Hello everyone I was hoping to gain some advice from other people experienced/ currently taking the LSAT. I took the LSAT after 1 month of studying in June 2023 and got a 155. I studied solidly for 2 more months and planned to take the August sitting. Like many of us, I had proctoring issues in the first take of the August 2023 LSAT so I opted for a retake a week later which I also had (less) but still some distracting proctoring issues which lead me to loose focus and completely panic but I still decided to not cancel my score as I was hopeful even though I was completely thrown off I could still do well. My score unfortunately dropped to a 154 which is around 8 points below what I was averaging/ hoping to get on the test day. I have signed up to retake it in October but am unsure about whether I should cancel the August score considering it isn't even that different to my June score and a cancellation could indicate that I actually did far worse than 155. Further, if something goes wrong in October I would hate to have a double cancellation on my application. My current gut feeling is to not cancel it and leave it as is but I would appreciate some advice. Thank you :)

Hey, just wondering if it makes sense to BR RC? LR and LG makes sense but for some reason I am having a hard time justifying BRing RC sections.

Hi! I previously took the LSAT and got a 172 last Fall. I decided not to apply last year, but as I am applying this year I want to retake it and score 175+ in October.

I am scoring 172-174 on Ptests currently as I review again. I am on EST and would be flexible to review online as my last day at work is coming up next week.

A big fat sincere Thank You to everybody who makes discussion posts and comments on JY's lessons. I swear I've read hundreds of them that made me laugh or helped me understand questions. You guys are the unsung heroes. You helped me get through hundreds and hundreds of hours of question review. Keep it up and don't forget, "Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage". Just wanted to say thanks

👥 Study Group Name: It Depends

🔢 I'm currently scoring: 149-157, aiming for 170 or higher

📆 My planned test date: November 2023

📈 To study, I have: Gone through CCv2, have taken a few PTs, and took the August 2023 LSAT. Retaking in November, so I'm not starting from scratch.

🔑 My goals for this group are: to keep each other on track with study schedules, thoroughly review sections

🔍 We'll focus on: Each section lol

📚 When we'll meet and what we'll do: Wednesdays 7pm MST on Zoom, maybe more frequently if that works for anyone. I plan on having the group do the same PTs or practice sections separately, and we can review the material each week together and go over tricky questions.

Hi! If anyone is taking the October 2023 LSAT and would like to be added into a GroupMe GC please comment.

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to let you know about the updates LSAC has made to the LSAT test dates for October and November.

Along with the already announced test dates for October (October 13 and 14), LSAC has now added test sessions on October 15 and 16. LSAC also added more test dates to the November schedule. In addition to the previously set dates (November 10 and 11), there will now be test sessions on November 8 and 9.

The new test dates include both remote and in-person sessions, and this won't affect the score release date!

My first official LSAT score was 129. Not a diagnostic literally an official 129 5 years ago while I was a senior in college in 2018. 129-139-145-149-145-157!!!! Don’t ever give up! I literally watched so many friends and colleagues of mine get into and graduate from Law School before I could even get a LSAT score in the 150s. I felt like such a failure. Do not give up ever!!! The test is learnable it can be done. Thank y’all for all the tips.

After using 7Sage for the past couple months, I was able to dramatically increase my official score (18 points!) to a 179 on the August test. I'm really appreciative of all the great resources provided (including the amazing podcast from Henry and Aastha). Now all that's left to do is apply!

I am looking for a private tutor either online or in the Tampa area to begin meeting with before the November LSAT if anyone knows of anyone please comment!

Which Lr on pt 88 is the experimental section? Also I average between a -3 and -6 in LG and just got -10 on this pt. I am planning for the sept test and can't really pull out of it. Should this be of concern or are the last 2 games pretty rare?

I took the LSAT for the first time in August and scored a 156. I am retaking in October and applying for Fall 2024. Should I cancel or keep my score? My problem was timing as I ran out of time on the test. I am confident that I can improve my October score by increasing my speed. My fear is that if I cancel this score and do not do well in October that I will be screwed when it comes to getting my application in this cycle. Any advice?

Anyone else unable to see their LSAT score or get a hold of LSAC. My score appears blank on all devices. I’ve been re-loading it for hours.

Hi! The August LSAT was my first time taking it officially, and I got a 174. It's honestly better than I expected. I was pretty confident immediately after testing, but my PT average up to the test date was around 171-172. I was doing PTs every day though so maybe I was burnt out a bit?

I had signed up for the Sept LSAT in case I needed to retake, so by this point if I don't retake, it's not refundable. I've done two PTs since the Aug test, scored 177 and 179. Have also done some drills just to keep myself in the mindset.

Originally, my target is UCLA but I'm definitely open to other T-14. Since I've already paid for the Sept test, I'm wondering if I should just take it or if it'd look bad if I retook after getting 174 on my first time. I'm above all 75th percentile GPAs if that helps.

Thanks for any advice!

Feeling very discouraged as I was scoring in the 165-169 range on my PTs and got my score back in the high 150s from the August test. I got test anxiety as I was taking it and ran into timing as an issue which does not usually happen. I knew after I took the August test it would not be my best, but I didn't think I would go down that drastically from my average PTs. I am taking the September test and also registered for the October one just in case. I know I can get a much better score, but I am feeling a little bit deflated now. Anyone have any advice or also has had this experience?

Hey, y’all. I took the LSAT in August and my score came back today with a 140. It’s not what I wanted, but it’s also not the worst that it could have been. I’m shooting for a 155 and want to retake it in a couple of months.

What’s the best strategy from here to prepare for a retake? Thanks!

Im not sure what to do. I have been averaging 168-170 on pts on this site for 1-2 months but my actual score for the august one was in the low low 160s. Why is this the case??? What am i doing wrong??? Are the 7sage tests somehow scored differently?

I went from 168 in June to 171 this Aug exam. uGPA is 3.96, T3 soft (1-2yrs of WE in tech company), nURM (East Asian non-US citizen), with two degrees. I'm signed up for September exam which is right around the corner but I think even if I retook, the max I could score is 173. I've also exhausted every single practice exam so not sure what to use anymore for resource...

Dream school is Berkeley (median for 2023 cycle was 170; 3.83) - planning on applying ED but not sure if 171 is enough as the median was 171 in 2022 cycle but dropped to 170

Anyone else working at least 10 hours/day while studying? How are y'all coping?

If I purchase the LSAT Live course but I want to switch to Live course plus tutoring, is it possible to switch midway through?

Whether you're taking the official September LSAT or not, this free event is for you. We are offering Proctored Prep Tests every month this fall, with our first one this Saturday, September 2nd from 1-5 pm ET!

If you're ready to get more practice taking a full LSAT Prep Test under simulated online proctor conditions, you're in the right place. Here's how our Proctored PTs work:

Register using this link: https://7sage.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZwocu2trzsjGdRNM5GT3ELED-H67u3gGlHH. Once you sign up, you'll receive an email from Zoom with the link to join the meeting! Save that for Saturday.

Select a PT that you want to take for the proctored test. This can be any PT; we recommend one that you haven't seen yet and that is at least as recent as PT 50. You can take the PT through 7Sage, or, if you want to simulate real test-day conditions, you can log into LawHub and take it there.

Show up to the Zoom meeting 10 minutes before the scheduled start time (12:50 pm ET). You will all be prompted to complete a room scan (similar to the test-day security measures) at the same time and then put into a breakout room by yourself to complete the test.

Simulate the test! Our 7Sage Proctor will monitor the testing process for the duration of your test and even simulate a pesky interruption. The Proctor will ask if anyone would like to be interrupted at the beginning of the session, and you will have the chance to privately message your preference. If only the ProctorU proctors would be so kind as to ask! If you have any approved accommodations, please let us know via private chat at the beginning of the session as well––you'll be able to use those.

If you have any questions, please comment below. We hope to see you there!

I got my first LSAT score from Aug. back today and scored a 172. My original goal for admissions was 173+ and anything below I would retake, but this is just close enough I feel concerned about retaking/tempted to not retake. I’m already registered for October. I'm not sure if it's worth it compared to starting on my essays now and applying in Nov.

I was honestly fortunate to get the score I did. I didn't feel as well-prepared as I could have been study-wise (crammed for 4-5 weeks, totally my bad). I was averaging ~169/170 in the weeks leading to the test, highest PT was 174, BRs 175/6. However, I didn't -0 the LGs on the day-of, which had been my goal and which I am capable of doing on PTs (ran out of time toward end and guess-timated a few Qs on last 2 games).

If I really buckled down in the next month, I think I could do a bit better in Oct. I don't want to have any admissions/scholarship regrets down the line, but I'm just not sure if it's worth what seems to be a few points increase at best. I work 40-50 hours a week, so I couldn't focus on both LSAT prep and essays.

uGPA is 3.77, T3? softs (prev. grad degree, 2-3 years work exp. in policy/law, a few publications). My dream would be to get into NYU for PI, but aiming for T14s in general.

Any advice would be appreciated! (Also s/o to the 7Sage curriculum for even getting me here at all!)

Why is it that the questions in problem sets pull from PrepTests beyond PrepTest35? I thought they only pulled from 1-35 to keep newer tests fresh!

How can I make it so that the problem sets only pull from Test 1-35? There was a previous post where someone from Student Service said that problem sets only pull from 1-35, but this is clearly wrong!!!!!

Hello,

I am looking for a study group in the Boston, MA area. I am looking to create a group of individuals interested in teaching and learning from others, while acting to keep one another accountable. I have no preference for scores or actual test date. I hope to apply next cycle so I aim to have the LSAT done before then. If you're in the area please consider reaching out! Thank you.

Hi all. I have two solid academic LORs and I'm wondering if I really need to try and get a professional one. I graduated in 2019 and my jobs post college haven't been very consistent (shorter stints in various different industries). I've also dealt with some health issues during this time as well. Do you think my application would be weaker if I only submit academic LORs since I've been out of school for 4 years? Any advice welcome. THANKS!
