Hi all - should I test / apply only when my PT scores are where I want it to be even if it means pushing back another cycle or more?
In a perfect world, I would plan to test in Oct/Nov, apply late fall, and be admitted for 2021. I'm anxious to apply this cycle because I'm currently I'm out of work and the given the job market is super crazy right now, it would feel seamless to try to go to law school next year after prepping full time right now. I'm already +3 years out of school with work experience and can't help but feel I'm getting up there in years. However, my undergraduate GPA wasn't the strongest either so even with my plan above, I wonder if it'd be risky to apply "late" as a potential (super) splitter.
I haven't taken a full diagnostic in a year and I would consider myself to be in the learning phase. Currently studying full time and ultimately would like to aim for a T20 school.
Bumping as this post seems super helpful! But I have a question in regards to timing. I may be overthinking this but I get that @ is recommending that we time ourselves with a stopwatch, but he mentions, "I then record only the score I got while timing myself."
Does this mean that I should only count the correct answers I got under, say 9 minutes (the approximate time I should be spending on each question), correct? I ask because I did an LG untimed and while I got everything right, it took me 20 minutes on the first attempt. Or should the takeaway be, just time every attempt and work on getting quicker? Thanks!
