…wished I would’ve at least shot my shot. Biggest advice is study study study and pump that LSAT score up as high as you can go. I took it 5 times total (wrote an LSAT addendum for my applications) and moved from a 144 -> 153 -> 163. Also, try your best to apply earlier than I did!

Admitted to University of California (Hastings)…Your brain is a muscle, it needs time to rest between study sessions. The LSAT is a mean test. It’s learnable though. I had a 10 point increase from my diagnostic score after about 2 months of studying. My 158 was all I needed for my goal school. Shoot your shot.- Don’t make the admissions council’s decision for…
Take the LSAT 2-3 times until you score at or above your LSAT PT average. Give yourself 5+ months to study for the LSAT as well! Apply in September if you can, and definitely before Thanksgiving.
…also going through it for support. If you’re working while studying for the LSAT, give yourself at least 5 months to study. Im getting ready to retake it right now. When in comes to personal statements, I think less is more. My strongest essays were the versions where the word limits were shorter, so I cut out a lot…
…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…
…probably lying through their teeth anyways. (2) Start studying for the LSAT early. If you’ve been out of school a while, you might need months or even years to get back into the swing of studying every day and taking exams. APPLICATION PHASE (3) Apply broadly, but figure out WHERE you would SERIOUSLY go. Don’t just…

Apply early, and study hard for the LSAT
…not just the freshman attitude “I dont wanna be a snitch”. LSAT: A huge limiting factor to my application. Study hard with purpose. It teaches you the interworkings of how to think for law school. Don’t see it as a chore, but also do not let it eat you and take away your entire life. Once it starts hurting your core…
…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…
Studied using 7 Sage for 6-7 months. Took August LSAT. Didn’t write any extra essays.
LSAT 157 GPA 3.92 2023–24 cycle
Attending Loyola Marymount University—Los Angeles
The LSAT’s biggest hater. If you’re like me and are terrible at studying for and taking standardized tests, don’t let your lack-luster test taking abilities deter you from law school. Work hard in undergrad, learn to read and write well, keep your expectations realistic, and you can absolutely get into law school!…
Starting to study in June for Aug, Oct, or Nov tests in preparation of attending 1L the following year will be really tough. Everyone says start early and give yourself plenty of time and it’s really the truth! 7Sage, BluePrint, and LSAT done right (tutoring) was the best for me. I wish I had started using the LSAT…
After three attempts at the LSAT, my lsat score is a 160. I tried my best, all that I can with this test and am just gonna let fate bring me the results. As long as you tried your best its all good. I went from a 129 diag to a 160 which is 31 points higher. First half of my studying (8 months) was done while in…
