@trees1234567: Sorry to hear the cycle has not gone how you hoped :(

@manifestT14acceptances: I got it on my first try! I took a course and felt like I underperformed on test day with a bunch of tech issues and such

Finding a quality tutor took me from a 147 diagnostic to PTing in the high 160s/low 170s

I had done the Princeton Review course over the summer last year but I ended up scoring just a 151 on the Aug LSAT that year

@trees1234567: ok im super excited for you to take it after studying then it's gonna be so good

ValleyH

13:33

but having that one-on-one attention and being able to pinpoint my weaknesses was such a blessing

@Ijustwannagetinman: I know I just did not want to start a firestorm debate lol

At 3.83/164, raising that LSAT to school medians will hopefully change a lot. Schools hit their medians by taking lots of splitters (they could not fill their class with above-both applicants) - it's a very different situation than applying below both medians

(Lots of splitters and reverse splitters)

ValleyH

trees if you're looking for a tutor i could help

@manifest well I studied for a while in my 2 attempts, but feel like my class was not the way for me to make progress (I was PTing in the mid 170s on my second attempt and so it was a bummer to not improve my score at all) but also thank you all!! @jb I agree - I feel like the WLs show that the rest of my app was where it needed to be but I needed an LSAT at/much closer to school medians to get myself to an A (I'm out of messages so writing an essay here)

I got into HLS while being below both medians and nURM. I even got Harvard’s first ever full tuition grant! I wrote a masterclass guide on what did on my LSD profile, this is me paying it forward for all the great information I got from here and Reddit.

@trees1234567: if you were PTing mid 170s then that’s more indicative of test anxiety, issues with test week routine, or test day issues

It sounds like you grasp the material

manifestT14acceptances

13:42

@trees1234567: ok that makes sense! i only asked because sometimes people with higher diagnostic scores find that tutors actually don't help them very much because they actually already ~know~ most of the material they just need to grind it, when I looked into becoming a tutor it seemed like a lot of it was focused on helping people who like really just didn't understand the LSAT. having a tutor would def not hurt and i mean depending on your home life/how many pre-law people you know, just having someone in your corner to talk to about it would be helpful to.

*helpful too whoop

trees1234567

13:43

@wasp I agree - I certainly have test anxiety! @splitter that is such a fun guide; I am going to save and read it @manifest I feel like having a tutor will help me get over the hump on the highest level questions and diagnose some issues that I cannot seem to put a finger on!

manifestT14acceptances

@trees1234567: that makes sense! best of luck!!

Honestly tutors/prep books can only take you so far. Once you know what each question type wants its all about grinding material and deep personal review
