LSAT tips

I was just wondering, what is a tip or trick that you used (or use) on the test that you found to be incredibly useful/helpful.

Hi all,

I've taken 14 PTs. I find I learn best through a combination of drilling and PTs. However, 7Sage uses PT content for drilling. I like this, but I'm concerned about compromising future PTs due to having answered some of their questions during my drilling sessions.

I've started to plan which PTs I will take in the future, and selecting drilling questions only for PTs not belonging to that group of tests. The plan is to keep "fresh" PTs 111-121. As a result of this, I have been drilling from PTs in the 140s and 150s.

However, I'm concerned about possible differences between the quality, rigor, or relevance of different PTs. This could mislead me in my evaluations of where I am at in my LSAT journey. Are some PTs more applicable to the modern LSAT than others? If anyone has any information about this, please let me know! Also, what is your approach to this problem? Have you encountered this? If there's a flaw in my approach, or an alternate method that you've found success with, also let me know!

Any advice is appreciated- thank you

For those who have taken an official test before, what do you find works for you in the final weeks leading up to it? Do you stick with your study schedule, ramp things up, or take a break? Any suggestions??

And good luck to all those who are taking the January test!

Hey Im planning to take the LSAT in June and was hoping to find some others who would like to form a study group? If you aren’t in Tampa that’s fine too but would be cool to form a Tampa study group.

Helllooo, looking for people interested in taking the April and/or June 2025 LSAT in NYC and looking for fellow testers to help learn and hold themselves accountable to studying- I've been studying off and on for about a year and looking to lock in over the next couple of months- open to people at all levels and esp looking for slightly older students ? Anyone 25+?? HMU

If I struggle with the context/strategy switching from one section type to another, is there a way to practice that other than the full length tests? Like if I wanted to do a 27Q RC and then a 26Q LR, or even two RC passages and then immediately go into the first 15 LR?

Seems like only option would be to start and not finish a prep test, but then it would mess up your analytics.

I switched gears in my studying to focus on RC, while focusing on RC and completing the RC hero course, I took a step back from LR. Prior to my switch, I was getting -6 to -8 on LR, now as I've tried to tackle the entire test - I've found myself getting -8 to -10 on LR. I take the test in two weeks, is there anything I can do to help improve my LR to where I was before? I'm not even sure where I'm going wrong anymore. I keep a wrong answer journal to review where I go wrong, but it doesn't seem to be helping. I've read loophole, LR bible, did the whole 7sage curriculum, so I'm unsure of how to move forward, and I don't want to spend any more money on prep since my test is so soon. My most common wrong questions are NA, SA, and Flaw. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi everybody,

I'm looking for a study partner who has some familiarity with the test, and is ideally (but you don't have to be) somewhere around the 160s score range. I'm trying to make that leap into the 170s, and hope we could help each other do so.

I'm in Laramie, Wyoming so I'm doubting there will be anyone in my area lol, but we can meet over zoom, skype or something similar.

I was thinking we could both take the same PT each week, blind review it separately, then meet each weekend to review the test together, and help one another learn from missed questions. We could do this during the week with timed sections as well, or even with tough questions from drilling. Or anything else you would have in mind!

Please reach out if you're interested! Let's crush this test.

Hi guys,

I'm making my way through the Core Curriculum and need people to study and discuss these concepts with. Currently on Logic of Intersecting Sets / almost done with the Foundations section.

153 Diagnostic, looking for a 170+ final LSAT score in June 2025.

If there are sherpas willing to guide, or others in the same boat, please hit me up!

Trying to make this a consistent group meeting 1-2x a week so we can tackle this thing together and achieve our goals.

Currently, I'm scoring around 156-158, with the goal score of 163. When taking practice tests and blind reviewing, I'm pretty confident in my answer choices and feel like I have a good understanding. I've been going to tons of classes and working on my weaker areas (RC science passages, LR causal reasoning and weakening questions) but the same scores keep staring back at me. It feels like no matter what I do my goal score will always be out of reach. Does anyone have any tips/advice? I'm writing in January and I know I'll end up taking it again in June, so any words of wisdom or commiseration are appreciated.

I would like to start this off by saying I am VERY grateful for my score, and know that a lot of people would do anything for it, so this should not come across as complaining.

I have plateaued right around 168, and would LOVE to break the 170 threshold before the January test. What have you done to break into the 170's? I know that with just 15 days before I sit, much of the work has already been done, but what could I do to get that final push?

Hey, I'm looking to take a diagnostic prep test soon but I don't want to waste any of the newer tests and I am a little bit confused by the numbering for the new prep test format. What would be a good test (or range of tests) to try without it being so old that it's obsolete or so new that its wasteful to do so early?

I had a diagnostic score of 159, and after finishing the syllabus did two PTs with scores of 167 for both. However, the following PTs I did after that were 164, 163, and 163. I took a few days to drill and review lessons for questions I was struggling with, came back and tried another PT that I felt fairly confident in after finishing. I ended up scoring a 158, which is worse than my diagnostic. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong or how to proceed since I am getting progressively worse each time I take a PT despite studying and drilling continuously. Has anyone dealt with this before? Feeling really defeated and worried for the upcoming Jan test.
