I had have Narcolepsy. I didn't have any accommodations for the LSAT, as I had just been diagnosed. However, I'm in law school now, and I got my paperwork in place the 2nd week of school. I have a few key accommodations, but the big one to me is the…

You probably already know this, but just in case: I like to look at the applicant profile grid on LSAC to get a good idea of my chances for different schools. Here's what they have for Victoria (scroll to bottom) http://www.lsac.org/jd/choosing-a-…

On a related note, the first thing I do when starting a section is mark next to the last question number. The answer document has more spots than needed. I flip to last page and put a dot next to the correct number on answer document. I have such an…

I did about 10 LR questions and 2 LG. All untimed, and I didn't check my answers. I didn't want to shake my confidence right before going in. But, especially with LG, a warm-up helps me get in that mindset. I will probably do something similar when …

The school to which I am applying does not give a suggested length. I was referring to guidelines I've seen on 7sage and other resources. I wouldn't directly contradict what the school specifically says to (not) do.

I have the PS add on and it's awesome. Just having trouble getting down to the suggested 850 words. I'm at about 1800, down from 2200. Thinking if in and get down to about 1400 I'll just submit.

Missed last time, but I'll be there this time. Reading Comp somehow went from my best to worst section and more practice doesn't seem to be making much difference. Looking forward to this!

LSAT scores are weighted so heavily, in my opinion, because all of the other factors can too easily be manipulated in a way that does not accurately reflect the candidate. Even a high GPA in a rigorous degree program could be skewed based on the pro…

Thanks @Pacifico. Good to know and gives me something to think about.

I know that graduate work and GPA are not heavily weighted in the admissions process, but I don't think that a grad prof vs ugrad prof matters - as long as that prof can speak to your academic ability and likelihood of success in law school. I gradu…

Does anyone know if tests administered with accommodations are flagged so schools and admissions counselors know you received an accommodation during testing? I've considered filing the paperwork to see if I would qualify for an extra time accommoda…

I bought PDFs on Cambridgelsat.com and then had them printed at Office Depot. It's nice to have an electronic and a hard copy.

I was told that a 166 would get me a full scholarship, even considering my low gpa. The Dean of Admissions told me this when I met with her during my school visit. This is at the University of South Carolina. Of course, higher ranked schools have hi…

I got my score back, earned a 158. This should get me admitted. Still gotta do a detailed study of what I missed, but I was -4 in LG and -9 in RC. I am shocked I did this well overall, and especially in LG. -9 is the worst I've done in RC I recen…

I'm gonna take a PT Friday (I have the day off of work!) and see where I stand. I'm hoping the past few weeks of focusing on my weak areas shows up in my score. I'll reasses my current plan after that.

Y'all have brought up some good points. I was PTing leading up to October, but when the test didn't go well I thought it would be smart to go back and focus my efforts on weaknesses. What's the point in taking a test I know I'm not ready for? You a…

Thanks ya'll. I think her advice is sound for an untimed test (or a test I wasn't worried about being able to finish). However, the LSAT doesn't give you any time to waste. What I would do for even 5 more minutes!!
-
I decided to buy them all. I need something that I could use to drill the memory method etc. Once I'm scoring -0 on the old PTS I'll know I'm ready to move on to harder PTs.
-
Anyone have an idea what# PT has the rigor of modern tests? Like where do we see the shift in difficulty?
-
I would file a complaint. The LSAT is only legit if the integrity of the test is maintained. Even if I thought I did ok, I would file a complaint. It's the right thing to do.

I read this as there is no affect on the SHARES, but there was an affect on the overall market size. For example, one company might hold 50% of the market, and still hold 50% if sales descrease, therefore the market contracted, but that company's sh…
