Hey ya'll. quick question.
Do the Cambridge sell modern question packets (2009+)?

The packets of practice questions games and passages I got from blue print only go up to 2008.

I got PTs 60-72 from blueprint (all after 2008). They just give them to you as full PTs instead of as sections for drilling

eta: I think its better to see those questions as full, timed PTs because they are a better representation of what you will see on test day as opposed to the older PTs

as far as I know no... most likely because it is mainly the lower numbered PT questions used to drill so newer questions can be used as PT material as Jack said

Has anyone tried the December 2014 LSAT prep-test #74 yet? I know it was released yesterday. Im just curious if anybody else thought it was a little bit difficult and overall how did everyone do on it.
Thank you

How awful will it look if your score drops from your last LSAT score. Even if it its a few points. Because that is something Im really afraid of

September and December 2014 were both awful tests with only -12 curves.

Which means we're in for a great curve in Feb

This is all subjective...but a great curve as in like -13/-14 notes a generally more difficult test overall? Or can people not really tell the difference in difficulty among PT's in relation to their curves?

Honestly at this point I am personally a nervous wreck! My apps are already sent, and Im afraid that taking the Feb LSAT is going to screw me more than help. But an increase in score is beneficial, especially when applying to Top tier schools

I've been debating if I should postpone to June all day and during studying I did horribly in on RC Section (-6) then a grouping game took my 16 minutes...but then I killed some RC, flew through 8 games, and did an LR section and only missed one. now I'm just confused...but happy about that LR section!

ETA what should I do???

You really shouldn't worry about it. They only care about the highest score.

So do you think I should go for it and take the Feb? I mean if I score higher then I'll have a better chance at a top tier school and hopefully possible scholarship for some other schools. If I bomb it then hopefully they'll just pretend it didn't happen lol I just don't want to take the chance if it might hurt my chances of getting in.

Btw thanks so much for your comments, its been very helpful and reassuring

I decided to postpone today and I followed the same thought process as I did the first time I postponed.
Is there an important reason you need to take it this upcoming month? (like for scholarship money, etc)
Is there a downside to postponing other than continuing to not have a social life?
If you actually postpone will you be able to commit to studying for the next 5 months?
What score is the lowest score you would not retake?
Now add 5.
What is your current score? Will you be able to realistically and confidently hit that bottom score+5 on the upcoming test date?
Make your decision depending on your answers, your goals, and your reasons for wanting to go to law school.
