I am just wondering if LSAC would let you update an application with a new lsat score that wasn't attached to the submitted application .

An example of this would be : School X is due March 15th, You take the LSAT in Oct, send that score by November with the application. However, out of the blue you decided to retake it in December and get a higher score. Would LSAC let you update the schools report / application on you?

So I've been averaging about 155 on timed PTs and decided to go really hard on the studying this past week. I took PT 57 un-timed today an got a 167 (far above my target score).

I realized that the reason I would score a 155 is because I would fall for a lot of the trap answers under timed circumstances. My question to you 7Sagers is what can I do to get as close as possible to that 167 (untimed) in a timed situation by the December test?

Average

LG: -0 to -4

LR: -9 to -13

RC: -7 to -12

PT 57 (untimed)

LG: -0

LR1: -5

LR2: -3

RC: -7

Hi all --

I'm pretty sure I'm posting in the right spot but let please move if I'm not!

In any case I'd like some advice.

I am a college student, but that's it.

My situation started off late January when I started to study for the October 2013 exam. This self-studying (complete with MLSAT and Powerscore bibles) didn't work out for personal reasons. I then decided to try to study again for the December exam, this time with a tutor. This has not worked out because my exam scores are nowhere near (think 150s) where I need them to be (170+). I'm delaying until February and taking a year off to work before law school, but now have been considering delaying until June 2014 in pursuit of a great score.

I have purchased the Complete LSAT package and will be going over it, as well as the recommended practice exams, in preparation for February. Do I have enough time to improve to where I need to be by then? Any experience or recommendations would be great.

I generally get 163s on my full length practice exams. Using (http://www.lsatqa.com/), it shows that generally my LR is 20/19, LG is 17, RC is 25. The problem with my logic games section is when I have a full hour, I can get all of them right. When it is timed, I only get a small section done, and then speed guess on the rest (in an attempt to get some points rather than none) if there's 2 minutes to go. My question is: I sit for the exam in December. Should I focus on improving LR, or try and improve on LG to get more total points? I don't need to apply for law school until fall of 2014, so I can a) choose to withdraw from Dec and take in Feb b) try and study as much as possible before Dec 7, c)_____?

I have been working on Logical Reasoning and Logic Games, and I feel pretty comfortable with them. I still end up scoring in the 150's however due to reading comp. I feel like the only way to really improve is to do them and get them wrong and try to do better next time? I feel sort of lost. I have been reading the Economist and scholarly journals on scientific information to try and hone those skills as far as reading goes. However, I am not sure why I just cant make it work.

Any Tips?

Okay so the past two practice tests I've done I did well on one LR section and not so well on the other. I got a 20 and a 13 and a 20 and a 14. Is this normal to perform so differently on the same type of section? The higher score was the earlier section for both tests so does it have to do with endurance?

Any advice on jumping into the 170+ range?

LG is definitely my weakness. Currently, I'm scoring at about 75% correct in the section (-6) and if I can get it to -0 to -1 I'd be at around a 170-172. I've been doing tons of the 7sage method in the last month and it has helped a ton, but I feel like I need a stronger final push before December. Any suggestions?

I know the games in the latest tests are a bit different or perhaps easier as many say. Is it wise to probably work back on the preptests from preptest 70? so that I'm not faced with "oh crap i need more time to practice on this new kind of stuff" a week before the exam.

Hello all!! So, I've got a bit of a predicament. I've taken the OCT LSAT but did not get to spend as much time as I needed to prep and thus didn't receive the score that I would have liked to have. I got an OK score, 153, but I know that with proper prep time, I can score at least in the low 160's. I'd like to start submitting applications soon but I'm wondering if I should hold off on submitting. Is it possible to submit applications with my current score and then when the DEC LSAT scores come out, add that to my already submitted applications, or is it smarter to wait to apply until after I receive these scores? I realize that applying earlier gives me a much better chance of being accepted and waiting could hurt my chances, but on the other hand, a better score gives me a much stronger application. Any help would be great! Thanks guys!
