I take my first official LSAT tomorrow, if I get my goal score I'm naming my future first born Kevin Sage.

Goodluck to everyone else who is taking it and to those who are waiting for their score release. I hope everyone gets the score that they want, but, regardless, everyone should be proud of all the time and work they've put in. Undoubtably everyone has learned something from studying. Just remember not to make a single number the biggest thing in your life, it does not define you or your potential!!

Best of luck, and I'm totally open to comments of what to expect on test day!

This is now the second time I scored within the 160's - I didn't review this one completely yet. I have a month until my test date. I know I can get more points at least; I want to. So, here's my question, how did y'all crush those grueling 4- and 5-star questions? My goal WAS 159, but I desire more and am motivated a lot now. I built myself a technique book for all question types, but for those hard ones, I just can't untangle the logic and fall for tough RC traps.

Now that the August edition is out of the way, what are some best practices for preparing for the retake in September? I've been doing weekly PTs/BR and daily drill sets since April, and I've been presuming I should try to stick with that rhythm so that my LSAT brain doesn't rust, but I'm curious if there's a different approach I should be considering.

Just finished taking the August LSAT and unfortunately ran into technical difficulties. I got kicked out of the exam twice; each time it reset the answers I had crossed out (but not the answers I had chosen for some reason). First time I was able to continue immediately, second time it forced me to take an additional 10 minute break. It was in Section 3, so I had already taken my break.

Has anyone experienced technical difficulties like this in the past? If so, would you recommend contacting LSAC? I’m not sure what they can do, but I feel like my testing process was disrupted and unfair.

Every time I go to do a PT in Lawhub I find that the interface has changed and it is super annoying and throws me off when I start the PT. The most recent is that there is no full screen function anymore. WTF!? I know no one can do anything about it, I just needed to vent.

taking my first LSAT tmr but feeling so underprepared and already planning on doing another one in October. If i bomb my first one does that do anything to my application. I need some confidence booster rn ughhhhhhh.

I'm curious how much admissions committees really care about the number of attempts the LSAT is taken. Or do schools mostly focus on the highest score?

Also, does anyone personally know (or is anyone) who got into a T14 after taking the LSAT three times? I'd love to hear real experiences.

One more question: if I take the October LSAT as the 3rd attempt and submit all my applications as soon as scores are released in late October, is that still considered "early" for admissions and scholarships?

Would really appreciate any insight from applicants, current students, or admissions professionals!

Y'all, I don't know how to express my excitement that I only missed one question in a timed reading comp section. My LR sections have been fine but I've been grinding reading comp for so long and have seen so little progress, but this felt incredible. I'm not expecting this to be the norm for now, but boy does it feel incredible to get over a overperform.

I have been using the AI agent on 7sage to analyze my tests and tell me what question types I should focus on. It has become quite apparent where I am lacking. In my last PT I missed 26 LR questions and 22 of them were from causal reasoning and conditional logic. I have been trying to focus my study on these question types but to no success. I do not know what the disconnect is. Is there a trick or a way to get better at these question types. Not sure what to do, I am at a loss.

I took my first LSAT back 2022 and then life happened and I never got back into it. Here I am again, a masters degree, 3 kids, and a new business later attempting to take it again. Surprisingly, logic games were my strong suit but LSAC has now done away with them. Also, apparently they went back to in person testing as of this month? I'm curious to see if anyone is in the same boat as me and what they think of all the changes. I plan on sitting for the exam in September and already signed up for October too.

Hi everyone!

I was supposed to test today, but my test got cancelled because the testing center didn’t have the correct software loaded onto the computer. I was told that LSAC will start reviewing test day complaints and requests to reschedule on Monday. The retake day for the August administration is the 18th.

Has anyone had to do a reschedule before? Do you get your scores at the same time? I was really targeting turning in my application on September 1st and this has been such a rollercoaster of a day.

I’m not super complaining about the additional time to study or that now I actually know what to expect at the testing center… mostly I’m frustrated at having to take another day off work 😂

But also… if you see this, the super nice young woman who got me tissues while I was half crying half panicking on the phone to LSAC in the waiting room…. Thank you.

Hi all, for those that have taken the test at a testing center, are we allowed to bring a piece of paper with our log-ins? I memorized them, but just in case I get too nervous and forget..

Thanks!

So I notice that I do better on sections than I do on actual PTs. Does anyone have any reasons why this happens? It's quite discouraging to see your individual sections on PT to be significantly lower than what you get on drills/sections. Both for drills and sections I am being timed, just like I would be for PT/actual test.

My guess its mostly mental fatigue since towards the last section my brain was cooked, but any other guesses/advice is appreciated.

Happy about the progress I've made but I need to work harder. I am going to take another prep test tonight. Hopefully I will keep up with the consistency. Pray for me!! Any advice/ tips on how to improve LR and RC sections?

Taking the lsat in September and kind of stagnant in my progress with LR. I’ve been reading loophole to help with that and it has been. I’m just nervous im wasting time. Please help. I want to take it one and done but if I need to take it again I will.

Hey friends -- I have a lil conundrum Im curious to find some commraderie in. When I get my PTs back, without fail every time the majority of the questions Im getting wrong are level 2/3 questions. Out of the 13 Level 4/5 questions on this last PT, I got 10/13 right, which means of the 12 LRs I got wrong, 9 were rated 2-3 stars. I get the rating system ultimately is just based on general success with the question, but it drives me insane to see that what everyone else is understanding easily, Im messing up, and sometimes vice versa! Has anyone else run into this? Were you able to name why? Does it even matter if I name why?

Trying to determine if the reasoning in the stimulus is valid, but in order to finalize my determination, I have a question:

After diagramming the stimulus, the contrapositives of the two premises — can they be combined into one conditional to yield a conditional that matches the conclusion?

If I can combine these contrapositives of the premises, would that conditional match the conclusion conditional?

Once I can determine the reasoning of the argument, I match to the correct AC

171 back in November after convincing myself that taking a billion preptests (like, 18) was the best way to study. I'm now officially out of completely fresh preptests, my highest is a 92%. What would you do in this situation?

My last 5 tests have been (most recent) 178 on PT 140 (this was retaking my diagnostic, which I took in Jan 2025 -- maybe a fluke bc I subconsciously remembered answers?), 176 on PT 123, 173 on PT 159, 166 on PT 155 (bad day?) 171 on PT 143. All since July 5. The variance here scares me a little bit, but maybe I need to learn how to get over a need to have a clear diagnostic.

Anyone else in this situation? Can anyone can offer any help?

I take my test tomorrow. I recently did a couple of drills on Lawhub and it looks completely different than 7sage. Can anyone who has taken the August LSAT let me know what the actual layout is closer to?

Hi everyone! I just wanted to take a moment to share my first and last PT score (April to Aug). It’s been a rollercoaster of a journey, and I’m finally taking the LSAT this month! Don’t give up!! :))

Hi all,

Since I've already done the more recent PTs which better reflect what I'll see on test day (PT 153 to PT 159), is there much benefit in taking older tests? I feel that the more recent tests are harder, so I'm not sure if my performance on an older test will accurately reflect my future score 😞.

For reference, I'm taking the LSAT in October and need advice, thank you!

I am into the final month of studying for the September exam. How many pts I should do a week? My study plan says 1 a week, but that only leaves me with roughly 4 more until the exam.

I am taking the LSAT on Saturday. I felt like I had a breakthrough on my LR where I started to score around -3 to -5. My most recent PT ended with me getting -4 and -5 on my LR. That was basically a week ago and was my last PT before my real test. I wanted to just do some light work this week to not lose my growth, but the last two LR sections I have done (yesterday and today) have given me scores of -8 and -9. What happened?!! I am now sad thinking that I will not perform my best on test day. I don't know what to do.
