I have been studying for months, i finally decided to take a month or so off and continue harder in the summer so i can focus on undergrad studies, and I haven't touched the LSAT in two weeks and I've been at peace. I decided today to maybe do a few drills.... My stress, frustration, irritation, self hatred, imposter syndrome, the feeling of just impending doom and dread all came back to me. I have to keep reminding myself without the LSAT I wont get into law school, wont get any scholarships, I NEED to do well on the LSAT. I also have to remind myself that I am still only 19, I graduate next spring at 20 and i apply to law school this fall, and hopefully ill be starting law school at 21. Idk like the LSAT test, the whole process is one of the hardest things I've ever experienced and I was feeling good, and the second I looked at this damn test again it all crumbled.

@MichaelWright lmao you're right on me being type A because I've been studying for the LSAT since August and i plan to apply for 2027 cycle so I'm very early. so what about taking a two month break from now until early may and then taking official LSAT in august? will taking that long of a break affect where I'm currently at, 145-147 Pts?
is taking a two month long break okay? starting again in may and grinding hard all summer to take the test in august ?
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.
Hi, i am currently doing my practice block on my study plan. I took a full practice test on saturday and i have a certain amount of assignments to complete each day. I took yesterday off since it was the day after my practice test, and today is monday and i come to complete my daily drills and i literally cant focus. Like i keep getting them wrong. Is that a sign maybe of drain from the PT, should i stop or push through it?
Am I the only person who sometimes, no matter how many times I read a passage or how hard I try cant understand what the passage is saying and end up having to just guess and search up key words in the passage which sometimes, I actually dont do as bad as you would think by guessing. Does anyone have any tips or tricks, or maybe Im just dumb and am the only person that cant understand some passages.
Anyone else feel hopeless sometimes with theLSAT? I’m sitting at home for the holidays beating myself up for not studying and just constantly feeling worried that I won’t ever score good
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 am in the same boat wanted to take febuary lsat and started early september and i cant get out of high 130s and blind reviewing 150s i am def not ready so i also am gonna push off febuary also, if it makes you feel less alone. I dont feel ready at all and taking more time to study to get a better score is good because it means higher chances of not having to retake
I would take it in January and study really hard until then, you don't get the score you just retake the February or April. Sometimes law schools like that you retake the LSAT even if you get a good score because it shows that you care and know you can do better & want the best score. If that makes sense, I hope this helps!:) Overall, go with how comfortable you feel
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
@SarahIngram You are a lifesaver thank you!! so crazy that the same book did nothing for us both
@SarahIngram it didnt happen to be the LSAT trainer book did it? the same thing happened to me. I also struggle with stregnthen and weaken, which youtube videos helped you if you dont mind me asking? anyways thank you so much for relating with me and your response!:)
hey guys , i need advice/help. I am studying by myself no tutor, i did my first ever practice test end of August and got a 138 then the next test i did was in october which was 135 and then a week ago 133 and then on that last one i blind reviewed a 150. Today i took a practice test untimed and got a 139 and am going to wait a day to blind review. Is this a normal process for some? I also didnt get 7sage till a week ago and it has way more helpful tools then the book i was using. I notice when i take the test i get stuck with having 2-3 answer choices and on my blind review i would choose the other answer choice i was stuck between. How do i break the cycle of getting the right answer the first time? thanks
@GabrielleAndrade I needed this thank you so much, Best of luck to you!:)
