@Journeyto99thpercentile said: @SuperMario929 congratulations on getting into your dream school! What would be your greatest piece of advice that got you our of your score plateau in the mid 160's? I find that 9 out of 10 times I am narrowing …

I don't think the drilling packages are there. Do you basically mean looking at what type of question you are weak on and doing that question in a drill to just get better at it specifically? Oh that's too bad! I know they reformed the system w…

@Older_LS_Applicant85 said: Congratulations on getting to Yale. Fantastic job! Did you visit Yale before accepting or was it always your goal to get there? And if you visited, what was your trip like? I wanted to ask you about drilling. I…

@"Merly Goodleaf" said: can you talk more about what drilling looked like for you? Sure! I should note that, at the time, most of my LR drilling was based on the drill packages JY had put together in the ultimate+ course. I'm not sure if tha…

@chloep983 said: Hello! Thank you for the advice! I wanted to ask how many times a day you studied? Sorry for the delayed reply! Early on, I would just spend as much time as I could going through the 7Sage curriculum. I would shoot to get 8-…

@lsat2016 said: As someone with a lot of takes considering retake, how many takes did you finally have and scores in them? What were you scores in individual sections of Jul 2019 take? Was it CBT? Sorry for not replying sooner! I don't check…

@AudieyaZ said: When did you get admitted? Are you starting the 20-21 L1 class or 21-22. I guess I am just perplexed by the timing of your announcement. When was your 175 LSAT score, was it one of the flex administrations? I am starting 20-2…

@lsat2016 said: how many total official takes and at which specific times? does someone taking 6-7 times affect result at HYS? I took five official takes. late 2014 (cancel), early 2015, then twice in 2016-2017 (don't remember the exact da…

@"Lej Not Leg" said: Congratulations! Thank you for sharing. Once you identified your weaknesses, how long did it take you to improve on them? And how? Did you go back to Core Curriculum / revisit general background on those question stems, re…

Thanks everyone! Still doesn't feel real. Happy to answer any questions people might have (most have been DMing me but I can also answer questions here so others might benefit if you want--happy with either option).

I got in in 2015 as a late-cycle applicant with a 166 and a similar GPA. Think you have a solid shot! Feel free to message me if I can help though!

I’ve done this and was re-accepted. Just explain the financial situation. Maybe say something like “after speaking to X in the admissions office and learning that it might be more affordable this year, I waited and am re-applying. I want to come to …

There wasn’t a court proceeding (I presume?) and you were not found guilty of a felony or misdemeanor. I think you’re all good not reporting it!

I took the January 2015 LSAT (might have been Feb?) and used it to be accepted to T14s that cycle. The only school that wouldn’t accept the score was Stanford. Good luck and I hope that helps!
-
So I'm in the "taking the LSAT too many times" boat now. I had some bad luck before with the tests, with just a host of things going wrong on test day, and knowing I never hit my stride. I cancelled post-test December of 2015 (had a bubble sheet err…

Schools don’t average your scores anymore—at least, according to admissions directors who have done interviews—so there isn’t much harm in keeping it as backup. If you get sick, or have a bad test day experience, it’s nice knowing this is in your ba…

You should be in good shape for NYU. I got into NYU four years ago (pursued a PhD instead) with a 166 and applying late. I imagine that a 173 will be plenty. If memory serves, you can also explain the GPA situation on the application. Good luck and …

Scores are confirmed as up. FINALLY beat my dream score by two points. I hope everyone got what they are hoping for!
-
Flagging this because the rule changed recently (at least, I think it changed recently? This is def the rule and I did it for the July 2019 LSAT), but you’re allowed to bring coffee/soda into the test center now. Just in case you prefer that form of…
-
Earlier is always better. However, I applied four years ago as a joint JD-PhD, so my apps took a bit longer to complete, and I technically only applied in March with a feb LSAT score. I think I applied to 10 of the T14 and got into about half of the…

The good news (as others have alluded to before) is that the section you are struggling on is the "easiest" to improve. I would go with the foolproofing method and tweak it to your needs. For me, I used PTs 1-20, and would randomly select which LG I…
-
Yes, because otherwise I find that I cannot sleep! I take the test around 1ish (12:30pm test prep time but the test never actually starts then), I'll take an hour or so break after, then do LG (easy and quick, warms me up again), then do the two LR…
-
I had the same issue. Big night owl, could hit the 170s on PTs but got mid 160s for the morning tests (never took the 12:30 until the July 2019 test for some reason). Taking the 12:30 was a huge help, end-of. You can try to train it, but if your bio…
-
You didn't forget everything, you just haven't optimized your brain for taking the test by taking three weeks off--and breaks are ok. Always make sure to warm up for an hour prior to a test (or however long you need--I like to do a LG section and ea…

@christinagomez7738 said: Wait I saw someone said we are allowed to bring in coffee to the lsat now. Is this true ?? I thought we couldn’t have beverages other than what can fit in our bag ?? As long as it’s not a glass or metal container an…

My recommendation letters are still sitting in my profile from all the way back in December 2014. You should be ok if you ask for them now and wait a year or two. Only things to consider are: 1) will something about the letter potentially improve be…

@CircleTurk said: Folks who took the test: If you were gonna retake it/ could go back in time, what do you wish you had studied/brushed up on before hand? I think this is a great question! I would maybe post it in a new discussion since I th…

I agree with the above advice regarding which tests are most like the "real thing" (i.e. PT 60 and onwards). I LOVE the earlier prep tests though (35-50). I think they are on the easier side and are a good ego boost for when you need it during your …
