None of the options listed, unless you think you’re going to have some issue with the digital administration (I believe it’s mandatory starting in the fall, though). As I see it, June is not enough time to really nail the test. It sounds like you’ve…

Congrats man! This is what’s up! Big things!!!
-
I'm also sorry to hear about the grades. While I know that it is a blessing to be in the position you're in and not having to worry so much about grades because of (a) prestige and (b) monetary assistance, it is still hard when your grades don't sat…
-
The latter (discreet jumps with periods of plateau). Also, you should think about these in scoring bands or ranges. You might start out PTing with scores clustering around 152, then jump to those clustering around 158. Then you might jump to those c…
-
This is doable, as ppl said, because of the scoring band in which you fall right now. However, five weeks of study means five weeks of study. Plan on really packing it in, especially since you’ll want enough spacing between practice tests. In genera…

The UGPA is really the thing that’s pulling this down. I would say that a 161 is not completely unheard of, especially at some of the the schools in the bottom fourth of the T-14 for an AA, but 3.2 is hard to pitch when it is combined with it. I’ve …
-
I don’t care what program you use, trying to make that significant of an improvement in such a short time is a tall task for anyone even if you had chunks of free study time. In a perfect world, you would sit out a cycle, buy some better test prep m…

Congrats on all the investment and hard work!---Love outcomes like these
-
Awesome!

@Lawschoolhopeful-4 That’s not necessarily true. Some schools mention that you should offer an explanation of large disparities (including score jumps). I believe that UChicago is an example of this. I myself got asked about this in an interview wit…

I suspect that it will make little actual difference in terms of URM boost, but it might make for a more interesting diversity statement. Anyways, I think you should always go with how you actually identify. It’s tricky here since I assume that you …

Congrats on a great score!
-
Yeah @"Leah M B". It is really an unfair feature of the system (my school didn’t have A+’s either). It really allows one to negate the effect that any B+’s might have on your overall GPA. Oh, well...
-
This would probably be explained in terms of scalar implicature, within linguistics—but things are tricky with this case, as with finding the right principles to decide on cases like whether in saying “Scott has three children” the semantic content …
-
Same as the above. RD is by and large the way to go for anyone, URM or no. Of course, one could make an argument that the point applies even more forcefully to the former case since—all other things being equal— you have more chance of being admitte…
-
Hmm... I have a tip which doesn’t apply here, but can be useful to someone in the future.—Sign up for two tests during a cycle that you can use, without issue, for applications in the relevant cycle. Then, make sure that you have enough time before …

Are they shelling you? Are they causing you headaches with causal reasoning? Are they sneaking in a modifier that is seemingly unimportant in the passage which distinguishes between two answer choices?

@blljhnsn35 smfh.

In that case I would try to shave off a decent chunk on average (say, a min and a half) and get really technical about your skipping strategy (if you aren’t alread). I’d do a lot of times drill-work (if different lengths) to at least try to get fast…
-
What’s your timing looking like?
-
I have no first-hand experience, but from what I could tell on various forums last year there’s a significant percentage of test takers who have no prior history of test accommodations for their recently documented need. Take it with a grain of salt…
-
Try doing timed individual section drilling and set your timer to 32 or 30. Bare in mind that this is only after you have your strategy (including skipping) fairly subconscious. Doing this really helps with speed and, in turn, helps with full PTs at…
-
Oh, one other thing.--You'll probably need more than 2-3hrs every weekday.
-
Anything's possible, but my thought is "no." I would have said "definitely not" if you were looking at a different score, but I assume that there are some quick gains to be had from 136 as opposed to the high 140's/low 150's. Still, you have to bear…
-
That is some grind!--But it does indicate how much time people should allot to studying for this thing (which feels thankless at so many points). But getting this outcome feels all the more meaningful after what you've endured. Congrats!
-
Not (2)!--It's too soon to guarantee the kind of improvement you're looking for. Either (1) or (3) depending on your aims.
-
Awesome score; celebrate!
-
I'm curious as to why you decided to take the test four times over only a year-long period. The best advice I could give you is that, if you do decide to retake again, please do not take the test within the next six months. I understand that this me…

Apply early, and kill it!

Ah man—this is awesome news!!! Big ups and good luck!!! Enjoy Law in the the loop!!!
