General consensus online is that LSAC is including more trap answers, is there any chance we can get a tag for good example questions with trap answers?

I have been studying diligently, and my PTs have been around 165-170. My June LSAT was 162, so I was hoping in August, I'd get something above what I got in June, but when I checked the score, I received a 155. In June, I left the test center feeling bad, running out of time, forfeiting some questions. In August, I had some time left (Like 2 min) for most of the sections. I felt good about moving on with some questions and double checking the ones that I wasn't sure of. I have no idea what went wrong and I feel like the months of studying between June and August (in which I thought I made progress) just went down the drain. 155 is only 3 points away from the first ever diagnostic LSAT test I ever took in April. How did this happen, and what can I do to fix this?

Im starting back up after taking August LSAT. I was 6 points below my PTs little dissapointed but I knew i was gonna have to take it again. So should I start back with lessons or go right back to drilling? I scored a 155 but was PTing low 160s.

Hi hi. I took the test twice last year in Oct and Nov, and got a 159 and a 158. I took a year to study and did the August test and got a 160 today — my PTs were in the 167 range. I was so crushed this morning, it was rough. I’m taking it again in Sept, very nervous. I’ve been trying to do everything recommended for anxiety (I meditated, got a therapist, etc) and I felt okay on test day, so this lower score feels like such a setback considering I felt less panicked than last time. I also have a tutor and I have been using 7Sage after moving from Blueprint so I feel double the set back in a way. Anyone have any recommendations on how to combat test-day anxiety and just overall disappointment + recommendations on next steps? Thanks!

I haven’t studied since the August test and the Sept test would be ideally the final time I have to take it.

This is my first PT.

I struggled mostly with time and with RC.

Is it realistic to think that I could reach the 170+ by October 7th test day?

I plan on studying for 4h every day until test day.

Got my lowest score ever for August release day even including my practice tests idk what happened. Any tips for me retaking in October especially now working 8-5 all day unlike the summer when I had time. Cannot believe it to be honest. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Hey guys!

I finally started studying for the LSAT today! I’m hoping to attend law school in Fall 2027, but I’m honestly feeling a little overwhelmed and worried that I’m starting too late to give myself the best chance of getting into the schools I want.

I’m a first-generation college student and aspiring first-gen law student, so I’m trying to figure out this entire process on my own while working a 9–5. I just started using 7Sage today, and I’m trying to figure out whether I should aim to take my first LSAT in November or January.

For those of you who have been through this process, what would you recommend? Would taking the January LSAT put me at a disadvantage for Fall 2027 admissions or scholarships, or would it be better to give myself more time to properly prepare?

I’d also really appreciate any advice for first-gen students navigating the law school application process or anything you wish someone had told you before starting this journey!

Thank you!!

I took the August LSAT for the first time and scored lower than I wanted, so I'm planning to take again in October. However, I've taken nearly all the practice tests on 7 sage. How should I pace my PTs over the course of the next month?

I have been studying for about 6 months, went from a 153 diagnostic to a 168 preptest before the August test. I scored a 160 in April and then a 161 in august and I'm just at a loss for how little it feels like all the work I've put in has materialized in the official test. Feeling completely dejected as I'm only applying to NYC schools where I live and this doesn't really cut it for most schools here. I'm also blind reviewing around 179-180 on most prep tests.

Five point score improvement. May take again because why not but in disbelief at my score. Which is basically now way beyond the 75th at any school I'd be interested in. Didn't even feel too hot coming out of the test.

For the record, I hated diagramming and conditional logic the entire time but still went way beyond my expectations. We are all gonna make it.

I have hovered around the 159-165 mark for so long now. I need to change something in my habits. I just got a 161 again on August, same exact score I received in June. I have two weeks until Sept. What should I adapt my study style to look like? Consistently -6 on LR and about -7 on RC but it varies wildly.

Hello!

I'm sure like many other people, I'm not very happy with my LSAT score. I was averaging around mid to high 150's on my PTs, and my official score was way below all my PTs. I was expecting my official score to drop below my average but I did not expect this. I'm registered for the October exam, but I'm not even sure if that's the right move at this point. For added context, I am a senior in college and I'm currently working with a tutor in preparation for October, but again, I'm not sure that I'll be ready or able to hit my average or even my target. Would November be a better option at this point or should I look at other options such as potentially taking a gap year? Any advice is appreciated!

Has anyone experienced a very large score drop compared to normal PTs? I dropped about 12ish points, almost close to my diagnostic score from almost a year ago. I know for sure I did poorly walking out of the test room but I did not know it would be this bad.

Although I felt calm, my brain foggier than usual, room was rather cold, and i guessed on more questions than i usually do (I usually guess / leave to chance 1-2 per section, this time i left about 4 per section).

I don't know if it was because of finally testing in a room with other people, the cold, the exhausting week I had before, or whatever, though it is likely a combination of them all.

Before going into this, I was actually banking on better testing performance than my practices, which is how my SATs went.

I just began studying for the January 2027 LSAT, and I am confused on how to balance drilling with spoiling otherwise fresh PTs.

I am currently going through Dragon Test Prep Consulting LR/RC perfection books and with a full length PT every week. While I understand that there is an obvious benefit to drilling specific question types, and want to supplement my reading of these books with said drilling, I am confused as to how to go about making sure I don't burn through a ton of Q's that would otherwise be fresh on a PT. I feel like full-length PTs will be the most effective way to truly prepare for the LSAT, and want to have a good gauge of where I truly am, which I feel like would be hard if I am taking PTs with Q's I've already seen.

What should I do? Only drill with Q's I've already seem? Dedicate a couple of tests to be for drilling only? Just go willy nilly and drill my heart out? Open to any suggestions

Hello! Can someone please explain what is the purpose of this "Keyboard highlight" feature in the new LSAT format? I don't understand the difference between this and the regular highlight that I can do on my mouse.

Thanks!

I got a 164 in Sept 2025 and 162 for August 2026. Planning to take Sept in a couple weeks. Should I cancel the 162?

I took the June LSAT and got a 160. I continued studying and was getting low 160s on PTs. I got my August score back and got a 157. I'm trying to decide if I should cancel the August score and/or if I should retake the exam. Most of my target schools have a median of 161-164, so I'm below the median which worries me, but I'm also scared now that if I take it again I won't improve again. Any advice would be appreciated!

Hi! Wondering what exactly you guys noticed is the difference in patterns with the previous practice tests and the 150s. I know they are harder - but what exactly makes them harder? I found the real LSAT to be most reflective of the 150s tests, but I also struggled a lot on more on those that previous exams, dropping 5-6 points from my previous practice tests. My personal observation is that there seem to be more difficult Necessary Assumption and Weaken/Strengthen questions. Curious to hear your guys' thoughts!

Hey chat, I fear I have a bigggg problem. I have been studying for this test for almost 2 years. And I’m still scoring the same 😭😛

For reference: I took the official test twice.

April 2025- scored a 150

October 2025- scored a 151

And I took a practice test yesterday after studying consistently for the last 8 months and guess my score!! Drum roll…150!!!!! (Ugh) with untimed practice I was getting about 20/25 and 22/25 which is definitely my dream goal for this test under timed conditions. But I cannot complete all the questions and I overthink answer choices under timed stress. Any advice on how to stop overthinking answer choices when you are between two, and how to improve timed sections for both LR and RC.

I got a 160 on my Aug lsat and cancelled because it was lower than my previous (161; not the best decision I know but I was kind of panicking). Now I'm panicking more because what if it reflects negatively on my applications? Should I be panicking or is it not as bad as I'm thinking it is?

I was going to take the LSAT in October but will need to push it to November (score release is Dec 2) because I do not feel ready yet and nowhere near scoring to where I want which is 170+. But that means I would have to submit my apps in early December. Is that considered late in being competitive enough for a T-14 spot because some are saying it's at the end of the "early wave" of being considered. What are your thoughts/comments (realistically lol)?
