I just scored a 162 on PT147.
Hello! Does anyone have tried and true advice on closing the gap between PT and BR scores? My recent PT scores are in the low-to-mid 160s, but I am consistently scoring 175+ on BR.
If it is helpful, my target score is 165, and I will be taking the June LSAT. This last month of preparation will be very intensive for me, so any advice is welcome.
Thanks!
Hello!
I've been studying for the LSAT since January of this year. I took the LSAT in April to test the waters and scored a 155. Testing remotely was a nightmare and the nerves/technical difficulties got the better of me. But I also barely cracked the 160s during my practice tests. So, to reach my target score, I need to change my strategy.
I'm planning to retake in August and would like to find a tutor that can help me come up with a winning strategy, and diagnose and tackle my weaknesses.
Ideally, I'm looking for one to two sessions per month. I'd prefer to find a tutor based in Canada who also charges their rate in Canadian dollars (the exchange rate to USD is awful).
Thank you all for your time!
I’m starting a beginner‑level LSAT study group in Louisville, KY, and I’m looking for others who are just beginning their official prep. We’ll meet both in person and virtually, and anyone who is not in the same city or state is encouraged to join virtually. This group is for anyone at the very start of their LSAT journey who wants a supportive space to build foundational skills, share strategies, and stay motivated.
If you’re interested in joining or want more details, feel free to reach out.
Is it possible to blind review the questions you got wrong on PT's that you import from Lawhub? Trying to figure it out but it seems like there's no official blind review just the ability to review the blank question itself. Any guidance would be super helpful!
Sorry if this is already a feature I'm missing, but if not, it would be great to do the lessons just on what you struggle with (based on the prep test analytics). I find that I spend a lot of time doing lessons on things that I don't struggle with, and I would love to be able to just see which lessons would be recommended for me.
Please note that this is in beta. LSAC is in the process of updating their tester and we'll keep pace.
I wrote the April LSAT, but scored below my floor. My typical test results range from 154-158. During my test I suffered a complete RC collapse which led to many unanswered questions.
Going into the test I recognized that RC was volatile, and began to pinpoint problem areas in LR. I was not fully prepared for that April test, but I wanted to have a test on file, take it remote while I could, go through the experience, and was hopeful I would score 158-162 as my drilling in the weeks prior was showing good improvements.
While 153 is close to my prep test range (154-158), that score does not really open many doors in terms of admissions, and I do not feel that it was an accurate measure of my ability.
I think I will not write in June to have more time to prepare for August. I am new to 7Sage and want to go through the lesson library and a full study plan so that I am comfortable next time I test. Going forward I am going to remove bad habits that distract from my studying and play into a poor attention span (aka reducing screen time and avoid social media).
So what is worse, the 153, or a cancel.
My target score is 162-165. Individual LR have ranged from 70-85%, RC 55-70%.
I made an lsat discord 5 days ago and we have about 30 members who actively study everyday anyone can join no matter what your level or skill so far it has yielded good results for those that joined. I am a mid 160 scorer and enjoy helping how I can and I am usually in vc streaming notes or drilling during the day. SEE YOU THERE https://discord.gg/PbDgMJzuV
Hello everyone, I am offering LSAT tutoring at $40/hour. I scored a 171 on my LSAT after having a 154 diagnostic. I was able to achieve big jumps quickly through really targeting my flaws. I study philosophy and mathematics, so have a lot of experience with logical reasoning. I like explaining questions using proper logical notation, which once understood can skyrocket scores.
Feel free to reach out to me to schedule a quick call to see if we are a good fit.
Work great with anyone:
• In the 150s aiming for 165+
• In the 160s trying to break into 170+
• Having trouble figuring out flaws that you need to overcome
Hello!
There's often a large gap between my PTs and my BRs. My PT scores tend to be in the high 160s, and the BRs tend to be in the high 170s.
On most blind reviews, it's almost immediately obvious what the right answer is, and I can identify why the actual choice I made was wrong.
I believe stress and anxiety from the timer negatively impacts my performance.
In spite of having taken dozens of practice tests at this point (not all of which were on 7Sage), and having done a considerable amount of drills, sections, and reading/watching videos, my current average PT score (167) is lower than my initial diagnostic (no studying at all) score of 168.
Endurance also may contribute to the PT/BR gap. My mind sometimes starts to wander while I'm taking the PTs.
Do any of you have advice for overcoming the timer anxiety? Do any have advice for keeping your mind from wandering?
Thank you!
Hi all! I am going to be in DC from May-August doing an internship. I will also be studying for the LSAT and would love to put together a group that is available to meet in person consistently. If you are in the DC area and would be interested in a study group, please message me!
My BR PT scores are telling me that I understand the material but am struggling under timed conditions. I just did a very off-feeling PT where my score was a little disappointing but where I BR'd to a 174. I think many of these were because I was between two answers and selected incorrectly. Can you guys give me some inspiration for timed drills that can help me get my speed up? I am registered to take the June test, hopefully I'm not in too bad of a spot. Thank you!

I hate the new interface so I submitted feedback sharing my feelings, I believe if LSAC knows enough people feel the same way it's possible changes will be made. Submit your feedback here!
Is anyone else concerned/frustrated with the new law hub interface? I just took my first practice section in the new interface... I have my concerns.
First, why did they make it extremely inconvenient to "block out" wrong answers? It took me on average 15-30 more seconds per question, simply because I had to keep clicking back and forth to be able to "block out" wrong answers, and go back to being able to choose the right answer.
To try and combat this I was going to highlight why I chose the wrong answer (as I normally do in the practice), and now that's not an option either. Which brings me to my second issue... why can we not highlight in the answer choice anymore? this was extremely useful for going back to flagged questions, as I would highlight certain words in the 2 AC's I was stuck between.
The test is already difficult in its self, I feel like they should have just kept the eye symbol to "block out" wrong answers. this new feature definitely does not make my experience "smoother and easier", it makes it more time consuming.
I think the fact it has more accessibility regarding color filters, font, etc. is awesome, but the aforementioned changes are burdensome and borderline unnecessary.
Hi! I've just completed a Masters of Science in Legal Studies with a concentration in Intellectual Property. I had intended to get this degree just to work as a legal aid at a law firm, but I think that I want to actually go to law school now. Will this degree prevent me from being able to go? Will law schools disapprove of it? Thanks for any help you can give me.

Hi! I have 1.5x time. Is that reflected in my timing statistics and targets in analytics?
Just went through my wrong answers and those are the worst for me. It’s just so hard to answer bc it’s less objective!
Hello,
Looking for a tutor, with many years of experience and free time to tutor, to help me increase to a 165 on the LSAT. I took the April exam and got a 148. I am taking August and hoping for 163+ . Please comment and help me !
Hey all, I took my writing portion late for the April test, how long will it take for them to approve my sample and release my score? Thanks!
First of all thank you so much for adding the new LawHub interface!!
I understand it is in Beta but a pause button is going to be added soon right?
I first entered the 150s in late March. Then, almost a week later, I got a 153. Then another 153. Now a 154. I took section 1 of PT 127 and got a Preptest equivalent of a 154. I just want to enter the 160s. I've started focusing on on flaw reasoning and reconcile questions. Now I'm focusing on weakening and strengthening, the latter I'm struggling with, but I'm starting to let go of my mindset that the answer has to explicitly prove the conclusion, and I feel like I'm performing better. I just don't understand why I'm not improving. In this section, I took the advice of people here, focusing on accuracy over quantity. So I spent more time than I would have pressed for time. I had more answers left unanswered compared to other PTs ( really, 3 more), but I got 17 correct out of the 19 intentionally chosen. (22 with blind review). The rest I guessed on without looking at the questions due to lack of time and got none right lol. If you have any tips, specifically on time and calming yourself down due to anxiety on tests. Thanks in advance
