Hi folks,

Im new to this whole lsat business. In fact, I've been putting off starting studying because...we'll, frankly, I'm not entirely sure what to do? I took a diagnostic and got a 163 but im not sure where to go from there. Do I just start drilling? I understand the basic logic behind the questions just fine, I think. Its just a good number tripped me up, so I dont think I need introduction to the base concepts.

I have personally tried so many different variations of wrong answer journal templates... I feel this is where I need to focus the most of my studying on.

I've noticed a lot of the shared templates on older posts are no longer useable -- the links are broken, or the files are just gone.

If you're a 165+ scorer, it would be highly appreciated if you could drop your template. I feel my methods of handling the journals in the past haven't been super helpful. I ultimately want something I can search on a computer instead of a handwritten notebook format I know I won't look back through as much as I should.

I have an official 158 on record, so I don't so much feel I need to go over fundamentals too much. I am still doing a reread of the 'LSAT Trainer,' though.

Can someone shares the Flaw List that Nicole Agranonik shares in her class?

I just recently started study for the lsat and the two practice tests I took I received a 145. I noticed that every single low priority questions I got correct and every single high priority question I got wrong. I feel like this means I probably have a basic understanding of how to approach more simple questions and still have to learn how to solve the harder more complex questions. For anyone else who has also got all the low priority questions right and all the high priority questions wrong, what did you find helped you improve your understanding for these types of questions the most? I appreciate any advice!

After our first PT, should we be drilling our weakest sections until we get all of the questions on the "hard" setting correct, within the time frame? Or is 4/5 good enough to move on. I'm not sure how many drill rounds per section I should be doing, so that I don't waste clean practice questions but that I also understand how to better approach the sections...

If I just went 27/27 in RC for the 1st time ever, in a section that was 4 star difficulty, should I just end studying for today on the high, even if this was the only thing done? My test is in 2 days and tomorrow I plan on doing some easy questions for LR and RC to build confidence and just keep fresh. I am not sure how I should've best handled this past week seeing as it is the last week before my exam and so am just looking for general advice for last couple days.

I made this wrong answer journal in sheets last night and I like how it came out, so I have decided to share it. I previously did it on paper but I like this much more because its all in one place and I can type a lot faster than write. I kept some examples of how I use it and instructions on how to get question images in there nicely. This format also makes it really easy to reference or print these entries out later. I hope this helps someone. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1SF1LOmsQjlj4avV-gYzKCIquFU5-LYVqUktVxKq0WuY/edit?usp=sharing

I tried to access the drill provided from a reading comprehension live course and it keeps saying I don't have access to it and need to subscribe to unlock it. I have subscribed today and picked the live subscription. Do you need to have the coach subscription to access these? I am not sure why I can't see them?

Hey 7Sagers,

LSAC has recently unveiled their new writing section, Argumentative Writing. This is the first major change to the writing section since 1982!

How does the new Argumentative Writing section differ from the old writing section, and how should you update your approach? Instructor Alex Jacobs and admissions consultant Jake Baska will be leading a session later today to introduce the new writing section. There will also be an in-class practice writing prompt.

This class is free to all users! You can register for the session here.

Can anyone help me figure out how to blind review after entering answers from a paper test? I understand how to convert to digital and see my score, but I'm hoping to be able to enter my paper answers and then blind review them. Right now, whenever I take a paper test and enter the answers, I'm not able to then get a blind review score and it's breaking my heart!

For some reason only some of my videos give me the option to change video playback speed - is anyone else noticing this?

Sometimes for an easier question video I'll watch it at a faster speed and when I go to the next question I want to slow the video down but it's stuck in the faster speed that I changed it to on the last video. And I've noticed only sometimes the playback speed adjuster function shows up and sometimes does not. Is there a pattern to this or something, like are there maybe certain types of videos that don't have that function that I'm not catching on? I'm having that problem right now and I've tried refreshing the page and no matter however much I try to hover on different parts of the video it's not showing. Not urgent problem but can get annoying.

Hello everyone. I really need some last minute help with my Reading Section, as I take the test in August. I have been averaging -1 to -3 on my LR, however, I have been averaging around -7 to -10 on my RC. I am averaging about a 165-168, but would love to reach a 170. I am looking for a 1 on 1 tutor who can answer my questions and explain to me what I may be doing wrong in my approach for RC. I would love to spend around 50-115 dollars per hour with the tutor. I have tried Varsity Tutors but they were veryyyyy disappointing. Does anyone know any 175+ LSAT tutors that could help me?

Hey ya'll! Does any one know a way to drill one at a time on here like LSAT Demon? And before anyone asks, I do not want to switch to there because i find thier explainations way too belittling. ;(

Hello Everyone,

I just finished to core curriculum and I have a very good understanding of all the concepts. This is just for LR but I took an untimed section just to make sure I have a fundamental understanding of all the concepts and got 24/25. I feel like now I should start drilling and doing practice exams. Can anyone share how they built a study plan like this after the CC. Also how did that help you? If you could go back and give some advice to yourself in my shoes what would you say?

Thanks so much for all your help!

I have seen others in discussions mentioning doing a diagnostic when they started studying. I recently purchased my subscription and wasn't exactly sure what that meant. I did a prep test and simulated the conditions of an actual test as best I could as soon as I purchased, but I'm not sure if that is what exactly was meant by diagnostic. I scored a 158 but figured this could easily be a fluke, so I didn't want to take the score seriously. So, what exactly is the process of doing a diagnostic?

Apologies if this is answered somewhere else on the site.

Hi everyone,

I have strictly used pens for like the last 8 years and have gotten accustomed to using white out as well. Is white out permitted during remote LSAT testing for the scratch paper? Thanks.

I have just been trying to take timed sections and not the whole test, is there a way to do this without starting a full test?

I just completed a timed argumentative essay and wanted to ask if any one else has done an essay and would want to meet to give feedback on each other's work?

So it is honestly my mistake. I am taking the LSAT on June 4th, and I have been studying since January (unfortunately I was unable to manage LSAT studying alongside being a full time student, been very off and on). And I have been scoring mid 140s in the LSAT.

My question is should I cancel my LSAT score for June once I recieve it? I am afraid that when I retake on August that I will recieve a lower score or I will barely improve. I am really hoping I touch a 160 for August. But will it look bad that i took the LSAT twice?

need to make the decision asap. thanks in advance (3(/p)

I am taking the LSAT Wednesday and I have been studying a lot the past two weeks. I am doing really well on sections went from -7 on LR to now around -4 average with some -1 and -2s. RC has gone from -9 to -4 average. My last three sections were -1,-3,-3. Since I have been doing well should I stop studying so I don't get burnt out or keep going as normal because it is working?

Forgot to put this in the feedback forms, but can we, pretty please, keep office hour classes? I personally find it extremely useful to look at the always excellent questions others bring in, and moreover, we get to look some of more recent questions that understandably are left alone in other classes, which in my humble opinion, makes the fact it's a smaller class the perfect setting. Office hours: small but mighty, please reconsider removing them. Much appreciation (for everything)!

Hey all, I've pivoted to drilling individual sections of practice tests and noticed that my splits are almost always better when I take sections separately compared to when I take them all at once (for example, taking all four sections of a PT one at a time, at different times might total -15, whereas taking them all at once to simulate a real LSAT might total -20). When combined, these section scores are better than my typical PT score; I'm obviously capable to getting the questions right, so I was wondering if it was a stamina issue/mental hangup, and how I'd go about fixing it?

I’d like to take the exam in my living room, but the way to my kitchen is open as is the hallway to my front door. If I taped a curtain over both of these openings, thereby making my living room an enclosed box, would this satisfy the test room requirements? If anyone knows or just has suggestions I’d really appreciate it!

How do you guys find ways to handle feeling discouraged? I took a PT after the foundations courses and a few weeks of classes and I didn’t have a good result. I can definitely see an improvement on LR but I’m nowhere close to where I want to be. I know I have a far way to go and so much to learn still but….

Just asking to stay sane haha

If you end up having to retake the exam, what happens if the practice tests that you have left (the ones that are completely fresh/new to you) are very limited? Basically what if you run out of study material but you need to take the exam a second or third time?

I'm taking the LSAT for the first time in August 2025, but I think it's very likely I'll have to retake it. I'm limiting myself to only use odd numbered PTs for full length practice test, sections, and drills. But even then I'm worried about running out of material in the long run.
