GRE Instead?

What are the prospects of getting admitted to a law school that accepts the GRE? Is it really likely someone with only a GRE score can get admitted?

Two Cancellations?

How bad is it to have two canceled LSAT takes in a row? I've got one for Sept 2017 and as I prepare for my next take in July 2018, I can't help but think that may be a possibility (no matter how prepared I may think I am). For the sake of avoiding that mid-test fear and speculation, what should I do?

Copy of Test

I understand that those who took the September LSAT got a copy of the exam while those who canceled their scores, despite taking the exam, do not get a copy. Is this a policy with LSAC that’s worth questioning or should I just not even bother?

Just think of how you could’ve blithely gone through life thinking you’re the shit only to be wrong. To me, that’s enough to make me appreciate the test because otherwise I’d be in a worse position, regardless of how much better I would’ve felt about myself. Besides, the LSAT is just one of many challenges you’ll have to overcome, and nobody said improving yourself is an easy task. Just realize plenty of people struggle and have to overcome just as much so don’t make things too personal and just focus on the work.

LG and RC Skipping Strategies

What are good skipping strategies for questions on Logic Games and Reading Comp? Unlike LR, LG and RC sections require a certain investment in either a game or a passage so there's a kind of loss when you skip and come back at the very end to address those questions which are entirely dependent on a game or passage.

Also, is there a cutoff time or something else that goes into your determination for skipping on LG and RC?

Updating School Applications

So I heard some schools prefer applicants to apply once as opposed to updating their application with a second LSAT score for reconsideration of admission. Does anybody know anything about this? I'm considering this for my September/ December prospects as I decide whether to apply to schools after receiving my September score, and potentially updating my application with a December score, or just taking September and December and waiting until my December score to apply.

Also, it seems to me that updating your application with a score is more appropriate for scholarship as opposed to admission prospects. Is this the case?

$400 just for resumes doesn't sound too great. I wouldn't think resume's are that big of a deal.

@rahelaalam514 Thanks for the suggestions. It's a small firm so there's no chance of being moved to a less stressful position. I still think the issue hinges not on debt but on not having a strong reference for future legal prospects. A law firm position that's occupied a year and six months of my life will warrant a reference in the eyes of all my future employers, and I just don't know if it would be worth listing on my resume at all if I get anything less than a good review. That's my real fear.

I think I'll take the plunge. Quit, rely solely on my savings, and study my life out for the next few months. Hopefully, I'll find a job as soon as I finish with the test. May not have much saved up for law school, but I'll rely solely on my score for financial aid. This is such a huge risk, but I'm willing to take it to get into a top school, even if that means I'll be in debt.

Thank you both for your responses. But the thing is I'm not concerned about getting a letter of recommendation for law school so much as I'm concerned about getting a reference for future jobs.

What to do

Got nowhere to go. Need advice. I'm preparing for the Sept/ Dec 2017 test while working a demanding full time position at a law firm. This has put a significant strain on me to the point that I'm doing poorly in both despite all the incredible time and effort I've expended. I'm doing so poorly that I'm at risk of losing my job. I was told I have a month to see if things improve otherwise I'd be let go. I'm certain that my studying is the reason my performance has significantly declined. I honestly don't want to continue working knowing how important the test is but the only thing keeping me is the fact that I know I won't be able to get a reference for when it comes time to find a summer internship during law school. Most probably I'd be better off not listing this position, which now amounts to about a year and six months worth of experience, on my resume at all. If I were to stay and work, I know I could salvage myself so that I can make up for the drop in performance since I began studying. I just don't know if that's worth getting a low test score. I've already put off applying to law school for a while now and given what I've been through, which I don't want to get into, I couldn't wait another cycle even if I wanted to. I can see definite improvement with my score in the coming 4 months but it will really demand my fullest attention. Is it worth sacrificing my position now and putting myself at a significant disadvantage in finding another job so that I can devote myself to the test?

No offense to anyone, but being accepted to a tier 8 is almost equivalent to not having to take the LSAT anyway.

Testing Rules

Are we allowed to have a water bottle, or a drink within a bottle, outside of our plastic bags and within arms reach during the duration of the test? In other words, are we permitted to drink our beverage in the middle of a section or can we only drink during the brief intervals between sections and during the 15 minute break?

I don't go out anymore so I don't talk to people much and maybe this will help me communicate my difficulties better.

I definitely found having the interaction element key to improving on LSAT. Prior to that, I had started feeling lost on how to improve as well and didn't know where to go. So having someone work on stimulus with me and point out exactly where I was going wrong and based on that create a step by step learning process that was tailored to me was extremely useful.

I really hope this helps you too. I think self learning is essential to success on LSAT but if at a certain point one finds that they no longer know what to improve on or how to do it anymore, I think the key is to ask for help. : ) It's just that sometimes it takes an understanding of what someone does to find the right answer. It's hard to know what exactly someone's weakness is without spending that time with them and seeing how they do things.

Mind sharing some of those insights? I'm sure many could benefit from the advice!

No, you know what you're talking about and I certainly appreciate you getting into the deeper philosophical stuff even if it's not necessary for the LSAT.
