I am simply not built for pressure.

My PT scores have reflected a 165 average and I was feeling confident heading into this October Test.

For whatever reason, after the first section, my brain could not process words.

I felt so strong on S1 LR, then S2 RC, felt mid, but i'm always mid at RC. But my S3(LR), I swear I must've got 10 wrong. Q3 on that section took me 4 mins to complete on top of the fact that im not even sure if I got it right. I had no rhythm and no flow. It was painful trying to comprehend the argument, I was having trouble eliminated answers, so on and so forth. This was completely different from my S1.

With that said, I can say I'd be lucky to get a 155 or better on this test. I am just so upset that I didn't perform to my capabilities ):

ts is making me sick...GOOD LUCK OT ANYONE WRITING MWAH

Hey guys, just wrote the LSAT for the 3rd time, and wanted to share a little piece of advice, especially for those with test anxiety.

1. 99% of people are stressed out when they first sit down, you're likely no different. My best piece of advice is once you sign into the program, take a couple deep breaths, and DO NOT begin until you've calmed down - at least a bit. Use the fact that you must manually start you test to your advantage, if it takes you 10 minutes from when the proctor sits you down, so be it.

2. Use the break wisely. Go to the bathroom even if you don't think you need to, eat something even if you're not hungry (nothing to heavy) and decompress for a couple seconds. Your brain needs it!

3. Don't overreact when you leave the test room. My first time writing I left feeling miserable, and ended up scoring 6 points higher then I was "guess" 160->166. My second time writing I thought I beat the LSAT and was internally thinking 170+. I got a 162. It goes to show that with a multiple-choice test, you simply don't know and there is no point of stressing out for three weeks. What's done is done!

Goodluck!

Hi,

Is there a way to mark a single section as viewed? I sometimes do section pratices on LawHub and would like to mark them as viewed on 7sage. Thanks!

I just finished my second official exam. While I feel like I did worse than my first take, had terrible sleep last night, and have dealt with sinus issues the last two days, I am proud of myself for showing up and will accept whatever my score is. I am open hearted to how things will unfold. And an important reminder: this score does not define mine - or anyone's - value.

Good luck to all of those taking the test this week!

I am currently a full time student in college, Junior, who wants to go to law school straight out of college. I plan on taking the Jan 2027 LSAT then possibly taking it again over the summer, depending on my score.

I have a 3.95 GPA but I score mid 150s to 160 on my practice tests and drills. I started studying for the LSAT in June 2026 but now, I can't seem to focus on studying consistently anymore while prioritizing school. Does anyone have any advice to share to help me get out of this funk??

Not just PTs but even the drills I've been doing this week. I feel like I am panic forgetting everything.

I was hoping for a feature similar to reddit's post saving and 7Sage's question/note saving features for discussion posts but the closest feature we have is the "following," but I don't want to be notified for every single comment.

I feel like I don't quite know how to write this essay.

Hi, all -

I don't have problems finishing all the questions in a timed section, and I have gotten very efficient at completing the first 15 questions in 15 minutes. Would it be smart to start with question 20 and try to tackle the hardest questions when I am freshest?

Should I be taking PTS if I havent gone through all of LR or RC yet in my study plan?

Hello! My name is Lia, and I am offering tutoring services for $90/hour.

My diagnostic score was 163, and I scored a 180 on my first LSAT this September after studying for 6 months on 7Sage. I did not have a tutor and relied mainly on teaching each question to myself, using the written and video explanations for support.

I knew that receiving tutoring would not have benefited me to the degree that teaching a question to myself and fully understanding it through this process benefitted me, but I also recognize that not everyone learns the same way, and having a tutor can make the process more efficient for some people.

With some time on my hands, I have decided to tutor the LSAT. I have been a tutor for college students since 2022, mainly tutoring math and computer programming. Even though it was not the LSAT, it means I have years of experience conveying and teaching complicated subjects to others. In terms of direct LSAT tutoring experience, I have also begun tutoring the LSAT over the past few months, and my clients have seen progress and requested continued support.

If you're interested in my services, feel free to comment or send me a DM! Or even if you just want some general advice or to chat, I love connecting with dedicated law school applicants!

Can anyone who is a night owl and took an early morning LSAT test tell me they didn't poop the bed??? Super nervous to take my test tomorrow. I usually wake up at 10 AM and even though I tried to fix my schedule before test day I woke up at 8, 8:30, and then 10 today.... There was NO time option for after 8 am... I was there the moment my scheduling opened too. :( Im planning on waking up at 6 am, taking an instant walk, eating a nice light breakfast, and then doing like 3 LR questions. I'm so scared about the morning being an issue I rented a hotel room just to be 30 minutes closer to the test site XD

Hello! I am planning on applying to law schools at the end of October. I am currently in the revision part of my personal statement and I have been looking into the editing options but everything seems so expensive. Can anyone send me someone they used maybe a 7sage tutor or even a law student that they used to revise their letter. I am sending it to family as well but I would like someone with some knowledge about the law application process. Also if anyone wants to offer some advice for law school applications that would be greatly appreciated!!

Is there a way for us to individually edit the way our block are structured? I am looking to add a more balanced approach to the blocks, but they seem to provide more focus to LR over RC for example.

I could just study RC drill sets, but I would prefer if these were already embedded within my study block/plan so that way I know I am completing the amount of RC related studying.

Any insights are greatly appreciated 😊

Over the last 10 years, I’ve found that I default to three things when I’m dealing with a lot of self-doubt or anxiety:

1. Movies. I’ve been watching old, feel-good movies from the 1980s, like Overboard with Goldie Hawn (if you’re a girl who loves rom-coms, this one is great). The Secret Life of Walter Mitty also always makes me feel more adventurous and hopeful about the world. I also love Silver Linings Playbook - it reminds me that the characters we relate to and gravitate toward are often messy and imperfect. There’s something comforting about that, and it takes some of the pressure off wanting a perfect score or a perfect career. Finally, the scene in Bridesmaids where Melissa McCarthy's character gives Kristen Wiig's character a pep talk is always a motivational tearjerker for me.

2. Comedy. I’ve been binge-watching Jimmy Carr lately. His humor can be pretty crude, but he’s also incredibly smart and often gives surprisingly insightful and genuine advice. I’ve especially been enjoying his YouTube Shorts.

3. Reading stories about successful people who have failed. Some of my recent favorites:

   • Vera Wang: Failed to make the U.S. Olympic figure-skating team and was later reportedly passed over for the editor-in-chief position at Vogue. She pivoted and launched her bridal business around age 40, becoming one of the world’s most famous designers.

   • Toni Morrison: Her first book was rejected by multiple publishers and initially sold poorly when it was finally published at age 39. She later won both the Pulitzer Prize and the Nobel Prize in Literature.

   • Steven Spielberg: Was reportedly rejected from both USC and UCLA’s film programs because of his grades, but kept making films and eventually became one of the most successful directors in history.

Surprisingly, ChatGPT also gave me some advice that really helped calm me down:

1. Hard questions are supposed to feel hard. Even people who score 175+ encounter questions and passages that feel difficult. I’ve had plenty of passages and drills where I thought something was incredibly hard, reasoned my way through it, and ended up getting -0.

2. How you feel isn’t necessarily how you did. I got a 2380/2400 on the SAT in high school (yes, I’m a little older, if you can tell from the scale lol), but I nearly canceled my score because I was convinced I had tanked it after comparing answers with a girl I thought was way smarter than me. My mom convinced me that, after all the time I’d spent studying, I owed it to myself to see my score. It ended up being the highest I had ever gotten - even higher than my practice tests.

3. You don’t know which section is experimental. If I think I bombed one section, my instinct is to think, “Well, I’ve fucked up the whole test.” But that section might not even count.

4. Remember you’re surrounded by your people. Taking the LSAT at a testing center actually brings me some comfort because everyone in that room understands what I’ve been going through - we’re all going through it together at that exact moment. It makes me feel a little less alone.

5. Shrink the timeline. Don’t think about how much the LSAT matters, what score you’ll get, or where you’ll get into law school. Think about the single question in front of you. That’s all you need to solve right now.

6. Give yourself a safety net if it's financially possible. I purchased Score Preview - not because I plan to cancel my score, but because knowing I have an absolute last resort gives me some breathing room and takes some pressure off test day.

I’d love to hear any other tips or thoughts people have for calming themselves down!

I scored 165 on the August LSAT, and I'm registered for November. Now, I'm scoring around 168/169 and struggling to make that final jump into the 170s. I'm looking for other students who are either in the low 160s and really motivated to grow, and/or someone scoring in the mid 170s who enjoys explaining things!

I think having a score gap can be helpful because it challenges you to say every step and assumption out loud to make sure the other person is following, so that's why I'm looking to connect with people who are scoring above or below me, but anyone who wants to comb through the questions carefully would be great!

I've been out of school for a fear years (late 20s) and I'm hoping to wrap up with a 170+ in November ◡̈ We'd meet via zoom, ideally in the evenings because I work. Would love to get through this final month with some support!

Hello,

I am in need of some advice/guidance, as I would be considered a non traditional applicant. I have worked in corporate nearly 14 years, and I am currently pursuing my Doctorate degree in Business at the University of Florida. I would like to attend law school after completing the program. I am also a recently divorced mother of two. So that self doubt is trying to take over. I am a bit nervous as to how admission boards will view me, especially considering my gpa for undergrad was a 3.12. My GPA for my dual masters is 3.65, and currently have a 4.0 in my doctorate program…….with time, came wisdom. I know that the undergrad gpa is what’s counted, so how heavily will it be held against me? Also, are there any school suggestions that may align better with my situation?

Thanks in advance.

We're given: The Ridge fire is lit. Rule 3 states "If the Mill fire is lit, the Well fire or the Ridge fire is lit"

- Since it's an "or" statement, only one of the conditions (Well or Ridge fires being lit) need to occur. The Ridge fire is lit, so why would we not be able to tell that the Mill is lit or unlit?

Thanks!

I just started filling out the Employment section for an application. It states "List all employment including internships." At two of my employers, I was promoted several times and had multiple positions.

Should I create a separate entry for each position, or just include the employer as a single entry?

Hi, just wondering if there's anyone else near UCF who wants to form a study group! I don't take mine until next year so want a good starting point. Let me know, or you can message my instagram sgnylah.
