The answer is it doesn't matter whether it harmed you because you can't undo it. The harm you can avoid next time is applying waaaaay too late in the cycle. Get your stuff sent off by the end of October.Winningthelotto wrote:Hello, I took the LSAT for the first time in December and placed at the median. I have a 3.5 GPA and good extracurriculars/internships/letters of rec, so I applied for this cycle to some reach schools and others that I will realistically be considered for admittance. After sending all my apps out by early and mid Feb, I kind of regretted doing so and felt I should have considered re-taking...My question is, did I do myself harm by applying and possibly being rejected by schools that I hope in the future to reapply and gain admission?
I don't like logic books for LSAT study because they almost without exception go beyond any logical thinking necessary for the LSAT and, in turn, students start taking things into consideration unnecessarily (which slows you down and often leads to tricking yourself out of a right answer).Also for the time being are there any books that I can read not specifically geared to the LSAT but that deal with LSAT related content (logic/informal logic, logical reasoning) that will help with me when if I begin studying again?
A bit unrelated, but if you're looking for extra practice, Manhattan LSAT has an LSAT themed game online. It's fun to pass the time and it keeps track of your scores.EarlCat wrote:The answer is it doesn't matter whether it harmed you because you can't undo it.
