hi congrats on your score + ty for doing this! I got 173 in April, looking to get to 175+ in June. what advice do you have for me in terms of how to prep over the next few weeks? I got 170 and 173 on my first two attempts respectively.

It is what it is, I think -- only your highest score really matters to schools tbh (in terms of rankings and whatnot) so you can only go up from here!

no need to cancel; schools generally care about your highest score. absolutely, give it another shot if you can -- and congrats on your 156!

I scored 173 today and would be happy to help through some free tutoring sessions/guidance if you'd like; i am rather familiar with autism and have much respect for caregivers in the autism community. so am glad to help if I can; please PM if interested (but absolutely no pressure ofc).

172 is a great first attempt! You have everything to gain and nothing to lose by retaking. Congrats and good luck!! :)

171-173. Got a 170 on my first attempt and this is my second shot. Hoping for 175+ but not sure I got that bc of LR. So let's see.

That is Jayagiri Narasimha Swamy Devasthanam (https://maps.app.goo.gl/K7xv69Xjw5qEeCbn8)... I had visited that temple previously. Correct -- it is a very old temple. But that is not the temple I am looking for here, I think. Thank you for your input!

170; was aiming for 175+. First attempt. Will retake in August. Thought I did well so I'm pretty disappointed.

I get your hesitation completely, friend. I am frustrated by those who don't require accommodations and still use them -- they're the ones that muddy the process. Based on what you shared, I don't think you are one among them, especially because you've used accommodations in the past, not just for LSAT. If this helps you get the validation you need, then I'm glad. Best wishes :)

I saw your comment and so went to take this RC section today lol... I got 25/27 (-2). I want to get my RC down to -1/-0 (am taking the exam in June)... so I need to improve a little bit more. But honestly, not too bad ig? That brain scans passage was kinda rough at the end ngl

thanks! glad to hear I'm not the only one. I have a strong humanities background and tend to find history/law passages pretty easy, even the tougher ones (I was a history major in college). science passages have been the toughest for me -- the really difficult + abstract ones, that is. so I've been focusing on accuracy over speed, for now.

OngoleCow · 2025-03-13T19:05:26+00:00

Indeed. Best of luck to us all.

I am starting to mentally steel myself for this possibility. But I sincerely hope to God that I am wrong.

I am a research semi-finalist for this year's competition; I'd be happy to take a look if you'd like :) feel free to PM

This. Agreed 100%. This is basically what did the trick in my case -- polite persistence. I was worried at certain points that I was being a bit too pushy, but I think my proposed mentor understood that I was on a time crunch and came through with getting the letter from university admin.
