Hi all -

I have always wanted to take the LSAT but have been putting it off for YEARS. I signed for 7Sage 5 years ago and never followed through. This year I have decided that I want to start studying and hopefully be ready to take the LSAT this year. I’ve never studied so it’ll all be super new to me. If you’re just getting started as well or are interested in partnering up, please let me know. I’m located in MA and most likely will be looking at schools here when I start applying. I should also add that I have most of the LSAT study materials (LSAT bible books, past actual tests, etc.). I just need to get started and take at least the first test to see how I score while managing my FT work and family needs.

I'm looking for other motivated test takers to discuss getting as close to a 180 as possible (including, of course getting a 180). Anyone interested?

I think its important to talk to people who have similar goals, both for motivation and for sharing tips, study habits, and generally getting into the mindset that scoring a 180 is very doable. In talking to others who have scored a 180 or close to it on the actual test, they have also talked about the importance of finding study partners who have similar goals.

Let me know if you're interested!

My last three PTs were 175, 176, 179

Hello all! I'm looking for a study buddy/accountability buddy. I wrote my first diagnostic test two years ago before I started work full time and never really looked at lsat until around April of this year. I've done a few more tests and am scoring around 161 but am aiming for 170+. I'm writing my LSAT in October and am located in Alberta!

Looking for people to study with, keeping each other accountable. My schedule is a bit more limited as I am still working full time (so evenings + weekends).

Please let me know if you'd be interested :)

Hi everyone!

I am retaking the LSAT and would love to have a study buddy or study buddies depending on how many are interested. I got a 145 on an actual test two years ago and am studying with the goal of 165+. I live in Hawaii. I haven’t met any 7Sagers in Hawaii so anyone in the mainland is also welcome. I’m okay with connecting remotely - here, via email, or online study sessions.

I’m just looking for someone I can discuss questions with and possibly grow with as well. I know that a 145 isn’t ideal for a study friend, but I am willing to put in the work. I actually haven’t studied as well I should have prior. Life happened. I’m currently working fill time so I’m studying 3 hours on the weekdays, at 8+ hours on a weekend.

I don’t have an estimate of when I’ll be taking the exam, but from prior experience, I think I’m going to just study and once I start hitting my score goal in the practice tests, I’ll schedule to take the exam.

Thanks and I look forward to hearing from some of you.

I am looking for someone to hold be accountable for the November LSAT and for me to do the same. I am hoping this is someone I can really use for advice, sounding board, and all things LSAT/Law School related. I promise to do the same, no one in my life is preparing for law school so this would be super helpful! Message me! Preferably a girl and my location is Austin, Tx, but I see this being more of an email/text thing.

Looking for someone who is early on in the CC and wants someone to send daily reminders / talk about course material to help keep each other motivated. If this is something that peaks your fancy then drop a line. I am shooting for the October LSAT.

Hi everyone! I'm taking the LSAT in August and thought it might be nice to have a group of folks to study with for the last couple of months. I'm currently scoring around 168-171 on PTs and am aiming for 170-175 on test day. Let me know if you're interested- if there's a pre-existing group I'd love to join as well. Thanks!

June/July LSAT Study Group

Hey Everyone! I know that a lot of us wanted to join a study group for the summer LSAT tests. This is the separate thread where you can put down your email so that we can coordinate! Please send your email if you wanted to join!

I study every day and am working most intensely on trying to improve on logic games, I'm pretty good at everything else and can share resources! I find it easier to stay motivated when I've got other people working towards the same goal.

The reason I mention 170 plus is because of the following suggestion from a 180 scorer

Share the Same Goals - In one sense, my in-person partner did not have the same goal as me (HYS) because she didn't have the GPA for it, but my online partner did. In another sense, we all had similar goals (a top LSAT score), although my goal was still probably a little more ambitious than my in-person partner's (i.e. a 180 vs. -172-175). I think it probably helps to be paired up with someone with the same goal, but I can't say it's a necessary characteristic to look for, because my in-person partner was useful despite not having the exact same goal. Same Passion and Drive - See above; it seems like it's probably very helpful, but it may not be necessary to have someone as highly motivated as you are. One thing you definitely DON'T want, though, is someone who will meet up with you and then detract from your ability to study (by chatting with you, for example). Note: I was able to get some of the benefit of this characteristic from reading the advice in the "How to Get a 160+" thread.

DEPENDABLE - This is probably one of the most important characteristics to look for in an in-person study partner. My in-person partner and I met at least one or two other people at the Borders where we studied (and talked to several others on TLS), but all of them stopped coming (or never showed up in the first place). Be ready for this; it's probably a good idea to meet up with people as close to your house/apartment as possible, so that you won't be too inconvenienced by people not showing up. Being on time is another important thing, although both I and my partner were lazy at times. Try to have at least 3-4 hours free whenever you plan to meet up with others, because it may well be an hour after your arranged meeting time before the other person shows up and you're both done using the bathroom and eating.

Share Suggestions and Opinions - You can get a lot of this benefit from reading the advice of highscorers and by asking for advice in the forums. On the other hand, I tried to always focus on this aspect of my training partner relationships, because I thought that the best way for us to improve would be to reflect on our mistakes and try to think of ways to avoid those mistakes in the future. There were also times when my partners and I made suggestions that I never saw in a forum.

Honest and Critical - The importance of this can go either way; it is important to have a partner who can help you spot weaknesses in your study method or test-taking method, but it is also important to have someone who won't be overly critical and hurt your morale. I was probably more critical than my in-person partner (probably because I had more time to study and thus found it easier to put out a big, and frequently told her when I thought she was wasting her time with a particular method or not studying hard enough. It seemed to annoy her at times, which is when I would back off. Ultimately, though, I think the combination of my criticism and my own hard work (which she could see for herself) may have motivated her to study harder than she would have if I wasn't paired up with her. For example, in the last month or two before the test she said she was putting out an enormous effort including taking a PT a day, which is not an easy thing to do for more than a few days.

Hi all,

I don't have a set test date yet but I'm looking to start a group to go over PT's, ask questions and just generally pool our knowledge. I've been a part of one before and it's a great way to structure studying and hold each other accountable. Let me know if you're interested!

Hello All,

I am looking to join an ongoing study group that is preparing for the August exam or anyone that is looking for an accountability partner that can bounce feedback LSAT related on a daily basis. I'm not a natural high scorer by any means but I know with hard work and collaboration with others we can all achieve great things.

Right now I'm trying to get reading comp down pat but am constantly drilling LR/LG daily.

Hello, I am looking for a study partner/group to get ready for the LSAT, I am just starting so someone similar would be awesome. I need someone who is definitely open to text messaging and phone convo to really break down this information and someone who is very serious. Send me a message if you are interested.
