Got my score, 2nd time taking it, 6 point jump!

It really only makes sense for schools to care about the stats (Lsat, gpa) of their prospective students, since it's what they must report. I think in most cases acceptance is a pure numbers game, although I'm sure it's a plus to have a prestigious undergraduate record.

Yep, skipped this one under time

I live in Indiana and IU would be a good option, Bloomington is a nice little town. At least for me, no debt = peace of mind

If the schools are about the same, I would take the FR

As far as I'm concerned, this is High Art

@hogan1081205 Formal Scheduling Squad checking in

@mariecavery809 David Killoran is saying -11

@ata9144688 I don't remember a question about that.

Better Call Saul

@10291 Yeah totally, same here. I was certain the last RC was experimental, just due to the fact that P1 had was lengthy and had a ton of detail + some weird grammar, oh well. Probably spend all my intellectual power on the first RC lol.

@giordanifabiano473 lol yeah, I nope'ed the hell right outta game 3, thankfully game 4 was much easier, had some time after to brute force answers.

Overall I would say the test was "easier" for me compared to January.

I had LR, RC, LG, LR, RC - The first RC section was about normal, the last RC section was very difficult for me (Women's rights, Argentina etc. - I think it was real). I thought LG was easy, except the Quandryville and Pleasantville game gave me pause. It seems they had to make up for easy LG with hard RC. I thought both LR sections were easy to medium.

Cheers!

Assuming I start in the fall of 2020, I will be 24. I wouldn't feel behind, it's good to have working experience, it can help establish savings and a greater financial footing compared to people straight out of undergrad who may not. You got working experience so you know with a greater certainty that law school was the right path. I think its good to take some time off between undergrad and higher education to gain experience and further ask yourself if you truly desire to go back to school.

I would say to spend the majority of your time mastering LR question types in the CC and developing your LR section strategy. Also, I would begin the Fool Proofing process for LG. I wouldn't worry too much about RC until you have a solid understanding of LR and a competitive LG score range

I live in Indiana, ND will give you connections in big law around the region, particularly in Chicago.

I'm PTing in the same range, my LR scores are also typically around -7. Something I have started doing that has helped me improve to -6 or -5 is skipping questions earlier. It sounds simple, but I get stubborn sometimes and try to work through a tough question. Instead, I have found it helpful to eliminate one or two obvious wrong answer choices and then move on through the section and return on a second round. Since I also don't have any one question type that I continually miss, I just drill LR sections and practice my skipping strategy.

I hate questions like this

Here is a short motivational video that may serve as a "pick me up"

Although I haven't made it a habit, I like the "Waking Up" mediation app by Sam Harris.

@aman96sandhu869 Yes, I mark the RC passages by subjects and actions taken, this helps me engage with the passage and identify specific parts of the structure quickly if I need to return to the passage.

As for LR and LG I don't have anything special to say. I go back and forth on a good strategy for LR and I still struggle to finish the 4th game on LG. I usually focus on 3 games for 100% accuracy and do what I can with the rest of the time on the final game.

RC is a huge weakness for myself as well. One tip that I use which may help you achieve a better score is to only attempt 3 of the RC passages on the test. If you choose to focus on only 3 passages you can spend more time on each one and "prove out" answer choices / spend more time up front on understanding if you need to. Although I would love a super high score (170+) I'm perfectly fine with a 162-164. The catch is that you need to get nearly every question right on the 3 RC passages you choose to attempt. For the final passage I usually bubble D or whatever answers choice was picked least on the answer sheet, usually I pick up 1 extra question on the passage I didn't read.

This certainly isn't the end all be all for everyone, but it has helped me relax during RC and not worry about the clock.

I'm interested!
