With a little less that a month to go until the January LSAT I am wondering how much people tend to increase their scores during the final month of study. Right now I typically am PTing about 164 with my highest being a 167. I am shooting for a 170. I know I have the ability to do it and I just need to really commit and set my mind to it. I have taken off work for the first few weeks of January so that I will be able to solely focus on the LSAT during that time and with working from home at the moment I still have a decent amount of time to study throughout the end of the year.

I'd love to hear about people's experiences during that final month of study and what their actual score was compared to what they were PTing a month prior.

Thanks and good luck to all.

How tough is it to get a full ride?

I graduated in 2019 with a 3.9 GPA and just got a 162 on my first timed practice test, have been studying for a couple weeks but haven't gotten to the reading comprehension or logic games section of the core curriculum yet. I got a -10 on the LG section and I know that is typically the easiest area to improve so I think I should be able to pick up some easy points there. My target is a 170+

I am currently working full time and I find it pretty tough to go from a solid income to having to take out loans to go to law school, but if I got a full ride I would definitely consider it.

Does anyone have any guesses as to what type of scholarships these numbers could land? The soonest I can take the LSAT would be January. I am assuming it would be pretty tough to get scholarships that late in the cycle? I am willing to wait until the Fall 2022 cycle if that means a higher likelihood of a full ride to a decent school.

Thank you in advance for the advice.

This is a pretty basic question but I have been unable to find a clear answer online.

What is the format of a standard LSAT? All the practice tests on here are 4 sections. Is that standard? I know this has changed with the new FLEX test which is only 3 sections but the January test looks like it will switch back to a standard LSAT format.

I have also seen things online about 6 section exams or 5 section exams... and have heard of an 'experimental section' being in exams. Is this 'experimental section' scored? Do you know it is the 'experimental section' when you take it?

I am also curious on the timing aspect? Is there any break between sections? I would assume so since you have 35 minutes per section and I do not believe you can go back to a prior section if you finish a later section early. How long is the break between each section? I have seen info on a 15 minute break between section 3 and 4 but that is it. If it were a 4 section test I would expect the break to be between 2 and 3?

I apologize if any of this was hard to follow, just wanted to lay all my thoughts out there.

I'd love to have a better idea of exactly what the format of the standard LSAT is to make sure I am preparing properly.

Thank you in advance.
