So some of the apps ask for all the LSATs you've taken and the scores you got. I have one cancelled score from July 2019, but do I still need to put that score and test date in? Or just put in the score I have received and is visible?
Based on the email and info on LSAC, I believe they will not let you preview your score, unless a writing sample is on file...."Beginning with the August 2020 LSAT-Flex, candidates will be required to have a completed writing sample in their file in order to see their test score or have their score released to law schools."
I would highly appreciate any feedback from the two schools. Hastings is less expensive than LLS and I am getting more financial aid. But I’ve always been told to look into the bar pass rate for each school. I get so confused on what the actual number or percentage is because the schools says something different than monthly reports from ABA. Does anyone know what the bar passage rate for these schools are or how to correctly interpret the percentages online? I feel like both schools are in the city and offer a lot of job opportunities. But I am so confused on how to pick a school. Any help or feedback would be highly appreciated!!!
I had RC-LR-LG.
Started with some proctor connecting issues, and she almost started the test without me having go through the protocol of showing my stuff. I made it pretty clear that I need to show my space, because I'm not trying to get this exam flagged. She took forever to respond. But I went in with space in my head that this might happen. Started the exam after 30 mins.
RC was on African American renaissance art, European environment/forest, comparative on decision making law and something else. I felt like it was pretty standard, but I definitely had a lot of questions where I was in between two, or just reading all the question/ans took long. Def did not feel amazing about it.
LR was pretty average actually, but some questions I think I was being too picky on the answers and it cut on my time. I'm not amazing at LR, but I would say it was a medium difficulty level.
LG was pretty tedious but not hard. I think if you manage your time properly you can easily get through the questions. I didn't have time for the last two but I think overall it was fine. Don't freak out from conditional rules or the fact that there are a lot of rules. Just one thing at a time.
I am hoping to hit the 160 margin, or if anything, close to it.
Felt like this was better than the Oct test though.
Good luck everyone!! :)

If I took the LSAT writing last November do I need to take it again this November?
@ If you already have a Writing on file, then you don't have to take it again.
@ Nope. Just 3 sections, 1 LG, 1 LR and 1 RC section.

If connection on ProctorU fails, does the proctor pause time or does it keep running? I take my test this Tuesday! Good luck to everyone :)
I had a connection problem in Oct, and basically the test stops if you have connection issues. So the time pauses too.

Hi I have a questions about the writing section since I haven't really prepared at all. Has anyone done it already? How is the process?
@ I just took it last week! It was a fairly simple process. I would highly recommend anyone taking it go to your LSAC homepage, under LSAT writing, and simulate the test using their "Get Acquainted with LSAT Writing" option. With that, it opens up a link for you to download the same software you'll be using for the exam. After downloading it, you can practice going through the entire process of the exam: mic and camera check, ID check, picture taken, scan the room, read the instructions, and start the exam. Any "exam" taken through the "Get Acquainted" link, will be practice and won't be sent anywhere.
Although for me, the practice exam, or "Get Acquainted" link, doesn't show prompts during the practice exam itself. So I just had a past prompt out to read, plan, and then write my essay, just like I did on actual day.
On the day you want to actually take the exam, you would go to the same LSAT writing page, but scroll to the bottom of the page, and click "Lunch LSAT writing" or something like that. You'll go through the same process as your practice exam, but obviously this one would count. Once you're done, your LSAT writing status should say "initiated". :)

Former admissions officer here. You can put down a deposit at your best current option. If you eventually get off the waitlist at your dream school, you can withdraw from the deposited school. This is not uncommon. Good luck!
Thank you so much for the clarification! I really appreciate it! :smiley:
Hi! This is great advice thank you! :)
I had an additional question. I recently got on the waitlist for a school I really want to attend. However in the meantime, is it okay to deposit money for my best option right now? In case I do get off the waitlist for the school I want to attend, can I still withdraw from the law school I deposited money for? I just want to be safe in case I don't get off the waitlist, but also I don't want to be bound to a school once I pay the deposit and suddenly get off the waitlist post deposit days. Not sure if this makes sense, but I'm really confused on the waitlist issue.
Interested!!
