Hello!

I'm looking to organize a study group for people who are taking the October 2021 LSAT and aiming for a 170+ and currently in the 160+ range! We will be focusing on reviewing practice tests/question sets, keeping each other accountable and challenging our thought process for each question. Please PM me if you're interested!!

I'm also looking to find a couple of people to tutor for free! I hit a 166 on the actual LSAT and believe that teaching others is a great way to learn. PM if you're interested in the opportunity! Lets conquer the LSAT together :]!

Hi guys- I'm applying to a law school that asks you to list each educational institution attended, along with the GPA for each. I have two questions:

For the GPA for my undergraduate institution, should I list my LSAC GPA or transcript GPA? My LSAC GPA is higher so I would rather do that, but I want to make sure I'm doing the right thing.

I attended a pre-college program, as well as an abroad program (run by my college). My GPA for both the pre-college program credit and abroad program credit are reflected on my transcript and factored into my overall undergraduate GPA. Do I need to include the GPAs with my entries for the pre-college program and abroad program on the law school app?

How long (whether in terms of hours or across a span of days) does it take for you to do the following?

  • Blind reviewing your PTs before checking your score
  • After your PT score reveal, going through video explanations on your missed or flagged questions
  • Drilling before your next PT
  • Overall, time between your PT attempts
  • I ask because it takes me about a month to get through all of this, and that seems much longer than what I hear is recommended. Granted, I am aiming to increase my study time on the weekdays, so that should establish a faster cycle. I currently study an hour per work night, on average. For weekends, about 2-3 hours per day.

    My distribution is something like:

  • 1 week for blind review
  • 1-1.5 week of video explanations
  • 1-1.5 weeks of drilling
  • Overall, 3-4 weeks between PT attempts
  • Open to any tips you all have!

    I currently work at a small law office in NYC. A couple of weeks ago, I got accepted into my dream law school and will be enrolling for fall 2025 so my position will be open starting April.

    This role is a perfect opportunity for those preparing to go to law school. It is only part-time so you will be able to study for the LSAT or work on other application materials. Additionally, the role leaves a lot of free time during the work day to study for the LSAT or work on other application materials as well. Another amazing thing about this role is that because you are working in a small law office, there is a lot of room for growth and learning. I truly believe this work experience made a difference in my law school application as I had the opportunity to begin drafting legal documents, learned what I liked/did not like about the field, was able to study for the LSAT during work, and got a great recommendation letter from my boss. A huge plus is that the staff are extremely friendly and flexible.

    If you applied this cycle but are deciding to take another year off or have not yet applied, this might be a perfect opportunity for you. PM me if you are interested - serious inquiries only please.

    Hey guys! So I took a practice test in 2023 without any studying and scored a 139. I recently took the same exam and another practice test and scored 149. Is that improvement? I don't know if I should be happy or a bit disappointed. My blind review is 153. I went up 10 points in both blind review and timed test. I'm not sure if I should be scoring high after doing the core curriculum and drills. The only section that hasn't improved in reading comprehension.

    Salam everyone! Hoping to get a small group going (aiming for mid-high 160s+) to discuss Qs/thought processes, schedule PTs together, exchange tips/strategies, do checkins etc. Ideally something we can keep going into this application cycle inshaAllah. Would prefer a girls' group. Message me!

    Is the scaled scoring for flex style practice tests accurate? I'm finding discrepancies between my tests but can't tell whether they are due to different scales for different PTs or a problem with the scoring algorithm when using the Flex option. I'm trying to get an accurate idea of what my score might be!

    I work as a research coordinator and have been heavily involved in a lot of research projects. Should I keep a completely separate page with the research project titles? Maybe titles research projects or something? Just wanted to know how anyone else with research experience listed it on their resumes. Thanks!

    Ive taken the time to learn the fundamentals of LR and RC for months. Now I'm drilling non stop based on previous prep test analytics but I'm asking how you to balance studying. Given in a week, approx 4 hrs/daily

    Monday- LR specific Q types

    Tuesday-LR

    Wednesday: RC

    Thursday: RC

    Friday: LR

    Saturday: anything you didn't get done

    Sunday: rest

    How do you balance RC/LR?

    Hi everyone,

    Is there an explanation for why the scaled score varies by 1-2 points from the current test format to the obsolete test format, same raw score? This is reflected in the conversion table on 7sage. For example, -5 is a 174 for X modern PT, but 173 for the corresponding obsolete (but modified - LR, LR, RC, no experimental) PT. Presumably, since the same scored sections are tested (given 7Sage modification), the scaled score should be the same, unless I'm misunderstanding something.

    I made the mistake of taking a test on LawHub under the current test format and manually inputting the answers in the corresponding obsolete (but modified, no LG) 7Sage test. Two different scaled scores were given, 1 point off. I double checked - exact same scored sections. Is this just a matter of adjusting the scaled scores with removal of LG?

    And I assume that I should rely on the current test format's scaled score, correct?

    Hi all! I had been consistently scoring between 165-167 on previous PTs before I took the Nov LSAT, and was incredibly disappointed to when I found out I 160 on it. This is my first time using 7sage and I am taking the January LSAT.

    How in depth should I be studying each LR question type? I'm finding that doing the lessons don't leave me much time for drilling and I'm not sure how to balance it. Would love some advice on how to use the study plan in tandem with drilling and taking sections!

    Thanks :)

    Hey everyone,

    I just took the LSAT in November and scored a 147. After studying for 5 to 6 months I was pretty bummed by my score. Since then, I've been grinding and have consistently been scoring between 155 and 158 throughout 8 to 9 practice tests. I was wondering what tactic's you used/ what you studied to get from the mid 150's to the low 160's. I'm taking the test in January again in 4 weeks and am wondering if this is even attainable if I put in 40 hours a week studying. Thanks :)
