…be your only focus while you are in school.- I began studying for the LSAT mid-sophomore year and took the LSAT at the beginning of my junior year, I did that because I wanted to graduate early and not take a senior year at all. I spent less time studying for my courses because I was spending time studying for the…

Admitted to Ohio State UniversitySpend 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.
Study with LSAT Demon, apply to a lot of schools, consider the total cost you’re paying not just the scholarship amount.
Hello fellow LSD lurkers! All apps were submitted between December 2nd and 8th. Started studying for the LSAT during the summer of my junior year. Sat the exam twice, highest score was September 2023.
Start studying WAY before your LSAT! I only gave myself ~3 months, which was not nearly enough. Take it multiple times. I recommend taking it once early on in the process to get the test jitters out/down and then retaking later once you have a consistent PT score. Request Fee Waivers! Most schools give them out, so…
…annual stipend) was a big plus :) I took the summer off to study full-time for the LSAT, and I think it paid off. My biggest pro was my GPA imo. In my personal statement and diversity statements I dug into being LGBT, working in a law firm as a legal assistant/paralegal, and my immigrant, Spanish-speaking girlfriend.
LSAT Demon is the way to go. Began studying in May, took the exam once in August, got my score, was done. Don’t just use the platform, listen to the podcasts & do it their way. I also talked to people from as many law schools as I could. I think this signaled strong interest in schools and helped me tailor my Why X…
LSAT Diagnostic: 150 (+19 increase in 4 months of studying) I worked full-time, so I used 7sage, studied for about 1-2 hours a day 5 days a week. Took PTs once a week, then twice a week as test date got closer I recommend stopping drilling and only taking tests at some point, I find over drilling can make you begin…
…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…
…school I applied to other than 2 non-ranking schools. My LSAT at the time was a 150. That disappointing cycle motivated me to transform my frustration into motivation to score as high as I could before the start of the current cycle. My study regimen allowed me to score a 169 on the Aug 2023 LSAT. Below, you will…
…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.…
Took LSAT in college when I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and was going through my pre-quarter-life crisis. Bought the score preview and took without studying to have baseline/backup. Got 168 but decided not to apply. Worked for 2 years- decided, actually yes I want to go to law school. which, yay!,…
…the narrative you craft can indeed compensate for a lower LSAT or GPA. I did not redact my LSAT at WashU. I did not write an LSAT addendum. I took the test twice back to back and got basically the same score twice even though I was PT’ing much higher. I studied for 7 months before I took the test the first time and…
