I've become really inconsistent on my PT scores. For the last ~7 PTs I've taken over the course of the summer, I've started to jump between mid-high 160s to 170+ basically every other PT. I've scored above 170 enough times that it feels like those aren't flukes but I also cannot tell what is going wrong on the PTs that are on the lower end. Any advice on being more consistent? :)

I'll be taking the LSAT online next week. I was wondering if anyone with experience could comment on what the room check is like? I'll have to be taking it in my living room, where I have books, a mirror, my kitchen etc. Should I take out books in advance? Not sure what to expect, would appreciate any anecdotes.

Good luck everyone!

BR GROUP NOTES:

I was attempting to create my user account and I am very confused. Does anyone know how to go about the section where it says "institutions'

.

Yesterday i took my second PT where my score went up by 1. However, my accuracy for 4 star and 5 star went up (40% and then 8%, respectively). My other percentages were largely the same. Any tips or guidance on just how I ended up at this point and potentially. Is there a way I should study? Did you encounter a similar problem? If so, how did u get out?

Not very happy with my score, but im happy my understanding of the harder questions went up (in this PT there were more 5 and 4 star questions as well) PLS LMK I could use the help

I am planning to take June and JFKU is one of the few centers nearby. However, I heard the seating at JFKU law in both Oct and February was very bad and multiple people were seated on the same desk.

If you took the test at JFKU recently, can you describe how seating was for you or message me?

What are your best tips/advice for the writing portion of the LSAT? How have you been/did you prepare for this?

I am looking for flashcard sets I can find on quizlet that cover the concepts in each section (Foundation, LR, and RC). Key words to look for, common question stems for each question type, common right and wrong answers for each question type etc. Just things to help improve accuracy and strategy!

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?

I've been going through the PT'S sequentially since pt 36. Got my best score on the last one I took which was pt64 and then yesterday i took pt 65. What was that!? Two 5star rc passages, extremely unusual lr questions, it was a nightmare. Did anyone else take this pt and halfway through felt like they've never taken a pt before?

Hey guys, I took the June LSAT and I didn't score what I wanted. Im taking it again in August and feel more prepared. I was wondering if anyone had any input if I should sign up for the September one or if I should wait till the October one? HELP!

Proctors: The proctors were the school staff and were reasonable. The main supervisor did announcements regarding test instructions from the podium in the lecture hall over the mic so everybody could hear it. The test was done in a very large lecture Hall and all the test takers were in that single big hall.

Facilities: The restrooms were right outside the lecture hall. It got crowded during the break and there was a small line in front of the restrooms, but not something that was too bad.

What kind of room: The Hall was very large with seating for about 300-500 people, but test takers were seated so that one seat between consecutive test takers was left empty. This was almost necessary as else the test takers would have been seated too close. There were around 100-150 test takers in the hall.

How many in the room: ~100-150

Desks: The desks were long continuous lecture hall style of seating. The chairs were individual and height-adjustable.

Left-handed accommodation: Not left handed so I can't tell, but the desk chair style didn't appear to pose an issue for left-handedness.

Noise levels: The nature of large lecture Hall meant that there could be people sneezing, coughing, sniffling at times. I happened to get the wrong seat where two test takers right next to me were sick and were sneezing for various sections of the test. This did distract me in the middle of a very tough section as it got louder. Other than test takers noises, there wasn't any other noise.

Parking: Right next to the lecture Hall room. The parking is marked with a notice that it requires parking permit, but they said one could park there. It would have been better if they put up a notice next to parking notice that the LSAT test takers could park there during the duration of the test.

Time elapsed from arrival to test: About an hour.

Irregularities or mishaps: None that I noticed.

Other comments: The only main issue was noise from other sick test takers due to the nature of the large Lecture Hall

Would you take the test here again? likely yes

Date[s] of Exam[s]: Dec 2015

I just took the June LSAT but I haven't done the essay yet, so I wrote a practice one under timed conditions. I'm a strong writer & editor but I have been out of college for a year and a little rusty on writing these argumentative style essays. I'm going to take the essay in the next couple days, but does anyone want to compare practice essays and give each other a little feedback? I took argumentative essay #2 on LawHub, but I'm open to other topics ofc

I wanted to take a moment to really shout out tutor and course instructor James Marmaduke for going above and beyond. Through a twist of fate, I ended up registered for his Feb 2025 advanced LSAT course and he genuinely cares about each and every one of his students. From my personal experience, especially if you are very self-accountable, I can truly say that a class with James would be worth investing in. As I sat through our first weekly check-in, I was surprised at how much he actually cared about my overall LSAT journey and how obvious that this was more than just a job for him. Also sending much thanks and appreciation to Thomas Langmuir for his patience and support in making this happen in the first place!

My last 4 pt's have been on average a score of 159. The law school I want to go to has a median lsat of 159. Should I keep PT'ing over the spring and summer and take the test in September and apply in October of this year? At what point would I want to get my recommendation letters and other loose ends of my application tied up? What scores should I be seeing before I stop PT's and sign up for the real thing? Thanks

Hi! I took my diagnostic yesterday and I am hoping to take the August LSAT. I finished the Arguments section, and I am wondering what the practice test timeline should be? When should I take my first PT after my diagnostic? I know 7sage says to not take more than 1-2 PTs a week, but when should you begin taking them regularly?

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)!

If my plan is to "study" for 12ish hours a week, how is that broken down? Do I do 12 hrs of lessons? Or do I finish a section and then practice questions, live classes, or podcasts for that section? If I do the latter, how much time do I spend on each section, and how do I know when to move on?

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!

Hey all, Congrats to those that finally conquered the LSAT this past Saturday. As an Lsatter that plans to take the exam in June Reading Comp quickly went from my strongest section to my weakest since I began my prep and I was wondering if there were any books that anyone on here recommends for Reading Comp. I have the Powerscore trilogy but the RC book is not as acclaimed. I plan on watching @nicole.hopkins webinar for reading comp for any tips I may find. For people that ultimately did well on RC, was there a source you used for help or was it one of those things that came after practice?(I've also read The Trainer, LG Bible and I am half way through the LR Bible while drilling after each chapter and reviewing afterwards atm btw).

How will 7Sage be affected by LSAC maintenance scheduled from 7/11 - 7/13 and 7/24 - 7/28? Will we still able to practice test / drill? If not, what can we do to ensure we have study material during these outages in service?

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 just cancelled my July score and I was planning to retake in October, but there aren't any available in Vancouver. Spots in Surrey and Burnaby are also all full? Do you guys think there's a chance that more spots will open up, will they open a Vancouver testing center? or should I register for November?

Thanks!

Wondering if anyone else has this issue of answering then doing blind review and your first answer is right but you then doubt it and overthink and choose a wrong one. How much does intuition play into this test
