Hi all,

I am located in California and I am looking for an affordable tutor that can spend 1-2hrs twice a week with me. I work so my tutor sessions will need to happen around 7pm PST. I took the exam in June and scored a 149. My current practice tests fluctuate between 146-152. My biggest issue is Reading Comprehension where I am usually missing 12-15 questions. For logic reasoning I missing 9-13 questions. I am planning to take the lsat again in October and my goal is to score in low 160s if possible.

Hey guys! I am planning to apply to Law schools and I come from an international background, so my university evaluates our grades on a 10-point scale.

I wanted to know how it will be converted/evaluated for US Law Schools !!

Anybody else also coming from an international background, hmu !

Just finished taking the August LSAT and unfortunately ran into technical difficulties. I got kicked out of the exam twice; each time it reset the answers I had crossed out (but not the answers I had chosen for some reason). First time I was able to continue immediately, second time it forced me to take an additional 10 minute break. It was in Section 3, so I had already taken my break.

Has anyone experienced technical difficulties like this in the past? If so, would you recommend contacting LSAC? I’m not sure what they can do, but I feel like my testing process was disrupted and unfair.

Two weeks ago, we practically gave away 150+ Essay Workshops with our team of professional writers to help you brainstorm, outline, & revise a killer personal statement. Well, it was so popular that we decided to bring the deal back to give people who wouldn't ordinarily be able to access our best-in-class Admissions Services a chance to get some professional help.

How it works:

1. Get an Essay Workshop code here: XXXXX Limit one per student!

2. Once you get your code, you have 14 days to book an Essay Workshop here: https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule/e207221f/appointment/86404424?appointmentTypeIds[]=86404424

3. When you book, you'll send us a draft of your personal statement (or other admissions document). We'll spend some time with it, then meet to guide you through improvements.

4. This is a limited time deal! We got flooded last time we offered this, so it's only going to be up for a short time today. Once we've hit capacity, we're closing it, and we can't guarantee this will open again!

Edit** That's all, folks!

Every time I go to do a PT in Lawhub I find that the interface has changed and it is super annoying and throws me off when I start the PT. The most recent is that there is no full screen function anymore. WTF!? I know no one can do anything about it, I just needed to vent.

taking my first LSAT tmr but feeling so underprepared and already planning on doing another one in October. If i bomb my first one does that do anything to my application. I need some confidence booster rn ughhhhhhh.

Maybe I'm getting too comfortable posting on here lol, but I wanted to share a painting I made this week in efforts to relax and distract from LSAT anxiety. For those of you who are also highly critical of yourself, please let this serve as a reminder that your LSAT score does not define you and to give your mind some time to relax!

I have a few questions regarding GPA!

1. I am (hopefully) planning to go directly into law school after college, so is it correct that grades up until the end of junior year would count for applications (not senior year)?

2. Does a 3.81 vs a 3.83 GPA make a difference when applying? What about for a T14 school?

Thanks everyone!

I'm curious how much admissions committees really care about the number of attempts the LSAT is taken. Or do schools mostly focus on the highest score?

Also, does anyone personally know (or is anyone) who got into a T14 after taking the LSAT three times? I'd love to hear real experiences.

One more question: if I take the October LSAT as the 3rd attempt and submit all my applications as soon as scores are released in late October, is that still considered "early" for admissions and scholarships?

Would really appreciate any insight from applicants, current students, or admissions professionals!

Y'all, I don't know how to express my excitement that I only missed one question in a timed reading comp section. My LR sections have been fine but I've been grinding reading comp for so long and have seen so little progress, but this felt incredible. I'm not expecting this to be the norm for now, but boy does it feel incredible to get over a overperform.

I have been using the AI agent on 7sage to analyze my tests and tell me what question types I should focus on. It has become quite apparent where I am lacking. In my last PT I missed 26 LR questions and 22 of them were from causal reasoning and conditional logic. I have been trying to focus my study on these question types but to no success. I do not know what the disconnect is. Is there a trick or a way to get better at these question types. Not sure what to do, I am at a loss.

To preface, if this feature already exists--apologies in advance but I'd love to know where!

Right now, I manually add bookmarked questions to my drills. While this process works, it's highly inefficient. If there was a way to select "Bookmarked" as a status that would be great. Thanks.

I wish there was a way to see this on one page for all of my question tags

I took my first LSAT back 2022 and then life happened and I never got back into it. Here I am again, a masters degree, 3 kids, and a new business later attempting to take it again. Surprisingly, logic games were my strong suit but LSAC has now done away with them. Also, apparently they went back to in person testing as of this month? I'm curious to see if anyone is in the same boat as me and what they think of all the changes. I plan on sitting for the exam in September and already signed up for October too.

Hi everyone!

I was supposed to test today, but my test got cancelled because the testing center didn’t have the correct software loaded onto the computer. I was told that LSAC will start reviewing test day complaints and requests to reschedule on Monday. The retake day for the August administration is the 18th.

Has anyone had to do a reschedule before? Do you get your scores at the same time? I was really targeting turning in my application on September 1st and this has been such a rollercoaster of a day.

I’m not super complaining about the additional time to study or that now I actually know what to expect at the testing center… mostly I’m frustrated at having to take another day off work 😂

But also… if you see this, the super nice young woman who got me tissues while I was half crying half panicking on the phone to LSAC in the waiting room…. Thank you.

Hi all, for those that have taken the test at a testing center, are we allowed to bring a piece of paper with our log-ins? I memorized them, but just in case I get too nervous and forget..

Thanks!

So I notice that I do better on sections than I do on actual PTs. Does anyone have any reasons why this happens? It's quite discouraging to see your individual sections on PT to be significantly lower than what you get on drills/sections. Both for drills and sections I am being timed, just like I would be for PT/actual test.

My guess its mostly mental fatigue since towards the last section my brain was cooked, but any other guesses/advice is appreciated.

Hi, I'm Nick! I work primarily with students who feel stuck despite doing a lot of practice and who need a clearer system for understanding why they’re missing questions.

I went from 158 --> 178 in 4 months by learning how to diagnose my mistakes and change how I approached the test. I now work with students using that same approach, focusing on underlying reasoning issues that lead to fast, durable score improvements. I’m a good fit for students who want structured feedback and are willing to think carefully about their mistakes—not just do more questions.

You can find more about my tutoring philosophy and availability on my website. Happy to answer any questions!

Happy about the progress I've made but I need to work harder. I am going to take another prep test tonight. Hopefully I will keep up with the consistency. Pray for me!! Any advice/ tips on how to improve LR and RC sections?

Taking the lsat in September and kind of stagnant in my progress with LR. I’ve been reading loophole to help with that and it has been. I’m just nervous im wasting time. Please help. I want to take it one and done but if I need to take it again I will.

Hi-

Two very basic QoL requests:

1. Display reasons for BR flags Post-BR

   1. Currently, you can only see why a question was BR flagged during BR (by hovering over it). Then, when you get to the Post-BR review, this info is not available. Obv, you can develop a system to intuit why it was flagged, but i'm sure many students have not developed this system (see system below for completeness). Including them Post-BR would be very informative and helpful

      1. I have qualms with this even being an option during BR (looking at this before completing BR can be very tempting, and looking reduces the value of BR by giving you extra info, ie if you know its incorrect, you can then elim your originalanswer, etc) but that is besides the point

2. Show Post-BR question data at the question level

   1. Currently, you can only see this sort of data (answer bar graph, timing data, difficulty data) at what I will call the section/section review level (ie what you see immediately Post-BR). While it is helpful, the only way to look at his alongside the questions is with multiple tabs, or by repeatedly entering and existing questions. I often take pencil and paper notes of this info when relevant, so that I can refer to it while reviewing questions Post-BR. Having this detail at the question level (where the Post-BR review is most important!) would lead to more efficient and informative review

Hey friends -- I have a lil conundrum Im curious to find some commraderie in. When I get my PTs back, without fail every time the majority of the questions Im getting wrong are level 2/3 questions. Out of the 13 Level 4/5 questions on this last PT, I got 10/13 right, which means of the 12 LRs I got wrong, 9 were rated 2-3 stars. I get the rating system ultimately is just based on general success with the question, but it drives me insane to see that what everyone else is understanding easily, Im messing up, and sometimes vice versa! Has anyone else run into this? Were you able to name why? Does it even matter if I name why?

Trying to determine if the reasoning in the stimulus is valid, but in order to finalize my determination, I have a question:

After diagramming the stimulus, the contrapositives of the two premises — can they be combined into one conditional to yield a conditional that matches the conclusion?

If I can combine these contrapositives of the premises, would that conditional match the conclusion conditional?

Once I can determine the reasoning of the argument, I match to the correct AC

Hi! My name is El. I've been teaching the LSAT for about a year and have helped over a dozen students get better at approaching the test through developing stronger intuitions around the fundamentals, rather than rote memorization of question types. I'm looking to take on two to four more students interested in weekly, individual, remote classes.

My site (laikalsat.com) contains more information regarding my tutoring approach, history, and testimonials from former and current students.

My base rate is $100/hr, but I also offer discounts for those looking to buy in bulk, as well as those with LSAT fee waivers. I'm happy to sit down with you for a free, 30 minute consultation where we talk about your needs and struggles, and work through a few practice problems together to see if we're a good fit. I have broad and flexible availability: I typically have classes afternoons and evenings EST, both weekdays and weekends.

Feel free to book a consultation directly through my site, or DM me directly via 7Sage if you have any questions!

Hey all,

So I've taken the LSAT twice before, and am looking to take it again in November. My previous scores were 149 and 152. My question is, should I submit my apps with these scores (meaning, I'll submit my apps sometime in September/October), or should I wait until after I've taken the November LSAT, and just write an addendum being like "hey lol I know my score isn't super competitive but I do have an LSAT coming up so just wait for that xoxo thanks."

For context, my UGPA is 3.8 (I went to Santa Clara University), and I do have considerable experience in volunteering and organizations/clubs. Not completely sure what bearing this has on my question but I guess it's helpful to know.

Input would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks so much ☹️🫶
