Probably calling it quits

Law School Admissions LSAT Prep and Discussion Forum

Should I just call it quits or retake?

I got a 159 on my February LSAT. I’ve been studying since June and I went over both LG and LR Bibles and even took a 2.5 month course with Testmasters. My diagnostic was a 138, so I did improve a lot. I feel like I gave it all I could and I’ve been PTing between 155-164 so this was my average PT score or just about. I’m not sure if I want to go through this shit again, and even if I do, the best school I’d end up attending is UC Davis or UC Hastings. On the other hand, I’m not sure if taking out 180k in loans to attend either school is worth it and I’ve had tons of friends telling me to NOT go to law school over the past year.

Would like some feedback from you all. If I do call it quits, I just want to thank this entire forum for all the help you all gave me. You guys are fantastic and I think the process would’ve been a whole lot more stressful without TLS. This is a great place for prospective law students.

As I said, I feel like I’m leaning towards quitting as I feel I’ve hit my cap and I don’t know realistically how much more I can improve. This is so weird right now. I kinda cried a bit after I got my score, but part of me just wants to move on already. This all feels surreal.

bro, you improved 21 points.
how much did you expect to improve?
Take a week or two off and start studying for the June test.


When all else fails ask yourself what tupac would do.

Even if you got a 160-180, you’d still have to go to one of those schools AND pay 180k?

See what I did there?

Retake and then decide.

Take a break. While you’re at it, survey your outside options. =)

Revisit this question in 2 months.

Yeah. I’ve actually somewhat anticipated this possibly happening so I started scouting out some options a few weeks ago. I guess I might consider getting a Masters in Social Work/Welfare and becoming a social worker. Seems like a pretty rewarding job.

I bombed…and I’m not one of those, “oh damn i only got a 169” assholes either. Will retake in June.

Take a couple weeks off. you don’t have to make a decision today…

“I set goals, take control, drink out my own bottle
I make mistakes but learn from every one
And when it’s said and done
I bet this brother be a better one

Never forget, that God isn’t finished with me yet”

i imagine that sexy avatar reciting pac…its dope

Tupac actually scored a 175. I don’t know what his diagnostic was though.

13

I believe his diagnostic was a 176, but he was trippin’ on sherm when he took it for real.

14

Typical Tupac.

15

Yeah, he’s a rascal.

16

Actually guys, he got a 186

17

Is Tupac paraphrasing Thucydides?

18

Now that I think about it, 187 sounds more realistic for someone like Tupac.

He’s still alive - 3L at Cooley

:mrgreen: He never dies
No fan of B.I.G?.. :angry:
