Is anyone else concerned/frustrated with the new law hub interface? I just took my first practice section in the new interface... I have my concerns.

First, why did they make it extremely inconvenient to "block out" wrong answers? It took me on average 15-30 more seconds per question, simply because I had to keep clicking back and forth to be able to "block out" wrong answers, and go back to being able to choose the right answer.

To try and combat this I was going to highlight why I chose the wrong answer (as I normally do in the practice), and now that's not an option either. Which brings me to my second issue... why can we not highlight in the answer choice anymore? this was extremely useful for going back to flagged questions, as I would highlight certain words in the 2 AC's I was stuck between.

The test is already difficult in its self, I feel like they should have just kept the eye symbol to "block out" wrong answers. this new feature definitely does not make my experience "smoother and easier", it makes it more time consuming.

I think the fact it has more accessibility regarding color filters, font, etc. is awesome, but the aforementioned changes are burdensome and borderline unnecessary.

Just went through my wrong answers and those are the worst for me. It’s just so hard to answer bc it’s less objective!

Hey all, I took my writing portion late for the April test, how long will it take for them to approve my sample and release my score? Thanks!

wish you all luck on your June exam

I first entered the 150s in late March. Then, almost a week later, I got a 153. Then another 153. Now a 154. I took section 1 of PT 127 and got a Preptest equivalent of a 154. I just want to enter the 160s. I've started focusing on on flaw reasoning and reconcile questions. Now I'm focusing on weakening and strengthening, the latter I'm struggling with, but I'm starting to let go of my mindset that the answer has to explicitly prove the conclusion, and I feel like I'm performing better. I just don't understand why I'm not improving. In this section, I took the advice of people here, focusing on accuracy over quantity. So I spent more time than I would have pressed for time. I had more answers left unanswered compared to other PTs ( really, 3 more), but I got 17 correct out of the 19 intentionally chosen. (22 with blind review). The rest I guessed on without looking at the questions due to lack of time and got none right lol. If you have any tips, specifically on time and calming yourself down due to anxiety on tests. Thanks in advance

Hi all,

I've been fortunate enough to be consistently scoring in the 160s, with my highest PT score to date being 168! I, like many people, want to break into the 170s, but I've reached a plateau I haven't seen improve. Additionally, when I review my PTs, I notice that 99% of my wrong answers were due to me constantly changing from the right to the wrong answer due to anxiousness about "being wrong" (ironic).

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to better establish the necessary confidence when it comes to (1) picking answer choices and (2) my understanding of the different question types?

Thank you!

Curriculum finished! Woo! Currently, plan is to do practice blocks/pre-exam block up until June 5th LSAT. Any advice on tweaking (optimizing) my plan? Something you've found particularly helpful in the month leading up to the LSAT?

Context: I've taken 6 PrepTests total. Four of them in August (two timed, two untimed), and two in the past couple months (untimed) to check progression.

Cold turkey timed score in August (i.e., no studying): 147, 155 later that same month, with some studying. Most recent untimed tests have been 161, but have gotten 163 and 164.

Goal score for now is 165. Planning to take it in August, too. I worry about not having taken many timed tests, but I would think comprehension is king.

Thank yoooouuuuuuu :)

Could someone tell me how I should be reading the kind of answer choices that identify a flaw by saying the argument “confuses X for Y” or a sufficient condition for a necessary condition? When I try to use piecemeal analysis to figure out what is being confused for what - like which clause actually appears in the argument vs which clause should’ve appeared in the argument - I always get lost.

TIA

Hi everyone!

I just wanted to post a quick post of encouragement for those feeling down after finding out their results of the April LSAT. I've been reading other posts and have found it nice to know that I'm not alone, so I thought I would share my thoughts with everyone.

I scored a 151. This was my first time taking it, and I think some of my anxiety got the best of me. That said, I am trying to think of the positives. When I first started studying for the LSAT 8 months ago, all I wanted was a 150. I just wanted to be average. I am not a good standardized test taker. I think on the ACT I might have scored a 19... but I am a student with a 4.0 in both my undergraduate and graduate degrees. I am not a traditional student, and have been working full-time at a courthouse for the last 1.5 years. I studied Criminal Justice and Psychology in my undergrad, and my masters degree is in Criminal Justice.

I have not decided if I'm going to retake, as I am not applying until the next admission cycle (Fall of 2027). Additionally, I am not aiming for a top school. I guess, I just wanted to share this, because this is where I'm at. Feel free to share below.... if you're feeling similar or what your thoughts are. I think it's just nice to "talk" to people who are experiencing the same thing. Regardless, everyone should be proud of themselves because this a difficult test, and we did it and tried our best.

Hey everybody, a few months back I made a post about how I was applying with my 146 LSAT and hoping for the best and would keep you guys updated. Fast forward, I got rejected and waitlisted from every school I applied to, felt defeated, and on the last day to sign up, signed up for the April 11 LSAT.

The reason I’m writing this is because I’ve been so down on myself the past few months thinking that it was pretty hopeless for me to get in anywhere or to drastically improve my score enough in such a short amount of time to make a difference for this admission cycle. This morning I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I just received my 154 LSAT score (8 point improvement!!) and I’m thrilled to be able to send out letters of continued interest.

It may seem impossible, but keep on working. This program really helped me stay focused and improve my score drastically. I hope I could serve as some point of motivation for someone who feels their LSAT score is way too low, I improved mine this much in a matter of two months, you can do this!

I needed a platform to share my excitement, because no one in my life really understands how much this means to me, or understands how big of a jump in score this really is. Wishing you all the best on your own journeys!

Update: I just got two acceptances, one of them offering a scholarship of $160,000. Let this be a reminder ALL OF YOU CAN DO THIS

Hi, I hope everyone is doing well. I wanted to ask you guys, what are your strategies when approaching flaw questions? This is something that I still struggle with after learning all the flaw types, but it seems like my brain freezes, when presented with a stimulus and I have to identify which flaw type it is :(

I would love to hear from you all!

Some of us have gotten our April LSAT scores back, and I wanted to remind those that are proud of their scores to not diminish their accomplishments because of other's achievements. I was seeing some others feeling a little disappointed in their scores, and I began comparing my score to their significantly higher score that they were disappointed about. But the truth is that I am so proud of my score and of my improvement that I wanted to remind all those that come on here this morning that I am proud of you for doing a hard thing, and more importantly I hope you are proud of yourselves! Sometimes the LSAT can feel like a big game of "I want to be the best and then even better," but I hope each of you take a moment today to say "I am proud of myself for doing a hard thing." Even if you are disappointed in your score, you still did a hard thing that takes so much discipline and hard work. We are here to grow and to achieve our dreams, and I know the grind only continues for those that are retaking, myself included, but you did that! Be Proud!

Hey y'all, so as most of you know, we got back our April scores today. My score was 12 points under my target. It was my first exam, but I am feeling super frustrated. I am registered to take the June LSAT, but fear that a 12-point jump may be unrealistic, and I want to know if I should push the exam until August. For reference, here are my numbers:

Diagnostic 138

PTs 154-159 range (with one outlier of 148, 2 weeks before the exam)

Goal 160

Score on April exam 148

So as you can see, I am in a rut at this point. I worried I was not fully ready for a 160 for my first exam, but I definitely did not expect to see a 148 this morning when I checked. I feel like even since this April exam, I have improved a lot and been doing better, but I am worried that if I take it again in 4 weeks, I will just be thinking of this 148 instead of what I have been averaging. I was also planning on keeping my score because I know I can do better than I did, but if anyone disagrees, please let me know.

I want to start law school in the Fall 2027 term, so I was hoping to apply by September so I can get the most scholarship money possible. I also have the fee waiver, so I know I can take it again in August if needed, but I would have to pay out of pocket for it, which is unrealistic for me financially.

Basically, should I change from the June to the August LSAT? Also, do I keep my score? And what do we think of this timeline? Do we have any thoughts? Please and thanks, I need all the help I can get from y'all.

Studied hard (6-8 hours a day) for 10 weeks for the April LSAT.

My first pt score was 139 (before I even studied or watched a single course video).

My highest pt score was the week of the test and I scored a 145. My other pt scores were 140, 144, 142.

However, I scored a 139 on the April LSAT test. It’s like I never even studied for the test at all... Idk what happened. I was expecting to get around a 145 and then get to a 150 in June.

But now, needing to make an 11-point jump seems impossible.

Idk what to do?!?! It seemed like all the drills and practice tests and live classes I did was for nothing. I knew my priorities percentages were not all where I needed them to be, but to do this poorly has me second guessing everything. Do I need to go rewatch the lessons? Do I need to just drill drill drill?

Any suggestions on future study techniques? Any tips in general? My ideal score is a 150-155

I plan on taking the June and probably the August too. Should I skip June, and just take August? I want to apply right when applications open in September.

So I was grinding LR and kept making the same dumb mistakes over and over... missing necessary vs sufficient, falling for "extreme language" traps, the usual. I was keeping a wrong-answer journal in a Google Doc but it was a mess and I never actually went back to review it.

So I built a little web app for myself to make it less painful. You log every question you miss, tag why you missed it (assumption swap, misread stem, eliminated right answer, etc.), and it surfaces patterns over time

I built it just for me but figured I'd pass it along since a few study-buddies asked. It's completely free ... no paywall, no premium tier, no credit card, nothing. I'm NOT trying to sell anything. Just thought it might help someone else avoid the same mistakes I kept making.

Maybe just DM or comment if you want it and then I can send it over? Not sure the best way to share it.

Hi everyone, I got a lot more requests for it than I thought! It's still a work in progress, so if you have anything that does not work on the site or want added/changed, let me know! I just hope it is a resources for everyone.

Hi, I just needed some advice or a guide on what I should do to prepare for the LSAT in June. April was my second time taking the LSAT and I boosted my score by 10 points from the first one I took in September. I don't know how I should study for this next month or what to even do. I scored a 150 on the April one and am really looking to see if I can improve my score by 5-10 points by June. Any advice? I took a 7Sage course already, so I know the fundamentals, strategies, and most patterns.

I just received my April score, and I’m genuinely disappointed. I scored a 156, which is a big jump from my first diagnostic score of 141 back in November, but I still feel like I should be seeing higher results by now. I’m planning to take the test again in August, but now I am lacking a little motivation since the score release and could really use some advice. My goal score is a 169, but right now it’s starting to feel unrealistic.

I've been studying for a few months now and started with a diagnostic score of 154. Had a few ups and downs but finally made it to 164 in my more recent PTs. I took the April LSAT and got a 157, which I definitely wasn't expecting all things considered. I know I need to improve my studying habits (which have been inconsistent due to internships and looking for work). I'm definitely struggling with certain types of LR questions and RC passages, so I will keep practicing those. I'm also struggling with timing a bit, and sometimes miss 1-2 questions at the end of each section (and end up guessing). Would it be worth doing practice tests more frequently than once a week? Any study tips for those handling work/the job hunt/studies? My next exam is in June so I really need to hunker down and do things the right way.

Thank you!

I just took my first LSAT and scored a 160. I was shooting for high 160s on this first attempt and felt solid about it after I took it so I did not expect to get this score. My plan is to apply to some T-14 schools. Is this a score worth keeping or should I cancel it? Ideally my goal score is around 173.

Hi everyone,

I’m aiming for the 2027 application cycle and could really use some advice on test timing. I’ve been feeling incredibly burned out and spiraling a bit, so any perspective would be massively appreciated.

My Background:

• Target cycle: Fall 2027

• Current Level: High 150s (Started studying in February).

• Goal Score: Low 170s.

• Personal: I work full-time and I am an ESL speaker.

• GPA: I have a very low undergrad GPA, but a high Master's GPA. Since I know only the undergrad GPA counts for medians, I know I absolutely need a 170+ to make up for it as a splitter.

My Dilemma:

I am currently registered for June, but I realistically don't think I'll be ready to hit my 170+ goal by then, especially with my full-time job and ESL hurdles. I haven't even touched the writing section yet.

My Questions:

1. If I push my first real take to August, is that too late for an "early" cycle application? I really want to apply early to maximize my chances as a splitter, but I want to make sure an August (or even September) test won't put me at a disadvantage.

2. If I take June just to see how it goes and cancel a bad score, does the "C" on my transcript look bad? Will admissions care that I have an attended test with no score?

Thank you so much in advance. Trying to balance all of this is exhausting, and I just want to make sure I'm making the right strategic choices!

So I've been lightly studying since May 2025, actually locked-in studying since August 2025, while working a full-time-ish remote job. My diagnostic starter score back in May 2025 was a 162, and through lots of copious wrong answer journaling, watching videos and podcasts, and endless drilling, I scored a 173 literally 4 times in a row on test-day-simulated practice tests that I took from January to March 2026. Toward the end, I was studying for ~2-3 hours everyday and couldn't get my score to budge upward, but at least it also wasn't going down.

On the April 2026 test, I scored a 166 after taking it in-person at a test center.

I'd thought coming out of the test that I felt a bit ambiguous, definitely was unsure on a good number of questions, but not to a much worse degree than I usually feel after any practice test. I slept well the night before, felt not burnt out (I'd tapered off studying ~3 days prior to the exam), and felt very alert and sharp in the test center (though now I realize that was probably ambient stress that my body was misinterpreting). I'm also historically not a bad test taker -- I've never seen anywhere close to this big of a score drop across previous standardized tests including my high school SATs, AP exams, college exams, etc.

I guess I have a few questions that I'd love people's thoughts on (also would love to chat with anyone in a similar boat or who has been in the past!!):

1. Would it be worth switching to taking the test at home in June, because it's the last time we can do it and it seems that my performance in-person at a test center was way off?

2. Based on what I've read about the admissions process, I'm planning on keeping my score and just working toward a 170+ goal in June. But I'm curious if there are reasons to not do this.

3. What strategies do folks have for minimizing test day stress and translating PT performance into real scores? And is it normal to see a 7-point drop the first time you take the LSAT but then rebound?

Best of luck to everyone, and if you're planning on retaking like me, we got this in June 🤞

As someone with major text anxiety, how did you get better at speed??

I do so bad on timed sections (150s), and then when I fully BR them (or I do them Untimed) I get 160s+.... idk what to do anymore :(

I keep practicing untimed and then timed and WAJ but my second LSAT exam is in June (First LSAT 152, I had to sign up for that one since I will be back in the motherland over the summer, and Im applying for the 2027 cycle).

Does anyone have unhinged advice?? (I study 4-6 hours a day 6 days a week.)

Hi all, scores were released today. I did ok. Below what I wanted and slightly below what I had been PTing. Now I need to retake it, any advice on becoming motivated and bringing score up. Can someone give me hope that I can go from 162 to breaking 170s by August has anyone done it!

166 in Sep --> 172 in Feb --> 171 in April.

I'm bummed because my average score (around 13 PTs since my Feb test) was a 177, with multiple scores hitting 180 and only hitting below 174 once. I was so confident going into April, but I feel test day nerves got the best of me - I had one LR section I didn't even have time to review flags for, when I usually have 10 minutes.

What do I do here? Does retaking again and keeping a plateaued score send adcoms a message that I'm just trying my luck regardless of a lack of progress? Would a 173-174 score be meaningful atp? Can I expect to overcome whatever test-day problems I have with a June retake?

I have my registration paid for (after a panic from that very nasty April exam), so I have 24 hours to decide. WWYD??

super excited about this, my goal score is a 168 and I'm taking the June LSAT. Hoping to tighten up a bit on RC and my weak points in LR in the month-ish I have left which will hopefully give me the boost I need to reach my goal score or a bit higher!
