Start Your Legal Career (Ep. 1564)

I'm writing in because the September LSAT did not go as I hoped.

This was my third attempt and I got a 163, only a three-point jump from my June 160.

And I can already tell Leah that you're not following our advice.

The

reason why I can tell already that you're not following our advice is that you're skipping test administrations.

If you were ready for June, then you should have said, great, I'm taking June, August, September, October, November, if necessary.

That's my five attempts and I'm done.

But instead, what people do is they register for one, see how it went, then decide whether they want to register.

They end up skipping an administration because they missed a registration deadline probably.

And my worry is, before I even read anything more that you're going to write, my worry is that you're going to make that same mistake over and over and over and drag this process out for three years.

Also, every time you do that, you put way too much pressure on every individual attempt to Instead of really sending yourself the message, hey, June is just a practice test for August and August is just a practice test for September and September is just a practice test for October.

And if I was ready to take the first one, then I'm going to use all five of my attempts, if necessary, in a row and not stress.

But clearly, you know, Leah didn't do that.

Let's let's let's offer the rehabilitation advice then.

Great.

Leah continues.

She says my practice tests in the demon leading up to the test were 173 to 180.

And I took eight practice tests.

Yeah.

So you were definitely ready.

You were

definitely ready.

Yes.

But your problem is you're doing a scattershot, like one and done type of an approach.

And like I said, Maybe the reason why on September you scored 10 to 17 points lower than your range is because you felt a lot of pressure on the September test.
