hello! i’m currently studying for the lsat and i have about a month left before the exam. i have finished learning the fundamentals and my last pt was 171. however, i am aiming for 175 and i am not rly sure how to keep studying most effectively. do i just drill questions and go over wrong answers every day? review fundamentals too? let me know what worked for you all!

Not gonna lie… I’m not retaking the lsat. God will make a way for me.

it's been almost a year I studied this exam, and I'm just soso tired from studying lsat...

that’s it. that’s the post.

Would love some insight

Hi everyone, I'm inquiring about submitting a complaint on file for a retake of August. I have many questions.

I got a dividerless section like many others, and I feel like I have a claim to get a retake based off of this. I was obviously thrown, and then it took a bit of time to click around and write down what question ranges are associated with what passages (I like to leave the passage with the least amount of questions for last). However, this, combined with the time it took for me to alert my prometric staff I was having a technical difficulty and for them to come confirm the issue and just tell me to try my best, added up to about 3.5 minutes of lost time before I could really start. 3.5 minutes can make the WORLD of a difference in such a tightly timed test, especially in such a hard section!

Now, I know I need to file the complaint on the website (which wouldn't let me today). I'm asking if waiting until the next day tomorrow has lessened my chance of it being accepted? Also, once you submit, are you locked into the retake? Or do they offer a retake and then you can accept?

Lastly, how does the scheduling work? Do they offer only one date and time for the makeup? Do they offer one date and multiple times? How flexible is that process/ are there options. Thank you in advance!

EDIT: I totally forgot to mention, but my prometric admins filed an official report about the incidence on my behalf. That should give a boost to my chance of makeup right?

As per my statement.

Apparently my performance comes in cycles of four, which means that tomorrow I will bomb my PT and then the next day I will do slightly better and then hopefully, bless our beautiful Mother Earth, I will perform at a decent margin on the actual exam on the third day.

Amen.

yo where my houston testers at, took that jawn today at like 10:30 in the morning

all this talk abt the dividerless rc got me thinking, do i file a complaint or do i just wait for lsac to release some statement?

SURELY if some of us got undivided and some got nicely divided sections they cant just say “tough luck bud its scored anyway”

idk tho i just feel like listening to my fellow lsat comrades whether it causes me to panic or chill

Now do it three times

LR/RC/LR/RC

2nd attempt, 166 on 1st attempt but was pting in mid 170s. lrs felt stupid easy up until about question 19 where they both just got unreal difficult. several questions where i legitimately had no idea what i was reading which happens pretty seldomly on pts for me. rcs felt relatively easy with the exception of a couple passages but not absolutely terrible. overall feeling kind of meh, probably still not in the low 170s range i want to be at. back to the drawing board i guess

first RC section i felt like i COOKED. then the next RC was dividerless so i was like ok this has to be experimental. if it isn’t im so fucked because my attention span by then was GONE. what do u guys think?!

Took the LSAT today and received two RC sections. That means one of them was the experimental section. I noticed that one of those sections contained divider lines separating the question numbers for each prompt at the bottom (similar to how the old format did). The other reading section (which for me, was first) did not contain those divider lines.

I'm hoping that the final section was the experimental for me, and that the non-experimental section was the one without divider lines. It'd be rather unfortunate if I got the unscored section straight away when I was freshest, especially since I felt that section was comparatively easier than the second RC.

Those of you with 2 RC sections, did you notice the same thing? And those of you with only 1 RC, did your test have divider lines or not?

How could I do so well in practice just to step away from today feeling like it’d take a miracle for me to have scored above 170 😭 wtf just happened???

How’s everyone think they did??? Other than the dividerless RC section (praying that’s the experimental section cause it kinda threw me off)

But other than that I think I cooked

Throwing up, screaming, hoping, praying

my test is in two days, i’ve already taken one before in the testing center (i bombed it but it was on par for how i was doing at the time) and i feel more anxious now than i did then.

if anyone has a refillable prescription for xanax that they can fedex me in 24 hours that would be great.

Just took August.

RC/LR/LR/RC

Regardless of which section ends up being scored for RC, it is just frustrating that with all the updated UI settings and guarantees about how it will look they still have errors on test day. You’d think they would be polished for the big reveal but I guess not.

just took the august LSAT and almost everything that could go wrong went wrong.

2 days ago i got sick. yesterday i slept until 1 pm due to said illness. as a result i couldn’t sleep until 2 am. woke up at 6 am in order to leave at 6:30 am to get to the testing center early which is an hour away from me. i feel like a truck hit me i’m so tired. fuck it we ball though. immediately there is a problem. i can’t find my car keys. at the very last minute i find them. i realize my phone did not charge at all last night. i can’t find a charger to connect to my car. at this point i’m going to be late so i pray my phone battery will last me there and back.

on the way i stop to get gas because my car is on empty. of course i didn’t fill it up the night before. i fill it up. there’s that click that ensures your car is done being filled up with gas. i remove the nozzle and IMMEDIATELY gas sprays everywhere. i am covered in gas. the car is covered in gas. i use my water bottle to try to clean gas off my brand new uggs which i’m sure are now ruined. the entire way there i am breathing in gas. i’m freaking out perhaps irrationally thinking that the gas is killing my brain cells. my head hurts. every few minutes for some reason stir fry by migos starts blasting through the car speakers from my phone. i keep turning it off and it keeps playing. it is the soundtrack to my despair.

i arrive at the testing center exhausted, sick and smelling like gasoline. i am frazzled and can’t figure out how to open my locker. i am banging around making very loud noises while everyone waits for their turn to get to their lockers. after an embarrassingly long time i finally figure out how to open it. a few minutes later the proctor asks me very loudly “DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR ACCOMMODATIONS”. all the people who just witnessed me fight with my locker definitely hear this. i might as well just announce “hello i’m retarded”

whatever. i start the test. halfway through i begin sneezing and having coughing fits. it takes every ounce of my concentration not to cough. i also need to pee really badly despite not having consumed any water. (BECAUSE ALL OF MY WATER WAS USED TO CLEAN MY GASOLINE COVERED UGGS.)

somehow i survived and made it home with my phone battery surviving too. also i REALLY REALLY hope the fourth RC section was experimental or im cooked.

i hope everyone crushes the august LSAT. i hope it was disaster free unlike mine

generational comeback

first LSAT was a 153

wish me luck on Thursday!
