I just scored a 155 on PT123 (BR 164). I am aiming for 170+ by June.

I've been studying everyday for 3-6 hours since June 2025 (did the whole curriculum, read the loophole, blind reviewed a ton and do drills every day) and I just feel so discouraged. I really thought that I improved and understood the concepts better, but under timed conditions I just keep messing up. i suspect that S3 and S4 were worse due to fatigue and lack of concentration, but I'm still sad that I missed still missed so many.

Any advice?

hello,

I took the diagnostic test, but I realized that I couldn't understand the passage.. What can I do to understand/comprehend?

Hi all, does anyone in Toronto want to partner up to study together virtually? I will be taking the June 2026 lsat. Or are there any study groups I can join?

If I get -1, or -0 frequently on old LR sections that i have taken a month or 2 ago. Is that a good sign?

For those that have made the leap from 154 to 170, how and what did you do, should I begin to drill only level 4s and 5s and then PT twice a week?

If possible, please add a video for Principle Fast Track Questions. It would help so much!!!

Anyone go to UCF and wanna study?

DO YOU THINK I NEED TO RETAKE MY EXAM? I GOT LOW 150’S. I WORK FULL TIME AND STUDIED FOR ABOUT 6 WEEKS. I KNOW I CAN DO BETTER BY JUNE. I WAS REJECTED BY ONE SCHOOL BECAUSE I TRIED EARLY DECISION. I CAN WAIT AND SEE WHAT THE OTHER SCHOOLS DECIDE. I HAVE A UNIQUE AREA OF INTEREST AND MY PERSONAL STATEMENT HOPEFULLY EXPRESSES THAT. I WILL KEEP ATTENDING WEDNESDAY ADMISSIONS CLASSES. ANY TIPS OR ADVICE FOR ME?

hello

please tell me how is windsor uni ‘s single JD?

I got an offer letter…

thank you

Took the February LSAT and got a 155. I'm pretty disappointed by that. My diagnostic test in December was a 152, and I took 7 more practice tests, and each time I did better than the time before, with one exception. eventually i got a 160 and my highest was a 163, which was my second to last practice test before the LSAT. Then my last pt was the worst I ever did. I got a 151, worse than my diagnostic test!

It just feels bad that I "crashed" like that. Each time I started a pt, I was very scared to start it because I was afraid of doing worse on it than the ones before but then it became real. When I first started studying i told myself no pressure and that I would be happy with any score as long as it would get me into any law school, even without a scholarship. That's what I was suggested by a couple of lawyers. But once I started doing better, I started getting competitive and greedy and wanting to go to more prestigious schools and I was comparing myself to my tutor, who got a 180. I've never done particularly well in school. I also have adhd and was always a 60s, 70s, 80s student, but my tutor said he was like me and got a 180 and went to NYU.

I am registered to take the lsat again in April but now I'm more scared to study for this test than I was before because now the expectations are higher. Im also going crazy because I'm not working now and I'm all by myself and in my head like a hermit. Any tips for studying and not feeling so meh about myself?

Hi team, I'm feeling a little discouraged after receiving my score for the February LSAT. I've been studying since mid-october and took the february LSAT in which I received a 149 score. I expected to break the 150s at least, and didn't. The score I need to apply to the law schools I want is a 163-165. Is it possible to increase that much by June LSAT? Please let me know and maybe even give tips? I am feeling discouraged and stressed especially since I left this exam thinking I did good.

Hi everyone,

I’m currently studying for the April/June exams and was wondering if anyone would be interested in forming a study group in Seoul or online. The goal would be to discuss difficult questions, improve accuracy, and keep each other accountable. If you’re interested, please feel free to send me a message. Thanks!

Hi All! I am taking the lsat in June and working through my study plan right now. I have fallen very far behind on the study plan timeline and working my butt off to get caught back up. Does anyone have a similar experience/any insight? I have saved weekends for getting caught too but I find myself extremely distracted on the weekends. Any advice/words of encouragement are welcome!

Additionally, I am an undergrad student in norcal... anyone looking for a study buddy?

Hi all!

I'm studying part time and could use support and motivation. I've been studying for the last few months, mostly doing CC. I'm feeling a little stuck around 162 and am aiming for a 173. If anyone is in the area and has the similar ambitions, please feel free to reach out and we can make a What's app GC!

Good luck studying!

I managed 80% drill accuracy in LR Link Assumption tags at 3 and 4 star difficulty.

Not bragging. Very proud moment because this is one of my weaker areas.

I did it while feeding my newborn daughter haha.

Where the dads at in here!?

I withdrew from a writing and film analysis elective class because I would not have gotten a good grade and it would have impacted my GPA. My entire transcript has all As (my school does not do A+ grades) besides 2 A- and 1 B so my GPA is still very high (all none A grades came from electives, major and minor GPA is 4.0). I did not have a reason for withdrawing besides the fact that the class was a film analysis class and I randomly signed up for it with no interest in film analysis (bad action on my part, yes I know) and I would have gotten a B at best, likely lower. I didn't want to take the GPA hit because even with the 2 A- and 1 B my GPA is still competitive. Was withdrawing a bad idea? Do I need to have an adendum for the class I withdrew from?

I am first gen so I don't know any of the application process nuances so any opinions are appreciated! Thank you!

I know the key difference is that conditionals are always true (they are a rule), while causation is weaker. Does this mean that if you see language like "if A then probably B", it is causal? In general, what are causal indicators and tips+tricks to recognizing causal logic that looks like conditional logic?

I just need to vent a little bit, I started 7Sage at the start of February. I have noticed some improvements, my PT score after two weeks only went up one point. I'm testing at a 146 currently and I am hoping to take the June LSAT, I will take it in August if needed. If anyone has some encouragement or advice that would be appreciated :)

(Side Note: I love this program, I just don't feel like I am the person that is an LSAT god)

Plateauing a bit here and trying to break out of the 160's and into 170's. Wondering if anyone is interested in forming a group to check in every week via chat or call to motivate each other and talk out difficult questions?

Hi there,

My name is Carl, and I've been tutoring the LSAT since the early 2000s, online and in person. These days I mostly work online over Zoom.

I would never tell someone that it's impossible to self-study for the test or that a tutor is absolutely required, by any means. I would say, however, that having the right guidance at the right moment in your studies can both save you a lot of frustration and streamline the process of improving your score. I can guide you from the beginning of your studies or step in as a troubleshooter when you hit a sticking point. I can take a look at the work you've done recently and try to diagnose what's holding you back and provide you with a recommendation of the best next steps to take in the short term and in the long term.

Two people scoring in the 170s might tackle the test in completely different ways. My job as a tutor is not to turn you into a carbon copy of me, but to help you find the combination of techniques and methods that will get you the score you want. Sure, there are certainly some required skills on the test--some questions are impossible, for example, if you don't know what a contrapositive is. But there's also a lot of leeway. There's no one-size-fits-all approach, and I tailor my lessons to you and your needs.

I specialize in helping people move the needle who've been stuck on a plateau for a long time. I also offer a free one-hour evaluation session to all potential clients, an hour for us to meet, discuss your troubles, have me demonstrate my tutoring style, and have you ask any questions you have. So, please, reach out if you'd like to schedule an evaluation with me to see if I can help you.

The easiest way to reach out is to use the scheduler at my website: https://www.ivorytowertutoring.com/schedule/ . You can also shoot me a DM here.

Hi everyone! My name is Rachel Arnold! I'm looking to join or create a Lincoln, Nebraska LSAT study group for the June LSAT! In person would be amazing, but virtual would be okay as well! Please let me know if you are interested!

Long shot but anyone in the SGV wanna do a study group?

Hi! I’m wondering whether, and to what extent, your speed improved over time on sections or practice tests. I am happy with my score, but right now I am taking double time on everything. Should I expect that over time, my score will stay the same while my time decreases?

Do you have any tips for getting faster?

Thank you so much for your help! :)

I recently joined Bailey Luber zoom call for RC Bootcamp and got her Code .IO link. I have been using it but today my computer restarted and I lost the link. Any chance anyone has hers and can send it to me please?

Thank you!!

Hi, I went from a 137 diagnostic to a 180 official score, and now I help others reach their LSAT goals.

Before I do any kind of sales pitch, I put together an in depth breakdown of what I genuinely think will help you improve. These are what I consider the non negotiables:

1. Start drilling immediately. Do not just do books or beginner classes where they just go over concepts, start doing real problems.

2. Predict answer choices in both LR and RC. A lot of people avoid predicting early on because they are not good at it yet, but long term it is one of the most important skills for real score growth.

3. Do 1 to 2 timed sections per week at least, and review them immediately.

4. Make time for one focused hour a day, and if you can, two hours. No phone, no FaceTiming your significant other, no football on in the background. You need to completely lock in for at least an hour a day.

5. Unless you are already scoring in the 170s, stop taking weekly full PTs. I did weekly PTs for months while I was scoring in the 150s and 160s, but the reality is it often becomes chasing a score rather than improving. You will get far more benefit from two timed sections with immediate review rather than a PT.

6. Use as many official attempts as you need. I scored 169, then 169 again, and then a 180. Do not cut yourself short. Keep taking the official test until you get a score that matches your PT range.

7. If you are in undergrad, prioritize your GPA. I have friends who studied like crazy for the LSAT, scored 170+, and then tanked their GPA in the process. Law schools care about both. You can retake the LSAT, but you cannot fix your GPA once it is damaged.

8. Slow down. If you are consistently finishing sections but not scoring in the 170s, you are missing easy points throughout the section. On my 180, I basically guessed on the last question in one section, but I made sure I was extremely confident on every question I attempted. Yes, sometimes you need to cut your losses, but do not go into questions expecting to do that.

9. Stop obsessing over accommodations. It seems like everyone gets them these days, but I did not. That said, if you qualify and have documentation, apply. A lot of people with ADHD or other legitimate issues feel guilty applying and do not. If you qualify, you should apply.

10. Stop making excuses. As a tutor, I constantly hear people say “I’m so busy” or “I had a long week.” I am not discounting what you are going through, but everybody has something. You are competing against other people who are also busy and also dealing with life. If you cannot lock in, you are wasting time.

Some side tips:

• Every wrong answer involves at least two mistakes: you chose the wrong answer, and you failed to choose the right answer. Diagnose both issues every time.

• Blind review only the questions you got wrong, not the entire section. The new 7Sage formatting makes this much easier than the old version.

• If you are just beginning do not read the question stem first, read the stimulus first. If you have been studying for a long time then it may be hard to switch from question stem to stimulus.

• Treat every LR stimulus like it was written by a politician you absolutely hate. Pick apart their argument. Most of the time it is a bad argument. If you are reading LR stimuli and thinking “that makes sense” more than 1 out of every 10 times, you probably are not being critical enough.

• Do not schedule the LSAT until you are ready. Do not put unnecessary pressure on yourself. Wait until your PTs are in the range you want, then sign up.

• Do not worry about “using up” problems. There are thousands of questions, and even if you go through all of them, you will forget most of what you did.

• Do not only drill hard problems. If you are starting out, easier problems are often better for long term improvement because they build fundamentals.

• Do not over study. Treat it like working out. If you were training for a marathon, you would not run 20 miles every day. Aim for 1 to 3 quality hours a day. Anything more than that is often just going through the motions.

• Lock in on RC. A lot of people study LR and barely touch RC because LR is more enjoyable. My recommendation is one RC passage a day. It is not a huge time commitment, and it keeps you consistent. Some days you should do more, but commit to at least one untimed passage daily.

My biggest piece of advice for everyone is this: believe in yourself. You can do this. I went from a 137 to a 180, and I am not some genius. There is a good chance you started off better than I did. If I can do it, anyone can.

This is a skills based test, not an IQ test. Once you truly understand that, the LSAT becomes much easier to improve on.

Now with all that said, I have worked with over 50 students, and a large chunk have broken into the 170s. I offer a very personalized approach to LSAT tutoring. Sessions are super interactive, and the goal is to get you set up so you approach every question with confidence.

Because I run my own company during the week, I have limited spots available at a time. I can work with people on price, but keep in mind that because my time is limited, I will prioritize higher rates if substantially different than another student.
