I’m checking status on here for a friend who is applying this year. I’m applying next cycle. I just put in consistency over a year and drilled into what I was weak in.

future-property-lawyer

17:05

@HideousWonderfulMongrel: games was / is my strong suit. I’m taking attempt 4 in June to try for 170. If games are weak for you dw about the LSAT until August. RC is where I miss points still and don’t feel qualified to help, but read for a general idea. LR it took a lot of drilling to notice trends in question types.

@future-property-lawyer: what program did you use to study? I am using blueprint, but the concepts are like not sticking. I am thinking of tutoring but its really expensive

i hope you get the 170!!!

future-property-lawyer

14:05

@HideousWonderfulMongrel: I tried blueprint initially but thought it was cringe and actually scored less than my diagnostic. I use 7 sage personally for games, I use the loophole book for LR, and RC hero for RC. So far it’s helped a ton. Diagnostic was June 2023 at 139 for reference.

hi all, anyone have any insight if applying without an LSAT score due to taking It in February vs waiting for the score(if I do well enough)and then applying would make a difference? SW said they would just leave the application on hold until the score comes in.
