@ Thanks for the heads up! You were right, I went to register for the test centre nearest to me and it was already at 'Limited Availability'...that's crazy.

@ Thanks for putting this together!

Does anyone have an idea of how fast the test centres typically fill up? (I'm in the Greater Toronto Area, Canada if that helps). I am trying to decide between September and November, but I want to wait a bit longer with studying to see where I'm at. But I also want to avoid one of the dates filling up/having to pay a fee to reschedule to a later date...

@ Thanks a lot for your advice and your input! It's encouraging to see that so many people were one day in the same starting spot for me (it makes me feel less and less that my studying is hopeless). What you're saying about expectations and improving RC makes a lot of sense and it's in-line with what a lot of people are saying. Maybe I can improve my score by that much, but it will just be a matter of time. So hopefully I can figure something out that gives the most returns (probably going to start with some solid reading materials).

Also, I just wanted to say, don't let anyone around you discourage you or stop you from going for it! At the end of the day, you're only doing it for you, so as long as you're happy with it and you want it, then go for it :smiley: When all of your hard work pays off, it will feel so much better. Good luck with the June write and I hope you get your dream score!

@ Thank you for your response! What you're saying about expectations makes sense, as a few other users have said: 170 could be possible but maybe with a more realistic time frame. That's something I am trying to think over (rethinking my timeline or maybe the score that I am aiming for). But it's awesome and encouraging to hear that you were in the same starting spot as me and that you were able to improve that much! Good luck with the June write, I am sure your hard work will pay off, and I hope you crack the 170 :smiley:

@ Thank you for your response! I currently don't have a concrete study strategy outside of working on the core curriculum..I think I am going to supplement that with stuff on the side to improve RC, that was recommended by yourself and other users (reading materials and audiobooks). Hopefully with time it can start to show some significant results.

@ Thank you for your response! It's encouraging to see someone in a similar situation and it definitely helps to give me a better picture of what to expect. Juggling studying while doing everything else (school, working, etc) really is a bummer, so hang in there! Good luck with your June write, I am sure all of your hard work is going to pay off :smiley:

@ Thank you for your advice! A lot of what you're saying makes sense, and I am also wondering if September will be too soon of an expectation to set my sights on. My biggest issue is, I want to know how I'm doing before going through the whole law school application process again (to avoid wasting my time, energy and money..and also the heartache...). So maybe closer to the fall, if I find that I've been improving well, and I decide to reapply for sure, I can push my test to November to give myself more time. I should also have a better idea with my PT scores closer to then, so we'll see. Good luck with your studying :smiley:

@ Thank you for your response! It's encouraging to see someone else who was in a similar position with positive results. I am definitely going to take your advice on the reading materials and audiobooks, that seems to be a good option recommended by a lot of users. Do you have any humanities or law materials that you found particularly helpful? My background is science/engineering so I think it would be good for me to focus a bit more heavily on other reading materials.

Also, good luck with your June test! Your hard work will pay off and you're going to ace it :smiley:

@ Thank you for your advice! I think I am going to focus on the core curriculum and get that done, while making time to strengthen RC on the side. Yourself and other users mentioned reading materials and audiobooks as a good tool, so I'm definitely going to look into that. Do you have any particular reading materials that you would recommend?
