Currently, I'm scoring around 156-158, with the goal score of 163. When taking practice tests and blind reviewing, I'm pretty confident in my answer choices and feel like I have a good understanding. I've been going to tons of classes and working on my weaker areas (RC science passages, LR causal reasoning and weakening questions) but the same scores keep staring back at me. It feels like no matter what I do my goal score will always be out of reach. Does anyone have any tips/advice? I'm writing in January and I know I'll end up taking it again in June, so any words of wisdom or commiseration are appreciated.

I would like to start this off by saying I am VERY grateful for my score, and know that a lot of people would do anything for it, so this should not come across as complaining.

I have plateaued right around 168, and would LOVE to break the 170 threshold before the January test. What have you done to break into the 170's? I know that with just 15 days before I sit, much of the work has already been done, but what could I do to get that final push?

Hey, I'm looking to take a diagnostic prep test soon but I don't want to waste any of the newer tests and I am a little bit confused by the numbering for the new prep test format. What would be a good test (or range of tests) to try without it being so old that it's obsolete or so new that its wasteful to do so early?

I had a diagnostic score of 159, and after finishing the syllabus did two PTs with scores of 167 for both. However, the following PTs I did after that were 164, 163, and 163. I took a few days to drill and review lessons for questions I was struggling with, came back and tried another PT that I felt fairly confident in after finishing. I ended up scoring a 158, which is worse than my diagnostic. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong or how to proceed since I am getting progressively worse each time I take a PT despite studying and drilling continuously. Has anyone dealt with this before? Feeling really defeated and worried for the upcoming Jan test.

Hello. I want to drill and practice by question type. I have trouble reading on a screen for a while now and want to print out the questions so I can drill on paper. I don't see an option to download a PDF version when I select question types. I think we can do that for complete Preptests (?). Anyone have any suggestions? Any way to do that on 7sage? Or any other sources I can use?

Happy New Year everyone! May your year be filled with no LSAT tears and lots of high PT & Test day scores :) (the tears may be inevitable but its the thought that counts haha)

Hello everyone! I am taking the LSAT for the first time in a few weeks and it will be remotely proctored. I have a 50% additional time extension for my disability. What should I expect on test day? Will I be alone with a proctor or will there be other students there as well? Also, will I be allowed to use the highlight and cross-out answers features on the actual test? Lastly, will I be able to monitor the time I have left like I can on PTs or will I get some kind of warning about the time I have left? Any response would be much appreciated, I just want to hear from people with testing experience. Also, good luck to my fellow January test-takers!

I don't know what I am doing wrong, or if I am just not smart enough for this test. I have been studying tirelessly on top of working full-time as a paralegal and being a mom of two. I have even hired a 7sage tutor and have now done 4 sessions with very little improvement. For context, my PTs prior to my November LSAT were in the high 140s. My actual score was 139 :/. I have been studying non-stop since and my PT scores are still 139! I don't understand, once I complete BR I can increase my score to 146. All I want is a 155+ for the January test so I can still apply this cycle. The test is 17 days away and I am no where near where I want to be.

I would love to hear how people have increased their score and what has worked for you in actually seeing PT scores increase...HELP!!

I recently purchase the 7Sage curriculum and was able to access and complete both drills and Preptests 4 days ago. Now when I go to do drills or take a Preptest it wont show me the questions unless I have a Law Hub account which costs $120. I am already paying $69 for this. I cannot afford both. Do I need to purchase the other account even though I purchased this one?

Thanks in advance

Hey folks! I'm restarting my studies after taking a break from this past July up until now. I got a 160 on the June '24 LSAT, and I'm hoping to bump that up closer to 170 either by this coming April or June. Any suggestions for warming back up to studying? I'm thinking starting off with untimed drills and moving more toward timed.

Is there a way to view my most recent drilled problems? I have a bank of questions that I've completed but I'm not sure when I completed them.

Over the past 9 PT's (taken over the last three months or so -- I've had to take roughly one PT per two weeks due to other commitments), I have been scoring basically 171-3. BR for these have ranged from 175-180. It feels like the most intense plateau. I usually get around 7-8 wrong, and they're pretty evenly distributed between the two LR sections and the RC section. My intuition tells me that LR is where I can squeeze out some more points (probably RC too, but I really think I have more to give with LR). But I'm totally unsure as to how to get those extra points. It's not like there is a common type of question that I get wrong, even though they generally tend to be the more difficult questions.

I have around 10 modern PT's left. I recently started taking one per week. I'm now wondering if I should space them out more so that I don't run out of material and focus more on drills. Trouble is, I am lost as to what strategy I should take for overcoming this plateau. I was hoping that others who have been in a similar place before and succeeded in breaking the plateau had some tips!

Is the only option to practice is if we upgrade our LSAC account? Does 7sage not provide any tools for practicing with the subscription? I have the LIVE subscription.

For those who have taken the official test, how closely did your official score(s) align with your practice test score(s)? I've been doing pretty well on practice tests, but the imposter syndrome is real and it feels like there's no way I'll do this well on actual test day.

Hey guys! I have run out of material and have been redoing stuff over again, but I feel like I am falling into old thought patterns when I do these because I've seen them before. Ugh. But my sister is building me a tool that will change the names and topics in questions to generate what feels like new material for me (but ofc still all credit/copyright to LSAC for designing the questions). Would you be interested in something like this? Lmk!

I was just taking my first prep test and the first section ended while I still had about 12 minutes on the clock--only 23 minutes had passed according to my own timer. Now I have been locked out of the first section and forced on to the second. Has anyone else experienced this issue?

So I scored a 155 in the October LSAT and then took a break from any material as my Mid Terms and Finals were picking up so I focused on that, especially since I was graduating in December and wanted to make sure I didn't tank my final GPA (3.6).

Recently I received 2x extra time which I did not previously have and have successfully requested accommodations for the February LSAT.

My question is, should I apply now and send an addendum letting them know to expect a higher score after the Feb LSAT, or just hold off until that score comes in and apply with it then? I'm shooting specifically for U Miami (median 163) and FIU (median 160). I was actually just recently deferred from U Miami after an ED application for further context.

I plateaued in the low 160s and it has stared to become a mental frustration for me. Just when I feel like something clicks and I take a PT the same scores keep staring at me...

I have sat for the test twice now and have scored in my band, but below my usual, and below my band. I really want to try to apply for this cycle but I am started to get fed up...

Any suggests for how to look at all this a new way? RC is my weak spot but LR has not been doing too great lately (big surprise there I take it that most hate the section with a burning passion...)
