Any other first time LSAT takers just hoping and praying they're not taking the December test??!!!
Um. Yes. That'll be me.
I told myself (as I'm sure countless others have) that I'm just going with this one score. I felt good about my performance immediately after I finished the LSAT but that damn doubt seems to grow a little every day!
Same on all accounts. I have no intention of taking it again, but I kept all my books because at the same time I'm like...... did I actually get the score though?
Absolutely. My books and notebook are on standby because if I underperformed they'll be my first stop (after the liquor cabinet of course lol).

So many people have already said they had one LG section and it contained Theatre/Menu Items/Interviews/Student projects and you can include me in that group. I thought it was easy. The only trouble I had was with the Menu Items. I did a game board, looked at the questions and immediately knew I wasn't seeing something. I skipped it, finished the section and came back to it. I saw my mistake right away, made 3 or 4 game boards and easily answered the questions.

So my last 12 PTs were within the last 6 weeks and every one of them was 166-169. I had RC LR LG RC LR The test was hard enough for me to be questioning my performance but I'm hoping that's just a little shaken confidence and not an indicator of what's to come in 3-4 weeks!! It was my first real one (and hopefully my only one). The experimental RC was the second round of RC for me and easily the hardest part of the test. I finished both LR sections right before the 5 minute warning, went back to check answers and felt great about both sections. On the food/QG rule LG game, I started diagramming and saw that I was missing something. I skipped it, came back to it and immediately saw my mistake (didn't realize how restrictive the QG rule was). Made 4 diagrams, I think, and easily answered the questions. I worked at a slightly slower than optimal pace for the real RC. I believe this was due to the fact that it was the first section of my test so I wasn't warmed up yet. I got to the last section right before the 5 minute warning and had to make educated guesses on the last two questions. I had time to eliminate a couple answers for each question but I wasn't not happy with myself for that. 170 is my standard so trying to stay positive over here! And let the drinking begin...I woke up 2 hours before my alarm today (rarely happens) and drank a beer lol #TeamHomestead
I've applied to the JD/PhD programs at Columbia (Political Science) and NYU (Politics) because I want to practice law, teach law & political science, and research & write on American Politics. One of my current professors says if he could do it over again, he would have gotten a JD to go along with his PhD. I guess it depends on your career goals.
