First generation, community college transfer student, long distance commuter (50+ miles). I got sick with a chronic illness during LSAT season and did not have the ability to invest a lot of time into studying because it was hard to manage. Wrote an addendum everywhere - even if I was within the median range - just…

…save money!!! This is very expensive. Could have taken the LSAT in August. Felt super pressured to take it in May and only got to study a few weeks for it. I didn’t get through the last game and wouldn’t be surprised if the questions I missed were all from the games section.
…as you do that the sky truly is the limit! Below are a few LSAT and application tips I found to be helpful: Tips for apps Ask for those app fee waivers!!!! Often they will just send you one if you ask, others have you fill out a quick app but this will save you so much money in the long run- Have a few people review…
…similar stats, invest the time and energy to improve that LSAT to 170+. It unlocks so many doors. Wish I would’ve quit my job to study full time, but life goes as it does. Also, state schools will generally lowball you if they feel like they can get away with it. UKY did it to me; UTK, UNC, etc did it to others.…
…allowed me to have a somewhat successful cycle. Helpful LSAT Resources; Sure, I didn’t make a 170+ but I decided that I couldn’t sacrifice my mental health more than I already had…. I also don’t feel like its necessary to pay thousands of dollars for a course but it totally depends on how disciplined you can be with…

I entered the 21-22 application cycle a little unsure about my August LSAT score and whether applying with a 168 would enable me to accomplish my goals. After considering retaking the LSAT, I ultimately decided against it because I did not believe I’d be able to successfully study for the exam during the school year…
Invest into the LSAT prep and apply early. It is also okay to take a gap year, but remember to study!
Jan. 2021 LSAT Flex (considered retaking, as I would like to minimize debt - however, I told myself that I would be satisfied with a 170+ before going into the test and felt that I should maintain that perspective. My PT average over the 12 or so tests that I took leading up to the January administration was a 171,…

I ended up getting into my dream school, so my cycle ended up perfect for my goals. I could’ve done much better though had I retaken the LSAT. That would be my one regret from this cycle. My diagnostic was a 167 and I barely studied for my 171. (Well, and not taking undergrad grades seriously ). But hey, it all…
…go test optional in the near future, I’m anticipating the LSAT will still be vital for most law schools. Take the exam seriously! A dedicated 3-4 months of studying will pay dividends in the future. - But don’t take the exam too seriously that it impacts your self-worth. Your value as a human being has nothing to do…
