Hi there,

I'm in a very similar position and scoring range. I'm sure you find it overwhelming, as I do, reading through these sections where people went from 150s to 170s in a matter of months. Very impressive increases, and certainly motivating, but trust me those are the outlier. Most people are scoring like us (or just slightly higher). But I think this shows that hard work shines, and most people don't see these increases because they simply don't put in the necessary time (obviously not taking into account external factors).

In my opinion, you need your LSAT score to stand as tall as possible. In terms of getting into law school, your score is the exclamation mark at the end of your other achievements. Your score is what's going to leave the lasting impression. This is what's going to open the most doors in terms of scholarships. You need to fight for every last point, because your score is basically all that matters. Regardless of what school you're trying to go to, you should be aiming for the highest score possible, given your time and overall ability. Again, MY OPINION :)

I don't think "just wanting to go to a law school" is the best mentality. Why do you want to go to law school? Might be a dreadful question, I know, but you have to be honest with yourself...

Sorry if all of this sounded like a vent haha. Maybe this is just me projecting.... Best of luck!

Q6: I looked at lines 43-45, which clearly describes the author's attitude towards Schoenburg's three styles and its progressions: "his music became more condensed, more violet in its contrasts, and therefore more difficult to follow."

I took this to mean that the relationship was not natural, but I realize that "inexplicable" is too strong of a descriptor. :/

The content of this question is difficult to grasp and the correct answer choice is somewhat well hidden, but the other answer choices are really bad so process-of-elimination was the saving grace.
