Personally I never got that good at games. I ended up getting a 173 with only doing 3 games and guessing on the final game. Mentally the section didn't jive with me -- but it took about 50 sections for me to get there. In the beginning I was really …
Between 7sage and the PTs themselves, I probably spent 1000 dollars. As a result of this and my effort, I was getting close to full rides from top 10 schools, and half rides from Columbia/Chi/NYU. I eventually also got into Harvard but chose not to …

since you got expelled, this is also a Character & Fitness issue. at a bare minimum, you'll be required to address this incident in a short addendum
This is inaccurate. You do not n…
Let's say you take again and get a 173... Harvard/Yale/Stanford might ding you for the 7 takes, but everyone else will probably still take you, assuming the rest of your application is good.
Changing your school list? Makes sense. You can try the T14 as a splitter.
Changing personal statement? I'm not sure how much your personality, goals, and experiences have changed as a result of the score.
If I were you, I'd be looking to get the …
You need to ask the registrar's office (at your undergrad) to release your transcript to LSAC. You also need to fill out the LSAC transcript request form (fortunately this is simple to do).
After LSAC receives the transcript, they need 2 weeks to r…
Congrats. I think it's really cool that despite lower PT results than you wanted, you still found a way to earn your target score.
173 is also the score I'm applying with, although it took me longer than 6 months to get there
By the end of my studying, it took me about 4 hours for the whole test. In the beginning, it took 10.
For each LR section, it started as 2-3 hours and eventually took less than 30 minutes.
It depends how many questions you circle and on your famil…
Scoring below your PT average is a common problem and doesn't necessarily qualify you for accommodations. Please apply if you feel you need them, but they are difficult to get when you've already sat the LSAT and scored above the average (around 153…
I wouldn't start out of order... but if for example you are finding passage 3 confusing, you see it has 5 Q's, then you flip forward and passage 4 has 8 Q's... then potentially do 4 before 3
Personally I do passages in order. For managing time, I s…

Thank you very much for your advice! Congratulations on the amazing score!!
Thanks!
I actually have one more thing to add: I stopped thinking negatively about my performance. Instead of saying "Damn, I went -5 on RC" I start…
If the grades appear on your undergraduate transcript, then I believe LSAC will include them in its calculation of your cumulative GPA
I don't think it's reasonable to expect adcoms to account for the relative rigor different study-abroad destinati…
There's no reason to be afraid of the clock. Sure, you could just work the section until the proctor calls 5 minute warning, but that's a bad idea. The clock is your friend -- it's giving you useful information that you can use to improve your pacin…
first time I took the LSAT, i thought i did horribly but it ended up being 169. That type of score may be below your target but is in the mid-range for most of the T14. glad I didn't cancel since it's still a useful score
You'd be better off drinking 2 black coffees IMHO. Red bull doesn't have that much caffeine and I'm not sure how helpful its other stimulant ingredients are. and unless you're drinking sugar-free then there could be a sugar crash
I honestly believe it will just be more painful. I don't think it will make a big impact on your score. First time I took the LSAT, I had no sleep and felt horrible the entire time -- yet my score was still just a few points below the average of my …

For most questions on LR, you read and emphasize the right things, think about those right things in the right way, and you get the answer relatively quickly. I find that if I don't get an answer in under a minute, it proba…
It's become an arbitrary cutoff. In the past, those who attended a T14 had a reasonable expectation of getting a biglaw job, but that is no longer true.
