Hi everyone! I took the January LSAT and made a 161 which is a good score but I'm aiming for a 170. I started studying again right at the end of May. I've done five full exams so far with the following scores:

PT 74- 160 (Diagnostic)

PT 81- 162 (BR 164)

PT 79- 163 (BR 164)

PT 78- 164 (BR 166)

PT 67- 164 (BR 168)

I work full-time so I study in the evenings or early in the morning. During the week I typically complete timed practice sections and review them, going back to my notes or lessons when I need to. On the weekends I take a full exam and do BR. Then, I review the exam in-depth over a few days. I've improved a lot on LG but am still not quite there on LR or RC. Lately, I've been struggling more than usual on RC for some reason (I'm not sure why).

I was wondering what advice folks have for me. I've been staying positive and I think I'm genuinely improving every week but I just need an extra push to keep bringing my score up. I'm hoping to take the exam by the end of this year. Thank you in advance for your advice! :)

Hey guys,

So I’ve been studying on and off for about two years made little progress and I’m starting to reaalize it may be the result of my learning disability. In high school I had a reader read tests for me. As far as I understand the lsat must accommodate test takers.

I was wondering what having a reader would look like for the test and if anyone here had used a reader on test day.

I plan to begin studying at the end of this week but I’m not exactly sure how I should take the test, in the sense that I should have someone read it to me.

Any advice would be great.

Thanks

Hello,

I realized that I am repeatedly getting inference questions wrong in LR and RC and am kind of confused about inferences in general. I also feel like I am not getting LG questions write because I have a hard time with inferences. Any suggestions?

Hi all!

I just reserved a time slot, 4:30PM PDT, for my August Flex. However, I just realized that in the previous email of LSAC, the times available are 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Eastern Time. Does it mean no time slot can be selected after 4 p.m. PDT? Does anyone have similar issues?

Thank you for your help in advance!

Hi guys I'm in dire need of advice. I scheduled for the August flex thinking I'd have enough time to study and get the score I want, however, that's not the case at all. I'm 2 weeks away from the test. I tried to reschedule some time ago, but the deadline already passed. Has anyone ever tried rescheduling last minute with the LSAC before? and if it worked for you at all?

I scored a 144 on the July flex LSAT and want to score a 155 on the October date. I barely studied the first time, is my goal score too unrealistic or is it realistic? Just need feed back, because I'm very worried. Trying to apply for schools, so I can attend next fall. Help!

Hi there! I am currently scheduled to take the August LSAT flex (it is now spread out over a week) and signed up for one on September 2nd. I know that typically you have until the day before the LSAT to drop out, but since this one was supposed to be on August 29th, I was wondering if anyone knew if I had to drop by the 28th or if I could drop on September 1st. Thank you!

I'm taking the LSAT Flex at the end of this month. My laptop's built-in mic hasn't been working for the past week and I learned, today, that replacing it would mean replacing the entire laptop. I have a desktop microphone I can use but I'm unsure of whether LSAC allows this while taking the Flex and I can't seem to find an answer online or get anyone from LSAC on the phone.

Anyone have experience with this?

Hi all!

I've been having a bit of trouble with routine and structure in regards to a study schedule. I was wondering- how does your day to day look like when studying? Do you guys do 1 PT a week and X number of sections/ drills? What has worked for you/ what hasn't? What's reasonable to do in a day/ week, etc?

I just feel a little lost on how to study effectively (and not just study to say I did and waste materials). I need to build a structured routine so I can be self- disciplined and see results, and I know it varies for each person but I would appreciate any insight! TAA!

Is the scaled scoring for flex style practice tests accurate? I'm finding discrepancies between my tests but can't tell whether they are due to different scales for different PTs or a problem with the scoring algorithm when using the Flex option. I'm trying to get an accurate idea of what my score might be!

Hey,

Planning on taking the October flex. I am PTing around 146-150 with goals of hitting around a 160 by October. If anybody would like to be my study buddy or even be a part of a study group. Please let me know!

Hey guys! I'm new here and I wanted to introduce myself. I'm also potentially thinking about joining a study group and/or looking for a study buddy... not sure yet though. I'm thinking it might be nice to have someone to share resources with, and discuss questions with. How does that work on here? I'm pretty hesitant to give out my personal info... but it looks like we can send private messages on here?

I'm thinking I will end up taking the June 2021 LSAT exam. I was initially shooting for November, but I only started studying at the end of June (2020), and I would love to unlock as much of my potential as possible.

My background is classical music, but going to law school is starting to become the dream I never knew I had. I'm particularly interested in social justice work, anyone else?

Anyway, just wanted to say hi and if nothing else I look forward to chatting with you all in the comments!

I'm scoring timed PT in low-mid 160s and BR in low-mid 170s, with differences averaging anywhere between 6-12 points!

Has anyone else had such a wide gap between the two scores? And if so, know of anything that helped close that gap??

In BR, I get all LG questions correct (normally no more in -4 in timed), which helps, and I know how to improve there.. but..

For RC, it's usually silly mistakes or misreading that I messed up during timed run.

For LR, it's a lot of me choosing the trap answer choice during timed run, and not figuring that out until BR. #HELP

Does anyone know how to go about getting an LSAT tutor/how an tutor would help you? I haven't done all the 7Sage curriculum or done many practice test, but the ones I have taken I have averaged 152. Would I be better off saving money and doing all the curriculum and doing more PTs, or would a tutor be even more beneficial? It's not that I don't understand the material it's just that I don't have a lot of practice I think. Also does anyone know how much a tutor would be for about 3 months? TIA
