Military paralegal with 10 years’ service, first degree GPA of 2.4 from 2012 and second degree GPA of 3.8 from 2022. I took the LSAT in 2009 and received a score of 159, and after a year of study while working, I took it again in 2021 with a score of 168. I genuinely feel that if I had continued my LSAT studies, I…

Here’s some advice other people told me that I’ve found to be true as the cycle went on: Studying for the LSAT always pays off. Invest time into it daily, no matter what, and it will never be wasted. If you consider the fact that a higher LSAT score invariably results in higher scholarship offers, you’re basically…
LSAT June 2022 168 -> November 2022 170. I spent about 5 months on total studying for the LSAT. Started out at a 154 diagnostic. I only used 7Sage and took around 30 PTs total. Personal Statement Objectively I’d say my personal statement was around a 6/10. I feel that it was fairly well written, but the narrative…
I got into Georgetown and was offered full tuition at a few schools with a terrible GPA and decent LSAT. I also had to disclose a misdemeanor, academic warning, and two gaps in my undergraduate degree to almost every school I applied to. My essays and addenda were polished, and I got positive feedback on them from…
Spend more time studying for the LSAT than you think. As long as you are still learning, you should still be studying. Take good care of yourself and take as much time off as you need between undergrad and law school.
…I decided I was going to go to law school in June, studied for the LSAT in July-August, and took the August-September-October LSATs, scoring a 171 on both of my last 2 attempts. If I had waited a full year, maybe I could have gotten that score up higher, but with my life circumstances, waiting wasn’t something under…
I studied using exclusively LSAT Demon and JurisPrep (one more for the software, the other for an LSAT class). These and getting as much feedback as possible on how you present yourself to schools is what matters!
I went into this blind. It was suggested by my parent in October 2020 that I try the LSAT and become a lawyer. I signed up and studied for about 10 hours and took the November LSAT. I don’t have a strong reason for being a lawyer other than I think it will be interesting (I’ve been exposed after doing a prelaw camp…
Take your time studying for the LSAT. It took me quitting my job as director at a non-profit, going part-time, and spending almost everyday studying for about 1.5-2 hours, mainly focusing on review. I used the LSATDemon tool to conquer the LSAT. Prepare your essays ahead of time and always send professional, cordial…
…higher than that (as I write this, it is a 3.96) Took the LSAT 3 times - 166, 170, 172. First time was during the court case, so obviously I had a lot going on that blocked my focus before taking the test. Second time was after only 2 months studying. Third was right around my PT average. I never took a Practice…

…should invest as much time as you can in achieving a high LSAT score (novel idea, I know). Seriously though, it’s always hard to talk about improving GPA and other softs, as everyone’s circumstances are different. But LSAT studying is something that I think everyone should really try to carve out at least a solid…
…new eyes and zero stress afterwards. **Do more rigorous LSAT studying for longer. **- Ultimately, everything worked out in the end, but I have been working full time for a top law firm for over two years and throughout my entire LSAT/Application process. This leaves minimal time and energy for studying. When I…
