@Alex Short Thank you for your humbling response. You are correct to have revealed my flawed thinking. That mind set, in itself, is enough to prevent success. After having read all of these generous responses I am forced to admit that I deluded myse…

@Nilesh S Thank you for the RC recommendations. I'm so far from being able to succeed in your methods. I'm actually surprised I score as high as I do on RC, because it's not uncommon for me to read it and have no idea what the main point is... re-re…

@Marie4lawschool because the date of my Oct 2013 LSAT was early in Oct, I could take Oct 2015 LSAT. It's hard for me to give up, especially knowing that if I apply now with a 161, I could've done the same 2 years ago. I'll let you know how it goes.…

@Jonathan Wang I don't want to accept it, but because I have been unable to improve it, I've accepted that I'm a below average reader. I've tried the method recommended here in the full course, I've paid for the velocity LSAT RC course, I've used t…

I'm really regretting not participating on here these last two times. I forgot how focused and motivated I was the first time because of the community.
-
@blah170blah I agree. I haven't been partaking in the LSAT prep community and everyone "out there" tells me to accept the score and apply to lower schools. They don't understand.

Unfortunately, I know Northwestern won't happen this year... I missed their application deadline. It was before the February release and I didn't want to waste the money applying without knowing my raw numbers would at least get my application a gla…

My personal statement should be decent. I'm a first generation college student that worked and paid my way through undergrad. I've had a enough hardship to write a compelling statement. However, I'm trying not to resort to emotional appeals, though …

@emli1000 I will be sending out a few applications this week. Hopefully I can leverage some serious funding. Otherwise it's another year for me.
-
@blah170blah In regards to family and friends, that's exactly how I've been feeling. If I take it again, I honestly don't want to tell anyone... I'm sick of feeling the disappointment, albeit self-imposed, that comes with revealing the same unsatisf…

I've already considered the transfer strategy and I'm not confident enough in my law school potential to risk it. So I'm going to avoid that, unless I get near a full ride scholarship at good, but not top, school, one that I'm willing to graduate f…

Big thanks to all of you. I've been very depressed about this since December, even more so after my score was released last night. You've all been very encouraging. I'll probably retake in Oct 2015, ED at Northwestern, and go from there. I'll proba…

@ bonjoursm, that is one of the issues. My GPA isn't great. It's right at a 3.0. Though I have an upward trend, with my final two semesters being 3.5's while working 50 hours per week. So there's that. I have some decent internships under my belt, a…

I'm personally trying to decide if it's possible to make notable gains in just over a months time. I hit a 163 on the OCT 2013 LSAT. My anxiety was unreal of test day, even woke up with a migraine. My last 8 PT's were in the 165-172 range.... So I…
-
Really underperformed on the OCT LSAT. Ended up with a 163. I did the worst on what is usually my best section, LR- Missing a total of 16 b/w the two sections. I couldn't believe it. On PT's I was averaging around 170+ with -5 b/w both LR's. BR'd…

I'm waiting for my Oct score before I sell mine. Also I've never had issued with mine . It shouldn't reset itself. On mine you have to stop it and then hit reset.
-
K, You never know. Maybe you aced it. I feel the same as you . The more I think about it the more sick I feel. You did help me ID which rc was experimental , though. Thanks for that. I also had one question on that passage (probably the same) …

If I hit a 170+ Saturday, ill sell you mine .
-
^^^ same. lol

K, I don't think there's anything wrong with reviewing. Just avoid cramming. I.e. studying endless hours day and night. I don't see a problem with reviewing a few hours a day. To go off of CJ's analogy... Fighters still train up until the day of …

I work full time and lift 5 days a week. You stand corrected. Lifting is my escape. It helps control all of the negative side effects of intense lsat training.
-
It's experimental. It won't be outrageous, but perhaps bit of a stretch. Just look at the evolution of the lsat ... Nothing extreme . Even if it were , who cares- its not scored Yes check in by 8:30, test around 9., If you've been prescribed ADH…

Best of luck, Kerri. You're going to kill the test in December.
-
For LR 1. For the first 4-6 weeks, work without timing yourself. The goal is quality. 2. For every question that you do during that time frame do the following. A. Write down what type of question you’re being asked. B. Write a paraphrase of the …

Check out some of the TLS threads.... they have one by people who have scored 160+ . They also have 3 good articles by individuals that scored 180. I have found full length tests to be more beneficial than drilling. After awhile you start seeing p…
-
I wish there were an easy solution. All of my friends that have scored over 170 tell me the same thing. Just keep taking PT's and reviewing your mistakes- it's the only way. Some have developed the skill through their college experience and it com…

Say it's not possible... then what? You'd still be studying unless you choose to give up your legal dreams. You've made several posts, and you've emailed users that in turn responded to you, though you failed to appreciate the fact that they waste…

I've taken the last couple of days off.. I'm doing a PT in the morning just like I would on testing day. My scores went from 169,170,170,174, to a 165 followed by a dismal 160.... I don't know what else to do besides step back and breath. I work fu…

Yes," in order to" is a sufficieny indicator.

Every night I dream about solving lsat problems. Most of the time it involves struggling with an rc passage.... It's become a miserable recurring experience. Hahah 100% truth .
