so likeeee help. I'm signed up for the sept lsat but I am just now revisiting my studying. I took a class from may-july and don't feel like i really improved. I got really discouraged and i'm just now getting back into studying. i'm nervous that i'm not going to do well on the lsat. i work a full time job and i'm not sure if taking it next week is smart... but i also don't want to wait too long that it will affect my likelihood of getting into a school. i have a high gpa but i really am struggling with this lsat stuff. i work a full-time job so i don't have much time for studying. any advice here????

Hi everyone!

I'm writing the October test and hoping for a 170+. I feel like I'm close but really need to improve my timed accuracy. For example, my two most recent PTs were 168 timed and 173 BR & 166 timed and 177 BR. If you've been in a similar position I'd love to hear how you improved!!

Thanks in advance :)

Hi - specific idea here, if anyone aligns with this and is interested please reach out:

I am a career flipper, I’m 43, taking test in Nov. I’m PT’ing in the 150’s and my goal is 165 by Nov.

I struggle with the patience to BR, and my primary issue is I give up a lot of questions early on in a LR section that I should be getting.

Idea here:

-drill set or timed LR section

-BR together

-review AC’s

I’m in EST, work full time, so my availability is between 5-7 EST on weeknights, mostly open on weekends but this is when I PT.

Thanks!

My first diagnostic was a 165, and after months of studying I'm still averaging 168. I've gotten a few PTs between 170-174, but I'm really consistently getting 168s. I feel so stuck! Is this just how it is when you're trying to get 170+? Do I just need to drill more of the question types I'm stuck on? More time on wrong answer journaling? What's been helping you the most?

Ive been studying throughout the summer taking PTs once a week and i was making good progress. I started at 158 in may, climed through the 160s throughout the summer and reached 171 and 174 two weeks ago. This past week and this week, however, I have dropped back into the 160s on three tests and dont know what to do, I feel like ive regressed, I was going to take it in september but now I think i have to delay it. What can i do?

Hello! I am feeling very down. I have been studying my butt off, doing so well on drills and today my PT dropped pretty significantly. I dont know why or how this could even happen! Im very mad at myself right now that I could let my PT score drop. I finally was feeling a bit confident and then I saw my raw score and gasped. Has this ever happened to anyone else? How do you bith recover from this and get better?

as the title says, there are wild inconsistencies between my sections and idk how to fix them. If i take a full timed pt, ill do ok on the first 2 sections (or even the first half of a section) but i'll bomb the rest. It all starts to feel like words on a page after this point. To put it in perspective, the ranges im talking about is from -6 to -16 in the same test.... (for both lr and rc). atp idk how to fix this my test is coming up in oct and i need to do something. like ill take 1 single section timed and get a -6-8 (ok for me) but ill take a pt and do ok on 1 or 2 sections but bomb the rest. also i should mention that im using accommodation timing and ive noticed that since starting accommodation timing my scores have dropped. plz help any advice is useful

For the last 5 PTS, I have been getting 167-172, but 177-179 on BR, simply because I eliminate down to two answers and pick the wrong one on the test, and the right one on BR. I'm only missing 4-5 star questions and timing isn't an issue. I'm not sure what to do, should I just pick the answer I don't like as much? Any advice is appreciated!

As I work through RC passages, I am constantly reminded of the importance of low res summaries. However, I've also noticed that my lower-quality low-res paragraph summaries can skew my interpretation of the following paragraph summaries and significantly distort my initial intuition for understanding the passage.

For example, in the third passage in the critic/debate style RC lesson module, I did not intuitively pick up on the second paragraph demonstrating the central idea that corporation responsibility is derived from individual responsibility. In fact, I actually thought it was author's voice giving some credibility to the economist/s perspective because they were making a distinction between the morality of individuals and the morality (or lack there of) innate to corporations. As a result, the third paragraphs discussion of CEO's relation to corporation was somewhat confusing to me as I tried to consider it within the wider text and main point of the passage.

My goal is to improve my low-res capture skills so that they assists my comprehension instead of misleading my perceptions in subsequent paragraphs. Does anyone have any tips for improving my low-res summaries? More importantly, does anyone have any tips for noticing when you're formulating a bad low-res summary in the moment so they can be quickly addressed and corrected?

Hey all! Looking for suggestions for external reading to help gain a broader understanding when it comes to reading comp. Does anyone have suggestions for any books, journals, news sources that you've read consistently that help you broaden your general knowledge of law, arts, sciences, economics etc? Thanks :)

Hi everyone, if anyone is interested in a virtual study group, it doesnt matter where you are from! either respond to this comment or just send me a message and i will add you to the chat!

Hey there,

I want to check on whether I'm evaluating my LSAT progress and scoring potential correctly.

Basically, I've been averaging two versions of my score: 1) my score if the experimental section were my worst performing section and 2) my score if the experimental section were my best performing section.

I started doing this because I noticed the experimental section would often wind up being the anomaly among my sections. In other words, I felt like my practice test score would be due to a huge amount of good luck or bad luck!

My question is, is it reasonable to track my progress this way? I really wanted to ask today because I've gotten the biggest discrepancy between these two versions of my scores yet. One is a 171 and one is a 179. I got a full score on two LRs, -2 on the one RC, and -5 on one LR. The experimental section was one of the LRs I got a full score on. So the actual score, where the experimental section is left as originally is, is a 171.

But the average (175) is the biggest improvement I've seen, so I do want to believe that I've made some good progress. But if I'm evaluating my scores wrong and I really should only be paying attention to the 171, I need to face the facts haha.

I appreciate your advice.

I wish there was a way when taking the exam to have scrap paper to take notes on. Ideally psychical but I could still settle for virtual. I don't know if I'm the only one struggling otherwise. Whenever I PT with scrap paper/notes, I do significantly better. Test day is around the corner so I'm pretty nervous without accommodations!

Just wondering if anyone else is having the same struggles.

I’d love the ability to edit PT answers after completing a test. During my last PT, the site glitched and skipped straight to BR after Section 3, so I wasn’t able to enter my Section 4 answers and include them in analytics.

It would also be really helpful to have a way to view all of our notes on one single page, similar to the classic 7Sage setup.

Thank you!

When I started this journey 8 months ago, I diagnostic tested at 139 overall. I spent 3 months fumbling with a shitty program of study using a completely different program and was getting nowhere. Fast forward to today (5 months post-7sage) and I PT'd a 149. 10 point increase is great, but man do I have so much more work to do. This is not a boast. I am genuinely concerned that while I am gaining fundamental skill in taking this test...I am not going to be able to achieve my desired score of 165 by the November test. Advice please.

Riverside County in California. LSAT study group. LSAT Fall 2025.

What are they and how do I get better at these? Really confused, the platform makes no mention of link assumption unless I am just missing it

I just moved to London and plan to be studying full-time for the LSAT. I'd love to start an in-person or online study group (though I have a slight preference for an in-person study group) and was wondering if anyone else is on a similar journey here in the UK!

going for a november test....eeeeekkk!!!

Hey - Is anyone in the Kansas City area also preparing for the LSAT? I’m planning to take it next year and thought it would be great to find a study buddy (or a small group) to stay motivated and support each other on this journey.

I’m flexible so we can meet at a library, coffee shop, or even virtual if that’s easier. If you’re interested, let me know!

Hi everyone, I am hoping to take the November LSAT. If anyone is interested in creating a study group, where we can keep each other accountable and/or meet each other in person/virtually to work on anything we can help each other with, reply to this message, and I can create a groupchat!

Hey everyone! 😊 I'm looking to start a study group Monday through Friday after 6 PM. Would anyone be interested in joining? Let me know! 📚✨

Does anyone have (or know) a good structure for creating Low-res summaries for each paragraph in a passage. I find myself getting lost in the words and extrapolating information i do not need or missing the information I do need.

I'm not sure if I should apply this year with my LSAT score, my stats are that I have a 155 LSAT and 3.59 GPA, which I know isn't the worst but I also know that it significantly limits my options for law schools. My top picks are University of Oregon and Lewis and Clark, or Loyola in CA, but I'm not sure if I should apply this year or study and apply next year with a 160+ score. I do want to go to law school as soon as possible though, but I'm not sure if my stats are good enough.

Join me Friday at 12ET for a free admissions live class on what your personal statement needs to accomplish. I'll also be live-reacting to personal statements users have submitted to teach you the tips and tricks that make admissions officers fall in love.
