I agree with a lot of these comments to not cancel, as it raises more questions. Plus, if your next score is 10+ higher than the first one, it at least signals that you're dedicated.

You'd need to note in your file that you'll submit a newer LSAT score; they'll put your app on hold until it's submitted (i.e. schools will see your updated score if this is the route you take, so you don't need to hope that they see it). You can w…

@PercyRECS02 said: Risk/score aside, is my chance of admission significantly lower? I've been studying and doing PTs all year for the upcoming cycle. I also did my first attempt way back in June for the last logic games since I studied for it.…

Hey! I definitely understand your concern, especially since everyone emphasizes that LSAT PTs/questions are a scarce resource (and it's true!). Short answer is that I did not complete all sets for each question type, but I did complete the CC befor…

You can take the PTs on Law Hub and manually input your selected AC on 7Sage afterwards. This is available using the "convert" button on the digital tester. The downside is that you'll miss out on 7Sage's time analytics (i.e. how long it took you to…

You can explain, but focus on the facts of the situation rather than trying to justify your grade.

I kind of agree with the above comment. It's a bit risky applying with only one shot at the LSAT. Submit now if you're 100% confident that you'll be fine spending $$ on apps without knowing your only score. The benefit is that it speeds up the proce…

PT136 S4 Q6 - this is a weakening question. Although the correct AC doesn't directly state that the sample size is too small, this AC does demonstrate that small or unrepresentative sample sizes are way to weaken an argument. I've definitely seen t…

Adding on to this comment ^ It's a good idea to check the 25-50-75 score distribution. Median is usually what everyone focuses on (for a good reason), but also check out the range from 25-75.

You should retake in January only if you're confident that you can commit to studying. If you go into the next month knowing that you have limited time to study and no study plan to ensure that you're consistently and effectively studying with 2 job…

PT 86 (section 1) and 70 (section 4)

A small point increase can make the difference between acceptance and scholarship $$$. I recommend looking at the median and 75th percentile scores at the schools you plan to apply to and see where you fit in. If you're below median, an extra point …

Congrats! What did you do to push above 170 the second time around?
-
Score fluctuations are normal - remember that LSAC creates score bands (you'll always vary within ~3 points). For this specific PT, it's possible you had an off day, took a difficult PT that hit more of your weak areas, were out of practice, etc. Bu…

MBT and MSS collectively appeared around 5-9 times per exam when there was only 1 official LR section. Despite not being the most common question type, I still encourage working through MBT questions, reviewing the core curriculum if necessary, sinc…
-
This isn't exactly what you asked for, but I have suggestions on how to approach drills in different ways. One of the neat things about the LSAT is that you can take the stimulus for some LR questions and practice a different question-type on it. F…

Each law school posts ABA info from their previously admitted class on their website, so you can see the average age at matriculation. This can help inform you how much certain law schools might factor work experience into their decisions (e.g. aver…
-
First problem: Actively engage with mistakes. When you choose an incorrect answer, try to rephrase the AC in your own words or change parts of it to make it correct. Also correct your thinking, in that you think through the logic step by step to f…

I'm experiencing this right now with RC and understand the frustration. I'm going way too fast, skimming question stems and rushing through RC passages. I think burnout is creeping in and am trying to take a break from studying. @hfekete Have you tr…

If I understand correctly, you're planning to graduate a semester early and take the spring semester to study. It will be helpful to do something during your gap semester, such as low time commitment volunteering or a part time job - mostly because…
-
I agree with the above comment; make sure you're scoring in your target range before you take the January test. If you're applying for fall 2025, the added pressure of knowing that January is one of your last attempts before sending in your applica…
-
I was in the same situation at one point. 6-7 wrong likely means one, or several of the following: (1) the questions you get wrong are of a specific difficulty level (i.e. more difficult), which is exposing an underlying weakness in those question t…

That can absolutely go under experience. Taking a look at sample resume on law school websites might give you a good idea of the general overlay / where things fit on your resume. This one from Yale places research assistant right under experience: …

First month of studying: I drilled questions of just one LR question type at a time at easier levels. This helped me focus on each question's specific task without getting too overwhelmed by constantly switching between question type. Example: Day 1…
-
For each LR question type, I took notes on: 1) what my task is for the q / what the q is asking for 2) the common question stem wording for it 3) any specific question I want to review from drills that gave me trouble (e.g. PT_X_ Q_X_) 4) Mistak…

You may be in the obsolete version of PTs if you see LG. There's a tab at the top to navigate between obsolete and the current (which obv excludes LG, and adds a different LR or RC section). If you use the current format, it won't affect your calcul…

Both are valid argument forms. The CC lists these under the advanced valid argument forms lesson along with examples.

If you were applying to schools with higher median LSATs, it might make more sense to aim for a higher score. But for this school, your current score is within the range of the students they admit. Do you know the translation of above-median-LS…

This will require some analysis on your end for timing, BR, and (as the comment above states) difficulty level. Are you getting certain questions wrong because you're running out of time at the end of a section? Or just rushing through a set of part…
