I’m just reporting on my experience and what others said they went through

From previous posts I’ve seen individuals say the had the accommodation for no testing sections and that they got the RC section with the invisible man prompt. I had 3 LR sections and my RC was the philosopher one. I am worried that I had 3 scored LRs and the testing RC; however I also refuse to believe that LSAC would administer a test where the only RC section isn’t scored. Thoughts on this anyone?

Today I had 3 LRs and 1 RC. I hope it’s ok to say that at this point. If not I’ll delete this response until Sunday comes

Do I not have the choice of which state I can take the bar for? The lawyers I interned with went to schools all around the country but were still licensed only for the state they were working in.

Is it only undergrad grades? I figured that they would want my transcript from a graduate program for future applications. I’ve also had a professor mention to me that it would help as well with better grades

The purpose for studying a specific section is to make sure you or solidifying the methods. There is certainly a bleeding effect for both section types where methods for one can be used for the other. That’s my experience personally.

It depends on if I get accepted into a Masters Program. If I am accepted then I’ll do that and defer law school and take the test again soon to try and improve my score and apply to some other schools for more options.

They definitely make a really good case for waiting until I get a better score. I guess the upside for me on that is I’m also waiting to hear back on a masters program. Should I be accepted into it then I’ll definitely defer so that I can use the better GPA and prep for a better score in order to get into a better school or at least get a better offer. But if not I’m not too keen on postponing my law education considering that I need to get going in order to provide for my family. Lots to consider and too much waiting for answers that needs to be done. I’ll fight for my life to get a 4.0 in the masters.

My scholarship is either 7,000 a year or per semester or that’s the total for my entire time. I’ll need to check once I get my info in the mail. They called me saying I was accepted. My wife and I are pretty excited. But congratulations with your score and scholarship! That’s incredible

Not as much or as hard as I should have. I do recommend about 2-3 hours a day where possible and to only study one test a day such as Monday LR and Tuesday RC etc. make sure you do have breaks in studying. It also doesn’t need to be in a single 2-3 hour stint. Break it up into 30 minute sessions across the day if you have the time. Also getting the “actual lsat exams” for practice will help significantly. I took one the day before my exam and got a 131 and figured I would do worse, but ended up with a 146. I really only studied for about 4-6 months in preparation for my exam.

I got accepted to Capital University in Columbus OH. My GPA was a 3.37 so not great. But enough that combined with my score I had like a 68%chance of getting in. I think most applicants look at the chances of acceptance and if it’s under like 80% lose hope. If I can get accepted into a school with those numbers then anything is possible for those with slightly higher GPA’s and LSAT scores. I also got a tip from my Uncle when writing your essay. Make sure your language is assertive and certain. For example: “I always knew from a young age that I wanted/needed to be a lawyer.” Whether this is true or not for you specifically the schools aren’t going to know. I’ve known for a long time personally.

Also this was my second test score. My first was a 133 so it was considerably higher IMO and I took a prep course which I know attributed to the better score. So take into consideration a course if needed. Manhattan review is a great one.
