Hi everyone, I’d really appreciate some advice. I’m an international student, and I’ve been studying for the LSAT on and off for about two months. My diagnostic score was a 144. Since I haven’t been fully committed to studying yet, my score is still in the 140s, but my goal is to reach 170+ so that I can apply for Fall 2027.

My original plan was to study full-time until January. However, I recently received a full-time job offer from a friend, and I’m not sure whether I should accept it. The job is directly related to the human rights field I want to pursue in law school, so it would allow me to gain meaningful experience. But I’m worried that working full-time would interfere with my LSAT preparation and delay my timeline.

I’m really torn between the two options, and I would be grateful to hear your thoughts. Thank you!

Hello all, I am offering affordable tutoring rates for LSATs December > Spring 2026. I am a law school graduate (2024 - WashU) and am preparing for the February Bar Exam in the Southern US. I believe that everyone needs to have their own unique approach to this test, so I offer personalized guidance alongside universally helpful tips and approaches. I am happy to answer any questions and plan for a good score together through an initial free consultation.

Hi! Here is a link to a discord for studying and support from fellow students. https://discord.gg/Rvud8KYv

Hi, I am looking for people to start a study group with. Online that can commit at least two days out fo the week to study and go over things with each other. Please comment if you are interested.

Hi all,

I am looking for a study partner or group who is trying to have a consistent study schedule of an hour or two a day, two days a week. Either in person or on zoom. Please let me know if you’re interested!

I have a recent 178 LSAT, and an expiring 336 GRE score from a Master’s program I need to send in the next couple days before it’s gone forever. I know the LSAT carries more weight since it’s what affects rankings, but is it worth submitting the GRE since it’s also above the median for my schools?

I guess the question comes down to whether schools will see the GRE as adding another dimension where I demonstrate my strength, or does it dilute my LSAT which is at a higher percentile band? Does anyone have any insight?

I've been taking some Practice tests for a while, but when I do them, my LSAT scores are pretty low, around 150. However, my Blind Review scores has been improving up to 160-164 consistently. I can't seem to bridge the gap, and want to know how anyone else fixed that problem? When I do BR's I usually choose my second choice, which is always right, instead of taking more time to actually read the question I just click that one and move on, so I'm not sure if timing is the problem? I would also like to see how to choose my second choice on the real test first. If anyone has any tips, please let me know.

I am beginning my study journey. I’ve only taken a practice test online. My goal is to score 165-170

Hey there! I’m looking for a virtual study partner or small group. I’m currently scoring in the high 160s to low 170s, with LR being much stronger than RC, and I’m planning to take the exam in January and hope to get a 175+. I’d love to team up with someone at a similar level or aiming for it who’s looking for a study partner to bounce ideas off of and stay accountable with. I work full time on PT, so maybe someone who can meet in the evenings would be helpful but not required whatsoever.

We can bring each other questions or sections that gave us trouble, share them, and talk through our reasoning together. We can text to stay in touch and hop on Zoom occasionally to review tougher sections. My hope is that explaining concepts will help solidify them, and having someone to talk through tricky questions like I would a tutor would be a great resource.

If you’re interested, feel free to message me here! And if possible, please share a linkedin or some other proof so I can confirm you’re a real person :)

Thanks everyone and good luck!!!

Hello! I am looking to start a study group in Williamsburg Brooklyn. I am taking the test in June 2026. Please reach out if interested in studying together

Just curious.

For anyone who has made it from the mid-150s to the 160s, what was the turning point?

Whether it was a specific LSAT strategy or something outside the test (like your daily routine), I’d love to hear what your turning point was.

This may just be my nerves and lack of confidence talking. I took the LSAT this morning and am unsure how I did. My last few PTs have ranged from 154-159 with my highest BR in low 160s. My goal was a 160, but I’ll be content and decline a retake if I score at least a 158. Should I continue studying before knowing my score or pick up again once I get the score on the 26th? The next test dates are for January I think. Any opinions/advice appreciated.

Edit: Is January LSAT too late for applications? Would that just delay me until next cycle?

Riverside County in California. LSAT study group. LSAT Fall 2025.

Hello everyone,

I'm looking to join an LSAT study group in the Orlando area. I'm taking the exam in February and would love to connect with others who are also studying!

If anyone has information about an existing group or is looking to start one, please share the details so I can reach out.

I would like to request that the "Ask a Tutor" option have the answer from the tutor living within that question. I know that they email us their response, but my inbox is easily flooded, and it would be easier to reference the answer and look at the question when it's saved within that exact question. The feature could be similar to how the "notes" option shows us any notes we add for a question.

Please consider adding this; it would be very helpful!

What happens when your subscription ends? Do all your analytics get deleted? Can you still access your analytics/notes but not any drills or videos or features? Or does it get put on hold and you can reacccess it if you stop your subscription now but reactivate it down the line?

#help - The website lags whilst taking timed sections. I was trying to pause the timer, the button didn't work. I tried to move to the next question, the page froze there. This has happened a few times, so I wanted to bring it to the admin's attention.

Grateful for your help!

Hi! I think it would be cool if the study plan was more modifiable while I was going. For example, if I wanted to PT on a day instead of doing the exercises that it has planned for me, I could more easily edit it to fit with what I'm doing. I really enjoy having the study plan, but I don't like that if I miss a day or if I am doing something other than the exact tasks it gives me then I'm suddenly behind on the plan and have to catch up.

So, I just took a paper exam, and I don't know my score nor which questions I missed. I want to plug my answers into 7sage using the manual import, but before I did that, I just wanted to know if it was possible to blind review a prep test when I've manually inputted my answers. I've only ever imported from LawHub before, and I didn't try to BR those tests (or even look into whether or not I could), since I already knew what I had missed.

Will 7 sage billing for monthly for November? I normally am billed at the beginning of the month but nothing yet..

Is practice test 148 harder than other tests or is it just me. I've been pretty steady around the low 160's range and then I took test 148 and i dropped to 157. Is it my abilities or is practice test 148 actually just harder?

Hi, I'm taking the January LSAT and have been studying for about four months now. I'm looking for a study companion with the goal of keeping each other accountable and staying consistent. I also believe that there is a strong benefit in articulating and teaching material to another willing participant, resulting in richer understanding of the exam and its concepts. It's one thing to recognize the right answer; it's another to clearly explain why it's right and defend that reasoning to someone else. I believe that process of teaching sharpens your thinking in a way that solo review doesn't quite replicate and we can teach what we learn to each other when it's beneficial.

My Background/Context: I am currently and consistently PT around 167-169, with a goal of >170, performing slightly better at RC than LR. As for my study routine, I complete one hour of deep focus per day, usually in the morning or early afternoon, with Sundays off. During this hour, I complete a full LR or RC section, then go through flaw review.

My Philosophy on the LSAT: I believe the strength in conquering something difficult like the LSAT is about consistency. What's truly hard isn't solely the work itself; it's sustaining that consistency over time. This is where I believe having an accountability/study partner can really act as a benefit. 

If this resonates with you and you share a similar approach to studying, I'd love to connect. I think we'd work well together keeping each other accountable and staying on track through January.

Hi everyone,

I have a question regarding GPA. Unfortunately, my GPA is quite low. My LSAT practice scores are really good; however, because of my low GPA, I’ve started to feel nervous.

LSAC completed the evaluation, and it came out as “average.” This evaluation also included my GPA. I’m not sure whether law schools will look at my original GPA or the overall LSAC evaluation average.

I read on some blogs that for international students, admissions staff often consider the LSAC evaluation average rather than the raw GPA. Is that true?
