My last 4 pt's have been on average a score of 159. The law school I want to go to has a median lsat of 159. Should I keep PT'ing over the spring and summer and take the test in September and apply in October of this year? At what point would I want to get my recommendation letters and other loose ends of my application tied up? What scores should I be seeing before I stop PT's and sign up for the real thing? Thanks
i was all the way through the old core curriculum when the new version of 7sage came out with all the new prep tests. i have been testing from pt 36 all the way up to pt 61 using the old format but now i want to take pt62-pt94 using the new preptests. however, it doesnt look like the new preptests work that way. would it be okay for me to just continue taking 3 sections of pt 62-94, while adding on an old section for each preptests myself? i like doing the prep tests sequentially, like 62, 63, 64 , 65 etc. i also like how jy ping adds commentary every 4 or 5 prep tests using students live takes and i dont want to lose that.
for someone who has been prep testing sequentially all the way since pt 36, how can i continue to do this while also adding in a 4th section in the most realistic way possible? thank you

How long (whether in terms of hours or across a span of days) does it take for you to do the following?
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:
Open to any tips you all have!

Hi everyone,
I am having difficulties finding an approach for detail-heavy passages, i.e. that don't have much of an argument to them but instead a lot of facts and details (For example Passage #1 - Burning Forests of LSAT 38/114 Section III). Since I usually focus on finding the argument and author's tone in each passage, I often lose of a lot of time going back to the details to answer the questions for this kind of passage.
Does anyone have any tips or strategy?
Thank you!
Hey everyone. When do you recommend I register for the June LSAT? I'm not referring to the scheduling "window" that will open around May. I referring to simply signing up to take it before the April 22 deadline. Is there a difference if I register today or, say, 2 weeks from now?
Hi everyone!!
My name is Adam and I am looking to start an OC study group.
A little bit about myself. I am currently PTing in the high 160's and looking to push into the mid 170's by August. I recently graduated UC Berkeley as an imbedded logic tutor and honestly I really enjoy the LSAT and would be more than happy to help anyone out that's scoring lower than I am.
My ideal outcome would be gathering a solid group of friends with varying degrees of experience that want to push themselves as hard as they can. So it doesn't matter where you are at in your journey, as long as you are motivated and optimistic about the exam you are more than welcome to join!
I don't think I can post a phone number here so DM me and we can get a group chat going!
Have a great day :)
Hi! I'm in Stamford, CT, about 40 min from NYC and wanted to see if there was anyone in the area that is also studying for the June 2025 LSAT! Let me know - thank you!!

Hey,
I am starting to get back into my LSAT studying journey after taking a break from it for a while. I have gone thru the foundations portion and completed that. Right now doing LR and then RC.
Do you think it would be worth it taking the LSAT fundamentals class?
Has anyone taken the course before?
Thanks!!

Hello everyone! I am based in Los Angeles and am looking to form a study group where we can all take the same PT, and then meet once a week or once every 1.5 weeks to blind review it together over Zoom, etc. Ideal score range for members would be people currently PTing in the 160s and looking to get into the 170s as that is where I am at. I made a discord, so if anyone would like to join please feel free and we can discuss! hhttps://discord.gg/bpaD7cxV
Also please let me know if the link doesn't work.
accidentally filled in wrong score manually.

Hi everyone, I am wondering if someone has taken the LSAT at the in-person test center in Ottawa. I'd like to do that to avoid potential difficulties with WiFi/proctor because I just get so paranoid thinking about those. But I want to know how that experience has been for those who's done it there? Thank you!
Hello,
I am Jocelyn Naranjo. I am planning on taking the LSAT this upcoming August. Anyone in or around New Haven that would want to form a study group?
Hello everyone, just wanted to see if there are people in the Sarasota area that would want to connect and study together. I take the April LSAT but depending on how well it goes, I might have to take it again in June. I'm a little too inconsistent on my practice exams and would like to work with different people and learn how they approach different questions. Also, I am currently in Gainesville for school but will be back in Sarasota in like 2-3 weeks.
I wanted to take a moment to really shout out tutor and course instructor James Marmaduke for going above and beyond. Through a twist of fate, I ended up registered for his Feb 2025 advanced LSAT course and he genuinely cares about each and every one of his students. From my personal experience, especially if you are very self-accountable, I can truly say that a class with James would be worth investing in. As I sat through our first weekly check-in, I was surprised at how much he actually cared about my overall LSAT journey and how obvious that this was more than just a job for him. Also sending much thanks and appreciation to Thomas Langmuir for his patience and support in making this happen in the first place!
I noticed that the LSAT August 2025 dates specify "Region: United States (including Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands) and Canada." Does this mean that there are no online options for international takers either? Sorry for the basic question, apologies if this isn't the place for it.
Hello all!
I’m starting a small LSAT sprint group for those of us scoring 160+ and aiming toward 175–180.
The idea is to have a consistent weekly rhythm: we’ll set a few specific goals, check in mid-week, and reflect at the end. There’s also a short Monday Zoom call to wrap one sprint and start the next.
A little about me: I tutor part-time and slowly working my way up through practice tests. I’m currently scoring in the high 170s on PTs, and my last official score is 173. I’m aiming for 180 and wanted to build a consistent study community of like-minded learners to keep momentum, and hopefully to meet others who are pushing for the same thing!
This is for people who are committed and willing to show up. If that’s you, DM me for the invite. Comments won’t get a response — just want to make sure folks are actually reading before joining :)
Good luck to everyone studying!
how do you guys do MBT and MSS conditional logic questions quickly / in a timely manner? When I am doing a timed run sometimes the language of the stim feels like gibberish to me so that doesn't help because I'm re-reading it several times. Then I also feel like diagramming the whole thing takes too much time. From there I'm already tempted to skip it. However, in BR, the answer feels way more obvious once I understand the logic at play -- it just takes too long to grasp the logic at play. If anyone feels the same as me, how did you 1. read the stimulis without freaking out / decipher it without needing to read it a million times 2. do you diagram it ? or do the inferences stand out in your head quite quickly? 3. Was it a matter of just drilling these questions more and then you got the hang of it ?
I'm PT'ing around 150-154 and took the LSAT in April. I would love to do some extra time with you all if interested. Please add me on Discord @eden0727
I've been going through the PT'S sequentially since pt 36. Got my best score on the last one I took which was pt64 and then yesterday i took pt 65. What was that!? Two 5star rc passages, extremely unusual lr questions, it was a nightmare. Did anyone else take this pt and halfway through felt like they've never taken a pt before?
