Feel more and more hopeless every day thinking of those logical reasoning sections, anyone feel the same way?
Were they especially hard or was it just me...?
I feel the same way. For me it was like when the proctor said begin,I just was reading but not really understanding like I would be in PTs. It was just like running purely on my subconscious. It was strange and I think I did poorly on the LR. The LG and RC was much easier.
I felt the same, at least for the first LR. There were a series of about 5-10 questions which were totally opaque to me, I read the stimulus for each of these questions for a long time and I was ascertaining nothing. It ended up eating a sizable amount of my time and I felt rushed for the remaining questions on that section. That's never happened to me before. I felt I did well on the other LR, and I felt that the RC and LG were comparatively easier to the first time I wrote the test. But that first LR section may have spoiled the whole test for me and I'm extremely disappointed because of it. Knowing I may have to write the test a third time because of that section is killing me.
Any word out there on what the curve might be?
What day is today? Today is 12 days until our score comes out. Tomorrow is not Tuesday. Tomorrow is 11 days until our score comes out
@Nov2018Taker What day is today? Muahahahaha! One week to go (assuming they don't release the scores early or late, both of which are a possibility).
I was on the phone with a customer service rep the other day and she asked me if I had a pen to write down a confirmation number she was about to give me. I grabbed the first notepad and pen I could find and opened it to a page ready to copy and there it was... My last practice Logic Game before the test... Seems like it was months ago. 😂
@Supernovice your calendar is correct. Today is 7 days until our score comes out
So... Do we obsessively refresh at midnight on Friday... Or do score releases happen around midday, evening, by midnight on Saturday??
They should start releasing scores Saturday morning. That's how September scores went.
I dreamed I got the email with my score and I was debating on whether to open it or not. I want to come up with a plan to make sure I'm ok if I am disappointed--the most likely scenario...
Realize that you can always retake, especially since there is no cap on tries now. Think of it as a live practice run if it didn't go well, and realize very, very few of us ever got the score we wanted the first time. When I went in for November, a number of folks were on their third run there.
@btownsquee I'm trying to do the same. Each time someone asks me how I felt about it, I clam up. I hate repeating it over and over again... My superstitious side fluctuates between "if I underestimate my score, I'm putting out bad karma and will likely get a bad score" and "if I overestimate my score, I'm definitely jinxing it".
Even though it's been over for weeks it's hard to accept that the score is now out of my hands.
Ahh same! I'm battling with signing up for January before seeing my score because I feel like I'll be sending out bad vibes, so it's just sitting in my cart till Saturday.
For those of you stressing about your score keep in mind it's all about perspective. Next year will bring multiple opportunities to improve. I've already come to terms with the idea of delaying a cycle. (obviously I don't want to) but because I've accepted the possibility I'm very at ease.
Benefits of delaying include: improving score, applying on the earliest possible date, saving money for seat deposit fees and trips to visit law schools, more time to do research on schools/scholarships, more time to work on softs/polish applications, less stressful application process. Oh and did I mention a chance to improve your score? haha sounds like a sweet deal to me.
I'm aware not everyone is able to delay. But if it's something you haven't considered because you don't want to wait or because your family is pressuring you to go straight through, it's worth considering!
Great things to keep in mind!! Thanks
I will probably do my retake in March/June which gives me time to hopefully be scoring at my goal score by then.
My plan is just to open the email when I get it and proceed with life as normal that day. My goal is to finish my third draft of my personal statement on Saturday. I might also go get a facial since that is relaxing and gives me a quiet environment just to think...
To prep for the next time I take this test, I will be taking practice sections and exams in less than ideal environments--coffee shops, libraries with kids running around, etc.
I HIGHLY recommend testing in coffee shops. The first few practice tests in loud environments might be extremely difficult and frustrating. I'm easily distracted so at any given moment my ears would decide to listen to conversations around me or the TV if I was at home. But after a handful of PT's in conditions like that, I was able to completely drown out any noise around me.
I woke up in a sweat this morning because I dreamt I got 52 on the LSAT. Not even the 52th percentile, but 52. Is that even possible??? HOLY MOLY that was scary
This made me cackle cause I recently dreamt I got a 16😱 Like what does that even mean?? LSAC needs to get us out of this misery.
Anyone think the scores are coming at 12:01 AM? I’m definitely waiting up
Haha I don’t know. But this is gonna be a depressing Saturday I have a feeling.
I waited up last cycle and nothing happened. They just send out emails at like 6am
Good luck to all! Hopefully the curve will be generous.
I think they will start posting at 9am Eastern Time on Saturday just like they did with July and September LSATs.
Hey all, this may seem like a stupid question but can someone explain what the curve does in terms of scoring, specifically that is. I just used my raw score conversion after each PT. Is the curve what would determine those 1-2 point changes? If so, the curve then doesn’t seem like that is that big of an impact as people are implying. Thanks for clarifying
It's just referring to the difficulty of the test. So with a typical test one can miss like -10 and score a 170. With a more forgiving "curve" the test might allow -12 for the same score. It's technically predetermined so it's not really a curve. From what I understand, it has nothing to do with how we performed on the test since LSAC knows exactly how difficult each section is.
Good luck everyone! Try to get some sleep.
Know that tomorrow, some of you will be ecstatic, others will feel defeated, and others in between. Be kind to yourself and to others. Take time away from the board if you need to. Know that if you’re disappointed, you’re not alone. It’s happened to so many people. Sometimes it’s just the luck of the draw. Take a deep breath, some time for yourself, and then we’ll help you get back to the drawing board if you need to.
Sending all my good vibes to you guys.
Everything happens for a reason. It will be fine regardless. I will just apply regardless of the score. If I don't get in to my school, I will just knock it out again next cycle. Good luck my friends !!!
did anyone get anything yet???
Nope
Wasn't it supposed to come 9 AM eastern time?
Nothing yet. This is the first time I have been on a blog like this and I am glad to see that dealing with those mines seemed to be tough for most of us!
the anticipation is unbearable!
"we now know that November 2018 scores will officially begin coming out around 9:00am EST on December 9th." This was on a powerscore blog front page. The 9th?????
Haven’t received it yet. Although someone just said the curve was -11. We’ll see...
I heard that the curve is -10. Can anyone confirm?
The 9th?! I thought it was this morning
Wow. I read a response from a person who posted on Powerscore.
Not David
Ok so a question was removed!? The total number of questions are 99!?
Just saw that. 99 with a -10
The curve was - 10 because they took out a question to make the total 99 questions ---> this equates to a -11 curve!
Where are ya'll seeing this?
It was on Dave Killoran's Twitter
Waaaait, @"pacaque the prediction macaque"'s curve prediction was -10.6, which is pretty accurate!!!! -10 on 99 questions scale and -11 if there were 100 questions. 😱
I just got my score. So its definitely today. I did much better than I thought. Good luck everyone
Are people getting their scores?? Should I check my email or go on LSAC? ahhh I'm so nervous
Just got mine. Good luck everyone!
From reddit thread, https://www.reddit.com/r/LSAT/comments/a44tve/lsat_score_release_protocol_what_to_expect_on/:
Need a distraction!
Does our LSAC account get updated first or do we get an email with our score first?
I got an email and the email had my score and percentile in it
@akistotle why are questions removed? Is it because too many people got them wrong?
