Hello,

I dropped by 2 points the second time I took my LSAT. Neither score are ones I am happy with, idealing wanting to jump at least 8 points. Should I risk taking a third time? What if I get even worse the third time around or they see three rounds of no improvement? Not sure what to do!

I'm having trouble translating without claims back into english after using logic. For example:

"There can be no rule of law without individual freedom"

Negate sufficient: ROL ---> IF

But when I read this back to myself, how would I frame it?

"If there is rule of law, then there is individual freedom?" Is that what would work here? Please help!!!

Hi everyone- I am currently going through the foundation section of the curriculum and I am now under the Conditional and Set Logic portion. Is it necessary going through the entire foundation curriculum before going into LR. Since there is so many question types in LR I was hoping to learn a new LR type each Monday and focus heavy on identifying the question type, breaking it down and answering it.

Am I wasting time? It has been very helpful but I wanted to know if you all went straight through it or bounced around... for time purposes. I am hoping to take the test in April, but may push back to June.

Hi hi!

It is officially the last week of the February 2025 LSAT and I have been receiving mixed advices of what to do in this last week. Some say do around 2 timed sections per day and don't do anything the day before the test, and some other say keep it chill, do at most one section per day or drills, don't do too much.

I am kinda lost, and I don't really know what is "too much" or "too little," so I would appreciate any advices, thoughts, or past experience on this. Thank you and good luck to whoever is taking it this month!!!

Hello,

I was wondering if I should blind review my first test? I'm not really familiar with anything in the LSAT yet nor do I fully know what blind reviewing is so I'm just wondering on if I should do it for my diagnostic!

I almost always do considerably better on the experimental section than on the scored one. Generally speaking, improvement is still happening on LR questions, but it's infuriating for my scores to be somewhat static because I do better on the unscored section. Anybody else experienced this and/or found a fix for it? Is the experimental easier?

How should I be reading the target times for RC?

Final bits of crunch prep before the Feb 8th LSAT, and I'm struggling most with worrying about time. I noticed that RC Drills have both a Target Time Goal for the passage AND the questions, so how should I be interpreting the time? Is the target time that's listed under the passage specifically for the passage? and separate from the target times of the questions?

Say, for example, my elapsed time for a passage was 3:33 but the target time is 8:53. That target time of 8:53, does that include the questions for the section as well? or is that solely for the passage itself and I should be taking that and adding the additional target times from the questions to gauge the overall target time for a RC section.

Hi,

I took the lsat back in November and completed the writing section then. It was approved. I'm taking the lsat again in February and am wondering if it's at all worthwhile to do the writing section again? I know you're only required to have one take, but I'm wondering if having 2 submitted writing sections would somehow be helpful for admissions? Like providing them with 2 writing samples instead of 1? Not sure what my best move is here, I appreciate any thoughts!

Thank you!

Hey everyone, I'm scoring around low 160s and having a lot of trouble with Flaw/Descriptive Weakening questions. Even after reviewing the core lessons, I'm having trouble identifying an approach beyond this test: "1) descriptively accurate 2) describing the flaw." I feel like this approach is vague, and it rarely singles out an answer for me. Anyone have some tricks they can share for approaching those 4/5 star Flaw questions? Thanks.

My current University GPA is a 3.94 which could basically get me into any law school if my other factors are good enough. The only problem is that I took dual credit courses in high school that will lower my LSAC GPA to a 3.7. I started dual credit my freshman year of high school, so I was only 15 years old when I earned the majority of these poor grades. Any reasonable person could assume that the bad grades I made when I was 15 and fresh out of middle school do not reflect my performance as a law student/lawyer, especially considering that my university GPA is a 3.9. Complaining aside, my genuine question is: will law schools take this into consideration? Or will they just look at my 3.7 and immediately dismiss me?

I know a 3.7 can still get me into law school but all my dream schools have 3.8 or 3.9 medians. I'm feeling extremely discouraged because I totally forgot about these dual credit grades until now. I've been studying extra hard to meet these schools median LSATs and now it feels kind of pointless. Any insight into the brains of admissions councils will help!!

Hi! I understand the value in drilling to learn concepts, but I am also big on following the lessons in the course syllabus. Wondering how other people use both in their study plan? I am a bit confused by how the drills section is set up... I am wondering if it is because I am just getting to the "grammar" section of the course? Will I understand how to select those better once I have covered more of the lessons? Open to any help or suggestions :) Thank you!

Hi all, I applied to some law schools last year but it didn't work out for me as I'd hoped. Now I am reapplying to some of these programs for the Fall '25 and was wondering if I need new letters of recommendations? For reference, I am fully employed but my work situation is currently more or less the same as the last time I applied. Also, I've been working for almost 3 years now, so am wondering if it's ok to include one LoR from grad school and 1 from work, or whether both should be from people who have known me recently, ie. work? Thanks in advance for answers!

TLDR:

  • LSAT is a marathon not a sprint don’t burn yourself out
  • 7Sage tutoring is actually worth the money
  • Give yourself more time to study that you think you’ll need
  • Celebrate the small wins!
  • Yes, you can bring your score up significantly but it takes time
  • If I can raise my score by 23 points so can you, but you have to have GRIT
  • Be proud of whatever score you receive by knowing that you gave it your all
  • The first time I took the LSAT (my diagnostic test) I literally scored a 45. No, you didn’t read that wrong, no it wasn’t a 145, quite literally it was 45. For reference I have never done well at standardized tests, (I'm both dyslexic and have ADHD) I did so embarrassingly bad on the SAT that I didn’t send my scores to universities. But after religiously studying with the 7sage curriculum and receiving the accommodations I desperately needed, I was able to earn a 145 on my second exam roughly four months after my diagnostic! While it was a significant improvement, it wasn’t anywhere near where I wanted to be. I wanted a 170.

    I knew that the higher the score I received the more scholarships I could potentially get. I’m an immigrant and first generation college graduate and knew my parents wouldn’t be able to help me financially during law school. I also knew I wanted to go into civil rights work, so I couldn’t rely on any big law money to pay off loans. So I got to work GRINDING on studying for this test.

    I worked full time at a law office and every night after work I would come home and study for 2-3 hours each night, except for Fridays which were my rest days. I would take a practice test Saturday mornings and spend Sundays reviewing the results. My mindset for this exam was it is a marathon, not a sprint. I would still go out and have fun with my friends on Saturday nights but instead of drinking tequila sodas like everyone else, I was drinking seltzer water with lemon because I knew I had to be up the next day to study. For an entire year I was primarily sober at parties and events, and still had a great time!

    I started studying in January 2023, convinced that I could pull my score up to at least the high 160s by August, and boy was I delusional. I’m sure others would be able to do that, but I most certainly was not. I decided to defer applying for a year to get my score up. I ended up scoring a 161 on the November LSAT. While it wasn’t my dream score and I knew I would have to take the test again, I was still INCREDIBLY proud of myself. Up to that point I had been scoring in the high 150s, so this was a major win. You need to celebrate the small wins along the way.

    I used my law firm bonus to pay for tutoring through 7Sage and it was some of the best money I ever spent. They helped me break down what I was missing and I began scoring in the high 160s and had my first 170! I was signed up for the April 2024 LSAT ready to absolutely crush it, and then got laid off from my law firm job (rip) two weeks beforehand. I ended up choking on the test and got a 163. While happy my score had gone up, I was devaaaaastated it didn’t reflect my practice tests. I decided to take a break from studying and took two months off because I was burned out. I started studying again in June 2024 while starting to write my applications and took the September LSAT scoring a 168 in the 95 percentile!

    While I had scored higher on practice tests before (I only got to that 170 once) I was still so unbelievably proud of myself because I knew I had given this test everything I could have. I sent out my applications this past fall and am eagerly waiting to hear back from schools (3(/p)
