  • If I were you, I would make the language a little punchier and more specific. Like for the first one, maybe say some thing like "As a child, I was held back in Kindergarten because I struggled to count. On July 15, 2018, I pass my last CPA accountin…
  • I'd also be glad to practice but am also taking in November
  • @aleland13 good tip! thanks! I am mainly interested in the waiver so I don't have to pay the app fees but super handy for the LSAT as well. I've already taken it with a decent score but was planning for a summer 2019 retake anyway, so maybe I'll go …
  • I was really hoping to pull a 170 but ended with a 168, which is just a point off my average so not too surprised, though of course I wish I had scored on the other side of my score band haha. If anything it does show me the test is quite consistent…
  • @"LSAT Warrior Princess" Wow I'm so sorry, that truly does sound awful and so distracting! It is unfathomable to me how the proctors can be so unaware and just rude...are they not given guidelines for their own behavior by LSAC? I'd imagine the…
  • @39845892535 said: It was about interviewing witnesses. Oh yeah! Man I wish I could remember which passage I found to be most difficult but I just can't haha.
  • I think the power plant and wetlands questions were hard for me too...but I have the absolute worst memory for LR questions. I've like blocked them all out haha.What were the RC passages - cooked food/teeth, sulfates/global warming, literature genre…
  • yeah real games was the one with WXYZ and the bonds. I had three LR as well...brutal just in the fact that it's so much LR but I didn't find any of the three sections to be crazy difficult. Hard to know how I feel about this test haha. Unfortunately…
  • Don’t freak out (I say, even tho I’ve done exactly the same thing). I’m alsi scoring in the high 160s, sometimes 170s and got a 163 the other day. And I’m taking the test tomorrow. Also if it helps, I found 176 PT to be quite challenging...I missed …
  • I don’t have much advice for you, as I’m kind of in the same boat though your scores are a bit more solid than mine, I’ve had 169s, 170s for the past 7-10 exams and and two mid 160s ...I’m also averaging -0/1 on LG and seem to have gotten RC down t…
  • How exciting!!! Congratulations!!
  • Thanks for your responses all @Cofife88 @"Leah M B" @Ohnoeshalpme It's just such a bummer to get a 173 last week and then immediately follow it up with a 164. In terms of identifying what is changing to cause these fluctuations ...I don't feel lik…
  • All of you soundtrack lovers, do you ever listen to "The Score" with Edmund Stone ? Comes on public radio stations...it is pretty sweet, he will sometimes interview composers and typically devotes a show to the work of one composer or to the score o…
  • @"Paul Caint" sounds like it went really well. Wooo for the musical theater connection!!
  • @"surfy surf" yes I just spoke to someone from Spivey a couple days ago and she told me this. I guess if you do sign up, you’d probably want to confirm that with whoever you’ll be working with. But yeah, save that money haha. On a more general note…
  • @"surfy surf" Just so you know, you can buy the cheaper package with Spivey and then upgrade to the full $5,000 package if you do end up needing additional help with scholarships or waitlists. The upgrade is just the difference of price between the …
  • I haven't tried rishi teas! I drink yogi teas quite a bit and I like some of stash's caffeinated blends (like breakfast in Paris). I'll have to try!! Bedtime routine is super important. I think minimizing screen time is huge, I need to be better ab…
  • @LSATcantwin Thanks! That makes complete sense. Can't afford to be missing the meaning of the questions stems at this point ... It was one of three questions I missed in the whole section and when I realized why I felt pretty silly!
  • So exciting! Did they give you any hints about when you'd hear something back? What was it like ?
  • @FutureSportsLawyer I can definitely relate. My original plan was law school right out of college or maximum one year in between. When I begin, I will have been out four full years, so starting at 26. Making that mental transition from thinking I ne…
  • This is terrible advice. Law schools definitely don't discriminate against those who "sat out" for a couple of years, especially if you were working or doing something during that time. The idea of transferring stresses me out. Like having to go th…
  • Try to view it as a blessing in disguise At least this year there is July and you don't have to wait until September!
  • GPA or no GPA, getting into a T14 is typically going to require a pretty solid LSAT score. I would say that should be your primary focus at this point. I think law schools just want to know that you are capable of performing at a high level and wil…
  • Since this thread seems to be full of high 75th percentile + scorers @goingfor99th @AllezAllez21 @"Seeking Perfection" @lTexlawz , what do you think made the difference for you to jump from high 160s/low 170s to the high 170s? Just intense BR? My l…
  • I think you should stay on the waitlist. If I were in your situation, it would be an extremely tough call to make based on hypotheticals...I too would have to wait until the actual moment of potential acceptance to really know. I think it will becom…
  • Pretty much everyone on here is going to counsel you to push your test date to September or later, which is very reasonable advice. However if you are absolutely tied to June for whatever reason, you likely realize you have exactly 6 weeks to prep.…
  • I think they would just need the CC transcript, so you potentially don't need to worry about it. Lots of students have taken credit in high school that they then got transferred and I've not heard or read of any one needing to send in high school tr…
  • Yes perfect thank you so much @akistotle
  • Hmm never thought about this. I think you would be fine if you were just holding it at a slight angle, not directly out in front of your face. That would probably cause the proctors to take notice, but if you just need to have your hands holding the…
  • @LindsMitch said: That's great to hear! I had a similar diagnostic score and am still working to break the 170s. Highest has been 169 but then I bounced back down to 165 Right now I'm just struggling to maintain a consistent study schedu…
