So I did much worse than I thought I would on the June LSAT, like worse than all my pt's. Where do I go from here? Just redo the whole curriculum? Has this happened to anyone else? Not feeling great although I know I should have given myself more time.

    This happened to me too. And on top of that I have been already studying for 2 years. My score was significantly lower than my PT average. Although it could be attributed to lack of sleep (got 2 hours), I am still concerned. Although the common knowledge is that law school is always around, I am 24 atm and would like to apply this cycle. I read on jd-underground forum that first year associates tend to be in the late 20s and firms prefer those at the age range. Can anyone verify?

    I'm in a similar position. Scored 6 points below where I wanted to be. I think my plan is to take a PT from the 50s or 60s and really analyze my weak spots based on my BR. Then, I will make a plan of attack. I think that will involve revisiting some curriculum, watching webinars, re-working my strategy in certain sections, etc. Then drill and PT until September!

    That's a lie. They do not PREFER "that age range." I'm 30 and start this fall. Big law gunner here and firms prefer substantive work experience and business acumen. 27 year olds don't have that with extremely rare exceptions. And that's basically accusing firms of age discrimination.

    Thank you for the clear up @"Nicole Hopkins" . I was freaking out for a moment, especially because I dont have much outside world experience besides having some remote consulting work for a start up.

    lol well I'm 35, married with 2 kids and on 3rd career although hoping to be a public defender. Well, if at first you don't succeed... With the career I'm choosing I imagine I'll be taking lots of hits.
