…is as follows: Do not underestimate the importance of the LSAT. I was scoring in the low 170s on PTs but scored a 162 on the actual LSAT and that was the last one with the logic games section which was what I excelled at. I left for grad school right after taking the LSAT but if I could have I would have studied the…
Plan to take the LSAT multiple times. There’s not a cheat code, study the test but also spend time reading dense and complex material and learning logic – you want to eventually be a lawyer, after all. You don’t need to apply everywhere. Don’t check this site 20 times per day like I did. Get help with your…
Start studying ASAP, apply as soon as you get your LSAT Score - don’t wait!
Go for the higher LSAT score and give yourself plenty of time to study for and take it! Write as many optionals as possible and make the case for how you are unique to a school given your experiences, interests, etc. ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ Give Wave
Very grateful for my cycle and results. I cannot recommend enough retaking the lsat even when you don’t want to, and studying differently if you weren’t thrilled with your initial results. If it is possible for you to work w someone 1:1, do it. LG was my biggest struggle (would’ve probably had a much easier time if…
LSAT - spend more time taking actual practice tests and studying with no distractions than reading advice on reddit or on here APPs - spend more time reflecting, rewriting, and talking to colleagues/mentors to make your PS authentic than reading advice and worrying same w recommenders - you know them, your…

9/6/2024 – LSAT Day! I take the LSAT at a testing center in two hours!! I’ve studied on and off since January due to school and life circumstances, but I feel good about the prep I was able to do with minimal resources. Took an RC section last night to prep my brain and got a -3, going to take an LR section this…
…of when I was applying (all from my sophomore year) -Took LSAT Flex in February of 2021 after 8 weeks of studying 6 hrs/week. Probably could’ve taken more time to study to get into better schools/scholarships but I really just wanted to get it out of the way more or less. -Applied to 4 reach, 4 targets, and 6 safety…

LSAT will plateau, breakthrough by building healthy habits outside of studying
…may not have had during my senior year of college. For the LSAT, I found that consistency was key. I treated my studying like a non-negotiable commitment but also made sure I wasn’t burning myself out and took one day off per week. I took it twice and went from a 171–>172 (lol). After the second try, I decided to…
…early!! no later than thanksgiving don’t waste money on an LSAT tutor. i used the powerscore bibles + forums + analytics to study and that was enough to get my 174 in one sitting even though i didn’t feel quite ready to take the test at that point (oops). tutors do not have secret knowledge and figuring out where…
…maintained my innocence which in a lot of cases can hurt). LSAT 171 Diagnostic->178 after a month or so of studying. Was pting 180 pretty regularly but during the actual test, the proctor interrupted for about 1.5-2 minutes during RC because my camera slipped and covered my forehead. Decided to not retake, as 178 is…

Advice #1: Take the LSAT as many times as you can (assuming you’re studying in-between attempts so you actually have a chance at a better score). I took it twice and without a doubt I had a much better cycle because of it. Advice #2: Apply early. I wish I would’ve applied right when applications opened so I would’ve…
LSAT: Took the last paper test in 2019, so my study tips are probably irrelevant now. Take as many practice tests as possible! Apps: Applied to most T14 and my state school/undergrad, where I was offered full tuition (didn’t include here for fear of doxxing). Didn’t apply to NYU because living in NYC was not my top…
