First of all thank you so much for adding the new LawHub interface!!

I understand it is in Beta but a pause button is going to be added soon right?

wish you all luck on your June exam

I got a 168 on my first LSAT attempt (right in the range I had been PTing in, my highest ever PT was 171), and I have a 3.99 GPA with a double major.

I am a first generation college student. I have no attorneys in my family, and I've been doing social work in my rural hometown since I graduated college. My goal is nonprofit/public service work as an attorney, so I'm not planning on making a lot of money. I can't afford to take out a lot of loans for law school .

My absolute dream school is WashU in St. Louis. I'm from this area. I have professional ties there and family there. It keeps me close to home and to the communities I'm currently serving as a forensic interviewer.

Assuming I would even be admitted with these stats, I could never even dream of attending without a massive scholarship. Do I need to just give up on the idea of WashU with these stats? I am signed up to take the June LSAT, but there is no chance I am getting at or above their 175(!!!!!) median in a month.

I first entered the 150s in late March. Then, almost a week later, I got a 153. Then another 153. Now a 154. I took section 1 of PT 127 and got a Preptest equivalent of a 154. I just want to enter the 160s. I've started focusing on on flaw reasoning and reconcile questions. Now I'm focusing on weakening and strengthening, the latter I'm struggling with, but I'm starting to let go of my mindset that the answer has to explicitly prove the conclusion, and I feel like I'm performing better. I just don't understand why I'm not improving. In this section, I took the advice of people here, focusing on accuracy over quantity. So I spent more time than I would have pressed for time. I had more answers left unanswered compared to other PTs ( really, 3 more), but I got 17 correct out of the 19 intentionally chosen. (22 with blind review). The rest I guessed on without looking at the questions due to lack of time and got none right lol. If you have any tips, specifically on time and calming yourself down due to anxiety on tests. Thanks in advance

Hey, hope everyone is doing well! Will 7SAGE be updating their website to use the same interface that LSAC will be changing to for the August 2026 exam? That would be super helpful and make it much easier to get used to! Thanks!

Hi all,

I've been fortunate enough to be consistently scoring in the 160s, with my highest PT score to date being 168! I, like many people, want to break into the 170s, but I've reached a plateau I haven't seen improve. Additionally, when I review my PTs, I notice that 99% of my wrong answers were due to me constantly changing from the right to the wrong answer due to anxiousness about "being wrong" (ironic).

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to better establish the necessary confidence when it comes to (1) picking answer choices and (2) my understanding of the different question types?

Thank you!

Curriculum finished! Woo! Currently, plan is to do practice blocks/pre-exam block up until June 5th LSAT. Any advice on tweaking (optimizing) my plan? Something you've found particularly helpful in the month leading up to the LSAT?

Context: I've taken 6 PrepTests total. Four of them in August (two timed, two untimed), and two in the past couple months (untimed) to check progression.

Cold turkey timed score in August (i.e., no studying): 147, 155 later that same month, with some studying. Most recent untimed tests have been 161, but have gotten 163 and 164.

Goal score for now is 165. Planning to take it in August, too. I worry about not having taken many timed tests, but I would think comprehension is king.

Thank yoooouuuuuuu :)

Could someone tell me how I should be reading the kind of answer choices that identify a flaw by saying the argument “confuses X for Y” or a sufficient condition for a necessary condition? When I try to use piecemeal analysis to figure out what is being confused for what - like which clause actually appears in the argument vs which clause should’ve appeared in the argument - I always get lost.

TIA

Hi everyone!

If you're feeling stuck at a plateau or just overwhelmed by the amount of content on the LSAT, you are not alone. I've been in your shoes, starting with a 155 diagnostic and a 2-month-long plateau in the 160s. It took a lot of trial and error before I earned my 174 official score. Now that my LSAT journey is over, I'm here to help others in the community along theirs.

Why work with me?

Performance on the LSAT is dependent on habits. Together, we’ll focus on the 'why' behind your answer choices and analyze your specific thought process rather than just explaining why the right answer is correct. We will:

• Diagnose gaps in reasoning and refine your thought process

• Break down the answer choices that tempted you

• Discover the repeatable patterns in LR and RC and build your intuition for the exam

Support Between Sessions

Studying for the LSAT happens 24/7, not just during our calls. My students always have access to me via text or email at no extra charge. If a problem isn't making sense or you need a bit of guidance, I’m available!

I have 2 openings at $50/hour. I'm happy to chat with anyone interested.

Happy studying!

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.

I am planning to apply for law school this upcoming cycle. I am one year post -grad. What is the best approach or template for writing an addendum for a class you took during undergraduate? Additionally, do you guys find that admissions counselors are worth the money or are there other alternatives you prefer? - Sincerely a First Gen Prospective Law Student

Hey everybody, a few months back I made a post about how I was applying with my 146 LSAT and hoping for the best and would keep you guys updated. Fast forward, I got rejected and waitlisted from every school I applied to, felt defeated, and on the last day to sign up, signed up for the April 11 LSAT.

The reason I’m writing this is because I’ve been so down on myself the past few months thinking that it was pretty hopeless for me to get in anywhere or to drastically improve my score enough in such a short amount of time to make a difference for this admission cycle. This morning I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I just received my 154 LSAT score (8 point improvement!!) and I’m thrilled to be able to send out letters of continued interest.

It may seem impossible, but keep on working. This program really helped me stay focused and improve my score drastically. I hope I could serve as some point of motivation for someone who feels their LSAT score is way too low, I improved mine this much in a matter of two months, you can do this!

I needed a platform to share my excitement, because no one in my life really understands how much this means to me, or understands how big of a jump in score this really is. Wishing you all the best on your own journeys!

Update: I just got two acceptances, one of them offering a scholarship of $160,000. Let this be a reminder ALL OF YOU CAN DO THIS

I made an lsat discord 5 days ago and we have about 30 members who actively study everyday anyone can join no matter what your level or skill so far it has yielded good results for those that joined. I am a mid 160 scorer and enjoy helping how I can and I am usually in vc streaming notes or drilling during the day. SEE YOU THERE https://discord.gg/PbDgMJzuV

Hi, I hope everyone is doing well. I wanted to ask you guys, what are your strategies when approaching flaw questions? This is something that I still struggle with after learning all the flaw types, but it seems like my brain freezes, when presented with a stimulus and I have to identify which flaw type it is :(

I would love to hear from you all!

I'm currently one year out of undergrad, I'm a slightly unconventional applicant as I have no experience in any legal fields, I work as a scientist at a biotechnology company and I was hoping to apply for a patent lawyer. As the title suggests I'm wondering if I should apply in the F26 cycle

Reasons I’m considering applying this cycle:

• Applicant numbers seem to keep increasing year over year, so I’m worried waiting could make things more competitive

• The job market feels unstable and I’m not fully confident I can secure or maintain employment for another year

Reasons I’m considering waiting:

• I currently have no legal experience. If I wait and get some now, would a few months actually make a meaningful difference for admissions?

• Does the type of experience matter a lot for patent law (e.g. patent/IP vs general legal work), or is any legal exposure worth my time? I’ve heard that legal experience isn’t really expected for patent-focused applicants, so I’m unsure how much weight to give this. I've also previously tried applying for patent related positions and got nothing back before being recruited for my current scientist position.

For context, I’m sitting at a 3.65 GPA and a 170 LSAT which I will most likely retake.

Would appreciate any thoughts, especially from people who applied with/without legal experience or made a similar timing decision.

Hi I learn better for some reason in a group setting please let me know if anyone is interested in group studying sessions

Hi folks!

I've seen some LA study groups on here, but this can get a bit out of reach with traffic for me, so if anyone is in Northridge/ SF Valley, and is down for setting up in person study sessions (we can coordinate details later!) please reach out!

Some of us have gotten our April LSAT scores back, and I wanted to remind those that are proud of their scores to not diminish their accomplishments because of other's achievements. I was seeing some others feeling a little disappointed in their scores, and I began comparing my score to their significantly higher score that they were disappointed about. But the truth is that I am so proud of my score and of my improvement that I wanted to remind all those that come on here this morning that I am proud of you for doing a hard thing, and more importantly I hope you are proud of yourselves! Sometimes the LSAT can feel like a big game of "I want to be the best and then even better," but I hope each of you take a moment today to say "I am proud of myself for doing a hard thing." Even if you are disappointed in your score, you still did a hard thing that takes so much discipline and hard work. We are here to grow and to achieve our dreams, and I know the grind only continues for those that are retaking, myself included, but you did that! Be Proud!

Hey y'all, so as most of you know, we got back our April scores today. My score was 12 points under my target. It was my first exam, but I am feeling super frustrated. I am registered to take the June LSAT, but fear that a 12-point jump may be unrealistic, and I want to know if I should push the exam until August. For reference, here are my numbers:

Diagnostic 138

PTs 154-159 range (with one outlier of 148, 2 weeks before the exam)

Goal 160

Score on April exam 148

So as you can see, I am in a rut at this point. I worried I was not fully ready for a 160 for my first exam, but I definitely did not expect to see a 148 this morning when I checked. I feel like even since this April exam, I have improved a lot and been doing better, but I am worried that if I take it again in 4 weeks, I will just be thinking of this 148 instead of what I have been averaging. I was also planning on keeping my score because I know I can do better than I did, but if anyone disagrees, please let me know.

I want to start law school in the Fall 2027 term, so I was hoping to apply by September so I can get the most scholarship money possible. I also have the fee waiver, so I know I can take it again in August if needed, but I would have to pay out of pocket for it, which is unrealistic for me financially.

Basically, should I change from the June to the August LSAT? Also, do I keep my score? And what do we think of this timeline? Do we have any thoughts? Please and thanks, I need all the help I can get from y'all.

Studied hard (6-8 hours a day) for 10 weeks for the April LSAT.

My first pt score was 139 (before I even studied or watched a single course video).

My highest pt score was the week of the test and I scored a 145. My other pt scores were 140, 144, 142.

However, I scored a 139 on the April LSAT test. It’s like I never even studied for the test at all... Idk what happened. I was expecting to get around a 145 and then get to a 150 in June.

But now, needing to make an 11-point jump seems impossible.

Idk what to do?!?! It seemed like all the drills and practice tests and live classes I did was for nothing. I knew my priorities percentages were not all where I needed them to be, but to do this poorly has me second guessing everything. Do I need to go rewatch the lessons? Do I need to just drill drill drill?

Any suggestions on future study techniques? Any tips in general? My ideal score is a 150-155

I plan on taking the June and probably the August too. Should I skip June, and just take August? I want to apply right when applications open in September.

So I was grinding LR and kept making the same dumb mistakes over and over... missing necessary vs sufficient, falling for "extreme language" traps, the usual. I was keeping a wrong-answer journal in a Google Doc but it was a mess and I never actually went back to review it.

So I built a little web app for myself to make it less painful. You log every question you miss, tag why you missed it (assumption swap, misread stem, eliminated right answer, etc.), and it surfaces patterns over time

I built it just for me but figured I'd pass it along since a few study-buddies asked. It's completely free ... no paywall, no premium tier, no credit card, nothing. I'm NOT trying to sell anything. Just thought it might help someone else avoid the same mistakes I kept making.

Maybe just DM or comment if you want it and then I can send it over? Not sure the best way to share it.

Hi everyone, I got a lot more requests for it than I thought! It's still a work in progress, so if you have anything that does not work on the site or want added/changed, let me know! I just hope it is a resources for everyone.

Hi everyone!

As many of you probably did, I just got my April LAST score back and am a little underwhelmed... For context, I started studying at the end of last May, took the September test, and got a 152. I took a step back, decided not to apply this cycle, and signed up for the April test and got a 164. I am happy with the significant score jump, but feel like I have more in the tank with most of my recent PTs being 168-174 (and a 162 2 weeks before :/ )

I was really, really hoping that would be my last test and did not sign up for the June exam. I am getting married on August 8, so the August test is off the table for me. September almost seems too soon after my wedding to really lock in again, and October feels so far away.

I work full-time, over 5 years out of undergrad, and am trying to decide if I should be content with a significant score jump or if I should try again. The burnout is real right now...

Any advice, motivation, etc would be most helpful.

My goal score is a 168 btw

just starting my LSAT journey, if anyone cares to join

I think it would be nice to be able to do blind review on question by question drills.

In the settings of custom drills you select "review after each question" instead of "at the end".

But if you get something wrong it explains it right after.

The drill would be cooler to get a second crack at it BR style before the actual answer is revealed and explained. I think you would enrich your learning experience with this feature.

Hi, I just needed some advice or a guide on what I should do to prepare for the LSAT in June. April was my second time taking the LSAT and I boosted my score by 10 points from the first one I took in September. I don't know how I should study for this next month or what to even do. I scored a 150 on the April one and am really looking to see if I can improve my score by 5-10 points by June. Any advice? I took a 7Sage course already, so I know the fundamentals, strategies, and most patterns.
