Hi all.

I need some advice with my study plan.

I have recently finished CC after 5 months of studying; I was only able to study 3 hours daily since I work full time.

Currently I manage to do the 1 or 2 PT(s) per week;

I understand that I would need to focus on Pting with more later version as nearing the actual Test date.

But I wonder if it makes much change(ie. starting from old Pts vs. skip old Pts, use it only for drilling and do newer Pts) at this stage because I presume that whether those PTs are old or new, they are testing the same fundamentals/principles.

Any suggestions?

I would appreciate any advice/comment.

On Thursday, July 27 at 8pm ET, join 7Sage admissions consultant Tajira McCoy for another panel discussion with law school admissions deans from across the country. For this conversation, hear from representatives of Boston College, Emory University, Howard University, Loyola University Chicago, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and Catholic University, as they weigh in on the end of the admissions cycle and the SCOTUS decision on affirmative action.

We hope to see you there!

I’m based outside the U.S., currently prepping for law school apps (Fall 2025 cycle), and already took my first official test. I’d love to connect more directly with international test takers. If you're also studying for a retake, want to share strategies, or just need mutual accountability comment if you're in!

Hey all, I'm in an odd spot with reccommendation letters. I have an old military supervisor and an advisor at my current undergrad insitution that have written really solid letters, but I just cannot seem to get one from a professor. My whole time in undergrad, I've never had the opportunity to take two classes from the same professor. Also, the professors I've gotten to know and who I could ask have a policy aginst writing a letter for anyone unless they've taken two or more of their classes. Law schools really emphasize that applicants should get a letter from a professor if they're still in undergrad, but I'm pretty much stuck without one. Is this something I could write an addendum to explain, or would that make the situation look even worse?

hi! posted this on the new forum as well, but in case it didn't cross-post:

looking for some advice. in the past month and a half, i've scored 180, 180, 179, 173, 175, 171, 171. I feel like I've been studying just as hard and focusing on my weaknesses in the same way that brought me to those high initial scores. I'm not sure what I'm doing differently to account for the drop. I haven't been particularly stressed or overwhelmed, and nothing major has changed in my lifestyle. Maybe the PTs in the late 130s were just easier for me than the ones I'm taking in the 140s?

Has anyone experienced something similar, and do you have any advice? My test is in a month and I'd like to reach my full potential again.

Hello I am Dan, I took the LSAT in February and Scored a 166 and have been scoring above 170 on practice tests. I am planning to take the August and September LSATs with the hope of breaking 170. I am looking for other people who would like to study together 1-3 times a week for about an hour to go over questions and work together. I tend to gain a lot from helping people with questions I got but they missed and vise versa. (Essentially taking turns being the tutor for a few mins) If anyone would like to join please let me know.

Please note: I am mainly looking for others with similar scores so that we may focus on squeezing out those last difficult points. So preferably you have practice or real lsats scores over 165 or higher but it is not required.

hello all! has anyone had the chance to study CC V1 and CC V2 and recommend one more than other? I have taken the LSAT before but I’m studying to take it again so since I am familiar with the test, I was leaning towards V2 to refresh my mind but also want the most detailed. Any suggestions?

Hello! I am unsure when I should take the LSAT so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I am currently a rising junior in college in New York, and I live in CA. I have just started studying for the LSAT, and I prefer to take it in California, not in New York, so that limits the months I can take it. As a student-athlete, I am pretty busy during the school year. Should I use this summer, the upcoming school year (25-26), and next summer to study so I can take it next July or August (2026)? Does this seem like a reasonable plan?

This will be my first time taking it, so I'm wondering if my second time should be the summer after senior year of college/after I graduate, when I am hopefully working as a paralegal or something (before I apply to law school). Idk, I have not really thought out when I should take it a second time. Lmk what you guys think!

Thanks in advance for the input!

Hi!

I am having some trouble at the start of PT to get my head into the test.

Is there any tactics you guys use to get you started? I do warm up with 15q of LR and 2 games.

I feel like its my anxiety mostly that kinda eats me up at the beginning of the test.

For background, I've taken the LSAT twice and scored low 160's both times (albeit my second score was significantly lower than my PT averages). For the last 10 PTs, my average score is 169, peaking at a 175. My average performances are -3.4, -2.3, and -5 in LR, LG, and RC respectively.

I know what I need to do to better my LR and LG scores and I've gotten -0 on these sections before. The issue is I have no idea how to approach RC. My best was a -2 and I don't think I can reach -0 with my current tactics. I've gone through all the curriculum and am stuck because I feel like the only way I can improve in RC is by reading faster and being more attentive. I always aim for the big picture and the low resolution summaries slow me down considerably.

If you have a strategy for RC, even if it is unique, I would love to hear it! This is especially true if you have a strategy/strategies for specific question types on RC since I would love a more focused approach.

Hi everyone,

I’ve been studying for the LSAT consistently but inconsistently for about a year now. I started in the low to mid-140s and have since climbed into the 150s, but I’m aiming to break into the 160 to 165+ range by the September test.

By “consistently but inconsistently,” I mean that I’ve tried to study as regularly as possible, but I haven’t had a full two-week stretch of uninterrupted, focused prep during that time. Due to personal life changes, working 20 to 30 hours a week, and maintaining some extracurriculars post-grad, my schedule has been pretty fragmented. I know this has likely contributed to my score plateau.

Right now, I usually try to complete one timed LR section and one timed RC section per week, along with some drilling and review. I also keep a wrong answer journal, although it sometimes feels tedious and time-consuming. For resources, I’ve used The LSAT Trainer for RC, completed the 7Sage curriculum last summer, and worked through The Loophole.

At this point, I’m feeling a bit frustrated that my score has been stuck in the low 150s for a few months. If any of you have broken through a similar plateau in a short time frame (1 to 2 months), I’d really appreciate any tips. Whether it’s study schedules, habits, tricks, or anything else that helped you see a jump, I’m open to suggestions.

Thanks in advance, and best of luck to everyone studying right now!

As my title suggests, I'm wondering what the odds are of either one of these occuring, if I had to guess, id say 3 lr section is a little more common than 2 lr but thats just speculation. Im equally good (actually bad) at both sections, but LR is way more fun for me, something about the RCs are just very annoying, not harder but Id rather do 3 LRs, so I find i try to take the 3 LR section PTs rather than 2 LR ones. Added a poll too because no one ever uses them and I think theyre cool

Hey all,

I took the June LSAT and ended up getting a 164, which for me was not ideal. I am attempting the LSAT again this August with the hopes of scoring 172 or above. It may be a stretch, but I'm willing to put in the work. For me personally, I feel like my LR performance needs some improvement, though we can also go over RC if needed.

My timezone is EST, but people from other zones are also welcome. I am looking to study consistently Monday through Friday and then dedicate the weekend for a practice exam and blind review. We can work out the exact timings of the meetings later once enough people have joined. If anyone is in the same boat as I am, feel free to send me your discord tag so that I can add you to my server.

Hi everyone! A few of us have planned dates to write PT'S together and then review as a group. We've selected to do Wednesdays, more specifically July 19th and July 26th. If successful we will plan more going forward.

We are open to planning more, or having additional silent study meets throughout the week.

Most of us are studying for the September writing date!

If you'd like to join our group, let me know! :)

I recently took the June Lsat, I consistently scored between 160-163 on the four or five consecutive practice exams I took prior to my test. I ended up getting a 156 on the actual exam. I dont know if this drop may have been due to nerves (I had technical issues the day of my exam and was not able to start for an hour after my shceduled time and this had me very anxious and stressed). I took all PTs under real testing and time conditions. I wish there were a way to review my official LSAT and see which questions I missed etc. I am already registered for the August exam, this time at a testing center, and I'm hoping for a 160+. Any tips on what to do this time around? Im scared to not study effectively and just waste my time, I feel like I've done every LSAT question there is. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Hi All,

I am trying to aim at the low 160s and I seem to get a handful of 2/3 LR Questions wrong in my PTs. I am drilling the first 15 LR Qs (15 min for 15 Qs) and wondering if yall have tips of mastering these "easier" Questions compared to 4/5 Star LR ones.
