I'll definitely put more time into it again, I just don't want to sign up for the December LSAT or start studying again until I get my score and KNOW if I have to retake or not. So definitely retake in December if I think my score might be too low to get in?Dirigo wrote:I say it depends on your September score. If you're retaking for admissions purposes, the. December is probably a better bet. If you're applying solely for scholly negotiation, February should be fine if it means adding a few points to your score.lawjag2015 wrote:Feb is too late by all accounts.Monster1776 wrote:Is it necessary to retake in December if you're applying this year?

There is no reason to retake in Decemeber if you aren't able to put in the time to improve your score.
its all a game... if you get your score monday and think its below your potential (especially if its significantly below) retake... like Rigo said Dec would be best for admissions (you want to go to X school but LSAT1 won't get you accepted but LSAT2 might) but if its for school it is fine to do Feb I would think(you want school X, got into school X, but offer 0 w/ LSAT1 but could get $$$ with LSAT2)Monster1776 wrote:I'll definitely put more time into it again, I just don't want to sign up for the December LSAT or start studying again until I get my score and KNOW if I have to retake or not.

The best tip anyone can give you is to listen to JGoods (a.k.a. JBoogie a.k.a. star-crossed puppy-lover), the poster above you. He will unravel the LSAT mysteries for you real good.fakeacct12 wrote:I am just preparing in case I have to retake. Depends on what my score is, but if its anywhere in the 60s, the temptation to increase my score by 2-4 points may be 2 much to resist.
So, what is everyones' advice on improving on RC? that's the section that can really pay dividends and allow me to elevate my score 5+ points. I was missing 4-6 questions on RC for a majority of the tests(questions wrong due to misunderstanding q stem or just picking the trap answer due to going through questions 2 quickly or getting the 5 minute warning on the last passage and having to guess on 1 or 2 questions) however, on the more recent tests like 72 and 71 I was missing more on the RC sections like 8 or 9 Q's.
I understand the basics but what do you guys suggest for improving on the recent RC? should I just focus on doing timed sections at 38 minutes for now? and practicing moreso on reading for structure and staying focused? or try to practice on getting faster on the reading? or faster at answering questions? or just solely practice the hard rc passages?
My LG and LR sections are pretty good. LG missing 0-2 and LR missing 1-3 and once in a while 4 per section. Total questions wrong for LR are usually between 4 and 8.
u didn't really answer my question or give me any advice. I just read Jgood and he is advising people to retake which is something I may do.............hereisonehand wrote:The best tip anyone can give you is to listen to JGoods (a.k.a.
