Any pointers on how to draft a good LOCI especially when your score is below their median? And would anyone be so kind to review mine?

If so, can you ask after your app has been submitted?
Would love to get as much feedback as possible :)
If so, did you do early decision, were you above, at, or below the avg GPA and LSAT?
Looking to apply in the next 2 weeks, any help is duly appreciated. I am a first gen student with not much guidance. :)
Timed practice sets can be found by hovering over LSAT QUESTIONS to the top middle and clicking on Problem Sets
I've taken the LSAT 4 times now, 144, 159, 159, and I just got my August LSAT with a 156. What doesn't make sense? My PTs were always 170s. I don't want to take this test again, I can't put myself through that stress again. I graduated undergrad in 2017, and had to take some time off for financial and health reasons, I really want to start this cycle. My GPA wasn't that great, 3.4. I was aiming at UNC and University of Texas at Austin but obviously I am far below their median this time. Should I even apply? How is it viewed when you get even lower points on a test you've already taken 3x? Is it even realistic to apply to schools whos median is far above our scores?
I felt the same, until I realized the fear of the unknown is even worse. You wouldn't want to dive into an ocean without proper gear would you? The PT is your gear, the ocean is the LSAT. Only by doing PTs will you understand what your strengths and weaknesses are. Do not view the PT score as your final score, it is a stepping stone TO your final goal. Take them, relax, review, repeat! You got this!!!
As someone who took both the April and June flexes, I can certainly say the tests are closer to the 60s or 70s than the 80s
To help with stamina I take the full 4 sections on every PT, the difference between my scores with a 3 section or a 4 section is only 1 point.
The 4 section test allows for 1 section to be experimental, and that 1 section can be anything, LG, LR, or RC. Therefore it is best to practice a full 4 section test.
Why? When you can just print them
Man you have got to let this question go...I promise you it won't hurt you
SKIP HARD QUESTIONS. Even if it's question 1, if you can't understand a word within a few moments of reading it just skip it. Flag them, come back after you have CONFIDENTLY answered everything you can. Track and see what TYPES of questions you are getting wrong consistently. Do NOT dread how many questions are in the test, just think of them at levelling up and keep going at them, don't get tired in the middle of the section, it catches up to your brain reaaaal quick.
I read C to say "nuclear plants are safe only because if they weren't safe they would be sued and go bankrupt and the government is stepping in to save their butts so they don't go bankrupt BUT the government doing that isn't really addressing the fact that the nuclear plants are STILL unsafe"
Hey what is myLSN? I looked at the website and do not know how to make sense of the graphs.
Hey guys, is the August test going to be 3 sections scored and 1 section experimental now? Are you practicing with the 4 sections test? How are you scoring it?
I got a 159. Same as my April score. I got a 144 my first time in Sept of 2018. This is my 3rd attempt and I seriously do not want to retest. My PTs were 166-170 consistently so I am not sure what happened. I am only looking to get into UNC, their median is 165 or higher with this cycle. I am frustrated, any advice on retaking or what my chances would be?
Has anyone applied, what score got you in, how are scholarships, anyone on campus? What is the culture like?
Try doing an entire day of Flaw questions, by that time you will see the consistency with the common flaws they use.
No you can only make an argument for one or the other
Hey, I did a bunch of super hard LG sets to the point of where I have them all down now, and rarely miss a question. BUT, now I miss a few points on the super simple ones LOL. I would say do a mix of both.
Go to the Lawhub on LSAC and take tests there, they look exactly like the actual test.
Interested!!
