hey guys. im writing my personal statement and completed my draft.

however, one thing im worried about is the fact that my ps is reading more like "i had these weaknesses--> i reflected on them --> i had a realization and my mindset changed." im afraid that there is a general "lack of action" theme.

im esp concerned about this because of my background (american citizen graduating w a foreign law degree + community college credits) and i feel there is more expected from me. additionally, i also wrote about really small achievements (although that led to my mindset changing). i did show some of my legal thinking though.

do you guys think its ok to have a little bit more of a philosophical personal statement?

hello. I took the lsat today and I’m rlly disappointed in myself. While my strategy improved (I had 2-5 mins to review my answers), i felt that I didn’t perform up to my potential of 155-160 (got a 162 br in last pt). I worked so hard and saw so much improvement that I’ve never seen in myself before in these past couple of months. And it’s now all down the drain— I never had this feeling of not performing up to my potential after a test before. I did not even feel this way in my last two attempts (which I admitted to myself they were a complete disaster. No concept of time management). I tried to relax and restore my confidence which worked for me in the second half of the test. But I feel that I’ll get the same 149 score as before and that I failed at reaching my potential. I was hoping to apply now with my Jan lsat score.

Is it normal for anyone to feel this way?

hey guys. just curious here--im wondering if anyone else like to read a chapter of a book etc before they do lsat practice, esp rc? when i was studying for the lsat i found that doing this beforehand helped me warm up when practicing rc. is this the same case for anyone else?

im retaking the lsat tomorrow and i haven't done any intense drilling today, just review of some concepts i struggle with. i read a bit of non fiction etc to help me prepare for dissecting tomorrow's rc passages. im mainly trying to relax today while also getting ready for tomorrow lol

Feeling really frusturated, here is my most recent LSAT score result. I need to at least a 160. The Blind Review shows that i KNOW im around 160s knowledge and i am beyond my goal score (i had a diagnostic score of 137!!) its just NOT translating in my raw score. I need to close the blind review LSAT gap before January 10th, but I literally don't know what to do. I have improved timing and pacing wise, as that was previously a huge issue.

Reading Comprehension is my weakest section. I changed my technique after this LSAT score to read structurally and literally, as I was previously reading for content. However, I took a RC Timed Section today and still got -14!!! I keep consistently falling for trap answers!! I have no idea what to do, or if its even possible to close this blind review gap. I am trying so hard, I have the knowledge of a 160+ scorer but its not translating. Please give me your tips and tricks to close this huge gap? And how else should I do my blind review to close the gap?

thank you all so much in advance.

Firstly, I am proud of my blind review score; I have never recieved a BR score as low as this before (as a 148 scorer). I actually understand the content and my drills now!...but timing always holds me back! I know I can do this and I have potential, but I'm always rushing in LR, and I am panic answering questions by the end of RC. I literally don't know how to pace myself effectively, I've tried dividing time, flagging questions, pacing myself etc. The main issue with LR especially is that i KNOW how to figure out the answer, I just quite literally don't have the time to map out the whole question to answer a CondR question. I don't know what to do! Please give tips. I want to reach around the 160s.

I previously had most of my LR priority drills flagged as "highest priority". Been weeding out my problem areas one by one, started with Inference/MBT because its my weakest drill and I have the lowest accuracy. Suddenly, my stats changed...most of my drills have now dropped to low priority. Is this a sign of improvement? Or is there a glitch. I still have some high/highest priority topics.
