Hello,

I'm looking to create a small, committed study group of people who are based in New York City and are taking the August LSAT. In order for this to be as effective as possible I ask that you only reach out if the following apply to you:

1) Scoring at least 155 on PTs

2) Age 22+ / Done with undergrad

3) Able to meet once a week, in person, in Manhattan

4) Able to commit to one study session a week

I am 25, based on the Lower East Side, and have a standard 9-5 job. I'm currently scoring in the low 160s and would like to bump my score as close to 180 as possible.

Looking forward to meeting!

Best,

Subhash

Working through the Foundations curriculum and just wondering what the recommended practice test frequency/cadence is afterwards. I see a lot of people reference their practice test scores and when to schedule based on how you are scoring, so I would be curious to hear what different people recommend.

I have two little ones and work full time so planning time windows to do timed practice test is challenging so I am just wondering how intentional you need to be about getting those tests in. It feels like by far the most important thing to do, but also a challenging thing to work in frequently.

Maybe this is already a thing but when I’m reviewing a specific tag (ex parallel reasoning) I would love to be able to click the arrow and it takes me to the next question within the tag (parallel reasoning questions) instead of taking to the next question in the section. I know I could just run a drill with the tag but sometimes I just want to consecutively watch the videos or read the explainers for that tag without having to go back and forth from the missed questions page to the question I’m reviewing.

I work full-time and can be quite tired at the end of a long day, and my work especially is the type that can be draining. From prior experience, I kind of feel that studying for as long as I should each day can end up getting to a point where I am too tired to focus on my studying; sometimes it is fine but others I just kind of go through the motions. Do any other people who have tried studying while working have any tips or strategies that worked for them?

Hi all,

I am about finished with the curriculum. Long story short, I was out of the country and have also just started a new job so my LSAT studying kind of fell to the wayside for about a month and a half but I am back at it and just have to finish up my last day of curriculum material tomorrow. I literally only had 2 days of curriculum left when I kind of fell off track LMAO. Anyway, I am wondering how much I should I be drilling daily if I plan to take the test in August (about 3 months out)? I was originally going to take it in June but then felt I fell too far behind timing wise.

I attempted a PT today and had to stop halfway through because it genuinely felt like my brain stopped processing information correctly. I wasn’t panicking outwardly, but I suddenly couldn’t sustain focus, couldn’t fully comprehend passages, and for the first time ever, I couldn’t even finish all the LR questions in a section. I was reading words, but nothing felt like it was actually sticking cognitively.

For context, I’m coming off an extremely intense semester (finals, leadership transitions, travel, etc.), so I’m wondering if this is some combination of burnout/anxiety/cognitive overload, but it honestly scared me because I’m used to functioning at a very high academic level.

If anyone has experienced this during prep:

• How did you reset?

• Did you take time off or push through?

• How did you rebuild focus/stamina?

• Did it end up being temporary?

Would really appreciate any advice because right now I feel mentally fragmented and pretty overwhelmed.

I'm a second year in undergrad, graduating a year early, and am applying for law school this fall. I haven't really made any stand-out connections with any of my profs, and I'm afraid it might be too late now before applications. There was one or two that gave me great writing feedback in my first year, but I'm not sure if that was memorable enough, and I didn't really talk to them.

I also have two jobs- one as a law clerk at a small firm I've been at for 3 years and have a great connection with my boss; the other, I've been a typist for a year, helping on a law prof's research at my school's law school (T20-40 range), with whom I'm very friendly. I also recently got an internship at a national law firm; my supervisors are paralegals, and I don't know them too well yet, but we're friendly.

I heard that schools want at least one academic letter if you're applying right out of undergrad, but I'm not sure at this point if a meh one would hurt me? And if I should just go the full professional letter route? And which professional letters should I prioritize?

my mar lsat diagnostic was 161, i'm aiming for 170+ in aug and T50 schools.

It's nearly impossible to get into any T6 school in their 40s, right?

My GPA is 3.85ish (T3 public school / soft STEM / 2-3 yrs of job experience / a lot of familial & medical hardships / a foreign military experience) , but can't really do any prep for my LSAT right now because of legal issues I'm currently dealing with.

I'm feeling super anxious because I'm in my late 30s.

I took the LSAT this past January (third-year college student) and scored a 167. My average 5 practice tests leading up to my official attempt averaged to just about that, with a highest recorded score of 170. My initial diagnostic was a 153, and I studied from March onward, though I could only dedicate about 5-10 hours per week to it during the school year and occasionally 10-15 in the summer. I am interested in BU, Notre Dame, Vanderbilt, UCLA, & UC Berkeley, and I did not hit the median for those (which is around 170) but did exceed the 25th percentile. I am confident that the other components of my application will be strong. That said, I plan to take two gap years to teach before attending law school, and I am on the fence about my test timeline. I could study this summer and retake in September, but I will have an intense full-time internship for June and July that will take up a significant portion of my time. I do not want to study for or take the test again during senior year, as I will be writing a senior honors thesis. The other option for a retake would be to study full-time the summer after I graduate and retake it that fall, but then I would have taken about a year and a half off from studying before revisiting. I could also study while working full-time in a post-grad teaching role, but I think that would be challenging to manage. I think it makes sense to retake the test, but does anyone have advice on when I should? I also should mention that I took the test under particularly bad conditions (personal life crisis) that severely impacted my emotional state and sleep leading up to it.

I took the diagnostic test a week ago and scored a 140. I am following the study guide. I have 9 weeks of course material before I start the practice questions.

Am I supposed to be drilling now? Or wait until the lectures are done?

I’ve been studying for a while, however I have hit a plateau and would love to discuss how to improve

I finished my first PT since my diagnostic back in December. My diagnostic was 139 > and this PT was a 158. I haven’t studied consistently until these last 3 weeks, I’d always start and stop. Should I finish the curriculum or keep drilling and working through the Loophole as I’ve been doing the last 3 weeks?

I’m aiming for the August LSAT (I’m okay with taking September LSAT as well) and a goal score of 170+ (I know that might be highly unrealistic in this timeframe).

While taking the PT, on certain questions I knew that diagramming would help get me to an answer I just didn’t know what to diagram if that makes sense. Any recommendations on how to get better at diagramming?

Hi everyone, happy Monday! I'm an independent LSAT tutor, and I'm super excited to introduce my new weekly group study sessions. These sessions will be online, are 40 minutes long, and are completely FREE for anyone to join!

They are tentatively scheduled for Wednesdays at 11AM PDT/2PM EDT, but please feel free to join the group even if these times don't work for you! I may change dates or add sessions based on the schedules of people in the group.

Each session will have a different theme. In a given session, we could focus on LR, RC, or test day strategies. My goal for these study sessions is for you to get some extra practice in, learn new test approaches, get clarification on tricky questions, be part of a community of like-minded learners, and of course, have fun!

Hope to see you all there :)

My study plan keeps changing dates. I am not sure why... I started May 8, and then it changed to say my day 1 was May 10, and now it has updated to day 1 being May 11. I am not sure why this keeps on happening or if there is a way to fix it?

Thanks!

I plan to take the LSAT in September, but on RC questions I keep falling for trap answers and struggle to structure the passages in my head as I read. Does anyone have any tips on improving RC, focusing on structure and avoiding trap answers?

Hey all!!! I’m not necessarily struggling to understand the foundations however, as I’m working through the logical reasoning modules I’m realizing I’m struggling to apply ther concepts. I understand and can explain them but when I start mixing in multiple question types it becomes over whelming. Should I practice applying ther concepts? If so how? What have high scorers who ran into a similar issue done? Any help or advice would be really appreciated! Good luck to everyone studying hard.

A little about where I’m at:

• Rising senior at Duke

• Just finished a very intense semester, so I’m now transitioning into full-time LSAT prep

• Last full PT was a 159 (September 2025)

• Goal range is ideally 170+ long term, but I’m focused right now on building a strong, structured foundation and improving consistently

My current timeline:

• Two weeks of near full-time study starting now

• Then balancing prep alongside a major summer fellowship/internship schedule

• Planning to take the August test as my first official administration

I’m looking for someone who:

• wants consistent accountability,

• is serious about improvement,

• is willing to review mistakes/process together,

• and preferably is also studying heavily this summer for August or fall administrations.

Would especially love someone interested in structured study schedules and not just endlessly grinding PTs. Feel free to message me if you think we’d be a good fit!Looking for a serious summer study/accountability buddy for the August LSAT!

Hi everyone! My name is Isabella and I'm excited to start offering independent LSAT tutoring. I recently received a score of 177 on the April 2026 LSAT (screenshot below), and my initial diagnostic score was a 157. I self-studied my way up through lots of trial and error and strategy adjustments, and since I was able to improve my score significantly, I would love to help other students do the same!

Here are some things I will be focusing on in my tutoring sessions:

• Building a strategy and timeline that fits your schedule

• Breaking down difficult LR questions in a simple, intuitive way

• RC approach for different passage types

• Training time management and pattern recognition

My rate is currently $40/hr, and I would be happy to hop on a free consultation call to make sure we are a good fit! Feel free to message me or comment below if you'd like to chat more :)

I just scored a 168 on PT139.

Hi everyone,

I’m currently a Project Manager at a software company, working ~50 hours/week. I’m not very fulfilled and don’t feel passionate about the work, which is part of why I started studying for the LSAT.

I’ll hit one year at my company in October 2026, but I’ve been struggling to find the time and energy to study. I think I could reach around a 165 by August, and I’d like to apply this upcoming cycle.

Delaying to the 2027–2028 cycle isn’t ideal for me. I’m also concerned about maintaining strong relationships for letters of recommendation—I have them now, but that could change over time.

While I think my work experience adds value to my application, leaving before a full year might raise concerns about commitment.

I’d really appreciate advice on what to do:

• Quit my job and focus on LSAT prep (is ~7 months of experience okay if my score improves?)

• Stay in my job and apply with a lower score

• Wait for the 2027–2028 cycle (and potentially find a less demanding job—open to suggestions on roles that are helpful for law school applications)

I’m not set on a specific area of law yet. I majored in Neuroscience and English, and I enjoy reading, writing, and analytical work. My current role also involves some contract-related work.

Thanks in advance for any insight!

Hi y'all! I just finished my first week of studying and took my second PT. I feel like I can solve most questions without pressure and given enough time. But under testing conditions, phew, it is a mental frenzy to complete them on time, let alone get the correct answer. How would you recommend I close this gap between my 177 BR and 160 diagnostic? More studying the concepts or drilling and PT's?

Hi everyone, I tried answering questions in reverse order, but it lowered my score. I thought starting with the hardest questions (while I’m freshest and have the most time) would help. Is this a common strategy, or is it better to go in order (first -> last)?

Hi Everyone! I am fresh to the LSAT and am looking for a group to work with or to create. It would be awesome to find people locally, but I am also totally open to finding an online group! I feel like I hit a roadblock with the book, The Loophole, almost immediately in chapter 2, so I am trying something new!

I recently discovered that now we can filter by Answer choice tags in Analytics > Questions. Could we get the same feature under Drills as well? Would be useful to know which type answer choice I keep gravitating towards every time I pick the wrong answer.
