You'll definitely get one of HYS... Over both medians plus elite softs usually means "in" for Harvard... I would say you're a lock for CCN though.

Got my score!

Ayyyyyyyyyyyyyye!!!!!

Thanks lsac!

One example I remember that made me lol was the LSAT made that question hard or blah blah something similar "because fuck you"...

Complete every practice set in its entirety after every lesson as that is where the teachings are brought to life. Once you can conquer that, the PTs and BRs will serve as a standard of progress. A personal failure of mine is I didn't fully complete all of the question sets because I felt that I had a good handle of the material and just moved on. The LSAT has a way of showing you new variations of logical weaknesses you never knew and the only way to expose them is to fail (or miss a question) occasionally. Fully exhaust the curriculum before starting PTs if you can but take PTs 36-40 only if you just can't hold out the temptation to see progress. The test is tough and the timed component of it is really where it wears on you. Take PTs in environments that are tougher than actual testing environments in order to make "game day" easier. My last bit of advice is their is no such thing as a safety school when choosing law schools. If you are Harvard (and comparable school) or bust don't settle for a LSAT score that won't get you in that school. Whether that takes 5.5 months or 18 months, with a 3.95 gpa you can make it happen.

@guitarnara518 I created this thread as a blood pressure monitor.... Obviously the wait has me on edge (slightly).

Some are not representative because they have mapping games and other never used again game types but I would do them as experimental sections for the remaining PTs. That way you can kill two birds with one realistic testing stone.

I was stuck in the same plateau as you... Drill question sets in logical reasoning in areas where you struggle with or miss a lot of level 1-4 questions. Get to the point where level 1-3 at least are near guaranteed points. Then you will make your jump from 161 to 165-166 range

Level 5 questions are curve breakers. I personally miss around half of them because I have trouble conceptualizing what the answer should be and fall for a trap choice or believe all of the answer choices are wrong. I recommend drilling level 4 and 5 answer choices in your problem area until they feel 2nd nature. Just remember that to be a sage, you only need to be 89-90% accurate.

^^^^ literally I find so many flaws in everyday speech because of my studies for the LSAT that it's starting to get annoying

I wouldn't cancel

If your gpa is respectable and your LSAT in the mid 160's you probably won't have any issues getting into Georgetown or GW part-time.

W's are meaningless to law schools unless you withdrew from school completely. That would be the only time it could cause further attention. Don't bring unneeded attention to a small issue. Focus on improving controllable strengths of your app (LSAT, ps, ds)

Tls led me to 7sage and kept me from applying to schools I "thought" were good so it's helped me.

Going for -12.... I'm more excited that I never have to take this test again.

I took the LSAT 3 times. I suffered no negative impact, in fact I outperformed my numbers even considering my urm status. With that being said however, study so that you only have to take once. Take pts until you can comfortably hit your goal score regularly. Write a tremendous PS and DS. I'm taking once more in June just to see if I can score high enough where HYS may be be more than just a pipe dream. The amount of takes means very little as most schools only care about your highest score.

I had a couple sections like that. BR the heck out of it and then forget the bad score ever happened. On the times it happened to me in logic games however it uncovered a weakness that I was happy to uncover (missed deductions, bad game board, etc). Live and learn and you'll grow from this.

I couldn't afford it either but after the 14 day period I realized how much it had helped me and I knew I would just have to make some sacrifices. It's paid for itself numerous times over just in scholarship money. My gpa is below the 25ths at most schools I have been accepted to but my LSAT is what's been getting me the big money. I diagnosed at a 148 but that quickly became a distant memory and I have the top-10 acceptances and ridiculous scholarships to prove it.
