Going from below median to above median at most T14s is in fact a big deal

@standingonbusiness same, like the others I prepped for a whole year and after 2 to 3 months of consistent 174s on PTs i scored a 161 on my actually exam... Standardized testing is as much a mental health game as it is material. I regrouped and took a few months to really focus on my mental health and managing my anxiety and i ended up with a 169. Not my best, and im sure if i kept with it i could have eventually preformed as well as I was on practice exams, but it was good enough for me. my advice would be to make sure you make time to take care of your mental space.

I do not want to doxx meself too bad, but i have perfect gpa/application minus my 166 lsat - 170+ lsat is all that matters despite law school propaganda trying to get apps to lower the acceptance rate.

I’m missing some of the context but yeah scoring above or at a school’s median, even it’s just a one point difference in lsat, is enormous

I just survived the shitshow that was the August test and said never again

@CTCSH: i love u im praying for ur success

StandingOnBusiness

9:53

good advice, thank you. I should do that

[] ararara

9:54

Also it’s pretty normal to go from scoring 170s to 160s on the first try and it’s not because the real thing is actually more difficult but nerves

HomelyLyingMouse

9:54

@ararara: were discussing if someone who has a bad gpa to retake a 169

CTCSH

9:54

@HomelyLyingMouse: do not waste the RAM lol i am just taking lsat for me at this point, law achool dream is all but dead lol I figure fuck it, smart enough to grt those lsat scores but not on test day, might as well go become a poker millionaire

WhatItDoBayybeeee

9:54

a 3.8 is not bad lol

[] ararara

9:55

@HomelyLyingMouse: thanks I’d say depends on how bad the gpa is and which school it is also

lmaooo dude

it's me i have a 3.82

BarryZuckercornEsq

9:55

@HomelyLyingMouse: a 3.8x is not a bad GPA jesus christ lmao

TediousSparrow

9:55

3.8 is a stellar GPA, just not in the terrifying circlejerk of law school admissions

i just want a high 170s lsat score i would be able to breathe so much easier every day of my damn life

BarryZuckercornEsq

9:56

It's below median, yes, which makes being above LSAT median that much more important

CTCSH

9:56

A 3.82 to a school with a 3.85 median is like a 170 to a school with a 171 median - might as well be 120. 3.8 is great, but below median so might as well be a 2.2

Mountaineer99

9:56

as someone with a 3.83, 3.82 is trash the .01 makes all the difference

OvertReconditeSpider

9:56

@GloveDontSplitUMustAcquit: i did too. I did lsat for 26 months, took the real exam 4 times, did every PT and could not get out of the 160s

OvertReconditeSpider

9:57

[] ararara

9:57

@OvertReconditeSpider: you’ve had great results anyway the test is just a means to an end

SameiAm

9:58

got a 164, GPA is a 4.08. planning on retaking in june since I was scoring between 169-172 in the PTs two weeks before the test. still, if dont improve on the june test by much, would it be a good strategy to blanket the T14? kjd btw
