Hey everyone,

So I've been going through the core curriculum and have a few questions about the analytics after every page, specifically related to the curve.

What does it actually mean when it says "Score of students with a 50% chance of getting this right?" What does that 50% chance actually refer to, and how can you relate it to yourself? Especially if you don't do blind review, you have up to 5 answers. How is this determined and how can you actually apply it to yourself and your understanding of a particular question type?

Cheers

Thank you 7Sage for the games!

Aside from it being a new fun way to learn, I found it quite illuminating that some things that I thought were a bit challenging for me are more challenging than I thought, and the things I was concerned about I am better at than I thought.

Awesome new tool.

random q: the study schedule generated for me did not include some of the "try me" questions listed in the LR reviews (for example i was only asked 5/13 from the RRE section). Was this for a reason or should i go back and complete the ones listed under "all lessons"? thanks!

Study Tips

I'm starting to study and plan to take the LSAT in 2027. Anyone have tips on staying consistent with study routines? General advice for someone starting out, how long I should be studying for per day? Anything helps!

I take the LSAT in 20 days. In the past 3 months, I've done the following: 139, 142, 149, 151, and 154. Is it possible to get to a 157-160 in 3 weeks if I lock in and knock it out? I've never studied, I just take a practice test occasionally. I need to take it seriously.

Found a funny little bug lol [BUG]

If you activate the Keyboard Highlight mode (by clicking that highlighter on the right tool column) and happen to have Grammarly on, you can apparently change the stimulus lol.

At Harvard, 21% of undergraduates received disability accommodations last year, an increase of more than 15% over the past decade, according to data published by the National Center for Education Statistics analyzed by the Harvard Crimson. Top schools like Brown, Cornell, and Yale reported similar numbers, roughly in line with national trends. But the increase is more pronounced at other institutions: 34% of students at Amherst College and 38% at Stanford are registered as disabled, according to The Atlantic

Experts note that many students have medical conditions that merit accommodations, and the increase is in part linked to broader access to mental-health care and reduced stigma around seeking support.

The rise has nonetheless drawn national attention, with some critics arguing that students are abusing the system to secure lighter workloads or an edge in hypercompetitive classrooms.

I would like to get insight into a dilemma I'm currently having. To preface, I'm horrible at standardized tests. In November of 2025 I took the LSAT after self-studying and got a 149. Then hired Kaplan, and took the LSAT again in April 2026, and scored a 156. More context: I get massive test anxiety and constantly rethink my answers on the test, even with the tips from Kaplan.

I was originally planning on applying for Fall 2027 law school, but I'm not too sure if my score can get me into the right school I'd like. Right now, I'm looking to go into big law of some sort, and I know many of the bigger firms recruit from bigger law schools. I also don't know how much scholarship I would get if I applied to a school above the median of my score (so, schools with a 157-159 median), and what my chances are at schools above my median. My undergrad GPA was a 3.82, which is in line with schools' medians LSAT around 164. My master's degree I got a 3.70, but I have heard schools only look at undergrad GPA. I am currently working in a big law firm right now, and can be here for 1-2 years, but I'd like to go to law school sooner than later and get this degree.

I haven't looked at LSAT stuff since my test in April, so if I were to retake it, I would probably take it in October? I also just don't know how much my score can go up from the 156. Will schools see the original jump from 149-156 and see that as a good thing alongside my GPA? Does that boost my chances at a law school with a slightly higher median? Or should I just hire an admissions consultant to really make other parts of my application shine (i.e. the essays)? Moral of the story, I don't really want to take this test again, but if I have to, I will. I just want to make sure the score actually goes up rather than down.

Willing to hear all opinions!!

GUYS!! RC has always been my weakness, In my last 2 LSAT administrations, I have consistently done subpar because my RC would be like -8 to -13 scoring mid to low 150's. But recently, in the last month I have been grinding out RC and reviewing all my AC's really hard. My RC score is now consistently in the very low single digits. Furthermore, my LR has been spectacular too. This feeling is amazing - never give up y'all, because it WILL get better.

Personal Statement

Is this a good personal statement topic?

I am planning to write about how I feel that I have two feelings of "home". One in Ireland and one in the United States. I am going to write about how I have struggled with feeling stuck in between the two places, then tie it into what skills I learned as a result of my experiences. And how those skills would benefit me as an attorney.

RC glitch?

Hi is anyone having the issue where when you scroll towards the end of an RC passage it bumps you back to the top over and over again? I was just taking a PT and lost a lot of time trying to simply read the last paragraph because my computer kept glitching out. Has anyone found any fixes?

I took the LSAT in June and scored a little lower than desired, so I am retaking in Sep. I had studied Jan-June, with about 10 weeks of practice blocks. I now only have 4 fresh full PTs available to take, but at least 7 PT "slots" (ie saturdays between now and Sep test).

What is the best approach here? Should I save all 4 for the weeks directly leading up to Sep? Should I alternate? What should I do in weeks without a fresh PT (take old old fresh PTs, create my own PTs with 4 sections pulled from partially fresh PTs, etc)?

Any feedback would be helpful!

hey everyone!!

Quick question!

I finished my lessons on foundations and have moved on to logical reasoning section in my study plan. Im not sure if Im studying properly though...

During foundations I took notes and wrote down and then did the drills. However, since logical reasoning section doesn't really contain much information that I think I need to necessarily write down, what I do is I just practice all the questions on my own (even the ones that are uploaded just as a video I do the question first on my own and If I get the question wrong I watch the video lessons to see how it should've been solved and the methods used).

Does anybody else do it this way for this section on the study plan or do you guys have a different method to study/ am I doing it wrong?

Hi everyone! I'm hitting a wall on LR. For some reason I keep missing questions in the 15-20 range of the section, usually getting 3-4 wrong in a row during that stretch. There isn't necessarily a pattern in the type of question im getting wrong just their placement in the test. The frustrating part is that on blind review, I get them all right. Anyone have tips for pushing through this kind of patch?

New RC UI

I know the new UI was built in response to how LSAC has changed their settings, but with the new scroll feature on a lot of the reading comp paragraphs, my computer keeps bouncing me back up to the top of my readings whenever I reach the bottom, it is very frustrating trying to fight my computer while in a timed setting, is there a way to fix to this, or is this another hurdle I have to get through?

Late starters

Hi!

I’m currently 30 and my diagnostic 154, im thinking of signing the LSAT in November. I study but go back in forth with being worried about starting so much later in age.

Any late(r) starters here?? What do you do to keep yourself motivated?

Hi all! Do you guys typically watch the lessons in order, or do you watch them based on what you want help on? I'm about 28% through foundations and while I feel the information is valuable, I can't help but feel I want to jump straight into the LR or RC lessons. What do you guys typically do and what works for you?
