Hi!

I am taking the June LSAT for the first time, and if I think I need to retake it, I will likely take it again in September. I plan on applying this cycle, meaning that most applications will open on September 1st, but the September LSAT scores will be released a few weeks afterwards.

Given the notable increase in law school applications, I have heard admissions departments say it is is better to submit applications sooner rather than later to have better chances of admissions and merit-based scholarship consideration--of course, they also say to submit your application when it is at its best.

My question is if I take the September LSAT, will I have enough time to submit my application "early enough" to have strong chances of admission and scholarships, or are applications being submitted at such a rate that submitting ASAP may be preferable?

I think I already know that submitting apps after the September scores are released won't be detrimental to my chances, but I'd definitely appreciate a second opinion.

Thanks!

I just scored a 162 on PT147.

Hello! Does anyone have tried and true advice on closing the gap between PT and BR scores? My recent PT scores are in the low-to-mid 160s, but I am consistently scoring 175+ on BR.

If it is helpful, my target score is 165, and I will be taking the June LSAT. This last month of preparation will be very intensive for me, so any advice is welcome.

Thanks!

Hello! I completed the core curriculum a few weeks ago and have since been working through drills, sections, and PTs. I’ve seen a noticeable improvement in my pacing on LR, but my RC pace is struggling to get to the 8 min 45 sec per passage average.

I was wondering if anyone has advice or less obvious strategies that have helped them move through RC passages more efficiently. I’d really appreciate any tips or insights!
