I posted this on the 7Sage subreddit and am posting it here as well.

I am at a point with this exam where I just do not know what I am doing wrong. I have a PrepTest average of 174, have taken PT123+, and have extensively drilled the rest. I thought I had learned from my mistakes and had gotten much better after June. I isolated everything that went wrong, worked on it, drilled extensively, and performed my best ever on PrepTests (consistent high 170s, though some were not completely fresh).

And then I got a statistically indistinguishable score on the real thing in August (168 on the June exam, 169 on the August one).

I am starting to wonder whether I have just hit some sort of cap on what I can achieve.

As a result, I drilled tons and tons of 4* and 5* LR questions, requiring myself to get 25 correct in a row.

What other mountains are left to climb? Or should I just not apply this cycle?

The only thing I can think of is trying to rigorously train the process of elimination on LR, but I can't think of a way to drill it that doesn't just end up with me doing questions the way I normally do.

Update for 7Sage:

I've been going through the older questions and finding that older LR actually helps me with my process of elimination because I have to make a lot of tough calls down to two choices in a way I usually don't in the newer ones. However, the current test still feels like there are "two trap answers" instead of one, and I thought it might be my nerves, but I tried to feel a lot calmer in August, even though I was a bit tired. I basically feel like I know this test too well to walk away with a score like 169 when I think very deeply about its mechanics, found a lot of it intuitive to grasp, and obviously have done nearly 4,000 questions at this point.

I tried going to tutors on here, but I was pretty much just told that they don't know how to help me because I know the content very well and that I just need to execute better because it's infeasible the actual exam's LR is much harder.

If anyone has a similar background and eventually got out of it and now works as a tutor, please let me know. Specifically, someone who felt like they knew the test ridiculously well but for some reason could not hit their PT average.

Hi! I started at a 155 diagnostic, self-studied my way to an official 166, and then worked my way to an official 177. My LR was consistently -1 to -3 by the 166 test, but RC could swing anywhere down to -7 depending on the day. I told myself for a while it was just an off section, bad luck, whatever. It wasn't. I was avoiding it because it was the section I was worst at, which meant I wasn't putting in the reps that would have actually fixed it. And that avoidance makes sense. LR is more fun to sit down and do. RC is slower, drier, and less satisfying question to question, even when you're doing everything right. Neither section is a blast, but RC loses the fun contest every time, and that's exactly why people under-practice it.

Once I stopped letting my LR strength cover for my RC weakness and started treating RC like the section that actually needed the work, my score went from 166 to 177. Getting from the 160s into the mid-to-high 170s is where a lot of people stall out. It's where I struggled the most too. That's the part I want to help other students with: figuring out where they're actually losing points, being honest about the sections they're avoiding, and turning those weaknesses into something predictable and manageable.

This isn't just for people already in the 160s, though. If you're just starting out, or you're still in the 140s or 150s and the test feels like a foreign language, that's fine too. A lot of the habits that get someone from 166 to 177 are the same habits that should be built from day one, so you don't spend your first year of studying picking up things you'll have to unlearn later.

Two things I'll drill into every student, whatever your level:

• Blind review and wrong answer journal everything you miss. If it's a single section, do it that day or the next. If it's a full PT, wait until the next day so you're not just running on adrenaline and you don't exhaust yourself that day.

• Learn what to do when you're down to two answer choices. Everyone goes through this. You've read the stimulus or passage, read the question, eliminated three, and you're staring at two that both feel defensible. This is where people burn way too much time and sometimes still end up guessing wrong, and then run out of time on the questions after it. What I recommend is to read both one more time, figure out which one is more wrong, pick the other, and move on. The LSAT itself tells you this is going to happen; the instructions say: "For some questions, more than one of the choices could conceivably answer the question. However, you are to choose the best answer; that is, choose the response that most accurately and completely answers the question." Tutoring won't make this scenario disappear completely, but it should make it rare, and it should make you fast when it does happen.

My actual goal is to get the test to feel second nature, no matter where you're starting from. Not just accurate, but familiar, to the point where you can feel how a section is going while you're still in it. You should know you're having a good LR section as you're going through it, not find out three weeks later when the score comes back.

Sessions are meant to be a conversation, not a lecture. I want to work through problems with you, figure out where the actual gaps are, and build a plan from there. I don't want to just talk at you for an hour. I also genuinely believe this test is learnable. A lot of people feel like they've hit a ceiling, like their score is just who they are at this point. I don't buy that, and I want to convince you of it too.

I'm charging $40/hour right now. Comment below or message me and I'll set up a free intro call.

I'm looking for someone who can Help tutor me one on one and not charge crazy prices. I took the August LSAT and I'm scheduled for another retake in a few more months.

Looking for a tutor in Canada, ideally in Alberta. But, anywhere is fine.

Hi everyone! I'm looking for a tutor for the January 2027 test, I just started a few months ago, but I am really struggling to improve. I am looking for someone who can help me grasp the techniques and improve fast ( I would like also a strict tutor!!!!) I am in Korea, so I would need a tutor who can accommodate that. I need help with both LR and RC, but I want to focus more on LR at the moment. I would like to meet via zoom before starting an actual class to hear about the study plans that you may have for me! Please reach out if you think we could work together!

I am looking for a tutor to help me prepare for the LSAT exam in November or January depending on when I feel ready. I am struggling with where to start and how to progress.

Hi! I am hoping to find a tutor with affordable prices for LSAT tutoring sessions. I am aiming to take the test in January with a goal score of 165 if possible (of course higher) i struggle with Necessary Asumption, Flaws, and Paradox

Hi! I'm looking for a tutor to help me get prepared for the October test. I took the August test and got a 163. Before that, my practice tests were closer to 165 with my best test being 168. I'm hoping to hone in on RC and timing issues and get closer to a 168 in October.

Hi everyone! I'm looking for a tutor for the November test, I'm currently scoring around the 163 to 165 range, and I want to break into the 170s in time for November. I'm going to be going to grad school in London, so I would need a tutor who can accommodate that. I mostly need help with my LR, and I think most of my foundational concepts are pretty strong, I'm just trying to improve under official timing conditions and break through my plateau. Please reach out if you think we would be a good fit!

Hello! I am looking for a tutor that can meet starting this week. I took the August LSAT and scored a 155 which is about 5 points below my average while taking practice tests. I am registered for the October LSAT and really hoping to get into the high 160's. I struggle with finishing sections and scoring consistently. For reading comprehension, I am usually only able to complete three passages and for logical reasoning tend to not be able to answer 3-4 questions. I realize that when I answer individual timed sections, I tend to do well, but I struggle with translating that into a practice exam.

I would like to meet with someone who can not just provide explanations for wrong answers but help me identify patterns in the mistakes I am making that are leading to incorrect answers and work on foundational concepts with me. I would also like to have someone who can help me develop a study plan.

For some background, I am working full-time as a paralegal. I am in the EDT time zone, so I am hoping I can meet with someone after 5:30 p.m. My range is about $30–$55 per hour for a tutor. Please let me know if you are available. Thanks!

Hello tutors. I am looking for a tutor who believes they are particularly good at Causal Reasoning. In my last practice test(156), of the 11 questions I got wrong between the two LRs, 7 of them were Causal Reasoning questions(S2. Q6,Q14,Q16,Q20,Q22,Q24 | S4.Q18), I think by locking this question type down I have a genuine shot of breaking into the 170s.

Actually, adding this part in after I wrote the first iteration of this post but for S2 of PT156, 6/7 questions I got wrong were Causal Reasoning. And for PT155, of the 8 questions I got wrong between the 2 LRs sections, 3 of them were Causal Reasoning.

I am looking to have 2 sessions between now and September 10th.

My price range tops off at $65/hr but I really prefer to pay around $40/hr.

DM me if interested!

Hi everyone!

Quick tip for anyone balancing LSAT prep with work or school: don't measure a productive study day by how many hours you studied or questions you completed. Give each study session a specific purpose, and leave enough time to review what you did thoroughly. Thirty focused minutes with good review can be much more valuable than several hours of drilling just to hit a volume goal.

As most of my current students finish their testing cycles, I'm opening additional availability for others preparing for the fall and winter administrations.

About me: I scored an official 180 on the LSAT while working full-time, so I understand the challenge of preparing seriously for this test around a demanding work schedule. Since then, I have tutored the LSAT full-time and worked with students across a wide range of scores, from students still building their foundations to those trying to break into the high 160s and 170s or make 170+ performance more consistent.

How I approach tutoring:

I don't think tutoring should just consist of someone explaining questions after you miss them. Most students can understand an explanation once they hear it. The harder part is learning how to recognize the issue yourself before choosing an answer.

During sessions, I want to hear how you reason through the question first: what you noticed, what you predicted, where you hesitated, and why certain answers remained attractive. From there, I'll walk you through my own reasoning so we can compare the two and identify exactly where your process is breaking down.

For Logical Reasoning, I focus heavily on argument structure, prediction, flaw recognition, and understanding why tempting wrong answers fail. The goal is not just to understand why the credited answer works after seeing an explanation, but to become increasingly capable of recognizing the reasoning yourself.

For Reading Comprehension, I focus on passage structure, viewpoints, author attitude, and knowing where information lives in the passage. Memorizing every detail is unnecessary. It's far more important to understand how the passage is organized so that you know what matters and where to return for textual support.

Personalized study plans

For private students, I also use your recent PTs, drilling analytics, Blind Review, review habits, wrong-answer journal, and what I observe during our sessions to build a study plan around the patterns actually costing you points.

The study plan is not something I give you once and expect you to follow unchanged until test day.

As your performance changes, the plan changes with it.

If something that was previously a weakness becomes reliable, we can reduce the time you spend there. If your next few PTs reveal a different recurring issue, that can become the next priority. What you're studying several weeks from now shouldn't necessarily still be determined by what your analytics showed today.

Tutoring may be particularly useful if you:

• understand explanations afterward but keep making similar mistakes

• frequently get stuck between two answer choices

• have a meaningful timed vs. Blind Review gap

• struggle with timing, second-guessing, or confidence

• feel inconsistent across practice tests and aren't sure why

• aren't sure what you should actually be prioritizing each week

Ways to work with me:

Private Tutoring (1:1)

Individual sessions built around your reasoning process, recent PTs, analytics, and current areas for improvement. What happens between sessions helps guide what we work on next, rather than treating each tutoring session as an isolated lesson.

Study Buddy Prep

A two-person tutoring option for students who already have a friend or fellow LSAT studier with similar goals and would like an alternative to private tutoring.

You each work through questions independently before we compare reasoning, which gives you the benefit of individualized feedback while also hearing how another student approached the same problem.

Weekly Group Classes

Small, interactive classes capped at 10 students. Each week focuses on a specific LSAT concept, question type, or strategy, with the topic announced in advance so you can choose the classes most relevant to you.

For each question, everyone first answers through an anonymous poll, so you're able to participate without publicly sharing your answer. Speaking is never required.

Students who want to can then explain their reasoning before I break down the question, share my own approach, and go through the structure, prediction, credited answer, and most tempting wrong-answer choices.

Classes currently meet:

• Thursdays at 6:00 p.m. ET

• Sundays at 3:00 p.m. ET

Thursday and Sunday generally cover the same weekly topic, so students can attend whichever works better or come to both for additional practice.

View upcoming group classes

Law School Application Support:

I also work with students once they transition from the LSAT into the application process. This can include personal statements, supplemental essays, résumé review, school-list and application strategy, LOCIs, and reviewing application materials as a whole.

Application support is offered à la carte, so you can get help with a particular part of your application or continue working with me throughout the process as needed.

Not sure whether tutoring makes sense for you?

I also offer a free 15-minute consultation.

We can talk through your current score range, goal score, testing timeline, recent PT performance, study history, and what has been giving you trouble. I'll also explain how I would approach your preparation and what I would likely prioritize if we worked together.

You can book a free consultation, comment here, or message me with any questions.

My accolades are above, but here's a few more: students of mine have gone on to break into the 170's, and have been accepted to Colombia, The University of Chicago, Stanford, and Harvard.

I was where you are now: I had a test to crush and a gulf between my skills and achieving that T-14 goal score. Well, I did what any person would do who didn't know what they were doing; I went searching for advice from people who had already achieved success. I read for hours and hours, the accounts of people who had received perfect and near perfect scores. Their advice had a very few common threads:

-Find a major prep company and completely work through all of their strategy lessons and drills

-Take many sections and tests both in untimed and timed formats

-Blind review all timed tests (taking them again entirely without a timer)

-Carefully dissect all incorrectly answered questions

At the time, the LSAT was still on paper and so explanations for LSAT questions were scarce. This was to my benefit and it can be to yours as well. That means relying on the explanations of 7Sage should only be done after you've exhausted considerable effort trying to dissect the questions yourself, given the correct answer. If 7Sage's explanation doesn't make sense or you are curious to hear a question explained in a different way, well that's what a tutor is for! I'll add just one bit advice to that which I found in my research: learn and understand any vocab word related to argumentation that the LSAT uses, which you are unfamiliar with.

If you'd like a tutor to help you through the rough patches and plateaus, I'm eager to join you where you're at on your LSAT journey. I use an "I do, we do, you do" approach to new materials. I'll model the appropriate techniques, whether that means stem analysis, argument analysis, passage annotation, answer prediction, answer choice selection, or trap answer analysis. From there I'll check to see if you've got the basics and ask you to take the next step at various points. Then it will be your job to walk us through an example. Finally, I'll only observe as you begin a new example and work through it beginning to end, giving my analysis or commentary at the end.

Sessions are typically two hours, once or twice a week depending on availability and the student's timeline. We'll often spend the first third/half of the session reviewing any questions that have been flagged for review by you. From there we'll jump into new materials.

My hourly rate changes based on whether you buy a package of hours or seek to pay session by session. It is as follows:

20 hour package - $70/hr

10 hour package - $80/hr

Session by session - $90h

Hello! My name is Greg, and I specialize in personalized LSAT tutoring tailored to each student’s unique needs and learning style. Since 2020, I’ve helped multiple students achieve perfect 180 scores and guided dozens more into the 170s through an adaptable, supportive, and results-driven approach. Admitted to the bar in 2025, I also provide guidance beyond the LSAT, including law school admissions strategy, school selection, and application navigation.

Outside of tutoring and law, I enjoy hiking, biking, skiing, and playing chess. I believe balance is an important part of success, and I encourage students to build sustainable study habits alongside their academic goals.

I just recently took the August test for the first time. I am looking for someone to tutor me for the upcoming October test.

I would like to meet at least twice a week if possible.

My target score goal is: 160-170

Please send any information my way or links for consultations and prices.

Hi there,

My name is Carl, and I've been tutoring the LSAT since the early 2000s, online and in person. These days I mostly work online over Zoom.

I would never tell someone that it's impossible to self-study for the test or that a tutor is absolutely required, by any means. I would say, however, that having the right guidance at the right moment in your studies can both save you a lot of frustration and streamline the process of improving your score. I can guide you from the beginning of your studies or step in as a troubleshooter when you hit a sticking point. I can take a look at the work you've done recently and try to diagnose what's holding you back and provide you with a recommendation of the best next steps to take in the short term and in the long term.

Two people scoring in the 170s might tackle the test in completely different ways. My job as a tutor is not to turn you into a carbon copy of me, but to help you find the combination of techniques and methods that will get you the score you want. Sure, there are certainly some required skills on the test--some questions are impossible, for example, if you don't know what a contrapositive is. But there's also a lot of leeway. There's no one-size-fits-all approach, and I tailor my lessons to you and your needs.

I specialize in helping people move the needle who've been stuck on a plateau for a long time. I offer a free one-hour evaluation session to all potential clients, an hour for us to meet, discuss your troubles, have me demonstrate my tutoring style, and have you ask any questions you have. So, please, reach out if you'd like to schedule an evaluation with me to see if I can help you.

The easiest way to reach out is to use the scheduler at my website: https://www.ivorytowertutoring.com/schedule/ . You can also shoot me a DM here.

Since scores came out today, I'd recommend taking a quick breath before scheduling an evaluation, though. Process that score before booking a dozen different evaluations. Once you're calm and ready to move forward, it'll be easier to decide between all the different options out there.

Hello Everyone!

If you just got your score back and are disappointed, lets make a plan for success. I love to help students learn that the LSAT is a conquerable test! Let’s start with a consult so that we can chart everything out, so I know what your goals are and you know how we can best reach them together! For a bit of background here is what working together typically looks like:

Initial Consult (Getting You Set Up for Success):

Our first session is all about understanding you: your goals, your timeline, and how you learn best. We’ll cover:

• Your background and any prior LSAT prep

• Your strengths (e.g., Logical Reasoning vs. Reading Comprehension)

• Your target score and law school goals

• What you’ve tried so far and what has/hasn’t worked

From there, I’ll build a customized study plan tailored to you. Our typical ongoing session structure:

• Strategic Review – We review recent practice, track progress, and break down missed questions in detail.

• Targeted Lesson – Focused instruction based on your needs (e.g., flaw questions, strengthen/weaken, RC main point, timing strategy).

• Drill & Practice – Apply concepts immediately with guided drills and live problem-solving.

• Recap & Homework – Clear takeaways and a structured plan for what to work on before our next session.

My goal is not just to improve your score, but to help you develop a repeatable system for approaching every question with confidence. I like to be very hands on and supportive throughout your studying to both make sure you are learning to the best of your ability and that you have a good accountability partner! You will leave each class knowing what to do in our time apart!

Reach out via chat or post a comment and Ill reach out to you- lets get started this week on mastering the LSAT together!

Best,

John

Hi, I'm Nick! I work primarily with students who feel stuck despite doing a lot of practice and who need a clearer system for understanding why they’re missing questions.

I went from 158 --> 178 in 4 months by learning how to diagnose my mistakes and change how I approached the test. I now work with students using that same approach, focusing on underlying reasoning issues that lead to fast, durable score improvements. I’m a good fit for students who want structured feedback and are willing to think carefully about their mistakes—not just do more questions.

You can find more about my tutoring philosophy, scheduling, and availability on my website. Happy to answer any questions!

I took the August LSAT and got a 146 from my original diagnostics being a 132. My goal score is around a 155 and plan on taking again in October. If anyone is available for tutoring please DM me or comment below.

Hi everyone! I've been looking through some posts and see tutoring sessions for the LSAT but I am more interested in having someone with experience in what admissions want to read over my personal statement and a couple "Why X School" essays for my top schools. I also need an affordable hourly rate plz, I work full time and pay for everything on my own and this whole process is already so expensive haha. Does anyone on here do this or able to point me to someone that does?

Hi guys! I’m currently in the process of writing my personal statements and am looking into affordable options for getting feedback on my essays and overall applications.

I’ve seen some positive discussions about Anderson Admissions, and the two most affordable options that caught my attention were the personal statement grading session and the 72-hour personal statement review but I noticed that the 72-hour review uses AI technology, so I’m curious if anyone here has used either service and felt that it was worth the money.

If you’ve had experience with either of these, I’d love to hear your thoughts! I’m also open to recommendations for other affordable and reliable services for getting feedback on personal statements and law school applications. Thank you !

Hi everyone! I got a 142 on the June LSAT and have been studying since then, but I’m still not very confident in understanding why I’m getting certain questions wrong or how to properly review my mistakes.

I’m planning to take the LSAT again in October and November and was wondering if anyone has recommendations for a good tutor who can help me actually understand where I’m going wrong and improve from there.

I also work full-time from 8–5, so I would need someone who can meet either early in the morning or later in the evening.

If anyone has had a good experience with an LSAT tutor who can accommodate that schedule, I’d really appreciate any recommendations! Thank you!

Hi - I am looking to hire someone with significant experience to help me with my personal statement (and potentially general app consulting as well).

Please comment if you know of someone really good or if you are a consultant yourself!

Many thanks

I’m looking for a tutor who can help me improve my official score of 161 (June 2026) to 16high by the October exam.

My most recent PT was a 163/170. Several of the incorrect questions came from misreads, rather than gaps in fundamental concepts. So I think there is a good chance for improvement.

A couple of must-haves for the tutor:

1. The tutor should be willing to present his or her official LSAC score report on our first virtual meeting

2. The tutor should have a trustworthy, reliable history of drill & PT scores on their 7sage profile. If there is no drill & PT scores on your 7sage profile, we cannot prove your study history

3. Each class should consist of doing 1-2 problems together, and doing deep-dive analysis by comparing/contrasting how each of us approached the question

4. The tutor should be open to email communication throughout the week

Lastly, if the student presented good potential to improve and that feels like it’s going to hamper your chances of admission, and you start to become passive-aggressive or start giving ineffective advice, please reconsider being on this platform.

I know that this is an onerous requirement, so my budget is $40-70, negotiable based on the length and provable effectiveness of teaching. I don’t think the fact that you currently attend a T14 is a reasonable foundation to ask for $100+. If we can strike a good deal, I can do multiple times during the week.

I am in KST zone, so I will try my best to accommodate both EST/PST.

Please shoot me a message if you are willing to schedule our first lesson!
