However, I scored a 148 on the diagnostic practice test, but realize that this is a low score. Is it reasonable to believe that I could raise my score by ten or more points if I am studying regularly, and will be taking a kaplan course before the actual lsat? My dream school is the University of Michigan Law School and I know a 148 will not cut it. Im basically just curious as to whether or not you feel I have a decent chance or not of increasing my score a good amount?<br /><br />AaronUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16505178954575271899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5649614440783096786.post-17299878601141933342010-05-03T09:39:24.938-07:002010-05-03T09:39:24.938-07:00Also, I have a 3.59 GPA.

I work very hard on a day to day basis for my future and am seriously discouraged that a four hour test can determine my ability for law school, since law school itself is not about a four hour test, but about a three year day to day process.

Most of my grades were B's but I did have a handful of c's d's and f's that brought down my GPA because I worked full-time and went to Harvard Extension in the evenings. I scored a 153 on my lsat the first time and a 154 on teh lsat the second time. I have 7 years of experience in the legal field as a secretary, I have done volunteer work for the past four years and I paid for my whole undergraduate education by myself.

I am schedueled to take the LSAT February 7th but I'm not sure whether I should take it since I keep scoring so low on the practice exams or if I should wait to take it in June. My reason for wanting to take it now is because I would like to start going to school Fall 09' since I just graduated Fall 08' and I don't want to wait another year before I can go back to school. I would like to go to Texas Wesleya, SMU, or Baylor.
