Same thing happened to me-- I feel like something was off/different about that test-- definitely thought I did way better (I did score slightly higher though than October)

yeah... Pretty disappointed about that...

I'm thinking to do that too... I'll send in my apps asap and then retake if I'm waitlisted...

yeah- didn't get the score I was hoping for... Now for the next agonizing decision-- to retake or not.... luckily I only have 24 hours to decide!

just saw my score... oh well

and I'm trying to send out an application asap... hate this waiting :(

@ same! I was told to try back in an hour :(

Also wondering about this: Can I have the same answer for both short term and long term?

I know certain schools say specifically not to send them a newer version of your essays (you can revise and send to other schools of course). Northwestern, for example, said specifically not to send any updated version of essays...

First-- you won't know on test day if it's a five star question. Some people map out every conditional relationship, but often the harder PM or MBTs (especially now) use a more abstract, less mechanical logic (which is a lot harder to map out)

It all depends on your preference, but I personally like taking a step back and finding the thread of the stimulus in my head

commiserating with you-- #can'tstandthewait...

At first I was like that too, but when I realized that the content of the questions is interchangeable, the only pieces left are the universal, logical indicator words-- think of them as the skeleton for what you are reading. They are strong words and determinants of the operating logic of the stimulus (increase, all, some, often, etc.).

Hope this helps!

I would say to try working at them until they make sense to you. Often it's not even the question itself, but rather some core problem that you are struggling with. Focus on that and trying to understand the concepts, principles, and patterns.

Good luck!

Following!!!! Would love an answer ASAP

Apparently it's not normal and there is weird stuff happening-- maybe because of rankings? I am still waiting to hear back from a school...

In my first year of law school and... so, so true. All of it. This was so helpful to reread-- thank you!

Yes-- I would say to focus on how you read. It's not only about knowing what you read, it's mostly about understanding what "wasn't" said and drawing out connections/tones/etc. I like to look for a common thread throughout the passage; I like looking for contrasts, noting author's opinion, and trying to paint a broad picture of what I am reading.

Hope this helps!

What helped me most was taking everything super literally and really understanding how my board and rules were creating the full picture I wanted.

For example, I liked tailoring the game boards to meet a more visual standard for representing all the information

I'm assuming it lowers your chances at least somewhat... They take great pride in their interviews and really use it for some evaluation piece to the application... It's really not that bad-- I only had four questions with 30 sec prep and 1:30 speaking (8 min. total)

Same...

Nice! and with an honors- I'm impressed! was the main breakthrough figuring out the exams like you said?

Never mind-- I don't think I have typed answers because I'm supposedly having 4 questions in 8 minutes

It's only one point lower... I wouldn't cancel it

I just read your Law School Journal... loved it but ,ouch, that's really tough stuff! Looking forward! I have lots of questions :smile:

Yes. definitely worth it-- you can ask all your questions etc. to tutors in the class; also some of the classes are more advanced than others.
