Hi everyone, if you find this useful, an upvote helps it reach more people!
A few people have asked for an RC specific version after an earlier post I made on general wrong-answer journaling. RC was the section that gave me the most trouble, but eventually became the most comfortable. I could usually work out decent LR scores, and loved logic games (RIP) but RC kept me stuck in the high 160s for a long part of my studying. I reviewed countless missed questions, reread passages, watched explanations, and still felt like I was hitting a plateau so i figured the journaling system that worked for LR needed a adjustment for RC, and that adjustment is what finally moved me.
I’ve been tutoring for about five years and have worked with 100+ students. I was primarily self taught through 7SAGE and I worked with a tutor as well on a weekly basis. I especially like helping people who feel stuck in the 150s–160s finally break through with something structured. I scored a 180 while balancing a heavy undergrad course load and 20+ hour work weeks, so I focused on efficient review processes and practical drilling pt cycles and I emphasize this for my students.
Why most RC review lacks
Wrong answer journaling RC is very tricky and requires a different, more specific approach when compared to LR. For LR, a weak journal is usually just a list of missed questions and copied explanations. For RC, often Ive seen that people reread the passage and the explanation and think something shallow like "yeah that makes sense now", but simply rereading isn’t proper reviewing, the passage makes sense the second time because you’re not under time pressure and you already know where the trap is, whats more important is focusing on growth and learning through that review.
When I was plateaued I went back through some old RC sections I had reviewed, before looking at the passage again I made myself write from memory one sentence per paragraph describing what job that paragraph was doing, and struggled on most of them. I could name the topic- some art criticism, a legal issue or a scientific debate, but I couldn’t reliably say where the author agreed with the scholar they were describing, where they shifted away, or what role each paragraph actually played which revealed to me that a lack of depth was the problem/
The journaling process that fixed it
Before you look at your missed questions, rewrite the passage from memory as one sentence per paragraph. Not simply what it’s about, focus on what job the paragraph is performing, whats the purpose: Is this background? Is the author finally stating their own view? Is it a counterargument they’re about to refute? If you're unable to answer these questions, thats where you need to focus your rc practice in the near future.
Next, mark whose voice is whose, an incredibly important step thats often overlooked. RC passages usually describe or quote a scholar, a theory, a group, or a historical figure, and then the author agrees, disagrees, or complicates it. The most common trap answer tends to be an answer that’s true of the cited viewpoint but gets attributed to the author, or vice versa instead of some subtle logical trick like on lr. If you can’t immediately say whose opinion a given sentence belongs to, you'll fall for this and it will feel like a hard inference when it’s more of a summarization and recall error.
When you watch or read the explanation, don’t only confirm you understand why the right answer is right, look for the exact phrase in the passage it’s paraphrasing, and note where you should focus your reading, next time you encounter such a passage. RC answers are often not pure inferences you have to build as much as they’re restatements of important info in the passage. If the explanation shows a connection you missed, write down the actual sentence you skimmed past.
Next write down why the wrong answer got you and be specific, not just “it was tempting", focus on this type of reflection:
Restated real info from the passage but subtly shifted or intensified the scope
Accurate info about the passage but didn’t answer the question that was actually asked
Accurate about one side of a debate or issue and wrong about the other
Accurate about your interpretation of the passage as opposed to a proper understanding of it
Name these patterns and identify key takeaways going forward. A few weeks of this can make a big difference. I often struggled with inferences and authors tone, but for you it might be rushing the last paragraph, missing indicator words, or something else that you need to identify.
Also journal guesses and near misses, if you narrowed it to two and picked wrong, journal that as carefully as an actual miss. Finish these entries with an actual takeaway you’ll use next time, dont be vague, instead write something specific like: “Before answering an inference/tone question, find the sentence where the author’s own voice appears".
Weekly review of the journal
Once a week, spend some time with some of your last several entries and look only at the skeleton summaries and takeaways. If you keep losing track of the authors tone or argument on the same type of paragraph, focus on specific and fixable reading habits like losing the thread, and drill similar passages that replicate these difficult topics.
Tutoring with me
In sessions I work through this skeleton, summarization and voice tracking process live with students while they read, and we break down some of the hardest passages in depth. I’m hands on and stay reachable by email and phone between sessions, communication with each other is one of the big parts of success!

LSAT SCORE-
Hello! My name is Lia, and I am offering tutoring services for $70/hour.
My diagnostic score was 163, and I scored a 180 on my first LSAT this September after studying for 6 months on 7Sage. I did not have a tutor and relied mainly on teaching each question to myself, using the written and video explanations for support.
I knew that receiving tutoring would not have benefited me to the degree that teaching a question to myself and fully understanding it through this process benefitted me, but I also recognize that not everyone learns the same way, and having a tutor can make the process more efficient for some people.
With some time on my hands, I have decided to tutor the LSAT. I have been a tutor for college students since 2022, mainly tutoring math and computer programming. Even though it was not the LSAT, it means I have years of experience conveying and teaching complicated subjects to others. In terms of direct LSAT tutoring experience, I have also begun tutoring the LSAT over the past few months, and my clients have seen progress and requested continued support.
If you're interested in my services, feel free to comment or send me a DM! Or even if you just want some general advice or to chat, I love connecting with dedicated law school applicants!
Hi everyone - I'm looking for a tutor for the Nov. LSAT. I got a 165 on the September test and a 170 on my most recent PT and am really hoping for at least a 172 in November, so I'd like to work with someone who can help me iron out those final questions that I'm getting wrong.
I'd really like to work with someone who is actively engaged in my questions and can help me spot the common errors I'm making, especially with LR. My time zone is EST.
Thank you so much!
Please only comment if you're not charging more than $50 per session as that's all I can afford. Thank you!
I work a full-time government job, so I find it a bit difficult sometimes to make sure I’m studying efficiently, focusing on the right things, and actually targeting my weaknesses. I also have ADHD, so I find that overthinking and anxiety can sometimes make things more difficult for me.
I think it would be really helpful to work with someone who can identify my weaknesses and help me figure out how to improve them. I’ve been able to make progress with LR, but I still really struggle with RC. I’ve gotten to the point where I feel pretty comfortable doing LR under timed conditions, but when I do RC with a timer, I feel like I suddenly don’t know what I’m reading or what I’m doing.
If you think you could help, please DM me with your rates and availability. Thank you so much!
Hi! I'm looking for a tutor who can meet as needed to go over specific questions. When I get questions wrong, I usually vacillate between two answer choices and ended up selecting the incorrect one because of a "problem" I see with the right one. Or, I will select the correct answer only to change it to the wrong one during blind review because I have time to obsess over details. When I go to put certain questions in my wrong answer journal, I realize I still can't fully articulate why the wrong answer was wrong or why the right answer was right, even after reviewing the explanation videos. I'm looking for someone who is able to explain why answer choices are wrong/right in a few ways (differently from the 7Sage tutors) and then answer my follow up questions until it's crystal clear for me. Ideally, I'd pay hourly for sessions as needed rather than having a consistent schedule. Let me know if this sounds like your specialty and something you're open to! :)
Hey everyone! I'm Andrea. I've been teaching the LSAT for eight years. Have done several thousand sessions and worked with hundreds of students. I've taught big classes and webinars, small groups, and infinite one-on-ones. I've also written LSAT curriculum for a major prep company, where I'm their RC specialist, and dive deep on advanced LR work.
I also do a lot of law school admissions consulting/personal statement help, I worked with the admissions team as an admissions fellow at Harvard Law.
My biggest strength is diagnosis. After thousands of sessions with all different kinds of students, I've seen it all ten times over, so I quickly find the specific knowledge gaps, habits, and weaknesses holding back individual test-takers. I can see what problems you're likely to get wrong/right and why, can see how far you are from where you want to get, so I mix up a custom framework for getting you there and give you the fixes that work for the kind of test taker that you specifically are
I also specialize in strategies for test-taking anxiety. This is such a blocker for people! Lots to offer here.
Message me if you'd like to chat!
I work full time as a litigation paralegal, so I find it difficult to fit high quality studying into my busy schedule. I got my score back for the September LSAT earlier today, and it was disappointing to say the least. I'm realizing that given my goals and schedule, it might be best to look into tutoring.
I feel like I have a fairly decent grasp on patterns that the LSAT writers use, but I still end up pontificating and wasting valuable time during timed sections and drills. When I'm reviewing incorrect answer choices, I can typically see why the answer choice is wrong, but I keep making the same mistakes because I often don't have the language to fully understand HOW I can avoid the mistake on a future question. I really need help with my pacing and coming up with strategies to avoid trap answers under timed conditions.
I would like to spend less than $100 per hour for a tutor, but I'm willing to increase my budget for the right fit. I'm currently PTing in the high 150s and low 160s, but would really like to break into the 170s.
I just got my second 160 score for the September LSAT despite managing to recently achieve a 172 on the most recent PrepTest before it.
I am missing some core fundamentals on conditional reasoning, plus the test day conditions were not in my favor. I am looking for a tutor who can help me go through my fundamentals before my third attempt during the November LSAT. I would like to go through a diagnostic session to see if we are a good fit before paying for weekly sessions. Price range $70-100! Thanks so much for considering!!
I know the October LSAT is right around the corner, but I just got my September score and I'm feeling pretty discouraged. I scored 8 points below my PT average, and only one point above my first attempt in February, when I barely studied. Over the past two months, I've been studying full time.
I think something is going wrong with my strategy on test day, most likely timing. I have time accommodations, and I tend to overthink questions. My weak areas are causal reasoning and necessary assumption questions in LR.
I'd love to book a session before October 9 to work on strategy and spot any weaknesses I can't see on my own. I'm based in Brazil (UTC-3) and flexible this week.
If you think you could help, please DM me with your rates and availability. Thank you so much!
Looking for a few tutoring sessions to see if someone can help me correct my weaknesses/unlock what I need to bump up my score. I scored a 150 earlier this year, took a break since I was on a few waitlists, started studying again 6 weeks ago and have since taken PTs that were 150 and 151. Best score on a practice LR section was -5, but I average around -10. Best score on practice RC was -7, but I average around -10.
I'm not shooting for the stars here as a nontraditional student with a great resume, professional writing experience, master's degree, etc. I would be happy to get a 155-160 for the schools I'm looking at, but it seems like the constant drilling isn't doing much.
(My accommodations are time & a half.)
Tagged areas of weakness by 7Sage:
LR:
conditional reasoning
link assumption
flaw or descriptive weakening
quantifier
RC:
critique or debate
problem-analysis
I don't have thousands to spend. I work 2 jobs + pet sit. Willing to spend up to $400 in the month of October.
Any takers?
Hello! I am looking for a tutor, I am scoring at 147 and looking to go into the 160s. I am hoping to take the November LSAT but willing to push it back to January.
Hi! I scored a 164 on the August LSAT, and my practice sections have ranged from 162 to 170. I am signed up for the November LSAT, and I'm hoping to score 170+. I'm looking for a tutor who can help me out with that.
Hello! I'm currently scoring around the mid 150s on my practice test and would love to get to around mid 160s for the Nov test. Would love to connect with some to see how I can approve during that timeframe. Thanks!
I'm looking to meet with a tutor about once a week (virtually, evenings or weekends PT) before the November 2026 LSAT, (~6 sessions). My last score was a 162 and my goal is to break into the 170s. Focus would be on LR but I mainly need help staying on track with my plan outside of my 9–5. If you are an available tutor please let me know your availability and your rate. Thank you!
I took the April + August LSATs but my highest was a 155 in August. RC was hella tough which led to the lower score I believe. I'm looking for a tutor that charges at or below $40/hour as that's all I can afford at the moment. My biggest issues are flaw, weaken/strengthen, conditional reasoning, NA, and phen-hypothesis according to 7Sage's analytics. For RC, I'm a non native speaker but I got my average from a -14 to around -7. However it looks like my RC isn't too solid either because a science passage in August singlehandedly ruined my score.
Also, I'm currently scheduled both for October + November and I plan on taking both.
Thanks!
Hi! Looking for tutoring to master Flaw questions and a few others to help me break out of the 155 jail, as I would like to apply this cycle! My test date are oct and nov and I can only meet once/twice a week. If anyone thinks they can help that would be great!
Hi everyone! I’m looking for someone who can help me with structuring and developing my law school personal statement, as well as providing honest feedback and advice.
I have a draft and a general direction, but I’d love some guidance from someone experienced with law school admissions.
If you have any recommendations for someone you’ve worked with, please let me know! Ideally looking for something reasonably priced.
Thank you!
Hi everyone! My name is Nicolas and I'm here to help you reach your LSAT goals. I scored a perfect 180 on the August 2026 LSAT (screenshot below), and my initial diagnostic score was a 158. I take on students at a rate of $50/hour.
What you get by tutoring with me:
180 Approach: I want to help you reproduce the skills and study strategies that helped me get to a 180, including a study plan built for you, a study guide, and a specific wrong answer journal template. My approach is not about tricks or any particular curriculum- I aim to reproduce in you the methods that work for me and for every high scorer.
In-Depth Sessions: During sessions, my students walk me through their reasoning on specific question types; through this process you practice your own LSAT logic and receive detailed feedback on aspects of your approach needing improvement. I focus on question types that tend to give you trouble, deriving insights that can be applied to similar problems to improve accuracy.
Affordable Coaching: I work for a major test prep company as a private tutor, so you receive the same premium service minus the exorbitant fee.
Who this is for:
Students currently stuck in the 140, 150s, or 160s looking to break into the 170s.
Students plateauing and unsatisfied with their prep test results.
Beginners who want to build excellent LSAT strategies from the beginning.
About me: I am a Cornell senior, veteran debater, and coffee fiend with passions for Middle Eastern history and literature.
If you are interested, please comment below or DM me for a free consultation! I look forward to working together.
Hi! I’m looking for an LSAT tutor, preferably in the Seattle area for in-person sessions. I’m currently scoring around a 148 and have been struggling to consistently break into the 150s.
I have ADHD, so I’m especially interested in someone who has experience working with students with ADHD, particularly with comprehension, processing speed, and timing.
I’m planning to apply to law school next cycle and would like to start working with someone consistently. Please let me know if you think we might be a good fit. Thanks!
Hey y'all! My name's Rishabh and I am an independent LSAT tutor taking on new clients for the November, January, and February test dates, or beyond. (If you're already deep into prep and just want a tune-up before October, feel free to reach out, but for anyone starting fresh, November onward is a realistic window.)
My story: My first LSAT score was a 159, and my second actually dropped to 157. I spent a long stretch stuck in the 160s after that, so I know firsthand how discouraging a plateau can feel. It took 5 attempts before I hit my final score of 172 in April, but I got there because I know it's possible to break through into the 170s comfortably with the right approach and enough time. I worked through 5,000+ practice questions and personally reviewed over 1,000 missed answers to pinpoint my weaknesses and make sure I wouldn't get the same question wrong twice, and I will bring this mentality and attention to detail to our sessions.
My approach: Sessions are methodical, patient, and (I promise) actually fun. I build a plan around where you specifically get stuck, not a one-size-fits-all curriculum. I broke through into the 170s using 7Sage's curriculum and tools and so I am intimately familiar with them.
Logistics: Sessions run over Google Meets (I'm on the west coast, so PST timezone from 8 AM to 8 PM during the week, more limited hours on the weekends). Sessions are $50/hour. (I am flexible and have a sliding scale available if cost is a barrier, just ask).
Free 30-minute consultation: If you're open, before committing to anything, let's talk through where you're at, what you're aiming for, and how I'd approach working with you. Book here: https://calendly.com/rishabh-raj-mail-2002/30min
DM me if you have any questions and/or are interested in working together!
Hey all, i have been scoring high 150s and 160 and reading comprehension has been my plateau. My logical reasoning are at -3 and my reading comp at -10 timed or untimed, and I’ve been trying everything and I can’t figure it out. I’m planning on taking October if you can help please let me know. I really wanna break out of this and it seems my comprehension is good for logical reason so I don’t understand.
I’m not sure if 1-1 tutoring is right for me but I’m definitely willing to try.
I’m finishing up my undergrad a bit early and taking a year off to study for the LSAT. I did a very small amount of lowkey studying in 2024 and 2025, then started to get more serious in late 2025 and 2026. My (untimed) diagnostic was a 152. I then, without any real studying, took another and got a 158 and then a 160, which motivated me to study more. However, since then, I have never gotten past a 163.
That being said, I have not dedicated enough time to it as I think it deserves. I could barely give it 30 mins of meaningful study every other day while in school. I started to get extremely discouraged. Since May/June I’ve been on a study break while working full time over summer. I start school again next week. However, it’s my last quarter and it should be relatively chill. I think I’m ready to study again. I really would like to apply next cycle, so I think that means I should start studying now, aiming to be DONE with the LSAT by next June. I’d like to speak with a tutor and see if this is realistic. Some recent data: my last (merged) test was a 161; a few of the most recent LR: sections 18/25, 21/26, 19/25, 17/26; a few of the most recent RC: 19/26, 15/27, 17/26, 20/26. For those I used the LSAT Demon method (aka only answer the questions you have time for, so for most of those, I answered either the amount I got right or a few questions more than that, so I range getting between 1 and 5 wrong for the amount that I answer).
I’m a first generation law student. I’m not too worried about money since the LSAT is so important.
I have been stuck in the 157-160 range for a bit now. However, my BR for these tests are high. Most recently 160 timed, 176 BR.
I know this is a timing issue, I was wondering if any tutors could do a session with me reviewing this test and discuss timing strategies to close this score gap. I am registered for October and am hoping for a 165 (I have a 161 official from Jan 2026.) Thank you in advance for your time!
