Hi guys.

After being approved for remote testing, and more hours than I'd like to count with technical issues, on the testing center's third attempt, I finished the LSAT yesterday.

I know in the future I'd love to write again, not because I did badly this time, but because I'd love to do so. I think it went very well, but that in the future when finances are different I would love to do it in a testing center for real, and I think I'd get a marginally better score. The tools I've gained from learning this test helped expose me to different types of writing, arts, science, things I wouldn't have seen before. I learned about conditional, causal and formal reasoning and I have learned a rhetorical discernment that I'll have for the rest of my life.

People don't know, but this has been the only community I've ever had, where my natural critical thinking has been a tool to be strengthened rather than seen as bad social skills or bad attitude. I know the logical reasoning sections were very good, likely near perfect, A few wrong on the reading comprehension but it definetely was strong. I can't help but feel like I'd like to take on the "LSAT level 2", I feel like it was over almost too quickly. To build the skill involving fluid intelligence rather than memory, to learn and grow without being held back by memory or the physical body has been an amazing experience. I feel like I'd want to learn to get beyond the basic sufficiency/necessity contrapositive, and kind of go on to the next level. However I'm realizing that in this area this test is the top of the line, other than like a phD in philosophy or something (which is useless). I want to do what's next, it felt like I was being illuminated upon as I learned some of the more complex contrortions of causal reasoning, I enjoyed waking up at night thinking and people around me joking I was having "revelations". I feel like someone who was a born athlete that got scouted and trained by the Olympics for a few months, and it went really well, and the door opened, but no matter how wide its open I'm 20 feet below, and I'll never reach.

All thats next is the bar, but I know my financial situation, disability related factors, and my location will make it unlikely to even be able to go to law school. it almost feels like I fear the best is over, not even just this, but the best of life, childhood, hope, curiosity. I want to see whats next though, and I'm sad to let this 7sage community go. I haven't felt smart in a long time. There's nerds here, like my type of nerdy.

Hi everyone! I’m Bob Verini, and I bring 45+ years of LSAT teaching experience, 10,000+ students taught, and a track record that includes 30-point score gains. I’ve personally earned multiple perfect 180s, and many of my students have achieved 180s as well.

I spent 40 years at Kaplan, including time as a Director of LSAT, authoring LSAT books, developing course materials, and training LSAT teachers. I’m also a five-time Jeopardy! champion and Tournament of Champions winner. Today, I teach privately through Bob Verini Inc.

How I can help

There are things about this test I know that many others don’t, and you’ll learn about them in our first session.

Whether you’re just starting out or have been studying for months without seeing improvement, our sessions will focus on identifying exactly where you’re losing points and how to address it. We’ll work through questions together so I can understand your reasoning, spot recurring mistakes, and help you develop an approach you can apply consistently on your own.

I work with students at every level, and helping strong scorers who have hit a ceiling is an area where I particularly excel. If you keep narrowing answers down to two, understand explanations but struggle to apply them, or can’t translate your practice performance into your official score, those are issues we can tackle together.

Rates and support

My rate is $250 per hour. Sessions are tailored to your needs, with email and text support between sessions included at no additional charge.

Hi everyone! I'm Ezra, and I scored a 180 on the September LSAT, so the grind of PTs, blind review, and wrong-answer journaling is still very fresh for me. I tutored economics in college, and have been tutoring the LSAT since I took the exam. I love teaching the exam and I think the LSAT can be a fun and engaging challenge with the right approach. I firmly believe that with a strong foundation, good study habits, and proper dedication, most people can reach their goal scores.

My specialty is closing gap between blind review and timed scores, and building personalized and highly effective study plans. These were key to how I scored a 180 and I have put a lot of hours into developing tactics for them. Reaching a high score on the LSAT requires a holistic approach that goes beyond making sure you understand the questions. Success is also largely about tactics for performing under timed pressure. If you're regularly getting questions right in blind review that you are missing under time, or your PT scores are plateauing short of where you know they should be, I am here to help!

How I work:

• We start by assessing your performance and how you are studying, to pin down where you could improve. This is a process of targeting gaps and strengths in your understanding, study methods, and execution.

• We will work on tailoring our sessions so that they work best for you. Everyone learns best differently, and we will spend time making sure that your study time is spent optimally and efficiently.

• I am offering 1-on-1 sessions. I prefer 90-minute sessions, but can do 60-minutes as well if you have less time.

Rates:

I am currently pricing my 60-minute sessions at $60 and 90-minute sessions at $85.

Hi Everyone!

I am seeking advice for applying this upcoming year. First, I applied last year, and unfortunately I didn't get in anywhere. I applied late with a low LSAT score(big mistake). I had letters of recommendation written in December 2025 and this January. Should I ask for new letters, especially for schools I have already applied to and am reapplying to? Also, is applying between the end of January/beginning of February too late to apply? Appreciate any help; thank you so much!

Hello! My name is Greg, and I specialize in personalized LSAT tutoring tailored to each student’s unique needs and learning style. Since 2020, I’ve helped multiple students achieve perfect 180 scores and guided dozens more into the 170s through an adaptable, supportive, and results-driven approach. Admitted to the bar in 2025, I also provide guidance beyond the LSAT, including law school admissions strategy, school selection, and application navigation.

Outside of tutoring and law, I enjoy hiking, biking, skiing, and playing chess. I believe balance is an important part of success, and I encourage students to build sustainable study habits alongside their academic goals.

Hi, I'm Nick! I work primarily with students who feel stuck despite doing a lot of practice and who need a clearer system for understanding why they’re missing questions.

I went from 158 --> 178 in 4 months by learning how to diagnose my mistakes and change how I approached the test. I now work with students using that same approach, focusing on underlying reasoning issues that lead to fast, durable score improvements. I’m a good fit for students who want structured feedback and are willing to think carefully about their mistakes—not just do more questions.

You can find more about my tutoring philosophy, scheduling, and availability on my website. Happy to answer any questions!

Hey everyone, are there any of you guys that are in Raleigh NC? I really want a study buddy. It has been hard studying and taking care of a baby. I just would love someone to help me understand the LSAT better

Hi there,

My name is Carl, and I've been tutoring the LSAT since the early 2000s, online and in person. These days I mostly work online over Zoom.

I would never tell someone that it's impossible to self-study for the test or that a tutor is absolutely required, by any means. I would say, however, that having the right guidance at the right moment in your studies can both save you a lot of frustration and streamline the process of improving your score.

Here are some of the ways I've worked with students:

Plateau Busting - I specialize in helping people move the needle who've been stuck on a plateau for a long time. There are natural points where people get stuck (high 150s, mid 160s, etc.), and I've developed methods for helping people push past those sticking points.

Ground-Floor Up Rebuilds - Sometimes, the problem is you've never really established the baseline skill set. You've poked around, started and stopped, and your core skills never full gelled. I can help you rebuild the necessary foundation to set yourself up for success.

Troubleshooting - Sometimes all you need is someone to help when you hit a sticking point. You're doing great overall, but a specific question type is killing you. It can even be a specific few questions. I excel at having fruitful, thoughtful discussions of some of the finer points of the test.

Extreme Score Goals - There aren't a lot of tutors who can help you move a 173 to a 176. I have been able to do that for students. It's a very specialized skill set, working with those already in or near the 99th percentile, as once you're in that upper score range, you're just not making any easy mistakes any more.

Tutoring of Last Resort - I've had some clients come to me who've tried everything else. Some of them have literally done every single question available at least once. If nothing else has worked, I might be able to help.

I offer a free one-hour evaluation session to all potential clients. It's an hour for us to meet, discuss your troubles, have me demonstrate my tutoring style, and have you ask any questions you have. So, please, reach out if you'd like to schedule an evaluation with me to see if I can help you.

The easiest way to reach out is to use the scheduler at my website: https://www.ivorytowertutoring.com/schedule/ . You can also shoot me a DM here or respond to this post.

Should I cancel my score? Scored a 162 on my October LSAT. That’s as bad as I’ve done on a practice test in the last 2 months. Ranging from 162 to 171 steadily climbing and then I got a 172 today Ina PT. Target school median is 171 and I will be below their median GPA. Any advice/input would be very appreciated! Taking November LSAT to hopefully apply early December.

Excited to finally make this tutoring post now that I'm done with the LSAT!

I just scored 175 on October after scoring 170 three times (see this post here: https://7sage.com/discussion/63686/this-is-your-sign-to-never-give-up-and-never-settle?notification_id=ntf_034oAjdzoLWm1GwXNQdOke)

I had been PTing 175+ before the previous two attempts which made seeing no progress extra disappointing. I studied for the LSAT while working full-time on my first attempt and while working full time and tutoring part time the last three attempts. I've tutored for almost 2 years now, first at another large tutoring company and solo for the last year or so. Not seeing my knowledge translate into results made me feel like a fraud but I knew I was capable of that 175+ and it was just a matter of putting all the pieces together come test day.

Being stuck at 170 forced me to start from scratch and systemize everything for myself. I drove myself a little crazy breaking everything down into steps and checklists to ensure repeatable performance. That thankfully paid off for me and has only boosted what I've been able to provide to my one-on-one clients. I also have some real experience in fighting that mental side of this test and knowing how to frame studying and schedule when the results haven't shown up on official scores yet. This probably came from my background in sports my whole life and baseball specifically. I love helping students with the mental side of performance improvement just as much as the tactical skills side.

I think about the LSAT in terms of bottlenecks. I love coming prepared into one-on-one sessions explaining exactly to my student what the lowest hanging fruit for them to improve is, so there's something actionable that can directly result in a tiny increase. Tiny increases quickly add up to goal scores!

If you've been looking for a tutoring match and any of this resonated with you, please DM me. You'll fill out a form link I'll send for me to get to know you and see recent test/section results before we have an initial call.

Hi everyone! I'm Ezra, and I scored a 180 on the September LSAT.

I tutored economics in college, and have been tutoring the LSAT since I took the exam. I love teaching the LSAT and I think the exam can be a fun and engaging challenge with the right approach. I firmly believe that with a strong foundation, good study habits, and proper dedication, most people can reach their goal scores.

A question I get a ton while tutoring is how to transfer accuracy and success in blind review over to timed performance. I think there are a few key variables in that process that I try to highlight: finding lessons in our blind reviewing, deliberate thinking under time, having a procedural approach to both the test as a whole and different question types, and checking in with ourselves regarding stamina and focus. Combining these attributes with intention helps us rely less on intuition or "vibes," keep a quick rhythm, and stay alert when we need to be. Here are some quick practical tips:

1. Be aware of when and how strategies can help us. For example, if you pre-phrased an answer choice and it ends up not being there, switch to PoE rather than choosing an AC that looks the most like what you were expecting. If pre-phrasing is not saving us time or protecting us from traps, it might be doing the opposite.

2. When you feel yourself straying from your process, pause and take a deep breath. This alone can help you recenter and gain control.

3. When you are blind reviewing, ask "what could I have done differently to have had a better chance at getting this question right?" This might mean being more comfortable with some sort of conditional logic, or it might mean not skimming over answer choices. These lessons are exactly why we do BR, and it is important to emphasize them and then drill similar questions to apply and ingrain what we learn.

If you'd like to work together to build these skills and tailor approaches to specific question types, I am more than happy to help.
