3 tests within a week and it's the same score. All 3 had me performing high on one sections while the other 2 sections alternatively dipped. I've taken every PT up to 69. I'm drilling like a machine everyday for 10-12 hours. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Should I scale back and read more on strategies (I find those painfully boring and would rather review my mistakes). This exam is making me want to take an IQ test and ask questions about how I was able to go through undergrad. The caffein in my body can feed a town for an entire year. 12 hours per day and I'm still stuck in mid 150s. How does one even get the same score all three times? I'm literally crying.
Hello!
So, I registered for the October 3rd LSAT and all it tells me about the testing center is that it is "near Toronto" in Canada and it does not give any more details about location. Does this mean I cannot choose my testing location or do those options become available later? I was just wondering if this is normal or if I did something incorrectly when registering.
Thank you in advance!
Do people find it helpful to do drills, or is it better to just go right to doing practice tests? I have books with a bunch of practice drills in them but I’m taking the LSAT in October, so would it be better to just skip them? I understand the concepts but don’t know if it’s worth it to keep reinforcing them

Hi everyone! I'm taking the LSAT for the first time on August 29. I'm kind of confused about the timeline of the LSAT and the writing section. LSAC says that the writing section "will be available in your online account eight days prior to every test administration." Does that mean that I must complete the writing section within that time frame? I'm confused about this because the website also says "Beginning with the August LSAT-Flex, all test takers must have a completed writing sample on file before they will receive their score or have their score released to law schools." Could someone please clarify this for me? I'm planning on applying to schools this October, so I'm assuming I can complete the writing any time before then? Thanks in advance!!
After the Tuesday quarantine hangouts I've been keeping an eye out for the YouTube videos to be uploaded. Just wanted to share with those who may not have been aware of this resource or maybe forgot about it! Posting the link that brings you to the first lesson!
My actual score for PT drilling has been staying relatively the same, I have gotten a couple 160s but for the most part it is staying in the high 150s. But when I do my BR I am getting mid 160s. My BR scores from my earlier PTs to my most recent have increased by about 10 points so I can see improvement in understanding, but it is not translating to my actual score. Has anyone noticed the same or have any advice?
I'm in desperate need of some advice! I've been studying since around March using a bunch of different resources. My PT scores were all over the place, with a 173 as my highest and a 161 as my lowest. My average was about a 166 and my goal was a 168. I took the July LSAT and scored a 164, which was obviously below my goal but not as bad as it could have been.
The dilemma I'm facing now is if I should retake, and if so, when. I'm currently registered for the August LSAT, but I could always try to postpone to October.
Some more info: my dream schools are GW, Fordham, and BU. Undergrad GPA from NYU was 3.95, graduated summa cum laude. I feel confident I could get into the three schools I listed above with my GPA and current LSAT score, but not sure about significant scholarships. I'm incredibly blessed and won't need to take out loans regardless, but would love to not have to pay full price.
Here's the caveat: I'm having an immensely difficult time finding motivation right now, as my family is facing a lot of external stressors and I can't seem to focus. I haven't really studied at all since receiving my score a week ago, and I'm worried that if I don't put in enough time to study, my score could possibly decrease.
So, the question is: should I risk retaking, and if so, when? Do y'all think there's still a possibility that I could get into one of those schools with a scholarship, even with my lower LSAT score? I would so much appreciate any and all advice cause I am quite overwhelmed right now.
I've been studying for the LSAT for about a year now. Took the June LSAT flex, wasn't prepared for the format, and got a 165.
My goal is a 175+ and have been practice testing at that average [Last 5 in last 4 days: 178 (PT77), 175 (PT78), 176 (PT81), 168 (PT 75), 178 PT C2] but I sometimes have a test below 170. If I test below 170 I usually take another test later in the day and get a 175+. I really don't want to get below a 173 on this one and the occasional test below 170 concerns me. There are about three weeks till the real test so there's still some time to adjust if you all have any good advice. Is this variance a real concern or am I overthinking this? For people that scored a 175+ what was your historical variance like/how many tests did you take going in/how confident did you feel going in?
Thanks for the help!
Is he in a ride? A train?
I'm curious!
Is the truth out there?
I’m sure this has been answered somewhere but do law schools see if you cancelled a score? Just wondering if it would look worse to get not a great score or to cancel a score
I am wondering whether there would be any downsides to taking the flex in August with the score preview option? I am doing well on my PTs but I have only taken 4 and could use more confidence in general on them so maybe more time would be helpful. I am wondering if law schools could see that I canceled the August score if I didn't like it?
I plan on taking the LSAT in late Spring/early Summer next year but I'm not sure what would be the better option since it is unknown whether a normal test administration will be back by then. Anyone else in the same boat?
hi guys. for those of you who have taken an LSAT Flex already I was wondering how the proctoru registration works. I am registered for the August flex; am I supposed to register for an account myself or will LSAC email us directions about it? If so, do you know when they typically send out this email?
Thank you! :)
Does anyone else feel discouraged when their LSAT score doesn’t improve no matter how much you practice ? I am currently stuck with my score and I don’t know what else to do. I practice 18-20 hours weekly with LR & LG, I have been doing this for over six months now and I don’t see any difference in my score which makes me very discouraged. I also noticed that with LR questions, I’m almost close to choosing the correct answer, when in fact I chose the wrong answer and that keeps happening. If any of you guys have any tips on what I could possibly do, I’m not taking the LSAT until November. I would very appreciate it ! Thank you
hi does anyone know when we will receive the email from LSAC to sign up for Proctor U for the August lsat flex?
Thoughts? Feelings? Concerns?
I remember the highlight feature was pretty buggy on the digital tablet form of the test (pre-covid). Is the highlight feature more reliable with the flex? I'll be using a wireless mouse.
Of course, you can't talk to yourself during an in-person exam with others in the room. But I am wondering if the flex rules might be more lenient with this, since there won't be anyone to disturb. Anyone have insight as to whether talking during the flex is prohibited?
I purchased the ultimate plus a year ago and it set to expire in September. Is there a way to extend it? Or to i have to buy it all over again?
Hi all! I'm looking for someone to go over LR sections with, i was essentially thinking we can go through a section together and talk through it! That way in a sense we are both learning and could help each other out. Let me know if you are interested
So I recently purchased the prep test plus add on from LSAC and 7sage is telling me that its still not working. I wanna get my analytics for online tests. How do I make this work?
Standard success and "thank you" post to 7Sage. J.Y. and crew, y'all are legends. Of note: I did switch up my study techniques, and how I used some of the 7sage tools. So, if anyone is on a plateau feel free to reach out. Generally speaking, I really leaned into the questions I got wrong and questions that took me too long. I also had to fool proof every game possible. T'was a grind y'all. Good luck!
