I started at a 153 on my diag in jJnuary... got up into the 160s... then got a freaking 153 on this. How is that even possible???

[AllIn1212]

I HAVENT GOTTEN MY SCORE YET.

Can anyone speak to whether they think the curve was generous or harsh? I know it's all going to be bullshit guesstimates but I'm grasping at straws here

I'm thinking generous. I bubbled in D for 5 questions on RC and still got > 175. I did feel really confident about all the other sections but still.

Shine on, you crazy diamond!!

I scored 6 points below my PT average I thought i didn't do my best but I didn't think it would be THAT bad. I'm pretty sad right now

Sorry, Abbey. You're a sweet person, and you'll do awesomely in law school!!!

Thank you...but I don't know. This all makes me wonder if maybe the universe is telling me to go a different way with my life...twice now I scored below my potential...

A guy in the December sitting scored a 160 his first time without studying much, then studied his butt off and scored a 160 again. Then he did other stuff for a year, and studied a little again, and got a 170. Don't give up!!!!!!!!

This is quite probably the most encouraging thing I could read right now.

Bombed, really wish this wouldn't get sent anywhere, crap:

[nwin23]

First time taking it.

Diagnostic got a 155...studied and took multiple practice tests, Kaplans 10 week course online, total studying time of 4 months...

157.

ie, don't use Kaplan. Nah, I'm not blaming it totally on them, and I'm glad I just stayed about 155, but damn, I felt so confident taking that test, I thought 160 was possible.

Shine on, you crazy diamond!!

Thanks! My internet is really slow so I can't keep up with all the updates very quickly but I hope you're happy with yours too! Also, you have been so encouraging and kind to everyone in this thread so thanks for the positive vibes all around. To those who didn't get what they wanted, I'm really sorry to hear it but don't give up!!! You're all brilliant and lovely people and I appreciate how positive and supportive everybody has been throughout the wait. I would be happy to have all of y'all as colleagues wherever and whenever that may be.

167... guess I'm not going to GULC

Why not? That is around median. Low GPA?

yea got a 3.1 cum undergrad gpa. I was hoping for a 175 to make up for that

[Li'l Sebastian]

Spivey, if you're still out there...I know you recommended we email our pending schools if our score increased...mine went up 4 but I'm not really necessarily happy about it...do I still email if the score isn't that impressive?

A 4-point jump is huge though!

It's still unimpressive though idk what happened.

Yes, absolutely.

Good luck with the rest of the cycle, everyone

[AbbeyS]

How do I figure out what's best for me though..? I'm clearly it good at decision making

[stego]

When do we get to find out the responses and which questions we got wrong? I got a 168, an improvement but not by as much as I was hoping for.

You don't.

You don't.

Because it's an undisclosed test? I saw this on my previous two takes. So I just have no way of knowing which sections I did well on.

Yup

[stego]

Well, darn. I feel like they should at least tell us how many we got wrong on each section. Oh well.
