I am just here to congratulate you! Wishing you all the very best for your interview :)

That is awesome!!! Congratulations. And, thank you for sharing. While studying for this beast of an exam, I can easily lose track and motivation by not seeing any improvement in my score. However, success threads like yours remind me that there exists some hope, and that I should keep doing what I am doing, and perhaps the results of my hard work will be paid off one day. So, thank you and wish you all the best!

Hi, I am very glad to have found this thread! I am struggling with language barrier as well as English is not my mother tongue. To be honest, I speak four languages and did not learn English in depth until I decided to go to university in English and had to take few required courses to start my program.

I love to read, and I read a lot, however, when doing PTs RC sections are where I struggle the most. I run out of time and question my comprehension abilities!

Please count me in. Thank you!

I think it is very hard to give advice to anyone if you haven't really read their personal statements. I am not an expert by any means. But from what I have learnt from a few seminars that I have attended, it needs to be your interview on paper (your experiences, your struggles, the way you have overcame them, why would you like to pursue law, why at that specific school, where does your passion for social justice come from, etc.) Note that these are only some examples. As I said, it is an interview on paper, and obviously, all of us have our own unique stories to tell.

There is no doubt that as any other part of the law school application, the PS is very tough too. I wrote mine last year (it took a few months of writing, and a number of drafts being scrapped). However, I am still not determined if I would want to submit the one that I have wrote. I have a feeling that it still needs a lot of work.

But if any of you may want to read mine and give me some feedback, or would want to send your own to me? I would love to get some feedback on my PS and perhaps look over someone else's and share my thoughts.

(1) You're definitely right about everyone's issues being individual. (2) I will gladly read yours and offer what advice I can, and I'll send you mine when i have one... (3) I really likle the idea of your PS being your interview on paper. Maybe try to answer the hypothetical interview question, "Tell me something about yourself that's important to your identity" or something like that.

Okay, sounds great!!! Thank you. I am actually still working on mine but as soon as I will finish it, I will send it to you, and will be waiting to read yours and offer my advice :) For (3), that is the question that makes me reflect upon my story. How to answer that question if asked by admission committee of a law school.

All the best!

Congratulations!!! And, thank you so much for sharing this with us. It is always very encouraging to see how people can actually improve on this test. Keep up the great work!

Great post!! Thank you.

Congratulations!!! An awesome accomplishment. Good luck on Saturday!

Congratulations! Thank you so much for sharing the details of your studying journey.

I am in the exact same position as you are! I haven't finished the curriculum nor do I think that I will be getting a +170 on the December sitting (which is the score that I am aiming for). I have been stressing myself and have had several breakdowns. The one thing that stresses me the most is that this will be my third time writing the LSAT (the first two times, I did absolutely terrible and was so not ready).

I am applying to Canadian schools in Ontario, and know that I will be at a relatively disadvantage if I will write the February LSAT. However, after reading everyone's recommendations on this thread, I think it would be much wiser to not write it in December as I do not want to get a low score and ruin all of my future chances.

But if I would be in your position, I would write both the December and the February test.

A very valuable advice to keep in mind throughout the preparation. Thank you so much for this!

We are on the same page then!! Today was one of those days that I spent thinking if I had enough time to get ready for the December LSAT or not, and what were my consequences of not getting ready for the LSAT lol. It stresses me out so much!?
