JUNE LSAT 2010 - How do you feel about your score? Forum

[alicrimson]

160. Really not pleased. I did the whole sobbing in a corner while chugging wine bit. It was all very dramatic. Then I realized that I never wanted a T14. I want a state school and I can get into one and if I retake I'll surely get one because thhe median is a 161. Its still Top fifty and therefore top tier. My life is not over. I'm mostly just writing this to assure myself its true. Well, Nook money, you are now going toward the purchase of powerscore bibles and more practice tests. Goodie.

I can kiss that Roberto Cavalli dress goodbye! The money went to the TestMasters course I just signed up for! Starts tomorrow @ 10AM. (I missed the diagnostic test on Tuesday, b/c I wasn't really expecting this). But I'm still gonna finish off this bottle of wine tonight!!! Then it's AA and LSAT prep for the next 3 months.

You and me both. I just re signed up and then purchased 90 bucks worth of bibles. good times.

Lower than expected score, still good for some schools I wanted, retaking in October and let's see what happens...

How do you estimate how much in scholarships you are likely to get at various schools? If you are over 75th percentile in gpa and lsat by a point is it likely you will get a full ride? or 1/2 tuition? or anything? thanks.

[thedukeabides]

OK I guess. PT's from 163-174, so I can't say I'm shocked but thought I was destined for a 167. I PT'd about six test in a row before the test at 167 and I would've been content with that.

Ended up with 163, LG's really bit me.

Here's hoping work experience + LOR bomb + my charm gets me in.

For reals, cheers to everyone who knocked one out, I'm certainly jealous...but you give me hope! It can be done!

Depends on the school. Some (ie. Chicago) spread the money around, giving lots of little schollies but no full rides. But some (Duke, Michigan, etc.) give out full rides to top applicants. WUSTL seems extremely generous with moolah: lot of full rides for like 3.85 and 169.

When I first looked at my score I was disappointed but now I'm really happy. This is only a few points lower than my average and it is in the 99th percentile. That feels good.

[juevonate]

Content. My score was probably about my average in the month or so leading up to the test, but four or five points lower than what I'd moved up to in the past two weeks.

Bottom line: I beat my old LSAT score by five points, making the three months of intense study worth it.

Thank you, Jesus.

Pt average and median: 170
Highest: 176
Actual score: 167

Probably out of the t14 with a 3.73. Certainly not getting money there (though prolly half tuition or more at a top 25).

I think I'm too burnt out to consider a retake and I'm ready to get back to my life.


All told I don't think I'm interested enough in a legal career or fighting for a legal job to justify 3 more years of studying or 70k for a t25. I think I'm gonna take my Econ degree and run.

[jeremydc]

Congrads to every1 here, Most the scores posted are great.

Hope every1 gets into their number 1 choice

[BigA]

oh yeah, I'm already planning a retake. That said I had a HORRIBLE feeling leaving the test center, and did better than expected

[a11 1n]

AVG last 10 PT: 172
Test Day: 165

Nerves got me for sure.

I could not be happier than I am with my 177 (well, ok, I guess I would be happier with a 180, but I'm pretty damn happy).

My PTs were, in order: 168, 173, 175, 172, 175, 178, 175, 180, 178, 176. I think there was another 175 in there somewhere, too. Basically, discounting the first attempt, my mean, median, and mode were all 175, and that's what I went into the exam hoping for. But then I came out of the exam not feeling at all good about it. I had much more trouble with the games than I regularly did on PTs (normally my best and favorite section, always had lots of leftover time -- the day of, the fucking interns took me like a year, had to guess one question because I just ran out of time), and since that section was early, it sort of screwed with my head for the rest of the exam. I came out expecting a ~172ish. Which, while good, is not quite good enough to counteract my middling GPA at top schools. I was considering retaking in October, and I was seriously planning to move across the border into VA (I work, and currently live, in DC) if I didn't do as well as I'd hoped, but I REALLY didn't want to (no offense Virginia, but I love where I'm currently living and the ability to walk to work).

So, long story short, came out expecting to do worse than my PT average, actually did two points better. All this results in an extremely happy Entchen.

[PrincessLexiRae]

I will be retaking...ugh. Was hoping to have all my applications in within the first week of them being released...Guess that won't be happening anymore. I need a higher score and know that I can get my score up at least 10pts...Now to stress until October.

[I'maLawyer]

Feel good! I almost canceled and went back to studying after the 7th. I'm glad I stood my ground...

[wjs]

in my last few weeks of practice I was in the 168-171 range

on test day I was initially hoping for a 170 but more realistically expecting a 167 or 168

after taking the test my expectations were anything between 163 and 167, and I ended up with a 165

I feel fine about my score: it is lower than I would have liked but I can live with it, especially since I bombed the games section. I felt like I did as well as I could have on LR (which is how I felt after the test) but I don't know what happened on RC as I thought I had done really really well but ended up missing way more than expected

[krmalek]

Should have canceled. My score was atrocious.

I might be throwing in the towel. That's how bad it is.

[hobbsey]

167, I think that's a fair score. I didn't feel great coming out of the test but I didn't feel like I had bombed it either. I'm not really sure what I'm going to do, I know I'm capable of a slightly better score but am not totally committed to the retake yet. I think I'm going to hold off for a few weeks on making the decision.

[Saltqjibo]

Couldn't sleep the night before and could barely read a pre-test LR section. Felt like shit before. Felt terrible during. Just pushed myself through all the sections and told myself it was practice for a retake. What stopped me from canceling was coming on here and reading stories of people bombing an LG or RC passage I figured 'well I got through everything/ didn't fuck anything up majorly, so maybe I did better than I felt'. Was expecting 165-170.

Final score: 175

Fuckin' sweet! So yeah, pretty stoked.

+1. Same score and everything...

[GoBroncos22!]

Well now I feel like a real fucking moron. Not because my score, which I am happy with, but because it could of been two points higher. I LEFT TWO QUESTIONS BLANK!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I suck. fml

It could be worse. You, at least, missed the questions due to error, not because you didn't know them. I missed the first question on the test. Why? Because I'm a moron.

I switched one from Right to Wrong, which would have raised me one point.

But I also switched 6 from Wrong to Right, so I guess I got the better deal...

[Deuce]

Our testing center messed up several times. During section one, they called "5 minutes" when there were really 10 minutes left, and did not announce the mistake until the end of the break. There was no clock in the room...They made a few other small errors as well and said that they'd be sending an official report to LSAC and that we could file one if we feel it affected our scores...Now my LSAT icons have gone from "not yet available" to "cannot be displayed". I am really hoping that this is because my personal information isn't released yet, and not because of the center's report..Can anybody enlighten me so that I can calm down and go back to my refresh fest, or start drinking now?

Start drinking. I'll meet you at midtown, that 10 minute thing was pretty awful.
