@ that's a really interesting take on it! Can't say I've heard it be done quite like that before. I am curious though - how many Qs were you missing on average before you used that strategy intense review before looking at Qs? RC is definitely my worst section and I'm averaging around -5 to -7 but would like to get it down to -2 or 3 by the September test. I usually BR at that level so I guess I'm wondering if that strategy helped you to be quicker at identifying passage structure and argumentation and all that good stuff?

This might be a dumb question but what does "AA" stand for in "AA URM"?

Yeah, I plan on emailing them tonight - I just don't even know what to expect/if I should ask for something in particular from them.

I have severe narcolepsy which classifies as a physical disability. I had accommodated testing in high school and college and all the appropriate medical documentation, so it wasn't too hard to get approved.

WTF. Proctor got the time wrong!?

So I have accommodations (time and a half - 53 minutes per section) and just finished the test a little while ago. Something weird as hell happened... The proctor was timing us (me and one other person) incorrectly!

I had the bezel on my watch set to the minute hand when we started and at minute 43, the protcor said 5 minutes remaining and I was like ??? but thought maybe I messed up my watch or something so I just accepted I had 5 minutes left and finished the first section accordingly. At the end of section 1, I thought about saying something but stupid me fell victim to authority worship and assumed that I was in the wrong and didn't say anything in the very short time we had before moving to section 2.

Now it's minute 43 in section 2 and once again, proctor calls 5 minute warning. At this point, I know I'm not wrong and she definitely messed up somehow so I push past my initial outrage/disbelief and keep moving with 5 minutes left. As soon as she calls time for section 2, I immediately tell her that I'm almost entirely certain we didn't get the appropriate time for the last 2 sections. After brief discussion, she says that she knows what time we started and if by the end of section 3, the time isn't adding up, she'll give us that time back at the end.

Lo and behold, we finish section 3 (this time after the full 53 minutes) and at the break, she realizes I was right and that we were gypped of 5 minutes from both section 1 and 2. She talked to the supervisor and did allow us to go back to each section for 5 minutes once we had finished the test but before the essay.

Obviously, that whole fuck up threw off my mental game and presumably negatively affected my score. Not to mention that section 2 was RC so those 5 minutes weren't nearly as useful at the end because I had to waste time skimming a passage again because I naturally forgot some of the details after a few hours.

I figure I should email LSAC about this whole situation but I was wondering if any of you have had something similar happen and if so, what did you do about it? I'm not sure what LSAC could do aside from maybe a refund of the registration fee. Tbh I'm not even sure what I want them to do about it.

Any advice or input on my situation would be very much appreciated!

@ said:

It took me three takes to get to 170 and I was admitted into my top choice, T10 law school.

What were your scores leading up to the 170? And over how long of a period of time did you get those 3 scores? Also, did you attach an addendum to your application to explain the multiple takes/score difference?

Sorry for all the questions, but I'm very curious to hear about your LSAT journey to the mystical 170 haha

I assume it would be both sections of LR from the PT since there was no specific section stated.. is that correct?

Wow, same. Today is also my last day working full-time and I'm anxious/excited to get into studying full-time. #twins haha

I'm definitely down to be part of an accountability study group! I haven't quite worked out what my daily schedule is because I've been too swamped with trying to wrap up everything at work. This thread has some great ideas though and I'm stoked to get going!
