I'm currently studying for the LSAT—I just finished the Foundations section and I'm about to start Logical Reasoning. My goal is to take the LSAT in a few months so I have everything ready to apply for the upcoming cycle.

Right now, I'm home all day dedicating my time exclusively to the LSAT, but I'm looking to start working. I study about 3h a day so the time Im not studying isnt too productive aside from when I workout. I know I can study more but to be honest at around that 3 sometimes closer to 4hr mark I think Ive learned as much as I can for the day. I'm torn between two very different paths and would love to hear from anyone who has navigated a similar spot:

• Option 1: A convenient, part-time job. It's close to home, very easy, and leaves me with plenty of time and mental energy to focus on studying. The downside is that it pays minimum wage and the experience won't really add anything to my resume. Its a gym front desk. Id do this for a few months and once I get a decent score on the LSAT I can then apply to the other job.

• Option 2: An entry-level legal position. This would be full-time and offer much better pay and relevant legal experience. However, between the commute and the standard work hours, it would be a significantly heavier daily commitment alongside with the gym which I do 6x a week.

My main dilemma: Should I take the easy part-time job for now, lock in a good LSAT score over the next few months, and then pivot to applying for full-time legal jobs once the test is out of the way? Or is it genuinely manageable to work a full-time legal job while still making strong progress on the LSAT and maintaining a consistent workout routine? If anyone has any experience they can share, Id greatly appreciate it aswell!

I took the Sept test and then took about a week off. Since then I’ve been studying and my RC scores have plummeted. Not quite sure what’s going on. I went -3 before the Sept test on my last RC section, and now I’m lucky to go -9 to -10. Not only that but my pacing is way off. Before, I had gotten a good rhythm and would move through sections more comfortably. Now though I’m struggling to even get to the last passage for some reason. I take the October test in 5 days and wanted to see if anybody had any emergency advice. Any is greatly appreciated!

Hi all!

I find that I am really struggling to increase my score. My diagnostic was a 155, I took my first LSAT in August (got a 160) and have plans to take it again in November. I feel that I am learning a lot, but then my preptests and drill scores don't reflect that. My PTs remain at the high 150s, while my blind reviews get in the mid to high 170s consistently.

Timing has been a real struggle for me, especially for RC. I've always been an avid reader and did really well on RC on the ACT, so I'm confused why I'm struggling so much; it feels like it hasn't quite "clicked" yet and I don't know what to do. I've been practicing with more time and the accuracy is getting better but is still an issue, especially when I switch back to normal timing. When I review my preptests slowly, its so much easier for me to figure out the answer, hence the high BRs.

I've learned a lot, between the core curriculum, live classes, and drilling, and I feel very stuck moving forward. I feel like I'm doing the same things and nothing is helping.

Anyone have any tips or has gone through any of this themselves? My goal is 168. I feel like that is possible to get to before the November test since I'm right on the edge of a breakthrough but don't know how to quite get there! Again, timing definitely feels like the biggest issue at the moment.

Thanks everyone!! 😊

I have been studying and preparing for the LSAT since April 2026. I feel like I peaked in August where I was getting every single drill question correct and it all started to make sense but then in September, I started regressing. I've found that I can't study for more than 30 minutes at a time now before I get distracted or my brain feels tired. I tried taking another practice test last week and couldn't finish the last section which caused me to score poorly. I sit there and read the same sentence over and over again and still have no idea what the first words were by the time I get to the end. I take the real thing on Friday and I'm worried that I pushed myself for too long. Any tips on how to decrease my mental fatigue and continue to prep in the final days?

Is it better to have two academic LORs or one academic and one work related? I graduated this May so I think my professors do remember me pretty well still. I will definitely have my thesis advisor write on LOR but I'm not sure if the second should be from my boss or another professor. Are academic letters generally more valuable or is it better to diversify?

hi everyone! looking for study buddies for the january lsat. we could meet via zoom, discord, or just a basic group chat on imessage. we can hold each other accountable daily, focus on lr and rc drills, touchbase on which fundamentals each of us is lacking and work together which questions we are stuck on together. my goal is a 170, and my diagnostic timed was a 143. my study schedule usually goes like this: monday, lr drill 25 questions - tuesday, review all wrong questions, wednesday, focus on which question stems missed, then repeat. saturday - 1 rc passage with review, sunday - off day. i use 7 sage, and i purchased courses from brad barbay.

I took PT 118 and feel like I crashed and burned towards the end - any advice on how to keep going? I feel like by the end of sections 3 and 4, I was reading the stimuli but wasn't able to make anything of them. I also noticed that I missed the most questions per section in the RC section (section 2), but feel kind of confused because I felt pretty confident in that section. I recovered all but one point on my blind review of the RC section, but I still feel kind of lost. Maybe I'd have a better time understanding if I reviewed these missed questions again tomorrow? I feel so drained after this PT for whatever reason, maybe doing blind review the same day wasn't my best choice (though, I seemed to recover fine).

For those of y'all who have been stuck in this pattern - what did you do to break out of it? On the one hand, I'm glad that I was able to recover well in blind review, on the other, though, I'm disappointed that I couldn't get there/am falling for traps on the PT itself.

As the title states, I would like to know how others review questions. Does writing wrong answers on note cards or a notes app help? Does just going to town on a question type you got wrong prove better or is it a mix of those and something else? I would love to know different approaches.

Hi everyone! I’m working on my applications (to Canadian law schools) and am struggling to choose a direction to go with for my personal statements. Once I start the writing process I’m usually more self-confident, but selecting which topic to focus on and how to narrate myself from the beginning has been difficult. Does anyone know of any essay help tutors (preferably on the more affordable side), ideally for Canadian schools?

LSAT is THIS FRIDAY and I’m officially at the point where the stress and anxiety are kicking in 😭

How are we combatting the pre-test anxiety?! I’ve been studying for months and obviously want to do my best, but I feel like the closer it gets, the more anxious I am.

For those who have taken the LSAT before, what did you do during the final week to stay calm and not psych yourself out? Did you keep studying, take a break, focus on sleep, exercise, etc.?

I’d love to hear what actually helped you mentally going into test day because right now I’m trying to remind myself that I know more than I think I do and that one test does NOT define me 😭🤞🏼

Had such a fun surprise at the LSAC event today — I got to meet Instructor Bailey in person! Of course I had to get a selfie! 💞

I actually recognized her BEFORE I even saw her because I heard her voice in the elevator and immediately thought, “WAIT… I know that voice!” 😂 She genuinely talks EXACTLY the same in real life as she does in her 7Sage live lessons — even the “purrr fect” made an appearance!!! 😭😂

Also, she’s taller than I expected LOL. For some reason, I thought she’d be like 5’2”–5’4”! 😂 Which is hilariously ironic because we’re actually the same height, and SO many people say that about me too LOL!

But the best part??? She told me that she had actually looked up my profile and genuinely believes I can score in the 170s. 🥹😭 Y’ALL. I am STILL on cloud 9 right nowwwww!! 💞 Hearing that from someone whose LSAT lessons I’ve spent so much time learning from was seriously such an encouraging moment.

So cool to officially meet the 7Sage instructor whose live lessons I’ve spent so much time in! 💞

Hi All!

I'm taking the October LSAT in a couple of days, and I have a few questions! I've taken the LSAT once before, but I took it remotely, so this will be my first time taking it in person.

1. During the 10-minute break, how will I know how much time I have left if I need to go to my locker or use the restroom? Obviously, I won't have my phone with me. Are traditional watches allowed, or is there another way to keep track of the time?

2. What am I allowed to bring with me to the testing cubicle? When I take practice tests, I keep it pretty simple: water, paper, pencils, and lip balm. Will they let me bring lip balm in? Lol, I constantly bite my lips, so I always have it with me.

3. I know there may be people taking different exams at the testing center (MCAT, DAT, GRE, etc.), so I'm assuming people will be getting up and leaving at different times. I feel like I could get distracted by that. Do they provide headphones or earplugs, or should I bring my own earplugs? If you've taken the LSAT at a testing center, do you prefer the headphones or earplugs?

4. Any other tips? Pls LMK!

Took a practice test on LawHub today, and I had to do it on Self-Paced Mode so I could use my stop/start accommodations. When I'd resume a section after pausing, it wouldn't let me unmask an answer choice I had masked before. At least once, I'd also resume a section after pausing and have less time than I was supposed to. Has anyone encountered these issues on test day? If so, how did you resolve them while testing in-person?

Is anyone else in tonight’s Accelerated Total Prep Intensive class? It was scheduled to start at 7:00 PM EDT, but the “Meeting link” on my class page isn’t opening anything. I’ve tried both Chrome and Safari.

Is the class currently live, and is anyone else having this issue?

Will law school admissions counselors hold it against me if my personal statement and resume indicates a strong background and commitment to public interest law, but I decide not to apply to the specialized public interest programs at the law schools I'm applying to?

Hey y'all. I don't know if anyone else is in the same boat, but I feel like I may have spent the last few months studying very inefficiently. I started off at a 154 on my first PT, and that I think made me pretty anxious to take another one for a while, so I just did drills and timed sections. Eventually, I got comfortable enough to take full PTs, and got a 171 on my next one, and then consistently 170+ after.

However, I am still a bit concerned. I only have taken 5 PTs, while I have done like 2900 questions in the form of timed drills and sections. I have been told that the gold standard is 10 minimum, and I don't know if my timed sections would compensate for the lack of full marathon timed tests. I take the test this coming Saturday, and part of me wants to cancel and reschedule because I still struggle with timing quite a bit (like only 4-5 mins remaining time with accommodations), and I feel like had I done PTs, it would have helped a lot.

What has been y'all's experiences with sections vs full PTs to practice endurance? What should I do over the next couple days?

hi yall, i'm having trouble on what/if to write the diversity statement for each school. they phrase them as "Describe any experiences in your life or unique qualities you think would benefit X School of Law and/or your classmates." i feel like i don't have a "diverse" aspect given that i've lived a pretty normal life, but i have plenty of interesting experiences from work to share. my only hesitation is that i don't want it to sound like a personal statement.

does anyone have any advice here?

Hi everyone,

You may know me as the woman who is running a half marathon six days before taking the LSAT. Well, I am here with the first update.

I GOT SECOND PLACE OUT OF WOMEN!!!

I truly did not expect this, there was an error where some of us were sent the wrong direction for about 800m (half a mile) and it really ate up time, my shoes gave me blisters (I’m in agony), and I had absolutely no glycogen left in my body by the end. But by the power of RAYE’s music, I finished that half marathon in what I believe to be 1:56:40, where my goal was sub-2. I am not sure how I placed when you add in the men, I do know that I was in the top ten and the second female finisher. I would also like to add in that I was unable to train for the last month due to an injury, so this all is a whirlwind of happiness. If you need me, I’ll be on my couch nursing my sore legs, blisters, and stomach pain.

So, I hit my goal time, completed the race, and placed very well. Very happy. LSAT, here I come!

Who do you guys got? I lowkey got Kevin since he's basically the prime CP3 of the LSAT with the way he's able to throw us some dimes with his explanations, but I can 100% see JY as Bron

(ive gone completely insane)

HELP MEEE I get so anxious with the time. I can never imagine getting a 163 on test day because of my timing problems. Any suggestions??

I will be working abroad for the next few month, and though theoretically the schools can still reach me via my US number, I am afraid of missing texts due to technical glitches (android phone, you never know). Can I not check the "Will accept text message to cell phone" box on the LSAC application form? Or would that look negative? Thanks a lot.

I’ve signed up for the January exam but I’m plateauing in the high 150s to lower 160s (one 166). I’ve been at this plateau for months now.

I have a full time job and additionally volunteer, plus therapy and living on my own other things/chores/errands I need to do. Also, I have trouble sleeping so I need to give myself more time to fall asleep, which detracts from my studying. Yes, I know that without sleep, I cannot do anything, which is why I prioritize sleep.

Currently, I’m taking one practice test a week. I often feel like I spend the week doing blind review then I take another practice test. Should I:

A. Take one practice test every two weeks to give me more time to review and drill?

B. How to more efficiently study with the time I got while maintaining one exam a week?

Maybe I’m burning out. I feel tired and a bit depressed at the results. I don’t want to give up though. Due to valid reasons, I have a lower GPA, so the pressure for an amazing LSAT score is much higher.

Please ask any questions to help determine the best plan for me.

I am scared if I do practice tests every other week, I may not be doing enough to practice stamina. I am running out of fresh practice tests(am using PTs from the 90s??)
