I think for me the last sentence/two sentences literally tell you that contradictions are okay claims too. Which eliminates D

General · For those disappointed with their scores

This is a lovely post but most people who are truly disappointed are those that have seen massive improvements on their PTs and not once has it translated to their actual test day score aka the test was taken more than once. It's very hard to go from expecting a 165 or better based on significantly higher PT scores and choosing appropriate schools to then dropping far below that and realizing that either 1) your goals are no longer viable (big law) or you have to move to a state you never planned on living in.

What makes it worse, is that nobody seems to be able to explain how scores from perfectly imitated PTs can vary so greatly (and repeatedly) from test day when there are no disorders or test anxiety.

Same. Studied for months. Haven't gone below 165 in months (and have been hitting 170+ consistently). Got a 158. I know it's far more likely that I just flopped instead of them messing up their scores but man this hurts! I am planning to see if I can miraculously convince them to give me a Feb test date or register for April if not, and submit now with an addendum :(

If Feb works can you please let me know? Since I got 157 twice in a row I am seriously wondering if they made a mistake (probably not).

Im wondering if I should talk to several tutors and see if they know what my problem is. Clearly there has to be more to it when the discrepancy is that large. Also, I might retake the April one but that is a BIG BIG maybe because clearly I couldnt resolve the issues I had with the test in my last few attempts.

I think anyone who has only retaken once or twice should definitely consider taking it again. It can't hurt.

Devastated after January LSAT results

I've been studying for the LSAT for a long time. At this point I have taken it 6 times and not once scored even remotely close to my PTs. In fact, before January I was scoring mostly high 160s, low 170s and got a 157 on the actual test. I wasnt nervous, I didnt have any hiccups, and it did not feel hard. Usually I am a great test taker. Yet I cannot get even CLOSE to my PTs. I don't know what to do anymore. My highest official score is 161 and it is nowhere close to any of the universities I would consider attending.

I don't know what to do or how to explain this outcome.

What do I do??
