I scored about 10-13 points lower than I had been PTing — I felt like I bombed RC but I don’t think I messed anything else up that majorly. I’m tempted to have my test hand scored but wondering if other think I should just accept that maybe I messed up and retake for free? I knew I wasn’t as prepared as I could have been and I approached it as practice given the option to retake for free - but I wasn’t expecting such a low score. Thoughts?
Anyone else feel pummeled by the RC section? I had to guess on pretty much every question from the last passage (ran out of time) and didn't feel great about my answers to the others. My brain was totally fried by the time we got to section 5. Wondering if others experienced this or if I just need to work on RC???
Good luck everyone!! Can’t believe it’s finally here. Deep breaths...
HI All - just stumbled across this thread. I am taking the July LSAT and plan to apply to schools beginning in October. Do you think it's too late to sign up for Comprehensive Consulting? I am pretty much 80% dedicated to studying outside of work right now so I don't think there's much room to focus on applications until mid-July once I've take the LSAT. Thoughts??
@cvo1879 I would consider the cost of cancelling the trip (no refund) versus the cost of retaking the LSAT in October or December if you're not happy with your score...If you're applying next cycle I think most schools will still accept December scores. You could also squeeze in a few PTs and other drills in transit (long flights = great time to force yourself to study) to make the most of your time off from work. As you and others have said, it really depends on how prepared you feel.
Thanks everyone - helpful insights.
@yafrcho580 that's a good idea that I hadn't considered. Definitely worth thinking about.
@anthonyserifsoy171 My plan is to do about 2 PTs a week (on the weekends) and really focus on BR in between, then seeing how I'm progressing I'll try and drill the question types that seem to be tripping me up, doing as many of the most difficult. My plan is to look at October as the real deal depending on my score. By the time we get July scores it will be too late to register for September. Happy to talk more strategy with you separately...
@jasminesade220 that's my sense as well - I have tentatively blocked 3 days and then 2 days in the two weeks prior, but I might split that up further based on @yafrcho580 's advice.
Just curious - are any of you planning to apply to schools in October? I'm struggling to start writing my essay while I'm so focused on studying...
Hi All, I'm planning to take the July LSAT (haven't registered yet) and I'm looking for advice in terms of making the most of the time I have left. I've been studying (somewhat casually) since December and really buckled down about two weeks ago. I work full time and I am planning to take five days off to focus on PTs and review before July 15, but not sure if the week before I write the exam would be the best choice. Should I take the week of July 1 off? A week in June? Split it up to 3 days in June, 2 in July?
I've done a few PTs and will be done with the core curriculum in about a week. My plan is to see how I do in July and then take it again in October (since we can cancel and retake for free with July). Thanks for any advice!
Hi Guys - long shot here, but is anyone familiar with the vouchers we got from taking the July test if we cancelled? I am in a similar boat (I actually scored a 146 in July after PTing in the 157-162 range). I was so discouraged by the low score, and hadn't totally made my mind up about law school in the first place (the july cancel/retake voucher was appealing to me) that I couldn't bring myself to start studying again. I'm considering it now - but I can't find the voucher anywhere. Thoughts?
