Really great post, this is something a lot of people go through, and unfortunately many make poor decisions. I know a guy who was capable of scoring a 170+. He studied for only 2 months, took the Dec test, and got a 163. He said he had to apply that cycle, couldn't wait another year. He's at a T25 school, but this is someone who could've easily gotten into a t-14 with a nice scholarship. One year isn't really a long time, and it's almost always worth it to delay. You wanna know that at the end of the day you gave it your best shot.

I think 62 has -14 curve

Ordered mine on Amazon yesterday with prime shipping and it's coming...Tuesday?! Needed it before sun so can get in on JY's BR. Anyone else order on Amazon? Hoping to get it earlier than expected

Nobody can answer that for you. If you were practicing in the low 170s prior to Sep, what makes you think you can't do that in Dec?

Academic ones are better. But try to get from all, can't hurt!

If RC is what's bringing you down it may be a little harder, but definitely possible. Just BR thoroughly and focus on your approach. I think you can get there, good luck!

I would retake

Study hard and wait another cycle, you'll end up being so much happier! Higher score changes everything

Nope, you have to retake. Good luck

Sucks I can't get onto TLS

Rumors of -12 curve

Friends of mine who took both 78 and 79 said they were about the same since the LR on 79 was supposedly really easy. Yes, it had a tough RC and LG, but LR makes up half the test. 78 had easier games, but tougher LR.

What I'm getting at is that every test is different in its own way. If a test is truly "harder" the curve will reflect that. The only test that I think the curve didn't compensate for difficulty was 72, that test was really really difficult.

Seriously the LSAC has got to stop this, it's getting ridiculous. So unfair, which testing center was this?

Same here, didn't take the test but from what I've heard: RC same as 78, LG harder because of last game, and LR very easy. So thinking -11,-12

62 was hard because of games but the really generous curve made up for it. Found 75 to be real tough also. And agree with the above poster, 72 was really hard, every section on that test was tough.

Someone told me the RC was really difficult

Great find, seems like this just came out. These tests are finally available, thanks!

Can you please provide a link? I'm seeing $8

Don't think that's true, I actually think the newer games are harder. They require more brute force.

Yep, looks totally fine

When exactly does the discount expire?

@.rizeq thanks, just emailed him. Hope he responds!

Rest of the games though from that PT are really easy.

@ Idk, taking undisclosed tests suck. Just something about it makes me feel uncomfortable. LSAC can be like" they're never gonna see the test anyway so let's see how they respond to tough/weird questions." I'll be taking an undisclosed test in Sep, just wish I was taking the test with everyone else lol.

Thanks everyone. Actually just found out from a friend that he doesn't teach anymore. So there goes the possibility of meeting him once the semester starts. The only option I guess now is to email him again and ask if we can arrange to meet up. I did well in his class and he wrote me an awesome recommendation letter for a scholarship at my school. So I think I can benefit a lot from having him write a letter. How would you guys suggest writing up the follow up email? Don't wanna come off as annoying. I kinda hate this process since you're asking people for favors and can't really pay them back.
