hey everyone.

so I'm currently signed up for the November-flex, however, I was hoping that I would be pt-ing in the 170s+ by now. Unfortunately, school and work got the best of me and I haven't had that much consistent practice since my August LSAT. While I am BR-ing in the 170s+, I am currently pt-ing between 165-169. This is my third retake (I scored 162, 164 the last times I took it). I'm redoing my LSAT because the school I want to go to has a median LSAT score of 166 and a 75th percentile of 169. I'd have to have a significant increase from my last score (3 points or higher) for this retake to be worth it. The latest scores they take are January scores.

Does anyone have any advice or is in a similar boat? I have about two weeks left. Do you think that's enough time to manage to pull off a 170+?

I took October and was scheduled for November. However, school got crazy and I definitely did not want to sacrifice my GPA, nor did I have time to study again for LSAT. So, I rescheduled for January. It's up to you based on your own individual situation, though. If you think you can do better, it may be worth rescheduling.

yeah I definitely feel that! I'm just anxious because a January retake means being considered for the last round or so for admissions ;~; also, with it being my third retake, I'm nervous about having multiple scores on file for the schools that don't look at multiple scores that favorably :^/

have you heard anything about january retakes? if they actually mess up your chances for acceptance?

I really doubt it messes with your chances at all

Your chance is about 75% because your LSAT is a bit low. I do think you do have a good chance though.

I'm in a similar boat. I've been reading accepted/rejected threads for all the schools i'm looking at. I don't know what to do because I already have a score where people are getting admitted with it, but they're also getting rejected with it!

This whole experience is an absolute nightmare. I wish I could just know the score I need.

Well I have no idea if that was stupid of me but I just rescheduled for January. The deadline for 0 fees has passed. Determined to get that 170. I guess absolute worst case I'll reapply really early for 2022

I had some trouble with the lsac website (shocking) so I hope I actually did reschedule, it's not showing a confirmation. I guess I'll find out monday when I call to confirm

Maybe I am writing writing the november 😂

      This is true to some extent at UBC as well, more so within the student body, but the faculty also raises these issues not infrequently. Maybe it's a west coast thing?

      Chances ? L60 3.81 Lsat 156 (third attempt)

      Chances? cGPA 3.67, LSAT 166 (OCT was 164), strong softs

      By tangdou · Posted

      Just got the November score and improved 2 points. My LSAT is right on the median at 166, but my GPA is below the median.. In third year I got promoted into 4th year earlier, so there are only year 1 2 4 on my transcript, meaning the cGPA and best 3 year are same. Got Dean's Honour Roll in two years but forgot to put in the sketches.. Otherwise had several work experiences, and several long-term extracurricular commitment and volunteer. Any suggestions? Should I take the LSAT again in January?

      Bad to cancel LSAT score?

      By dahmad98 · Posted

      I mean just put yourself in their shoes. If you have a horrible score and don't cancel, they will see it. But if you do end up cancelling, then they will assume you got a horrible score. So not really much different. Also all of the ON schools state that they take the highest LSAT score, so I don't really see why people stress over cancelling so much. If you apply to certain out of province schools, then that's a different story.

      Bad to cancel LSAT score?

      By peacelily · Posted

      Forgive me if I'm mistaken, but I believe you can only cancel your score after seeing it if it is your first time writing the test or within 6 days if it's your 2nd (or 3rd, etc). That being said, from everything I've read and heard, one cancelled score will hardly be held against you. If it becomes a trend, that's a different story-- but you should be fine cancelling the one. Disclosure: probably people more informed than I am on here, but I talked to quite a few people and did my own research before cancelling my October score.
