Currently scoring a 146, and I'm terrified I won't hit above a 150 for the January LSAT. Anyone else in my boat? I've never been great at standardized timed tests.

@ Hi! That defintitely makes sense, I'll work on completing less but have more accuracy with them.
Hey @ I feel your pain! I've never been able to score above a 146. Today I had a 144 and it discouraged me.
That's rough, I also work and am also doing a master's, and take care of many family responsibilities, so by the time I get to studying, I'm exhausted! I hope you get into the 150's you never know, give it a shot this cycle, usually most schools will accept the February/April exam as the last administration for acceptance, and worst case scenario, you apply next year! You can improve points in a matter of a few weeks even. Don't feel discouraged!
I'm in the same boat as you. I am a good student, but I am not a good standardized test taker. I have been scoring 146 on my practice tests and feel embarrassed I cannot even score higher than a 150. I am quite scared for the January LSAT, it'll be my first LSAT. Do not give up on law. You have worked so hard to let a test bring you down. You are not too far away from the average LSAT score, which is a 150. 150 can get you into many places, and you are not too far. I would say, Depending on your GPA, I would advise writing an addendum explaining how you are not a good test taker, but of course make sure your addendum is not an excuse, but provides law school an explanation of how you are not the best test taker, but your grades reflect your skills more as a student. Have you had a history of doing poorly? For example, how did you do on the SAT/ACTs?
Best wishes and do not feel discouraged. Still submit anyways, the 146 will most likely be taken into account, unless you want to try again and haven't hit your annual limit.
Hey all, I recently started working with @tmh5947 & he is AMAZING! He's a pro in Logic Games, I was so overwhelmed learning LG, but Tyler made it less tedious and easy to understand! The best part is, for those on a budget like me, he only charges $25 and hour. The first half hour is free, so it's $12 for the first session! Tyler's super sweet and is EXTREMELY knowledgable. This is not an advertisement, I truly work with Tyler, and I couldn't be happier. For anyone who wants to reach out, his e-mail is tmh5947@psu.edu
You WON'T be disappointed.
Hey Ty, we're in the same boat. Just messaged you!
Would love to join!
