Improved 9 points from my last time and 12 from my diagnostic. LG absolutely killed me -14 when I normally am only -3/-4. But it gives me a great opportunity to sit out and be able to test/drill more so I can hit that 175 dream score!

@rachie_rednog I believe they stay in your LSAC profile but I'm not 100% sure about that
-
@AlexandriaD no problem glad to help! The problem is that what happens if you don't do well in that semester? I know no one wants to think that way but if you get a B+ for that class then now your GPA is already lower then what you want it to be an…

1) Early decision definitely impacts your chances to get in but like everyone else has reiterated it is entirely dependent on the school and the school's program. For some schools (t-14) it will make it easier to get into but definitely isn't the e…

@AlexandriaD the biggest advantage is getting acclimated early. Getting to know a group of people, establish a study group, and have a little bit more understanding ahead of the 1L's that normally come in. The theory is that if you can "learn law …
-
After thinking about this for a few minutes I'm honestly really torn about this. On the surface I agree with @"Alex Divine" that it's a great program for you given your aspirations and any advantage you can use to make 1L easier is definitely nothin…
-
@rachie_rednog I agree 100% with @"Alex Divine" the one thing that you can't change is your GPA right now but if you truly want to go to law school then absolutely make the 3rd try on the LSAT count whether that be in February, June, or even Septemb…

For your specific scenario my recommendation would be to cancel. If you've done enough tests to be able to range your score and its lower, and if you already got your goal score then I don't think it would look good to have a drop. In my opinion it…

Thank you so much for posting this! RC is my worst section primarily because of time and inconsistencies!
-
Also keep in mind that in the end it's your Final score that matters. Now I'm not going to say the others don't but if you were to knock out a 170 then admissions and write an addendum explaining a little bit of the situation you'll be fine. Just f…
-
I agree with @bruingirl1205 because you don't actually have a score right now go ahead and keep the score just so you know how you did. I took in December as well and I had the same thing happen, scoring right around the same thing and quite honest…
-
I agree with @"Stevie C" take some time to go through the curriculum and aim for June/September. Take a few months to go through it and then join in the BR groups for June/September when you're taking tests to supplement your studies. Gives you plen…

@svjava23 if it helps I'm aiming to take the LSAT in June and then go from there after I talk with my admissions team. I'm doing it for one main reason and if you're familiar with the movie Chasing Mavericks it makes a lot of sense. We all approach …

@jennilynn89 I agree with Daniel! I'm in the same boat as you, I bombed this test and I took in October 2015. It's been a long/distracted road for me and I've been pulled in a bunch of different directions but I highly recommending trying in Februa…
-
Awesome! Looking forward to this!
-
@bruingirl1205 and @jennilynn89 I feel you guys' pain. This was my second attempt and I had routinely been scoring in the mid/upper 160's with the occasional 170+. I did great up until the break, overall RC has been my worst section and the other p…
-
@NotoriousLRG I agree with @"Cant Get Right" that BR is your biggest weapon in your arsenal right now for both LR and RC. As tedious as it sounds take the time to and "Fool Proof RC" as in your notation strategy and everything. Nicole Hopkins had a…
-
They're both dead on Pacifico's Fool Proof Method is incredible! Highly recommended!
-
I'm glad I'm not the only one. I didn't have an experimental LG I had an experimental LR but I was devastated. Normally LG is my best section but that was a disaster, really thinking about cancelling because I know I'm going to have to retake.
-
I got wrecked by those LG. Normally I do fairly well on them but between the watercolors and the trade buildings I'm definitely going to have to retake. Trying to figure out whether I should cancel or not. Nice to know I wasn't the only one who tho…
-
@poohbear I'm in the same boat. I missed you guys too much! Count me in!
-
@"Cant Get Right" that's terrible. Although RC is my worst section, I would LOVE to have 2 LG sections if possible but only time will tell!
-
Congrats! So happy for you!
-
@mikhail11 If it helps I did a couple of different things when going through the curriculum and it vastly helped me retain the information. 1) Go slow through the curriculum: This was probably the single most important thing that I did going throug…
-
Great tip @nanchito!
-
@AstralCzarina I think the important thing here is that you have a plan with this. Absolutely I would recommend the Ultimate+ if you could afford it, with all of the available resources in it that have been added it's easily worth 10x what they're …
-
Thank you 7sage for everything that you do, I agree with others on here, this is definitely the best community, LSAT products I've ever seen!
-
@combsni First of all before I say anything I hope you ending up proving all of us wrong, and have no problems. Depending on your other sections it is totally MATHEMATICALLY POSSIBLE for you to hit a 165. Just simply get a perfect score on logic g…
-
Congrats @Sheri123 I know you have put in a ton of work into this and no one deserves this more than you do! Enjoy Chapel Hill it's a really pretty campus and don't be a stranger!
-
@twssmith thank you very much for all of your kind words. But it's really a testament to @"Nicole Hopkins" and the rest of the Sages for creating such an informative thread idea. I'm glad it helped you and if I can help in anyway please don't hesi…
