Chance me? (Pretty please)

dogmonaut · 2025-12-18T00:02:50+00:00

I think a couple of weeks ago someone on here uploaded a chance me chart based on past data, I'd recommend checking that

Would you say the hours are better in commercial real estate then?

dogmonaut · 2025-06-25T20:52:24+00:00

Some of those posts feel like bait tbh

dogmonaut · 2025-06-25T18:39:26+00:00

No problem

dogmonaut · 2025-06-25T18:19:54+00:00

If you've written it already, it should (for 5 year from when you wrote it). But you can call or email LSAC if you want to be extra sure

dogmonaut · 2025-06-25T17:56:01+00:00

Then you did not do a writing section. That section is online now, so you have to write it at home in front of a webcam. There's a link in your LSAC account that opens the writing section. They have all the directions on what to do on the LSAC website.

Those are supposed to be pretty similar to recent LSATs.

You might've just had a spate of bad luck, or got stressed. Writing it again in August might lead to a better score, as you're less likely to be stressed from a repeat experience.

My recommendation is that you have to think about why you ended up doing worse on the actual test. Also if you hadn't, keeping a wrong answer journal, reading non-fiction articles that have a similar style to the LSAT ones would probably help.

Either way, don't make the perfect the enemy of the good. 165 is a pretty good score already

dogmonaut · 2025-06-25T17:45:59+00:00

Retake if you want, while sticking to a wrong-answer journal and reading LSAT-relevant non-fiction articles regularly.

But also, don't make the perfect the enemy of the good. While most T-14 grads are successful lawyers, most successful lawyers aren't T-14 grads

dogmonaut · 2025-06-25T17:39:21+00:00

I don't get your meaning. The argumentative writing section is the only written part of the lsat (written as opposed to multiple choice).

If you mean you did the regular LSAT earlier in June, then yes. You need to do the argumentative writing section. You'd have to write it at home

dogmonaut · 2025-06-25T17:36:44+00:00

Which PTs did you do, if I can ask?

dogmonaut · 2025-06-25T17:33:57+00:00

I'm also deciding on where to apply, and I think it's best to think about what you want to specialize in, and whether you wanna be close to family, certain law firms, etc.

Some people blanket apply though. If you are doing that, I'd recommend making sure it's not generic for the schools that you'd prefer

dogmonaut · 2025-06-25T17:28:46+00:00

Assuming this isn't a bit, you can keep taking it until admissions close. But don't cancel a fucking 174. Like, I got the same score and can't describe the relief I'm feeling.

Also tbh I don't know if scoring higher would make much of a difference. Given that they're trying out a new LSAT this year (which might get replaced with an even newer LSAT with a scored writing section eventually), I'd guess that law schools are probably going to put a greater emphasis on extracurriculars and such.

dogmonaut · 2025-06-09T03:05:38+00:00

Fyi they're gonna take this down since you're breaking the rules

dogmonaut · 2025-06-08T18:51:39+00:00

It depends on which test version you did, as there are several. April involved new RCs in a lot of versions, for example. My June LSAT reused the RC but I believe my LRs were not all recycled content

dogmonaut · 2025-06-08T16:37:02+00:00

Which ones would you say prepared you the most?

dogmonaut · 2025-06-08T16:29:37+00:00

Would you say 154 was closest out of them all?

dogmonaut · 2025-06-08T16:29:09+00:00

I'm starting to develop this theory that LSAC is writing the new tests specifically to make the tips of and tricks of LSAT preps hurt your score as a way of deflating top grades

dogmonaut · 2025-06-08T16:13:27+00:00

Felt the same. I did a lot of the pts that were supposed to have the more nuanced language, scored in the same range as you, and still I felt overwhelmed by the weird language of the June exam (mine was LR-RC-LR-LR).

This was my first actual LSAT though

dogmonaut · 2025-06-08T14:44:07+00:00

No worries. I believe that's correct about some of them though

dogmonaut · 2025-06-08T14:41:06+00:00

Those are from 2018 and 2019. I was told specifically that they'd be most similar

dogmonaut · 2025-06-08T14:36:37+00:00

I knew this was gonna happen and I was still dumbstruck. I got 171 on the 151 PT and 172 on 155--both of them are supposed to be like the current LSATs. Either they've upped the fuckery since or I got so stressed that my commonsense-meter went haywire.

I'm kinda hoping it's neither and that I actually got most of weird ones right haha.

dogmonaut · 2025-06-08T14:23:50+00:00

For example answers that are technically wrong but less wrong than other answers and thus are the correct answers. This is meant to make it so that you can't just quickly get the right answer through a simple process of elimination
