I'm a bit stuck in the 161-165 range. Which isn't bad, but my diagnostic was 161, so I'm feeling pretty discouraged that I haven't improved in three months of studying. (though I've only done 3 full timed PTs since the diagnostic.)
I'm nearly perfect on RC, running out of time on LG, and consistently missing way too many LRs.
I'm registered for July, but wondering about postponing until September.
HOWEVER...I'm non-traditional -- that's the euphemism for old, right? -- yes, I am old. My work schedule for the next month is manageable for study-time, but August is going to be a mess, and I'm worried that I'll be rusty and/or distracted when the Sept test day comes.
Anyone have any thoughts? Is a 5 to 9 pt improvement possible in the next five weeks?
Any advice would be very appreciated.
I've been keeping my studying and law school plans secret from almost everyone I know, since I don't want anyone I work with to know I'm leaving quite yet...so don't really have anyone I can seek advice from...
eta: oh, and monday is the last day to postpone without a penalty, or...i cant remember but there's some fee I think if I wait until later to decide.

> My school has more 30+-year-old students than I expected (on their website I think the average age is 24?). We have a huge LLM program and the LLM students are usually more experienced and older -- after 1L, classes usually have mixed JDs and LLMs. If you commute to school, you probably will miss many school events, which are good opportunities to network. Living on campus will help you make more friends and stay connected. Sign up to join the student organizations at the beginning of the school year, you will get help and outlines from 2Ls and 3Ls.

Work experiences are generally helpful in big law job interviews (especially if they are law-related) but most employers still care most about 1L grades. As older folks, you only need to come up with good stories about why law? why law as your second career? The rest of the questions you get are pretty standard. Don't worry! Your school's career office will help you and they are very good!

This is really helpful advice. Thanks!
