Feel like I ran a marathon today. I'm exhausted. I'm not ecstatic but I'm really really happy with my score yet I still feel like I'm drowning. there are just too many factors and too many unknowns. I don't feel that much better after today. Just let me in H!

Request fee-waivers with your hand-calculated one, they won't cross-check it with CRS.

Anyone else think they were getting trolled or phished when they saw an email with the subject "LSAT SCORE" last night?

If I don't get an offer I like this year, I'll reapply next year and possibly retake in June to try for a Hamilton or Ruby. But hopefully I'll just get a good offer this cycle.

We'll miss you too lawl!! I know what it's like to get a score that you know is lower than what you're capable of - it happened to me in June. Best of luck with your potential retake/decision making about cycles. Law school will always be here.

only went up by one point, 0.1 points above PT average leading up to this test, LSAT accuracy..you scary..

Has anyone had issues with LR on this or recent PT's? I got double the total amount wrong on LR on this test than I have on PT's. i got -12 on LR, and even on my cold diagnostic i had -7 or -8.

yep, got -10 on LR, pretty bad for me since I was averaging -6/-7 leading up to the test. there were some LR types that were missing or underrepresented on this test, so that definitely worked out for some people and hurt others.

3rd time taker here-158 and 164 were my previous scores, so I was pretty surprised and delighted to get a 172! Guess I'll need to be revising the list of schools I want to apply to.

Happened to me, almost exactly doubled the number of LR i get incorrect. I keep checking my score and thinking that there has to be a mistake. I got -7 from my PT average.

Same boat, I did fine everywhere else but just blew it on LR.

I just checked test centers in SoCal for December. They are all full...guess even if I wanted to retake for December I'm SOL.

I went -4 LR1, -8 RC, -2 LR2, -2 LG. Honestly disappointing given that RC is the stumbling block that has prevented me from getting my target score twice now. Scored under my PT average (171) both this time and in June, and while I could take the test one more time, I've already taken it three times total. So, I think I really don't have much of a choice but to go ahead, apply, and hope for the best.

They'll add some hopefully. That's what happened for June. All centers in SoCal or LA?

I'm throwing in all zip codes near me. Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, the north valley, San Diego even. There are a few spots open in Santa Barbara - only 120 miles from me.
