Hi everyone - I'm looking for a tutor for the Nov. LSAT. I got a 165 on the September test and a 170 on my most recent PT and am really hoping for at least a 172 in November, so I'd like to work with someone who can help me iron out those final questions that I'm getting wrong.

I'd really like to work with someone who is actively engaged in my questions and can help me spot the common errors I'm making, especially with LR. My time zone is EST.

Thank you so much!

Check out 2 new features:

Test Day Disruption mode is now available for PTs and sections. It simulates test-day conditions by giving you the opportunity to experience random glitches and background noise.

• Glitches: Once per section, you'll be disconnected for up to two minutes and must wait it out before resuming.

• Background noise: Choose Library (recommended) or Politics and Profanity (try it ).

• Turn these features on or off (or change the background noise) by using the training modes dropdown on the start screen or the 3-dot menu during a section/PT.

Printing: You can now print drills and sections from the three-dot menu. (PTs can be printed there too, or the usual way, from the PrepTests page).

PT 144: Score 159. Too many PT's are frying my brain it seems, meaning that they're getting a little counterproductive. Going to review wrong answer journal today and do the BR for PT 144 tomorrow. Possibly PT two days from today. Going to explore avenue of using tutoring depending on how next PT goes.

I take the LSAT again today. Now while I expect to jump some points. It won’t be a whole lot. I’m a reverse splitter, for reference I got low 15x, but I have a 4.12, what would be your advice to someone in my spot

My dearest October test takers,

I have come to share some pre-test tips to maximize performance for the LSAT. My credentials: I have a Bachelors degree in Psychology.

1. Sleep is the most effective method you can utilize. Your brain NEEDS sleep to make new connections and store information. Taking the LSAT while tired is a very, very bad idea. Start sleeping well NOW, so if you don't sleep the best the night before, you still have some sleep banked.

2. Do NOT cram, try to learn new information, take another prep test, or try out new strategies on test day. We want to keep things as consistent as possible. Cramming is only going to fatigue your brain. You know how to answer these questions, now you want to focus on making sure you aren't burnt out or sick of the LSAT on test day.

3. You need to hydrate! Even being slightly dehydrated can impact your cognitive function. Drink lots of water, you can even add in a cup of Gatorade every day until the test if you'd like. Alcohol is dehydrating, so I'd suggest not having any until after the test.

4. Exercise and fresh air. Get outside, get sunlight, and get some kind of movement. Whether it's a walk, an at-home workout, going to the gym, or whatever your preferred type of movement may be, now's the time to make sure you don't neglect it.

5. Nutrition. Your brain runs on glucose, so have pasta and fruit. Since some of you will be testing in two days from now, I implore everyone to do their absolute best to eat nutritious foods. You can still have something fun! Just make sure you're getting lots of plants, protein, fiber, healthy fats, and carbohydrates. This is especially important for your breakfast the day of the test, and your supper the night before the test. Also, have a good snack with you on test day. Protein bars, cliff bars, a piece of fruit, something that will give you proper energy.

6. Protect your mental state. Stay off social media, meditate, journal, spend quality time with people you love, cuddle an animal, anything to keep you at peace. These next few days are about staying calm and building confidence.

I wish you all the very best of luck, we are going to absolutely crush this test!

Hi guys! I would love to find a study buddy (or maybe even a group) to begin this LSAT journey with. I am trying to lock in and stay consistent. I would love to take April's LSAT, but I am not too sure how realistic this is. I am on the East Coast and usually study in the evenings after work. I am open to any connection, whether that's accountability check-ins, tips and tricks to share, or just a friend along the way. I believe in us!!

We improved Spotlight search (⌘K). Results are now grouped into Lessons and Questions, so it's easier to scan for what you're looking for.

If there are more matches than fit in the preview, click the "see all" link under either group to view every lesson or question matching your search.

Just a small quality-of-life improvement to help you get where you want to go faster. Let us know what you think!

I am taking the January LSAT, with scores being released on February 3rd, and one of my top schools deadline is February 1st. Will they still review it?

I take the test this Saturday and I'm nervoussss.

I started studying in May/June. My cold diagnostic was a 149, and in early September, I was up to a 163 and BR around a 174.

I took kind of a long break of about 2 weeks. I was getting everything ready for my last year of school and trying to give myself some time to myself. I took a PT this last weekend after my break and scored a 159 and it kinda tanked my confidence.

I really don't want to take another year before applying, as I'd have to work and study, which I did this summer and I hated it, so now I'm feeling super nervous as this is kind of my "one shot" as I've never taken the test before.

Is there any advice y'all could give me about nerves? How did everyone focus on over-performing on test day? I'm going to take one more full PT before my test (probably today) but I'm feeling hella nervous since I want to go to a T30 and end up in NYC.

But good luck to all of us!!!!! :)

Taking the LSAT for the first time in November and I can't seem to bridge the gap between my BR scores and timed scores. Tbf I started doing practice untimed and then moved to doing timed last week but I'm feeling super discouraged about my timed scores and don't know what to do. Any advice for getting better at timed is v appreciated

I'm taking the LSAT for the third time in November, and I'm honestly feeling a bit discouraged. Whenever I take the older PTs, I do well: on PT 134 and 132, for instance, I scored 178. On the more recent PTs (150s), though, I don't do nearly as well. I just finished PT 155 and I'd felt quite confident about my performance on the LR sections, but I scored a 170. I don't want to give up on getting a high LSAT score, as I think I have the potential in me, but I'm not sure how to proceed.

Hello! I have gotten conflicting advice on how to write my personal statement. I have seen LSAT tutors say to write it about a specific story and how that taught you something that drives you to go to law school. I talked with my Pre-Law advisor at school and she gave me opposite advice. She told me to briefly talk about the moment I realized I wanted to go to law school and then for the rest of the essay talk about skills that I have that make me a good candidate for law school. Which of these is a better style? I can put a brief overview of the two different kinds that I have written that may give a little more context. Which of these options are stronger?

Option 1: I start off talking about a TikTok where a nurse doesn't believe older people should receive life saving care like resuscitations. I then go into how this TikTok upset me because I have first hand seen how the healthcare system has failed my loved ones due to discrimination based on age and preexisting conditions. I then dive into how seeing medical malpractice first hand showed me I needed to not be complacent and pursue a career in law.

Option 2: I start off talking about the TikTok and the instance of medical malpractice I have witnessed in a much shorter and more objective manner. I then state I want to go into law so that I can help to change systems for the better. I then talk about experiences and qualities that I have that would make me a good lawyer. I talk about my fundraising experience, internships with law firms, and a research paper I did on a social issue and the solution I proposed.

I think my first option is stronger but my advisor said the second one is better. I also would ideally like to start my career working in corporate law and then do elder and healthcare law on the side as more pro bono work. Should I mention that or would that harm my admissions chances?

We got this fr. The amount of hardwork we have poured into this test will all become worth it. I can say I have genuinely enjoyed studying for the LSAT but I am also looking forward to the relief of finally getting this test out of the way so I can finally move on to the next step. I am wishing all my fellow October test takers the best and manifesting PBs for all of us. Always remember that an exam doesn't represent your worth, your intelligence, or your capability as a future lawyer. We're gonna power through this test and keep moving forward. I don't know about y'all, but I'm excited about this next chapter. See you all in law school in 2027 👋

Can someone help me understand how scholarship applications work? Do I have to submit my scholarship application at the same time as my law school application? Or can the scholarship application be submitted later?

Also I was wondering if 7Sage had a bank/resource of all the scholarships available for people to apply to?

Hi everyone!

Ann Perry, Associate Dean for Admissions and Financial Aid at the University of Chicago Law School, is coming on the 7Sage podcast next week -- and we want your questions!

Post your questions on the Reddit thread linked below by Friday at noon, ET, and we'll put them to Ann on your behalf!

Hi! I reached out to a previous professor of mine for an academic reference, and she informed me that although happy to write one, she is no longer a professor. She was an assistant professor/temporary lecturer at the time and is now no longer in the teaching field. I'm worried that if I use her as a reference my application won't be considered for any schools that require an academic reference. Anyone have any experience in this area? Otherwise my backup plan is to reach out to other profs, but she's the only one I had an individual relationship with... any others I fear would give me a very generic, non-character reference which I also don't want to hurt my chances. What should I do?

Hi all - I took a semi diagnostic PT (141 I think) and BR'd a 164 (actual was 157). I've been finishing up the core curriculum so I wanted to get a baseline. After my (halfway decent) PT score, the next day I took an LR section (pt 126 S3) and b o m b e d it. I mean - disheartening lol. I think I got more questions wrong than right - I was able to BR it back into single digits of wrongness, but holy cow was that demoralizing. (This was yesterday). Today, I took a RC section (pt 128 S1) and actual was 159, BR'd to 170. I'm not planning on applying until next cycle, and I don't have a test date scheduled yet (thinking maybe February or June/July, August at the latest) - however, is this normal? I am reviewing what types of questions I'm getting wrong, and I'm sure it'll become easier as I actually go through the study plan/take more sections and start to understand the explanations... but I'd like to hear y'alls experiences from when you first started studying?

Thank you all!

Do you guys warm up with both LR and RC drills on test day? I did 5-10 1-2 star difficulty LR questions before a PT and performed at my peak for the LR sections. I was wondering if y'all incorporate both LR and RC easy drills on test day or if that's too much. Any feedback is appreciated!

Let October LSAT come.

I am ready.

The clock seems to be the only things standing in my way. My timed performance has plateaued here for weeks, but my BR is now almost perfect. Aside from more timed drills and sections, what should I do?

Is anyone else having trouble navigating the site? I'm trying to click on "Study" and access parts of the pop up (e.g. Learn, Practice, Analytics) but nothing is happening :( the page also freezes so the pop up doesn't go away even when I try to click off of it. Most other parts of the website aren't responsive either.

Reloading and restarting my device hasn't worked.

Hi all,

I'll be taking the LSAT this Wednesday, and I'm more nervous than I've ever been! Does anyone have any last-minute advice on how to reduce anxiety and be ready for test day?

Thanks!

Does anyone have suggestions or people they have used for personal statement help? (Affordable) Does Brad Barbay do a good job (his is just so expensive to justify)?

I was wondering if it would be possible to have a built in Wrong Answer journal where right after we finish a section or drill, we can write detailed notes for each answer choice and why we picked it over the correct answer choice, then be provided a key take away, which we can later review in a different tab that compiles all of our wrong answer choices all at once so then we can go through them and study them based off of difficulty or issues with certain answer types.

I find it tedious to have to go on other websites and plug all this information in and it would be very beneficial for us to be able to view our mistakes and why we made them. Thank you!

Hey! Do yall have tips on how to hold it together in the last section? I take the LSAT Friday and I KILL the first three sections and it’s a total collapse in the last section. I think part of it is I expect myself to collapse bc it happens every test but also that I’ve been sitting for so long (I have 1.5 time). Any tips are welcomed and appreciated!

And to all October testers, GOOD LUCK!!!
