So I'm not happy with my December score and average a much higher score than I received....reason I messed up was I hardly got 2 hours of sleep night before so my eyes were liter ly closing on the most important test ever... now question is can I submit an app without an lsat and is that an advantage over waiting to send when lsat comes.... or is this evenpossible ? Please help
Just look at it unless your shooting for HLS even northwestern only cares for the higher score don't be too hard on yourself I'm in your exact same shoes testing wise as well my pts are exactly the same as yours .... well get through these rough times have faith... and remember consistency topples talent any day
@stephencarpinello514 it was awful man I had only 2 hour prolly .... eyes were blurring up and yes I'm definitely not going to risk anything next time if there is a next time will be using an aid
@msami1010493 i dont if i should retake I've seen my score from the first time i will have to look at this one for reference or for applying if i get a bit lucky ... cause my first one was February and you don't get a disclosed test to review... But i just might have to talk to someone and ya that method i know pretty well lol i used to use that to fix my sleeping schedules when i was up till 4 am back in the day.... but ya idk I'm in such a shitty spot i have no idea what the result is like ... but i don't even know if i want to retake in feburary either...
@emma486 that helps relieve a lil anxiety maybe in a upwind RC might balance out LG ... I think LSAC is making a change towards balancing out difficulty !
additionally todays RC felt much easier even in my sleep deprived mode than any i have ever taken !!!
This is my second sitting for the LSAT.... i have been killing myself for 5-6 months now averaging -3 on LG -5 to -4 on LR and well RC -9 -13 ... I wasn't prepared my first time around completely underestimated the test...but i couldn't sleep the night before.. and scored very bad.... second time coming now and again i couldn't sleep last night tossing turning from 10 to 3 am then maybe got 2 hours of shut eye ... and went to the test like i was so disoriented and sleep deprived that i could hardly figure the word adjacent on the second LG .... I'm in a nightmare ... this is not what was supposed to happen ...
Guys Anyone notice any repeating answer patterns I'm scared for LG but for RC anyone have repeating letter answers? Like CCCC or EEEE
Nice plans peeps...
Heres mine:
1.Have some chateubrion ( filet mignon) 6 pm with broccoli salad... no wine sadly makes me groggy lol
2. Bath around 8:30pm
3.Bedtime 9:30 take some melatonin pills for sleep aid
4.wake up 6 am have my 2 eggs with whole grain toast Lil mayo to calm the anxiety lol
5. Drive over to Philz coffee get myself a small cup of heaven
6.Head over to test site 25 mins away while listening to Paco de lucia( Santanas big daddy) and Yurima: River flows in you... highly recommend if you want to calm your nerves
7. Arrive test center do one simple logic game... 5 to 8 LR easy to medium
8.head into test ...walk out with pencil still smoking...pshhhhh
9. Come home and write a letter to LSAC and admitting guilt to having murdered that test...Obama out
Well hopefully it goes this way
@tutordavidlevine115 really? so the curve is configured based on previous data???? That is ridiculous ...very illogical why wouldn't they apply the curve from current results ... its not as representative to have old results from "OLDER" tests ... so lucrative these peeps are up to something
PS im also taking saturdays exam lol
@vickpetrosian1691 Hi i just took the 79 if you would like we can Skype or Viber i can help explain and it will be good review for me and you....if your comfortable with it my name is Vick I'm a psychology major Grad from Cal State Northridge ! i did pretty strong on LG and LR can't help too much on RC lol
Here some food for thought... most competitive students aim for sep or oct ...December has a more misses allowed because I believe a larger proportion of students who are not as competitive i.e. prepared take it ... honestly September is the last draw for most early admission applicants keep that in mind.
Thank you to my 7 sage family i cant respond to all of you but in short i really appreciate all support and advice... Yes unfortunately my exam is this saturday my last pt and review is toomrow ...friday i rest and saturday time for action ... but im very nervous....specifaclly because of RC ive worked so hard guys and im not saying this to self pitty but everyone on here understands my sorrow more than anyone else...
honestly... this might have been the weirdest flowing lsat there was no flow ... of hard to easy like in every test I've taken with the exception of the Chinese talk story RC difficulty has gone up down regularly this one is psychological difficult something about these questions tired me out today!!
check it out PT 79....LR -4 LG -5 ( usually 2-3), -3LR........-14 RC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! please what is wrong with me !!!
check it out PT 79....LR -4 LG -5 ( usually 2-3), -3LR........-14 RC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT IN THE SH********T!
Lots of vitamin c asap !!! And then get a concoction together 1 part honey 6 parts lemon juice!!! Drink 2 to 3 a day no joking this will help you a lot will cut sickness down into 2 days I swear !
I did at least 15 LR with review daily and one logic game different difficulties daily works wonder... you don't get rusty and should take you most 1:15 to 40 daily but keeps your hard earned techniques sharp !
Okay I'll be the first to tell you eating and sleep is important but only on the final week before... the main focus is to real push your brains limits on how well you process this information. Don't convince yourself just because you took the class your going to do well... you need to be really absorbing this stuff in outside of class to a point where if I told you what sort of question it is... you would know what sort of answers you could be looking for....
The question is in those 4-7 hours a day were you truly pushing yourself and constantly digging at why you were getting questions wrong? If not you need to sit down and wear a full pencil out doing problems...
If you are already doing this you need to reproach your study methods because almost everyone is able to get past 150 it's very doable I didn't score 150+ until I studied for at least a strong month or two then 160 after 3-4 months and so on ....
Ask yourself if you really are pushing yourself, and please my biggest piece of advice never feel sorry for yourself!!! Don't say poor me I'm going through so much stress ... instead tell yourself that your resilient and that you will keep pushing through adversity !!! Don't back down its difficult and takes time but you can 100% obtain a higher score !!!!
Thank you everyone I'm looking at all your advice truly appreciate it !!!
Guys honestly I'm doing pretty well in LR-3-5 and -2LG thanks J.Y....but I just can't get my RC Down to at least -7 or even -8 ... I've tried speed reading doesn't work I've tried notes doesn't work.... I realize it's like a super slow developing skill active reading that is but any concrete tips would really help I'm going to experiment this week before the test... please any thing solid would be appreciated!
LR is more wordy so gotta be more active in crediting important parts and dismissing general info...
Dont convince.... show .... that your enabling yourself as well as them to have a better chance for a better future. If their very statistical people as in they believe in studies and all. Show them by getting a better score you get into a better school+ scholarship, which enables you to provide extras for them as well as yourself !!
In your case I'd say cancel but be weary of feburary test I've taken it and it was strange nonetheless less ... somewhat easy but leaves you wondering if it was too easy if you know what I mean ... but if you feel like you cracked the 170 you should be fine and should keep it
