Can someone please help me. I’ve been studying for 3-4 months and haven’t seen any improvement in my scores or progress. I’m about to give up and just eat the $250 I spent on registering for the test. I feel hopeless.

Hi, I'm Theo. I scored a 176 on the official LSAT, and my highest practice test score was a 180. I've reviewed thousands of LSAT problems and would be happy to share my expertise with future test-takers. Sort the comments on this post by 'most votes' to see student reviews. I can also do in-person tutoring if you live in New York City.

Here are my tips for improving on the LSAT:

1. Configure your 7Sage preferences so that on blind review, it only recommends the questions you got wrong, skipped, or guessed on. 

2. Do the blind review after each drill, section, and practice test. It doesn't have to be immediately after, but I do not recommend skipping past it.

3. If you’re not sure how to approach a Logical Reasoning question and there are premises and a conclusion in the stimulus, try highlighting them using the highlighter tools. Use one color for the conclusion, and the same second color for all of the premises. When you review the questions after you’ve submitted them, you can click ‘Show Analysis’ to compare your highlights to what the 7Sage tutors think the premises and conclusion are. Ideally, your highlights should match theirs exactly. If there are words or phrases that they have left out of their highlights, you should have left them out too. 

4. If a sentence within the stimulus contains the word “should” or a synonym of it, that sentence is very often the conclusion. 

5. If a sentence within the stimulus states that a group of people are all incorrect about something, that sentence is very often the conclusion. 

6. For Weaken questions, try negating the stimulus's conclusion, then make up an additional fact that would make the resulting negation true. This fact will often be the correct answer choice for the question.

7. For the Identify the Conclusion questions, if the stimulus contains a phrase along the lines of “Some people believe dragons are real. However, these people are incorrect”, the correct answer choice will be something like “Dragons are not real”.

8. For many Most Strongly Supported questions, sometimes you can predict the right answer choice by asking yourself the following: “If the stimulus were a story, what would the moral be?”

9. For Sufficient Assumption questions in which there is only one premise and one conclusion, you can predict the correct answer by saying: “If [insert the premise here], then [insert the conclusion here]”. The resulting sentence will often bear some resemblance to the correct answer choice. 

Please reach out if you need help! DM me or leave a comment, and I'll respond very soon. You can also email me at theodorestrongin@gmail.com

I look forward to meeting with you!

Hi everyone,

CURRENTLY AT CAPACITY!! Already had some people reach out, I will edit this if I can handle any more.

I am PTing in the 170s with my official February score being 168. I am looking to help tutor someone PTing in the 150s for free leading up to the April exam, to boost my understanding as well as yours, as suggested by J.Y. here: https://7sage.com/discussion/56833/looking-for-tutor-to-push-from-high-160s-to-170s

We could walk through practice tests or drill sets and discuss wrong answers and thought process. I am available evenings and weekends. If this sounds like you, please leave a comment or a message!

I just received my official score for February’s exam, 168. I am consistently PTing in the low 170s with my highest PT at 176. Looking for a tutor who can help with RC, and give me that final boost with LR.

I am around -1/-3 in LR, and -4/-6 in RC, struggling mainly with dense 4 to 5 star passages.

If this sounds like something you can help with, please message me. I would hope to meet 1-2 times a week until the April exam, with best times being week day evenings or any time on weekends.

Hi everyone! :) I’m a first-generation professional student who studied for the LSAT while working full-time abroad, so I understand that every student’s circumstances, strengths, and goals are different. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all prep.

I began at a 150 diagnostic and worked my way to consistent 170+ scores on just about every official practice test [-0/-2 questions per section], and have secured multiple law school acceptances this cycle with large merit scholarships. With a 165 official score, it was a steep learning curve to navigate, but I now know firsthand what deliberate, strategic improvement requires, and I'm excited to help others navigate this journey.

Credentials:

• PTs: Consistent 170+ on just about every official practice test

• Experience: 1+ years of intense exam prep and working with students across score ranges

• Multiple school acceptances with large merit scholarships

My Approach:

• Personalized study plans tailored to your timeline and target score

• Clear, no-nonsense strategies for LR and RC

• Targeted drilling to eliminate weaknesses

• Structured review systems that create repeatable gains

• Holistic performance support: study design, stamina, mindset, and lifestyle habits

Rate: $55/hour

If you're serious about giving this process your all, let's get to work! :)

I scored 175 on the June 2025 LSAT, up from a diagnostic of 159. I have taken on eight tutoring clients since August, intentionally keeping a light load to hone my teaching style.

Now I'm looking for more students. Details:

• $60/hr.

• Meet on Zoom.

• Pay via Zelle or Venmo.

• Weekdays only.

What I offer:

• Analysis of up to three practice tests to identify areas of focus.

• Customized lesson plans targeting your specific weaknesses. (Examples of lessons I've created for students: process of elimination, tactical reading for really dense stimuli, deciding between two answer choices, and lessons for every question type)

• A teaching style focused on students narrating their thought process out loud. My core philosophy is that students learn best when they arrive at the answer on their own, rather than having information spoon-fed to them.

• Email support for one question per week only if you are truly stumped.

About me:

• Later-in-life law school applicant. Accepted to two schools, waiting to hear back from others.

• My favorite LR question is PT135/S4/Q23 (on the relationship between dogs and undomesticated wolves).

• My favorite RC passage is PT128/S1/P4 (Riddled Basins of Attraction).

About you:

• Planning to take the LSAT this year.

• Willing to do the work.

If you're interested in scheduling a free, 30-minute consultation, DM me with the following information: Your PT score range, your goal score, any previous official LSAT scores, any confirmed future LSAT dates, and what you want to get out of tutoring.

Hey Everyone! I have tutored finance/economics for over a year now and am looking to get into tutoring the LSAT. I did a diagnostic and got a 144. This test did not come intuitively to me but I poured the next 3 months into figuring out the exam in an extremely formulaic manner and was PT-ing in the mid 170s, wrote it and got a 173. (Only score).

If you are someone who does not get the exam intuitively and wants to approach it how I did, would love to help! Charging $35/hr!

Hey everyone! I’m Joshua. I started in the 130s and earned an official 173.

I’ve been tutoring for several years, and I’ve taught LSAT classes as well as at the university level. I have a real passion for teaching, and I love helping students get to that moment where the LSAT finally starts to click.

Over the years, I’ve helped students increase their scores by 10 - 30 points.

Hi, I went from a 137 diagnostic to a 180 official score, and now I help others reach their LSAT goals.

Update (July 2026): For anyone wondering, I am still taking on students. After every test, I lose a few students, and I am looking to fill their spots, so please reply below or message me if interested!

I put together an in depth breakdown of what I genuinely think will help you improve. These are what I consider the non negotiables:

1. Start drilling immediately. Do not just do books or beginner classes where they just go over concepts, start doing real problems.

2. Predict answer choices in both LR and RC. A lot of people avoid predicting early on because they are not good at it yet, but long term it is one of the most important skills for real score growth.

3. Do 1 to 2 timed sections per week at least, and review them immediately.

4. Make time for one focused hour a day, and if you can, two hours. No phone, no FaceTiming your significant other, no football on in the background. You need to completely lock in for at least an hour a day.

5. Unless you are already scoring in the 170s, stop taking weekly full PTs. I did weekly PTs for months while I was scoring in the 150s and 160s, but the reality is it often becomes chasing a score rather than improving. You will get far more benefit from two timed sections with immediate review rather than a PT.

6. Use as many official attempts as you need. I scored 169, then 169 again, and then a 180. Do not cut yourself short. Keep taking the official test until you get a score that matches your PT range.

7. If you are in undergrad, prioritize your GPA. I have friends who studied like crazy for the LSAT, scored 170+, and then tanked their GPA in the process. Law schools care about both. You can retake the LSAT, but you cannot fix your GPA once it is damaged.

8. Slow down. If you are consistently finishing sections but not scoring in the 170s, you are missing easy points throughout the section. On my 180, I basically guessed on the last question in one section, but I made sure I was extremely confident on every question I attempted. Yes, sometimes you need to cut your losses, but do not go into questions expecting to do that.

9. Stop obsessing over accommodations. It seems like everyone gets them these days, but I did not. That said, if you qualify and have documentation, apply. A lot of people with ADHD or other legitimate issues feel guilty applying and do not. If you qualify, you should apply.

10. Stop making excuses. As a tutor, I constantly hear people say “I’m so busy” or “I had a long week.” I am not discounting what you are going through, but everybody has something. You are competing against other people who are also busy and also dealing with life. If you cannot lock in, you are wasting time.

Some side tips:

• Every wrong answer involves at least two mistakes: you chose the wrong answer, and you failed to choose the right answer. Diagnose both issues every time.

• Blind review only the questions you got wrong, not the entire section. The new 7Sage formatting makes this much easier than the old version.

• If you are just beginning do not read the question stem first, read the stimulus first. If you have been studying for a long time then it may be hard to switch from question stem to stimulus.

• Treat every LR stimulus like it was written by a politician you absolutely hate. Pick apart their argument. Most of the time it is a bad argument. If you are reading LR stimuli and thinking “that makes sense” more than 1 out of every 10 times, you probably are not being critical enough.

• Do not schedule the LSAT until you are ready. Do not put unnecessary pressure on yourself. Wait until your PTs are in the range you want, then sign up.

• Do not worry about “using up” problems. There are thousands of questions, and even if you go through all of them, you will forget most of what you did.

• Do not only drill hard problems. If you are starting out, easier problems are often better for long term improvement because they build fundamentals.

• Do not over study. Treat it like working out. If you were training for a marathon, you would not run 20 miles every day. Aim for 1 to 3 quality hours a day. Anything more than that is often just going through the motions.

• Lock in on RC. A lot of people study LR and barely touch RC because LR is more enjoyable. My recommendation is one RC passage a day. It is not a huge time commitment, and it keeps you consistent. Some days you should do more, but commit to at least one untimed passage daily.

My biggest piece of advice for everyone is this: believe in yourself. You can do this. I went from a 137 to a 180, and I am not some genius. There is a good chance you started off better than I did. If I can do it, anyone can.

This is a skills based test, not an IQ test. Once you truly understand that, the LSAT becomes much easier to improve on.

Now with all that said, I have worked with over 50 students, and a large chunk have broken into the 170s. I offer a very personalized approach to LSAT tutoring. Sessions are super interactive, and the goal is to get you set up so you approach every question with confidence.

Because I run my own company during the week, I have limited spots available at a time. I can work with people on price, but keep in mind that because my time is limited, I will prioritize higher rates if substantially different than another student.

Hi everyone

I'm studying full-time for the LSAT and looking for an experienced but affordable tutor, ideally someone who focuses on time management and reading comprehension performance. Referrals are much appreciated.

Please message me if you know someone great. Thanks in advance!

Hey y'all, I'm Karl. I will be attending law school this year to focus on constitutional law, academia, and entrepreneurship.

I teach in-person LSAT classes at local universities and tutor students one-on-one. My focus is on teaching students to be at ease reading slowly, summarizing as they go, and engaging with the content. I diagnose weak points and give you plans to fix them. You will build good habits for approaching questions, getting "unstuck" when caught in a 50/50, and contextualizing your results to become more effective. The skills you learn will carry over into your law school journey and career as a lawyer.

The LSAT is only one part of the admissions process. I help with essays, C&F statements, addenda, interview preparation, school targeting, and more. I am here to help you get results that will change your life, not just go over questions for an hour. I want you to succeed, and that means being warm and supportive along the way.

Remember, underneath the LSAT's dense language there are simple structures you can learn, but you have to put in the effort. StevenBlauert's post is GREAT. Check it out. It really is that easy.

If you are interested, DM me, leave me a message here, or send me an email at Karl@RedwoodLSAT.com. We will arrange a free consultation!

Package discounts on LSAT tutoring and admissions assistance are available:

10 hours @ $700 ($70/hr)

20 hours @ $1200 ($60/hr)

Hey guys! I’m in need of a tutor. I feel that I need the extra assistance to help get to my goal. Preferably a reasonable price range 😊

ive taken the lsat in oct and again in Jan and I’m just not seeing a proper improvement. I want to work with a tutor to get close to 170 if possible. I do have adhd so someone who understands and can work with that would be really helpful. Ideally id want weekly or even two sessions a week but my budget is super limited as I’m unemployed and my husband cannot afford to pay too much given our household expenses.

Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Hi everyone! My name is Leo, and I am an LSAT tutor. I am taking on new clients remotely and scored a 174 on my LSAT. (happy to provide proof if necessary).

I have mastered LSAT question structures and shortcuts that will help you derive the correct answers. My tutoring approach is highly flexible - and tailored to your needs.

I am offering my tutoring services for $60/hour, but before committing, I am more than glad to set up a FREE consultation session over Zoom to see if we're a good fit and if you like my style of teaching.

If you're interested, please send me a message directly. Looking forward to working with you!

Hey there!

My name is Ryan, and I tutor the LSAT. I’ve worked as teacher for many years and spent a lot of time in the LSAT space recently. One thing has become clear to me is that a lot of capable people are excluded from this process simply because they don’t have access to the right support.

My approach to tutoring is simple. I try to make the test feel less overwhelming by stripping questions down to what actually matters. The LSAT is hard, but a surprising amount of difficulty comes from wording, structure, and traps... not from the underlying logic itself.

I know that no two students are the same so I am offering a free, 3-minute diagnostic consultation to see if we might be a good fit for each other.

Rate: $45-50/hr (depending on frequency)

UPDATE:

I'm so grateful to have received a lot of interest so if it's easier for anyone, I made a booking calendar for a diagnostic consultation. Feel free to book when you have time!

Hi! I am looking for a high scoring tutor that is willing to look at my preptests with me and do a two-hour long session on this coming Saturday (1/17) and Sunday (1/18), and the following Saturday and Sunday. I am willing to pay up to $100/hr. Please respond to this post if interested. Thank you!

I wanted to take a second to give a shout my 7sage tutor: Ariana. Ariana & I met under less than ideal circumstances, and she became a fantastic tutor for me. I personally have ADHD and I think her tutoring style worked really well for someone like me. One of my favorite things about our time together was the lesson plan because Ariana really took the time to tailor it to my needs while also making it doable with my busy schedule. Preparing for the LSAT has been such a stressful process and Ariana did such a good job of teaching me how to cope with that stress and tackle the questions in spite of. Would definitely recommend Ariana for students with or without ADHD!

I am Hunter. I am an LSAT tutor with 5+ years of LSAT tutoring experience. I have helped many clients score in the 170s. I offer customized LSAT tutoring to fit your learning style. Because my tutoring is boutique and results-driven, I limit my active client list to ensure the highest level of personalized care.

I am a 3L at a T14 Law School.

Feel free to message me directly or fill out this form (https://forms.gle/rYe8hFzuALNqLocLA) to set up a free consultation. During the consultation, we will discuss your study plan and ways to improve your score.

Hi all!

I work with 165–175 scorers looking to move from -2 to -6 to -0/-1 on the LR section of the LSAT, and am currently taking up to two students.

Bio

• #1 ranked social sciences student in my year at Yale

• −0 average across last 5 timed LR sections, −1 average across last 15 (official score pending, Jan. administration)

• Background in competitive debate, experience teaching students at all levels

Structure

• No upfront commitment

• 30-minute consultation call to assess fit

• Weekly meetings

• Discounts available for FAFSA students

Tutoring Focus

I specialize in last-mile LR improvement for students hoping to achieve scores in the 170/175+ range. I help with issues that standard prep methods stop addressing once you already understand the logic:

• Timing under uncertainty

• Precise question-type control

• Avoiding attractive wrong answers without over-elimination

Most −2 to −6 scorers miss questions not due to conceptual gaps, but because they:

• Commit too early under time pressure

• Misidentify what the question is actually asking

• Eliminate correct answers for the wrong reason

My sessions are designed to diagnose and fix these failure modes under real test-time conditions, giving you structure and confidence to ace coin-flip questions.

If interested, please fill out the following form: https://forms.gle/EZabFT9qxMF4JJs26. If you have any questions, feel free to comment in thread!

EDIT: Wow, thanks for the strong interest everyone!

Given my limited capacity, I'm going to pause new consultations for now, but feel free to fill out the form if you are interested. I will keep a waitlist and will be in touch if there's a good fit / spots open up.

Hello! I am taking the LSAT in February, and I am also taking the LSAT in April.

I would like to have a tutor to help me study, review practice tests, and provide test tips.

If you are available to tutor me, please let me know asap!

I’ve been tutoring the LSAT for about 5 years and will have a few openings after the January exam. I’m looking to take on a small number of motivated students for the next few months who are seeking sustainable score gains. I am passionate about teaching this test and helping students achieve their goals.

I scored a 180 and studied while working 20+ hours a week and attending a competitive undergrad, so I’m very familiar with balancing LSAT prep with a busy schedule. Because of that, I keep my rates affordable and focus heavily on efficient, structured studying rather than busywork. I spend a lot of my personal time outside of sessions helping my students, answering questions. This test opened many doors for me so I value its importance and being able to push my students properly toward their goals and hold them accountable during the week with the work I assign.

Rates (new students):

Free 20-minute strategy session

• $75/hr single session

• 5 hours – $350 ($70/hr)

• 10 hours – $650 ($65/hr)

• 15 hours – $900 ($60/hr)

• 20 hours – $1000 ($50/hr)

My approach is hands-on: we review PTs together, break down hard question types, clean up bad habits, and I give feedback/check-ins during the week so progress continues between sessions.

If you’re aiming for more consistency, higher scores, or want structured guidance heading into spring tests, feel free to reach out, very happy to chat or help.
