@ I'm still planning to apply for the fall 2016 semester if I take the February exam. There are a decent amount of law schools that still accept applications that late!

You guys make me feel so much better! Also, Pacifico, your comment on another thread about diapers had me laughing for awhile earlier (thought you should know)!

I will probably just go ahead and take the test in February, then. Sucks, but I've never failed a test in my life, and I definitely don't want this to be the first one.

What would I do without 7sage?! My friends are tired of hearing me talk about the LSAT. It's really nice to have a community of people here that understand.

Thanks for the replies.

I would like to postpone the test, but I was told from my pre-law advisor that if I take the test in December or February I probably couldn't get any scholarships, as the deadlines for them are usually in November. I can't really afford to go to a law school period without financial assistance. :-/

I can't make it all the way through any section.

I'm feeling pretty depressed and just beaten down right now because I'm not doing any better at the LSAT since I began for the most part. My lowest timed score in June was 144. To my utter disbelief, I took a PT today and got a 147. I've figured out that I'm only missing around 10 questions because of my stupidity; the rest I'm just unable to get to because I run out of time. I've gotten near 170 before multiple times, but those tests were all untimed. I'm scheduled to take the October 3rd test and I just don't know what to do at this point. I'm unable to get to at least 5 questions from each section.

Does anyone have any advice? I've been going through tests, doing BR, recording my score, and watching the explanation videos. I've also been looking through the analytics, seeing which question types I'm missing, and then reviewing the core curriculum for the applicable section. I'm starting to think that I'm just not made for law school. It seems like the test is just so much easier for other people; I actually had a lawyer laugh at me a few weeks ago when I told him I was actually studying for the LSAT (I'm quoting, "No one studies for the LSAT. If you have to study, you shouldn't try to go to law school."). I've been studying for 4 months and wish I had longer (my pre-law advisor actually told me I should just grab a logic games book and flip through it, that no studying was really required).

Since d-day is so soon, any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks guys!

Well, I offer no help, but I wanted to let you know that I'm in the same boat as you. Sorry to hear this. :( I'm planning to take the October test. I just took another PT and got a !!147!! I was getting scores as high as 166. Everyone, even my school pre-law adviser, keeps telling me that studying too much is causing me to fare worse. Idk though. I feel like test day is so soon that I have no choice but to constantly study.

Dear JY,

Your explanation of this passage made my day, especially the "well fk us" comment. I had complete brain soup after taking the timed test and doing the BR... and I was in a terrible mood. Thanks for the laugh. :-)

Guys. I didn't even realize there were watches specifically designed for the LSAT. I feel so behind, now. As if I haven't spent enough money already!
