Yeah. I probably should have cancelled the 4th take because I just lost all my composure that day, but what’s done is done.ShepherdJoo wrote:Wow, I applauded you on your perseverance. Did you keep all your five scores or no?
I see. Best of luck to you! Do you think that more people will attempt to take the LSAT more than 3 times like us since there's no longer a limit anymore?PhiladelphiaCollins wrote:Yeah.

Thanks! Honestly, I think it happens more than people think. I know of two other people who’ve taken it 4 times IRL and I’ve seen a few others on forums say they’ve done it too. Most people don’t like to publicize that they have to bite the bullet again haha.ShepherdJoo wrote:I see. Best of luck to you!

This and especially because in the last year LSAC has dropped the limit of 3 in 2 yrs, or w/e the exact limitation wasPhiladelphiaCollins wrote:Thanks!

As far as people in general, no clue. I guess knowing that you don’t have to wait a year if everything goes to shit that day may encourage some people to take it earlier than they should.
Damn. You’ve got this! I’ll be taking my first LSAT in June and hopefully it will be my last.Anatevka wrote:I am going into my fourth because for all three past tests I scored at least four points under my lowest practice test score. It has been the most frustrating process but now that I am resigned, I am ready! Life is long enough to spend one more year and not leave any points on the table. This being said, EVERYONE thinks I am insane. I have been staying at my parents and they are literally kicking me out for deciding not to take one of my acceptances from this cycle and instead try another LSAT and apply next year. You guys are my family now!
Damn, that is rough. Think about how hard you’ll be able to flex on them down the road though.Anatevka wrote:I am going into my fourth because for all three past tests I scored at least four points under my lowest practice test score.

Two years? Wow. I don’t understand why people have to be so judgmental. It’s not their life, and, damn, it’s amazing to see you guys putting in so much effort to get what you want. That’s so admirable. I’ve pushed up my LSAT test date several times, and my family has stopped asking me when I’ll be taking the test. I don’t care, and it’s pretty frustrating when you have to explain the situation to people who think it’s “just a test.”PhiladelphiaCollins wrote:Damn, that is rough.

The one thing that got me through doing it so many times was that I’d already sunk ~2 years of my life into this test, so another few months wouldn’t change my life for the worse.
Also for my last take I told no one except my close family. Had to come up with some pretty creative excuses for not being able to hang out in the weeks before hahaha

I dig it. Maybe switch from tattoo to branding to really get the point in.Mikey wrote:SUREPhiladelphiaCollins wrote:I’d say so. Matching LSAT tattoos?Mikey wrote:are you me?

Tattoo idea: 119 on the top( to signify our highest score), '2 years strong' under the 119.
You're a literal genius.PhiladelphiaCollins wrote:I dig it. Maybe switch from tattoo to branding to really get the point in.Mikey wrote:SUREPhiladelphiaCollins wrote:I’d say so.

Can't speak for HYS, but general consensus seems to be that schools don't really care. With the exception of a few schools (NYU?) adcoms will just take your highest score. Main thing for them is simply the scores they report to the ABA. A 170 is a 170 whether its your 1st of 4th.Pewpew wrote:Do you guys know how multiple scores are received? I just bombed the December LSAT, and the February LSAT would put me at taking for the fourth time. Have people gotten into HLS/Stanford with four LSAT scores?
