Hey all! So I submitted a resume for a school that comes out fine out of my printer but I'm worried that my narrow margins might not work for every printer. Should I email a resume with better margins to the school - just to be safe?

I feel I'm just making silly mistakes like this in on my apps.

Hey everyone,

Hope everyone had a successful take today. I had a quick question about what scores law schools look at. I know it obviously varies between schools but do schools who say they evaluate the top score do so even if a more recent score is not the highest? I got a 165 in September but only missed 2-3 on LG. This test, I felt a lot more confident on RC and a little more confident on LR but LG was rough to me. I ended up guessing on probably 3 questions.

Is it worth considering cancelling?

After months of studying, I finally took the December LSAT today. I completely bombed the LG section. I have no idea why I struggled with it, it didn't feel hard. I kept messing up my rules and missed bubbled twice in the section which I had to go back and erase and fix, which I still feel like I didn't properly do. I didn't end up making it to the last game which I just bubbled a random letter for the whole game. I felt I did well on the other sections but that won't make up for how badly I did on LG. LG is typically my best section for the most recent LSATs I've been missing no more than 4 and thats when there is a really hard game in the section. This was the third time I took the test. I took it June 2015 and canceled then again December 2016 and scored a 154. I've been studying on and off for more than a year and a half and really worked hard for this December test. I know I can score over a 160 easily but it is highly dependent how well I do on LG. I am really considering taking the test again February one last time and just focusing on LG with a bit of LR and RC until I take the test.

How badly will law schools look at fourth take? I really feel like this test was not indicative of what I can do especially since this time I came prepared. I just don't want to give up on going to good law school because my nerves got the best of me.

I’m a theater person who doesn’t wish people good luck. And you don’t need luck. You’ve rehearsed this. You know exactly what to do. You are gonna kill this!

Tomorrow is your time to shine!

But remember this is just a test. There’s more to life than this. Don’t freak yourself out. You’re gonna be fine.

throwaway account for 'obvious' reasons lol

we've had these semi-joke, semi-serious posts before, but...

this is it. in all seriousness, I'm going to the shop later today to acquire some quality adult diapers. it's 10:20am in my time zone and I just had to go to the bathroom. no telling this won't happen tomorrow as well lolol

worst case scenario, it's going to be nice and warm through the test.

Any thoughts?

West coast time, about to head in. Thinking of everyone already elbow deep in the test. I know you’re crushing it! See ya this afternoon!

I just finished it last night. How 'bout those closing arguments for the defense?? Am I right? Just poking holes all up in that prosecutor's argument like he were Zorro or something. Ahhh so good. Great book!

So I was just contemplating about tomorrow. I'm done studying and the stress sets in. But,despite it being one of the most stressful days in my life, I look forward to tomorrow. First, and most important, it will be all over! Second, I really enjoy getting to the test site early to people watch. Yes PEOPLE WATCH! If you are an avid people watcher, you know you'll see some gemstones tomorrow.

People watching can also be a great way to calm yourself down.

Like when you go to bed and can't fall asleep you count sheep, same when you wait for lsat you can count people's pencils.( I brought 10 last time myself) People go to extremes to feel ahmmn "secure" is the word? Especially the first time takers! Another thing that calms me down before the big L (no pun intended) is talking with people about the way in which they studied or how long they prepared. I go into every test feeling like I haven't studied enough, like maybe I don't know this stuff and all PT I've taken were for nothing. I sit biting myself down, when I hear "oh I haven't studied at all" or "I thought the experimental section was noted so we know which one it is". People tend to be so confident. I'm jealous of their "no fucks given" mentality, but it boosts my ego just to know I may be ok afterwards ?

Hey awesome-est LSAT community out there!

Signing off now. Going to turn my brain off for the next few hours. Just wanted to say good luck to everyone tomorrow; you're going to kill it!

Paul

so i dont know if im over thinking it, but my picture is not like high end quality type, its a little fuzzy around the edges but you can for sure tell its me, i just don't if they will be super strict and be like oh its not crystal clear we can't let you in or if im just going crazy, how strict are they usually?

Hi everyone,

I'm pretty sure the answer is I can't take the test (I was planning on canceling my score anyway) but does anyone know if there is anything that can be done about being admitted to the exam if you lose your only form of ID the night before the exam?

If we are to be there no later than 8:30am,

Is it reasonable to say I will be done at 1:30pm?

That is 1h for check-in and instructions.

Last time I finished around that time, we got out at 1:45pm

Good luck to everyone in the world, it is also officially December 2nd in the US. I will point out that I think many of us can rest a bit easier knowing the new rule for taking this damn test. I suppose the makers realize 3 times ain't always a charm.

My LSAT ticket has horizontal lines across the picture, does this matter? also if so how can i get them off?

Hi everyone,

I remember once seeing a bus game which JY refer to as "ridiculously tough." I would like to retried it tonight but I forgot which PT that is from.

Could someone please point me to the right direction?

Thank you!

I took this test 4 years ago when I first started my journey. I've failed it miserably and am now here and taking it extremely seriously! I am just starting on the CC and at the point where I just finished learning about BR (amazing) and tomorrow I'll do the next step- take a diagnostic, and then BR.. which happens to be the 07 test. Should I incorporate another PT test for this part of the CC? Will it throw me off any, or still be following the same CC? I notice the first test is PT 36 at the end of the CC, should I just use that one? I do have 10 fresh tests from one of the "real" LSAT actual books.. I could pull one from? What do you guys think? Or, take that 07 test? It's been sooooo long. I scored a 142 on it when I took it. Then trashed it. :-p

Hello everyone,

My latest hurdle on LR is trying to parse out the referential phrasing. Has anyone had an issue with this and compiled a list of questions to practice? Let me know! It would be the biggest help on my journey to improving my LR score!

All the best!

Hope for your goal score!

For my picture on my admission ticket, I have my hair down.

That being said, I can wear my hair in a pony tail right?

Came across this nerd click bait and loved it. I've identified a lot of these linguistic hobbles in my own speech and writing, and I've been on a mission to eradicate them for about a year now. The opportunity to edit has made it a manageable task in my writing (when I remember), but I've barely made any headway in speech. For now, it remains a struggle, but I hope some of you will join me!

Is it sound to take a PT then blind review it the next morning, or it is ideal to take it then blind review it immediately? Going to do my first BR as I just stared the CC.. so will be doing the 07 test.

Is anyone considering withdrawing? I've already withdrew once before and it sucks to eat the money but I'm just wondering if anyone else is going to withdraw from this Saturday's test.

I'm still 5+ points away from my goal score so I know it won't happen. I'm already registered for February's test so still contemplating what to do.

Hi Everybody,

I first took the LSAT in 2016 and scored a 169. I tried again in September 2017 and scored above 170.

Here are a few things I would like to share

care for your mind and body. On test day, to perform well, you should be rested, well hydrated, and well fed. This isn't something you can do last minute. You need to be eating, drinking, and sleeping for several days (or weeks) prior to the test. If you can't fall asleep, then lay there and rest :)

In practice tests, we try to understand every answer choice. But on test day, you just need the correct answers. So if you have a good rationale for A being right, but you can't eliminate C, then pick A and move on. You don't have time to dissect C. Same thing in logic games: you do not need to eliminate all the wrong answers. Scan first for obviously correct or obviously wrong choices (just like JY in his videos) -- don't mindlessly plug and chug A, B, C, etc.

I know this test can get boring and tiring, but scoring highly requires a certain degree of engagement with the test material

Best of luck to everyone.
