What a sad thread. Personal opinion on the subject: I took the Oct 2015 test before I was ready and cancelled the score. The whole experience sucked from start to finish and I regret it. That's not to say it didn't help me gain perspective on how t…

First of all, have you taken any of the 70s tests yet? You should absolutely be familiar with modern LSATs before sitting for an exam. The test changes through the years and such changes might account for why you were thrown off so much between tak…

Giving myself a bump. Has anyone experienced something like this or have insight to offer? Thanks for any advice!

Conventional wisdom is that you average out your 3 most recent exams, and your actual score will be +/- 3 of that number. Most experience a slight drop for one reason or another. I'd highly recommend taking a few PTs in the 70s before sitting for t…

This is a pretty common reaction to the newer PTs, that's why it's crucial to be really familiar with them by game day. As other have pointed out, this comes through doing really good BR. I also agree with the sentiment that the LR is what throws …

Just talked to a rep from LSAC, she was actually really nice. She said that the white strip won't be an issue as long as the proctor can look at the picture, identify it's me, and that it's attached. She specifically said that the small white strip …

In June LSAC moved the date and time of the accommodated test ~2 weeks out from what I recall. Expect the unexpected with LSAC
-
I just checked my picture and realized I'm also in this situation. I don't know why they would not include in their emails that a previously accepted June photo would not be sufficient for use in September, especially considering that June was the f…

@CalPoliSci Haha I definitely agree with the speaking weirdly thing. I sometimes mentally catch myself speaking in "lsat" language, or I'll recognize conditionals when I'm sending a text or something. Pretty crazy how we've trained our brains
-
This is tough to gauge because everyone is different..but I'd definitely say that being good at the lsat will help you read more effectively, and understand what's important and what's extraneous information. I was also a Poli Sci Major and in thos…

@badgalriri Yeah I've found that the attitude on TLS tends to lean negative, with most posters being committed to the T14 or bust outlook. There are plenty of successful, wealthy lawyers that did not go T14 and do not work at corporate law firms.…

Yep. Pro tip: make sure to do your game board set ups on the 2nd page of the LG. Keeps the boards closer to the questions, less running back and forth between the 2 pages
-
@badgalriri On the basis of how you described your numbers you don't seem like someone who would be in a bad position for scholarships tbh. Yeah maybe not a full ride, but I think it's kind of dangerous to have a "full ride or bust" mentality if y…
-
My question back to you is if your chances of getting a good scholarship are looking bleak, what makes you think you'd have a good shot at the Northwestern ED? I don't mean that disrespectfully, it's an extremely competitive scholarship at an elite…
-
Oh, and I'm making sure I've really worked through the 70s tests. This is my 3rd take, no point in leaving anything on the table
-
I'm taking the Sept. test. Personally, I have looked at the time between my June take and now as more of "staying in LSAT shape" rather than killing myself. I'm sticking with timed sections (1 or 2) on some weeknights with 1 full PT per week. Someti…
-
I'd say that early-mid 50s were some of the easiest games in the sense that they were very conventional. If you have the techniques down you can definitely go -0/or thereabouts pretty consistently. They get more difficult/unconventional beyond that…

https://7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/comment/35352 Check out this thread! Seems like it'd be helpful in answering your question
-
This is a very common reaction that many test takers have to newer tests, I also felt the same way on LR when I transitioned to the newer tests. It can be really deflating to come a long way then stumble so close to game day. Theoretically, the que…

@stcaitmokyu The "tried and true" method for Necessary Assumption questions is negating the answer choices. If you negate an answer choice, and that negation completely destroys the argument, that's the correct answer because it shows that the ans…

Ehhh idk this is a tough question. From what I understand, your GPA that gets calculated is the one that goes towards your undergraduate degree. For example, if you did half your schooling at undergrad A, transferred and finished at undergrad B, you…

@ashleysummer877 Assuming you aren't just spam for that site, it's a pretty low/dishonest practice to buy an essay to then pass off as your own. Not to mention, I can't imagine any law school accepting you if they were to find that out (spoiler al…

According to this website: http://law-schools.startclass.com/l/24/University-of-Connecticut... UConn's 25th and 75th for LSAT is 153/158 while GPA is 3.13/3.62. With a 2.6 GPA I'd say you absolutely need to shoot for a 160+, that's a given. If you…

@citizenkane I took the June '16 LSAT and did the bulk of my studying during my last semester of my senior year in college. Idk how your class schedules work/what courses you need to take, but it was incredibly helpful for me to have days off during…

It's pretty common for people to find the newer tests more difficult after getting used to earlier exams. Just give it time and really put the work in on your BR..you'll eventually adapt to the subtle differences. I think it's really important to r…
