Hi all. I wanted to write this post because I have struggled immensely with the LSAT for over a year. I have never struggled on an exam/anything school related so much in my life. I have always done very well in school and considered myself pretty smart but, most importantly, a very hard worker. With the LSAT I have worked very, very hard and truly given it my all and tried everything. I've taken it twice and both times, unfortunately, my score was much lower than my expectations & practice tests. It has been so frustrating to me to put in so much effort into something and not see the results of that labor.

The LSAT has challenged me tremendously and really affected my mental and physical health in ways that I have tried so hard to work through for years. All that being said, even though my scores have been disappointing, I'm proud of myself for giving it my all. I'll be studying for a few months and giving it one last shot but I've made a conscious decision not to go crazy over this exam. I will find another way to get into the schools I want, and wherever I end up it's where I'm meant to be.

As a first-generation college grad, immigrant, and low-income woman of color especially this exam has made me doubt myself in so many ways and doubt whether I am good enough to even go to law school. It is incredibly upsetting and unfair how much importance is given to the LSAT in the admissions process at top schools. In my opinion it is a way of gatekeeping certain kinds of students out and that is so unfair and angering.

YOU ARE MORE THAN THIS EXAM. Your LSAT score does not define you.

I first took the LSAT January 2020 and made a 161. I retook last month and only made a 163. I've devastated that I only increased 2 points after studying so hard while working full time which is extremely challenging. My average PT score leading up to the exam was a 168 so I'm especially disappointed and surprised by how little I improved. Not sure where to go from here.

Hi everyone! For the Flex, I know people use a phone camera during the check-in process to show what their computer looks like. Does anyone know whether I can use a small handheld mirror to do this instead?? Thank you!

Hi everyone. I'll be taking the LSAT Flex for the first time in a few days. I've read on here that proctors will interrupt if they cannot see your face in the camera. Are we able to see ourselves on our screens? How can I make sure my face is visible at all times? I'd like to avoid being interrupted. Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone! I have been studying for over a year and am preparing to take my second LSAT next month. I'm so proud of myself because I have improved about 14 points through self-study. I am now in the high 160s and have been here for about 3 months. I know I can improve but I've really struggled to make that final jump into the 170s. I'd love to hear advice from folks who have accomplished this. Thank you so much in advance for the help!!

Hi all! I'm looking for an RC tutor. I feel like this is the one section I cannot improve on despite almost a year of studying and I think I'd benefit from some help.
