Exactly two pages or less; unless you have done something extraordinary. Keep it concise, avoid redundancy, and follow directions.

Few things bother admissions officers more than applicants who disregard instructions, especially when your 2.5pg PS could've been 2pg with 10 minutes worth of editing.

@nzudrak518 thank you so much - I really couldn't figure it out but this makes so much more sense.

I have taken the FLEX twice - the first time I had just renovated my bedroom/office so there was only a folding plastic desk and a chair the second time it looked like a regular office but my desk and anything in sight was clear.

On another remote proctored exam I got sheets and towels and covered my bookcase and tv and anything that could remotely be viewed as a violation. I am going to be doing that again for this upcoming test.

@lindseyprobin754 Hey, first off congrats on getting a 163! I would apply now because you have a good LSAT but your GPA is on the lower end. Not to be a cynic but taking it again and waiting to apply, does not guarantee a better score, but it will guarantee that there are less available spots.

Short of scoring above 170, I do not see any benefit to waiting, and if you were to get a 170+ you should reconsider your reach/target schools anyway.

Goodluck!

Bravo 👏 Best of luck in Law School!

@sheridjw14 Thank you! When are you taking your test?

I definitely could’ve worked smarter - I spent a lot of time in the beginning just doing question sets and practice tests. I never finished the CC but I tried to go through it focusing on my weak areas.

My biggest regret is that I rarely used blind review and am going to do that going forward.

How was the loophole? I think I will get that.

Hi @danielbrowning20836 the CC when you take away a majority of the practice questions comes out to roughly 100hrs. Since you’ll presumably be taking a lot of PT I would advise skipping a lot of the practice exercises and creating your own practice sets after taking a few PTs and using the analytics to see what your weak sections are.

The consensus is to take as many PTs as possible but remember to Blind Review! JY says that that number is ~40/45 PT. Given the time constraints I would shoot for at least 25.

One final note. I listened to JYs videos at 2x speed and found it to be very easy to understand it wasn’t hard to hear at all so you might want to try that and see if it works for you!

Best of Luck!

Yeah I'm taking the June test on Monday and figured that I could register for the August/October exams when I get my results back at the end of June if need be. I will get 2 and 3 extra months of studying respectively by doing this so I think it might be worthwhile.

@oliviamoss5948 This obviously doesn't apply to your situation but its the same principle so I hope you get a good laugh:

I loved your example @JY - I caught the error immediately - maybe I should think about become a divorce lawyer LOL

@cb504526991 Just wanted to bring your attention to small error. Page 2 form 9. I believe it should read "Therefore, somethings that are small are named after Italian painters" instead of "Therefore, somethings that are green are named after Italian painters"

Bravo!

JY says 40 I believe. But you should be good with 25.

Also, as others stated you should double check to see what if anything you signed regarding academic integrity under covid-19. Then check your schools policies, manuals, and by-laws. What you want to really do is find some legal ground that you can stand on. You will want to find out the appeals process for these decisions and see if you can make a direct appeal to the Provost at your school or someone of similar standing.

I think saying that your confession/reflection was made under duress is a good start. Also, most schools have a clause in their by-laws in regards to the ramifications of improper academic advice - telling a student to confess to violating school policy without producing evidence would appear to fall under that category as it creates a punitive effect.

I feel like there is information missing from this story - are you saying that you confessed to a violation of school policy solely because of your guilty conscience and your professor had no actual evidence that would be able to hold water?

Also I am confused how he "caught a-lot of people for cheating" - this sounds like a bluff that law enforcement frequently uses... come on your applying to law school you should know this!!

It would be helpful to know what exactly you wrote in your confession - but nevertheless one could make a reasonable argument that you wrote it under duress. You confessed to something you didn't do for a lesser punishment instead of trying to defend yourself against a claim based on the absence of evidence..
