do you have to include how your personal statement coincides with wanting to go to law school or why you would be a good lawyer?
I took the LSAT in September and scored almost 10 points below my average. That said, I got right back on the horse and continued to study so I can redeem myself this Saturday. I got back the September exam through the LSAC portal and I am wondering if people think it would be beneficial to retake the September test or go over some sections this week? Or would it just bring back bad memories and ruin my mojo??
Just try to relax and be confident in yourself! This will also be my second time taking the LSAT and I have improved so much since September, you just need to trust yourself and know that one bad PT is not reflective of your overall performance!
Make sure you note the author's main argument, what is the author's opinion about the subject thats being written about. If you understand the author's attitude, perspective, and argument these questions should be quite simple. Hope this helps!
I just got my scores back from the September lsat and scored eight points below my average PTs. Could this be a fluke? I did have trouble bubbling in my answers on time. Does anyone know if we can request a copy our of exam with the scantron sheet?
Also, I am applying to law school for the Fall of 2018. Would it be too late to apply in November? Do I still have a shot at getting into schools?
If I won't be able to complete all the PT's before my test date which ones should I focus on the most?
I went through the exact same situation with almost identical scores. But now each practice test I've taken I have gone up. Now I am up to a 156. My advice to you would be to take breaks studying. There is no need to devote 6-8 hours a day especially since you've been studying since April 15. Take it day by day and don't feel pressured to study all the time. I've noticed that the more laid back I am while taking the test the better I do. Try not to dwell on an answer and be confident in your own. I think if you clear your head and study a little less (although it sounds crazy) you will actually be more relaxed, more confident in yourself, and be able to score higher. Hope this helps!
I would write about your age in your personal statement. It's extremely unique and could be a great story while showcasing your strengths as a student.
Are the conversion charts at the end of each PT the same for every test? Or are they adjusted for the curve for that particular test. For instance, I got a 68 on PT 37 which translates to a 156 according to the conversion chart. However, I checked the score with another converter online and a 68 was a 159.
Anyone know which one would be right?
The question and answer period was very helpful! Thanks.

There are definitely similarities. At their core, both sections are just asking you 1) what did you read? and 2) how well did you understand it?
So far I have completed the RC problem sets with getting at most one wrong. Also pretending to be interested in all passages helps tremendously with my understanding of them.
Does anyone else feel like RC are just like extended LR questions? I've been using the same techniques for RC as I did for LR and it seems to be working out really well. I find it helpful to approach questions this way.
does anyone else find that they do worse on LR practice problems from tests before 2001? I find myself struggling with old problems more, particularly the vocabulary.
THANK YOU!!! life saver bless you
I am trying to do the main point and main conclusion questions problem set number 1. However, when I click on any of the problems set (1-3) nothing happens. Also, I am unable to adjust the speed on the videos. Is this problem happening to anyone else? Or could it just be my computer glitching?
i would defer for a year and then do part time so you have time to adjust to your work schedule and environment
