171 back in November after convincing myself that taking a billion preptests (like, 18) was the best way to study. I'm now officially out of completely fresh preptests, my highest is a 92%. What would you do in this situation?

My last 5 tests have been (most recent) 178 on PT 140 (this was retaking my diagnostic, which I took in Jan 2025 -- maybe a fluke bc I subconsciously remembered answers?), 176 on PT 123, 173 on PT 159, 166 on PT 155 (bad day?) 171 on PT 143. All since July 5. The variance here scares me a little bit, but maybe I need to learn how to get over a need to have a clear diagnostic.

Anyone else in this situation? Can anyone can offer any help?

I take my test tomorrow. I recently did a couple of drills on Lawhub and it looks completely different than 7sage. Can anyone who has taken the August LSAT let me know what the actual layout is closer to?

Hi everyone! I'm looking for an affordable LSAT tutor. My latest PT was a 155 with a 170 Blind Review, so I feel like I'm leaving a lot of points on the table during timed sections. RC is by far my biggest weakness, and I'm also trying to bridge the gap between my timed LR and BR performance. If you tutor or know someone you'd recommend or any general advice, I'd love to connect. Thanks so much!

First vs Last PT! Woohoo!

Hi everyone! I just wanted to take a moment to share my first and last PT score (April to Aug). It’s been a rollercoaster of a journey, and I’m finally taking the LSAT this month! Don’t give up!! :))

Hi all,

Since I've already done the more recent PTs which better reflect what I'll see on test day (PT 153 to PT 159), is there much benefit in taking older tests? I feel that the more recent tests are harder, so I'm not sure if my performance on an older test will accurately reflect my future score 😞.

For reference, I'm taking the LSAT in October and need advice, thank you!

Question:

All libraries and bookstores are intellectual places. Most well-stocked intellectual places showcase a wide range of books on various subjects. But if an intellectual place is disorganized, it is not well-stocked.

Analysis:

See the library one is technically a formal argument, it sets two conditions (p) = All libraries and bookstores are intellectual places, AND (q) = Most well-stocked intellectual places showcase a wide range of books on various subjects. Charted this looks like (p) ^(q) > X The statement (g) = if an intellectual place is disorganized, it is not well-stocked. Cannot equal X because it violates the condition of (q) that is " it is not" infers NOT(q)… That is being "not well organized" does not equate to "a wide range of books on various subjects". It just means we don't have enough information to draw a valid conclusion, or to prove the conclusion true or false. A NULL conclusion is still a conclusion, it just sucks at its job. If the last sentence said "has a limited selection" instead of "is disorganized" it would be a valid conclusion.

When people imagine or have delusional answers to ideas, formally called "Besires" in philosophy, you get this kind of argument structure. In fact, that is what most of the "God of the gaps" domain of argument in religion is. This is a really common thinking trap absolutely, but I don't know that it was represented correctly here.

I am into the final month of studying for the September exam. How many pts I should do a week? My study plan says 1 a week, but that only leaves me with roughly 4 more until the exam.

I am taking the LSAT on Saturday. I felt like I had a breakthrough on my LR where I started to score around -3 to -5. My most recent PT ended with me getting -4 and -5 on my LR. That was basically a week ago and was my last PT before my real test. I wanted to just do some light work this week to not lose my growth, but the last two LR sections I have done (yesterday and today) have given me scores of -8 and -9. What happened?!! I am now sad thinking that I will not perform my best on test day. I don't know what to do.

issues joining lives

anyone else having issues joining lives? this is the 3rd time for me (different tutors/times). EDIT- it was cancelled

I just took PT117 and did absolutely HORRIBLE as in 6 points less than my average .... Is it just me or was the vocabulary so much harder in LR compared to the newer tests aka 140s and above? I guess my question is are the newer tests better indications of what tests in 2026 will look like or are the older tests equally as indicative?

Hi all, one of my remaining weak spots for LR is phenomenon hypothesis. I have watched the videos walking through the approach to these questions, and also feel confident in my ability to identify the phenomenon/hypothesis when doing the questions, but I still have some of my lowest accuracy in these questions. Does anyone have some tips for Phenomenon Hypothesis that go beyond being able to identify the phenomenon/hypothesis and any potential alternative hypotheses?

The schools I'm applying to don't seem to ask for Why X statements. Should I be writing them and sending them as optional statements anyway? Or should I only do that for my top choice school? Or is it better to not write a Why X statement and instead write a diversity statement? I'm just so confused...

Hey everyone! If anyone is from the NJ/NYC area and would like to form a study group for the November LSAT (or any future exam dates) and meet at a library, cafe, or any other recommended places, please let me know

I'm trying to BR a section and it won't show me the recommended questions for BR, or let me switch questions. I've tried from multiple devices/networks. Is anyone else having this issue?

Hey everyone,

I just took the August LSAT today. My GPA is super low, so I really need a low 170s score. My PTs were in the 150s, so I already know I’m definitely retaking in October.

Since I know the grind isn't over, I'd love some advice on navigating this weird in-between phase:

Rest: How do you actually relax right now knowing you have to test again?

Mindset: How do you avoid burnout and get your head right for round two?

Game Plan: How much time off should I take before diving back into prep for October?

Any tips from people who have been in this exact spot would be awesome. Thanks!

Lawhub full-screen unavailable

I'm literally taking the LSAT tomorrow, and they removed the full-screen feature just a few hours ago.

They also confirmed in the email that full-screen mode won't be available.

Without full screen, there are three different scroll bars in RC—one for the passage, one for the answer choices, and one for the entire page. They all move independently, and it's making it really hard to focus.

Does anyone know if there's a way to keep the scroll bars fixed or make the layout easier to work with? Any tips from people who've taken it this way would be greatly appreciated.

Good luck August LSAT takers! I hope everything goes smoothly despite the last-minute interface change.

August LSAT UI

If anyone is taking the LSAT today or tomorrow please let me know if it full screens automatically when you start the test. I was just doing a double check on the UI today because my test is on Friday and it looks like they removed it. I know they made other changes like the font, but this would really suck if RC isn't full screened since that is how i've always pted.

Thank you!

Study Partner(s)

Hi Guys, I know a lot of people ask but I am looking for a study partner(s). No need to be in the same area, we can do zoom calls. Help each other out and drill together. I am taking my Test in November and I just made it to the 150s :D I am aiming for mis 160s. I am struggling a bit with RC and a little with LR specifically Phenomenon Hypothesis, causal and Conditional reasoning a bit. Any day and time works, Just let me know

I might be missing this but is there a way to have a journal tab/section where we can easily scroll down our notes? Perhaps even convert to PDF for a in depth study of our patterns.

Are you sure?
