Hello everyone! I have been studying for the LSAT for quite a while and took the test and completely let me anxiety get the best of me and my mind went blank. I am studying again for hopes of applying Fall 2025 and plan to take the test in April 2024. Although I am not done the Core Curriculum, I know I am in desperate help especially for Logical Reasoning. On my previous prep tests, I always get -10 to -14/15 on each section. I am seeing slow improvement in the logic games section because I am using the foolproof method. However, I am thinking about getting a tutor from 7Sage. For those currently working with a tutor, do you recommend it? I work full time and am saving up for law school but am scared that tutoring may just not work for me and I just blew away money that could have been used for law school tuition.

LSAC sucks.

I submitted my request for accommodations almost a month ago. LSAC's website says they'll get back to you within 8-10 business days but it may take longer... aka they can take however long they want. We all know best practice is to study and prep as close to how test day will be. But if I don't know if my request will be honored I can't prep. LSAC sucks. They don't gaf about accommodated students. They don't even respond to my emails.

I receive double test time per section, I want to ensure when I take a practice test on 7sage, I am using the same conditions. Is there an area in the settings to apply this?

Every time I go to purchase a prep course, it says that I am not logged in, but I am already logged in and it won't allow me to insert my payment info at all

Im in the final week before the test - i feel like my anxiety is making me forget the basic and make dumb mistakes (my last 2 PTs show an incremental decrease of my score.

Should I read the question first or read the stimuli first?

wanted to know if we should do pt 94 just days before our exam

Yo! I'm looking for study buddies for Jan LSAT! I'm taking Nov but I wanna secure acceptances so I might take January again haha, anyways send me a message if you want to connect!

My thoughts are that the November test will allow me to become familiar with the testing center (the physical environment) as well as the time constraints and noise that is hard to replicate 100% by myself just to be on the safe side. The con is the admissions committee viewing a cancelled score unfavorably on my application, and potential waste of time and resources. I plan to take the January test after studying hard for 2 months. Thank you so much in advance for your responses!

There was a magical time a few weeks ago when I FINALLY got a 176 BR score and I thought I was finally starting to understand the test. My previous BR scores were capped at 165-168, timed 157-163 ish. I thought I would never break 170 and was so relieved when I finally cracked it with BR.

I'm taking the November test next weekend and I feel like I've been bombing each PT lately and running out of time of my best section (LG). I typically get 1-2 wrong on LG, and occasionally get 100% when I'm just doing a section drill. I'm definitely struggling with timing and panic-guessing when I feel as though I'm burning too much time on any one question.

Has anyone experienced wild fluctuations and have any tips on how to start getting stable scores?

I work full-time in BigLaw so there are days when I work OT (I literally just submitted my timesheet for 97 hours the the last 2 weeks), and so can only squeeze a section and some drills during the week. I would choose a PT for the week, take the sections individually each evening after work, BR/review the whole test on Friday, and then take a timed PT on Sat, review Sun.

I finally have time off this week leading up to the test -- what is the most high-impact thing I can do to improve and stop fluctuating so much?

I took a “diagnostic” PT 57 and scored a 158.

-12 LG, -6 LR, -7 LR, -5 RC

Diagnostic in quotes bc I took the LSAT 8 years ago and scored a 157. After lurking on the discussion board, I’m realizing there’s a lot more prep that I can do. Originally I was planning to take LSAT Aug 2024, but I’m leaning towards prepping for the June 2024 test and retaking without LG if necessary. I’m hopeful that my low LG score means a higher ceiling and I’m worried about gambling on what the second LR might look like on the first administration w/out LG.

My plan is to work through the Foolproof book for the next 4 weeks and then start 7Sage CC in December and hit PTs/BR hard starting in March. I work full time (HS teacher) and don’t have a ton of disposable income to put towards prep/tutors etc.

Thoughts on this plan? Target is 167+

Any advice about this or people In similar positions for next cycle?

I'm taking the lsat in-person next week and was wondering if anyone has any advice on what I should take aside from an ID?

Do i need to bring my own scrap paper and pencils or do they provide it?

Will November test taker's be able to take the new PT on this platform?

I take my test on 11/8 & I find my anxiety consuming. I commented on a fellow 7sager trying to encourage them to not focus on the number. But oof... it's hard. I'm not going to even lie I envy the people who perform relatively well in the 160s range & think their score isn't good enough. I genuinely envy you guys. I also hate saying that. It sucks when you get back into the admissions cycle of anything because comparing yourself to others is detrimental, but that's also the entire point of admissions. I know those who are aiming for higher and also aiming for different schools and their goals may be different than mine, but it still just sucks to think about.

I'm not sure if anyone can relate. I'm really embarrassed about my score, but like I'm also not aiming for an Ivy either lol. Idk I'm sort of venting, but I feel like I don't see many of my middle of the pack people on here. So if you relate please join the discussion.

I'm trying to tell myself it'll be okay, but I put in so much damn work and to some I know they would think my # is terrible. LIKE I LITERALLY HAD A FRIEND CANCEL A SCORE I WISH I COULD GET! Good for them tho, they raised it on their next test, but still.

It's difficult for me to keep my insecurities & doubts in check, especially as someone who struggles to feel confident in my academic abilities. Even though I finished undergrad w Summa, I still sit here wondering and questioning if I schools will want me. It's so nerve-wracking. I just don't want to feel like I'm alone in this.

For anyone interested, PT 94, administered in July 2020, is now available on Lawhub.

Prep Test A, Section 1, Question 4 is a flaw question with a Safety Inspector and a Biologist. Can anyone explain to me why C is wrong? Thank you :)

I want to thank this wonderful site and staff for tagging along on this LSAT journey. I want to thank the entire staff for helping me achieve my dreams. Starting off with a 148 Diagnostic I was discouraged and inundated with Reddit wisdom establishing my ceiling as a 158 at best. I leave today knowing that there is no such ceiling.

What happened to the old check box for the Modern Preptests where it discarded the extra section? There used to be a selection box for this option when taking full preptests... Just took PT91 for example and it made me do all 4 sections. I thought there used to be an option to cut out the extra section.

Hi. I have been doing weakening questions on and off about a month and I just cannot seem to get the hang of it. I usually get like 50-60% right on any set I do. Sometimes I make the wrong jump in the answer choices and I would really appreciate some tips and tricks you guys use that have helped you.

I began my LSAT journey last year and ended up deciding on a gap year after a few months of studying because I wasn't hitting close to my goal. Took a break till around May 2023 and enrolled back in 7sage with the goal of getting a 171+ by November! Thankful for this program as it was the majority of what I used over my time studying. I am enrolled in November (did it as a backup) so I will probably be retaking again just to see what happens now that the pressure is off.

Huge thanks to @RaphaelP for the help cleaning up my RC... his methodology brought me down to -3 on test day which was fortunately enough for my score. Highly recommend him as a tutor!

For those of you that have questions about the LSAT feel free to PM me or leave them here... I am a pretty active member of this discussion board and would love to answer any questions.

Because the v.2 CC is a lot shorter, according to my study schedule I would be finished months earlier than my intended test date (August 2024) I don't want to step back and stop studying just so my study schedule lines up with my test date (taking it in Aug b/c no logic games, so I don't want to take it sooner either) so what is best to do with this major amount of extra time?

So I just got my score for this October LSAT. Got a 150 after having spent the last 4 ish months PTing around 160-166. To say i'm quite devastated is an understatement but I'm going to chalk it up as a really bad fluke because I kind of let the nerves get to me on test day. I guess I just want some advice on what people do to help them on their actual test days to get their scores to mirror what they're actually capable of. Also, I'm scheduled to take January as the schools I'm applying to all accept the January test as the latest and my applications are already submitted. Is this going to hinder my chances of getting in anywhere because I understand admissions are on a rolling basis. Do you guys think they'll truly wait on my January score if it says thats the latest they'll accept?

Can you please bring back the Logic Games section in version2? I understand the new LSAT does not have Logic Games after August, however I think that this is a disservice to those taking the LSAT before August. I'm taking the November LSAT and was relying on the Version 2 lessons, and now my study schedule has been interrupted as a result. It was brought back then removed again. Version 2 is shorter than Version 1, I do not have the time to go through Version 1. Please let me know if you can help!

🔢 I'm currently scoring: 155-160

📆 My planned test date: June 2024, potentially taking again August 2024

📈 To study, I have been: Haven't studied for the LSAT in a while, but want to take it before they remove logic games!

🔑 My goals for this group are: Hold each other accountable, help high scorers cement understanding by helping lower scorers, & schedule time to take PTs, also networking with other legal professionals.

🔍 We'll focus on: Getting Logic Games down to -1/0 is my personal goal.
