@Ave_happ22 my diagnostic was 140. Growth is growth even if it’s not a large numerical difference. You got this! Good luck on the June lsat and all your future endeavors!

@j_w180 thank you for responding. I’ll be honest I may or may not retest. I’m looking at my options for schools based on my score, which I know limits my options. That said, I am keeping the option open just in case. I wish you the best of luck though retaking it! You got this!

APRIL LSAT

Hi everyone!

I just wanted to post a quick post of encouragement for those feeling down after finding out their results of the April LSAT. I've been reading other posts and have found it nice to know that I'm not alone, so I thought I would share my thoughts with everyone.

I scored a 151. This was my first time taking it, and I think some of my anxiety got the best of me. That said, I am trying to think of the positives. When I first started studying for the LSAT 8 months ago, all I wanted was a 150. I just wanted to be average. I am not a good standardized test taker. I think on the ACT I might have scored a 19... but I am a student with a 4.0 in both my undergraduate and graduate degrees. I am not a traditional student, and have been working full-time at a courthouse for the last 1.5 years. I studied Criminal Justice and Psychology in my undergrad, and my masters degree is in Criminal Justice.

I have not decided if I'm going to retake, as I am not applying until the next admission cycle (Fall of 2027). Additionally, I am not aiming for a top school. I guess, I just wanted to share this, because this is where I'm at. Feel free to share below.... if you're feeling similar or what your thoughts are. I think it's just nice to "talk" to people who are experiencing the same thing. Regardless, everyone should be proud of themselves because this a difficult test, and we did it and tried our best.

LSAT · Burnout + Constantly Studying

@legallyhaya I understand this. I work full time, so when I'm not working I fill my time studying which usually means 3-4 hours/day and on the weekends I feel like I study majority of the day. That said, I realized that when I become so consumed in something, it controls me and it controls my performance. Taking a break, even when it's for 30 minutes has really helped. I also have learned that when I feel like my life is consumed with LSAT material and I'm not performing like I know I'm capable, then it's okay to take a full day off. I did this a few weeks back after having a panic attack of my lack of improvement, that I took over a day off. When I returned I jumped right back in, and it helped a lot. I think studying is just finding the right kind of balance for you. It also helps if you have friends or family that tell you "its okay to take a break". And if you don't, I'll tell you to take a break. I scored 140 (back in October for my diagnose test) but I am seeing improvement on how analyze the questions, so even if I'm still averaging in the 140s (although I have no idea because I haven't take another pretest), I'm choosing to believe that I am getting better, and that's all I can hope for. I wish you the best of luck!

Don't feel discouraged! I took a practice test and scored a 143, after only studying for a week prior. A month later, I took another practice test and scored a 140. This was prior to 7sage, and I am honestly nervous to take another practice exam, but will be in the next few weeks. After drilling the foundation and now logical reasoning questions, however, I am seeing improvement. That improvement is what is pushing me forward. When I was initially learning, I just told myself I want to get 50% of the questions right. Now, I'm working on questions and trying to get five in a row correct. It might not work for everyone, but I'm a person that needs little goals to keep me motivated. I wish you the best of luck, and know that you are not alone!

Hi! I'm not sure if this is what you are asking or not, but you can adjust your drills. If you click a new drill, there should be an option to customize it, including the level, question type, fresh, etc. If this is not what you are asking, I may not have tumbled across what you are asking about yet. Regardless, I wish you the best of luck with your studying!

@kyorofan20 This was me! I took extra time working through them and just went with the one that made the most sense. I could cry from happiness for finally seeing some improvement with the actual LSAT questions. :)

@lilifakava First off, I am so sorry for your loss. Second, I just started studying for the LSAT. I graduated with my undergrad in 2023, and my graduate degree in 2024. I thought I knew which direction I wanted to take my career, but I shortly realized that I had other goals. Hence... law school. I currently work full time in the court system. I'm struggling to find the time and energy to study for the LSAT but have made it a top goal to take the exam in April of 2026. I'm really hoping that 7Sage will help me learn. I'm from Iowa btw.
