People who have taken previous test, please let me know how the test centers rank. (if the location has flip-up desks, noisiness/quietness of the test center environment/proctors)
Any information would be helpful - thank you!
@ Lee Swagger - thank you. I am still contemplating on a Feb re-take or Oct. re-take.Just out of curiousity, will you be re-taking? Some of the brilliant lawyers that I work with here have taken their LSATs a few times and also didnt score well. They do say the bar was easier than the LSAT.
@ N - LG, for PT - I usually get most of them right. At times I will skip the last question of some of the games; for the real thing I got a -7. RC - I don't think I have a good strategy, but I try to mark up the author's views, the critics, then numbers/dates (details). LG - really depends on the section
@ - will try that.
@ - I wish I had the attitude, but I really feel burnt out now. May be instead of rushing for the retake in Feb, I may try the Oct test. The issue is I am already in my mid 30s and I really was hoping to get out of school by the age of 40. I am a in-house paralegal and looking to go part-time so it would take 4 years instead of 3.

@ - Good for you! I admire your motivation and perseverance.
Thank you everyone for the kind words.
@ - the problem is that never score that 159-161 on the REAL test, always -10 from the PTs. I believe it may be stamina issue, I always score the worst on the last section.
@ - I work with a bunch of lawyers and they say that the LSAT is harder than the bar exam (NY). May I ask where your friend went to school? (No specifics but, TT, T-14?)
@ N - This time around the RC. I got -15. From a few years ago, I have been reading the Economist religiously on a weekly basis (I actually love it now).
@ & @ Bob Lee Swagger - I actually applied with my 150 last year and I was waitlisted, and never got in at the school of my choice (a state school). Due to financial reasons, transferring from another school to that school really isn't an option for me right now.
Though with a late registration fee, I will sign up for Feb. and see how that goes. If not I will do it again may be in June/Oct. - but I will make that my last shot.
Thank you again everyone.
On getting a "decent" LSAT score, which would allow me to attend a top 100 school
Quite embarassed to post this but I do need some third party unbiased opinion/view. and I am quite desparate..... so here it goes. I took the Dec. LSAT my 3rd time taking this test. First was in 2011(took classes at PowerScore) - Cancelled, 2nd was 6/2012 - 150 (Iself studied) , this time around I used the paid 7sage course. - 149! I took baout 20- PT, averaging 158... the last 2 weeks I had score ranges between 158-161. [Been working full time 50hrs/week the entire time/I do not suffer from test anxiety
Though this is more than 10 years ago, I scored 1270 on my SAT, took several AP Classes in high school (History, Calculus I, English) and did mediocre (3.6) at a state school (my major was easy - Business Administration and Finance). - so I dont think I am retarded... but my LSAT scores obviously scream so.
Is the LSAT really an aptitude test?
Anyone taken the LSAT multiple times with little or no improvement?
Does LSAT REALLY measure your success in lawschool?
Any thoughts opinion/though welcome.
Thanking you in advance - desoarate old dog.
@ Lee Swagger - I debated over the weekend whether to take the Feb. or not. I have yet to decide, but I am leaning towards not taking it. I am a little burnt out, don' think I can improve significantly and I am also very depressed still with my Dec. results, in addition to other things. Though it is the same stats, I will go ahead and re-apply anyway... and will take the June LSAT also. I have been reading that a lot of places will take your June LSATs even though they do not officially indicate so. Hope luck is on both of our side!
@.valdez - thank you! I will try it out gain
