🙃 Confused

Remote vs. In-Person: June Test

I was planning on taking the June LSAT remotely, since I study in the same spot each day at my home, and was hoping the familiarity might help me perform better as opposed to in-person. However, after the announcement that June will be the last chance to take the remote LSAT, I have come across multiple horror stories of remote testing experiences (proctors, timing, etc.). I want to make sure this is accurate.

I would really appreciate hearing about anyone's experiences/knowledge about taking the remote test, and or in-person. I don't plan on re-taking, so it's super important to me that I have a good experience.

Thank you and have a great day!

first denial

Just received my first denial from a target school (UNT Dallas). Not really sure what to do as my LSAT is pretty low (148), but I thought my GPA (3.5) and experiences could maybe balance out. Does anyone have any advice or think I will even get accepted anywhere?

Hi everyone, I have finally decided I want to apply for law school this September but I just got started a few days ago with studying. I got 150 on my practice test and the core curriculum is showing an end of May 17 for me as I picked the 2-4 hours per day option. Do you guys think I have enough time to study or does it sound unreasonable? Another 7sage page recommended about 9 months to study for the LSAT but I only have about 5 at most. Any tips on top of doing the core curriculum? I think I will also get a NYT subscription and start reading that daily.

🫣 Scared

Here goes nothing

Going to be completely transparent, as an application, I have no idea where I stand. LSAT:146, GPA:3.70, plenty of work experience throughout college, current job I work I deal largely with the legal team and contracts. Going to apply with this score and hope for the best. Wish me luck, Hopefully I can come back to this post as someone who was able to get an acceptance to provide hope to anyone who feels like a bad LSAT score is the end of the world.

Help!

I do way much better on the blind review, and I think is because I don't feel pressured, and therefore I can think straigh, can someone please give me advice on how not to feel pressure?

Im confused a bit. What are the differences between PSA questions and SA. I just went over it but Im having a hard time differentiating these types of questions.

Hey everyone! I am currently beginning to study for the LSAT and wanted to see if anyone was interested in joining a study group where we could study in person or online. I have not seen a post for people who are studying in Dallas, Texas yet so if anyone is interested, feel free to reach out.

Hey Guys, I live in ATL near the battery and I am taking the April LSAT. I would love to meet some people in the area that would be interested in potentially starting an ATL study group or just a study buddy that would meet once a week or once every other week.

I seem to lose focus as it get into drills and test. I consistently get more questions wrong at the end of drills and prep-tests. I would appreciate any tips or strategies. Thank you!

Hello,

I am trying to decide when to take the LSAT. I am currently in my senior year of college and will be graduating in may. I am going to apply for the fall 2027 law school cycle. I have been studying the 7sage program for about 2 months( almost done with the large foundations portion and about to start the practice) and did the powerscore books before this. I am ok with paying for 2 -3 tests and am wondering when it is best to take the test. I want to prioritize getting the best score I can while submitting early applications to create a competitive application for some t-14 schools. I have heard some say to take as many tests as you can to get the best score and others say it's a waste of money. Wondering if anyone has any strong opinions on the matter. In addition I will be done with my 7sage program at the end of may and wondering if i should transition to some private tutoring. I am aiming for at least a 173. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Tips to Improve Timing?

Currently stuck in the mid 150s on my timed PTs but get high 160s/low 170s during blind review (I only spend about an hour extra on blind review). Any tips to help with timing since that seems to be my biggest issue right now? Been stuck here for months now and it's really upsetting.

Not Improving

I've been studying for a while, but I don't feel like I'm improving. I can't seem to break into the 170s, and am just stuck in the high 160's. Any advice for that extra push?

I'm currently studying to take the LSAT in April. I started studying in January, got a diagnostic score of 164 then I completed an expedited version of 7Sage's core curriculum in ~4 weeks during which I didn't do any practice tests or full length sections and just focused on learning the content and format of the test. Now that I've completed that I want to switch wholly into practice mode for the next 7 weeks leading up to my test, but I want advice about what the right number of practice tests vs timed sections per weeks is. This week I've already taken two practices tests and on the first scored a 167 on my run through of the test and with blind review. On the second I scored a 162, but have yet to blind review the test.

I spoke with two friends who have both taken the LSAT, scored well, and I trust and they recommended very different things.

Friend 1: Try taking three practice tests per week at the beginning of this practice phase and gradually decrease to 2 when you are consistently getting the score you want

Friend 2: Start by taking only 1 practice test and then doing timed sections on days that you aren't testing. From there slowly increase to 2 practice tests per week.

Any advice on which approach would work better? I'm hoping to only need to take the test once and really really want a 175+. Feeling incredibly nervous about this because the test feels so close and that score feels far away from my target, so any thoughts would be welcome!

I don’t know what to do

I keep zoning out while reading. I don’t know why, but it’s so frustrating. I find myself able to sit down and get normal stuff done (schoolwork, anything that requires focus for long periods of time) but as soon as I start doing PTs or drills I can’t focus. I don’t know what to do. 😢 any advice?

Hi everyone! I have a neuroscience degree from UC Davis where I graduated with a 2.9. I plan to do an addendum because of undiagnosed adhd and test anxiety. I graduate from my MBA program with 3.8 in the spring and plan to apply for law school in the fall. I have worked for 4 years in the biotechnology industry in the quality department. My diagnostic was a 160 and Im aiming for 170 in June. My advisor told me with my background I would be a good fit for IP law. Im based in northern California but wouldn’t mind a change in scenery. Its hard to see which schools are reachable and super reaches due to my low GPA and mixed background. What does everyone else think my safe, reach, and super reaches schools are? I ultimately want to practice law in California.

please help

I have been studying and have only been able to reach a score of 142. I would like to achieve a score of 165 by April, as this is my last opportunity for this cycle before I would have to wait a year. I have tried different tutors, but my score has not changed. I also attempted the live classes here, but I found them to be a bit too slow for my pace. While I know some people might suggest that I wait until next year, I consider myself a non-traditional student. I would like to know what steps I can take to make this goal a reality.

Hi! I plan to take the June 2026 LSAT and would love to have weekly (or 2x /week) study groups in-person, mainly for accountability! I am open to meeting in cafes and libraries - please feel free to comment below and we can figure out time blocks during the week!
