Why would I want to do this?

The application process is a black box. We want to shine a light inside it. This new free feature will let you see which applicants get interviewed, accepted, rejected, or waitlisted—and what happens after they’re waitlisted. It’s also a convenient way to keep track of your apps and connect with people applying to the same schools!

Note that we’re rapidly improving this feature, but we wanted to put it in front of you as early as possible.

JUST GOT INTO LAW SCHOOL!!

Hi everybody, I've been practicing the split approach and quite enjoy its methodology. However, I've also read elsewhere that LSAC is actively trying to create questions that stop this approach from being as effective. Can anybody weigh in on this (test takers) and if I should pivot to sequential?

Good luck and thanks!

My diagnostic score was around 155 in September I have completed the core cirriculum and have been using the study tool to do targeted drilling, timed sections, and weekly PTs, and have not been able to get out of the low 160s since December. I definitely notice, especially on RC, that I run out of time at the end and frequently find myself not understanding passages later on in the test, even though I am working to slow down and read deeply each passage to understand it the best I can. For LR, I have managed to get scores like -4 or -3, but am consistently falling in the -7 range. I have been working tirelessly to improve, and I feel like I am just hopeless. I wanted to make it to the April Test and get into the 170s, but that just feels impossible, I do not know if I can delay taking the test until June because I am slowly running out of fresh materials. I would really appreciate any advice on what you think I should do because I am frankly so lost and frustrated. 

Best, 

Aden 

Hey all, Ive been self studying and it hasn't been great. I think having a partner or even a group can help me tremendously . I am in the essex county area in NJ. I am available from 4pm-7pm.

Hey Guys, Quick question if you can help. For conditional reasoning, is the opposite of "no", "ALL"? For example, "no person can work without A" would the opposite the be "all persons can work with A"?

Hi all, I am *literally* just starting out, like 2 hours in... I think I'm initially overwhelmed and a bit pessimistic that I'll be able to do this. Even stuff as simple as argument structure is making me feel like I bit off more than I can chew. I know I am capable, as I am a good/great student, and a generally well rounded person (I have to give myself credit somewhere, right?) Did anyone else experience these first day feelings? Will I be okay? Are we all floating on a giant rock through space?

Any tips? Any and all are appreciated!!!

This is weird, but every time I do a section whether its LR or RC- I do worse on average than on the LR and RC sections of a full practice test. In other words- I do significantly better on full pts than sections. I don't know if this is a good or bad indicator????

im writing my personal statement and its based on a true story about how i got in a car accident that led me to getting an internship with a supreme court justice at criminal court in NY (a girl rear ended my car into a man who ended up being a judge). the essay is solid, i think, but the story literally sounds so unbelievable that i am worried they will think i made it up. very much a when life gives you lemons situation. the judge is writing me an LOR as well but i obv dont know if hes mentioning that my "interview" was how well i handled a girl almost killing me in a car. its a long story which i am happy to share but moral of the story is would anyone want to read it and let me know their thoughts

Congratulations to the January Winners of our Community Lottery!

Hello! Would anyone scoring in the high 160s to low 170s like to meet virtually to discuss questions up to PT 141?

I'm in Pacific time. The hours of 5-7pm PST on Tue/Thu would work best for me, but let me know what works for you.

I'm old and non-traditional in case that's you. Or maybe you just need a break from thinking about these problems on your own. Please DM if you're interested. :)

Hi! I studied abroad last semester (spring 2025) and the grades are reflected in my transcript but do not count towards my GPA, per my university guidelines. Will LSAC count these grades towards my GPA or do they do the same thing as my university? The study abroad institution I attended was in the UK, not sure if this matters lol

Hey everyone! Does anyone have any idea how long after applying to a school we can expect to hear back?

Hi there! I am from the Milwaukee area and plan to take the LSAT in April. I was wondering if anyone in the area wanted to meet in-person to become study buddies so we can teach and learn from each other!

Good morning! I was wondering if there was anyone in the San Antonio or Austin area that was interested in studying together :) Really want to nail a 170+ and help others get there as well.

Hey! I started to study for the LSAT in mid-December. I took my diagnostic test and made a 137. I’m still going through the cc and at times I do struggle and feel defeated. What do y’all recommend me to do to bring up my score by my test in June? Thank you! 😊

Hi everyone! I'm noticing my biggest problem on RC are the implied questions. Any additional tips? Thanks!

These two happen to be the question types that really jog me when i’m doing a test, i’m intuitive and I don’t diagram, how can I ensure I am prepared for february, my difficulty comes in those level 4s and 5s mostly 5s.

Hi everyone,

My name is Alex, and I'm writing to offer my services as a tutor. I’ve worked as a professional educator for more than a decade, both in the classroom and in private instruction. I’ve worked with hundreds of students with diverse learning styles, and have (I'd like to think) developed some expertise in the art of teaching.

Over the years I've learned a critical (and humbling) lesson: the brilliance and subject-matter expertise of the teacher is irrelevant if they're misaligned with the learning needs and learning style of the student. This forum and thread is crawling with talented tutors who are likely a perfect fit for many of you. I'd like to provide you with some specific information about who I am as a teacher, my philosophy and approach, etc. in order to help you make an informed decision before you spend your hard-earned money.

Here is my approach (in a nutshell):

My overall goal is to make the test feel much simpler (but don't expect simple). This exam is inevitably hard, and there are questions that require a lot of brainpower. There are also, however, many easy questions masquerading as "hard" through complex language, disorienting syntax, trap answer choices, and other LSAC trickery. As a point of emphasis, I teach students to cut through the noise and distill each individual question type into its simplest form. The time this will save you (not to mention the energy) is invaluable when it comes to improvement.

Within the scope of this larger, overarching aim we will of course focus on the unique set of needs each student has (timing, specific question types, comprehension strategies, little "tricks of the trade", etc.). But the simplification is my central goal and thesis.

I myself earned a 176 primarily through focused self-study. I began with a 152 diagnostic. I know firsthand that this test is learnable, and I'd like to think that my improvement speaks to the efficacy of my approach, but again: it won't for everyone. If you feel, though, that it might be a fit for you, feel free to reach out here in the comments. Over the past few months, I’ve been fully booked with students preparing for the November LSAT. Many of them just hit the scores they’ve been working for, which has opened around three or four spots in my schedule. I’m looking to fill them with students who want consistent, serious preparation. I take this very seriously, and I wish to work with students who can offer a similar level of commitment.

I should mention also: I work with both individual students and small groups. Some people learn best by talking through problems with others; some prefer a quieter one-on-one space. I structure both formats so sessions feel focused, purposeful, and productive. A benefit of group lessons, of course, is the lower individual cost, but have some risk if people drop out. At the bottom of this post I've outlined a policy to mitigate this.

Please reach out in the comments if you have any questions or would like to work together. I wanted to keep this short and failed, but hey, at least you got some Reading Comp practice!

My rates are below

Meeting once per week: $75/one-hour session or $140/two-hour session ($70 per hour).

Meeting twice per week: $130/two one-hour sessions ($65 per hour) and $240/two two-hour sessions ($60 per hour, $120 per session)

Meeting three times per week: $165/three one-hour sessions ($55 per hour) and $300/three two-hour sessions ($50 per hour, $100 per session)

Group lesson policy

Group lessons are a great way to reduce cost, but there's a risk that students will drop out. Here's how I've tried to reduce that risk:

Group rates are the same as the individual rates listed above. If, however, a group member can't make a session, if I am given 24-hour notice, I will reduce the cost of the lesson to a degree that allows each student to continue paying their normal rate, up to a 25% reduction. I know that sounds like a logical reasoning question, so let me provide an example to illustrate this:

If a group has 5 people, and I'm meeting with them for two-hour sessions twice per week, their cost per session is $120. Split 5 ways this is $24 per student. If one member can't make it and I'm provided 24 hours notice, I'll reduce the price to $96, which allows each student to continue paying $24 for that lesson. I can, however, only reduce my price by a maximum of 25%. So if two students can't make it, I will charge $90 (25% off) which will bring the remaining three members to $30 for that lesson.

While this is imperfect, I think it strikes a decent balance and makes the risk on both ends tolerable.

I have been studying since October with 7sage. I am registered to take the LSAT in April. Is anyone else taking it in April? I may just be overthinking, but i dont feel too well about. Any tips to study? Im studying about 2 hours a day 5-6 times a week. I want to score in the 158-163 range

hi! I'm taking the feb lsat and am running into a new issue with timing for my LR sections. I used to have a good chunk of extra time at the end of my LR sections and would use it to go back to my flagged questions and feel pretty satisfied with my answers (most mistakes I was making were more random things I wasn't catching). Now I'm still using the last 5 min or so to go back to the questions I flagged, but I'm getting really stumped on them even with a ton of time (or BR) and they end up being the questions I get wrong in the section. Not sure if anyone has any thoughts/advice on this but I would absolutely love any help at all!

Hello everyone! I am taking the LSAT in June and I was wondering if anyone was interested in a study group. I am located in The Woodlands and live in an apartment building with large study/conference rooms. I can easily host in-person or virtual events. I am hoping to mainly work on 3 star questions and up, focusing on 4s and 5s.

I hit a wall early in my prep. I logged every wrong answer religiously in the notes section. But after a month, I realized I wasn't learning; I was just hoarding my failures in a list I never wanted to look at again.

I was spending hours managing data when I should have been fixing the underlying logic flaws and rewiring my old ways of thinking. I realized that re-reading the same question wasn't helping—I was just remembering the answer, not learning the rule.

The inefficiency was driving me crazy. About 70% of my journal was stuff I had already learned from, but it was buried in with the difficult concepts I still needed to work on. I was wasting an hour a day reviewing a massive wall of text just to find the few questions that actually mattered.

I eventually built a tool to fix the workflow. It filters out what I already know and uses AI to verify I actually know the pattern of the difficult ones by generating new variations. If I got it right, it schedules review for longer. If I get it wrong, it shortens the review period so I can focus on the questions that trip me up most. I went from a 157 to a 173 in a few months, and I really think it's because I used this as a "hyper efficient" wrong answer journal to find the signal in the noise.

Does anyone else have a good system for "pruning" their wrong answer journal? Or do you just let the list grow forever, or skip out on using it entirely?

Hey guys!

I just started studying for the LSAT and want to take it in APRIL... Do yall think it's wise for me to schedule the test right now or later? I purposely haven't registered for the test yet since I read somewhere I shouldn't do that until I am for sure ready... Let me know your thoughts!

Additionally, I am subscribed to 7Sage Live. What are some tips and suggestions for me to get the MOST out of it? Currently, I am reviewing and learning the foundations. Should I be doing something else?

Thanks guysss
