Given that the submission is a google doc, can we still make edits after booking? I plan to book for end of November, and want to put in some more work beforehand. Thanks in advance!!
After getting my score back yesterday, I honestly wasn't too upset! I was shooting for a 165+ and received a 164.. A little frustrating but not a bad score. However, some of my top schools' medians shot up to 165 and 166 this year. I'm at or above the LSAT median for most of the schools I'm applying for, with the exception of 3-4. I had a rough dual enrollment transcript which caused my CAS GPA to go down to a 3.17. I am writing an addendum, but there's no way to change the number unfortunately. The question is whether or not I should retake. I'm already signed up for November, so it's really a question of applying next week or taking November with the potential of increasing my score 1-2 points. My highest PT has been a 167 and I scored a 166 the week after October. I have been really sick, so I haven't studied much, but plan to lock in these last two weeks. Any thoughts?? If only I had gotten one more question right!
Edit: A couple more important aspects of my application: I have 3+ years WE in criminal law for the government, strong professional LORs, relevant volunteer experience, and a strong PS.
As someone who has studied previously and just started back up again, this is SO HELPFUL!
@Josephine Thank you so much! I went through my first LR section and noticed I had picked attractive trap ACs on almost all of them, so drilling with the goal of looking for trap answers will be very helpful. Also, me struggling with Q4 definitely affected the rest of that section. Again, I really appreciate your thorough response!
First perfect section ever! One week since October (hoping I did this well then). Any tips on consistency throughout sections??
@atysonlsat Thank you for your response! I think my prediction skills need work. I find myself too often jumping right into the ACs. I'll try predicting the wrong answers too, that's a great tip that I've never thought of! I think I passively recognize patterns, but think I'll gain a couple extra points if I work on being more active.
@Adam I really appreciate your thorough response! I think the gap comes down to a timing issue in some LR sections and an overall timing weakness in RC. Usually, in my recent PTs, I'll have one scored LR section with -3 to -0, but the other scored section at -7 to -5. I don't think it's fatigue related because sometimes my best performance comes in the final section. I think it's an early time sink that causes me to panic and affects the rest of the section. During BR, I'm able to slow down and can pick out traps in ACs. For RC, how I do can depend greatly on my understanding of the passage. Sometimes I'm at a -3 and sometimes I'm at a -10. I was thinking of joining a few live classes this week on my weak points (art, humanities, and I do not get along under timed conditions).
I took a PT yesterday (have yet to BR) and got a 166. Hoping I did that last week too🤞
I hope your October test went well and good luck for November!! We're in the end game now!
I got this correct, but I was going between A and E. If E were flipped, could that be a correct answer? E was attractive but I eliminated it because it doesn't matter what money proves about financial markets. However, doesn't the author make the assumption that what is true of financial markets is also true of money generally?
Hi everyone! I took the October test last week and gave myself until today to relax and not think about the LSAT. Now, I'm trying to pick my best course of action. I am currently PTing in the low 160s with a 167 two weeks before October. I felt pretty good about my October test (better than any of my PTs so far), but for all I know I could've been in the 150s. Anyways, I'm operating as though I will be taking November. My goal score is a 165+. I've been studying 2 hours a day 6 days a week. I do timed sections with thorough review as well as targeted drills on my weak points. I do one PT a week with a full review the following day. Would it be worth it to try something new? Maybe try The Loophole as I haven't read it (if it can even be read in this short time). Or just keep doing what I'm doing? I feel pretty stressed in this last month as November is my last chance at my goal score. I also feel like I'm in a weird limbo as I don't know my October score. Any thoughts/tips are appreciated!
I have chocolate on my break. Eating something (especially something sweet) helps a lot with that end game fatigue!
"But there are historical approaches, and there are historical approaches" okay I'll see myself out
Sat with the correct AC for 30 sec.. only to talk myself into AC E... note to self: PICK AND MOVE ON!!
TWO WEEKS OUT LET'S GO!!!! First PT above goal score!
Thank you! I actually just finished my PT for today (haven't done BR), and scored a 167! So now safe to say the jump is possible 😊
Hi there! I’m in a similar position (have been working over 3 years). I’m shooting for a 165 as I have a 160 on file, but my highest score is a 163. I signed up for November as an insurance policy. If you’re financially able, I say go ahead and do it. If I get the score I want, I’m just going to cancel November and eat the cost. Good luck in these last couple weeks!
@isojess1 I'm going to work on that this week! I appreciate your response :)
@EthanMadore Thank you!!
