I had a horrible experience with digital so i’m glad it’s not like that for everyone. The stylus was alternatively too sensitive and would click on areas that I hadn’t even selected, or wouldn’t respond to pressure and not select answers. A lot of time was wasted for me clicking and reclicking ACs because the stylus (and my finger) didn’t register immediately on the tablet. A lot of people in my testing center had the same issue. We also didn’t all receive a stylus, nor fully charged tablets. It was kind of a disaster and really really stressful. I wish I had had paper

Oh god.. this is my worst nightmare! I am so sorry that it was this stressful. I would really recommend submitted a complaint to LSAC so that they are made aware of how awful these issues are!

Why would you consider throwing away all of your hard work? This is a great score!! I wish I had this score! I would be crying with joy if this were my score. It will not serve you at all to cancel it, so why would you?! KEEP IT!!

I am having the same issues with RC. It is somehow my most hit or miss section. I agree with lexxx745, I have been able to improve on my speed, but not understanding. What I am trying now is to practice reading without understanding, but rather prioritize recognizing what the point of each paragraph is. That way, you know where to look back if you hit a question you don't understand. I am a person who reads to understand and that is really not the strategy here. I found this reiterated by Malcolm Gladwell is his recent podcast: http://revisionisthistory.com/episodes/31-puzzle-rush ...

Hey, I started out with a 146 last year and it took me painstakingly long to reach high 150's and have stayed there for awhile now. I was studying full-time but decided to get a full-time job instead and shift my gears to have a stable income, have a peace of mind (back-up if law school doesn't work out in the next 2-3 years), and have a chance to meet other people. I am slowly starting to pick things up from where I was before and plan on taking it slow from here. Don't rush your process. It's a steady race; run at your own pace!!!

Thank you for sharing. I think your plan is a solid one. It is really true that the full-time studying makes the LSAT the 'be all and end all' and that is extra stressful and does not contribute to a joyful life haha. This definitely has been my experience thus far. I am going to try to find a similar balance in my life and process. Best of luck to you!!

Just to give you perspective, I am 46. Erase loser from your thoughts, you deserve to be treated the best by everyone but especially yourself. Keep pushing forward.

Feel like this is taking forever...

I only recently decided to aim for law school (finished my BA in 2015 and decided in 2018 that I would try to write the LSAT). I have now been on/off studying for the LSAT and wrote it once already and got a 152. My plan is to write the test a couple more times to see what mark I can get and apply asap. But I am stressed that this whole process of getting a decent mark on the LSAT, getting together an application, finding people to give me recommendations (I don't think any of my professors even remember me), etc. is going to take another year or so. I am panicked that this is taking too long and I have this feeling that other people have done all this in way less time. Am I a total loser? Is it normal to take two years to get a decent LSAT mark and get together a decent application with decent recommendation letters? I will add that I am 28 so I also have a contributing feeling of being "old" or "behind" already...

I would love to hear about other people's experiences!
