Hello,

I am in the foundations section and new to studying for the LSAT and I was wondering whether it is important to have indicators memorized. For example, indicators for concessions (context), premise indicators, conclusion indicators, and etc. Thanks :).

Any suggestions or tips on maintaining the energy level during test (outside of doing more full test)? I find the first section I am great then something breaks midway through the second section. Thanks in advance.

Hi guys, does anyone know If I should do day to day plan that I set up, or I should keep going? Honestly lessons are short, and I want to practice regarding what I have learned, but I get stuck in LSAT questions?

Hey, quick question for anyone who studies 4–6 hrs a day for the LSAT. I have the time to do that, but I’m not sure what people are actually doing for so long. A timed section is only 35 min, and review doesn’t take me that much longer. Do you just drill questions for hours? Take a full test every day?

If anyone can share a breakdown of what their study schedule looks like for that many hours, I’d love to see it.

hey everyone. I started studying a couple months ago going through the whole curriculum and now I'm just drilling until i take the lsat in approximately a month.

overall i feel pretty good about my RC and some of my LR. but when it comes to anything related to sufficiency necessary, contrapositives, lawgic, diagramming, etc. I feel absolutely hopeless and clueless.

For example, I did PT136.S4.Q20 recently and I got it wrong and when I went to check the correct answer and explanation, I felt so lost. There was nothing I could even write down in my wrong answer journal.

Figuring out what's sufficient what's necessary, taking the contrapositive correctly then diagramming and chaining together conditionals in the stimulus and then doing so for each answer choice. It seems like something I could never do. I just don't even know where to start.

not only does missing these questions and not being able to understand them conceptually hurt my confidence with LR, I feel like its affecting my performance elsewhere. It's massively damaged my confidence in my ability to score well on the LSAT as whole.

I've looked online for resources and help, but every time someone tries to explain these concepts they do it in the easiest way possible that I feel doesn't carry over to the LSAT.

Yes, I am capable of understanding that being a dog is sufficient to being a mammal, and being a mammal is necessary for being a dog. But it's never that simple in an actual question on the LSAT.

i guess my point with this post, besides just venting, is to ask what resources have you found helped you in understanding formal logic, as it relates to questions on the LSAT?

Ever wonder why your Blind Review score is so much higher than your actual timed takes? In this episode, Bailey and Henry dig into that frustrating gap and what it really reveals about your test-day performance. They break down why the discrepancy exists, how to diagnose the root causes (from pacing issues to second-guessing), and practical strategies to bring your timed scores closer to your BR potential. Whether you’re consistently a few points off or dealing with a double-digit gap, this conversation will help you turn Blind Review insights into real score gains.

Is it normal for your highest scoring section to be the experimental one, or is it just me? I seem to score way better on those sections nine times out of ten and am unsure as to why. Are those sections designed to be easier? Or, is there any other explanation I'm unaware of?

I'm really struggling with RC. My highest pt has been a 157, I average around -6 to -8 on LR but -8 to -14 on RC. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong since I follow the strategies outlined in the core curriculum. Even when I try to slow down and only attempt 3 passages in a section, my accuracy is still bad. Any advice would be appreciated since I'm taking the November lsat (aiming for at least a 160)!

guyssss my test is on saturday >> what would you recommend is the best way to really lock in and get a good preparation (ideally other than just taking a thousand PTs bc i feel like those tire you out more than really help). anyone have any good encouragement and study schedule for this last week thank youuu <3

Does anyone have any advice for stamina? I do way better on drills than I do on full PT's because my brain turns to mush. I'm getting 3-4 more questions wrong on practice tests than when I do individual sections!

When should I be doing the lessons vs the drills and Pts?

Help! I keep narrowing it down to two answers: the right one and one wrong and picking the wrong. What am I missing that can help me get out of this cycle? Any and all tips/advice appreciated.

Also taking the November LSAT & looking for a study buddy!

Is anyone else seeing a large fluction in scores?? I took a practice test two days ago and got a 160. I finished one today and got a 148. What is that about??

I've been studying the LSAT for almost a year and I have most of the concepts down. But every practice test I take, I find that I make stupid mistakes because I missed a key term in the stimulus or answer choice, and I choose a wrong answer that I wouldn't have chosen if I just caught it. But it keeps happening and when it does, the only advice I can think of is "read better", which isn't really helpful. Any advice on catching key words and reducing mistakes?

I had been studying for the September LSAT for the past few months and was scoring fairly consistently the three weeks leading up to it in the 170-175 range, but after getting scores back today, I had little improvement from my prior LSAT score taken earlier in 2025 and was not at that level.

At the end of the day, it just means that I need to study more and harder and maybe not rush the process. However, what is hard to get over is how discouraging it is. I am worried that even if I get my ideal, higher score on the next go, it will be like a smear to have the low scores on my record. I have score cancel and can do so, but I've a few days to decide. I cancelled my score from earlier this year as context for that.

I am looking to apply next cycle early and therefore have some time. Anyone else in a similar boat/has been in a similar boat? Any thoughts?

Just wanted to drop some encouragement here before cancelling my subscription because I finally achieved my goal score! If studying has ever (or chronically) made you feel hopeless, stressed, incapable, sad, etc. I promise you that I have been there. I went from a 152 diagnostic (my lowest PT ever was a 145) to a 164, 161, and 166 official score(s). Choosing to recommit after a decrease is mentally tough, but I promise you that I wouldn’t trade my 164 and my 161 for anything—they got me to my 166! Only you know what you are capable of. My score is the perfect score for me, but it may be considered “low” for someone else or “high” for the person next to them. This is your path and your experience—my biggest piece of advice is to do you, if you have faith in anything or something lean on that, and please work hard. This test will teach you how to better trust yourself, become mentally stronger, block out what others are saying (good and bad), and how to have some heart, discipline, and commitment. I’m cheering for you and I hope you can remember to take some time to cheer for yourself. 💖

Hey!

I'm currently registered for the 2025 November LSAT and I started studying (seriously) at the beginning of August. My current diagnostic is a 145 and I've done only two other PT's afterwards with the same score and I want to at least get a 158+ on the real LSAT. Is it possible to attain that or am I being delusional lol? I study at least 4 hours on weekdays after work and 6-8 hrs on weekends too if that helps.

Any tips, suggestions, reality checks, etc. will be greatly appreciated :)

This seems like a waste of time....? It's literally the exact same section, but 7sage said it's a section designed around my priority areas of focus. Am I suppose to redo a section because I did poorly...? Feels confusing to be relooking at questions I half remember answering.

My score came out as 168 (92nd Percentile), with a score band of 164-172. Pretty happy with the results!

I just scored a 164 on PT126.

just wanted to share that this was my first time breaking into the 160s, but i'm still not feeling good because I got so many wrong on the experimental. Any advice?

I have been studying for a few months and now average 169 - 170 in my prep tests. A few weeks ago I sat down and did a usual prep test but got a 178, which was my highest score yet.

However, the 2 prep test after that amazing score were both 167, which was subpar for my admission goals. This high and low kinda shattered my confidence, but I got a 169 on my prep test yesterday. It’s a good score, but still not sufficient.

I am at a point where I know I have the skill to do well, but its my mentality that is put to the test every time. I am sure I will face harder challenges than this is Law School, so this is good preparation.

Im taking the LSAT in October and hope I can produce a consistent and high enough score. Have anyone else experimented something like this? And how did you improve after it?

Thank you!

Hi Everyone!

I am currently going through the comprehensive study plan and have been watching both the videos and reading the written lessons for each lesson. Is it worth doing both? Or, am I missing something if I only read the description and don't watch the lesson as well?

This is my second post regarding this issue, because I really need some help here. I am studying between 4 and 8 hours everyday, and I can't seem to get above a 160. This is odd for me, as in July I was scoring up to 169s. Every practice section I do, I get between 4 and 5 questions wrong, without fail. I don't know what else to do beyond drilling and reviewing my incorrect answers. Please send help and specific tips! I take the LSAT again in less than two weeks and I cannot afford to get below a 165, and I feel like incredibly lost as to what more I can do.

After a period of learning LSAT, I recognize that I can do better in LEVEL4 or 5 questions. While to level 1-2-3 questions in a section, I will lose some points for some stupid reasons.

This is especially common in LR sections.

Let's say I don't get enough sleep in the day. After a day of work, I go home to study, but I can't focus no matter how hard I try to wake myself up. I put in less effort during my study session, I cut corners, and I just can't pay proper attention. Would it be better off to power through and study anyways, or is it better to put off studying until I'm fully rested and at top condition?

I've always tried powering through but I'm thinking of changing that. I've learned that mindset is EVERYTHING while taking the LSAT, and I don't want to get into practicing the habits that I develop while sleep deprived.

What do you guys think?
