please help: whether to withdraw june lsat or not Forum

[alphagirljhan]

Hi LSAT folks.
I registered for June 29 LSAT (taking in Asia) but I just don't feel ready for this.
I can't finish any section on time (3-4 problems left when the proctor video says "5 min left")
The most annoying section is LR. I usually get 3-6 wrongs per section and everytime I go over them, the correct answer is the ultimate candidate that I didn't end up choosing. This happens to 90% or more for my wrong answers. It's so frustrating to miss answers so closely.

I started studying intensely after school got over (middle of May) and now there's only 11 days left till the real thing.
Should I keep going and aim for that test? Should I withdraw and take it in September? (but last week of September will be midterm season.. arghh)

I'm also discouraged from people who say it's not really feasible to increase your score no matter how hard you try. I've been studing 7-8 hrs per day since mid May and although I did improve, I am really really far from 170 if I time myself strictly. I have a 3.9 gpa from top 10 liberal arts college and my lsat pt scores don't even remotely match my target school range. ahh.. the world of lsat..

Any words of wisdom much appreciated

I'd hold off til September. You never know if you'll need all three takes of the LSAT or not. You don't want to waste one when you're not peaking. It just sounds like you could improve your score by a decent amount if given more time and your gpa should not be wasted on a subpar lsat score.

if you cannot finish ANY section on time i would wait


when i took my first lsat ever i could finish all but the logic games section in time (even if my answers were not that great)


you definitely want to be comfortable with the language and format before taking the test for real. honestly reading some English books or magazines may be the best prep for you in the medium-term

I would hold off. You shouldn't take the test until you're consistently hitting your target score. Also, a little over a month of studying is not enough time to prep properly for the LSAT. Taking the test at a later date will give you the chance to learn everything without rushing through anything.
