Hello everyone,

My performance between timed and untimed practice is pretty night and day, almost 10 point difference. The interesting thing is that I am taking the same amount of time to answer questions on both my untimed and timed. Anyone else struggle with obsessing/worrying over the time? What has helped you to overcome this?

I am taking the September 2026 test and am scoring in the high 160s. My goal is to score in the 170s. Currently, I feel a little lost in my studying with where I am. I realized I don't have many full fresh PTs left, so I have not been taking them regularly, and I also feel like I may be running low on fresh questions for my drills, especially for my high-priority question types. As a result, I feel like I have not been making much progress or utilizing my time effectively. For context, this upcoming test would be my last time taking the LSAT. Does anyone have any suggestions or tips on direction? Anything is appreciated!

Realistically, how often are you diagramming conditional logic or formal logic during timed LR sections?

I understand how to diagram, but with only about 1:20–1:25 per question, I often feel like stopping to diagram costs me too much time. Most of the time I only diagram if I think I have extra time, which honestly isn't very often.

For those consistently scoring in the mid/high 160s or 170s:

• Do you diagram almost every conditional question?

• Only on the hardest ones?

• Or have you trained yourself to do most of it mentally?

I'm trying to figure out whether I should force myself to diagram more or whether getting faster at recognizing the logic mentally is the better long-term strategy. I'd love to hear what actually worked for you.

I have been consistently getting a 169 on my last four pts, before that I have scored in the low 170s before. I am trying to get into the low 170s but I don't know what I'm doing wrong! I can manage a -0/-1 on LR/RC during sections and intense drilling. But every time I improve on a certain area, I tend to regress on others I was much stronger in! I'm just trying to keep my LR/RC scores the same on sections vs full PTs. I'm planning on taking the August test and this recent plateau is very disappointing. tips?

Hi I am studying for the October exam. I just took a practice test I am stuck in the high 140s. I am trying to push to get over the hump. On my drills I am getting only 1-2 wrong but I can’t see to transfer it into my practice test. Help?? Any suggestions.

Going into the June LSAT I was averaging around 167 and ended up getting a whopping 159. I had never scored this low before. I knew that I was extremely anxious going into the exam (I panicked in the first section which didn’t help) and I had definitely been overworking myself (I took six PTs in the two weeks going into my exam), but I didn’t expect that large of a score drop.

I changed my studying routine going into August and have emphasized quality over quantity. I’m averaging around 170 and my last two PTs were 171. But I’m still very worried that I’m going to see another massive score drop this August LSAT. I have a hard time believing it was just a fluke. And I feel like I really need to take some measures to combat test anxiety going into this exam. Any advice? I’m putting so much weight onto this exam and the ptsd from last exam is getting to me lol.

Hi everyone! I have a question about LOR. I had a professor who I established a good and strong relationshipwith, who told me that he would be willing to write my letter of recommendation. He told me it would be completed by a certain date. I looked at the CAS application on LSAC and I saw that he did not open the link. Mind you this was back in May and he confirmed with me that he received it. I tried to follow up with him multiple times with no success. I asked another professor who was my fellowship leader who I also had multiple coffee chats with and he only read my message and did not respond to me. I am wondering, I should just get two professional LOR? Any advice would be great.

Hi, wondering which personal statement route to take. On one hand I can write about my legal experience and why law school is my next professional step, or I can right something about one of my hobbies and transform it into something that tells my story in a totally different and creative way. Is there a preference for admissions?

Hi! I am currently scoring in the low 160s but in the mid 170s in BR. I'm looking for someone that is scoring in the 140s and low 150s and wanting to help them. Message below or me if you are interested!

Hey, just joined and I am using Chrome, but when I click on adaptive drill my screen looks really weird and overlaps and I can't click the x button nor can I see the full question. Any ideas or help?

Is it just about practicing to reach my BR score?

Is it possible to adjust how BR averages are calculated? I have tests from before I started blind reviewing that I want included in my overall analytics, but rather than disregarding them for my BR analytics, it's including them. So my BR analytics are way off. The only thing I can actually rely on is the highest score because the lowest and averages are just wrong. Given that my current goal is closing my BR gap, these analytics being accurate are kind of important to me.

Hello everyone, I am taking my first LSAT August 8th, which is this Saturday. I have been going back and forth on whether or not I should take one more LSAT tomorrow morning. Due to my accommodations for the exam, there wasn't many available time options to schedule the in person exam at, so I was forced to chose 8:30am. I am not the kind of person who wakes up early, but I have gradually been trying to fix my sleep schedule this week to accommodate the early test time. On test day I will have to wake up at 6:30am, so I was thinking to take one last practice test tomorrow morning and wake up at 6:30 and take the PT at 8:30 to simulate early testing conditions. Is this a good idea to do so close to my exam or have I missed my chance to simulate this? I feel like one more practice test might be beneficial for me but have heard many people advise against this. Please let me know. and good luck to everyone else taking the exam this week. Thank you!

In the last week I have scored 169 and a 180 on PT and basically nothing in between. I feel like there are environmental factors influencing the lower scores, being noticeably tired or distracted, getting used to UI changes after a break. I am just anxious going into test day when it feels like a toss up between a life changing score and one that might not even get me into my desired school. I am not reaching for a 180 on the test, just hoping to score near the average of these, but any advice on reducing the impact of environmental factors/distractions or generally increasing consistency would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,

I use the SAGE AI feature in order to set up my drill settings. Lately, whenever I do this, the ai does not provide me with the link to get to the drill. I need to ask the chat multiple times for the link in order to get the link. This started to become an issue about 2 weeks ago. Before, I would tell the chatbot my drill setting and it would automatically give me a link. This issue wastes my monthly AI usage. Please fix or does anyone have a way to fix this issue?

Hi everyone! I hope you all are doing well. I am looking for an affordable tutor as I can't afford much. I currently am in the low 160s and I am trying to get to mid 170s by October/November exams. I like a more intuitive approach. I know 2-3 months is a stretch, but I am fully committed.

Anyone have recommendations on the best earplugs to order and use for test day? Are they ones they allow you to use decent? I get distracted easily and want to make sure that I can do whatever possible to mitigate that. Thank you!

Hi! Im planning to take my next LSAT in October with the goal of scoring 160 or higher. Currently, I am sitting consistently in the 152-154 range. Given that my diagnostic was a 138, im very proud of my improvement so far, but I know I can do better. LR is my best section, sitting around 17-20 correct per section. RC is where I really struggle... -13/-14 haunts me daily. Last week I scored my first -9 on RC and almost broke an ankle from jumping for joy. Anyways... if you previously scored in the same range as me on RC and improved, please send me all your tips! Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone!! I'm struggling to improve with RC and it's usually because of the time. I'm trying to do low res summaries of each paragraph and a brief review before getting into the questions but I end up with only around 3 minutes for the questions. Usually the last two questions I miss because I'm rushed. Anyone have random tricks that have been helpful? I saw a comment a few days ago about highlighting anything that seems like the author's opinion since there are usually questions on that, which has been a great piece of advice. Any other ideas? I take my first official test on Saturday!

WDYM I can't being in my reusable mug? It has to be a clear bottle with exactly ZERO words on it? My mug just says YETI on it! I was also planning on bring in some water with a vitamin/ caffeine mix in it, and I can't even do THAT?! I HATE LSAC.

My last PT before test day. 172. My overall average for PT's before this is 164. UMMMMMMM... what do I do with this information? Should I be excited or more anxious that I'm not going to test to my full potential this week?

Hi everyone! I am taking the LSAT this friday and have been experiencing some nervousness as the day gets closer! For context I have quite severe anxiety/anxiety disorders, but I've found myself today feeling "itchy" and having a hard time getting through a practice test today. I've completed half of it, and my goal was to review it tomorrow, study Wednesday, and have Thursday off before the test. But I don't know if I should just stop studying for the day, and complete the PT tmrw or just keep pushing through it today. I just feel nervous and uneasy and I don't want it to affect my confidence or performance. Any advice helps! :/ (last week I scored well on a PT and felt quite good about myself, what changed ?!)

Final PT Before August LSAT! Finally consistent in closing gaps between actual and BR!!!
