LSAT · Official February 2018 LSAT Waiting Thread

Thursday, Mar 08 2018

Received my Feb LSAT result, and am happy with a 7-point improvement over December, just 1 point below my PT average (and a roughly 20% rank improvement). I discovered 7Sage around Christmas time, and blew through the CC in January just in time for the Feb re-write. Sure wish I had started with this course when I began studying in September/October. Better late than never. Also received my first acceptance (based on the old score) the previous day, and am hopeful for more offers after schools receive the Feb score. Thanks 7Sage. I am officially done with the LSAT :smile:

36 years old here, applying after 15 years in the music business (what is left of it anyway!). Do any schools accept the June LSAT for this year's admissions cycle? Quick word of advice: it's been many years since you finished your undergrad and last wrote an exam - as it was for me this past December - I wouldn't underestimate the shock to the system the LSAT will/could be (despite being well prepared I thought, the stress of exam day sort of caught me off guard). I re-wrote last week, and felt infinitely better, having reacclimatized my system to the nerves of a real exam environment. Good luck to you, it's certainly a unique but exciting challenge applying to school later in life :-)

HI!! Me too! Music industry here, I work at a label. :) Been in the industry for a little over 10 years, but yeah... it is rough out there. I’ve been lucky to survive many rounds of lay offs. :-/

Does anyone else feel incapable of relaxing post exam. Almost like studying separation anxiety lol

YES. Me too. This exam is so unlike normal exams, in that the euphoric sense of relief you expect and look forward to.... is somewhat elusive! Also I think it's hard to truly relax knowing you have the agonizing wait before the score is released.

I think if you are asking this question now, you should probably delay (and I think deep down you probably feel the same way?). Even if you hit your recent PT averages, that is really borderline for entrance into any Canadian school, let alone the Ontario schools you listed. The LSAT is so much a psychological test... if you aren't fairly confident going in, and scoring roughly where you want, I can't imagine things turning out well. I say this as a fellow Canadian applicant, who under-performed on my last exam, and am re-writing tomorrow. I'm anxious and terrified enough as it is, and I have been PT-ing in the range I want and need to be over the past month. Whatever you decide, best of luck!

I don't mind this policy. I wrote the December exam, and left my phone at home. It wasn't a big deal. Then again, I went through my entire undergrad pre-iPhone era, so I remember the days when we had to plan things ahead ;-) I don't think the policy is outdated at all, if anything, it's more relevant now than ever before. If they didn't have this policy, someone's phone would inevitably go off in the testing room. I can't remember the last concert I played/attended, where this didn't happen. Bring a quarter for a phone call, cash for a cab, or write down bus directions to get home. It'll be okay. And good luck Saturday!
