I got my LSAT score tonight.

[Guaranteed]

I got a 168, 97th percentile. :)

I checked the score report, though, and they only credited 100 questions, as opposed to 101. Very, very weird.

Anyway, I'm glad it's over.

1. Congrats!

That's a very good score! :bounce:

[Guaranteed]

4. Thank ya, hoping to get into a law school now.

:)

[hickman1937]

6. Which law school? n/t

[Guaranteed]

24. I'm applying to U of Illinois C-U and a bunch of California schools...

All the UC law schools, USC, University of San Diego, UOP, was thinking if I got a crazy good score I'd try Stanford, but I didn't, and you need to know people anyway, really.

I'm basically going for geographical diversity, because the hope is that my fiancee will find an excellent job somewhere in CA and we'll be able to match up a school with a job.

5. BGL . . .

That's fantastic, and I'm not at all surprised you did so well. :thumbsup:

7. Well look at you smarty-pants!

:)

You go! :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: I think I speak for DU when I say we're so proud of you - and you should be proud of yourself, too. That's QUITE an impressive accomplishment.

Best wishes for getting into your first choice law school! :yourock:

[Scoots]

8. Congratulations!

I remember it was a huge nightmare for me, so I understand the relief. With a score like that I won't bother saying good luck with admissions, and skip straight to good luck with 1Hell.

9. NERD!!!!!!!!

:hide:


Great job :) As someone still studying for his LSAT's (a never-ending process it may seem), what was your study secret? Did you major in pre-law?

:woohoo:

[eyesroll]

27. Can't answer for BGL, of course, but my secret was...

...waiting until I was 30.

Seriously, though -- I did a bunch of practice tests under horrible conditions (on a train, in an overheated room, on a bed while my BF's toddler tantrumed in the next room). I didn't take a practice course, and I was not pre-law (I was an English/education major, and graduated in '97, so even if I was pre-law, I wouldn't remember much).

Basically, for me, it was vital to get comfortable with how the test worked. You don't really need to know a lot of facts to do well on the LSAT, but knowing what to expect is a big help.


Good luck to you (and to other posters downthread who've asked similar questions)!

28. Nah, I majored in philosophy...

But, I just practiced a lot. And there's a trick to each section that should help. For reading comprehension, take the time to read the whole piece, very carefully, before answering the questions. For the logical reasoning, for every question, read the question before the prompt. And, for the logic games, flip through the section real quick and find the easiest ones (ordering) to do first, and try to address them in an ascending order of difficulty.

Other than that, it's just practice and a bit of luck.

10. Congrats and a question

How did you prepare? Did you take a prep course? I'm taking it in December.

[Guaranteed]

26. Lots and lots of practice tests. nt

[Neil Lisst]

11. Congrats. If your GPA is equally high ...

You'll have a shot at getting in a top ten law school.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

12. Congrats. They may have thrown out a question, on reviewing the exam.

[Guaranteed]

30. It was weird. There were two Reading Comprehension sections,

one with 27 questions and one with 26, one experimental and one credited. The one with the 27 questions would have made the whole test 101 questions, so I figured the 26 question one was experimental. But they did the exact opposite, and the test ended up being only 100 questions.

[TallahasseeGrannie]

13. Wow

Now you can go to law school and become a big time coprorate lawyer for the Republicans!

Or not.

Use it well!

[Midlodemocrat]

14. Congratulations! Way to go!!!!

[Evergreen Emerald]

Nice...

good for you. It helps to have a high number. You will soon be getting letters of interest in the mail.

[meganmonkey]

15. Excellent!

If you end up at U of Mich Law School, I'll buy you a beer at Dominick's.

Congrats!!!!!

:toast:

[eyesroll]

16. There were only 100 questions.

(It's unusual, but not unheard of.)

I got a 167! I'm thrilled. I wanted a 162, left feeling like I got upper 150s or so.

Congrats to you!

[freethought]

17. Congratulations!!

That score should put you in the sites of the Ivy League law schools.

Good luck with the applications!

[kanrok]

18. Excellent score

Will get you into a top-line law school.

[Tallison]

19. Way to go

I'm thinking of taking them. How much prep did you invest in them?

[Floogeldy]

20. Well done!

:)

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

21. Excellent!!!

If your GPA is also stellar, you should have a great shot at the school of your choice. Good job!!!

[huskerlaw]

22. Congratulations!!!

I don't know what your GPA is, but that score will go along way towards getting into the law school of your choice! Way to go!

:toast:

[Dangerously Amused]

23. Very impressive! Congratulations!

And, as another poster so aptly put it... prepare for 1L hell!

[deadparrot]

25. Congrats, BGL!

:applause:

[OldLeftieLawyer]

29. It's not over

It's not even close to over, kid.

A good start.

Don't slow down, even for an instant.

Best of luck to you.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

31. Now all you gotta do is survive the first year....masochist :)

Congrats, fella...that score attracts a whole lotta law schools to you ;)

[Metta]

32. Mazel tov. I hope you use it for the betterment of all.

Loaves upon the water, you know.

[Guaranteed]

33. I hope so, too.

I made a little deal with God last night before looking at my score. I'm going to do my best to hold to it.

[Metta]

34. Hey, if you spend time with your heart energy, you'll stay out of your ego

... just the way it works but I think you already know that. Let me know if you'd like a couple of *really simple* heart centered meditations.

[Guaranteed]

35. It scares me a bit.

I need to be very careful not to lose myself.

[Metta]

36. You're always in the chair, never lost.

What you're experiencing is a reaction to adventuring into unknown territory. I've been working with and teaching about heart centered energy meditations since the late '60s and have never had a bad experience from it. I may not have listened but I never went wrong following the energy.

What happens when you lose yourself? I'm not clear on what you mean by that.
