I studied my BUTT off and ONLY inproved 1 point on my LSAT?

Question

please tell me what else can i do? i really would like to attend law school this year. i know that the lsat is very important, but surely there must be a way? do you really believe that your score indicates how well you will perform in law school? i am so sad right now.

i took a prep course, studied the games bibles. you name it i did it.

Answer 1

Best advice for you: Relax and don't be sad. You're being too hard on yourself over one point! One point is an improvement!

If you are going to push yourself this much over a standardized test then it's not worth it. Yes, the LSAT is going to be a factor in your admissions, but it's not going to be the only factor.

Have you focused on your law schools of choice? I ask this because many students will apply for law schools where they think they will have to have the BEST name in education, and while that is important to some extent, those who apply should really focus on which school is the best fit for them.

If you are not making your ideal score for your target school, then take a prep course, and give yourself time time. Don't be too hard on yourself. You may want to call local attorney offices and speak to one. Just call and see if they are willing to talk to you or not. Sometimes feeling out the people who work in the field will help you with your decision and they will tell you, as will any other law student, what is going to be most important for your success in law school.

I think what one of the respondents wrote is extremely important. LSAT has little to do with success in law school, other than to prove that you can handle logic skills. What is going to be important is how you balance your time with studying, with classes, and with down time. Regardless of your score, your success is going to really rely on time management, maturity, and your level of commitment to the program, as well as keeping aware of opportunities that will come up during law school.

Answer 2

yeah that happened to me, except for a different test called ACT, sometimes i think it's a scam, cause you know, we have to pay a certain amount of fee everytime.My friend took the ACT 4x, her first score was a 21, then 23,25 and finally 30. But the awk thing is that she didn't even study for the re-exams. So the point is keep on taking the tests, theres nothing to lose, besides, money.

Answer 3

No, your LSAT score has nothing to do with how well you will perform in law school. Trust me on this, since I have been through it all. My best advice: practice the logic tests until you think like the test makers. After the LSAT, go back to being a normal human being.

Answer 4

what are you studying?
consider taking one of those lsat prep courses.
i believe that you need the score to get into law school.
i have no idea if it really tells how well you will do.
find out from others how to refine your studying techniques
to help improve your scores. you don't say what you did
or what materials you used.

Answer 6

I think you should just relax, don't freeze up, LSAT is mainly about logic and reasoning so don't second guess yourself, your first hunch is the most reliable, and study on section at a time, don't just skim. quiz yourself, take practice lsats, get a tutor, just take it slow.
