A little about where I’m at:

• Rising senior at Duke

• Just finished a very intense semester, so I’m now transitioning into full-time LSAT prep

• Last full PT was a 159 (September 2025)

• Goal range is ideally 170+ long term, but I’m focused right now on building a strong, structured foundation and improving consistently

My current timeline:

• Two weeks of near full-time study starting now

• Then balancing prep alongside a major summer fellowship/internship schedule

• Planning to take the August test as my first official administration

I’m looking for someone who:

• wants consistent accountability,

• is serious about improvement,

• is willing to review mistakes/process together,

• and preferably is also studying heavily this summer for August or fall administrations.

Would especially love someone interested in structured study schedules and not just endlessly grinding PTs. Feel free to message me if you think we’d be a good fit!Looking for a serious summer study/accountability buddy for the August LSAT!

I just scored a 168 on PT139.

Hi everyone,

I’m currently a Project Manager at a software company, working ~50 hours/week. I’m not very fulfilled and don’t feel passionate about the work, which is part of why I started studying for the LSAT.

I’ll hit one year at my company in October 2026, but I’ve been struggling to find the time and energy to study. I think I could reach around a 165 by August, and I’d like to apply this upcoming cycle.

Delaying to the 2027–2028 cycle isn’t ideal for me. I’m also concerned about maintaining strong relationships for letters of recommendation—I have them now, but that could change over time.

While I think my work experience adds value to my application, leaving before a full year might raise concerns about commitment.

I’d really appreciate advice on what to do:

• Quit my job and focus on LSAT prep (is ~7 months of experience okay if my score improves?)

• Stay in my job and apply with a lower score

• Wait for the 2027–2028 cycle (and potentially find a less demanding job—open to suggestions on roles that are helpful for law school applications)

I’m not set on a specific area of law yet. I majored in Neuroscience and English, and I enjoy reading, writing, and analytical work. My current role also involves some contract-related work.

Thanks in advance for any insight!

Hi y'all! I just finished my first week of studying and took my second PT. I feel like I can solve most questions without pressure and given enough time. But under testing conditions, phew, it is a mental frenzy to complete them on time, let alone get the correct answer. How would you recommend I close this gap between my 177 BR and 160 diagnostic? More studying the concepts or drilling and PT's?

Hi everyone, I tried answering questions in reverse order, but it lowered my score. I thought starting with the hardest questions (while I’m freshest and have the most time) would help. Is this a common strategy, or is it better to go in order (first -> last)?

Hello! I am enrolled in 7Sage's Total Intensive Prep course which begins tomorrow. I am looking at the homework listed for the class, and I was wondering if the course is designed so that students complete the homework before each class or after each class.

Hi Everyone! I am fresh to the LSAT and am looking for a group to work with or to create. It would be awesome to find people locally, but I am also totally open to finding an online group! I feel like I hit a roadblock with the book, The Loophole, almost immediately in chapter 2, so I am trying something new!

I recently discovered that now we can filter by Answer choice tags in Analytics > Questions. Could we get the same feature under Drills as well? Would be useful to know which type answer choice I keep gravitating towards every time I pick the wrong answer.

Looking for people studying in the IE! Preference on meeting in person if possible!

Find study partners, compare your progress to others', and snoop on your peers' results with our new People page.

For people who want to voice their displeasure at the atrocious changes LSAC has made to the August format, they have a feedback form at https://www.lsac.org/send-us-your-feedback and actively monitored email inboxes at LSACinfo@lsac.org and accessibility@LSAC.org. I sent in a strongly worded complaint across both email and the feedback form yesterday and got responses from named customer service reps within 24 hours saying they'd incorporate the feedback into their design process. Who knows if they'll actually listen, but odds are higher the more vocal we are about this.

I find that when I blind review, I tend to not miss any. But it is nonetheless frustrating as I want to be able to get it the first time. What are some tips to break through this and get to a point where my BR can match my actual performance on sections/PTs?

Hi guys! I've been trying this tip that I heard on the 7Sage Shortcut podcast and it really helped me improve my confidence and process, so I thought that I would share it here too (I hope it's okay, if not then please remove this post).

After I take a section or PT (as soon as possible), I pick out the questions that were redddddddddddddd-green (aka: I had the wrong AC selected for a while and then switched to the correct AC). Then, I write down in a journal exactly what was the 'revelation' that caused me to switch ACs. So for example, it could be something like "I realized that a particular word in this AC was too strong to be MSS'd." Having these notes to refer back to has made such a difference.

Thank you to the incredible podcasters for recommending this. Seriously, I eat, sleep, and breathe, this podcast.

Have a great weekend everyone!

how does the lsac gpa work? do they have their own scale? for example, my college doesnt award A+s. also, does dual enrollment from high school also count in the lsac gpa?

when law schools report their average accepted applicant's gpas, it's the lsac one, right, not the undergraduate?

I Would like to start a study group. Planning on taking the LSAT in August!

I have been at this for a while, so I have gone through a lot of the material and don't have much left in the 'fresh' pile. It would be great if there was a tag that shows how many times you have taken a question or test and the date. It is there when I scroll through the analytics but it has become time consuming to go through this each time and create a custom drill for myself.

Hello,

I've taken the LSAT several times and thanks to 7Sage am now firmly in the low 160's. I would like to find someone to meet with once a week to go over problem areas, hold each other accountable, and talk through tough questions. I am aiming for a 170, but would be satisfied with something in the higher 160's.

Is it possible to get a higher scholarship if you don't have any current acceptances from other schools? I made the mistake of not applying more broadly and at this point in the admissions cycle, I'm sure it's too late to do that now.

Stats are a 163 and 3.63 and at this point in time, I am going to Stetson Law. I was offered $25,000 per year. On the plus side, I'll get to live at home, so I don't have to worry about cost of living.

Hey everyone,

I’m based in San Antonio, TX and recently began studying for the LSAT while working full-time after completing my MBA. I’m hoping to connect with others in the area who are actively preparing for the LSAT or planning to attend law school in Texas.

Would be great to exchange study strategies, resources, accountability, motivation, or even potentially form a local study group. Balancing LSAT prep with a career is definitely a challenge, so it’d be nice to connect with others on a similar path.

Feel free to message me if you’re local and currently studying. Wishing everyone success on their journey.

Hi All,

I'm potentially starting a new position so far, so I am hoping to find any study partners that would be interested in meeting after 5:00pm to study for the LSAT for 1-3 hours (I can do virtually, but not my preference). This is for the sake of accountability and discipline in studying as I personally plan to take the August LSAT. Let me know if you're interested! I can create a group chat and gauge details. (Also, hoping to hit the 170s so I'm pretty determined).

Hey yall,

I've been studying on and off for the lsat for about a year. This year I decided it was my year so I've been very consistent with studying, starting back with the basics on LSAT lab on youtube. I just got access to 7sage again so I immediately wanted to go through the foundational topics which I'm making my way through.

I've been joining the live sessions when I have time but I wanted to know if there was a more strategic way to go about taking classes. Like should I be lining classes up with what I will be drilling that day or is there a better way because I don't know if its the most helpful doing LR 2 days in a row and RC 1 day, you know..

Thanks :)

Wanted to make a post to recommendSteven for anyone seeking LSAT tutoring, particularly students looking to break through plateaus.

I started working with Steven in October 2024 and scored a 172 on the February exam. Steven was integral to my prep process and I truly could not have done this without him!

My biggest struggle was test-day strategy. I was already PTing consistently in the mid-170s when I reached out to Steven, but I could NOT translate that to the actual exam. Steven examined my PT results and wrong answers and identified that I had a pattern of making significant strategic mistakes under the pressure of the real thing, which was costing me questions I should have been answering confidently. He helped me develop a systematic, concrete approach to the question types I struggled with most. He would also watch me take timed sections and recap exactly where I made good and bad strategic decisions. On exam day, I simply replicated what we had practiced and enforced good strategy — even though I was still extremely nervous.

Perhaps most importantly, Steven helped me with the mental side of prep. He genuinely cared about my success and spent a lot of time talking me down when I got in my head. He was always kind and patient, listened to my concerns, and worked with me to find solutions. I can't recommend him enough!

Hi, I just opened some drills today, and I noticed that for the post August new UI, there's not really an option now to have it not fullscreen - before, I kind of liked having it in a smaller box with a slightly darkish background (it felt a lot easier on my eyes), but now that's not really an option anymore. Not fullscreen is pretty much the same as fullscreen. Is that representative of the actual new August UI changes?

So I have been studying now for nearly... 5 months. I work full time at a law firm and have other life obligations so I typically can only get in 2-3 hours a day, but it has been working for me, I thought. I did all of the curriculum, the whole thing. And then just drilling, sections, PTs every other week or so when I can but at LEAST every month. And it seemed to be working. I started at 153 and every PT I climbed 2 points, so I was like okay.. This is working. I took my official test in April and got a 164, which I was quite happy with.

But, I want to shoot higher, I signed up for June. At first I thought I was ready for this. Started getting some of my best scores yet after taking a week off after the April test, getting -1s, -3s on sections and such, felt good. And then.. A -8, a fluke I tell myself. A -12 in RC, uh oh... My first PT since my official take I got a 162, BUT I got lucky that the section I absolutely tanked, an RC section with another staggering -12.. was the exp. So I lucked out hard. Even still, my Blind Review plummeted, from an upward trend up to 176 down to 168.

I feel like I am stalling out. Fortunately I have signed up for a tutor and am excited for the help but I am worried if I... capped out somehow. Like, am I wasting my time and resources trying to attain a 171+? Is this just the best I can do in a timed setting? Even today, I get back to it and I just hit my averages, -7s and -6s are a constant for me, maybe that is just where I cap at on a normal day? Ugh.
