That's quite an elaborate system! I usually try to streamline by just marking the choices I am not sure about and attack the question a second time after the initial pass through. Like amedley, I try to knock out BR immediately after my first go.

Haha! No way, man! My goal is a 180 'cause anything less just never made sense for me. That said, being an AA URM with average softs and some work experience, I'd feel safe applying with anything north of a 168. AA URMS are getting into H with 160s and Y&S wit 165s. So I guess we will see.

All that said, I just really want to be scoring really high before I take the test. Thank you for the encouragement though.

I really respect that, man and hope you do get the score you want! However, I do find it important to make sure people that aren't as familiar with how this all works know that they have a shot at elite schools without perfection. But, keep that positivity up! That'll take you very far.

Aiming for this December. Maybe next year. Whenever I am scoring those sweet 180s. HYS or bust ;)

I'm all for perfectionism, but if HYS is your goal you do not need a 180. Although it'll help, it certainly isn't necessary. I would just hate for someone to discourage themselves from applying to those schools because they didn't get a near perfect to perfect score.

Hoping the competition will motivate LSAC to modernize the test a bit. We're already seeing positive changes now (Digital LSAT Pilot, talks of increasing test dates, etc.)

I'm in! Squad up!!
