Hi everyone!
So, I am a re-taker, but have taken a few years away from the LSAT. I took it twice (little studying for the second attempt) and received a 154 both times. I'm shooting for the upper 160s-170s and would love an accountability/study buddy to keep each other accountable. I work full-time though completely remote thanks to COVID, but find most study time during the evening and/or on the weekends. If you're looking for something similar let me know!
Best of luck to everyone!
@rosewehrman734.e.w1640 thanks for the info! Congrats on the amazing score!
Mind sharing what your study schedule/strategy was? What materials did you use and how long did it take you?
I'm hoping for September, but might delay as well. I'm almost done with the CC, but have been taking a timed practice test every so often. Last time I did not take many timed LSATs and this definitely hurt me on test day.
After I finish the CC (hopefully in the next week), I plan on taking 1-2 timed LSATs/week. I also still have the Cambridge packets so I plan on utilizing those to help drill down on my weak areas. Right now I really struggle with timing. When I go back and BR my score generally jumps by 10 points. I'm hoping the more timed tests and timed practice I get, the quicker/easier it will become to work with the time constraints of the test.
Best of luck to you!
Coming from someone who was close to the threshold this is great news. My first two takes I received the same score (154) and never really pushed myself to study hard. My next take was going to be my final opportunity (I still hope it is!), but this allows room for error should something happen on the 3rd attempt.
@tristandesinor505 i listened to their podcast today and I believe they specifically singled out the NYC schools due to the obscene cost of attendance. They did agree that they give great employment opportunities, but they also look at the total cost to the student. As we all know living in NYC is exponentially more expensive than most US cities.
Once Harvard decided to utilize the GRE it was only a matter of time before someone followed. I am a bit shocked it has happened so quickly. As @gregoryalexanderdevine723 said I don't think it will be too long before the rest of the top tier schools join the party.
I've been studying on and off for a while. I tried to rush myself into the exam (JY would not approve) and ended up scoring lower than I hoped. I ended up with a 154 despite my PTs being in the 160s.
To date, I've taken 8 PTs, tons of isolated sections and the LSAT itself.
Interested!
