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)?

I have one completely fresh PT left. I’m gonna keep studying, and will probably retake the test in November, for my 4th official attempt. I have a few questions:

Are the old PLSATs with logic games on them worth taking? If they are not worth taking, what should I do PT wise? I keep hearing that you should be PT-ing about 3-5 points above your goal score, but that’s a bit challenging to do if I’m running out of fresh or new tests.

Got my score back for August 2026 and like many, did not score where I was hoping to. I decided to push my application back a cycle shortly after taking my LSAT (wishing I came to this decision before I took the August test...) but am now going back to the drawing board and starting studying all over again. I want to focus on getting to where I want to be with PTs, comprehension and general confidence before retaking, so I'm prioritizing studying until I'm comfortable over studying for a certain date. That being said, I'd like to take it again far enough out that I'm not feeling rushed but close enough that I can retake in June 2027 with a similar gap in timing if needed. Should I aim to be ready in time for the January 2027 LSAT, or take the extra month and plan for the February LSAT? If anyone is in the same boat I would love to connect!!

First timer to the LSAT, trying to make a career change from education to law. Really frustrated with the first attempts score, i studied for 2 months, which obviously isn’t a lot of time for something like this. However, i edited my study plan on here to prepare for September and Novembers test. How are you guys studying to improve scores? Wrong answer journals, how do yall organize it? Is it possible to grow 10 points by September and November? Any and all advice is much appreciated.

any advice on how to break into the 170s? i can't seem to close my timed and BR score gap!

Good evening everyone!

I would like to have some feedback on the Argumentative portion of the LSAT and any would be greatly appreciated and helpful!

My first question, what did you use to prepare yourself for this portion of the test and what helped you the most on test day?

My second question is would it be better to take it before my exam or after my exam? I am taking the September LSAT on the 10th and I really want to focus solely on preparing for that and move my attention to the writing portion afterwards. I just want to hear if this is a good path or if I should do something different.

I am nervous for this part of the exam because I’m not sure how to condense my opinion into only a couple of paragraphs and not entire essays like I have in undergrad. Again any help would be so helpful to me!

Hope everyone is having a good week so far!

Also quick note: I saw on Reddit (and Ik I shouldn’t trust it) that I only have to do the writing portion once? Even if I take two exams? This confused me so I want to make sure.

Hey everyone! I’m looking for some help/guidance with LSAT prep, and potentially a tutor if anyone has recommendations. I just took the August LSAT and am planning to retake it, but I’m currently studying abroad, so unfortunately I’m limited to taking it again as early as January. I am hoping to make a significant score increase by January. If anyone can help I would really appreciate it. Thank you!

Hi I am looking for someone who is experienced to review my personal statement, application essays etc. for law school. I am applying this cycle. Appreciate if the rates are affordable.

I’m a very slow reader, especially on LSAT Reading Comprehension. When I take my time on a passage, my accuracy is quite high. But when I feel rushed or try to read faster to finish all four passages, my accuracy drops significantly.

Given this, would it be better for me to intentionally prioritize only three passages and essentially give up on the fourth, so I can read the first three carefully and maximize accuracy? Or should I continue trying to complete all four passages, even if that means reading faster and risking a substantial drop in accuracy?

In other words, for someone whose main problem is speed more than comprehension, is a “3 passages done well + strategic guessing on the 4th” strategy better than attempting all four with lower accuracy?

Hello,

I got a 163 in April, a 165 in June and a 160 in August…. I signed up to be able to cancel my score after the August test because I just knew it didn’t go well, but I didn’t realize schools still see the cancellation. Should I cancel my August score? I don’t want my last score to reflect my worst score.

Hi! Just looking for some general advice, I am taking the September LSAT and am currently scoring pretty consistently in the 170-173 range. I have been and will continue doing a lots of in-depth drilling on my weak points and I already do deep-dive BR's, but I was just curious if anyone had any advice on how/if they made that jump, and if it came slower/faster, or any other real insights you have!

As it stands, I feel so close to the cusp but often find myself making those slight errors here and there which end up accumulating and biting me in the butt, which of course these have to be severely limited to non-existent for a higher 170. In terms of fatigue, that's not really an issue, in terms of individual sections I am pretty consistent whether it be through a PT or just one section so I don't think that'd be of much help I believe.

I am open to answering any questions about my current weaknesses, study methods, etc! And any advice is welcome, no matter how unorthodox or off the beaten path haha! Thanks for taking the time to read!

Is anyone taking the lsat from Canada, around Toronto for the sept lsat? The only test centres are in the USA :(

There are no spots available in Canada

So I did not get into law school this cycle. My LSAT was low but decided to apply anyways. I am back to studying and want to know if I should start all over from the beginning with studying or pick up where I left off?

I've plateaued for a while but this is an encouraging sign!

I am retaking the LSAT in September. I completed the argumentative writing section with my June test. Do I need to complete another one for this exam or is it 1 writing for all LSATs?

On my initial LR section, I missed 4 questions. During Blind Review, I reviewed 8 questions and got all 8 correct pretty quickly. 

The biggest difference was my anxiety level. During the timed section, I felt extremely anxious and noticed that I was rushing to the ACs, not giving each AC the same level of consideration, and sometimes just scanning for the answer that matched my prediction rather than fully evaluating all five choices.

During BR, without the same pressure, the questions felt much more straightforward. Two of the questions I missed were only 1–2 star difficulty questions, including the very first question. When I reviewed them afterward, the correct answers felt almost obvious.

Has anyone dealt with a similar gap between their timed performance and BR because of test anxiety? If so, what helped you slow down, properly evaluate each AC, and think as clearly during the actual exam as you do during BR?

Taking my last attempt in October. My goal is 175. Still have a long way to go but Im so proud of how much I've improved<3

I think my biggest weakness on the LSAT is timing. Are there any general tips and tricks to timing that could help me close the gap between my timed PT and the blind review? I know practicing and building my intuition is a huge part of it, but I wanted to see if there is anything else that could help. Thanks!

I received 159 score on my last exam and got a very high Blind review. Now I took a practice section and didn't do well. In fact, I took an old section to see if I improved and I did worse. And one of the questions I got wrong is an easy question I spent considerable time studying and showed improvement . I also got a tutor too. I'm just so sad

I am officially locked in for september. All I want is a 158/160. I just scored a 156 with great LR sections and then a -13 on RC.

Nothing is clicking in RC - any tips to get to atleast a -9/-8 in just over 2 weeks…?

Hi! Looking for some advice on building endurance for the LSAT, especially for the last section of a PT/test.

I’m taking the September LSAT and lately I’ve been scoring around the mid-160s, but I’ve noticed a pretty consistent pattern where my last section is significantly worse than my earlier sections. For example, on my most recent PT my earlier LR was around -4, but my last LR initially came out to -11 with a -4 on BR.

I’ve noticed the same thing on a couple recent PTs where I feel like my accuracy/decision-making just drops toward the end and primarily in the fourth section.

I work full time, so a lot of my studying is before/after work, and I’m wondering if anyone has dealt with something similar and found a good way to specifically train that 3rd/4th section endurance without just constantly taking full PTs.

Any tips or things that worked for you would be really appreciated :)

Does anyone have any recommendations of what to study/ practice the week that I'm taking the LSAT. For the prior two weeks, I already have full lengths PT's planned twice a week, so I'm wondering if another PT is the method or if that will cause burn out/ not increase my score. Should I focus on questions by priority or stick to just timed sections to improve my time accuracy?

Im taking the LSAT in September i need a 160 but i'm stuck in the 150s i've finished most of the loophole done practice tests but the highest i've gotten on a pt is a 155 and the blind review was 160. i dont know what else to i've been studying since May and i'm honestly ready to give up.

I can get around -5 on average on LR sections (best was -2), which I’m still not super satisfied with, but I’m registered for the September LSAT and idk how I’m supposed to get the same results under timed conditions. It usually takes me around 50–60 min to get those scores.

I know the main advice is to keep doing sections untimed and focus on accuracy until the timing naturally gets better, but with my test only a few weeks away, I don’t really have that much time to wait for that to happen. Any tips on what I should do? #help #lsatdrainsthelifeoutofme

Hello! Just wanted to challenge myself as the September administration rolls around the corner. If you have any LSAT-related questions or concepts that you've been struggling with and you just can't wrap your head around it, I can try my best to help explain it! I'm not a tutor, but I have been studying for a long time and can hopefully gain some insight and deep review while helping you out!

Just leave the question number below, as well as any of the qualms you might have with the answer. Thanks!
