September LSAT/Encouragement

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 :)

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?

😣 FREAKING OUT

How do I get above a 160 score?

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.

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?

🙃 Confused

Trouble with 4 and 5 level questions

Hi!

I am drilling by my hardest question types and doing very well with level 1-3 questions but i am having trouble with the 4/5 level questions. On some questions i am completely confused and have NO idea what i am even supposed to do and then some of them i understand but feel like i am occasionally overlooking the right answers because it looks too simple. i get that they are meant to be harder but i am struggling so much with them. if anyone has any advice is would be much appreciated!!

Should I cancel my score?

I took the LSAT earlier this year and scored in the low-170s. Concerned about the September LSAT due to how I felt on the test and a variety of personal factors. Should I purchase score preview so I can cancel?

Plateauing?

I have been studying for the LSAT for about a year or so, on and off depending on whatever is going on in my life. I have taken the test and my highest score is a 164. I am trying to aim for a higher score so I can take a shot at a T-14 school (like Northwestern) with a GPA of 3.58. I took a practice test last week but it seems like I capped out at 164. I am wondering what I am doing wrong. I have been blind reviewing, but it seems like I cannot figure out for the life of me how to avoid the same mistakes I have made. Does anyone have advice?

😞 Hopeless

Why am I doing worse on the LSAT?

I initially started studying for the LSAT on "LSAT Demon", mostly taking practice tests, in June. I was averaging out at about a 165, but my highest test score was a 169 right before I took the actual LSAT in August. On that test, I scored a 163. I was devastated. It completed knocked the wind out of my sails and I didn't study for all the rest of August and most of September.

I just started studying here on "7Sage" last week, as I am scheduled to take the October LSAT. On my first day of "7Sage", I took a practice test and scored a 161. When I initially studied for the LSAT, I was doing around one practice test a week, with very little other studying. Now, here on "7Sage", I've been doing around 6 hours of studying a day, mimimum, and it seems like I keep doing worse and worse. I always get at least 5 questions wrong in each section, and my drilling accuracy is 80%. Why am I getting worse? How do I fix this most efficiently? Because I am willing to do all the work necessary, but I also don't want to burn out, and it seems like "more studying" just isn't working, even though I always review every answer I get wrong.

LSAT PRACTICE TEST

Hello, I have taken the LSAT twice already and I cannot pass the 140s. I am trying to reach 155 before applying to law school. Right now i'm going through the foundations and have a study plan. Should I take a practice test at the end of my study plan in December before I start phase 2 or should I just take one now?

The Reccomended for BR feature has me feeling conflicted as someone who just switched from classic to new. The fact that it picks out questions you're incorrect on makes me wonder if its impeding my own ability to see what questions I'm likely to be wrong at. It also flags questions for BR that aren't incorrect, but makes me psychologically think they are, so I end up changing them.

What's your experience been? Have you found it helpful in understanding what you're wrong at, focusing your attention on weak areas, and being more confident? Or the opposite, is it stopping you from learning?

Accommodations

Is anyone still waiting to hear about accommodations for the November LSAT? It's been 2 weeks and LSAC just told me it'll probably be another 3 weeks before I have an answer

Moralist: Closing this factory would destroy 500 jobs and devastate families. We therefore should keep the factory open.

Environmentalist: Ridiculous. Merely pointing out negative consequences of the proposed factory shutdown does not prove we must keep the factory open. You’re overlooking potential benefits! This shows we should proceed with the factory shutdown.

Moralist: Pure nonsense. Obviously I know that I should have considered potential benefits and established why the costs of the factory shutdown would outweigh those benefits. But the fact that my argument was inadequate to prove my conclusion does not show that my conclusion was wrong! So your own response is flawed when you conclude that we should close the factory. Given your fallacious response, it’s clear that we should keep the factory open.

Environmentalist: Foolish hogwash. You’re the one committing the “fallacy fallacy”! Even if my own response was flawed, that doesn’t prove that we should keep the factory open. You can’t just reject my conclusion because my argument for closing the factory was a weak and unpersuasive criticism of your own argument for keeping it open. This is why the right course of action is to shut down the factory.

Moralist: Utter codswallop. Yes, perhaps I committed the “fallacy fallacy,” but the conclusion of my fallacious argument could still be true! What reason have you given for proceeding with the shutdown? None. All you’ve done is criticized my own argument against the shutdown. Hence, we should keep the factory open.

Concerned citizen: Please, just stop! Don’t you hear yourselves? You’re both committing the same fallacy over and over. Moralist, if you want to argue in favor of keeping the factory open based on the costs of a shutdown, you should show that you’ve considered potential benefits and that they either don’t exist or are outweighed by the costs. And Environmentalist, if you want to argue that we should proceed with the shutdown, you should tell us about the benefits of the shutdown and why they outweigh the costs. Tearing down each other’s arguments doesn’t build up your own. That’s why you’re both wrong. We should neither close nor keep the factory open.

Moralist and Environmentalist: Absurd drivel. Pointing out that our arguments were flawed doesn’t prove that our conclusions were false. That’s why, contrary to your absolute bilge-water conclusion, we should both close the factory and keep it open.

😖 Frustrated

Help with timing issues!

Hi everyone!! This is my first time posting on discussion. I have a September test date and I'm not doing so well. My PT scores have been consistently decrease for the past three weeks while my BR score has been increasing. I know this is common so I know this is a timing issue. I was wondering what are the best timing drills/ strategies/ practice I can use to help. For reference, my most recent PT (149) I got a 155 and a 168 on BR. My cold diagnostic was a 150. My highest PT (140) I got a 163 with a 169 on BR. I would like to get into the 170 region but at this rate, I'm not sure if it's possible. I know that this means I know the content and need help with timing. Would love to hear some opinions!

Thanks!

Hi everyone! Is there any way to change the preferences of the blind review? I would prefer, at this point in my studying, if, after a section, blind review didn't highlight questions I got right but spent too much time on.

Blind Review Feature on New Site

Hi, I took a preptest and was prompted to do the blind review right after. I clicked in order to take a brief break before doing the blind review, however now when I click on the "review" button there is no longer a blind review option available? Is this normal? How can I still do a blind review?
