People who took the August test reported that if they modified the font size in accessibility settings for one section, that selection didn't carry over to other sections. Thus, August takers who wanted to change font size had to spend at least a few seconds at the beginning of each section changing to the desired font size. LawHub had this same issue; other accessibility settings carried from section to section, but font size didn't.
On August 10, we asked LSAC whether this was intentional or a mistake.
They said they would look into it and get back to us. They never replied... but it looks like they fixed it!
As of this post, font size settings in LawHub persist from one section to another. So on test day, if you want to change font size, you should only need to do that once at the beginning of the first section.
Hi everyone,
I've been in the low-mid 60s for awhile now, and i need a new strat with LR bc whatever i'm doing is not working. My biggest deficits are phenom-hypoth, flaw/descriptive weakening, and causal reasoning for sure, but my WAJ doesn't seem to be helping. Whenever I get it wrong I hand-write why I chose my answer, why i didn't choose the right answer, why the right answer is right, and what i'm going to do next time.
I tried tutoring and didn't see much movement. Now i'm looking for anything that can help. Some facts that may help you diagnose me: (1) i'm typically down to two answers, and pick the wrong one (2) i felt confident about my last couple PTs, and ended up scoring low 160s (3) sometimes i genuinely think an answer could theoretically work (in, for ex, a weakening or strenghtening Q), which i think is problematic.
I'm open to any tips yall have, however harsh they're delivered.
THANK YOU
Any 155 plateau recommendations? Also, any strategy on how to get the most out of reviewing?
For whatever reason, RC is just not clicking for me.
My LR is very strong but it just has not translated to RC, im stuck at a -10 consistently and I would love some tips or strategies that you guys use to score better.
Also, for whatever reason I rarely review wrong answers for reading comp lol, I feel this might be the reason why I am not improving. It just feels like the reason I got an answer wrong was a lack of comprehension rather than reasoning, so that's why I feel that reviewing it is a waste of time.
I need help finding out a strategy or maybe a study tip to get 3-4 points more across each section to reach my score goal. If anyone has any suggestions I'd really appreciate it or if your open to talking about it more in depth pls lmk.
Hi! So I've been studying for months and made consistent improvement, and now all the sudden I'm doing worse than I ever have. I would rather not being doing poorly (duh) but I'm not sure why I have backpedaled so much! I'm taking the Spetember test, and need to get over this hump. Anyone go through something similar/have any tips?
Hello hello, bit of a long shot posting here but I've noticed I am suddenly dropping the ball on all questions ranked in the 150 zones. I am really not sure what is happening. It seems the answer choice I strike out immediately is usually the correct one... It's been like this for about 2 weeks now and I am wondering if theres any advice whatsoever to help shake this or if I just need to drill drill drill the harder level question types and push past it. Its getting really discouraging and my LSAT is Sep 12. Any advice is welcome here- I might even resort to patting my head and rubbing my belly. Thanks in advance!
This is what my past few tests have looked like: timed between 167 and 176 with my BR being 177-180. I am able to whittle the answer choices down to 2 and one of them is correct every single time, but I seem to pick the wrong one each time.
Sometimes I literally feel like I am intentionally misreading when timed because when I read the question over in BR I wonder why I even chose the one I chose in the first place. Other times I get it wrong becaue I missed a qualifying word or misread a word completely.
I have accommodations and am diagnosed with ADHD so.... Any tips?
My issues tend to be Crit/Deb passages, causal reasoning, and parallel.
Has anyone else taken a PT with a question removed then have that question marked against you? It’s currently happening to me with PT119. Is there anyway to fix that?
If I already have an argumentative writing sample from April test, I don't need to do another, right?
Ive done tons of RC passages, and I find myself stuck on the same two things every time. Either I miss an important detail that turns into a question or I find myself just not remembering the right things because of a poor paragraph summary. For me, Im loosing faith in the idea that you dont have to understand the whole passage. Ive found myself lost on questions simply because I didnt have a strong enough understanding. The idea of needing only 70%-80% understanding seems to be arbitrary and subjective.
What are some strategies that you guys use? I try to do the short summary but never seem to actually capture the right things in my summaries. Untimed I do well because I can re-read and parse through dense text. I dont struggle with RC in any other test, as I dont have to read something in 4 minutes.
Hey everybody! im currently gearing up to take my first LSAT on sep 9. My goal is a 160 but im consistently scoring a 155 on every pt i take. I hoped by now id see some 160's on my pt's but i havent gotten one above 156. Just wondering if anyone has any tips i should try in the next week?
Still recovering from getting a 163 in August, the same score that I got in April. For context, just before my April exam I had been PTing in the mid to high 160s, whereas for two months before August I had been PTing in low to mid 170s. Literally the last PT I had took (158) I got a 178. I didn’t even get test-day jitters in August and felt rather confident / similar to my PTs where I scored in the 170s.
I’m definitely applying to law school this fall cycle as I graduated in May 2025 and have a good amount of WE up my sleeve (and just really miss school). I registered for October within the hour of seeing my August score. Going to go at it this month and try one last time, but I wanted to ask for advice. How the hell should I prepare for this? I feel like the pts are so substantially different from the actual exams that they currently give, and I honestly don’t know what, if anything, I should be doing differently from my previous routine and approach if I was scoring so well in PTs / individual sections. Is there anything that can be done to prepare for this exam as it’s actually given? Would love anyone’s input on this because I was honestly devastated from my August score and really need help.
Hi everyone! I need some advice on what to do so please bare with me if this is all over the place.
So basically, I took the August LSAT and came out with a 151. Honestly I'm not sure what happened but I was devastated. I took a PT this past saturday after not studying since the exam and scored a 159/BR 170; which is similar to what I was testing before.
I was hoping to get around 165 and apply this cycle. I am registered for the September exam and October. I've been working full time, but starting to take some more time off now to study and hopefully raise my score.
So my questions are:
Do I cancel my august score?
Do I even bother taking the September exam? Or should I cancel August, take Sept. and also take October?
Or keep August, take September, and October? i feel like that would look bad?
How can i bridge the gap between my score and BR?? That gap is driving me crazy. Sometimes I think I rush through the prompts/ACs but I ran out of time on two of the LR sections in August so I'm not sure if that's the case or if i was just super nervous.
Sorry and thank you in advance!
Overall my reading comp ability is solid, where i find I get tripped up is holding multiple opinions in my head at once. The trick questions that rely on you getting confused always get me. Any advice?
Its so hard to speak to other people especially when other LSAT prep companies have discords for students to speak to each other, I was wondering if this is achievable and possible here?
Hey everyone! Really glad to join the community. I’ve been self-studying for the LSAT since July, and after recently discovering the 7Sage podcast, I knew I needed to dive into the forums—my only regret is not finding this place sooner!
Right now, I’m scoring in the low-to-mid 160s on practice tests and am looking forward to using 7Sage to push into the 170s.
Are there any other non-traditional students here balancing LSAT prep with a full-time job?
Excited to learn alongside everyone here. Happy studying!
Hey guys, I have been doing my study plan and have gotten through most of it, but I do not feel like the lessons are teaching me much because when I take the test, and I am under a timer, I do not remember or apply any of the lessons. Does anyone else have a hard time applying the lessons to a timed test? And I have been thinking about just doing daily drills and practice tests from now on, any suggestions on that?
Feels like most posts/info are US based and also feels like most people end up taking the LSAT multiple times and only happy if they are scoring 170-180.
Am I totally naive in being hopeful that a score of 160-165 has a chance over here in Canada?
Taking the exam for the first time in Sept, studying around life and kids, and somedays it feels like there’s no chance of pulling this off
I do well on LR videos and drills when the stimulus is read aloud, and I can usually pause and answer correctly before the explanation. But I’m struggling to replicate that performance on practice tests. I think I understand stimuli better when I hear them than when I read silently, and I often need to reread them. Does anyone have advice for improving silent comprehension and processing stimuli efficiently under timed conditions?
Hi! I am currently looking for a tutor as my self studying is a slow progression. I have recently broke into the low 160s in PT, but still dealing with dips in scores here and there. I am hoping to take October LSAT and am set to take September (given I don't withdraw). Took the August LSAT and was 12 points below my most recent PT. My goal score is 165-170, would love any advice or tutor references!
As a visual learner, what are some tips you guys have done to improve your score in practice and during timed sessions?
