It looks you are asking about going to a Tier 3/4 school with a 149. Unless you had a 4.0 with undergraduate degree it is unlikely you will get into a quality law school with a 149. In fact, it is much more likely for you to get admitted to a pred…

As others have said there are very few law schools where the letters of recommendation are not a requirement. I have also been out of school about 10 years and there is no way that I would ask an old professor to write a letter of rec either. Fran…

It has been awhile since I scheduled one on one but I had the same experience with trying to join study groups. When someone creates a post you see many people expressing interest but few of those people actually show up for a study session and eve…

The stimulus could actually be assuming either one and answer choice E would still be correct. If the stimulus was assuming that they were the ONLY purchasers, answer choice E would be pointing out actually they aren't. There are other people purc…

The original stimulus is making an assumption which is that individuals have been in the past and are currently the primary purchasers of cars. Answer choice E is calling out this assumption by pointing out that actually sales of cars to individua…

I am a fellow splitter, though with not as extreme of a split. The first thing I would say is that keep in mind that law school admissions tools like predictors don't work well with splitters as we really are wild cards. Last cycle I got into scho…

You are very welcome! And thank you so much for the nice compliments, they really made my day. It has taken a long time to feel like I have this kind of understanding of the test. When I started studying one of the most frustrating parts was that …

There were multiple variations of the test and every variation will have its own curve. Powerscore does a review of each test administration and predicts a curve. You can listen to their June LSAT podcast to get this information but it sounded lik…

When I first learned lawgic I diagramed a lot. I think it is good idea to learn to diagram well so that you really learn this at a deep level. That being said, I have studied for a long time and seldom write anything down except for on logic games…

I fully agree that we should expect and plan for medians to rise, particularly in the top 50 or so schools. Not only was there a dramatic rise in high LSAT scores this last cycle, and an overall rise in the number of candidates but the US News and …

When you apply for Law school you apply on the LSAC website and each application will ask you if you are applying regular admission or early decision. If you are choosing early decision and have read all the terms and conditions for that particular…

@Saaamuel- Remember that there were multiple combinations of the test. I had the same games section as you as you but who knows about LR/ RC. Powerscore already put out their podcast and I know for the particular combo I had they predicted about a…

LG was a difficult section for me to improve in. My BR was consistently -0 for awhile before I finally figured out how to match my timed scores. I would suggest looking up Pacifico's fool proof method as a I know a lot of people have been successf…

Early decision and applying early are two different things. Most apps open about September. If you apply early and are accepted you still have the option to be accepted to other schools. When you apply early decision you can only apply to one sch…

These are very different questions types and also requires very different approaches. Mss questions are a top down question type meaning that the stimulus can support what conclusion. I treat MSS questions like a soft must be true. To approach thi…

None of the Flex or take at home tests ( which August on) will be disclosed. May 2021 was not disclosed either. For a disclosed tests you receive a copy of the test and answers as well as your raw score and what you missed. No one from May receiv…

I completely agree with this post and have found posting here to be a huge help to my own prep. I heard a statistic on an admissions podcast ( likely Spivey) that teachers score an average of 6 points higher on the LSAT. While we certainly can’t al…

I am repeat test taker and I can still remember walking out of that first LSAT dumbfounded. I didn’t remember a single question, I remember having a district feeling of wanting to run the entire time I took the test. I think it is somewhat normal …

Sorry to hear that you had an issue during the test. I would recommend following up with your complaint by Thursday at the latest. The retake is likely to be on Friday and you will want to make sure that you are able to get approved and get a spot…

Thanks for posting this! I am a very anxious test taker but I have been through multiple flex administrations now so I thought I would share some perspective. First, we all need to know ourselves and what does or doesn’t make us nervous or impact o…

PT 88 is known to be one of the hardest overall games section. Not that every game on its own is incredibly difficult but combined it made for a very difficult section. Each game has some twist or another with unequal distribution being the running…

This is correct and when you go through the directions with ProctorU they should confirm the time of 163 minutes. Make sure they do so and if you have any additional accommodations I would also confirm whatever those are at that time. Don’t begin …

I would make sure to read the terms of ED early before seriously considering it. Sometimes schools offer a set scholarship or will tell you what scholarship you would get before you are bound to their contract. Others require you to sign a binding…

Sorry to hear you have such bad options as an International test taker. But as you are more of a morning person I would look at taking it that next morning and register for a time prior to 8 am. Since I work full time/single Mom I do sometimes stu…

As others are saying, the scheduling times haven't even opened yet. But I am guessing you may be looking at that time period because of your own life personal commitments. My recommendation to is look at the possible days and times and move your o…

I have taken some Flex tests. For the tests I took there was a miscellaneous game for one of the games- look up the "shredder" game from October or the newspaper/reviews games from January. On another of the Flex tests there was a game that looked…

This is amazing! Thank you for sharing this update. Your explanations on questions are always spot on and helpful but actually it is your posts of your entire journey to law school that are hugely inspirational. It is definitely an uphill battle fo…

I also applied with the same LSAT score. I didn’t even get waitlisted at UCI. I am assuming your GPA is much better than mine but unless it is basically a 4.0 there is no way that WashU was a safety. There median is 169 and I would say that they …

First of all, congrats on the 173! Regardless of if you decide to retake that is great score. That being said, you are not crazy at all to consider retaking. Most schools will be going up 1-2 points in their LSAT medians next cycle. I know for a…
