Hey All,
I have a M.S. I'm Chem. I've discovered new, exciting nanoparticle materials and written and published a thesis (pretty much a book- but not pursuing this in any way right now). I have 5+ years teaching at a nice university.
My undergrad GPA is only 2.8- which is higher than the Chem undergrad average. My grad GPA (which doesn't seem to be too relevant here is 3.7).
I registered for the Feb 10th LSAT and have spent 10 days studying. I've taken 3 practice tests under simulated testing conditions and gotten 159, 159, 160. I miss about half + of the logic games questions currently. Do I need to hold off and not take the test this Saturday or is it okay to go ahead with the test with these practice test scores? Additionally, I'm over 30 and I do want a J.D. and to practice. Your insights are appreciated.
I didn't respond till now because I was preparing to go abroad and trying to prep as much as possible prior to the Feb 10th test. Also I woke up sick at 3am on the Wednesday before the test. I went ahead and took the LSAT. I got a 160, 80th percentile. Like I said, I've been in academia (and sports) for a pretty long time and I've had to learn how to learn. I considered all of your comments, and was very close to not taking the test- especially due to sickness and fear of losing a couple points due to that.
I also considered that practice test scores might tend to be higher than actual scores due to testing conditions, etc.
In the last few days leading up to the test, I could tell that I was getting better consistently. Even as I took the test, I felt I was still improving actually.
So now that I've taken the test, I feel that the outcome is about as good as possible considering the limited prep, etc. I'm happy, and satisfied with the outcome- but also I want more want a 170!
I'm going to go ahead and apply for Fall 2018 at schools that are still open to see if I can get any decent offers. Thanks for the advice, I pushed very hard in that short time for the score.
