I'm applying within Ontario as well, and you should double check the admissions sections/LSAT requirements on some of the schools' websites. For writing December/February, Ottawa U says:
Please note that if an LSAT score exists in your file, you…

Thanks for all the great advice so far - I started doing some method of reasoning questions this morning and used all the tips above. What I've found most helpful for me is using my pencil and underlining key words/terms so that something that start…
Thank you so much for taking the time to help out @"Cant Get Right" @Euthyphro @akistotle @LSATcantwin @Nunuboy1994 ... sorry it took 2 months to respond, I abandoned 7sage for 2 weeks and then completely forgot to respond. Much appreciated!!
Thank you everyone for all the incredibly helpful replies so far and sharing your experiences/what worked well for you. Based on what everyone has said, I think I'll sit in for the December exam just to get the experience being in the real test sett…
I have this predicament as well but remember that OLSAS asks you for your sketch & verifiers - that could be your place to delve deeper into ECs, job experiences, etc.
A lot of schools recommend that you spend less time explaining what you did …
Thanks for the responses! I'm not applying for U.S. schools - only within Canada; I know the Canadian schools I'm applying to accept the Feb. LSAT, but say that it can put you at a disadvantage because so many acceptances have gone out already &…
I'm not sure if every law school will view it that way though- someone in my immediate family wrote their personal statement on their battle with depression and anorexia, and how the Canadian government failed to properly fund rehabilitation centres…

You guys are looking at this all wrong. Is this stressful? Maybe, but it's not the test, it's the meaning and implications of it's effect in your life that make it stressful. I actually enjoy it because of my perspective …

@sillllyxo said:
also of course depends what you are aiming for!
And yeah - the top law schools in Canada are not as competitive as top law schools in the U.S. -- I have a great CGPA/LORS/ECs/resume, so I'm aiming for between a 160-165. The …
