I attended the NYC LSAC Forum this past weekend, and I stopped by the 7Sage table (for the merch wheel) and also to receive some tips on my LSAT test taking.

I have this issue of scoring relatively high in PTs (168-172) and then not scoring that high when I take the actual test (lower 160s). When I talked to one of the kind people behind the table, I received the advice that I should set a timer on my phone while I take the test and leave it in another room. So when doing practice tests, I leave my phone with a timer in a different room of my house. When the timer goes off, I have to force myself to stand up, turn off the timer, and return to my test. It takes away time from the test and I also have a sense of impending doom being held over my head because I don't know when the timer's going to go off. The anticipation at least for me translates to anxiety so I have a better gauge of how my performance will look like on the day of the test.

This way, I can better stimulate the anxiety of taking the actual LSAT (and impending doom) and figure out what I need to do in order to stay on top of it.

I took a practice test that way, and it has helped me to isolate what exactly I need to focus on so that I can be ready for my next test date. I don't know if this is helpful for anyone else, but I thought I'd put it out there into the ether.

Also, I unfortunately do not remember the name of the person who I talked to, but THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Edit: Explaining the tip further.

I scored a 172! Super surprised since I felt terrible after writing it -- this is your sign to not freak out until AFTER you see your score. Thank you 7sage!

I’m really upset right now because 7sage had been charging me for a subscription since June even though I completely stopped using its premium features because I couldn’t since it had been a year since I purchased the LSAC material. 7sage gave me the notification that I could not use my account without having the LSAC material so I took it to mean I was no longer subscribed to the premium. But I was wrong and now have been charged for over 5 months. How can I get a refund??

Hi everyone! I'm Ezra, and I scored a 180 on the September LSAT, so the grind of PTs, blind review, and wrong-answer journaling is still very fresh for me. I tutored economics in college, and have been tutoring the LSAT since I took the exam. I love teaching the exam and I think the LSAT can be a fun and engaging challenge with the right approach. I firmly believe that with a strong foundation, good study habits, and proper dedication, most people can reach their goal scores.

My specialty is closing gap between blind review and timed scores, and building personalized and highly effective study plans. These were key to how I scored a 180 and I have put a lot of hours into developing tactics for them. Reaching a high score on the LSAT requires a holistic approach that goes beyond making sure you understand the questions. Success is also largely about tactics for performing under timed pressure. If you're regularly getting questions right in blind review that you are missing under time, or your PT scores are plateauing short of where you know they should be, I am here to help!

How I work:

• We start by assessing your performance and how you are studying, to pin down where you could improve. This is a process of targeting gaps and strengths in your understanding, study methods, and execution.

• We will work on tailoring our sessions so that they work best for you. Everyone learns best differently, and we will spend time making sure that your study time is spent optimally and efficiently.

• I am offering 1-on-1 sessions. I prefer 90-minute sessions, but can do 60-minutes as well if you have less time.

Rates:

I am currently pricing my 60-minute sessions at $60 and 90-minute sessions at $85.

Has anybody else had issues submitting a transcript for a study abroad experience. I spent a month in France and the institution isn't on Parchment. Also, it's just under the "other institutions" category, not international institution. Not sure if I made an error when I first made my account, or how I'm supposed to get a French university to send a transcript to LSAC.

I've already emailed LSAC and the institution, but curious if anyone else has dealt with this/has advice!

Hi Everyone,

I was wondering if other people are having the same issue of the highlighting pop-up when you select some text not popping up. Could you please help me resolve this?

Thank you

I have roughly a month left in my study plan before I begin the practice section. I plan on taking the February LSAT and I am aiming for a 170+. I have access to both powerscore bibles, free of charge, at my college library. Is it worth the time to read both of those books or should I stick to 7Sage studying?

Took PT 145. My BR/untimed is still 175+, but I just bombed another prep test. This one feels especially discouraging because I've been getting really confident in anticipating correct AC's and really breaking down the underlying logic to the arguments in the passages. Maybe it's the time pressure? Idk what to do. Open to tips as always.

For the past month, my LR has been a weakness and my RC has been a strength. I went from averaging -4 on LR to -2. My RC stayed pretty stable at -2 or even -1 or 0 at times. Of course, in this PT153 I ace the experimental section, do pretty well in LR, and have an unusually poor scored RC section. This has happened to me once before on PT150. Do I just need to keep trying and one of these days I'll be saved by the unscored section or is there something I should do to avoid this kind of situation? Maybe more RC practice? If I just did how I normally do on RC I would have easily scored in the 170s.

I’m curious on testing day, we use electronic testing …so a computer, is it a touchscreen or a mouse or a mouse pad? Can anybody tell me that I just want to make sure I’m practising in the method in which I’m going to be tested

I think it would be helpful if we were able to easily click to the next question within a certain priority tag when looking at a question explanation. Right now, if I filter for specific tags, the filters will give me a list of the questions I have done for those tags, when I click on a question it'll open up the question & explanation for that question alone. This (new) option on the question & explanation page would allow us to go through that tag alone while staying on the same tab/page.

When I review my WAJ I go through specific tags one at a time, the filters are great for narrowing down to the questions I need to review, usually I either open a bunch of tabs to review the different questions or sometimes go back the list . Having the option to move back and forth on the same page would eliminate the need to do either one. So instead of just being able to go to the next question in the section we can also review that specific tag.

I hope I explained that properly

taking the november lsat and just took my first full length practice test. Is there any way to study timing? I find myself takin gtoo long on the easier questions and thehn being pressed at the end.

Hello!, I am curious if anyone knows how reporting academic probation should work. I attended community college a decade ago so I very faintly recall having an academic probation for one or two semesters (due to so some personal issues at that time). However both on my official transcript and unofficial transcript from the school, there is no mention of it. Should I reach out to my old community college and if they don't have it in their records but I somehow have a memory of it, should I still include a character and fitness statement for it? I have some bad grades that I was going to explain in the GPA addendum but I don't want universities to think I intentionally hid anything.

I am looking for a Black American tutor to help me get to my 165 goal score

Hello,

I'm looking to tutor someone in NYC--someone new to studying or scoring below where they want to--to improve my own understanding of the test and get me to my goal score. I've taken a few PTs and have scored in the low and mid 170s. I'll buy you a coffee and pastry. I'm fun too! Pm me if you're interested.

Kindly,

Liam

I am looking to find a motivated study group in OC to encourage each other, meet to study together and hold each other accountable.

So happy to meet Bailey in person at the NYC LSAC Forum! She is the sweetest!

I am new to this LSAT journey and I started the Law Hub Prep Test 140 about 2 1/2 weeks ago. I completed the first section at a café and immediately realized how difficult the LSAT is lol. I took about a week off before I did the second section again at a café and thought I probably didn’t do that well. Then I took another week off and in that time became very anxious as I learned more about the LSAT and realized that I’m most likely going to score low. Tonight around 9 PM I crash-coursed the last two sections and I ended with the score of 136. I’m looking for some advice and/or people’s experience of a similar low score and any tips on how to not feel so bad about the low score and also feel hopeful that I can get into the high 160s that my plan is by September of 2028.

I had a colleague review my essays and offer criticism. She offered note on revised a little here and there and added EM dashes. After looking up how to properly use them, I added a few of my own to help make parts of my personal statement more concise. I know the known assumption tends to be that ChatGPT wrote your essays if it includes EM dashes. Would it be better to remove them before submitting my application, so that admissions does not think I used AI to write my essays?

Hi everyone!

My name is Nicolas and I'm here to help you reach your LSAT goals. I scored a perfect 180 on the August 2026 LSAT (screenshot below), and my initial diagnostic score was a 158. I take on students at a rate of $40-$60/hour with bundle discounts. I have been tutoring since my test and have tutored many students for the LSAT.

What I bring to the table:

• Perfect 180 Mastery: I want to help you reproduce the skills and study strategies that helped me get to a 180.

• Tailored Strategy: Whether you are struggling with test-taking strategy or need help working out specific questions, I can help you. I help students build a wrong answer journal and a customized study plan that actually helps them improve. During sessions I teach students how to analyze questions in a piecemeal fashion and fix their approach to different question types, improving accuracy and overcoming plateaus.

• Affordable Coaching: I also work for a major test prep company, but you receive the same service at a fraction of the cost.

Who this is for:

• Students currently stuck in the 140s, 150s, or 160s looking for the breakthrough strategies to hit the 170+ threshold.

• Beginners who want to build a flawless foundational framework right from the start.

About me: I am a Cornell senior, veteran debater, and coffee fiend with passions for Middle Eastern history and literature.

For reference, part 2 is here.

Trying to get all of my materials gathered to submit applications over the next couple days. Am I still in the “early” window? As in, early enough for it to be advantageous?

I'm confident I am not alone when I say I feel like I shit the bed with the Oct LSAT and anticipate it being lower than my existing score. However, after being sick post-test and beating myself up too much, it's time to get back into the game and hone in on my weaknesses before the Nov LSAT (T-minus 27 days!).

Here's to putting a good foot forward, trying my best, and being okay with whatever happens throughout this journey. Affirmations:

• this test does not define you

• be okay with whatever is

• the universe has my back

• I will become a lawyer one day, regardless of where I go to school

• people are going to remember how you made them feel, not where you went to school

• I am choosing to take this test (not only once, but three times lol) - no one is forcing me to do so

If anyone needs to vent, I'm here! Enjoy this film photo I took of the red rocks amphitheater this past weekend (and feel free to use it as a LinkedIn background or something if you live in CO) - there is so much more out there than this test :)
