What is more likely? Tomorrow release, or the day after?
first time I had LG-LR-RC BREAK RC-LR, my worst nightmare
I had LR-RC-LR BREAK LR-LG
I'm not finished with mine yet but I'd be happy to review yours!
Your three-sentence biography.
I am a 20 year college student. I am finishing my BA in 3 years and hope to go to law school in NYC. I took both the June and September LSAT and plan on applying as soon as I get the September score.
Your biggest worry about your application.
I think I have good "softs" but I am worried about my LSAT and GPA being competitive enough at my top schools.
Two ideas for your personal statement.
I would like to write about my summer internship in a court.
Did you attend last time? Did I get to you? No

JUNE 2016
Proctors: One was a nice professor. He was strict but not intense. He had a somewhat calming presence and an accent. The second proctor (she mainly floated around the room, didn't read aloud) made many noises throughout the test, ate very loudly while we were working.
Facilities: Huge building with lots of parking. Inside is very clean and there are restrooms everywhere. Also, there are vending machines and couches, which was nice during the break. There's a Dunkin Donuts at the entrance, as well. The building is a little bit like a maze, but all staff is friendly and helpful.
What kind of room: Standard high school classroom but with large desks.
How many in the room: 4 people. I heard there were others with around 10, though. Each classroom had about 35 desks, so we were pretty spread out
Desks: Really big but attached to the chairs, which was annoying.
Left-handed accommodation: N/A
Noise levels: My room was directly across from the public safety desk, so we heard walkie talkies BLEEPing the whole time.
Parking: There is a large parking garage directly next to the building.
Time elapsed from arrival to test: about 5 hours including waiting in line but not sure
Irregularities or mishaps: None
Other comments: I chose to drive home from college (5ish hours) to take it here again! Had an even better experience my second time.
Would you take the test here again? Yes, and I did.
Date[s] of Exam[s]: June 6, 2016

Was the chess LR in the experimental or real?
I wish I had started keeping track sooner! I am testing on Saturday!
I've noticed that I have been getting some questions wrong based on the vocabulary used in questions or answers. Does anyone know of a list of commonly used advanced vocab words that I can study? I just took PT19 and "erroneous" made me pick the wrong answer. Thanks! (I am a native english speaker, just neglected to learn SAT vocab in 11th grade)

Are you studying for September?
Wow! I am amazed that so many people took the time to answer my post! Thank you all so much! I now see that I was thinking more along the lines of a personal statement. It seems as though "diversity" is more tightly defined for admissions than I had thought. I will most likely not be writing a diversity statement, after reading your comments. Thanks again.
I am a 20 years old and am graduating a full year early from college. I interned this summer in the New York State Supreme Court and am studying to take my second LSAT. I have spent my whole life working to get into law school- I can't remember a time when I didn't want to become a lawyer. I participate in Student Senate, Mock trial, and am President of the Pre-Law club. I also hold 3 part time jobs while at school.
I worry about my GPA- having taken 4 years of classes in 3 years forced me to take many difficult classes at once, which made me not do as well as I had hoped.
One idea for my personal statement is my traumatic brain injury and how it lead me to become certified as a 200-hour yoga instructor. It changed me from a very type-A personality to a more mindful person. Another idea is the two sides of my family history. My maternal grandfather had three ivy league degrees and was the chairman of a huge mutual fund in NYC. My mother grew up in a rich white suburb and has an associates degree. My paternal grandfather was a dutch sailor who left home at 13 to sail to America. My father grew up in a poor city, where he joined the police department directly from HS. I think that growing up with such differing perspectives shaped me in an interesting way.
Thanks so much! @ngir1293288 I actually started doing yoga due to my medical condition! The idea to mix them is great- I'm going to try to do that.

What helped me improve was pretending I was very interested in the content. I am constantly asking myself questions in my head whilst reading, even if I don't actually care in real life. For example, if the section is about medieval art, for those 8 minutes, I mentally pretend medieval art is my passion. I want to know everything there is to know about medieval art. This active reading helps me retain the information better.
I listed to one that contained 180 LSAT tips. Some were helpful but many contradict each other so you have to be self-aware enough to decide which would work for you. Its pretty inexpensive on the iTunes store. "Let's LSAT: 180 tips from 180 students on how to score a 180 on the LSAT"

Sorry if this is dumb, but why is this test not numbered like the others? Is it special in some way?
It means it's blank, you can look at your answer sheet and contact them if it's wrong
