I always recommend against cancelling scores unless you are 100% certain you did worse than your previous score (i.e. you fell asleep and forgot to bubble half the test). Unless you are 100% certain you didn’t get a 149, then don’t cancel. Take the…

Amazing score and great advice! My own experiences echoes exactly what you are saying: I took the test three times, scoring several points below my average PTs on the first two takes. For the third test, I decided to study only on weekends and spent…

It's worth applying to your top schools but February puts you at a significant disadvantage for applying. No reason you should throw in applications late, see what happens, and then reapply if necessary.

@robotsoap said: Thanks. So I personally don't believe I wrote anything too "controversial." The real meat of my essay was my interest in their religious liberty clinic. My professor expressed concern that perhaps some of the faculty in the ad…

Are those truly the reasons you want to go to NDLS? If so, then absolutely do not re-write it. You need to be yourself and express yourself to the admissions committee whether or not it might be "too controversial."* Look at it this way -- if why y…

@VerdantZephyr said: @Climb_to_170 that is an incredible and inspiring journey. Great job, may your law school dreams come true. WOW — thank you so much. That honestly made me tear up a bit because it all feels like a dream right now.

No -- you supply your own paper (max of 5 sheets) that you show both sides of before taking the test. The scratch paper does not have to be in view of the camera but you yourself must stay in the view.
-
Don't cancel unless you are certain you did worse. I've heard cases of people considering canceling and then luck out and score above their average. Canceling should be reserved for situations of certainty only (i.e. you didn't answer 15+ questions …

No. Less is usually more with applications. You have good scores and three takes is not abnormal. I would only write an addendum to explain a large score drop.
-
PTs 1-5 are significantly different than the newer tests (PT 59+). PT 1-5 have questions types that no longer exist, two-part LR questions, different LG formatting, and no Comparison passages on the RC. All that being said, there's no reason you sh…

I agree with @"open ears" -- it's hard to give you an answer without an LSAT score. Your GPA is decent and shouldn't hold you back from getting into a T-14 if you put in the work on the LSAT. If you want to use your GRE though (I would not recommend…

This has happened to me in the past. I had to change the format of the test to paper and use the pdf format to fill in my answers based on memory to save my answers. It's terrible that this happened to so many people. Hopefully this can be a quick f…

@"Hans Zimmer" Let me know how it goes when you decide to sit for the test! Feel free to reach out if you need anything or just want to talk!

Here's what I think: It sounds like you are absolutely crushing it! You are putting in the work and seeing results; plain and simple. Don't overthink it. I also started at a 144 and had a ton of self-doubt for months and months. I still do honestly…
-
I feel almost exactly the same way. I've started taking more recent tests and I always do worse than older tests. Thankfully, the official tests have pulled from older administrations for the Flex, so it's not guaranteed you get newly written questi…

Hi there, I think you meant to comment this on a specific question and not on the general discussion form?
-
I did. I took my diagnostic on July 2019. I started studying seriously around August 2019 and have been studying ever since. I was studying full-time from March 2020 - June 2020 until I found a part-time job in a law firm. Before March 2020 and the …

Correct -- the November test is a Flex. I was required to put a testing center when I signed up for the October Flex too. I guess they don't want to update their system just yet. Just choose a location close to you. You will receive an email to sig…

Don't cancel. You already have a score on the books, so there's no benefit in cancelling a score even if it ends up lower. Law schools look at your highest score. If it does end up significantly lower than your first score (I'm talking 140 or less) …
-
I wouldn't separate them unless they ask you to in the application. In my opinion, it's best to minimize the amount of physical space you give to the "bad" parts of your application in favor of the good parts.
-
I've taken the FLEX twice and the composition has been 25 LR, 23 LG, 27 RC both times.
-
I'm interested! I PT ~170 with a 165 on the books. Let me know if there is still room!
-
Don't change your methods before the big day! Do exactly the same thing you do the day before you take a practice test. Trust me -- try to make yourself believe you are just taking another practice test. The more you stress about the importance of t…

Sounds interesting to me! I think it will really depend on how well you write it, but based on the concept alone I would say go for it!

Yes - the Reading Comprehension section is worth more on a flex. It is worth 1/3 of your total score on the flex vs. 1/4 on the regular test. For me, I finally started to see improvement on the RC section when I began reading every single day for a…

I would call LSAC and ask. I spent a good amount of time chatting via the microphone with my proctor as they took me through the required steps. Maybe LSAC would make an exception.

I took the May Flex and had a lot of trouble with the highlighter feature. It was extremely clunky and hard to use but maybe they improved it since then. I'm taking it again today and have been practicing not using the highlighter for that exact rea…

@lsat2016 said: anyone know which PT numbers are available in khan's free course? Hi lsat2016, Here's the list of tests Khan uses with their corresponding test number: Test 1: PT 66 (Exp PT 53 RC) Test 2: PT 68 (Exp PT 53, LR S1) Test 3:…

Well -- that took an unexpectedly racist turn.

Seems interesting but I'm a little concerned it will interfere with my ability to study and sit for the July 13th LSAT. At the same time, I do think it would be great to mention this in a "Why Duke" essay when the time comes. Thank you 7sage for the…
