Hello everyone I am new here and just starting my LSAT journey and plan on taking the September exam. I'm trying to customize a study schedule to guide me as I am completely lost on what my daily studying should consist of. I tried to put my study end date to August 31st with today as a start date for 30 hours a week, but it either changes my end date to May 31st or changes my hours from 30 to 10 every time I try to submit. Would anyone know why this may be?

I have never sat for the real exam before and really can't decide whether to take June or August. I just took 4 section PrepTest 42, and got a 168 actual with 176 on Blind Review. This is right around where my last 2 prep tests have been.
The breakdown was:
-4 on LG (I didn't get to the fourth game).
-3 on LR (felt good)
-1 on RC
-6 on LR (completely lost focus, spent 3+ minutes on some questions, and didn't make it to several questions)
7sagers, please help – what do you recommend? I'm not sure if I should cut my losses on LG and drop it and just study LR and RC for the August test, or if it's realistic to get to -0 between now and June. I will have much more time to study come summer.
Do I sign up for June? If so, what course of study do you recommend? My goal score is 170 minimum. I suspect I'll have to retake in August no matter what... My dream is an HLS score. Applying this coming fall.
I’m trying to study for the June LSAT (the last one with logic games) and I don’t know why, but my last two practice tests have been awful. A couple of weeks ago I was scoring decently and showing improvement, but I couldn’t even finish the last couple of tests. Yesterday I got so overwhelmed halfway through the first section that I threw in the towel, and today I made it through 3 sections but quit because I was literally shaking and couldn’t string two thoughts together. This has never happened before with any of the half-dozen practice tests I've done, so I was hoping that someone knew what was going on? Two weeks ago I was fine, but now I feel like my brain is moving at half its normal pace and the easiest logic/reasoning is beyond me.
I’m trying to print the practice exam version Aug 2024 and it cuts off the top. Hence the pre Aug doesn’t do this. Please help.
Hey guys! So for reference, I took the LSAT the first time last November without much studying (I work full-time and am in school) and got a 159. Most of my PTs last year were in 156-159 range, with highest being 163 on 93. Well, I just finished the CCv1 yesterday, and took a PT this morning (60) and got a 165 before BR. My goal is to get a 169 or higher on my test in June. I missed 2 on one LR and 4 on the other, with -5 on games (game 3 was AWFUL) and -7 on RC bc I ran out of time for last two passages. Do you think I can improve to a 169 or higher in two months??
When reading through the logical reasoning bible i have and going through the drills i find myself subconsciously following the same technique for both question types which leads me to ask what is the difference?
Hello! The Content Team at 7Sage has been teaching the new version of our RC curriculum. You can find the archives here. Just search for any RC class that Albert, Kevin, or I've taught.
One request we got during class was to share the flowchart that we used. So here it is!
Feeling discouraged and frustrated, but I know this is a hard test and meant to play with you. My biggest area of struggle was always LR (and still is). I'm still pretty new here, and since starting 7sage I thought I was finally starting to grasp the concepts and tricks to handle LR questions. I took my first preptest to see how I'd do, and got a 139. I know I am able to do much better, but I dont know what I'm doing wrong, if im second guessing myself or simply overthinking each question. Any tips on how to handle LR? Anyone else deal with the same issue? Will I be able to master LR by the time my August LSAT comes around?
Hello everyone,
The Lsac website does not state whether or not tests in the 2024-2025 test year will be available in the remote format. Does anyone know if we will be able to take them at our home?
Thanks!
stop with the long posts of despair to end with an "i unfortunately ended up with a 168 on the exam"
thx

Hello, It's been nearly a decade since I graduated from college. Despite having a low GPA and LSAT scores for law school, I've gained over 10 years of experience in the risk management field at financial industry. I am now considering applying to part-time law schools to explore new opportunities. Currently, I am preparing to take the April LSAT, with plans for another attempt in June before any changes take effect in the August LSAT.
Should try applying this year or next year?
Hello! I am planning on taking the LSAT in August. Does anyone want to study together or begin a study group chat? I work full-time, so my best availability is evenings and weekends.
Can someone please explain these correct answers? I am having issues :(
Hii taking June test if anyone in the Michigan area wants to study together
Could anyone please tell me if/when they are going to announce the August 2024 testing dates for International test-takers? I go to university in the US so I need to know so I can coordinate my flight plans if needed.
Looking for a study buddy or a study group for the September exam!
Hi! Anyone down for study sessions in the dallas area. Planning to take June or August exam
I don't see one for April, June, or August. Thanks :)
Hi - Just to clarify, are PT 101-158 real full length examples of what I can expect on the upcoming August LSAT?
Hi! I'm taking the October test and looking for a study group or partner in the St. Louis area. I work full-time, so my availability would be after 4:30pm during the week, and preferably morning/early afternoons on the weekends. Thanks!!
I am consistently not finishing the LG section when I take timed PT. I've been having 6-7 questions I do not get to before time runs out. However, when I BR I get a -0 on LG. Should I continue studying LG with the goal of increasing my speed to take the June exam? Or, do I just give up on LG and focus my attention on RC and LR and wait for the August Exam?
I graduated from undergrad with a low GPA. After two years of working post-grad, I was diagnosed with ADHD. Since I have become medicated, my performance has drastically increased. Would it be ill-advised to mention this in a GPA addendum? I am worried that this will sound like an excuse or negatively impact my chances. Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.
I had a sick parent all through college (diagnosed freshman year) who died in my junior year. I am writing an addendum to explain my 3.46 GPA, how detailed should it be? Should I include every major event that affected my schoolwork or a simple timeline of what I had to deal with? Do I explain how my priority wasn't my schoolwork but to my family for basically my entire time at college? I just want to know the proper way to do this without it sounding like a sob story.
I took one of the PTs on the LawHub site as my diagnostic, can I upload that score here instead of backfilling answers?
