Ugghhhh stop toying with my emotions people!!!

Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong, but I was under the impression that the Credential Assembly Service included your letters of recommendation in the file they send to each of the schools to which you're applying. My understanding, just based on a quick read through of the process, was that you send them a general letter and they will then send copies of it out on your behalf.

Primal Fear, The Rainmaker, A Time to Kill, Devil's Advocate.....man so many good ones!!!

Here's my personal experience regarding RC and JY's videos. On my initial diagnostic and the two PTs after it I was scoring -6 or -8 on RC. After working through the curriculum and watching JY do the RC passages, paying attention to what kinds of things he was looking for, the annotations he made, and how he applied these things when answering questions, my RC results improved to -1 or -2 consistently. For the last month or so, though, I've been completely focused on LGs to the exclusion of really practicing RC. I haven't watched the RC explanations after BRing, or at all actually, and my on my last two PTs my RC has dropped back to -4 and -8. Now I can't say with 100% certainty that this is a result of not watching the explanations, but I do know that when I was doing RC passages about a month ago I felt much more comfortable and directed, and anticipating the questions came much more naturally for me. I would recommend spending a week or two drilling RC passages and watching the entire explanation after BRing. At the end of that time, see if your score has increased substantially. If so, keep doing one or two a day for practice. If not, try working through the RC portion of The Trainer or try another method to see what works for you. Good luck!

To clarify the above comment,on the LSAT assumptions will never be explicitly stated. Any premise, conclusion, or contextual information that is explicitly stated in the stimulus is a claim.

I'm in the same boat. I felt super foggy throughout the first two sections on Saturday and I panicked. It wasn't until after the break that I was able to get it together. Barring a miracle, I'm delaying until June. I feel like February is just too quick of a turnaround to address whatever issues led me to underperform after six months of prep. I also don't want to apply at the very end of the cycle, and I figure with the extra time I'll likely be able to raise my score couple more points to give myself more of a cushion for next time. The last thing I wanted to do was delay law school for another year, since I'm an older student. But my priority number one is getting the best legal education I possibly can, which I won't be able to do if I limit options with a sub-par LSAT score. I'm also considering pursuing a master's with that extra year. I realize that's not an option for everyone due to time and financial considerations, but if it's something you're able to and interested in doing, it will increase the appeal of your application and your earnings potential when you finish law school. Between that and your improved LSAT score your application would be considerably stronger.

Congrats!!!

Hey guys, I just took the test but now I've got 9 months to kill before law school so if anyone is looking for a study buddy in the Dallas area, I'd be happy work with you! My strongest sections are RC and LR and my score was a 175. I can help with BR, fundamentals, or specific question-types that are giving you problems. Just send me a DM!

My best blind review is 176 so my goal is to match that on test day. Georgetown or GWU!
