Has anyone experienced a very large score drop compared to normal PTs? I dropped about 12ish points, almost close to my diagnostic score from almost a year ago. I know for sure I did poorly walking out of the test room but I did not know it would be this bad.

Although I felt calm, my brain foggier than usual, room was rather cold, and i guessed on more questions than i usually do (I usually guess / leave to chance 1-2 per section, this time i left about 4 per section).

I don't know if it was because of finally testing in a room with other people, the cold, the exhausting week I had before, or whatever, though it is likely a combination of them all.

Before going into this, I was actually banking on better testing performance than my practices, which is how my SATs went.

I just began studying for the January 2027 LSAT, and I am confused on how to balance drilling with spoiling otherwise fresh PTs.

I am currently going through Dragon Test Prep Consulting LR/RC perfection books and with a full length PT every week. While I understand that there is an obvious benefit to drilling specific question types, and want to supplement my reading of these books with said drilling, I am confused as to how to go about making sure I don't burn through a ton of Q's that would otherwise be fresh on a PT. I feel like full-length PTs will be the most effective way to truly prepare for the LSAT, and want to have a good gauge of where I truly am, which I feel like would be hard if I am taking PTs with Q's I've already seen.

What should I do? Only drill with Q's I've already seem? Dedicate a couple of tests to be for drilling only? Just go willy nilly and drill my heart out? Open to any suggestions

Hello! Can someone please explain what is the purpose of this "Keyboard highlight" feature in the new LSAT format? I don't understand the difference between this and the regular highlight that I can do on my mouse.

Thanks!

I got a 164 in Sept 2025 and 162 for August 2026. Planning to take Sept in a couple weeks. Should I cancel the 162?

I took the June LSAT and got a 160. I continued studying and was getting low 160s on PTs. I got my August score back and got a 157. I'm trying to decide if I should cancel the August score and/or if I should retake the exam. Most of my target schools have a median of 161-164, so I'm below the median which worries me, but I'm also scared now that if I take it again I won't improve again. Any advice would be appreciated!

Hi! Wondering what exactly you guys noticed is the difference in patterns with the previous practice tests and the 150s. I know they are harder - but what exactly makes them harder? I found the real LSAT to be most reflective of the 150s tests, but I also struggled a lot on more on those that previous exams, dropping 5-6 points from my previous practice tests. My personal observation is that there seem to be more difficult Necessary Assumption and Weaken/Strengthen questions. Curious to hear your guys' thoughts!

Hey chat, I fear I have a bigggg problem. I have been studying for this test for almost 2 years. And I’m still scoring the same 😭😛

For reference: I took the official test twice.

April 2025- scored a 150

October 2025- scored a 151

And I took a practice test yesterday after studying consistently for the last 8 months and guess my score!! Drum roll…150!!!!! (Ugh) with untimed practice I was getting about 20/25 and 22/25 which is definitely my dream goal for this test under timed conditions. But I cannot complete all the questions and I overthink answer choices under timed stress. Any advice on how to stop overthinking answer choices when you are between two, and how to improve timed sections for both LR and RC.

I got a 160 on my Aug lsat and cancelled because it was lower than my previous (161; not the best decision I know but I was kind of panicking). Now I'm panicking more because what if it reflects negatively on my applications? Should I be panicking or is it not as bad as I'm thinking it is?

I was going to take the LSAT in October but will need to push it to November (score release is Dec 2) because I do not feel ready yet and nowhere near scoring to where I want which is 170+. But that means I would have to submit my apps in early December. Is that considered late in being competitive enough for a T-14 spot because some are saying it's at the end of the "early wave" of being considered. What are your thoughts/comments (realistically lol)?

I have one completely fresh PT left. I’m gonna keep studying, and will probably retake the test in November, for my 4th official attempt. I have a few questions:

Are the old PLSATs with logic games on them worth taking? If they are not worth taking, what should I do PT wise? I keep hearing that you should be PT-ing about 3-5 points above your goal score, but that’s a bit challenging to do if I’m running out of fresh or new tests.

Hey everyone! I'm obviously new on here coming from LSAT demon (needed a change and a softer tone lol). But I'm having difficulty navigating this site/the app. On LSAT Demon I was able to retake drills I got wrong but on here I can't seem to figure out how to.

Got my score back for August 2026 and like many, did not score where I was hoping to. I decided to push my application back a cycle shortly after taking my LSAT (wishing I came to this decision before I took the August test...) but am now going back to the drawing board and starting studying all over again. I want to focus on getting to where I want to be with PTs, comprehension and general confidence before retaking, so I'm prioritizing studying until I'm comfortable over studying for a certain date. That being said, I'd like to take it again far enough out that I'm not feeling rushed but close enough that I can retake in June 2027 with a similar gap in timing if needed. Should I aim to be ready in time for the January 2027 LSAT, or take the extra month and plan for the February LSAT? If anyone is in the same boat I would love to connect!!

First timer to the LSAT, trying to make a career change from education to law. Really frustrated with the first attempts score, i studied for 2 months, which obviously isn’t a lot of time for something like this. However, i edited my study plan on here to prepare for September and Novembers test. How are you guys studying to improve scores? Wrong answer journals, how do yall organize it? Is it possible to grow 10 points by September and November? Any and all advice is much appreciated.

any advice on how to break into the 170s? i can't seem to close my timed and BR score gap!

Good evening everyone!

I would like to have some feedback on the Argumentative portion of the LSAT and any would be greatly appreciated and helpful!

My first question, what did you use to prepare yourself for this portion of the test and what helped you the most on test day?

My second question is would it be better to take it before my exam or after my exam? I am taking the September LSAT on the 10th and I really want to focus solely on preparing for that and move my attention to the writing portion afterwards. I just want to hear if this is a good path or if I should do something different.

I am nervous for this part of the exam because I’m not sure how to condense my opinion into only a couple of paragraphs and not entire essays like I have in undergrad. Again any help would be so helpful to me!

Hope everyone is having a good week so far!

Also quick note: I saw on Reddit (and Ik I shouldn’t trust it) that I only have to do the writing portion once? Even if I take two exams? This confused me so I want to make sure.

Hello Everyone!

If you just got your score back and are disappointed, lets make a plan for success. I love to help students learn that the LSAT is a conquerable test! Let’s start with a consult so that we can chart everything out, so I know what your goals are and you know how we can best reach them together! For a bit of background here is what working together typically looks like:

Initial Consult (Getting You Set Up for Success):

Our first session is all about understanding you: your goals, your timeline, and how you learn best. We’ll cover:

• Your background and any prior LSAT prep

• Your strengths (e.g., Logical Reasoning vs. Reading Comprehension)

• Your target score and law school goals

• What you’ve tried so far and what has/hasn’t worked

From there, I’ll build a customized study plan tailored to you. Our typical ongoing session structure:

• Strategic Review – We review recent practice, track progress, and break down missed questions in detail.

• Targeted Lesson – Focused instruction based on your needs (e.g., flaw questions, strengthen/weaken, RC main point, timing strategy).

• Drill & Practice – Apply concepts immediately with guided drills and live problem-solving.

• Recap & Homework – Clear takeaways and a structured plan for what to work on before our next session.

My goal is not just to improve your score, but to help you develop a repeatable system for approaching every question with confidence. I like to be very hands on and supportive throughout your studying to both make sure you are learning to the best of your ability and that you have a good accountability partner! You will leave each class knowing what to do in our time apart!

Reach out via chat or post a comment and Ill reach out to you- lets get started this week on mastering the LSAT together!

Best,

John

Hi all! Panicked this morning reading everyones August experience/scores and took my first ever timed PT. It was PT 141, and I got a 165, -9 RC, -5 LR, -1LR. My previous Pt’s untimed were 168, 164, and 162, and diagnostic was a 153 about two months ago. My LR scores usually vary from -1 -6 timed (with a few outliers on bad days), and RC is -8-11 timed, with -2-3 untimed. 

I am signed up for October/November, with hopes to get the test done in October so I could apply earlier. I am aiming for a 170-173,  for lower t-14s/t-20s ( I am above their 75th percentile GPA for all).

Any tips on what to do at this point? I was doing the 5-6 hour study plan with a mix of drills and sections everyday, 6 days a week, but found myself getting burnt out. Should I focus solely on drills for my weakest points for the next week or two? Should they be timed or untimed? Mix in any timed sections? Any advice would be highly appreciated!

Also, I already WAJ by screenshotting the questions/answers, then writing out explanations on identifying premise and conclusion, and why the right answer is right and the others are wrong, with a note on what I should do next time/key takeaway. I find myself slacking/overwhelmed on reviewing these because there's so many questions and such long explanations for each. Any tips on how to make my WAJ/Review more effective? Should the WAJ be reviewed everyday? 

Sorry for the long post, and thank you all in advance!

Hi! I was told to apply by Halloween to get your app in on time, but I think I can do comparatively better on the LSAT in Nov vs October.

Is November still considered an early time to apply? Wondering if it’s worth it to rush the LSAT process a bit for an earlier application.

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!

I took the August LSAT and got a 146 from my original diagnostics being a 132. My goal score is around a 155 and plan on taking again in October. If anyone is available for tutoring please DM me or comment below.

Hey everyone! I’m looking for some help/guidance with LSAT prep, and potentially a tutor if anyone has recommendations. I just took the August LSAT and am planning to retake it, but I’m currently studying abroad, so unfortunately I’m limited to taking it again as early as January. I am hoping to make a significant score increase by January. If anyone can help I would really appreciate it. Thank you!

Hi I am looking for someone who is experienced to review my personal statement, application essays etc. for law school. I am applying this cycle. Appreciate if the rates are affordable.

Just for some context: I like reading all the comments when reviewing questions because sometimes students have better explanations. I noticed there’s a new feature in the comments that will show you how many people are on the same question, but when it updates that number, it will bring the comments back up to the beginning. This can be pretty annoying especially when I’ve spent time scrolling through dozens of comments and it will automatically bring me back up. Anyone else experiencing this? #help

I’m a very slow reader, especially on LSAT Reading Comprehension. When I take my time on a passage, my accuracy is quite high. But when I feel rushed or try to read faster to finish all four passages, my accuracy drops significantly.

Given this, would it be better for me to intentionally prioritize only three passages and essentially give up on the fourth, so I can read the first three carefully and maximize accuracy? Or should I continue trying to complete all four passages, even if that means reading faster and risking a substantial drop in accuracy?

In other words, for someone whose main problem is speed more than comprehension, is a “3 passages done well + strategic guessing on the 4th” strategy better than attempting all four with lower accuracy?
