Same happened to me! (I got a lower score than on all my PT's). Totally demoralising.
-
Same happened to me, although I pretty much knew I wasn't ready for the June but due to external pressures, I took it anyway. Glad to see I'm not alone. It's hugely demoralising, but I am trying my hardest to keep in mind that we learn the most wh…

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.

Would it be very odd to have the headmaster of a private school who I know well and have volunteered for in the past write a reference? She has provided job reference for me, as well.

@nathan.gencarella i took it in London. I had an experimental lg section.
-
Yeah for the public defenders. And I'm from Fresno!
-
Just took the London exam. Had 2 LG so 1 must have been experimental. Lg is my weakest section so was not happy with two sections of it! I ran out of time for games definitely did not do well, However I found LR and RC to not be that difficult. Hard…

@Sheri123 - the exam is tomorrow, June 7th. Funny that it's a day later than the American exam, not sure why.
-
I skipped RC and that is my highest section.
-
Taking tomorrow in London- thanks!!!!!
-
Hi! I live in London (am an American) and I will be taking the LSAT in London tomorrow! What type of advice are you looking for?
-
@stepharizona @ethan.ames - thanks for the help. I'm honestly so much further than I ever thought I could go on this test. I remember getting an LSAT book many years ago and being completely scared off by the games. I opened the book, saw the game…
-
Thanks, all. Probably not a great question to ask right before the test, but I can handle the truth! At the end of the day, this test is a means to an end for me. I'm not aiming for a top tier school (the school I want to attend isn't even in the …
-
@Pacifico I'm asking because a lawyer friend of mine insists people's scores go up a few points on the actual test. Not sure where she got that info, probably just anecdotal.
-
There are 5 sections?!! I don't think I knew that. Is 1 experimental?
-
@"Nicole Hopkins" because he doesn't go to court, as I said AND he does not have a visible wrist tattoo. I am concerned with small visible tattoos that may not be covered by a jacket. I mentioned my brother in law because there are some people wh…
-
Lolz you guys are funny. My brother in law is a HLS grad and practicing corporate lawyer and has full sleeve tattoos and front/ back. He doesn't go to court though and a long sleeve shirt covers them all.
-
I do think there is such a thing as 'overstudying.' It blows my mind that some on here have been at it for over a year! How long have you been studying?
-
@"Cant Get Right" - yes for sure, having strong reading comprehension skills helps so much on the LSAT, although it's somewhat discouraging that the section I haven't studied for is my strongest!! haha
-
I'm in the same situation as you (2 kids, job, house, etc.). I skipped the advanced logic, but spent a lot of time on the basic logic. My husband took the LSAT, got an amazing score, and is an 'advanced logician' in most respects, so he helps me o…
-
Yes, thanks!
-
I'm not a lawyer, but I"ve been to grad school for another subject and already incurred a hefty debt. I'm also 35, so you can say I've been around the block a bit in terms of paying debts, etc. Here's my opinion: The 'I'll just work a few years …
-
What's particularly discouraging is I got a 150 this test which was the same as my pre curriculum score! On the last pt I took I got 155 with a br of 161. I ran out of time for the lg this time which was a big drop but I also didn't do very well in …
-
@"Cant Get Right" - That's an awesome book! I am obsessed with reading books about social justice and mass incarceration. I also recommend 'American Furies: crime, punishment, and vengeance in the age of mass incarceration' and 'Hard Time Blues; h…

@"J.Y. Ping" It's an honor to get a comment from you. I'm not a stalker, but I LOVE YOU.
-
Since law school apps are down 50% from a decade ago, and schools are pretty desperate for students, I'd think you have a chance. I also think all of the odds you have faced may appeal to admissions commitees, but the LSAT score will be important. …
-
Nevermind, found it! Thanks.
-
@"GSU Hopeful" - Yeah I know, but it's just a range and I'd rather hear from individuals, especially those who have used 7Sage!
-
I'm taking the LSAT in London in June, as I'm an American expat.
-
I would rather stab myself than be an associate at a big law firm. I'm hoping to work at either a small firm or for the government.
