Feeling really frusturated, here is my most recent LSAT score result. I need to at least a 160. The Blind Review shows that i KNOW im around 160s knowledge and i am beyond my goal score (i had a diagnostic score of 137!!) its just NOT translating in my raw score. I need to close the blind review LSAT gap before January 10th, but I literally don't know what to do. I have improved timing and pacing wise, as that was previously a huge issue.

Reading Comprehension is my weakest section. I changed my technique after this LSAT score to read structurally and literally, as I was previously reading for content. However, I took a RC Timed Section today and still got -14!!! I keep consistently falling for trap answers!! I have no idea what to do, or if its even possible to close this blind review gap. I am trying so hard, I have the knowledge of a 160+ scorer but its not translating. Please give me your tips and tricks to close this huge gap? And how else should I do my blind review to close the gap?

thank you all so much in advance.

Hi everyone!

I am planning on applying for law school this upcoming fall, so fall of 2026 with the hopes of starting law school in 2027. When do you think I should aim to take my first lsat? I began studying in December, my diagnostic was a 160 and I am aiming for around a 168! I have heard a lot of mixed reviews about taking in in April vs. June, with some saying April is too early to take one, but others saying June is too late for a first attempt. Any advice anyone has on this would be super helpful :)

I am a full-time university student with a demanding management job, a relationship, family commitments, and just life stuff in general. I've been trying so hard to balance everything and focus on my LSAT prep, but it is just so draining at times. No matter what I do or how many sacrifices I make, I feel like I never have enough time. And when I push through regardless of my exhaustion, I end up doing poorly on everything I'm trying to balance. Any advice to deal with this kind of lifestyle?

Hey Everyone! My lsat is in a week and im not sure what to focus on in my last couple days of studying? What should I do??

Hello all, I am trying to find or create a study group here in Dallas. I am North of Dallas in the prosper area looking for a study buddy or buddies to meet once a week or so to review topics, or ask questions about where having issues and tips we can share with each other. I have a car and willing to travel in the DFW area. I have my first take in April, but anyone is welcome. Hoping to get together! If you are interested please reply and we can coordinate. My schedule is currently very flexible. If someone is not in the DFW are and wants to join happy to do a zoom call as well. Good luck and happy new year to all

I took my first timed LR after foundational lessons and I tanked it, 14/25😞. In BR I did a lot better, 22/25, and immediately understood why I got the 3 questions wrong. So, I feel like I understand the concepts but time is the issue. Any tips on improvement?

Also, I take my LSAT in April. Do I have enough time to improve?

Hi! I am studying for the LSAT and want to create a study group. I am taking the LSAT soon and would love the extra motivation! I'm in the Miami Dade County area :)

Salam, just wondering if anyone from the Muslim community in the DMV (preferably NOVA) would be interested in meeting in-person or over Zoom! Would be great to have the support esp as Ramadan and admission decisions approach us :)

When configuring a drill, I manually select "Fresh" even though it's already set to it, since a good half (if not the majority) of the questions I'm provided are ones I've answered before. Has anyone else experienced this?

Happy New Year! 🥳

Upon reviewing my writing section submission for the Jan LSAT, I found 5-6 typos - minor, but certainly present (i.e., grammar splices, redundancies, etc.). Is this going to set me back from an admissions perspective?

Hello everyone, I am writing my first ever LSAT next weekend, jan 10th.

I am wondering when the best time to do the writing section is?

I have heard many different POV, and I'm wondering what worked best/didn't work for you?

thanks!

Hi! When I first started studying I took most recent ptests within the 150s and worked backwards. as i get closer to the test I have been redoing those with the 150s with mixed results. which ptests should I take closest to the real thing to get me prepared?

and does anyone have a recommended list of ptests to take leading up (ex. varied as ptests 149, 154, 132, 147, etc. )? Thank you!!

is this possible or is it pure luck

I am slightly unhappy with the explanations provided in PT 159. While I do appreciate the detail, some of them are so long that I end up struggling to actually figure out why something is right or wrong. Would appreciate them being cut down like the acs on other pts.

My scores on older prep tests are consistently higher (by about 5 points) than newer ones. I feel as I am taking these newer tests that the questions are visibly more difficult. Am I crazy or is there any credence to this observation. I am taking the February LSAT; should I abandon the older tests and study only the new ones in preparation? I appreciate any insight. Thanks.

I'm taking my final LSAT in January, and I feel like I've done a good job with maintaining nerves (which was my biggest obstacle) so I can better retain strategies and not get overwhelmed.

But I'm also scared, and I'm not trying to put so much pressure on it, anyone know what to do?

Hi, I just started learning for the LSAT just a week ago and took a diagnostic test. I got a 147 which is a little discouraging, but I'm staying focused and motivated. I intend to score in the high 170s.

I noticed that my main problem was speed and comprehension. The pressure of the timer really gets to me and makes it harder to focus on what I'm reading. I've faced this problem in many tests in the past. I know I can up my base score to at least the low 150s just by fixing this timing problem and no additional LSAT prep.

All the words jumble together and stop meaning anything, then I panic about wasting time, lose my train of thought and the cycle begins again. In the end I completely missed 4-6 questions in each section alone just because of timing. I'm considering applying for accommodation when the time comes, but I want to plan for worst case scenario.

Here are the things I'm planning to do:

1. Timed drills every other day, with less time than on the official LSAT

2. I ask Chat GPT to generate boring, and difficult to read passages every day, then answer questions on them to increase my general reading compression skills. (I usually avoid AI so if anyone has recommendations that replace Chat GPT please let me know)

3. Start doing regular daily activities - like cooking breakfast, getting ready, etc. - with timers. My thought process is that If I get used to timing things in general it will eventually feel like less pressure?

That's all I've got. Does any one have any tips on how to work faster? And how to get rid of that timer/test anxiety?

can someone help me understand this; i legit couldnt even get through the stimulus

Some of you have noticed that question type tags for some of the "Bonus" PTs (PT7 through 23) are off. We're not trying to gaslight you! We're aware of this issue and are in the process of fixing.

hey everyone, i’m an indian student and i’ve been preparing for the LSAT for a few weeks now. i’m aiming for a US JD (fall 2027 intake) and i’m still in the early stages of building my profile.

recently, a study abroad agency here told me that the US usually doesn’t grant visas for law school even if someone has a strong profile and a decent LSAT score. they basically implied that unless you’re exceptional, it’s not worth the risk, which honestly left me feeling pretty discouraged.

so i wanted to hear from real people instead of agencies.

are there any international students here, especially from india, who gave the LSAT and actually got into a good law school in the US? how did your application process go and how did things work out with the visa?

also, in your honest opinion, is pursuing a US JD as an international student in the current climate a reasonable bet, or am i throwing time and money at something that’s stacked against me from the start?

i’d really appreciate any real experiences or advice.

thanks so much.

I just took PT 152 and scored 159 - significantly lower than PT 157 which I took a few days ago and scored 170 on. Been scoring mid to high 160s in general. Feeling really discouraged as I'm taking the LSAT in 10 days.

I feel like the concepts blurred together on this most recent test. Granted, I didn't do a ton of review on the previous PT, but I'm trying to do more full PTs because I haven't done a whole lot of them. It feels like it's so easy for me to forget how to apply concepts and make mistakes if I'm not constantly reviewing and studying the concepts, but I'm not sure how to balance my study time. I know I probably should have taken more rest days between the last test and this one.

Anyone experience something like this and have any suggestions? Do I just need to rest more? Review concepts and explanation videos? Is PT 152 unusually hard? Reading comp used to be a strength, this time I had so much trouble summarizing every paragraph and brain was a blur. Feeling so frustrated at having worked so hard to get to my goal score (been studying for about 1.5 years starting at low 140s) and things feel all over the place so soon before the test. Any advice on mental perspective?

Thank you in advance for any insights. Good luck to everyone out there taking the January test.

How do i maximize the utility of my wrong answer journal? I have been writing down what I did wrong, but im still making the same mistakes...

Hi!

I'm going back over the Foundations but struggling to find a section that discussed probability and how it links with formal and informal logic (conditional vs causal reasoning).

Can anyone signpost to something on 7Sage that covers this?

Thanks!

Hello, since the site shut down, why am I being charged for classic 7sage?

Took my first Prep Test about a month ago and got a 144. Today I took my second one and received 151. While it is low it is closer to my goal of 165+. I plan on taking the LSAT in April. Any tips to improve my score?
