147 from October 2020

Hi, this will be my third time on the LSAT and have started applying to schools (they all know I am taking the LSAT in January). The past two times I got 143 and 147. I have severe test anxiety specifically for this lsat and have never experienced text anxiety for a test in university, grad school, anywhere. I guess I would say that logic’s reasoning is my strength, then reading comprehension, then logic games. I want to improve as much as I can and have made changes in my habits to help my anxiety including going on medication. Should I go about improving on all sections or just one? And what would be a reasonable expectation for a score increase?

From what I understand, an addendum is beneficial if you can display a circumstance that properly explains your adverse situation. I know that law schools enjoy seeing progress in your grades, and seeing that you went from 3.2 to 3.8 is absolutely better than the inverse. The transcript, as you sort of mentioned in your question, will answer that question. Plus, they will see your major had changed as it will reflect in course load. I am not sure how they would take an explanation of being in a rural town with no stoplights into consideration. I feel it would be more provoking to the committee if you perhaps grew up in extreme poverty, or went through an equivalent adverse situation. Plus, you had showed in your improvement of gpa that you did overcome that adversity.

Confirm action

Are you sure?
