Hello, needing some advice! I am at a loss for what to do, I am scoring around a 155 currently which is average for the schools I want to attend. However, with the cost of law schools currently and the job market, I have read it's not really worth it to attend unless you can get a pretty large scholarship. Most scholarship receipts score in the 170s. I am taking the June LSAT and am thinking of just postponing. I just graduated with my bachelor's in marketing and am also applying to business related jobs. I am wondering if I should just take my time studying to ensure I at least get close to a 170 or is it worth it to go into debt? Any advice on what to do? Tia!

Hi friends!
It feels like I'm flying blind right now so I figured I'd reach out to see if anyone has specific suggestions for how to prioritize the months between now and when I take the test in Sept, and how I can ease my anxiety during plateaus.
I just started studying at the end of April and have been working my way through the study plan 7Sage created for me. I'm also trying to get a jump on getting used to section timing, so I've been trying to do at least 1 timed, full section every other day or so. I think in a couple weeks I'd like to bump that up to taking one full practice test every week while I'm still getting through curriculum.
My diagnostic score was solid (161) and I'm aiming high, for a 173+. I've never been great at standardized tests, but this feels like something I can do if I just study for it the right way. Right now, my plan looks like
May-end of June --> Focus on getting through curriculum, alternated with taking practice sections and full practice tests in June (20-25 hrs/week)
July-end of August --> Practice practice practice; probably start the week with 1 PT, then review what I got wrong, drill specific question types I'm having a hard time with, and then end the week with another PT (15 hrs/week)
I know it's stupid to have expected progress already but I am finding myself a little frustrated reviewing sections and finding that I keep missing around the same # of questions! Is that normal? Is there anything I could be doing differently or better? How does my study timeline look?
Thanks in advance !
Hi Everyone! I've been struggling to stay focused and I hope that starting a daily group would help with that. Would anyone like to study with me every weekday at 5:30 PM PT?
Hi all- does anyone have some tips on something that made them go from the low 170s to mid-high 170s? I feel like it's the difference of a few questions that are keeping me from moving up, and I tell myself to read carefully etc. but it's hard to remember a laundry list of things to do under timed conditions. It's starting to feel like I'm not learning a ton from my WAJ as well. I also notice that I tend to have one more volatile -4 section on my practice tests, that seems to be keeping my score down. Grateful for any tips that helped to make the jump!
Hello everyone, I'm a first-gen college student and immigrant looking for an affordable tutor.
I have been stuck in the 162 score and my goal is to get a 170 by August. I am taking the June LSAT on June 6th and would love 2 sessions before then. I am also registered for the August LSAT. My goal is to break into the 170s by then, and I may sit the September exam if needed.
I have a 3.2 GPA (from a top 20 undergrad), so I am eager to invest in a good tutor who can help me boost my score and admission chances.
I'm looking for a tutor who:
Hi! I am looking for an LR study buddy to meet Monday and Wednesdays to do untimed/timed LR sections on our own and meet 6-8 pm est to review questions we got wrong and make it interactive. Someone with ADHD would be nice and scoring between -0 to -6 max (consistently in the low 160s/ mid 160s).
Also, if you live in NY would love to meet in person! Please message me!
Hey guys! I’m looking for study buddies in the Chicago area. Online or in person! 🤗
Hello all! I am running into a very frustrating situation that keeps costing me time and points in many question types including strengthen, necessary assumption, and sufficient assumption. Namely, I am dissecting a stimulus and either making the wrong assumptions or missing assumptions. So then, when I have my prephrase that either contradicts a correct assumption, or never regards a correct assumption, I will often ELIMINATE the correct answer because it feels like it contradicts my prephrase, or because I never thought of it.
Could anyone offer any advice on how to get these questions with consistent accuracy, or how to change my thinking habits? I have read all the typical advice, and it doesn't really help me on actual LSAT questions of these types, so I'm hoping there are some high scorers here who have perhaps a different approach they could share!
An example of my thinking is on PT 143, S 1, Q 9, a strengthen question, on red admiral butterflies, my prephrase, and my interpretation of the stimulus, was that perhaps the red admiral is mimicking the poisonous butterfly's flight pattern, and thus eluding predators. However, when looking at explanations, one of the assumptions that I obviously missed was that poisonous butterflies did not fly in an irregular flight pattern. Because of this, I immediately crossed out A, the correct answer.
Hello, I have been having trouble with my tutor having access to my analytics even with the link sharing provided. Is it actually possible to share if the tutor is not affiliated with 7Sage? Thank you!
Happy Memorial Day to you all,
I am still blind reviewing my PTS and it is taking a while, how long should I be spending on that? Right now I am trying to take untimed PTs, and then going to transition to timed PTs before my June test tate. How long should I spend blind reviewing? I don't want to take time away from doing all the PTs I can.
I’m an applied mathematics student at a top 5 math uni who has worked at a national lab and done some AI research and basically all the generic STEM activities (so maybe 1500 hours of research?). I don’t have any significant “demonstrated law interest” aside from loving logical reasoning and my mother being a lawyer. Any tips on how to bridge the gap to show admissions officers I’m really interested in law? I’m mainly interested in tech law since I have a significant tech background.
Should I take another diagnostic (prep test) after taking a two month break? Also, is there a way to reset my study plan since I’ve already done the practice blocks?
Hi! I am living in Durham just started studying for the LSAT while working 30-40 hours a week, aiming to take it in the Fall (around October). Does anyone in the area want to study together during the week/weekend?
I am kind of seeing principle questions
"The situation described above conforms most closely to which one of the following generalizations?"
fall into the line of most strongly supported questions
while PSA questions (find the rule/application)
"Which one of the following principles, if valid, would most help to justify the sociologist's argument?"
are ones where we have to find gaps, fill the gap, make sure it is delivered to the right outcome and right situation is being modeled. Am I correct in my line of thinking?
Hi everyone! I would love to have in-person study groups in the Boston area for anyone studying towards the fall LSATs. Please join if interested!
Hi everyone,
Looking to host an in-person LSAT Study Group that meets biweekly.
anyone in the Proper LA area looking to practice together?
Hi!
I am taking the June LSAT for the first time, and if I think I need to retake it, I will likely take it again in September. I plan on applying this cycle, meaning that most applications will open on September 1st, but the September LSAT scores will be released a few weeks afterwards.
Given the notable increase in law school applications, I have heard admissions departments say it is is better to submit applications sooner rather than later to have better chances of admissions and merit-based scholarship consideration--of course, they also say to submit your application when it is at its best.
My question is if I take the September LSAT, will I have enough time to submit my application "early enough" to have strong chances of admission and scholarships, or are applications being submitted at such a rate that submitting ASAP may be preferable?
I think I already know that submitting apps after the September scores are released won't be detrimental to my chances, but I'd definitely appreciate a second opinion.
Thanks!
I started my own Wrong Answer Journal. So far I have been collecting data, entering my mistakes, and logging my thoughts and reasoning at the time of attempt. I make sure to connect to the correct answer and fully understand it through explanation.
So I have this WAJ.. I keep adding to it, and writing in it. Now how do we actually use this journal for review?
Could ya'll please share how you engage with your WAJ and specifically how I could use mine effectively for study review.
I tried registering for the August 2026 LSAT and each time I go to the LSAC website I don't see any LSAT options sooner than October 2026, but on their website it confirms there is an August 2026 LSAT... anyone else having this issue?
I’ve been studying for months working on improving my score. My last 2 PT was 137 and I spent sometimes reviewing my weaknesses. I decided to take another PT today hoping for a 140 and I scored at a 121 I don’t understand how this happened I’m so confused.
Hi everyone!
I am planning on applying to law school in the 2028 cycle, but am trying to finish up my applications right now. I am located in Seoul and would love to connect with others with experience in the legal market/admissions process in Korea or people also going through the US JD application process from here. I’m also down to give any advice that I can, mostly on LSAT.
I am used to throwing a ton of tags in the drill feature to focus on a plethora of problem types I don't like doing. But for some reason, when I put in "Argument Part" and "Phenomenon-Hypothesis" it says there are no questions in my drill set as if I am asking for it to choose questions where both tags apply at the same time. Is there a way to make it so they apply separately?
In my opinion newer LSATs are getting more and more... "creative" with argument part questions, so I certainly want to work on them even though a lot of them are super easy.
