I am going to score above a 165!!
Hi, I am a Canadian LSAT taker and have taken 2 times before, (159, 162). I want an increase in my score and want to try again before I apply for Canadian Schools (UVIC, U Ottawa, etc.) I am debating between September and October LSATS because I want to apply but do not want a very late admission, but I do want as much time for the best success.
Any advice?
Congrats! The LSAT can teach valuable lessons, and I hope it taught you to never give up on yourself, no matter what your self-doubt may tell you. I hope I have a similar fate as you! Best of luck in Law School.
I just finished, but during my exam my proctor forgot to do the room scan after the break. So they made me do it during the exam, I lost about 4-5 minutes just because of the confusion of it all. So I had to rush through the entire section and would have had 5 minutes to spare which we all know is crucial.
Is there anything I can do about this? or is my exam just gonna suffer.

I am actually looking at UVIC I think but I know they are more fluid with the admissions. However, I want to keep my options because if I got into Toronto or Vancouver, I might decide that is what is best for me.
a low 160 is nothing to be ashamed of, for me I think it is the stagnation that is sure to come from practicing something, but I also feel like I can overcome it which is a bit more frustrating.
If I can give you some advice as a peer, I would focus on your GPA and do the LSAT when you can. I made the mistake of trying both and it is very difficult without one suffering over the other. Practice lots, for me one-day certain sections just clicked (LG specifically), it's hard to learn to look at these questions under the LSAT perspective, but once you do it becomes much easier.
I appreciate the response, it has made me feel better before my test I am about to take lol.
I understand, I suppose that is where I got into the predicament I am today. Not that the next test is a wash. There is a great chance I make significant improvements from my last test.
It is important to note I am from Canada, and want to go to a higher end school in Canada.
Moving forward from this test regardless of the result, I will decide if I want to keep practicing (or have it in me lmao). If I do decide to keep practicing, I will take the test when I feel ready, rather than for a deadline basis.
I appreciate your advice, especially the questions of why I want to go to law, and what this means for me.
I suppose far too often the journey feels like living to the expectations of those who encourage you, rather than for yourself.
Hi all,
I feel a little stressed, as I booked my second LSAT for tomorrow, and got more overwhelmed with school than I previously thought I would be.
I scored 159 on my first LSAT largely due to nerves and some test day mistakes. I am PTING from 164-165, but I am hoping to finish with a 166-167 range.
I feel pretty stressed, and want to feel ok about taking a third test if I need to, but I am not sure if it is work the risk. Anyone have any advice on this? if I do decide to take it again, I will practice all summer and see if I can make significant improvement.
I still am working on the base course work, but I find I am running behind a bit on my study schedule. Should I aim to complete the entire course with all the prep tests before I take the LSAT?
RC was easily where I struggled most. I hope I shock myself but feeling uncertain for sure.
