After every LSAT there's people who say it was unusually hard, while there's also some who think it was easier. I think it's really more of a mental thing/test day anxiety or just where one's strengths and weaknesses lie. Stay confident throughout the test and don't get hung up on it.
Either way the tests are weighted, so if it's slightly easier than past tests the score will be weighted to reflect that. And same for if it's slightly harder.
Roughly 95% of LSAT test takers score under 170. You're not stupid.
Kind of a logical flaw type problem; you probably see a lot of posts like that because they're more willing to post their score than others who score lower.
Just work hard & focus on yourself & ignore others' scores. It'll just make you more anxious & be a roadblock to your own growth & progress.
I can't believe I haven't watched these fast track videos sooner, insanely helpful
Highly dependent on what school(s), your stats, etc. Here's the best way I've found to analyze that:
Go on lsd.law and click on "Admissions Predictor" on the left sidebar (it's at the top, under pinned).
Input your LSAT and GPA. If you don't have an official LSAT score yet, input what you've been testing at lately.
Then select a school.
On the right side, you'll see a graph titled "Probability at Decision Time." Assuming 4-6 weeks to process your application, look 4-6 weeks ahead of when you plan to apply.
That'll give you a rough idea of where you stand. LSD Law has tons of great resources like this too.
@Stacmay I agree with this everything in this comment and it's very similar to my personal experience as well.
I think it's better to continue studying in case you want to retake it after seeing your score (even if you end up not), than to wait for the score to be released and realize you could have been utilizing those 3-4 weeks. There's really no harm in studying and not needing to take it, but it sucks if you don't study and then need to retake it. Especially if you're aiming to apply for this application cycle as most are, since you want to be as early as possible.
Identify where you struggled during the exam (LR, RC, certain question types, timing, etc) and focus on that, but also continue working on the things you were working on before the exam.
Agreed, I keep forgetting which classes I've watched & which ones I haven't, and manually keeping track is tedious. There should be a checkbox or icon to select next to the bookmark that marks the classes as "done." Would love for this to be updated soon as the classes have been an amazing resource for me.
Something like 20% of law students are 30+, so definitely don't worry about age being a limiting factor. If anything, it will help you, as you have not only work experience (which law schools like to see) but additional maturity and life experience that will benefit you as you build your application and throughout law school.
Also definitely don't feel pressure to rush it. One additional year feels long in the moment but whether you practice law for 40 years or 41 years, or start as a lawyer when you're 30 vs 31 doesn't matter in the long run. You can only take the LSAT 5x in 5 years (7 in your lifetime) so typical advice is to not take the test unless you're scoring where you'd like to. Either way, turn whatever pressure you feel into motivation and be open to ride waves as they come. If you end up having to wait until next cycle, don't be discouraged, see it as an opportunity to hone your LSAT skills and improve your application however you can.
Few things you should consider/look into:
1.) Check out the website LSD(dot)law to see detailed breakdowns of everything you can possibly imagine as far as law school admissions. The data is self-submitted by applicants so it's not 100% representative, but it's the closest data we've got. I specifically recommend the "Admissions Predictions" tab (you can input any GPA & LSAT and see your probability of being accepted/waitlisted/rejected at any law school depending on the time in the cycle (Oct-Aug)), and searching schools to see 1) the GPA & LSAT graph that shows admitted/waitlisted/rejected and 2) scroll down and click on the tab that says scholarships. Speaking of...
2.) Consider whether you need a scholarship or a certain percent covered in order to accept an offer of admission, or if you'd accept an offer with $0 in scholarship. It can help you gauge whether you need a higher LSAT score than just admission worthy (you can see what students with your same stats are getting in scholarships on LSD at any school) or if you're willing to attend T50 schools where the same LSAT will generate higher scholarships and will have a higher chance of being accepted. All in all, consider all the various scenarios and what you prioritize (school rank, scholarship/debt amount, this cycle vs waiting a year, how much you're willing to invest in LSAT prep/tutors, etc) as that will guide you for what the best choice is for you.
@PowerUp_Tutoring I also couldn't find it by searching but if you search 7sage, click on their "7Sage LSAT" app, and scroll down to more apps by 7sage, it's listed there.
Thank you 7sage!! I already did a quick play through and this is exactly the kind of app I've been hoping for.
Y'all have put in incredible effort expanding and improving your site and services just in the last year since I started studying. Makes me feel like y'all truly care about the user experience. Love to see it.
Thank you 7sage! Would love to see more visual aids like this added where it's possible.
I did the full curriculum last year and the improvements since have been massive and very beneficial.
I think the main value for me is in the note taking process and seeing the patterns that come up, but it's helpful to have if I need to review or if I get a tutor, as they can review it for patterns in my errors too.
I would use the notes feature on here more often if I could access all the notes in a single tab (like a Notes page under Analytics or something) instead of them embedded in the question only. For now I use a Google Sheets document but it'd be more helpful having the question information right there to see like on here.
@GRyan Strongly agree with this. The live class recordings have a lot of potential for upgrades; especially by linking specific Qs to classes but also simply being able to keep track of what you've already watched. The classes are incredibly helpful for more advanced students who often get to a plateau. I wish I had found them sooner!
