Since I see so many older people answering, I feel confident to chime in as well. I start in the fall and will be 44. Yikes!
I heard a few previous people respond to this question by mentioning not wanting to look back with any regrets, and that's…
Thanks @MissChanandler . I see now that only applying to one school doesn't give me any leverage to use in negotiations, but I really only had the option of going to this one school, so I didn't see the logic in applying elsewhere. I didn't consider…
When I would sit and study for hours on end, I'd sometimes need a break just to get up and move my body. I remember thinking that because my time was so precious, I could either go for a quick run to get the blood moving, or I could clean my shower …
Similar to what KeepCalm said about Sudoku, it's not lsat specific but I like to do the New York Times crossword puzzle. There is a sense of keeping time as the stopwatch starts as soon as you begin, and there are always interesting words to learn w…

This reminds me of the bizarre, bizarre case of Dan Mallory that The New Yorker covered recently.

Right? That guy was a piece of …
thank you all. And thank you @FixedDice for the encouragement, I agree. Being truly excited about a program that they offer and rank really well in, I think shows that it is a compelling reason to go to them. @oshun1 your comment made me chuckle bec…
@MissChanandler said:
Reasons to want to go to the school don't have to be directly related to the school. For example, is it in a location that you really want to live/practice in? Talk about that. Do you have any family ties to the area that…

You have proven that you can do better. No one knows why these types of outcomes occur. I say you get back to studying. You can do this. Don't settle. Who wants a lawyer who is willing to fold easily when things are lookin…

Truly hope nobody gives up on their dream simply because this test has proven to be a more arduous undertaking than we expected. There are plenty of really inspirational stories on 7sage from people who started in the…

@1Science1Art, if I were you I would wait and apply next cycle. I am kind of in the same boat with the LSAT I was Pting between 159 and 165 and I got my score back and it was a 154! I was shocked because I have never PTed th…
@JRose1210 said:
I am also in the same situation and it really does suck. I was scoring 10 points higher on practice tests and bombed the LSAT again. I’m 31 years old, a mother, and a full-time employee & I wasn’t sure I wanted to test aga…

@1Science1Art thanks for sharing your story. I experienced the same result. This was my second time writing and once again I bombed it. I am so great at being terrible!! I even started to look at other programs because I was f…

You mentioned in another thread you are a URM. if that is so and you are a URM with a near perfect GPA I think you will be okay applying this cycle. However, if scholarship is important and you were PTing in the 1…
I am so crushed that I have been off my computer and this forum all day.
I really felt good about the test, in fact I told my husband that I felt the test opened itself up to me. I wasn't nervous, I was relaxed and was even having fun. I had pract…

Be sure not to delay any parts of your application. I took the test in December and it took me a couple weeks after scores were released to get my application out. I had plenty of free time to work on the applications, but I as…

I felt the same so I joined the gym. That night, the gym burned down. So then I bought some new books to occupy my time, but when I got home I realized I left them on the bus. Anyways- I'll take it as fate telling me to get st…

It's Monday morning post-LSAT and I am lost with what to do with my time since I am not studying. Anyone feeling the same weird way? Lol
Absolutely, it's a weird reality not having to study right now
So I showed up to my testing center yesterday at around 8 am, at the local university and (for whatever reason in my head) I assumed the test will be held at the law college on campus. I happened to have to be dropped off also, but I didn't think th…

Every LSAT test must have 1LG and any additional would be the extra or the experimental. So for those of us that only ha…

Section 3: RC
Section 4: RC
Section 5: LR
WHAT WOULD BE MY EXPERIMENTAL? Please explain??????
That's what I had. One of our RC was experimental. Which one though, IDK

I had 3 LR sections. We’re the one talking about athletes and PED and the one talking about penguins and temperature real?
Penguins were not real as far as a I can remember. The whole thing was a blur
