I know that 176 is a great score, however before the test in June I had got 3/4 180s on PTs. I am a splitter for the T-14s (3.6 gpa, math major). I graduated back in 2021, so I think I count as non-traditional. I looked on the admissions predictor and a 180 vs a 176 could raise my chances by 10-20% at top schools. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I'm still kinda on the sidelines about the enitre "going to law school" thing, and I just took my first full PrepTest with no practice/knowledge about the LSAT. I got a score of 163, and I was wondering if it would be worth for me to spend my time and energy on studying for the LSAT... I don't really want to take the exam multiple times, and I would preferably take the June 2026 exam.
Would it be unreasonable for me to shoot for a mid-170s for the June 2026 exam based on what I have right now?
I just started studying for the LSAT, and will take it in September. My diagnostic test was a 173, and my second prep test was 168. What's the best way for me to improve my score and my consistency? Does it make sense to go through the entire 7Sage curriculum, or should I skip the basics and just focus on my areas of weakness?
Although I was able to get the right answer, I am not sure if my identification of the main conclusion was correct. Can anybody help me with this, please. Thank you in advance!!

This seems like a waste of time....? It's literally the exact same section, but 7sage said it's a section designed around my priority areas of focus. Am I suppose to redo a section because I did poorly...? Feels confusing to be relooking at questions I half remember answering.
Hey y'all,
I started taking practice tests about 2-3 weeks ago. For practically all my tests outside of my diagnostic, I've been scoring between 165-168. I spoke with a few of my friends that either attend law school or are working in the field already, and identified a few aspects that I thought would help me score higher, and possibly break the 170 barrier.
With newfound knowledge in mind, I took a test yesterday, and to my surprise, I scored 174! I'm almost certain this is a fluke, though. I don't think one can achieve a 6 point jump and maintain it consistently.
Including my diagnostic, I've only taken 10 tests though, so my sample size is small. Because of that, I don't feel confident I'll know my actual scoring range until I have several more tests under my belt.
My question: For those of you who aimed at and broke past a certain score threshold after plateauing, did you find your scores tend to stay past that threshold? Alternatively, did you find your performance was a fluke and your average scores surpass that goal some time after that first time breaking the threshold?
I'm most definitely not planning on using my most recent score as an excuse to slow things down, but I also want to know how other people in the community "knew" they had gotten over their humps.
Hi all,
Looking for some input on which PTs to prioritize. I have access up to PT59 via 7Sage and also have a few in the late 60’s/early 70’s through a friend that come with Kaplan written explanations. I know the most recent ones are more reflective of the actual test, but I feel like I learn better from 7sage’s explanations.
What would y’all recommend? I plan to go through the other group in timed sections/drilling regardless but trying to decide which to focus on for my final 5 full-length PTs.
Thanks in advance!
Hello, I am currently scoring 161 and have tried to join study groups in the past but unfortunately, they have become inactive or study at different times than I do. I study in the evenings east coast time starting at 4 pm ET to nighttime. Is there anyone else who would like to study together in the evenings and keep each other accountable? We could do it over zoom, discord or even WhatsApp. If anyone is interested, please DM me.
Looking a study buddy in the Indy area, but am open to studying with others via Skype. I am pretty dedicated and looking for person with whom I and he/she can keep each other focused when we get antsy and want to go do other things. Also bounce ideas and problems off each other. if anyones interested let me know!
Best,
Jake
I was down to A and C, and the answer is A, but I chose C.
I'm having a difficult time understanding why A is the answer and C is wrong.
I mean I thought both could be answers.
Can someone please explain me?
Thanks!
Hey guys, please help
I have been looking for a LR question that I did (I have impression because I spent 3 mins on it during blind review and it is pretty tough) but I couldn't find it even after I have gone through the entire question bank. I remember starring the explanation, but when I looked again it is just not there. I am getting super super confused right now.
Here are my clues: It is either PMR or parallel flaw, and I think less than 50% people got it right. I don't remember what the stimulus is, but the the correct answer choice is C and it has to do with something like city figure and crime rate.
JY also excliplitly stated that we should skip this question and not waste time on it during real test because it is extremely time-consuming.
Anyone has an idea?
Thanks!
WV resident looking for someone to meet up with to study in person occasionally. Located in north central WV but willing to meet up within a reasonable driving distance.
Currently about 2 months into pretty relaxed studying but looking to create more structure/accountability.
If this sounds interesting reach out whenever!
does anyone know when this PT will be published?
Hi! I'm taking the LSAT on Monday. My RC has always fluctuated, and I am hoping to practice with a really difficult section to make sure I'm ready for a worst-case scenario. Does anyone know of any particular RC sections that are science- and law-heavy and/or just have a lot of hard-to-spot inference questions? Thanks so much, and if you're taking October too, you got this!! <3
I had to withdraw from all of my classes halfway through my third semester of university because of a traumatic accident which left me with a severe concussion and broken collarbone. This fact is described in my personal statement, though it is not the main topic.
Would it be advisable to also explain the 'W's on my transcript from this time through a addendum, or would that be over-kill?
When looking at the answer choices for SA questions would it be OK to immediately eliminate those that begin with only, always, no, etc.?
I am confused by question 8. I was down to C and E, ultimately chose E, but only due to pure luck.
I don't know why C is supported but E is not.
The potential support for C is in line 23, where it says "one problem in studying the effects of drilling waste discharges..." But it just says there is a problem in studying. It doesn't say that the study is done. Perhaps the study wasn't done due to the problem. Who knows? Another potential support is just the whole second and third paragraphs of Passage B. They tell us that WBM is less harmful than OBM to the environment. That potentially implies that a study was done?
The potential support for E is in line 32, where it says that Drilling mud is normally released during the drilling phase of a well's existence. We know that the mud is discharged, although we don't know if it is continuously discharged into the sea.
To me, C and E both have weak support. I don't know why C is more supported than E.

Hi all, I graduated in 2025, worked at a tinyyyy Personal Injury firm for 10 months (under an amazing attorney/leader- and I was very involved in the lifespan of each case). I recently switched (4 months ago) to a very administrative role in big law (supporting an attorney in their day to day tasks). How should I frame this experience for my applications- people tell me to try to get involved in substantive work here and talk ab it in my apps (have been here for short time- and would like to apply in Sept.) idk how to position myself best, and how to make an impact in my apps with my experience ?
Hi everyone,
I’m currently signed up for the November LSAT, but I’ve been feeling really stuck and could use some advice. My practice test scores are still in the 140s, and even though I’ve been studying consistently, I’m not seeing the improvement I was hoping for. I’m aiming for at least a 157, but right now that feels out of reach.
I’ve been using 7Sage to go through the core curriculum and drilling with LSAT Demon (Basic plan), mostly focusing on Logical Reasoning and some Reading Comprehension. But honestly, I’m not sure I really know how to study. I watch the videos, do drills, and review my answers — but I don’t feel like I’m learning how to avoid the same mistakes or actually build better habits.
Reading Comprehension is by far my worst section. I feel like I’m always running out of time or just completely missing the structure and purpose of the passages. Logical Reasoning is a bit better, but I’m still not where I want to be.
I’m thinking about upgrading my Demon plan in October to get access to live classes and more targeted help, but I’m also wondering if I need to change how I’m approaching my studying in general.
If anyone has broken out of the 140s — especially using Demon or 7Sage — I’d really appreciate hearing what worked for you. How did you improve your Reading Comp? How did you review in a way that actually led to progress?
Thanks in advance — I really want to make this happen, but I know I need to work smarter if I’m going to reach my goal by November.
So I am taking the LSAT in September with the new revised model, so I am skipping the LG sections and focusing hard on LR and RC. I wanted to ask what is the best routine to integrate drills into the study session.
I hear a lot of the drills come from PT, and burning though Drills means come PT time, you have essentially already seen some of the questions prior (do I have this right?).
So I wanted to ask if this is the same for post August PTs aswell, and for those taking it without LR, how are you using your PTs and Drills
Any help is valued. Thanks!
Hi everyone ! I signed up to take the powerscore live class for the October lsat and I'm wondering if anyone here has taken it before ? I've written the lsat twice and exam anxiety got the best of me the last time... 7 sage has been really helpful so far but I'm determined to get in this cycle and I think that an in-person class would be helpful.
If anyone's taken it before, do you have any tips/recommendations ? I scored in the 140 the first time I wrote it (I was 18 and didn't study at all), and the second time I Had an anxiety attack in the middle of the exam because I thought I filled the bubbles in wrong.
I know that it's an exam you need to learn and not study and I'm slowly trying to shift gears into thinking that way this time around. But if anyone has taken the powerscore exam while using the 7sage course I would love your thoughts and how/if doing both programs together helped your score.
I wanted to see the reason why I got rid of B and D is correct.
B ) "The qualities enabling a person to be elected to public office" -
Descriptively incorrect. The premise never said her past antinuclear record is the quality that enabled her to be elected?
D) "It leads to the further but unacceptable conclusion that any project favored by major smith should be sanctioned simply on the basis of her having spoken out in favor of it"
Descriptively incorrect. Premise did say we should build the nuclear plant not because Mayor smith favored it but because Mayor Smith "who supported antinuclear record" favored it.

So when did you all start taking the practice tests? Did you first finish the lessons then proceed onto the practice tests?
Sorry, I had a question but it was answered and there's no option to delete. Please ignore this
Howdy! I'm a senior at UTSA, majoring in Global Affairs. Planning to take the test in June '25 and applying to UT Austin for the fall of '26. Anyone in my neck of the woods looking to connect?
