For a long time now the LSAT has been in the rearview mirror for me, but I've finally gotten around to reflecting on it a bit.

If you're just starting out on your LSAT journey, best of luck, and I hope this video helps out a bit! Watch my law sch...

    Hello Makayla! This video was so interesting to watch, because I also had my last day before the new semester today. My Master's degree is starting tomorrow, so I also had a reset day 😊 Loved to see what you do to prepare, very inspiring ☺️ and the video calmed me down a bit, because I'm a bit nervous about tomorrow. Entering a new period of my life always makes me nervous, especially meeting new people. So it really helps to see other people going through a similar situation ❤ I hope you have a good start at Law School! Greetings from Europe ✨

    I loved watching your progress. I have been slowly learning the violin (and viola) for over 50 years. Improvement will always go in leaps and quiet times. Save your favourite pieces for the slow times. I have one suggestion: Try to use all the bow and focus on getting all the way to the heel. When I was taught that as a young man, my playing leapt forward.

    thank you for uploading this, I love seeing people talk about their journeys. i am a current LSAT tutor with 7sage, the LSAT is a big part of my life even though I don't have to worry about taking it anymore and I work closely with 7Sage admissions advisors who are almost all former admissions officers at real law schools, and I want to contend some of the things you said in this video. Going from a 167->166 is not a big deal at all! Anyone watching this video and reading this comment shouldnt feel bad if their second score slips a little compared to their first, that is completely expected and that is why you get your score band with your score. For anyone who doesn't know, when LSAC gives you your curved scaled score they also give you a range where you could expect to score, because they recognize that a lot goes into your final score that cannot be accounted for in the test itself (how nervous you are, how hard that particular tests is, and any other number of soft factors). Your score band is +/- 3 or 4 of your score, and it tells admissions officers that on any given day you could be expected to score in that range, so dropping a single point is totally understandable and even baked into the process, don't freak out if this happens to you! It doesnt tell them you dont know how to study or you slacked off, it's completely normal and just confirms your ability, really. Now if you break out of your score band in either direction that is cause for them to take a second look at you. -Taking more than 3 LSATs or more than X number of LSATs (you hear different thresholds all over the place) doesnt necessarily reflect poorly on you or detract from your chances of getting into a school, but what it really does is take away from your chances at receiving financial aid. It shows the officers that you have the means to pay for multiple tests and sustain a study schedule for a long time. In the end though, schools are only going to report your highest score so bottom line that's what the primary factor is, and if you've taken several LSATs they look at the trajectory of your scores. If your scores show an upward trend, then if anything it confirms to them your ability to stick with something and improve, which is part of the purpose of the test, since it correlates with your aptitude to adjust to your 1L year. Again, congrats on your score and I hope you enjoy Boston U!
