Never back down, never give up eeehhhhhhh-mazing. For the dream, the stream and the EH-Team. When I got my LSAT score I cried, I was PT-ing in high 170s but had a panic attack the night before and got a 168 with 3 hours of sleep. I got immensely depressed after taking the LSAT a part of my identity was ripped from…
…I’m incredibly pleased with my cycle. When I first started studying for the LSAT, I was convinced few schools, particularly those near the top of the rankings, would be interested in a 40-year old with several significant health challenges, so I applied broadly. I studied for about a year, and took the LSAT twice to…
I started this process in February of 2020. I studied for the LSAT for about 6 months (about 2 months of serious study and 4 months of occasionally taking a PT) and went from a 156 to a 167 using only 7sage PTs and free stuff from Khan Academy. It has been a long time coming, but I am glad I did things the way I…
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…

ME: small liberal arts college in southern US, philosophy major, social justice minor, ncaa athlete D3, student body president which placed me on a lot of academic/social/trustee committees, passionate about the outdoors/sports/my college/learning, felt like I did a good job of displaying myself as well rounded,…
Take the gap year. Take 10. Study like a monster for the LSAT.
…I wasn’t feeling confident so I signed up for the self study 7sage in 11/2020. I sat for 01/2021 LSAT and landed a 156. I took a month break and then signed up for 8 weeks of tutoring leading up to the April 2021 LSAT. With my 15 sessions with Kerry (LSAT Maven/ElleSAT tutoring) I landed a 169. They also helped me…
…this process, here are some tips based on what I learned: LSAT This was the hardest part of the process for me. I studied while working full-time, so earning a 169 is something I’m really proud of.- I finally got the score I wanted once I managed my nerves. The key for me was mentally separating the LSAT from my…
Do not be afraid of a gap year! I was so close to settling with my LSAT score and applying to schools I was less excited about. It was scary to leave the education system for the first time, but it was absolutely a positive experience, gave me time to study, and helped me save some money for law school. My outcomes…
…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.…
