FYI I've decided I'm going full throttle; I'll regret it the rest of my life if I don't give it another shot

@"Dillon A. Wright" said: There will be more admissions webinars to come! That's good to hear; I have a solid personal essay, but it does need work. Especially now that I got my score back....
-
Also, is there a chance this same webinar would be offered at a later date?
-
@"Dillon A. Wright" said: All webinars are free. Ah, I'm a dumb-dumb. So, if I purchase this Admissions starter package, I can watch it at anytime at my convenience?

@kazrah said: If that is your dream, I am of the opinion that you should definitely go for it. Shoot for the moon, then work backwards after you've given it your best shot. As for PTs, did you already do the ones before 60? If so, I think the idea…

To clarify, is this webinar free?

@"Nicole Hopkins" said: You never get a second chance to make a first impression. It is best to apply with a higher LSAT score. September take will still allow you to apply VERY early in the cycle. I'm going to dig around for a fresh PT (I've alre…

@"Ron Swanson" said: @joecarterruskey First off congrats on the 169, that's an excellent score! Second, to echo what others have said, take some time to decide what your plan from here is. I would definitely recommend not ruling out the retake ent…

Let it ride unless you're deadset on Yale; even then you still may get in
-
You've only done 15 practice tests? Do more of those and you'll probably get the score increase you're looking for
-
If I retake and the the score is lower than a 169, will it hurt my admissions chances?
-
@notwilliamwallace said: First of all, great score. Congrats on scoring so well. You most definitely can. Apply with what you have, but do let the schools know that you are re-writing so that they know you'll be submitting a fresh new score. Tha…
-
My reasons for not retaking - I've already done LSATs 60-77 2x; never scored above a 171 on a fresh test and was stuck in the 167-171 range for 8 months, and feel like I'd just be spinning my wheels; I honestly can't imagine putting myself through t…
-
I'm honestly starting to lean towards not retaking. It'd be great to get into Penn or Duke, but I might do ED at Northwestern and get that 150k scholarship.
-
Can I apply in September with the 169, and then submit whatever my new score is after applying?
-
@Pacifico said: No harm in a retake. Prep for September and give it a shot. Do you think it will matter if I do certain tests for a third time? It's been 3 1/2 weeks since I've studied, so it's a decent break in time
-
P.S. I was also amped and stressed out of my mind for the test....now that I know what to expect, and already have a decent score under my belt, I wonder if I would do better?
-
I think spending a lot of time reading those magazines isn't a great way to study. Sure, it's good supplemental material, but at the end of the day the way to get better with RC is to do more RC passages, and there are plenty of them. Plus, redoing …

@stepharizona, do you know if law schools call all of your employers?
-
@CantGetRight, can you please elaborate? So you took the June LSAT and knew that you were going to take the September one? Why not wait and see what score you got first?
-
@"Cant Get Right", didn't you already take the LSAT?
-
Wait, how are you filling out applications already? Can we start working on them?
-
One more comment on my end - it's probably best not to even think about "what score am I going to get" or "how can I determine based off of my past practice tests what I'll get"? Show up, rock the test, and then worry about what you got/look for cl…

@stepharizona said: I think the -3 is a great anticipatory score as it helps people to analyze if they are really ready to take the test. I guess that's one way to look at it; if you'd be happy with a score 3 points below your average or whatever.…
-
@"Cant Get Right" said: The point I'm gathering from this thread is that, of course it can happen. But don't count on it. If you're PTing properly, your PT average is a good indicator of where you're at. If it happens its bonus points. Agree with a…

I've taken 50 practice tests under exact test conditions, with the lone exception being that as soon as I finish a section I move on to the next one instead of waiting around for the timer. I've been getting pretty stressed lately, but I feel like…

Some dude over at Top Law Schools Forum never scored above a 173 and managed to get a 180.

@"Nicole Hopkins" said: @BruiserWoods said: @"Cant Get Right" my best scores have all been after 2+ week breaks too, interestingly enough. @"Cant Get Right" said: Yeah, it wouldn't surprise me if that was actually kinda typical @BruiserWoods . T…

@"Cant Get Right" said: At this point, I say boost confidence and keep yourself fresh. If you still need to learn more then you’re not going to bridge that gap at this point anyway. Don’t let one bad section dictate your feelings. It’s not repre…

@BruiserWoods should I be warming up with more recent problems than 2003?
