Opinion | Do not weigh Reddit law school forums too heavily this upcoming application cycle
I can finally say, after 18 long, grueling months, that I have officially finished studying for the law school admissions test, otherwise known as the LSAT. I began studying in January of 2022, starting slow with an hour a week before ramping it up to 15+ hours a week come the fall 2022 semester. I slaved away at my textbooks, spending over $500 between my beloved PowerScore set and approximately two months of 7Sage live lessons. I canceled plans constantly, was a hot mess during most weeks the past two semesters and continuously bothered my friends, acquaintances and even my peers here at The Pitt News with how insane I was about this test. But finally, after the many months of desperate manifestations to the law school gods and three long, brutalizing tests, I am officially done. It is not just because LSAC says you are only allowed to take three LSAT exams in one calendar year — it is because I finally hit above my goal score. My score is certainly not perfect, but it sets me up nicely for a majority of the schools I am planning on applying to this upcoming fall.
