Hey everyone,

I just took the August LSAT today. My GPA is super low, so I really need a low 170s score. My PTs were in the 150s, so I already know I’m definitely retaking in October.

Since I know the grind isn't over, I'd love some advice on navigating this weird in-between phase:

Rest: How do you actually relax right now knowing you have to test again?

Mindset: How do you avoid burnout and get your head right for round two?

Game Plan: How much time off should I take before diving back into prep for October?

Any tips from people who have been in this exact spot would be awesome. Thanks!

took the test today completely sick… like i literally left the center on the verge of passing out :/ i just hope i get a good score ☹️

I'm literally taking the LSAT tomorrow, and they removed the full-screen feature just a few hours ago.

They also confirmed in the email that full-screen mode won't be available.

Without full screen, there are three different scroll bars in RC—one for the passage, one for the answer choices, and one for the entire page. They all move independently, and it's making it really hard to focus.

Does anyone know if there's a way to keep the scroll bars fixed or make the layout easier to work with? Any tips from people who've taken it this way would be greatly appreciated.

Good luck August LSAT takers! I hope everything goes smoothly despite the last-minute interface change.

If anyone is taking the LSAT today or tomorrow please let me know if it full screens automatically when you start the test. I was just doing a double check on the UI today because my test is on Friday and it looks like they removed it. I know they made other changes like the font, but this would really suck if RC isn't full screened since that is how i've always pted.

Thank you!

When I practice RC sections in just a 35-minute block, I am averaging -3. I am still working to fix my flaws, but I'm usually getting maybe only one wrong per passage. When I am doing a practice test, my RC section drops down to a -8. I know in the moment that I can feel that I am not as focused, but I am not sure what I can do to correct this. Any tips? Thank you!!!

Good luck everyone tomorrow and the following days!

Get rest, remember to breathe and celebrate!!!

I have only been studying since late May and take my first (and hopefully only) official LSAT Friday. That being said, my studying has gone well, and I have had 3 PTs at or above my goal score and have seen more consistency on sections in the past month. However, I have been told that people often score lower on test day than they do on PTs. I know this will obviously vary from person to person, but have you experienced worse performance on test day than you do on PTs, or have you scored within your practice range on the real deal?

hello everyone!

I'm taking the LSAT this Saturday 8/8, and I just registered to take it again in October. I decided to register for another one because my prep scores are not where I'd want them to be.

I went from really understanding the foundational concepts in the beginning of my study journey and doing well in LR, to eventually feeling overwhelmed with everything I learned and finding myself stalling during questions. I would get all questions that are difficulty level 1-3 correct, and miss level 4 questions. Then eventually, I found myself randomly missing even the most simple questions because I would overcomplicate both the stimulus and question.

I'm planning on going into the August exam and give it my all, but my new plan immediately after is preparing myself for the October test. My undergrad GPA is a 3.2 from UCLA, not the best, and so I'm really depending on my lsat score to be a 170 and above for both scholarship purposes and overall choices.

can anyone give me some advice on what to focus on from here. do I go back to foundations for a while, should I focus on drilling and reviewing wrong answer choices, little bit of both? I just don't want to waste time again and I want to ensure my study method is strong. any tips or methods that have worked for you guys would be really useful for me. also I'm curious to know how often you all study...I work 8-5 mon-friday, so I'm not sure if that schedule is getting in my way more than I think.

and if you're in the same boat with any of this, I'd love to hear your experience as well.

thank you!

I went from a 149 in May on PT140 to a 162 yesterday on PT143 and I am ecstatic!

I'll be working on endurance in the coming months as I prepare to take the October exam (currently focusing just on the actual scored sections, but exp is next), but I'm wondering where I should continue next. I am super proud & motivated with my progress as I started seriously studying last month, but I want to keep up the motivation and focus up.

What else can I focus on? Should I be drilling, doing sections, reviewing, reading more? I've been finding that I struggle far more on recent RC than earlier RC passages.

Thanks!! 7sage has been so helpful for me the past month and I am so excited about the future!

Guys, does the official LSAT still allow highlighting on RC like they do on LawHub?? August testakers please let me know, all these interface changes are adding unnecessary stress.

It's a little harder to see now and it looks like they made it light gray on gray?

So I’m taking the LSAT tomorrow, my last official PT score was a 160 (my goal score) and I have just been feeling so incredibly nervous this entire week. Last time I took the official test I scored a 155 because I was so anxious and panicked, so I ended up guessing and it was like all my work went out the window, and I really don’t want that happening now. I also took an RC section yesterday and got a 17/26 so I’m slightly panicked at what if the same thing happens or for some reason the actual test is harder and I just panic even more.

I scored a 151 on my diagnostic, but after learning the entire core curriculum, doing blind reviews, and going into depth on why my answers are wrong, I am still scoring in the low 150s. I took an untimed test and scored in the low 160s (which is better) but I thought I had more knowledge of the lsat than that. Progress just feels super slow, and I think I’m getting to a point where it’s really the frustration that’s making me lose hope. Anyone else in a similar position?

When I blind review/ scrutinize a question to understand where I went wrong, I find it somewhat distracting to go back and forth from the question, pen and paper notes, and typing on my computer (particularly with grammar and conditional reasoning)

Does anyone know the tools or software JY and Kevin use when explaining questions?

Hi everyone I just recently came back to studying for the LSAT again, and I tried the new AI feature after reviewing a drill. It told me this:

"Since this was an untimed drill (Unlimited), I recommend skipping Blind Review for future untimed practices. Without a timer, your first pass is already your untimed best! You can just submit the drill and go straight into reviewing your incorrect answers."

I've always done BR for everything, and I never realized that what the AI said is kinda true. Do other people also skip BR for untimed drills? Is it more helpful to skip BR to tackle more drills or do you still do BR because it is more helpful that way?

every time i try to play an explanation video it plays for 1-2 mins before the side window disappears and I have to click on it to open again. The discussion tab does the same thing, I can only read a sentence or two before the side tab goes away and I have to reopen it. Does anyone know how to fix this? I'm about to go back to lsat demon because it is getting so annoying and taking up so much time. is it a wifi issue? a spyware issue from lsat writing? I'm so frustrated

The interface has changed so much in the past few weeks, I'm not even surprised if they actually made this change 3 days before the August exam. Not sure if my LawHub is just glitching.

Also (as a general rant), the LawHub UI is so infuriating! They promised they'd be done rolling out changes in June and yet keep making new awful changes so so close to the test :(

I recently posted I didnt do well on an exam and the day afterwards I was disappointed so I was like I can't go out like this and I did a practice test to prove I could do better. The first test I got a 153. The second 159. The test I took two weeks ago was a 158. I did worse than usual on my RC so several reasons on the test I got a 153 so I want to give myself grace but I dont want to ever score in the early or mid 150s anymore. I want to start scoring in the 160s to so I can get a very good score by October l. I guess just writing my thoughts for the test I got a 159. I only got 2 incorrect in one section. So its in me

Yo, I have been studying the LSAT since last year. I started June last year, went somewhat consistently for about a month and a half and then dropped it. I picked it up again heavily around february, stopped again after about a month and have been going at it actually consistently since beginning of June. I've increased around 7 points in total since I have started. I have done over 700+ questions and many, many hours. I just cannot seem to get past a curve that I dont even know where it begins. Im at the point now, with such a low score, that I am not even sure if this test is even feasbile for me to even continue to do. Applying with my current score (around 155) is not worth it in my eyes.

Right now, I am drilling with timed and untimed, doing review journals, did another course outside of 7sage, and have been trying a lot. I am not sure if anyone else has encountered something like this before, but I would love to hear if you are currently here and especially if you got out of a spot like this. For me, I really want to get a higher score, but I do not even think its feasible...

Any tips, advice, or anything like that is needed.

Hello everyone,

My performance between timed and untimed practice is pretty night and day, almost 10 point difference. The interesting thing is that I am taking the same amount of time to answer questions on both my untimed and timed. Anyone else struggle with obsessing/worrying over the time? What has helped you to overcome this?

I am taking the September 2026 test and am scoring in the high 160s. My goal is to score in the 170s. Currently, I feel a little lost in my studying with where I am. I realized I don't have many full fresh PTs left, so I have not been taking them regularly, and I also feel like I may be running low on fresh questions for my drills, especially for my high-priority question types. As a result, I feel like I have not been making much progress or utilizing my time effectively. For context, this upcoming test would be my last time taking the LSAT. Does anyone have any suggestions or tips on direction? Anything is appreciated!

Realistically, how often are you diagramming conditional logic or formal logic during timed LR sections?

I understand how to diagram, but with only about 1:20–1:25 per question, I often feel like stopping to diagram costs me too much time. Most of the time I only diagram if I think I have extra time, which honestly isn't very often.

For those consistently scoring in the mid/high 160s or 170s:

• Do you diagram almost every conditional question?

• Only on the hardest ones?

• Or have you trained yourself to do most of it mentally?

I'm trying to figure out whether I should force myself to diagram more or whether getting faster at recognizing the logic mentally is the better long-term strategy. I'd love to hear what actually worked for you.
