Hi everyone!

I am planning on applying for law school this upcoming fall, so fall of 2026 with the hopes of starting law school in 2027. When do you think I should aim to take my first lsat? I began studying in December, my diagnostic was a 160 and I am aiming for around a 168! I have heard a lot of mixed reviews about taking in in April vs. June, with some saying April is too early to take one, but others saying June is too late for a first attempt. Any advice anyone has on this would be super helpful :)

Hey Everyone! My lsat is in a week and im not sure what to focus on in my last couple days of studying? What should I do??

I took my first timed LR after foundational lessons and I tanked it, 14/25😞. In BR I did a lot better, 22/25, and immediately understood why I got the 3 questions wrong. So, I feel like I understand the concepts but time is the issue. Any tips on improvement?

Also, I take my LSAT in April. Do I have enough time to improve?

When configuring a drill, I manually select "Fresh" even though it's already set to it, since a good half (if not the majority) of the questions I'm provided are ones I've answered before. Has anyone else experienced this?

Happy New Year! 🥳

Upon reviewing my writing section submission for the Jan LSAT, I found 5-6 typos - minor, but certainly present (i.e., grammar splices, redundancies, etc.). Is this going to set me back from an admissions perspective?

Hello everyone, I am writing my first ever LSAT next weekend, jan 10th.

I am wondering when the best time to do the writing section is?

I have heard many different POV, and I'm wondering what worked best/didn't work for you?

thanks!

Hi! When I first started studying I took most recent ptests within the 150s and worked backwards. as i get closer to the test I have been redoing those with the 150s with mixed results. which ptests should I take closest to the real thing to get me prepared?

and does anyone have a recommended list of ptests to take leading up (ex. varied as ptests 149, 154, 132, 147, etc. )? Thank you!!

is this possible or is it pure luck

I am slightly unhappy with the explanations provided in PT 159. While I do appreciate the detail, some of them are so long that I end up struggling to actually figure out why something is right or wrong. Would appreciate them being cut down like the acs on other pts.

My scores on older prep tests are consistently higher (by about 5 points) than newer ones. I feel as I am taking these newer tests that the questions are visibly more difficult. Am I crazy or is there any credence to this observation. I am taking the February LSAT; should I abandon the older tests and study only the new ones in preparation? I appreciate any insight. Thanks.

I'm taking my final LSAT in January, and I feel like I've done a good job with maintaining nerves (which was my biggest obstacle) so I can better retain strategies and not get overwhelmed.

But I'm also scared, and I'm not trying to put so much pressure on it, anyone know what to do?

Hi, I just started learning for the LSAT just a week ago and took a diagnostic test. I got a 147 which is a little discouraging, but I'm staying focused and motivated. I intend to score in the high 170s.

I noticed that my main problem was speed and comprehension. The pressure of the timer really gets to me and makes it harder to focus on what I'm reading. I've faced this problem in many tests in the past. I know I can up my base score to at least the low 150s just by fixing this timing problem and no additional LSAT prep.

All the words jumble together and stop meaning anything, then I panic about wasting time, lose my train of thought and the cycle begins again. In the end I completely missed 4-6 questions in each section alone just because of timing. I'm considering applying for accommodation when the time comes, but I want to plan for worst case scenario.

Here are the things I'm planning to do:

1. Timed drills every other day, with less time than on the official LSAT

2. I ask Chat GPT to generate boring, and difficult to read passages every day, then answer questions on them to increase my general reading compression skills. (I usually avoid AI so if anyone has recommendations that replace Chat GPT please let me know)

3. Start doing regular daily activities - like cooking breakfast, getting ready, etc. - with timers. My thought process is that If I get used to timing things in general it will eventually feel like less pressure?

That's all I've got. Does any one have any tips on how to work faster? And how to get rid of that timer/test anxiety?

can someone help me understand this; i legit couldnt even get through the stimulus

Some of you have noticed that question type tags for some of the "Bonus" PTs (PT7 through 23) are off. We're not trying to gaslight you! We're aware of this issue and are in the process of fixing.

I just took PT 152 and scored 159 - significantly lower than PT 157 which I took a few days ago and scored 170 on. Been scoring mid to high 160s in general. Feeling really discouraged as I'm taking the LSAT in 10 days.

I feel like the concepts blurred together on this most recent test. Granted, I didn't do a ton of review on the previous PT, but I'm trying to do more full PTs because I haven't done a whole lot of them. It feels like it's so easy for me to forget how to apply concepts and make mistakes if I'm not constantly reviewing and studying the concepts, but I'm not sure how to balance my study time. I know I probably should have taken more rest days between the last test and this one.

Anyone experience something like this and have any suggestions? Do I just need to rest more? Review concepts and explanation videos? Is PT 152 unusually hard? Reading comp used to be a strength, this time I had so much trouble summarizing every paragraph and brain was a blur. Feeling so frustrated at having worked so hard to get to my goal score (been studying for about 1.5 years starting at low 140s) and things feel all over the place so soon before the test. Any advice on mental perspective?

Thank you in advance for any insights. Good luck to everyone out there taking the January test.

How do i maximize the utility of my wrong answer journal? I have been writing down what I did wrong, but im still making the same mistakes...

Hi!

I'm going back over the Foundations but struggling to find a section that discussed probability and how it links with formal and informal logic (conditional vs causal reasoning).

Can anyone signpost to something on 7Sage that covers this?

Thanks!

Hello, since the site shut down, why am I being charged for classic 7sage?

I’m retaking the LSAT in January and I’ve been feeling pretty confident about reaching my target score. That said, I’m starting to question whether my current timing strategy, especially for is optimal (especially for RC).

I usually make sure I leave enough total time to complete all four RC passages and their questions, but when I look more closely at my timing breakdown, I notice that I read passages quite quickly and then spend more time than expected on the questions themselves.

I’m trying to develop a more intentional timing plan that accounts for passage difficulty and question count. My usual approach is to move through the first passage fairly quickly (without sacrificing accuracy), take a bit more time on the second without letting it drag, and then spend more than half of my remaining time on the final two passages.

Recently, I tried something different: I completed an RC section while being very deliberate about timing—tracking how long I spent on each paragraph, how long I spent reading each passage, and how much time I spent answering the questions for each passage. I ended up with a –13, which is the worst I’ve scored this month. For context, over the past month my RC scores have ranged from –5 to –13, with an average around –10. I’m not sure whether being this granular with timing is helping or hurting.

I’m also wondering if my timing for Logical Reasoning is alright. I have double-time accommodations, and while that gives me flexibility, I’m not always sure how much of that extra time I should be allocating to going back and double-checking flagged questions at the end. I usually try and leave around 5 minutes at the end to go back. Why I took the actual LSAT for the first time I didn't have anytime to go back to review any flagged questions and did pretty bad, so I'm trying to be more mindful with how I allocate my time.

I’d really appreciate any insight into how others structure their RC and LR timing, and how you balance passage reading vs. question time.

I went from a ~148 diagnostic (don't remember) in May of 2025. I took my first LSAT in October after studying nonstop over the summer and into the school year. I got a 155. I was disappointed. Very upset. I only rose 7 points in 5 months. I had 3 weeks to lock in. Constant drilling. Over 8 practice tests. I have a 165. I am almost done applying to law schools. Bang.

165!!!!!!

New remote time slots are available for all days :)

I just scored a 164 on PT138.

I never really post on discussions, but I am genuinely desperate at this point. I've been scoring in the 140's for months now. I've studied for hours and hours on end for months, took the Nov LSAT, got a low 140. I registered for the Jan LSAT, and I am still scoring basically the same thing. I really don't know what to do. If any one else is/was in the same boat as me, I welcome any advice/tips for studying. I wanted to start my first semester of law school in the fall of 2026, but with the way things are going, I truly am discouraged. I don't know if it's burnout or if I am just not giving myself enough time to study, I'm just totally frustrated with myself and I feel like maybe I'm just not getting it. I'm also worried about how long it will take me to improve my score, since its taken so much time already. i don't want to delay my law school career more than I already have.

Help.

Is prep test 156 unusually difficult or am I just really burnt out?

I’ve been doing prep tests every other day to prepare for the January exam

I took Pt156 today and by far I think it’s the most difficult one I’ve taken(it’s not my worst score but the questions were so tough I was on the verge of tears)

On that note are there any rules on test day that say anything about silently crying? just in case lol

Hello! I was wondering if anyone else has a similar issue and if anything has helped? I generally do well in RC, but I typically miss the most questions on the second passage, sometimes even the first, which is generally easy/medium difficulty. My guess is that the middle passages typically have more questions, so it could be timing, but I'm wondering if anyone had thoughts!

Thanks!
