Hi :)

As the title suggests, I am struggling with this question type quite a bit. Do you guys have any strategies or tips on how to improve on this? Almost every point I lose on RC is exclusively this type, and I'm not quite sure what I should change in my reading or process to avoid this mistake.

Thank you, I hope you're all doing well! We got this <3

Currently working at a company and job I enjoy. Decided that even though it pays well I know I need to do something in the law and preferably public interest related. My conundrum is when do I tell my manager that I'm quitting my job to go to law school?

The role I'm in is fairly complicated and required about 6 months of training to get it down. I was planning on letting her know maybe six months before I leave. I want to give her as much time to find and have me train someone but at the same time I could see them letting me go early and I need that income.

What should I do?

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.

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 - $90hr

I'm registered for the June test date and I am nearly through with the more recent test questions not reserved for full PTs so I've resorted to doing drills / sections of older questions. I mainly study by doing full sections rather than a bunch of shorter drills so my main issue is that I'm running out of sections that fully consist of new questions. I've definitely noticed differences in question structure between the new and old LR sections, but its hard for me to tell whether there is a significant change in difficulty between the two. I have been doing better on the old ones vs the new ones so it could be that I'm finally starting to master the LR section (hopefully) or it could be due to easier questions.

Does anyone know if the old sections are actually any easier than the new ones? If so, what would be a good study practice for someone who doesn't have very many 'fresh' questions left from more recent PTs?

Hi,

I am looking for a study partner that prefers a fast-paced but thorough learning style.

hi y'all ◡̈ was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to close the gap on blind review or just reviewing overall without using a wrong answer journal (i don't feel like im actually retaining when i use it because i don't really go back to reference it). thanks in advance for the tips <333

Hey guys!! I'm drafting my personal statement and plan to mention the attorney/founder of the law firm I am working under as a transition into my "why". This is because his practice has focused on many of the flaws and hardships he faced during a personal probate proceeding and how he reformed these practices for the community. I want to relate this to why I want to go into family law.

Is this a bad idea?? I've heard it's not great to talk about other people in your PS. I have about 4 sentences about his firm, where I mentioned I have aided in these practices. #help

Hi all, I am planning to take the August LSAT this summer. I already took the test and scored a 167, and am hoping for low to mid 170s. I have previously PTd 174 and usually average a 172, but I haven't studied for the test in around 6 months. What kind of study work should I be doing to make my time most effective? Should I redo the curriculum, or just focus on drilling individual weaknesses and taking PTs? I have no commitments this summer so I am planning to study around 40-50 hours a week.

Working through the Foundations curriculum and just wondering what the recommended practice test frequency/cadence is afterwards. I see a lot of people reference their practice test scores and when to schedule based on how you are scoring, so I would be curious to hear what different people recommend.

I have two little ones and work full time so planning time windows to do timed practice test is challenging so I am just wondering how intentional you need to be about getting those tests in. It feels like by far the most important thing to do, but also a challenging thing to work in frequently.

Hello,

I'm looking to create a small, committed study group of people who are based in New York City and are taking the August LSAT. In order for this to be as effective as possible I ask that you only reach out if the following apply to you:

1) Scoring at least 155 on PTs

2) Age 22+ / Done with undergrad

3) Able to meet once a week, in person, in Manhattan

4) Able to commit to one study session a week

I am 25, based on the Lower East Side, and have a standard 9-5 job. I'm currently scoring in the low 160s and would like to bump my score as close to 180 as possible.

Looking forward to meeting!

Best,

Subhash

Maybe this is already a thing but when I’m reviewing a specific tag (ex parallel reasoning) I would love to be able to click the arrow and it takes me to the next question within the tag (parallel reasoning questions) instead of taking to the next question in the section. I know I could just run a drill with the tag but sometimes I just want to consecutively watch the videos or read the explainers for that tag without having to go back and forth from the missed questions page to the question I’m reviewing.

I work full-time and can be quite tired at the end of a long day, and my work especially is the type that can be draining. From prior experience, I kind of feel that studying for as long as I should each day can end up getting to a point where I am too tired to focus on my studying; sometimes it is fine but others I just kind of go through the motions. Do any other people who have tried studying while working have any tips or strategies that worked for them?

Hi all,

I am about finished with the curriculum. Long story short, I was out of the country and have also just started a new job so my LSAT studying kind of fell to the wayside for about a month and a half but I am back at it and just have to finish up my last day of curriculum material tomorrow. I literally only had 2 days of curriculum left when I kind of fell off track LMAO. Anyway, I am wondering how much I should I be drilling daily if I plan to take the test in August (about 3 months out)? I was originally going to take it in June but then felt I fell too far behind timing wise.

I attempted a PT today and had to stop halfway through because it genuinely felt like my brain stopped processing information correctly. I wasn’t panicking outwardly, but I suddenly couldn’t sustain focus, couldn’t fully comprehend passages, and for the first time ever, I couldn’t even finish all the LR questions in a section. I was reading words, but nothing felt like it was actually sticking cognitively.

For context, I’m coming off an extremely intense semester (finals, leadership transitions, travel, etc.), so I’m wondering if this is some combination of burnout/anxiety/cognitive overload, but it honestly scared me because I’m used to functioning at a very high academic level.

If anyone has experienced this during prep:

• How did you reset?

• Did you take time off or push through?

• How did you rebuild focus/stamina?

• Did it end up being temporary?

Would really appreciate any advice because right now I feel mentally fragmented and pretty overwhelmed.

I'm a second year in undergrad, graduating a year early, and am applying for law school this fall. I haven't really made any stand-out connections with any of my profs, and I'm afraid it might be too late now before applications. There was one or two that gave me great writing feedback in my first year, but I'm not sure if that was memorable enough, and I didn't really talk to them.

I also have two jobs- one as a law clerk at a small firm I've been at for 3 years and have a great connection with my boss; the other, I've been a typist for a year, helping on a law prof's research at my school's law school (T20-40 range), with whom I'm very friendly. I also recently got an internship at a national law firm; my supervisors are paralegals, and I don't know them too well yet, but we're friendly.

I heard that schools want at least one academic letter if you're applying right out of undergrad, but I'm not sure at this point if a meh one would hurt me? And if I should just go the full professional letter route? And which professional letters should I prioritize?

my mar lsat diagnostic was 161, i'm aiming for 170+ in aug and T50 schools.

It's nearly impossible to get into any T6 school in their 40s, right?

My GPA is 3.85ish (T3 public school / soft STEM / 2-3 yrs of job experience / a lot of familial & medical hardships / a foreign military experience) , but can't really do any prep for my LSAT right now because of legal issues I'm currently dealing with.

I'm feeling super anxious because I'm in my late 30s.

I took the LSAT this past January (third-year college student) and scored a 167. My average 5 practice tests leading up to my official attempt averaged to just about that, with a highest recorded score of 170. My initial diagnostic was a 153, and I studied from March onward, though I could only dedicate about 5-10 hours per week to it during the school year and occasionally 10-15 in the summer. I am interested in BU, Notre Dame, Vanderbilt, UCLA, & UC Berkeley, and I did not hit the median for those (which is around 170) but did exceed the 25th percentile. I am confident that the other components of my application will be strong. That said, I plan to take two gap years to teach before attending law school, and I am on the fence about my test timeline. I could study this summer and retake in September, but I will have an intense full-time internship for June and July that will take up a significant portion of my time. I do not want to study for or take the test again during senior year, as I will be writing a senior honors thesis. The other option for a retake would be to study full-time the summer after I graduate and retake it that fall, but then I would have taken about a year and a half off from studying before revisiting. I could also study while working full-time in a post-grad teaching role, but I think that would be challenging to manage. I think it makes sense to retake the test, but does anyone have advice on when I should? I also should mention that I took the test under particularly bad conditions (personal life crisis) that severely impacted my emotional state and sleep leading up to it.

I took the diagnostic test a week ago and scored a 140. I am following the study guide. I have 9 weeks of course material before I start the practice questions.

Am I supposed to be drilling now? Or wait until the lectures are done?

I’ve been studying for a while, however I have hit a plateau and would love to discuss how to improve

I finished my first PT since my diagnostic back in December. My diagnostic was 139 > and this PT was a 158. I haven’t studied consistently until these last 3 weeks, I’d always start and stop. Should I finish the curriculum or keep drilling and working through the Loophole as I’ve been doing the last 3 weeks?

I’m aiming for the August LSAT (I’m okay with taking September LSAT as well) and a goal score of 170+ (I know that might be highly unrealistic in this timeframe).

While taking the PT, on certain questions I knew that diagramming would help get me to an answer I just didn’t know what to diagram if that makes sense. Any recommendations on how to get better at diagramming?

Hi everyone, happy Monday! I'm an independent LSAT tutor, and I'm super excited to introduce my new weekly group study sessions. These sessions will be online, are 40 minutes long, and are completely FREE for anyone to join!

They are tentatively scheduled for Wednesdays at 11AM PDT/2PM EDT, but please feel free to join the group even if these times don't work for you! I may change dates or add sessions based on the schedules of people in the group.

Each session will have a different theme. In a given session, we could focus on LR, RC, or test day strategies. My goal for these study sessions is for you to get some extra practice in, learn new test approaches, get clarification on tricky questions, be part of a community of like-minded learners, and of course, have fun!

Hope to see you all there :)

Hi everyone! My name is Isabella and I'm excited to start offering independent LSAT tutoring. I recently received a score of 177 on the April 2026 LSAT (screenshot below), and my initial diagnostic score was a 157. I self-studied my way up through lots of trial and error and strategy adjustments, and since I was able to improve my score significantly, I would love to help other students do the same!

Here are some things I will be focusing on in my tutoring sessions:

• Building a strategy and timeline that fits your schedule

• Breaking down difficult LR questions in a simple, intuitive way

• RC approach for different passage types

• Training time management and pattern recognition

My rate is currently $40/hr, and I would be happy to hop on a free consultation call to make sure we are a good fit! Feel free to message me or comment below if you'd like to chat more :)

I plan to take the LSAT in September, but on RC questions I keep falling for trap answers and struggle to structure the passages in my head as I read. Does anyone have any tips on improving RC, focusing on structure and avoiding trap answers?

Hey all!!! I’m not necessarily struggling to understand the foundations however, as I’m working through the logical reasoning modules I’m realizing I’m struggling to apply ther concepts. I understand and can explain them but when I start mixing in multiple question types it becomes over whelming. Should I practice applying ther concepts? If so how? What have high scorers who ran into a similar issue done? Any help or advice would be really appreciated! Good luck to everyone studying hard.
