I will be 36, 14 years out of college with a variety of work experience having nothing to do with the law. I teach high school and my future classmates will be much closer in age to my students than to me. Awkward...

@akistotle said: Hi @Brian_LSAT ! Unfortunately, there isn’t a way to see it. You have to put a PT into the Analytics to see the section difficulty. @"Return On Inference" said: You can just submit a blank scantron, go to…

@FixedDice Typo! I’m looking to see this info for individual sections that I haven’t taken as PTs or graded. So if I’ve taken PT68 and graded it, I see the difficulty of each section under LSAT Analytics. If I’m just using PT69 for individual sectio…

I’m in SW China so I chose to travel to Thailand instead of the centers located in China, but I haven’t heard anything negative about taking the LSAT in China. The entire experience is very standardized and I’m sure China is no exception. I would re…

@westcoastbestcoast said: I do agree that if you averaging in the low 170s on PTs, you should bring it up so that you can get a 175 plus on the exam. At least based on LSN, everyone who got a hamilton or near full tuition had 176 plus. 175 r…

@Kateryna I was destroyed by RC on my first official LSAT, so I made it my main focus for a while and was able to make great progress. I read the RC advice in both the LSAT Trainer and the Manhattan book. I think they both do a good job of highligh…

@PearsonSpecterLittUp I don’t see that having a significant impact, especially as soon as next year. It would also depend on what tier law school you’re looking at. The GRE is a big change because high ranking schools are accepting it, which in my o…

@"Seeking Perfection" I agree that the increase in the number of high scorers is not likely the result of a “Trump Bump” (apart from the normal increase in high scorers that would be expected from a larger applicant pool overall). Spivey mentions th…

@OverRatedUnderAchiever said: Anyone else read about "Ivy Day" yesterday? I know it's for those little undergrads, but their numbers that were released were very interesting. I also read the WSJ this morning & noticed that although the % a…

All else being equal, I’m sure a disclosed test is better than an undisclosed test because of the additional feedback you have in terms of what you got wrong and what you need to work on if re-taking. However, in this case all else is not equal. As…

One thing that I’ve done to deal with the stress of timed sections is getting really, really comfortable with the 35 minute time limit. I’ve done so many timed sections now that I know exactly where I should be at important time markers (which depen…

@westcoastbestcoast is asking some great questions. I dropped in here because “am I deluding myself” is a question I’ve asked myself many, many times during my LSAT journey. I’m in a similar spot to you- non-traditional, lower than ideal GPA, worki…

It seems like K-JDs are getting hit particularly hard in this more competitive cycle. Schools have the option of increasing their medians, taking larger classes, and/or focusing on soft factors like work experience in composing their classes. I’m no…

Something that I rarely seen discussed when the question of when to sit the exam for the first time is brought up is the possibility that the experience of sitting the exam could have a positive influence on future takes. Carlos is wondering whethe…

@Emily2122 Thank you! I gave up on my real diagnostic because I just couldn't do the games. After going through the core curriculum my first PT was a 163, then it took me 8 months of studying 20 hours per week and 28 more PTs to reach a 174 PT avera…

I think it depends on how much value you place on Yale vs other options. If Yale is clearly your top choice, then a first-take 173 is golden (congrats on a great score, btw). If you would be tempted by something like a Hamilton then there is a good …

I feel like I’m just waking up from a fever dream (probably because I have a pretty bad fever right now). After scoring below my PT average in September and December and not feeling great coming out of the February exam, I actually scored 1 point ab…

@LSATSniper I signed up for my LSAC account in December 2005 and just achieved my goal score in February 2018. Good luck! To answer the question, I took it in September and December 2017, February 2018, and will take one more crack at it in June (4…

@"lindsey.e.mitchell" I'm in a pretty similar situation to yours. I'm signed up for September knowing that I still have a lot of room for improvement, and I'm already signed up for the December exam. I understand the argument that a law school has …
