LSAT Finale :(

Graduate School Law School

<p>My name is Joshua Lee, and I want to receive some advice from you guys.</p>

<p>So I am currently studying for the June 2013 LSAT. (I am actually studying while I am posting this). I went through the LSAT Powerscore Bibles twice last year and after have been doing 2-3 exams a week (one day test, next day review of questions).</p>

<p>I was originally studying for the Feb. 2013 LSAT, but felt burnt out and felt I wasn't ready for the Feb exam, even though I have been studying for about 4 months before (including the Bibles). I started from preptest 7 and now am at preptest 42 - I did these exams twice, once last year once this year. HOWEVER, my score which started from 139 improved now to about 168-173 range. This is a good thing BUT I have been stuck on this range for a good 2-3 months now (I expected some improvement). Today I got a 165, and two days ago I got a 166.</p>

<p>Not sure if I am burning but it could be it (I am taking decent breaks). The questions I get wrong is usually because I am fatigued during the exam, stupid mistakes, or questions I would never get right even if I had unlimited time. To my knowledge, they are not a certain type of question I get wrong. My strongest is the Logical Games section, then LR, and RC is definitely my weakest.</p>

<p>Please give me your inputs and/or advice! This hump has got me nervous.</p>

<p>Additionally, I want to go to a T15 school. I have involved in a public interest legal program, and the UCLA Law Fellows Program, and may be getting a full-time job at the Munger, Olson & Tolles law firm next year. Will these extracurriculars help? (I will be writing them into my personal statement, including my low socioeconomic background/personal history).</p>

<p>Also, my UCLA GPA is 3.54, my Pasadena City College GPA is 3.72 - LSAC GPA is about 3.64. With a Bachelor's of Arts Degree in Psychology. If I break a 170, what would be my chances to get into a T15 school?</p>

<p>Thank you!!</p>

<p>Google top law school forums or law school number could give you a better sense than here. I don’t know how accurate this is, but look interesting, [myLSN.info</a> - Search Results](<a href=“http://www.mylsn.info/ypahe]myLSN.info”>Search | MyLSN.info).</p>

<p>Thank you so much! I had no idea there were calculators like this!</p>

<p>I am currently a junior as well studying for the Oct exam. Perhaps taking a week or two off from practice exams and studying techniques/tips that you will implement in the actual test will give your mind some time to freshen up from all the questions, that by now I’m sure look repetitive.</p>

<p>Thanks for the response! I took a few days off and reviewed my Bibles and it seemed to help. Back to my average high 160s, but I realize that if I get the questions right that I am making stupid mistakes on (mainly misreading or feeling pressured to finish the question quickly), I could break the 170s. How will I improve my fatigue/not making these mistakes? Is this something that happens no matter what happens because of the length of the LSAT?</p>
