Hello,

I got a 163 in April, a 165 in June and a 160 in August…. I signed up to be able to cancel my score after the August test because I just knew it didn’t go well, but I didn’t realize schools still see the cancellation. Should I cancel my August score? I don’t want my last score to reflect my worst score.

Hi everyone! I’m hoping to get some honest insight from people familiar with law school admissions, especially anyone who has experience with applicants whose LSAC GPA is significantly lower than their undergraduate GPA.

My situation is a little weird:

LSAC GPA: ~2.8 Undergraduate GPA: 4.00 (BA Honours) Current LSAT practice scores: around 150 Goal: I’m hoping to continue increasing my LSAT score before applying.

I also completed an advanced diploma at a college before my bachelor’s degree, and some of those grades are contributing significantly to my LSAC GPA.

The first year of my college program was during COVID, and I was also dealing with significant immigration issues and some health/personal circumstances at the time. My academic performance during that period was much weaker than it was later on. It was just a super bad year.

I eventually completed my BA Honours with a 4.00 GPA, so there is a pretty significant upward academic trend. I also completed the degree pretty quickly and performed consistently well in my upper-level coursework.

I’m trying to be realistic about my chances rather than just hear “apply and see.” With a 2.8 LSAC GPA, 4.0 undergraduate GPA, and an LSAT currently around 150, how would admissions committees likely view my application?

A few questions I’d especially appreciate insight on:

- How much does the 4.0 undergraduate GPA/upward trend help when the LSAC GPA is 2.8?

- Would the circumstances surrounding my earlier grades be worth addressing in an addendum, particularly COVID and immigration issues?

- If I can raise my LSAT into the 155–160+ range, does that substantially change my options?

- Are there particular types of schools where someone with this GPA/LSAT profile might still have a realistic shot? If anyone has had a similar low LSAC GPA but strong later undergraduate performance, I’d really appreciate hearing about your experience.

I’m planning to apply broadly and am willing to be realistic about school selection. I’d just like to understand whether the 2.8 LSAC GPA is going to be an automatic barrier despite the 4.0 BA GPA.

Thanks in advance for any honest advice!

Hi! Just looking for some general advice, I am taking the September LSAT and am currently scoring pretty consistently in the 170-173 range. I have been and will continue doing a lots of in-depth drilling on my weak points and I already do deep-dive BR's, but I was just curious if anyone had any advice on how/if they made that jump, and if it came slower/faster, or any other real insights you have!

As it stands, I feel so close to the cusp but often find myself making those slight errors here and there which end up accumulating and biting me in the butt, which of course these have to be severely limited to non-existent for a higher 170. In terms of fatigue, that's not really an issue, in terms of individual sections I am pretty consistent whether it be through a PT or just one section so I don't think that'd be of much help I believe.

I am open to answering any questions about my current weaknesses, study methods, etc! And any advice is welcome, no matter how unorthodox or off the beaten path haha! Thanks for taking the time to read!

I have tried live sessions and the instructors talk extremely fast. If its beginner there's no way for us to learn with them speaking so fast. Then the ones attending are definitely not beginners.

Hi everyone! I've been looking through some posts and see tutoring sessions for the LSAT but I am more interested in having someone with experience in what admissions want to read over my personal statement and a couple "Why X School" essays for my top schools. I also need an affordable hourly rate plz, I work full time and pay for everything on my own and this whole process is already so expensive haha. Does anyone on here do this or able to point me to someone that does?

Hi guys! I’m currently in the process of writing my personal statements and am looking into affordable options for getting feedback on my essays and overall applications.

I’ve seen some positive discussions about Anderson Admissions, and the two most affordable options that caught my attention were the personal statement grading session and the 72-hour personal statement review but I noticed that the 72-hour review uses AI technology, so I’m curious if anyone here has used either service and felt that it was worth the money.

If you’ve had experience with either of these, I’d love to hear your thoughts! I’m also open to recommendations for other affordable and reliable services for getting feedback on personal statements and law school applications. Thank you !

Is anyone taking the lsat from Canada, around Toronto for the sept lsat? The only test centres are in the USA :(

There are no spots available in Canada

So I did not get into law school this cycle. My LSAT was low but decided to apply anyways. I am back to studying and want to know if I should start all over from the beginning with studying or pick up where I left off?

I've plateaued for a while but this is an encouraging sign!

Hi everyone! I got a 142 on the June LSAT and have been studying since then, but I’m still not very confident in understanding why I’m getting certain questions wrong or how to properly review my mistakes.

I’m planning to take the LSAT again in October and November and was wondering if anyone has recommendations for a good tutor who can help me actually understand where I’m going wrong and improve from there.

I also work full-time from 8–5, so I would need someone who can meet either early in the morning or later in the evening.

If anyone has had a good experience with an LSAT tutor who can accommodate that schedule, I’d really appreciate any recommendations! Thank you!

Being able to mark completed videos as watched. And ability to sort recorded sessions by watched/ unwatched.

I am retaking the LSAT in September. I completed the argumentative writing section with my June test. Do I need to complete another one for this exam or is it 1 writing for all LSATs?

Hi! I’m looking for someone who wants to study consistently in the evenings through the fall. I’m not really looking for a drilling partner or someone to review questions with—I already have a tutor and study plan. I’m mainly looking for accountability/body doubling.

Ideally, we’d meet on Zoom for about 1–2 hours in the evenings EST time zone, keep cameras on, and independently work on our own LSAT assignments. We could check in briefly at the beginning about what we’re working on and at the end about what we completed, but otherwise we’d just study quietly.

I’m hoping to find someone who’s serious about studying consistently and would like the same kind of structure/accountability. I’d ideally like to meet most weeknights, with Wednesdays off.

If you’re looking for something similar, feel free to message me!

Hi - I am looking to hire someone with significant experience to help me with my personal statement (and potentially general app consulting as well).

Please comment if you know of someone really good or if you are a consultant yourself!

Many thanks

On my initial LR section, I missed 4 questions. During Blind Review, I reviewed 8 questions and got all 8 correct pretty quickly. 

The biggest difference was my anxiety level. During the timed section, I felt extremely anxious and noticed that I was rushing to the ACs, not giving each AC the same level of consideration, and sometimes just scanning for the answer that matched my prediction rather than fully evaluating all five choices.

During BR, without the same pressure, the questions felt much more straightforward. Two of the questions I missed were only 1–2 star difficulty questions, including the very first question. When I reviewed them afterward, the correct answers felt almost obvious.

Has anyone dealt with a similar gap between their timed performance and BR because of test anxiety? If so, what helped you slow down, properly evaluate each AC, and think as clearly during the actual exam as you do during BR?

Taking my last attempt in October. My goal is 175. Still have a long way to go but Im so proud of how much I've improved<3

I think my biggest weakness on the LSAT is timing. Are there any general tips and tricks to timing that could help me close the gap between my timed PT and the blind review? I know practicing and building my intuition is a huge part of it, but I wanted to see if there is anything else that could help. Thanks!

Hi! I feel like it would be really beneficial if there was a cheaper subscription tier for after having taken the LSAT but still going through the admission process. I am currently considering canceling my subscription if I end up not needing to retake the LSAT (fingers crossed) but would like to still have access to the helpful admissions materials and discussions. Maybe this is already and option that I haven’t explored.

I received 159 score on my last exam and got a very high Blind review. Now I took a practice section and didn't do well. In fact, I took an old section to see if I improved and I did worse. And one of the questions I got wrong is an easy question I spent considerable time studying and showed improvement . I also got a tutor too. I'm just so sad

Would it be possible for us to add a "incorrect on last x takes" (e.g. last 3 takes, last 2 takes, etc)? Some times I want to target questions that I've been incorrect more than once but when I click on that I often get questions that I later understood; while incorrect on last take might've been a silly mistake. I feel like an incorrect on last x consecutive takes would be super helpful. Just a thought!

I am officially locked in for september. All I want is a 158/160. I just scored a 156 with great LR sections and then a -13 on RC.

Nothing is clicking in RC - any tips to get to atleast a -9/-8 in just over 2 weeks…?

Hi! Looking for some advice on building endurance for the LSAT, especially for the last section of a PT/test.

I’m taking the September LSAT and lately I’ve been scoring around the mid-160s, but I’ve noticed a pretty consistent pattern where my last section is significantly worse than my earlier sections. For example, on my most recent PT my earlier LR was around -4, but my last LR initially came out to -11 with a -4 on BR.

I’ve noticed the same thing on a couple recent PTs where I feel like my accuracy/decision-making just drops toward the end and primarily in the fourth section.

I work full time, so a lot of my studying is before/after work, and I’m wondering if anyone has dealt with something similar and found a good way to specifically train that 3rd/4th section endurance without just constantly taking full PTs.

Any tips or things that worked for you would be really appreciated :)

Hi! JY mentions a lesson reviewing the embedded conditionals present in

PT140.S3.Q24 does anyone have the link or understand this?

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this, but I noticed a bug with the drill section when in full screen mode. When you are reviewing your questions, the background of the screen (behind the box of question numbers and answers and all that) goes black. I was in light mode. When I exited full screen it went back to normal.

I just wanted to let you know!

I'm happy to answer more questions if necessary.

Scoring in the low 160s but my RC score is not good. Looking for a study buddy thats is in the 140s or low 150s and help them while working on improving my skills. Looking to meet 1-2 times a week from 5-6 pm est. Only looking for one study buddy so message me if you are interested!
