How do we prepare for the writing piece of the LSAT? Are there any helpful resources.? I have been through the lessens and didn’t see anything on it.

Just finished the LSAT core curriculum and frustrated that your Reading Comprehension timing isn't where you want it yet?
@AlexJacobs tackles a question from Zach, who's been drilling for a few weeks but can't hit the 8:45-per-passage average. Alex's honest answer: it's going to take time, and that's completely normal. No gimmicks, no shortcuts, just the reassurance that consistent daily practice is the only thing that actually works.
If you've ever felt behind on your LSAT prep timeline, this one's for you.
I just scored a 180 on PT144.
To God be the glory! You wouldn't believe how this test had me defeated, but now I am conquering the concepts and this next attempt will be my last. I claim victory over the exam. I will punch my ticket to law school and being of greater service to humanity soon. -Chris
Hi! I just took my very first PT and scored a 150. I would like to be up in the 160/165 range - would this be at all possible for the June test or should I just wait for August??
Also any tips for quick score raise would be great!!!

Perfectionism can be your biggest enemy on the LSAT. In this episode, @AlexJacobs tackles a question from listener Mia about how to handle frustration and discouragement when missing questions during study sessions. Alex shares a personal story from his own LSAT experience and explains why the perfectionist mindset, while it may have served you in other areas of life, can actively hurt your score. The key mindset shift: a wrong answer isn't a setback, it's one of the most valuable learning opportunities in your prep. Tune in for practical perspective on how to build resilience, stay focused on the bigger picture, and turn every mistake into forward momentum on your path to law school.
I am trying not to freak out. But my most recent PTs have all been steadily decreasing by 1 or 2 points and the same for the blind review (directly proportionally). Plus side, I have been getting harder questions correct. Downside is that I am getting easier questions incorrect and overthinking them even in blind review. I am taking the exam in April. I know they just did a podcast on kind of the same thing, but like I don`t have that much time. I know it's probably stress (health and work), but I don`t feel stressed, just numb to new information. Am I plateauing?
Hi all,
Im starting to transition from the course LR content to more drilling and improving speed.
Particularly, I noticed that almost every practice test and section, almost all my wrong answers on the last half to last quarter, where I move more quickly and guess.
While I clearly missed something to get them wrong, I feel like the time really gets to me, espcially since my BR are usually a lot better than my actuals.
I wonder if this is a common feature most people see and the best ways I should do drills (such as what questions to work on, how many should I do at once, what settings or timing features i should do ect).
Also, right now I'm using the notes feature to help me study what im getting wrong, how to do questions more efficiently, and what mistakes I made in lawgic.
Am I missing any critical steps in my review that help me?
Whats the best way to get faster and more efficient in RC?
I've started taking PT's almost every week, and I'd like to learn more about everyone's PT Routines!
Anything you do before the test or in-between sections?
For myself: I do a few dynamic stretches and have a light snack before PT. Also, I take nice deep breaths and circular breathing in-between sections.
Please comment, I'd love to hear about them!
Hi, out of curiosity I'm wondering how the score equivalent for full tests is determined from sections. For example, I took LR sections from PT 122 and got -1 and -0 on the sections, with PrepTest equivalent scores of 172 and 174, respectively. Wondering why, based on numbers alone, my -0 section wouldn't be a 180 equivalent, for example. Same with why the -1 section wouldn't be higher. Is it because it's an older test with relatively less difficulty than more current ones? TYIA for any insight!
How representational are these truly? I got a 0 on a RC, but it said that my PT equivalent was only 175?? And similarly, I got a -3 on a RC, and the equivalent was 167 - shouldn't this be closer to a 169?
I realize this might be a common or frustrating issue, but I’m seeing a discrepancy in my recent LR results. Earlier today, I completed a 15-question drill and scored 10/15. During my Blind Review, I technically scored 11/15; however, I switched three previously correct answers to incorrect ones. Essentially, my logical understanding should have gotten a 14/15.
Because this was an untimed section, the 7Sage analytics are difficult to interpret; eight questions are flagged for review despite only five being truly incorrect on the second pass. Has anyone else encountered this frequently? I understand I should stick with my gut if I’m confident in an answer, even if it’s flagged for Blind Review, but the data still feels misleading.
Does anyone have any tips on not doubting your answers. I will narrow it down to two and I have noticed I pick the wrong one. I just did a PT and scored a 152 and then BR to a 161, all by picking my other narrowed down answers.
Could you share a bit about why you prefer one over the other?
I dont really understand BR exactly. What I do is when i get a question wrong I review it. Is that blind review? Or is it when you re-do the entire section again? And then after that you then review missed questions? That seems overly redundant and very time consuming. Also for the setting in BR it shows what questions you missed. Should I turn this setting off so I dont know which ones are wrong?
I just scored a 177 on PT127.
I’m registered for the April LSAT and in the final stretch. My most recent full PT was a 174, and I’m generally scoring in the low 170s. With about 14 days left, I’m really hoping to push above 175, since even 1-2 points could make a big difference for me as a splitter aiming for the T14.
I’m considering taking full PTs more often, maybe twice a week, but I’m not sure what approach is most likely to help me gain those last few points. Would really appreciate any advice. Thanks!
I just scored a 174 on PT140.
I am having a lot of trouble with practice problems on sufficient and necessary conditions. Each practice problem I attempt concerning the contrapositive, I end up missing the mark (especially on the translating into Lawgic formulas). Does anyone have any tips on how I can master this topic?
Hi, I started studying for the LSAT 6 months ago, and I am taking the April exam. I have scored in 4 PTs in my target range, and I have two weeks until the April exam. I really want this to be the end of my LSAT studying, and that makes me want to push as hard as I can in this last phase of studying. However, I am feeling a lot of mental fatigue and burn out. Does anyone have tips for how to handle these last two weeks of studying? I know that I should be dialing it back for the last week, but I feel like I should still be doing SOMETHING this week, and I am not sure what to do.
Hello!
As the title says, I'm struggling to close the gap between my scores and my blind review scores. I average a 167 on my PTs (best 171), and average a 177 on my blind reviews (best 180). That is a pretty significant jump, and getting consistently over 170 would make my dream schools much more feasible. I am struggling with how to get there.
I think a big thing for me is eye fatigue by the ends of sections and especially by the end of the test. I also just really struggle with the same question types consistently, despite having spent a lot of time reviewing those questions, creating a wrong answer journal, and watching explanations.
Any advice?
I know a video was released just talking about this, however, I wanted to ask regarding my personal circumstance. I am a Junior in college with a busy schedule and heavy load. I am hoping to take the LSAT in June my goal is a 160- I currently have a 145 (diagnostic taken in feb). I started studying more consistently middle of February, however, it is still on and off. Should I take the June one for the experience even if I might not do great? I am just nervous to only have the August LSAT. I will have about a month once school ends to completely lock in and study for the June LSAT. What do we think?
Thank you in advance :).
So I am slated to take the April LSAT, def not ready. I have been studying since mid Feb decently consistently. My main plan is august LSAT is my main. September backup. Should I keep the April test date or move it? When does one want to cancel a score? What does cancelling entail? Can schools see that? Is that bad? If I score like a 150 do I keep that or delete it? Confused on what to do. Thank you!
I feel mentally stuck and like I’m holding myself back from taking practice tests. I think I’m avoiding them because I’m nervous—I’ve been studying and drilling, but it doesn’t feel like it’s fully clicking yet. Because of that, I keep telling myself I shouldn’t take timed tests (or even full practice tests at all) until I completely understand why I’m getting questions wrong and can clearly see the patterns.
Has anyone dealt with this? How do you push past that hesitation?
I’m also trying to memorize simple phrases to guide my approach for each question type so I don’t freeze up in the moment. Does anyone have fun or effective ways to make those stick?
