Hi, out of curiosity I'm wondering how the score equivalent for full tests is determined from sections. For example, I took LR sections from PT 122 and got -1 and -0 on the sections, with PrepTest equivalent scores of 172 and 174, respectively. Wondering why, based on numbers alone, my -0 section wouldn't be a 180 equivalent, for example. Same with why the -1 section wouldn't be higher. Is it because it's an older test with relatively less difficulty than more current ones? TYIA for any insight!

How representational are these truly? I got a 0 on a RC, but it said that my PT equivalent was only 175?? And similarly, I got a -3 on a RC, and the equivalent was 167 - shouldn't this be closer to a 169?
I realize this might be a common or frustrating issue, but I’m seeing a discrepancy in my recent LR results. Earlier today, I completed a 15-question drill and scored 10/15. During my Blind Review, I technically scored 11/15; however, I switched three previously correct answers to incorrect ones. Essentially, my logical understanding should have gotten a 14/15.
Because this was an untimed section, the 7Sage analytics are difficult to interpret; eight questions are flagged for review despite only five being truly incorrect on the second pass. Has anyone else encountered this frequently? I understand I should stick with my gut if I’m confident in an answer, even if it’s flagged for Blind Review, but the data still feels misleading.
Does anyone have any tips on not doubting your answers. I will narrow it down to two and I have noticed I pick the wrong one. I just did a PT and scored a 152 and then BR to a 161, all by picking my other narrowed down answers.
Could you share a bit about why you prefer one over the other?
I dont really understand BR exactly. What I do is when i get a question wrong I review it. Is that blind review? Or is it when you re-do the entire section again? And then after that you then review missed questions? That seems overly redundant and very time consuming. Also for the setting in BR it shows what questions you missed. Should I turn this setting off so I dont know which ones are wrong?
Hi all! I'm looking for people to study or body double with (in-person).

I’m registered for the April LSAT and in the final stretch. My most recent full PT was a 174, and I’m generally scoring in the low 170s. With about 14 days left, I’m really hoping to push above 175, since even 1-2 points could make a big difference for me as a splitter aiming for the T14.
I’m considering taking full PTs more often, maybe twice a week, but I’m not sure what approach is most likely to help me gain those last few points. Would really appreciate any advice. Thanks!
Hello! I'm Ahmi. I'm a 10-years-of-work-experience to law student tutor who learned to loathe and then love the LSAT. I started at a 139 diagnostic, scored a 150 official and then learned to turn on the jets and 2 months later scored a 167 official. I now consistently score 170+ on every practice test.
I work with students of all score ranges and backgrounds, but I particularly excel with students who have plateaued and are looking to break open the test. I've worked with students who are starting on their LSAT journey to third time test takers in dire need of score improvement in a short window.
If any of the above sounds like you...please don't hesitate to reach out to me and we can see if we are a fit. Feel free to:

I'm currently looking to bolster my roster of students with (2) openings at a rate of $60/hr. I can be negotiable on rate by bundling hours and typically recommend 1-2 hour blocks anywhere from 1 to 3 times a week.
Please don't hesitate to comment below, reach out to my DM's or email should you have any questions, and I look forward to meeting some of you :)
I am having a lot of trouble with practice problems on sufficient and necessary conditions. Each practice problem I attempt concerning the contrapositive, I end up missing the mark (especially on the translating into Lawgic formulas). Does anyone have any tips on how I can master this topic?
Hi, I started studying for the LSAT 6 months ago, and I am taking the April exam. I have scored in 4 PTs in my target range, and I have two weeks until the April exam. I really want this to be the end of my LSAT studying, and that makes me want to push as hard as I can in this last phase of studying. However, I am feeling a lot of mental fatigue and burn out. Does anyone have tips for how to handle these last two weeks of studying? I know that I should be dialing it back for the last week, but I feel like I should still be doing SOMETHING this week, and I am not sure what to do.
Hello!
As the title says, I'm struggling to close the gap between my scores and my blind review scores. I average a 167 on my PTs (best 171), and average a 177 on my blind reviews (best 180). That is a pretty significant jump, and getting consistently over 170 would make my dream schools much more feasible. I am struggling with how to get there.
I think a big thing for me is eye fatigue by the ends of sections and especially by the end of the test. I also just really struggle with the same question types consistently, despite having spent a lot of time reviewing those questions, creating a wrong answer journal, and watching explanations.
Any advice?
I initially wanted to go to law school in 2022, and started my LSAC profile then, so two of my LORs are from 2022. While I would still request an LOR from these individuals today, would it be ideal to request newer LORs from them? I know one of them is not dated, but the other might be.
There's also a third person I'd like to obtain an LOR from, who is the Dean of my current program, which is at my target school. Should I swap one of those older LORs for one from him, or is it okay to have three?
Hi! I'm El. I believe that the LSAT is a unique test - it genuinely rewards the kind of clear, precise thought that makes good lawyers, rather than making you memorize things you'll never use again. I'm taking on two or three new students who are looking to get better at the kind of thinking the LSAT wants you to do. If you're looking to train your ability to break down arguments, discuss structure, and point out flaws - rather than just learning question types - I'd like to work with you.
I've worked with a wide range of students, from those in the 130s who need help with establishing fundamentals to those in the 170s who are aiming at complete mastery (ask me about my testimonials!). I'm great at explaining confusing questions, providing foundational strategies, and helping you understand what it would take for you to become better at the LSAT.
A little about me: I went from a 173 cold diagnostic to a 175 on the official test (with several 180s on practice tests!). I studied writing and philosophy in college, and have taught for classes, friends, and as a volunteer. My tutoring is an extension of that: I enjoy explaining things and helping people think more clearly, and the LSAT happens to be a place where that sort of thing is rewarded.
A little about the tutoring: I've tried a lot of things, and the format that I've found most consistently delivers results is taking notes while you work through a full section of a real test, where you verbalize your reasoning on every question. Then, we go over the section in detail: focusing on specific questions where easily fixable mistakes tripped you up, as well as problematic test-wide trends. Doing this lets us catch the mistakes you're actually making, as well as places where shaky foundations could cost you points. I track your pace, precision, and stamina, and offer strategies to improve each. My rate is $120/hour, and I offer package discounts: $110/hour for 20 hours and $100/hour for 40 hours.
Most of my students take two hour sessions, one to three times a week. I offer free consultations: a 20-30 minute call where we talk specifics, ask each other questions, and maybe work through a practice problem or two. Don't hesitate to send me a DM - I'd love to chat and see if we'd be a good fit.
I know a video was released just talking about this, however, I wanted to ask regarding my personal circumstance. I am a Junior in college with a busy schedule and heavy load. I am hoping to take the LSAT in June my goal is a 160- I currently have a 145 (diagnostic taken in feb). I started studying more consistently middle of February, however, it is still on and off. Should I take the June one for the experience even if I might not do great? I am just nervous to only have the August LSAT. I will have about a month once school ends to completely lock in and study for the June LSAT. What do we think?
Thank you in advance :).
4/1 UPDATE: Hi! I'll be changing this study session to 6:00 PM. And instead of using zoom, I'll be using the "Study Room" feature 7Sage has in the chat. I'll be studying for ~2-2.5hrs monday through friday. See y'all there!
Hi, everyone! My name is Alejandra, and I'm based in NYC. Would anyone want to meet on Zoom at 7:00am every weekday to study independently? I work full-time and feel like studying a bit before work would be best for me. I know it's early but would love to know if anyone else is down!
Thanks :)
So I am slated to take the April LSAT, def not ready. I have been studying since mid Feb decently consistently. My main plan is august LSAT is my main. September backup. Should I keep the April test date or move it? When does one want to cancel a score? What does cancelling entail? Can schools see that? Is that bad? If I score like a 150 do I keep that or delete it? Confused on what to do. Thank you!
Would I be considered a URM? My grandparents are both fully native, but I am only a quarter native. I also don't have a tribal card. Despite this, I do have some unique experiences related to being native that I discuss in my diversity statement, for example, staying at the Indian reservation for special events and family visits as well as witnessing racial discrimination against family members.
I feel mentally stuck and like I’m holding myself back from taking practice tests. I think I’m avoiding them because I’m nervous—I’ve been studying and drilling, but it doesn’t feel like it’s fully clicking yet. Because of that, I keep telling myself I shouldn’t take timed tests (or even full practice tests at all) until I completely understand why I’m getting questions wrong and can clearly see the patterns.
Has anyone dealt with this? How do you push past that hesitation?
I’m also trying to memorize simple phrases to guide my approach for each question type so I don’t freeze up in the moment. Does anyone have fun or effective ways to make those stick?
We just released a new feature that shows how your chances of admission change at any given school with different LSAT scores. Check it out:

Hey guys, how do I differentiate "infer" vs "properly infer" in LR? I understood "infer" to mean Most Strongly Supported and "properly infer" to mean Must Be True. Am I right here?
Looking for a tutor that can help me out of the high 140s to 165 at least. Someone who’s willing to work with a struggling college student. I can’t pay the amount of 30,40,60 dollars a session knowing where I’m starting, I’ll have a lot of sessions I’ll have to book before achieving my set score.
I just wanted to say I was extremely worried when I first started studying (jan1) that I would not have enough time to get a good score come April, and granted I obviously haven't taken the real thing, but I went from a 148 diagnostic (jan1) to a 169 PT (today ehehe) and I'm over the moon. I just wanted to post this for non trad applicants. I am 24, a veteran, have three children 1,3, and 4. My 4 year old being non verbal and having level 3 autism, but I was still able to get to a place where Im comfortable with my score (thanks to my amazing husband). Idk I'm so happy and wish I could just tell my day one self that I was gonna be fine. Good luck April testers!
