My worst section is RC, my best is LG but it is still not perfect. I need to take far more practice tests to prepare for the October test, but does anyone have any tips to improve from a 158 to 160's in 6 weeks time?

After getting my score from the August LSAT today I'm totally at a loss. I took my first LSAT in June and scored a 157 which was not where I wanted to be. I then buckled down and studied harder for the August LSAT. I was averaging 163's right before the first go around of the test. I, along with most everyone had problems with my August LSAT. I choose to take it again and I truly felt that the test went well. I got my score back again today and I once again got a 157. I was really hoping to submit my applications as early as possible because I know that the earlier the better. Should I sacrifice this to take the test again? I am just worried that waiting until the end of October (when the October test score comes out) is going to be too long and hurt me in the long run of the admissions process. Please help I am very unsure of what to do at this point and the date to register for the October test closes tomorrow. I have a strong GPA (3.76) and good extra curriculars and I am not trying to make t14 or anything but I still want to get into the best schools that I can.

I scored a 158 on my August LSAT. It was about what I was scoring at the time I honestly expected to score worse, but I am aiming to score in the low 160's by October. Is it possible to increase by at least 5 points by October? I'm trying to figure out a better study schedule for the month that is not so grueling, I studied 6 days a week about 7 hours from June to August. Any helpful advice or tips would be lovely.

Help with RC 'main idea' q's

I know I'm wrong, but I look for answers that would nicely summarize the passage. PT10 passage 2 for example is comparing two styles of art: Venetian and Tuscan. I immediately eliminated AC's that only mention one or the other style as this didn't seem like a good summary (trust me, I get that I'm really missing the mark here). The correct AC was [first sentence of second paragraph] something to the effect of the author's main complaint about an art critic's view. The first paragraph, to me, seemed to be exclusively about comparing and contrasting the two art styles. I focused on being able to distinguish between the two. I missed the subtlety of the author's viewpoint-- that the art critic was presenting a view at all.

Whereas the incorrect AC I selected was literally just a true factoid found within the passage that happened to include both "Venetian" and "Tuscan". I am missing out on the big picture. I know it's very intuitive for many. I am very focused on structure and content, so I overlook other important aspects of the passage.

I am currently drafting multiple diversity statements with different topics to prepare for my law school applications here in the fall. As of right now, I have a few different topics that I'm considering to write about and would love to get other peoples opinion on the topics.

Background Information:

For the first three bullets, I could easily compile these issues into one essay with a good story. However, I feel like the topics may be a little generic. I'm really leaning towards my fourth bullet point. I've heard that admissions are kind of over reading essay about Covid-19, however, I think I could write my most compelling essay with this story. Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions on, 1. whether this would be considered a diversity factor and 2. should I focus my essay on points 1-3 or on point 4.

Thanks!

Help!!!

So I scored a 158 on the August LSAT, which is a little below my average score of 160. Though I am happy with my score, I most definitely feel like I could have scored in the 160's if I hadn't struggled with a game that I'm almost certain I didn't score -0, which is what I usually score. I've already taken the LSAT 3 times, so October would be my 4th and I'm at a point of burnout tbh. Right now, I'm wrapping up my essays and I was really hoping to apply as early as possible because I know that I will most likely be a reverse splitter at every school I apply to since I have a 4.0 GPA.

Part of me is saying retake, another is saying will 2/3 points really make a difference, and even then, if I don't get the 160, I'll be applying later than I hoped.

For reference, I have a 4.0 GPA, graduated a year early with a B.S. and 2 minors, I have more than a year of legal experience working at a law firm, an extensive resume with extracurricular activities and awards, and I genuinely think my essays will stand out (although I'm sure most of us think this anyways). The only weak point in my application will be my LSAT, but I'm not looking to apply to any of the schools in the top 40 (looking at regional schools in Texas and bordering states). Any advice would help!

We can choose from 4 days for the Oct lsat? (https://www.lsac.org/LSATdates). Are they testing new exams?

I'm trying to see how many LR questions I have left untouched between all of the remaining PT's.

Hello folks! Hope everything is well during your application cycle.

Just wondering would part time bachelor studies affect our JD admissions?

I only have 5 classes left for my last two semesters and will take part time studies during the last two semesters. This is due to that I have transfer credits from Quebec CEGEP (College).

Anybody familiar with this issue? Would part time studies affect my admission to Canadian law schools?

Thanks and Good luck!

Hi all. I have two solid academic LORs and I'm wondering if I really need to try and get a professional one. I graduated in 2019 and my jobs post college haven't been very consistent (shorter stints in various different industries). I've also dealt with some health issues during this time as well. Do you think my application would be weaker if I only submit academic LORs since I've been out of school for 4 years? Any advice welcome. THANKS!

I'm currently studying for the September LSAT and I've been averaging a score of 159-160 on my last several practice tests. On one hand I'm proud of myself and excited because 160 was my initial goalpost when I started my admissions journey back in May. I also know that combined with my other stats, a 160 could yield great admissions results. However, I worry that if I do score the 160 as I'm averaging, I may not be accepted to some programs I want and/or won't receive a good amount in scholarships. All that is to say I'm wondering if I should apply with my average score (if I end up scoring that way) or if I should sign up for the Oct LSAT in hopes of a better score?

Note:

I'm applying to programs ranging in the 150s rankings to T14.

I have a 4.0 GPA, majored in Political Science, have a legal internship, high honors, owned a small business at the start of college, and have worked all throughout college.

Took the January flex and I want to wait and see if I need to continue studying or not

Thank you!

I signed up for the september LSAT in June, but didnt start 7sage until the end of July. I thought I'd be ready for the September LSAT but I do not. I am definitely taking the November LSAT so I can still apply for this admissions cycle.

Should I take the September LSAT to experience how the exam will feel like, or should I just wait until november?

I chose C but I can see why it is A now. The premise is that there are these two cars which have different uses and weights. And we also learn that lighter cars are more fuel efficient. Therefore when the conclusion says "Since most automobile traffic is local... net saving in fuel blah blah blah. We need to fill the gap of "so most people must be using the lighter car when driving downtown. Therefore for A, which tells us that most families that drive long distances have two cars, that is the assumption we need which is that even people who have cars that drive long distances also have downtown lighter cars for local traffic.

Hi, I’m planning on taking the LSAT in July 2024 and I started studying a month ago. I’ve been working full time as a tattoo artist for 3 years and I graduated from my bachelors in 2021. I feel that I’ve acquired a lot of valuable skills as a tattoo artist such as communicating with clients, marketing, managing my schedule, I’ve traveled to work across Canada/ US, interacted with different types of people and learned how different shops manage/ operate. However, I’m worried that it wouldn’t be taken as seriously since I don’t work a conventional job.

I don’t have any corporate experience, I haven’t done any other work/ volunteer in the past 3 years and I didn’t assist in any research during undergrad. I’m wondering if I should pick up a volunteer or part time corporate job? I didn’t see any law related volunteer opportunities in my area but I did find some positions abroad. I’m open to all options and I’m still working but my schedule is very flexible. Thanks so much in advance for any advice!

So I’m about to go into my last year in undergraduate and taking my LSAT in September. I have been planning to go straight into law school (fall 2024) for multiple reasons. 1) If I take a gap year, I feel like I would lose motivation to go back to school. 2) I have the funds necessary to go to law school. 3) I have an idea of what type of law i’m interested in.

Now my question is, even with all of these reasons, is it still advised to take a gap year? I’ve heard a lot about needing it to build up a resume and have more experience in law. I’m just not sure whether this outweighs my reasons. What do you guys think?

Hi Everyone!

I have had a pretty rocky road with studying for the LSAT... but I really want to apply this fall for law school. I graduated this May with 2 degrees/3 minors and a lot of work/internship experience (3.76 overall GPA on LSAC, 3.82 cumulative). I took the LSAT in June 2022 with a 147, and cannot for the life of me figure out how to study. I have been battling myself while trying to make a study schedule, whereas I will study for 8 hours at a time and then can't study for a few days afterwards. I do not have a goal score because I don't want to disappoint myself.

Anyhow, my next LSAT test date is September 8th. What do you think of me pushing back another month to October, and using these 3 months to study about 40 hours a week? Is early November too late to apply to school? I'm focusing on all 3 sections, but LR is my worst. My dream is to work in a federal position, and I promise I am intelligent and hard-working. I think the LSAT has really threw my self-confidence and urgency off as I thought I would be better at studying like I was in college. Thank you for your time and reading this, and I sincerely appreciate any and all advice.

Question is the title. Basically, how big of an advantage is being in the military when applying to law school? Is it viewed favorably? Currently on active duty in the US Army.

Hi All,

When is a good time to ask for a recommendation? I’m not sure when I will apply to schools, but I graduated June 2022 and have been working full-time since. Should I ask my professors (that I had a year ago) now even though I don’t know the specific time I will apply? Ideally, it will be by November of this year, but it will probably be later this or next year. Also, how did you write your asking email?

Thank you,

Melissa
