Does anyone have any recommendations of what to study/ practice the week that I'm taking the LSAT. For the prior two weeks, I already have full lengths PT's planned twice a week, so I'm wondering if another PT is the method or if that will cause burn out/ not increase my score. Should I focus on questions by priority or stick to just timed sections to improve my time accuracy?

Hi! I am looking to learn more about which schools I should target this application cycle. I have been going to admissions AMA live sessions on 7Sage which are helpful, but I am looking for more specific advice about my personal application strategy.

Does anyone recommend an affordable admissions counseling service? I am open to Youtube video tutorials, group sessions, and more considering my budget seems below average for private counseling.

Any advice is great! Thank you all!

I can get around -5 on average on LR sections (best was -2), which I’m still not super satisfied with, but I’m registered for the September LSAT and idk how I’m supposed to get the same results under timed conditions. It usually takes me around 50–60 min to get those scores.

I know the main advice is to keep doing sections untimed and focus on accuracy until the timing naturally gets better, but with my test only a few weeks away, I don’t really have that much time to wait for that to happen. Any tips on what I should do? #help #lsatdrainsthelifeoutofme

Personal Essay

Hi everyone! I had a question. I took the LSAT in April 2026 and applied for schools in June 2026, so I was very late to the 2026 admissions cycle. One school waitlisted me but essentially asked for me to reapply for the 2027 cycle and even told me when their applications open (hopefully a good sign!). When reapplying, should I reuse my personal essay or write a new one? I really liked how the essay turned out, but I don't want to be seen as lazy. I am a first-generation law applicant, so I am unsure how this works. Thank you!

Ask Me a Question!

Hello! Just wanted to challenge myself as the September administration rolls around the corner. If you have any LSAT-related questions or concepts that you've been struggling with and you just can't wrap your head around it, I can try my best to help explain it! I'm not a tutor, but I have been studying for a long time and can hopefully gain some insight and deep review while helping you out!

Just leave the question number below, as well as any of the qualms you might have with the answer. Thanks!

Blind Review Help

I completed a PT, and I am doing the blind review. I noticed all of the questions are blank. Aside from the questions I flagged or 7Sage suggested I take another look at, the questions I answered, which I assume I answered correctly because they were not circled are now blank. I checked off the box that would leave correct answered questions. Can someone please help? Does this mean I need to do the PT all over again? And blind reviewing takes much longer.

Is it possible to update the font size before a practice drill?

Updating the font size during the drill, takes time away from focusing on the drill itself.

The default size in the practice drills is too small to read without straining my eyes.

What is the default size for LSAC?

Is it possible to recommend to LSAC to make changing the font size at the beginning (during the instructions phase of the test) before the test starts as an option as opposed to during the test?

applications

I am applying for fall 2027 admission and have not started any application process yet because I have not taken my first LSAT. I am taking the LSAT in October and potentially again in November. When should I be looking into the application process and starting that? Right now I am in the mindset that I wont begin any of that until I receive a score that I am happy with on the LSAT.

I’m looking for a tutor who can help me improve my official score of 161 (June 2026) to 16high by the October exam.

My most recent PT was a 163/170. Several of the incorrect questions came from misreads, rather than gaps in fundamental concepts. So I think there is a good chance for improvement.

A couple of must-haves for the tutor:

  1. The tutor should be willing to present his or her official LSAC score report on our first virtual meeting

  2. The tutor should have a trustworthy, reliable history of drill & PT scores on their 7sage profile. If there is no drill & PT scores on your 7sage profile, we cannot prove your study history

  3. Each class should consist of doing 1-2 problems together, and doing deep-dive analysis by comparing/contrasting how each of us approached the question

  4. The tutor should be open to email communication throughout the week

Lastly, if the student presented good potential to improve and that feels like it’s going to hamper your chances of admission, and you start to become passive-aggressive or start giving ineffective advice, please reconsider being on this platform.

I know that this is an onerous requirement, so my budget is $40-70, negotiable based on the length and provable effectiveness of teaching. I don’t think the fact that you currently attend a T14 is a reasonable foundation to ask for $100+. If we can strike a good deal, I can do multiple times during the week.

I am in KST zone, so I will try my best to accommodate both EST/PST.

Please shoot me a message if you are willing to schedule our first lesson!

Hi everyone! I am looking for advice on a topic I want to pursue for my personal statement, and was wondering if anyone could help or direct me to someone/somewhere that can help! I don't necessarily have the money to spend, especially since I currently just need some quick advice on my potential topic. Thank you!

So I've been studying consistently, drill consistently every day about a section a day review and then two passages, vice versa (RC section the 10q LR) ... I've been seeing a huge gap between my first pass score timed sections, vs. my blind review. I've been keeping up on my wrong answer journal, I definitely see an improvement on the way I approached certain question types, but in all honesty I'm a bit nervous because I registered for the October test. Any tips?

Hello, whenever on the 7sage site I get 1 question at a time, I always do blind review if i did not get it correct the first time.

However, I have a problem when i get multiple questions, since I don't want to blind review if i did not know which questions I got right or not. Is there a way to blind review multiple questions but only do it for the ones that the system knows I got wrong?

1

Has anyone else using the stop-and-start accommodation noticed that when you pause the exam on LawHub, any answers you've crossed out don't persist (as in only the selected answer shows when you resume)? This makes it really hard to track which choices I'd already eliminated in a section, especially if I need to pause mid-question.

I've reached out to LSAC about whether this also happens in the actual test-day environment, or if it's just a LawHub practice quirk, but haven't gotten a clear answer yet in over 2 weeks. Has anyone tested this on an actual administration with this accommodation, or found a workaround?

Appreciate any insight — trying to figure this out before my October test.

I applied very late in the cycle for 2026 admission and did not get into schools. Do I completely scrap my admissions essay and start over? I am re-taking the LSAT in October.

I just came here to vent, but also look for help. I've been studying since last August, and it feels like I'm stuck in the same place. I've read the books, I've done the wrong answer journals, and I did the fundamentals on 7Sage, but it feels like nothing is working. On the drills, I feel way more comfortable, consistently getting just one or two wrong depending on how many, and even level 4/5 questions I get right every time. My diagnostic was a 148, but since then I've only had PT scores that are 153-155. Whenever I do sections for LR, I get about -9 to -7 on the first go, but on my Blind Reviews I'm consistently getting -3 to -2. The same goes for my PTs, where my blind reviews have been improving as I went from 165 to now scoring consistently in the 168 to 170 range. I've spent months trying to close this gap, but literally nothing is doing it. I'm already taking a gap year and plan to test in November; however, with my new full-time job, it's even harder to study. If I wasn't improving before, I don't see how I would now with this new schedule. At this point, I want to give up.

Has anyone felt this way? What are some tips, and how did you close your gap or motivate yourself?

January LSAT

Hey Everyone any recommendations on January Lsat, any admissions officers here with tips or if anyone knows people from the past. I know a lot of schools work on rolling admissions but would someone that scored in November and January with the same score do they have the same chance from acceptance and scholarship wise. Also, can u still get a full ride in January and a good acceptance rate or even any good scholarship?

Help!

I need advice! I write my LSAT for the first and only time on October 9th. I was planning to take all of September off to study. However, I just got an offer for a full-time job. It seems really relaxed and good. If I accept, I'm worried I won't do well enough on my LSAT. If I reject, I'm worried I won't be able to find another job after the LSAT. Since I don't live with my parents, I need some kind of income to allow me to pay rent and all that. Does anyone have advice? Anything would be greatly appreciated!

Any advice on how to improve RC asap? I am taking the September LSAT, and I am aiming for mid 160's. My RC section consistently brings my score down. I always seem to run out of time because I am taking too long to read the passages, but I can't imagine reading them any faster than I am. Help!!

Also, any advice on how to get rid of trap answers is welcome, I'd love to get my BR score lol

is anyone interested in reviewing each other's personal essays? I read some advice that having 3 people read your essays is a good idea - someone who knows you really well, someone who knows you somewhat, and someone who doesn't really know you at all. :)
