Hi,

I noticed I consistently perform much worse on Science RC passages, even with blind reviews, and it takes me much longer to understand the arguments. I feel like the answers to different kinds of passages almost come more intuitively in a way that just doesn't happen for the science ones. I was wondering if anyone else has this issue or has tips to work on this!

Thanks :)

In person or virtual study group. I have a library and co working space in the building. We can do a combination of drills. Go over concepts and keep each other accountable daily. Im in Newark Penn Station New Jersey near Seton Hall Law School.

Anyone want to become study buddies for the June test date online or in person in the Atlanta metro area?

Are we using paper journals or is anyone using a note program on an app they like? I'm a pretty slow writer and writing them out is taking forever. I was debating on getting an iPad (which I would use for other things) and using a digital pencil to do a wrong answer journal. If I did that, I would, ideally, like to find a program where I could hide the correct answer, and my notes, until I want to see them (kind of like how you can press the button to show the notes during review here). Has anyone tried this?

How accurate is the score estimator from drills and sections? It can either be super discouraging or motivating.

Hi all, I've been debating getting a tutor for a while (stuck in the 160s limbo for around 7 months now). I had one for about 2 months last summer, but I don't think it helped much in terms of increasing my score. For those of you who used tutors and they were beneficials (or not), could you talk about your experience? Did it actually help, or did would you say you could've found equal value in "being your own tutor"? Also -- and arguably most importantly -- how much would you say your tutor helped improve your RC score?

Hey everyone! I'm a recent Howard grad and would love a few people to just study with parallel together over google meet! I figured we could just study separately for the first few hours (while on video call) then come together afterwards to bounce ideas and coach ourselves through it. I find it's easy for me to study when it's other people studying around me too. I study mon-thur after 5pm and am doing a mix of Loophole prep and 7sage. I'm still in the beginning stages of prep though so all newbies are welcome!

For instance, when I'm reviewing I would like to know which parts on the foundations I should review!

Hey everyone, I'm Yousuf. You might have come across some of my posts on Reddit as TheLawgicTutor. I figured I'd share some of that info here as well:

I wanted to share a question that came up in a tutoring session recently, because it highlights a really common trap I see on specific LSAT questions.

This applies most directly to "Provable Questions", (MSS, Must Be True, Inference, etc). On these, the correct answer should follow almost directly from the stimulus. You're not being asked to decide what makes sense, what's a good idea, or what someone ought to do. You're just identifying what is actually supported by the facts given, and nothing more.

Most trap answers on provable questions fail in the same way: they go a bit too far. They predict slightly too much, stretch the scope of the passage, or assume something that isn't 100% backed by the stimulus.

The specific trap answer I want to highlight today is the word "should".

When an answer choice says someone "should" do something, it's making a recommendation or prescription. That's a very powerful statement and is usually too far beyond what the stimulus proves. Unless the stimulus explicitly makes a recommendation, seeing the word "should" on an answer choice should be an immediate red flag.

Take a look at the question below. Notice that every wrong answer uses the word "should", while the correct answer uses much weaker and more careful language. That type of phrasing is what you should be looking for in provable questions.

I've been studying for the LSAT since mid-January and I plan to take it for the first time in April. I'm a getting bit nervous because I have a little more than 4 weeks until the test and I haven't been able to break 170 on an initial run through of the test although on blind review my highest score has been 174. For people who have already taken the test and broken 170 what are some tricks or indications that I am likely to get that score on test day and how would you maximize the next few weeks of studying in order to achieve that goal? Also it would be helpful to know if this is normal if most people see consistent improvement throughout their study process.

Average number of questions wrong on an RC or LR section is -4, but with LR on BR I can often get that down to -1 or -2. RC it feels like I'm a bit more stuck often getting very stressed out about timing that causes me to miss easy questions or spending a lot of time on a single question because none of the answer choices seem to fit right.

I just scored a 159 on PT126.

A pretty commonly asked question. I'm currently scoring pretty much low 170s high 160s, what does it take to consistently score mid-high 170s? Does it mostly come down to luck and test variance? Is it something to do with the way people read and think? Any input from tutors would be great!

Wondering if it's a mistake to send an email to two schools I haven't heard back from at all + that I really like to express my continued interest? I applied in December, so it really hasn't been that long in this cycle, but I also signed up for the April LSAT as a potential fallback for waitlists, and I'm not sure how that reflects on my file for the schools I haven't heard back from.

I really don't want schools to hold decisions for a test I may not even take, but I'm not sure how to express that, as "Please don't hold my application, that LSAT registration is just in case you waitlist me" doesn't sound the best.

Hoping for any suggestions on a) if an email is necessary, b) how to phrase an email to schools that expresses interest but doesn't seem like I'm nagging them, and c) tells them that I don't want them to hold off on anything because I have an April LSAT registration in my file...

Thank you!

Hi guys! I've been using 7Sage for a few months now and I've been trying to alternate between older and newer practice sections so I don't burn through material. However, alot of the older tests do not have explanations available. 7Sage Team, I would really appreciate if these could be added! In the meantime, if anyone else has been running into this problem, how have you been circumnavigating it?

OUTSTANDING SUPPORT!!!!!!!!

Hello! I have currently been studying for the LSAT since mid January 2026 and plan on taking it in June and likely August. However, around the beginning of February, I fell a bit behind on the core curriculum and I've been playing catch up. For context, I'm a second semester junior in college, I've found that I have a lot of time during my breaks, but obviously not as much time when I am at school. My main concern is that I feel like I won't be ready to take the exam in June. I start the practice test period this Monday (3/9) so hopefully I start to feel more confident, but right now I am at a standstill. Does anyone have any advice? Would it be optimal to postpone my exam till August, or take one in June and then August?

Hi everyone,

I'm wondering if anyone knows if we can use a corded or wireless mouse for the LSAT? I searched the LSAC rules and couldn't find an answer. All the reddit info about a mouse was from a few years ago so I wanted to check here if anyone who has recently done the test remotely could give me an answer. Thank you!

I totally agree that the core curriculum and foundation block are very important complete!!

I would like to automatically include the practice questions we are given in the core curriculum into my analytics but I can't see to find anyway to do that except by manually unselecting the toggle on each question that says don't include in analytics. Any easier way of doing this?

Hello everyone! I just wanted to share how important the foundations unit is. When I first started studying about a year(ish) ago, I looked over the foundations unit thinking how it all was just common sense. The conditional logic section seemed so unimportant and even the grammar unit felt pointless. So... I skipped it. BUT, I can guarantee you that it's not pointless. Ever since I really dived into the foundations unit and started taking it seriously, I'm getting way more questions right. I'm getting the questions right which I used to get wrong all the time!!!

I guess this is all just to say that don't skip the foundations.

I know it might seem like a waste of time and we feel like our time would be better spent learning the question types, but everything which is in the foundations unit builds up to what we need in order to succeed in the LR and RC sections. So pleaseee, don't skip this and don't make the same mistake I did.

I'm hosting an online seminar tomorrow morning on sufficient and necessary assumptions, how to recognize them and distinguish between them, and how to apply that knowledge to solve real LSAT questions.

This topic has been covered very frequently, but I'd like to share a very intuitive approach that worked for me. Feel free to sign up below!

When drilling I have my BR settings set to only show me questions I get incorrect (which I know is not the recommended method of BR but its what I am doing rn) and when I correct my mistakes in BR, if I BR answered correctly by BR score becomes 100% (if I only had to BR 1 problem out of 5 in a drill for example). So my BR percentage would be 100% in the drill section. But in the drill analysis chart, it would show BR 20% or 1/5 correct instead of the 100% (again if I only BRed the single question I got wrong and did not BR the ones I got right in the drill). This is not a big deal but it makes it harder for me to visualize my results in a cohesive manner. Please make it so the data is consistent.

Did over half of the PT’s in the 140-150‘s and tried some older PT’s in the 100s and 110s, and they felt easier. Generally scored better in them too. Has the LSAT gotten more difficult over the years lol

Hey all! I gave a bit of time before I wanted to share once again the LSAT Discord study group I created that's open to everyone. I mainly aimed at connecting folks in the west coast (PST time zone) but everyone is welcomed! Most of the people in this group are from the east coast anyways!

https://discord.gg/sY5St5DGdN

This group's goal is to support all learners no matter their score ☺️

• We host Friday Night LR every week! (5PM PST | 7PM CST | 8PM CST)

• Also anyone can chat and host their study group sessions here!

• If you also want to study with others undisturbed, there is a silent study room where all chat and voice is disabled 📚🔕🔇

So far it's been a safe and welcoming space to chat and ask questions about the LSAT. 💙

I recommend everyone joining to set their notifications settings to only notify them if someone tags them.

Thank you!!!!

What are the greatest strategies to choose the right AC when you're down to two ACs?

Context:

I've been studying for the LSAT for a couple months now. Was a Feb test taker and came back with a 167. I'm locking in with a lot more discipline for the April test and am hoping to get my score into the 170s. (My Current highest LR priorities are Flaw, Weaken, NA)

The Problem:

My scores have improved and I've noticed that now the vast majority of questions I answer incorrectly I was between two ACs. One correct, and the other incorrect. My question is, how do I go about finding my weakness in picking the AC and how do I increase the likelihood that I will pick the correct answer, especially on test day.

Thank you all in advance for any help/resources/etc.!
