@ Any idea what the Yale admissions people meant by "super soft" in regards to military service? I'm currently active duty Navy and had around a 3.6 GPA in undergrad, hoping to get into Notre Dame. Taking the LSAT in August.

I'm curious how much my military experience will help my application, if at all.

Woah, I was in the late 40s for PTs averaging and was pretty consistently in the 163-168 range and just took PT 83 as a more recent one and got a 157. Granted I made a few silly mistakes, especially in the Logic Game section, but this has me thinking I should have started hitting recent tests a lot sooner. Are the more recent tests really that much more difficult?

I just started hitting the early 80s and I had a ten point drop between the stuff in the 60s and early 70s. I know there were a few silly mistakes made too, and I know I was going into the 80s with some anxiety about the "expected" score drop but oh man this is discouraging and I hope it's all in my head. Words of encouragement appreciated!

Guess I'm not the only one. I'm hoping I can correct it back to where I was with a few more recent PTs and solid review. Keep plugging away!

I was just about to post the same question so hopefully someone with some experience has a reply!

I am taking the August test, just finished PT 47. I want to leave some practice tests in the bank too in case I have to retake the LSAT after the first time.

Has anyone that has done every practice test and taken the LSAT noticed if certain PTs are more similar to the current test?

Had no idea we could use command+F. That would have helped a lot haha

I had two LRs. One definitely felt a lot easier than the other.

Diagnostic was a 143. Been studying for three months and routinely PTing in the low 160s. Highest PT score so far has been a 167. Undecided if I will take the August test yet.
