Even though I’m well along my LSAT journey, I reviewed the grammar lessons in the CC again and they really helped address confusion I was repeatedly experiencing in some LR questions.

I especially recommend reviewing them for any ESL speakers as myself. To be honest I brushed through them through my first pass of the CC, but this in-depth review was so helpful, even so far in my studying.

All the best!

Stas

I have been studying for 5 weeks, at least 2 hours a day, and I am still getting so many questions wrong. I don't care if I get some wrong, but I want to get most right. I can never remember all of these acronyms they use on here, I can't tell the difference between different types of questions (sufficient assumption questions, pseudo-sufficient, Necessary, etc), and I don't understand how blind review works/helps. I don't want to take a break and "avoid burnout" because I am already 4 days behind. I would love to do tutoring, as I really think that would help, but it is so freaking expensive. I don't know what to do.

I've been preparing for the LSAT for some time. I took the test in January and plan to retake it in June, or possibly August if needed. While people often say that speed comes with practice—and I do feel myself getting faster—I also find that I tend to misread questions when I try to move too quickly. My Blind Review (BR) scores are at my target level, but the gap between my actual score and my BR is significant. Does anyone have advice on how to close this gap or improve performance under test conditions? If the solution is simply more timed practice, I can do that, but I'm unsure how much time I should allow for the tougher questions. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Are the more recent LSAT PTs easier, or is it just me? I’m taking the April test in a few days and my scores have jumped from a 164 (PT 153) to a consistent 170 on PTs 157 and 158. Has anyone else noticed a shift in difficulty starting around PT 155?

Hi there! I am taking the LSAT for the first time next Friday, the 9th. I am treating it as a practice exam to create a baseline score for my June exam.

I am looking for a flexible tutor who can work with me and my busy schedule. I work a 9-5 and my study times vary, but I always take at least an hour to two a day, uninterrupted for studying.

I started studying in January, and had a 138 diagnostic. I am currently scoring in the 155-159 range, but want a 165 on the exam in June. Tutoring would hopefully follow my April exam and have a more concrete number to work with.

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone would be interested in joining an online study group. I’m currently in PA, and I’ll be in DC over the summer, so virtual works best for me. If you’re interested, let me know and we can figure out a time that works for everyone.

Hey everyone,

I am in the practice phase of my study plan, but the practice blocks are routinely NOT generating at least a day for me to take a full practice test. I feel a little antsy about that bc I am taking the test in June. I;m wondering what others think about this. Should I be taking a PT every week? Or am I overthinking it? If not, how do I get the practice blocks to generate the PTs for me? I work well with the study plan bc otherwise I am not great at picking out what to practice every day, especially since I work full time I really like that the study plan takes the mental load off me. Thanks for everyone's help!

I have been going through the Foundations portion of the Lesson Plans, and was on the section of Necessary and Sufficient indicators. I did notice that one of the lessons said that if we are practicing these, we are eventually going to become natural with these if we have months of practice. However, if we are on a time crunch and have 1 month or so, and are already scoring low 150s, what area is more beneficial to focus on mastering in order to achieve maybe 5-10 points more?

I just scored a 173 on PT128.

I take the April exam, and today I wanted to go to campus and do a full PT at the same time as I am going to next week. I came into the exam feeling good, but by the second half I found myself feeling so discouraged that I knew I did poorly.

However, I did not even fathom getting as low as I did. I take the exam in a week and have been feeling good about it, and now I am trying to figure out how to not spiral after doing so poorly on this PT. Pls help, this exam is killing me.

Does anyone have any RC drill types they like to do? I often find myself doing single-passage drills, focusing on having a solid read, getting a good grasp of the main idea, noting structural features, and finding support for my answers, but I was curious if anyone has found any drill styles they like to do to shake things up (for example, highlighting drills where you highlight support for each AC, speed drills, etc.). Thanks for any thoughts!

Hello everyone, I am taking the LSAT this Friday and I need to squeeze a few extra points out of RC. I've struggled with it ever since I started studying but was able to go from -7/-8 consistently to -4/-5 and on occasion -2/-1. I just took PT 159 and got a 167; the vast majority of errors were in RC. On both the regular and experimental RC sections I got a -9, much worse than I have done in the past or on my last few PTs. I got a -3 on both LR passages combined. I find the newer RC passages much or difficult than the ones in the past and its been throwing me off though even still -9 is the worst score I have gotten in months. I honestly only need to get back to what my average seems to be in order to be in the 170s but taking that PT was a bit demoralizing. Also is it true that the comparative passage is completely gone or is it on some exams but not others? Thanks everyone!

Hello!! Would it be possible for a feature to be created to go back and do BR if you accidentally clicked "Skip Blind Review?"

Thank you and God bless!

Given that we know the relative difficulty distribution of questions (~15-20 is where it gets tough), has anyone tried and been successful with going straight to the harder questions?

Yeah, he DNP'd Austin Reaves and Rui. He also treated Taurean Prince like he was his own flesh and blood. But is he wrong when he tells us to read and understand the stimulus before moving on to the answer choices? Hell no! So go hard on them LSAT questions! Salute!

Is there a way to blind review a practice test I accidentally chose not to? I haven't looked at the answers... I just need an "undo" button to go back and select the right link to blind review. I'm so frustrated I did that and am hoping it is fixable. Has anyone else been in this situation before and been able to troubleshoot?

Hi there! My name is Ariana, and I am aiming to either write the June or August LSAT this summer, going for a 170. I will be studying at UofT come mid-April, and am looking for anyone who is motivated and driven to join! My hours would be 9-5pm, probably in Robarts or other libraries on campus. Let me know if you are interested!

Anywhere you see a tag on the website, hover over it for more information! Handy dandy!

Also, we've added a ton of tags for common flaws like ad hominem arguments and false dichotomies! Dandy handy!

Shoot us any ideas you have for what information you'd like to see in these tooltips.

I know you can filter to show only the most recent PT and drill data but I want to start fresh w a blank slate. Is it possible to wipe everything without having to manually delete hundreds of drills? If so is there a way to retain my notes and bookmarked questions?

Hi! I'm suffering from the classic issue of struggling to break free of the -4/-3 rage on timed sections and PTs, -1/-0 on BR. My BRs are consistently around 175 or higher, but the end goal is to avoid making those silly mistakes on the real thing. For those consistent 170+ scorers, were there any concepts, sayings, things you heard, or anything in your studying habits that just made things click? It could be regarding a specific question type, a common trap you were falling for, a classic flaw, anything.

If I opt in to make monthly payments for tutoring hours, is there an option to pay off the remaining balance early?

Hi! I am really struggling and would love any help/tips regarding taking sections or study schedules. For the past month, I've consistently been stuck at 159/160 and have yet to break 160. I am aiming for June and really want a 170+. I just did another section today and got a 159 and 172 BR. I am extremely frustrated and have no idea how to choose the correct answer between 2, not fatigue during the exam, understand RC, etc. I've been doing 1/2 reading passages throughout the week and drilling level 3-5 questions and reviewing them all each day - I'm not sure where I should go next. If anyone could please let me know what helped them, that would be great! Thanks so much!

You've been grinding through your LSAT prep and finally start seeing scores in the mid-to-high 170s, only to fall back to the high 160s on your next practice test. Sound familiar? In this episode, @AlexJacobs and @BaileyLuber break down a question from a student dealing with exactly that kind of score variance. They discuss what's behind those frustrating swings, how tension and underconfidence can quietly tank a score, whether a partly fresh PT can inflate your results, and what you can actually do to build consistency when you're trying to break out of a plateau. If you've been stuck in a score range and can't figure out why your best performances aren't sticking, this one's for you.
