Hello everyone! Long story short, I took the LSAT in 2025, took about 6 months off from studying, studied again, and retook it about a year later after my first test. When practicing, I was scoring higher than my first time by quite a bit, around 3-5 points, which is what I was going for. However, when I took it, I scored the same as my first test. I was super disappointed because I felt good that day, and I really have no idea what happened. I took the LSAT a month later and increased my score by 7 points, which was great! The thing is, does it look bad that I increased my score by 7 points in a month? Technically, it was around the score I was getting on most of my practice tests, and that extra month of studying got me an extra point or 2 but admissions only sees the numbers, so I don't know if I should explain, and if I should, I don't really have an excuse; I guess I just had a bad test day. I don't know how else I can describe it. Is anyone else in this situation, or does anyone have advice?
I have 2 options for my law school resume. One is more detailed and two pages, and it includes work experience, projects, technical skills (I am a software engineer), School Activities, and Scholarships/ Awards I won. The other is a 1-page resume that includes only my work experience and projects. Which do law schools prefer?
@DaisukeKaga Yes thank you! While writing a report it actually answered most of my questions so Ill answer them in case anyone else went through something similar this period:
To me it never hurts to submit you own so I did
2 and 3 You have three options when you submit a complaint, 1 to submit a complaint and keep your score, 2 to cancel your score and get a credit to take in next testing time (For me August), or 3 retest on their retest day that is later in June and you do not get your first test score
Hi everyone... I am commenting on here to see if anyone has gone through this and what I should do. I took the LSAT today at a testing center and from the very beginning the test was not acting right. I would click the next arrow and it would go up 2 questions instead of one and then I would have to click the answer bubble like 5 times for it to go through and the same to cross answers off. I told the center at halfway and we talked and she reset my computer and said she will write a report but also when I sat back down my test was already 30 seconds into the second half and I really don't think I took that long or maybe it just took me a while to answer all of their questions but I just went to the bathroom super quick after explaining what was going on and when I got back the test already was going. In addition, the problems were still there the second half and it just really threw me off to where I don't think I did too great. So I have some questions,
I told them also that it was doing the same thing the second half and they said they would write a report but the person wasn't writing down any of the things I was saying so should I still submit a report as well?
If I write a report can I still see/use my score if it ends up being fine? I finished all the sections and I still gave it my all so if I have some luck maybe I still scored reasonably well (trying to be positive lol) :)
If I wrote a report what would be the likely output? Like would they maybe give me a free retest and would that be in August? Like I said this was my third test and I was REALLY hoping it would be my last so if I would have to wait all the way to August I don't even know if I want to do another 2 months of studying.
THANK YOU for any advice and if you took the June LSAT may you get a higher score than you hoped :)
@zunair Yes that was what I was thinking. I am going to cut it down and take out technical skills because they really don't add much to the resume. I think if I cut it down Ill be able to squeeze in activities and awards. Thank you for your help!
