  • @lilysssss said: On full PTs, I scored a 178 and 179 in my PTs and then was scoring slightly lower at 173-176, but now I’ve scored 172 twice in a row. I can see I’m capable of that near perfect score, but now I am worried about the recent decl…
  • They usually know, and in such a case the application is listed as 'incomplete'. Most schools won't look at your application until all of the required components have arrived, so you could send in your app now and have your LOR's come in later. The …
  • Most law schools have a way to for you to send updated materials through a portal or via email. You can just contact them saying you've had a change on your resume and you'd like to send in the new document. This is very normal. I'd do it asap thoug…
  • As I have understood it, an addendum is usually to explain something affecting the actual substance of your application, such as why you did not perform well for a semester in undergrad, ex. undiagnosed learning disorder impacted your grades in fall…
  • On principal I don't think it is a problem. I had a friend who graduated two years early as well and went to a T-16 at 19 years old. Since there was nothing in her academic record indicating maturity problems, she had no issue getting admitted. The …

  • Take a break. Its harder to detect mental fatigue than ohysical fatigue. If I studied too much I always started performing worse on my PTs. If you have been studying nonstop for awhile, take a 3 or 4 day break.
  • I am really sorry to hear this, that sounds terrible. I think it probably depends on your situation and specific accommodations? I personally had a much worse experience online /at home test than I did at a test center, but the test center in our ci…
  • 1) I started doing a more thorough BR process where I made a chart of questions I got wrong, why I chose wrong answer, and why the right answer was right. I did this over a couple of weeks and reviewed the chart regularly started seeing conceptual p…
  • I did the same thing too and everyone who looked over it said it was fine. I see alot of this when people quote conversations in their personal statements and are looking to capture the vernacular style of what was said in the convo. As long as it …
  • @"AlexLSAT." said: @madisonbt98 said: Due to the Supreme Court's decision this summer, this is no longer accurate at all. Colleges no longer have access to race demographics before admitting a student, and we will not know how that…
  • I don't think its too personal as long as you connect it to the "so what" question. What is the implication, how has it affected you and what did you get out of it that was positive/constructive? You seem to do that quite well in your response above…
  • @dsaleh21 said: If you had gone undiagnosed in undergrad and only received a diagnosis more recently, does that impact your chances of receiving an accommodation? No DSaleh21 it does not. You just need to take care to choose a qualified heal…
  • @juliettelee99 said: @laurengraves2001 @joraudins did you guys have 25 or 26 questions on LR do you remember I think mine had 25 and I only had 1 LR section.
  • @joraudins said: I had two RC with the first being more difficult than the second. I had the same issue with time on LG, partially because I read a rule wrong and had to fix a previous game. Thought the LR was reasonable despite a few hard one…
  • The other thing that is a huge mystery to me, based on reading the posts above, if you take the LSAT at home and get several unrequested interruptions from the proctor or proctor software, isn't that a violation of disability accommodations? My coll…
  • @cassie said: I quite literally had this same problem. I have never had an issue with LR timing, but I somehow lost track of time and missed the last 3 questions. I was in disbelief that I actually had run out of time lol I a…
  • Hi Ravinder, I would love to learn more about this process too. I am currently stuck in the mid 160s on my lsat, a good 8 points below my PTs. Thanks! Sarah
  • Hi Ravinder, Could I take a look at your checklist? Hearing you talk about your journey reminds me so much if mine (still struggling thru it!) Thanks so much!
  • I have never had a problem atleast finishing LR so I was shocked that on the Oct lsat I basically ran out of time towards the end and quickly guessed on the last 4-5. I am super dissappointed because I have spent 80 pct of my time this month studyin…
  • Congrats!! Can I ask what you guys mean by low GPA? 172 seems like a great score. I too have a lower gpa (splitter) and I'm getting scared now....
  • My city ran out of on-site testing spots so I had to sign up for one in a small town two hours away. It turned out to be the best thing ever. I tried taking the online LSAT in April and had to cancel my test halfway through because three proctors lo…
