I took the July LSAT. It was quite an experience b/c the LG section just threw me off. I felt confident about only one game and had to make a lot of guesses on two games.
I've just been feeling so disappointed with myself. This was my third time taking the test. I was scoring in the early 170s on my practice tests. I worked really hard to get my pt score average to high 160s - early 170s. But everything just went to the drain on the real test.
I can't afford another score below 165. Both of my first two scores have been below 165. I know that the general advise is not to cancel, but I don't feel confident about the July LSAT at all. Doing well on the logic games is so critical for my overall performance on the test. I'm thinking of canceling and taking the September test. What do you think? At this point, I know that I'm capable of scoring 170+ and I don't think my performance on the July test will represent my full potential and how much I've improved on this test .
This is reassuring. I think my focus was really off during RC too.
I am taking the July LSAT. I just took PT 84 and my score dropped significantly. I went from scoring up to 175 to mid 160s. RC was my worst section. I had RC down to -3 or less but this was just bad. Don't know how to feel about this.
Hi all,
Hope your weeks are off to a good start.
I was doing really well on the logic games section on my practice tests (0-2). But in my last two practice tests, my performance has gone down all b/c I can't figure out one game in the section. I've noticed that both of the games I missed were rule driven, games that don't have allow for a lot of inferences and you just have to rely on the rules to solve the game. I've struggled with rule driven games before as well.
What are some games that you think I should practice?
Hey all!
The law schools applications have a section on education. I put in the high school and college info..but do I need to include my rankings and gpa for high school? I haven't been putting that in for some apps I've submitted b/c I honestly don't remember..I was my high school's salutatorian but beyond that I don't remember my gpa or anything.
wow, I searched myself...I didn't know that people can find out your exact age and hometown through different sites
Thanks guys! This is really helpful. The break has been longer than I expected. So I'll write a short note with my application. I just don't want them to question anything.
Hey all!
I've been taking a break after my fellowship for family reasons and to work on my applications. Do I have to include anything in my resume? I'll be working again in January so I was planning to send a updated resume when I start a new position.
Do I have to do anything else...I was told by some people that since it's normal for people to take time off after a fellowship, I don't have to do anything. I can just update the schools when I start something.
Hey all! So I submitted a resume for a school that comes out fine out of my printer but I'm worried that my narrow margins might not work for every printer. Should I email a resume with better margins to the school - just to be safe?
I feel I'm just making silly mistakes like this in on my apps.
Thank you all! This is very helpful. I got everything in last night and my letters are complete today. I'll just email the school to make sure everything is ok. I can email from the school early morning saying that they had received my application.
I just found out that one of my schools wanted an app. "submitted and deemed complete" by tomorrow. I'm going to have everything submitted on my end today but I think two of my rec. letters will come in tomorrow. Should I be worried?
omg I'm in the same boat, they removed the hold on my account at 2pm as well...idk when the score will come out
I haven't gotten my score back yet but just wanted to express how moved I am by the posts here. It's incredible how y'all are moving forward and not quitting. I don't know what I'm going to face when I get my score in the coming days but this is puts things into good perspective.
Thanks so much Alex! Yeah I need to just take mind off of this. I’m going to give LSAC a call tomorrow to figure out what I need to get my score.
I was panicking the whole day waiting for my score only to find out that my score release is on hold bc of a fee waiver I applied for law school apps. I’m so frustrated...has anyone else experienced this?
I just wanted my score and move on with life.
I'm so happy for you. Have been very inspired by your resilience and determination.
