Hi everyone, I’m preparing to take my LSAT Argumentative Writing sample at home, but I have posters in my room that I don’t want to take down. I’m not sure if it’s allowed to cover them up, and I don’t want to get flagged. Since I took my LSAT in person before, I’m unsure how proctoring works for this. Can anyone advise me? I need to do this soon and would really appreciate help!

Hello everyone,

I plan on taking the LSAT in April and I am really trying to get a 174-6. I have been studying for about 3 months but have recently doubled my study time per day considering the exam is in 2 months. My RC seems to be a bit worse than my LR but that depends on the section and is gradually getting better. For the exam I am planning on allocating 3-4 wrong for the RC section and 0-2 wrong for the LR. I tend to score -2 to -4 (-1/-0 on BR) on LR and have only once got a -1. How do I constantly bring this down to a -1 or -0? I have been doing a lot of sections in order to prefect understanding under timed pressure not totally sure if this has helped/will help. Thank!!!!

I get really anxious when I read in the default font, so I always zoom in to an extreme. I use the pinch-to-zoom on Safari, and I was just wondering if this is supported on the LSAT? To clarify, I don't like increasing the font and line spacing, just the viewing window. Would really appreciate your insight, thank you!

Going to be completely transparent, as an application, I have no idea where I stand. LSAT:146, GPA:3.70, plenty of work experience throughout college, current job I work I deal largely with the legal team and contracts. Going to apply with this score and hope for the best. Wish me luck, Hopefully I can come back to this post as someone who was able to get an acceptance to provide hope to anyone who feels like a bad LSAT score is the end of the world.

Has anyone else been unable to complete the Argumentative Writing portion?

I tried to connect for 2+ hours today. I have a MacBook Air which meets all the required specs, downloaded the newest OS, updated Chrome as advised, and downloaded the Guardian extension. But when I clicked the test link, it took me to a page to download the Guardian extension again as if it wasn't already there. No matter what I did, I never got past this page.

Numerous calls to tech support were useless, I was advised to do the same few things over and over before they ultimately opened a new tab to connect me to a proctor and rapidly disconnected the chat. Restart computer. Remove and add Guardian extension. Uninstall and reinstall Chrome. Lather, rinse, repeat. The prevailing advice from LSAC, because this is a novel issue, was to "try another computer." Not really a feasible option for me, so I tried going the Apple support route with no success. Then LSAC advised me on the last call this is a "known issue" and to try again in a few days.

At this point I'm beyond frustrated and at a loss. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, how did you fix it?

I took the LSAT this past October and January and obtained a 157 both times. I have already applied to Law schools in Canada, and I am now waiting for responses. Just in case, I am planning to study for the LSAT again in hopes of obtaining a much higher score next November and potentially January as well. this will leave me with nearly a full 11 months to study. I have already studied for about 4-5 months on LSAT Demon.

I am wondering if there is any strategy of specific things I should focus on in order to obtain a high score? How can I best use these next 11 months to obtain the highest score possible?

Other than in keeping on?

I've been studying using 7sage for years (on and off but more recently, very much on) now. Completed the entire course curriculum (before the Website transfer) and have taken around 3 practice tests. The first two I took were at the end of last year and I got a 153 on both, which were taken a few weeks apart, with blind review scores ranging between 170-177. My most recent practice test, now, yielded a freaking 148(!!!!) and a 165 blind review score.

Between all these tests, I've also done tons of drills and always review the videos for the questions I got wrong, had trouble with, spent too much time on, etc. Same method on the practice tests.

At this point, I just feel like I'm crashing out of a sky I never really got up too high in.

It's bad enough to get a 153 after years of studying and even worse to now drop down somehow to a 148. I also can't really wrap my head around being able to get close to a near perfect score during blind review, which I would think demonstrates some level of comprehension, but getting a timed score that isn't uncommon for someone who has never even looked at lsat study materials to get.

I really need help, advice, etc. Kind of at my wits end here...

***I should mention that yes, timing is an issue for me. I can, on a good session, answer at least 14-17/25-26 questions under LR sections. On the other hand, on RC sections, I'm finding I can really only get to and complete 2/4 passages. In those rare instances I make it to the 3rd passage, I can't finish all the questions for said passage.***

Some people have told me not to register until I am consistently PTing at my goal score, but what is considered consistent? I really want to register for April (otherwise I will not be able to sit until August due to immovable scheduling conflicts), but I'm not at my goal score yet and I don't want to waste an attempt.

I feel like waiting until August for my first (and hopefully only) attempt feels so last minute since I want to apply for law school in the 2026-2027 cycle. Am I creating an unnecessary time constraint? Any advice is helpful!

For context - my goal is to get as close to a 180 as possible, but realistically I would be happy with 173+

My last PT was a 168 (BR 174) in jan, and since then I've been scoring -1 to -4 on all practice sections, RC and LR.

How do Law schools determine or analyze GPA if someone has multiple degrees? Do they look at the combined GPA of the degree put together or each individually?

Also, does having a masters degree help in any way for the application process? To be honest, I do not really deserve the degree... I just did it so I could keep playing college sports, but oh well... I guess I have it

I just got an email saying my score is on hold (email came Monday; score release is supposed to be Wednesday). I am hoping that it's because my score went up (from my prior 174), but does anyone have any insight into causes of a score hold based on past experiences? I did the argumentative writing on a prior administration, so that's not the holdup.

In this episode, @AlexJacobs sits down with Sasha to break down The Game Plan behind his jump from a 151 to a 175 on the LSAT.

Before law school was even on the radar, Sasha worked in basketball management and coaching. Along the way, he picked up habits and mental frameworks that turned out to be a perfect fit for LSAT prep. From film study to practice planning to staying composed under pressure, Sasha explains how lessons from sports translated directly to test day success.

Alex and Sasha talk about how to approach the LSAT with focus, why preparation matters more than motivation, and how thinking like a coach helped Sasha diagnose weaknesses and make steady gains.

If you come from a sports background or just want a more structured, disciplined way to attack the LSAT, this episode is for you.

The LSAT is hard. We’ll help you crush it anyways.

Thanks to 7sage, I am leaving with a 178! Best of luck to everyone else who’s still studying—you’ve got this!

I am struggling to find a general rule that allows me to identify either by question stem or by answer choice when I can suspect that the correct answer to an NA question will also be a sufficient assumption. An example NA question with a sufficient assumption correct answer is 140.1.22. Does anyone have any general principles or rules?

Heyy, I am struggling with all Parallel/analogy questions does anyone have something that helped them understand how to go about it. Thanks

Hello hello!

I took the February test this weekend (yay!), but I ran into some trouble trying to take the argumentative writing section. When I went to take it last week, my Google Chrome gave me a "Privacy Error". I had to call and ask them to reset the section for me! My plan is try it again tomorrow, but I wanted to ask if any other Mac-users experienced the same issue and what you did to get around it.

Thanks!

I need to know that I’m not alone.

So I have been studying for months. I really locked in December > January and I took a break from prep tests which really helped me improve I took my first prep test from that month long break last week. After everything went down hill like I was so good at studying and doing better and focusing and now ever since the PT I can’t focus at all and it causes me to do bad. Any advice? Maybe I’m experiencing burnout? Do I need like more sleep less screen time, I read books but it’s been awhile so maybe I should start again to build my stamina?

I was planning on April test date but at this point it’s like maybe June. LSAT is truly one of the most hard and confusing processes.

I am struggling with my stamina for reading comprehension. I either have to pause after every section or two to take a short brain break, or I do the section but don't comprehend anything and get a bad score.

Any tips for improving this?

How does everyone track their LSAT applications? Are their websites or templates that everyone uses?

Hello everyone,

I have completed the foundational portion of the course and have jumped to the LR question types now. I was wondering would you recommend finishing the LR question types first? Or can I practice the questions on the side as well? Along with completing the course.

Thanks

I got a really high score once on a PT and now every single test is significantly lower- what do I do, how can I make my highest consistent?

Does anyone have any specific advice on improving RC accuracy? I keep getting the same score despite feeling like I review my answers well. A trouble of mine is that I'm not even really sure how to overcome my mistakes since there's no 'rule' to apply, like with LR which is seemingly more formulaic.

When should I take my first full practice exam? During foundations modules or after?? How far out from my LSAT?? PLZZ HELp <33

Previously, when selecting a Q-Type tag (like MBT) and a Stim Logic tag (like Conditional Reasoning), you'd get questions tagged MBT OR CondR. But we've found that most students and tutors prefer an AND relationship in that situation. They'd really want to target conditional-based MBT questions and prefer to minimize other kinds of questions.

Here's how the filters work now:

Multiple tags within the same category: OR

Example: Must Be True, Sufficient Assumption = MBT OR SA

Example: Conditional Reasoning, Causal Reasoning = CondR OR CausR

Multiple tags across different categories: AND

Example: Sufficient Assumption, Causal Reasoning = SA AND CausR

Example: Must Be True, Sufficient Assumption, Conditional Reasoning, Causal Reasoning = (MBT OR SA) AND (CondR OR CausR)

Hi friends! Just took my first official LSAT. I had a major technological issue which really messed up my focus, and I am unsure how I did.

I am worried I might have to take the LSAT again to get the score I really want, but I also do want to take some time to rest after just taking it.

Does anyone have tips on how to maintain testing skills during downtime? My main concern is that I will take too much time off and then be pushed back again on my studies.

Thanks!

I have a tough time trying to answer questions that require looking back into the passage. Usually because it takes up a lot of time and sometimes multiple answers seem right. Any tips to get better at these? Currently my RC score is -10.
