jaybzee Posted December 6 Report Share Posted December 6 There is no passing per se with LSAT, you either do well or you don't. You have the option of cancelling your test score when you are finished (but before you know your score). Whatever score you do get though stays on your record, and is generally averaged in with subsequent scores. So, if you get a 150 your first time out (a really bad score) and a 160 (a somewhat decent score) next time out, schools will consider you to have a 155 (which is around the national average--but not that good). Bottom line is, don't take the test unless you are sure youre going to do well, and if you know you bombed after taking it, cancel and do it again. I believe LSAT scores are valid for three years (definitely check on that though). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

£ddie Posted December 6 Report Share Posted December 6 Treat the LSAT like a one shot deal. Not something you want to take twice, and as stated, they average your scores so the benefit of taking it twice isn't much of a benefit..And just so you have something to look forward to, the bar exam is a much, much worse experience.

Yeah, I still party, just as much as I used to. The weekdays can be horrendous, 12-15 hour days etc., but I make time on the weekends to go partying--you have to or this profession will drive you insane. Hasn't really changed my life except that I can't really make weekday plans with anyone since I never know what time I'm coming home. I work maybe one weekend a month. And if I do, I do the work from home. So far so good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
