I find myself between two answers frequently, and I know that is not ideal. When I get them right or wrong, I struggle to understand why. What is the best way to review your answers, understand exactly why an answer is right or wrong, and stay focused during this process?

Hi you guys, I am based in Austin, Texas and I am looking for a study buddy! Text me 512-761-8036 or dm me on instagram @Onyisellstxhomes!

Just started studying this week. Got a 143 on my diagnostic, and have been going over my study plan this week. I consider myself a reasonably intelligent person, but this is genuinely convincing me I am dumb. I have been doing very bad with reading comprehension with the timer and just in general getting a lot of questions wrong. Anyone else have a rough period when they started and does it get any easier?

Hi, I just started learning for the LSAT just a week ago and took a diagnostic test. I got a 147 which is a little discouraging, but I'm staying focused and motivated. I intend to score in the high 170s.

I noticed that my main problem was speed and comprehension. The pressure of the timer really gets to me and makes it harder to focus on what I'm reading. I've faced this problem in many tests in the past. I know I can up my base score to at least the low 150s just by fixing this timing problem and no additional LSAT prep.

All the words jumble together and stop meaning anything, then I panic about wasting time, lose my train of thought and the cycle begins again. In the end I completely missed 4-6 questions in each section alone just because of timing. I'm considering applying for accommodation when the time comes, but I want to plan for worst case scenario.

Here are the things I'm planning to do:

1. Timed drills every other day, with less time than on the official LSAT

2. I ask Chat GPT to generate boring, and difficult to read passages every day, then answer questions on them to increase my general reading compression skills. (I usually avoid AI so if anyone has recommendations that replace Chat GPT please let me know)

3. Start doing regular daily activities - like cooking breakfast, getting ready, etc. - with timers. My thought process is that If I get used to timing things in general it will eventually feel like less pressure?

That's all I've got. Does any one have any tips on how to work faster? And how to get rid of that timer/test anxiety?

Someone please tell me that I am not the only one that has a hard time staying focused while watching videos and learning the LSAT materials? some days its like i am motivated to study and then others and especially if i just took a practice test that week my brain can not stay engaged.

If anyone has any advice that would be great

I register for the January test in California specifically SoCal area. Im sorry but scheduling was awful, my nearest test center is 50 miles away compared to the first time which was only 10 miles. Now I have to travel 50 miles and take a test at 7:30 am.

Hello! I am currently registering for the January LSAT and wondering if I should take it in-person or remote. For those who have taken it before, what do you recommend?

Is there any updates on the classic site being down?

How can I break into the mid 170s?? Do I need to change the way I'm practicing and reviewing (sections and wrong answer journal) or just practice more? Does anyone have tips to start scoring consistently -0/-1 on LR instead of -2/-3? Also does anyone have issues with RC consistency / tips on how to become more consistent?

I've noticed my biggest weakness, especially for RC, are science passages/questions. I don't know if it's intimidation or just being completely incompetent at understanding basic science, but I really struggle here. I get confused mid-stimulus and lose the point of the question, then tend to start worrying about how I'm doing on time.

I guess a lot of it has to do with just being able to comprehend the passages, but that in itself is quite difficult for me. So are there any tips anyone has for science questions? Or am I kinda cooked?

Hi Everyone! I have pretty much exhausted all of the material for studying and I'm not sure if I should just continue with re-doing some sections or use the bonus prep tests. I know that it says that they are not indicative of the current tests, so just wondering how beneficial they would be for practice.

Hi! I am making my way through core curriculum and completing the questions assigned each day along with watching the lessons. I did notice when looking at my analytics that I have not drilled many questions and I was wondering if people suggest to up my drilling once I've finished core or if they recommend doing it alongside core? I know I am learning concepts but I worry that I am not putting in enough time or practice. Is there like a 'homework' plan alongside the lessons? Can anyone also lmk how long they spent in between testing and completing core just drilling, attending live classes and doing PTs? Much appreciated :)

this was my 5th practice test, other two were on LSAC and were 138 and 135. I started studying in september early, with the lsat trainer book clearly didn't help me just taught me the basics i guess, i finished it, and have had 7 sage for barely a month. Since i have been going down i went back to the foundations and core curriculum for about 3 weeks now. I feel like doing the core curriculum things are starting to click and i wanted to take a prep test just to see where im at. do you guys reccomend sticking to foundations and not doing preptests or should i keep doing them weekly? My goal is to take april lsat aiming for 160+

Please give me advice w out discouraging me more than i already am

I took a practice test a few months ago for the first time and got a 161. I did not study additional LSAT material since then, but I retook a different practice test just now and got a 168. I have a lower GPA so I need a higher LSAT score for law school admissions. My goal is a 171+ but hopefully around the 173-174 range. Should I go ahead with schedule and take the LSAT that I am signed up for in January, do intense prep until then, and risk having to retake in the future? Or should I reschedule for later in the year when I have prepped more so I only have one good attempt on my record?

I started studying for the LSAT in the beginning of September and spend about 2 hours a day studying for the exam. I originally planned to take the LSAT in February, but am now considering taking it in April because I am not sure I feel ready. I really want to score high 150s - 160. Is it bad that I am pushing off this test? Is about 7 months of studying, 1-2 hours a day good?

I took the LSAT in August, took a break 3 month break from studying, and I'm ready to get back into it! Does anyone have any advice on the best way to resume studying?

I’m new to this discussion forum and currently preparing for the LSAT. I really like how structured the 7Sage lessons are, especially for logic games and logical reasoning. Sometimes the preparation feels overwhelming, but following a clear plan helps a lot. One thing I’m learning during LSAT prep is how important attention to detail is. Small mistakes in assumptions or timing can change the whole answer. This mindset is helpful not only for exams but also in real life work. In my daily job, I also deal with detailed planning and calculations, like working on moisture protection estimating services, where accuracy and careful review are very important. I feel these skills connect well with LSAT thinking.

Wishing best of luck to everyone studying, and happy to be part of this community.

Hi everyone, just wanted to share a review tip that has been really helpful for me. I have found it really helpful during some of my review to talk through sections outloud in real time, recording my entire process on a voice memo app (Macs have a really good one built in). This process allows me to get a real picture of my thinking and process for every question. I found that way to often I was reviewing questions and the only feedback I had for myself was "oh man this was so obvious, what a stupid mistake" but this didn't help me understand why I actaully made that mistake, or why I preffered one answer choice over another.

By doing this for sections and pts, I have been able to allocate review time much better, and to accurately diagnose my wrong answers without the hinderance of hindsight clouding my process.

Good luck, and hope this helps someone.

To take a practice test for the first time to see my starting point to take my improvement, should I just take a prep test on 7Sage or where should I take this test?

Hi!

I've been studying for almost 3 months (1st with the core curriculum and then with drills and live classes), but my PT scores haven't changed. I notice I do understand the test more, but I'm struggling to decide how to structure my study moving forwards. Should I target slower understanding or drills with more pace? Some guidance would be appreciated! Currently planning on the February LSAT>

:)

I just scored a 147 on PT127.

This was my first time taking a practice test. In many ways this is my diagnostic. My goal is a 160 on test day. Any advice or thoughts?

Hi guys, just curious what do you do to get into that laser focus and flow state? Should I drink coffee or energy drink or some kind of supplement? I seem to zone out sometimes during my PT's unfortunately. Thanks for the help!

I just reached the Practice block sections of 7sage. I generated the blocks and was curious how 7Sage determines what questions and topics they give you? Do I need to manually edit my preferences, or does it use analytics from previous drills/practice questions I did during the curriculum. I want to make sure I am practicing in the weak areas as well as hitting all different question types.

As the title states, I just need a bit more clarification on how to know when I need to find an answer that asks me to identify the missing link, rather than an answer that, if negated, would weaken the argument.

I recently attempted this question and was stumped to find that I needed to find an answer that was the missing link.

Hi everyone! I'm wondering if anyone has advice for struggling with the PTs in the 150s. I know a lot of prep companies etc. say that there isn't much that is different about these newer exams, and it's oftentimes just test anxiety that makes people do worse, but I uniquely score below my median only on certain exams in the 150s (specifically 150 itself, 151 and 152 were most difficult for me).

For anyone else who has this issue, were there specific question types, etc you worked on drilling? I'm wondering what I can do or hone to make sure that this no longer is somewhat of a blind spot for me. For the most part, I get tripped up in these RC sections, but also on LR questions with atypical ACs (as opposed to one question type more so than the others).
