I like the question analytics feature where it shows your accuracy with certain question types and will also show you what the level of accuracy for that question type is for those who achieve your goal score. I am wondering if there can be a feature added that will calculate out an estimate LSAT score for someone based on their accuracy with each question type.

I feel this feature would allow people to see in real time what increases in accuracy with certain question types is doing for them. Maybe someone in the course of a week only increase some question types by 3-5% and feel discouraged if the suggested accuracy is still 15% away, but this feature could hopefully counteract that by showing the affect on someone's predicted score - something that all of us care about greatly due to the consequences the score can have for us.

Obviously a disclaimer regarding the accuracy of such a feature would be important, since the only real way to be confident in reaching that score is to take PTs to simulate the actual exam and built mental endurance, but I still think this would have its uses as a motivation for people.

@PhoebeHopp Thank you! This info on usage of PTs is definitely helpful!

I think this may also just be a feature of the arg writing section that it tells you when something seems to be misspelled, but I could be wrong. But either way, I think the worse thing that can happen is they just cancel that arg writing and ask you to redo it, which I don't think is the worst thing in the world

Personally, I recommend not including a resume, transcript, and brag sheet. You can do what you want, but I think adding those materials allows a professor to write a generic LOR rather than a stronger LOR which goes into deeper detail with your experience in that professor’s class(es). I would exclude those and rather offer to set up a meeting to discuss what you are looking for and what the professor is willing to write for you. They may ask for those materials anyway, but if you can avoid it I think you should likely be able to get a better LOR from what I have heard

Hi all, after taking PT 128, I am wondering whether the earlier tests (120s) are as representative of/difficult as the actual LSAT compared to the newest tests (140-150s). Does anyone have any knowledge about this?

🙃 Confused

How should I interpret this score?

Hi all, I just got a 175 on PT 128. While I am so happy with this result, there is also a bit of confusion. For context, I was studying and PTing a lot earlier in the year from January to April before taking the April LSAT, and was averaging around 166/167 near the end of the studying. Then I had a bit of a break and came back to drilling, and just now took my first PT since then. I was surprised to get this score, and even more surprised to get a blind review of 180 given my avg PT score from before. I am wondering if the earlier PTs (120-130) are different in difficulty from the newer ones (140-159)? Do the emphasize different problem types more?

Essentially, I am wondering how I should make sense of this higher score now, and, through I obviously need to take more PTs to get a better grasp of my current skill set, whether scores for these older PTs tend to translate to the current administrations of the LSAT.

@JacobBaska Thank you! One question: when you say higher LSAT here, what do you mean by "higher?" Do you mean higher than the median for a given school? Do you mean above a certain score (say, above 170)? Obviously the plan is to maximize my score, but I guess I am wondering out of curiosity of whether there is an LSAT score guideline for a situation like mine where the strength of any resume, LORs, written statements would not really save me (also understanding that every school is different, and this may not be something with a black and white answer).

GPA Improvement Considerations

Hi all, I have a question on how law schools consider undergrad GPA based on hearing various takes in the past. Starting college, I initially performed not as well as I would have hoped, as college was a big adjustment for me (first gen student). My GPA was lower for freshman and sophomore year (probably in the 3.6 -3.7 range), although I eventually was able to adjust and I would estimate my GPA throughout my last two years of undergrad to be in the 3.9 area. Ultimately, my final GPA ended up being 3.79. I am wondering how law schools (especially T14s) react to situations like these. Is the GPA improvement not really that beneficial? Or will law schools (without a better way of describing it), largely interpret my stats based on my latter performance as opposed to the former two years? Somewhere in the middle?

Nice! How much do you study each day, if you don't mind me asking? And where do you focus your study time?

@Optimusbladerunner Ahh got it yeah I didn't realize that is the way to approach BR, that makes sense in that case if someone is approaching it like that, thanks for clarifying!

Unless I misunderstand BR, I would be weary of thinking of it as an accurate representation of your current scoring on a full untimed test, since as far as I am aware it is a representation of your ability to take a second look at questions and identify the correct answer after originally getting it wrong (maybe a lot of questions had 2 seemingly possible answers, and the questions became much easier once you knew one of those was wrong). If you do want to see what your score looks like with no timing, you could take a test untimed to get a better grasp of it if this is a good sign of potential. Not saying this to discourage you, I just know that while confidence is good, getting too complacent with your ability to improve/quickly reach a score you want during your studying can wreak havoc down the line.

With that said, I think the best way to improve timing really is drilling and practicing. The way a resource I use puts it is that you need to develop certain skills and processes, like identifying flaws, eliminating answers, etc., and those may take longer early on. However, once you practice them over and over, doing things like eliminating wrong answers will take less time allowing you to not feel as rushed and spending more time on understanding the stimulus. IMO, concepts can be good to go back to as you notice themes in your scores. If a certain type of problem causes more trouble, maybe you are shaky on those concepts. If you are getting certain types right all the time, even the hardest questions, it would be less important and a less efficient use of your time to review those concepts.

I work full-time and can be quite tired at the end of a long day, and my work especially is the type that can be draining. From prior experience, I kind of feel that studying for as long as I should each day can end up getting to a point where I am too tired to focus on my studying; sometimes it is fine but others I just kind of go through the motions. Do any other people who have tried studying while working have any tips or strategies that worked for them?
