Same happened to me! (I got a lower score than on all my PT's). Totally demoralising.

Same happened to me, although I pretty much knew I wasn't ready for the June but due to external pressures, I took it anyway. Glad to see I'm not alone. It's hugely demoralising, but I am trying my hardest to keep in mind that we learn the most when we fail. Grit is taking a hit, and getting back up to do it all over again. Keep going!

lol well I'm 35, married with 2 kids and on 3rd career although hoping to be a public defender. Well, if at first you don't succeed... With the career I'm choosing I imagine I'll be taking lots of hits.

Crashed and burned

So I did much worse than I thought I would on the June LSAT, like worse than all my pt's. Where do I go from here? Just redo the whole curriculum? Has this happened to anyone else? Not feeling great although I know I should have given myself more time.

Would it be very odd to have the headmaster of a private school who I know well and have volunteered for in the past write a reference? She has provided job reference for me, as well.

LOR for older student

I'm a mature student and haven't been to school since 2006. I can bet almost none of my professors even remember me . What is your advice for who to ask for LOR's?

Just took the London exam. Had 2 LG so 1 must have been experimental. Lg is my weakest section so was not happy with two sections of it! I ran out of time for games definitely did not do well,

However I found LR and RC to not be that difficult. Hard to say what I could have scored. Did anyone get a LR question about bats and hearing? For some reason this question has stuck with me.

@sheridickson10526 - the exam is tomorrow, June 7th. Funny that it's a day later than the American exam, not sure why.

Hi! I live in London (am an American) and I will be taking the LSAT in London tomorrow! What type of advice are you looking for?

@stepharizona288 @1108.ames - thanks for the help. I'm honestly so much further than I ever thought I could go on this test. I remember getting an LSAT book many years ago and being completely scared off by the games. I opened the book, saw the games, closed it, and never thought about law school again for another few years. I literally thought I would be intellectually incapable of taking this test. If I had the luxury of spending another few months, I know I could get even better, but right now my kids need their mother at night (and not the beast yelling 'get away from me, I need to study!').

Thanks, all. Probably not a great question to ask right before the test, but I can handle the truth! At the end of the day, this test is a means to an end for me. I'm not aiming for a top tier school (the school I want to attend isn't even in the top 50!) and with 2 kids, a job, a husband with a very busy career, and me living in London far from friends and family, I've done as much as I can do for now so I'm sucking it up and taking my chances. I probably could study for over a year trying to eek out every point but that's not feasible for me at the moment and the goal isn't to master a test it's to gain entrance to law school and be a lawyer! I know many many people who scored in the 150s and are in law school or are lawyers now. As long as this score gets me in, that's pretty much the goal!

@974 I'm asking because a lawyer friend of mine insists people's scores go up a few points on the actual test. Not sure where she got that info, probably just anecdotal.

There are 5 sections?!! I don't think I knew that. Is 1 experimental?

@nicole because he doesn't go to court, as I said AND he does not have a visible wrist tattoo. I am concerned with small visible tattoos that may not be covered by a jacket. I mentioned my brother in law because there are some people who seem to think that you can't have ANY tattoos, which is funny. @insidesurgery489 - not a joke thread at all. I mentioned a specific kind of small, visible tattoo, then gave an example of someone who had different kinds of tattoos. My original question is still one I wanted an answer to- are we or are we not studying for the LSAT! LOLZ! I appreciate all your answers.

Lolz you guys are funny. My brother in law is a HLS grad and practicing corporate lawyer and has full sleeve tattoos and front/ back. He doesn't go to court though and a long sleeve shirt covers them all.

Missing 10 on LR sections!!

I finished curriculum and have been taking Pts in the high 60's and 70's.

I've been missing 10 on the LR sections!! When I blind review I do much better and when I see the answers it all makes sense. Some I seem to be overthinking on. What should I do? The question types are

All over the board that I miss. Should I just re-watch all LR sections?

I do think there is such a thing as 'overstudying.' It blows my mind that some on here have been at it for over a year! How long have you been studying?

@jhaldy10325 - yes for sure, having strong reading comprehension skills helps so much on the LSAT, although it's somewhat discouraging that the section I haven't studied for is my strongest!! haha
