Hi friends! Just took my first official LSAT. I had a major technological issue which really messed up my focus, and I am unsure how I did.

I am worried I might have to take the LSAT again to get the score I really want, but I also do want to take some time to rest after just taking it.

Does anyone have tips on how to maintain testing skills during downtime? My main concern is that I will take too much time off and then be pushed back again on my studies.

Thanks!

Hi! I’m Aliah. I took the LSAT in November 2025 and didn’t do as well as I hoped, so I’ll be taking it again in February, and possibly June if needed. I’m building a friendly, judgment-free study group where we can share tips, strategies, and motivation.

I already have a study group from November on Microsoft Teams, and I’d love to expand it with virtual study buddies so we can learn from each other and stay accountable. If you’re near CLT/Boone (I’m right in the middle!), I’m open to in-person weekend sessions too.

I currently work at a law firm, so I spend a lot of my days immersed in law, and I hope to bring some of that insight to our sessions. This group is meant to be supportive, collaborative, and fun, perfect for anyone looking to prep without stress or judgment.

Hope to have many joins and study together soon! TEAMS LSAT STUDY GROUP

GPA concerns

I know most of the folks here are more concerned about their LSAT scores than their GPAs, but I'm on the other side of the spectrum. University was a really rough point in my life due to some family stuff and my GPA was heavily affected by it. I saw a post today about how law schools are really going to come down harder on their cut-off points for LSAT scores, and I'm concerned the same will be true for GPAs. Any advice/insight?

Are any other folks in the same boat?

I just started LSAT prep about a month ago, and my PT average is 160, so I think I'm in a decent place to start, but I honestly don't want to spend my time, energy, and money on the LSAT if my GPA is gonna keep me from getting into a law school anyway.

I wish there was a feature so I could set the time allotted to complete a drill so that it is the sum of the target times for each question in the drill. I think the average question target time (I think it's 1:24) times the number of questions is not helpful when you are doing drills full of only high (4 and 5) level questions. For example, I just did a drill where the target times were (1:21, 1:36, 2:49, 1:26 and 2:08, so a total time of 9:10) but the "standard" time automatically allotted for the drill is 7 minutes. Please help!

NYC Study Group

Hey guys, I'm looking to start an NYC-based study group for a small group to get together and work through drills, discuss strategies that are working for us and generally keep one another on track. I am anticipating this to be 1x a week in person.

I am averaging in the mid 160s on PTs right now and will be taking the test in June. If you are in a similar position and are in the area, shoot me a message. Based in Brooklyn but would likely meet in the city for ease of access.

Has anyone else experienced this? I am doing the Reinforce Drills from the generated study plan to get passages I have done poorly on in the past, the automated selection system keeps giving me the same ones to the point where I remember every question without having to read it lol.

Hi all!

I’ve been studying independently for a few weeks, and while it’s very doable, I’d love to connect with others who are on the same LSAT journey. I’m not sure if there’s already a study group in NYC, but if not, I’d be happy to start one—preferably with people in Manhattan. I’m also more than willing to join a group in Brooklyn (off the L train) and rotate locations.

Please feel free to reach out or let me know if you’re part of a study group that’s open to new members. If it helps, I’ll be taking my first test in June!

😖 Frustrated

Applying for the 2026 Cycle

I have been trying to break into the 150s and 160s for LSAT studying but I keep getting stuck at the late 140s. I am having a lot of trouble with logical reasoning and am not sure how to fix it. I am taking the LSAT in February and then taking it again in April. What should I do? What studying techniques should I incorporate? I have been consistently drilling. Every three days I take a day off after studying for two or three hours and working a full time job. Any recommendations?

Drilling/PTs

Hi everyone!

I'm in week 4 of studying. I'm planning to test in June. I took a diagnostic 2 years ago but have not since then. I know I should (probably planning to do so this weekend). But when should I start religiously doing timed PTs/Timed Sections? Am i starting too late? Should I wait until im done with the LR/RC Theory sections? Any advice is welcome! Thanks!

So I am fairly new to the LSAT studying process. I just recently completed the core curriculum last week and begun my first practice block this week. In it I was assigned my first practice exam. As you can see from the results there is a pretty large gap between my raw timed score and my blind review score.

I knew going into it from the drills and practice sections that I had a pretty good understanding of the material and that early on, timing would be my biggest challenge (I didn’t even get to the last RC passage on the PT 😭). Often times in practice it would cause me to rush my answers after about the midway point. However I definitely did not expect there to be this large of a discrepancy between timed and untimed review.

During the blind review I made sure that I completed it without any support from outside sources (notes & lessons) as we are supposed to. So I know this was completely from knowledge.

But my question is how do I close this large gap? I know people will say to just slow down. But is that all there is to it? How can I go about improving my ability under time pressure the proper way?

Any help/advice from anyone who has gone through something similar would be greatly appreciated!

Average Study Time for LSAT ?

hi! i just started studying for my LSAT last Saturday / took a diagnostic test w a score of 144 and BR of 151...I was aiming to take the test in June but a bit concerned this isnt enough time to bump my score? I guess Im just not too sure how much time is sufficient to jump at least 15ish pts from my diagnostic. any advice?

Hi all! I just have a question regarding the proctored PTs that are hosted by 7sage on weekends. For anyone that's taken one with them, do they give out the PT or are you expected to have one ready to take and you just complete your own on the proctored zoom? Just want to be prepared. Thanks!

Study plan extra practice

Hi everyone! Seeking some advice.

I have the study plan that 7Sage generated for me and I am still doing the foundations/core curriculum. Should I also start adding in my own drills? Or wait until I reach the practice phase? For reference I took the January LSAT so I already have a good bit of practice under my belt, but I want to strength my foundations before the April test. Looking to improve 6-10 points.

4.0 MAX GPA Scale

Hi all,

I received my. B.A. in Politics recently and graduated magna cum laude with a 3.804 GPA on my transcript. The school I attended did graded on a "F" to "A" grading scale; there were no "A+" meaning the highest GPA was 4.0 and you could not possibly obtain overa 4.0. During an internship at my local SAO, the DA told me a 3.8 was a low GPA for law school, considering many will have 4.0+. How do I explain that in my LSAT applications? I ONLY got Bs to As on my transcript, but still feel like this may not be good enough. I know it's not a bad GPA, but it's not exceptional. In order to afford law school w/o additonal loans (I have some from undergrad but am under a PAYE repayment plan), I am hoping to receive at least 75% of tutition covered, so I am working to get into the high 160s-low 170s. Will not having a exceptional GPA possibly hurt my chances? I looked at the CAS GPA calculator and there's no grade scale that fits the grading criteria of my undergraduate curriculum, as the letter grade scale goes up to A+. I'm not able to see what the exact percentage I ended a class with was. I appreciate any and all advice and thank you in advance.

Is it okay to read aloud when taking the test remotely? I know they monitor my computer and webcam, and wanted to make sure that wouldn't be seen as cheating or anything?

I've found that I score much better on reading comp when I read aloud than when I don't.
