anybody in South Orange County want to start an in person study group ??? I will be studying on the weekends and taking the June LSAT LMK! :)

I just got my scores back for the February LSAT and got a 156. Honestly, better than anticipated as most of my PT's were in the 154's. My goal is to wait a cycle and then take the test in June and August. What is the best path to a 170+?

i'm getting pretty distressed because it seems like the more studying/practice i do, the more questions i get wrong. i got a great score on my first practice test, but i was right up against the timer on each section, and it felt like i was wasting time doubting my answers. since then i've been trying to be more confident in my answers and move more quickly, but then i keep falling for trap answers. my second practice test was abysmal even though i felt like i did great. now my confidence is shot and i'm spending an inordinate amount of time on each question. does anyone else have this same experience and have any advice on the confidence/time management tradeoff?

LSAT HELP! Limited Progress

Hello everyone, I've been studying for the LSAT for about a year now and I am still struggling. I thought I would make this post to get some much-needed help from the 7Sage Community . I will do my best below to outline my struggles. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Background: I have had limited progress in the year. I took a diagnostic at 1:49 since then I have been only doing time sections and untimed sections. I have averaged about 15/26 correct but have gotten as high as 19/26

The issues

1. Timing: this has been one of the biggest issues with me when I do sections or questions untimed I get them right. Then when I do time sections, I make a little mistakes on easy questions usually, like question two or seven something like that usually 1 to 3 star questions.

And I know that I'm doing something different on drills versus when I'm doing timed sections, but I don't know exactly how to replicate this in my timed work

2. Diagnosis: I'm not exactly sure how to diagnose my own issues so what I've been doing is when I take a time to section any question that I miss what I do is for the next week I'll focus on that question this week was NA questions, and I really go through them slow, but I don't know a specific plan or specific set of actions to get better at the questions that I'm missing.

3. The stimulus: usually I do a pretty good job of understanding the stimulus when there's an argument, present understanding the gap and the reasoning, but then I get into the answer choices, and I struggle in the answer choices, especially with vague language and understanding what they say.

I'm just going all out here asking for your help everyone. I already put off going to law school for one year and I don't want to do it again. I have received much help from people on here and I greatly appreciate it.. I'm not opposed to getting a tutor and I'm wondering maybe if that's what it's gonna come down to., but also scared that what if I pay for a tutor and don't end up improving anyway. What has worked for everyone ? Like what are some specific things that I can do specific drills practices stuff like that because often I've gotten an advice before from people that seems to be very general like while you just need to keep practicing. I'm at a point where I think I've practiced a lot and I'm just feel like I'm spinning my circles.

Thank you everyone in advance for reading the long post. Also feel free to inbox me. I have posted on here before, and I lucked out and found a tutor or somebody with the same experience as me., that had some really valuable insight !!! Help please

Is there a correlation between focusing too much on perfection, best score, fully locking in and performing poorly. Does this correlation actually lead to that causation Lol. Does our brains performance genuinely get hampered when we are focusing too much on getting the best results? Is it subconscious? How to avoid it? Or if anyone has experienced a similar thing and overcame it? Any insights or discussion would be appreciated it.

For the argumentative writing section, should I be drawing from outside sources? I did one of the practice ones on LSAC and I didn't think the instruction was clear enough. And am I to argue from one of the positions that LSAC gives samples of in response to the prompt? I know everyone says its akin to a "are you a human" test but I don't want to screw up on something easy like this for some technical or simple reason.

For example with RC I want to make the passages more difficult (it is giving me like difficulty 3 and below). How do I change that?

I have been going through the core curriculum, taking extensive notes, and drilling. For a couple of weeks, I have not seen much meaningful progress. Are there any indicators that I am indeed progressing? Do I need to spend time on the grammar section if I am not tripped up by the grammar, but rather by the tricks the questions are throwing my way?

So far have taken one PT before even knowing what the exam would look like, and scored a 149. I’ve been studying for about 1-2 hours a day for the past two weeks like a chicken without a head- no direction just watching the core curriculum videos and taking notes in a split screen. When drilling, the types of questions i answer correctly and incorrectly fluctuate, and there isnt really a pattern of any sorts.

I’m seeking any advice people found helpful from others, or something that people wish they knew when they started studying. Scrolling through these messages, Ive seen a ton of others get tremendously helpful advice- anything and everything is appreciated. Thank you all and best of luck on your Law School endeavors!

I just scored a 155 on PT123 (BR 164). I am aiming for 170+ by June.

I've been studying everyday for 3-6 hours since June 2025 (did the whole curriculum, read the loophole, blind reviewed a ton and do drills every day) and I just feel so discouraged. I really thought that I improved and understood the concepts better, but under timed conditions I just keep messing up. i suspect that S3 and S4 were worse due to fatigue and lack of concentration, but I'm still sad that I missed still missed so many.

Any advice?

hello,

I took the diagnostic test, but I realized that I couldn't understand the passage.. What can I do to understand/comprehend?

Hi all, does anyone in Toronto want to partner up to study together virtually? I will be taking the June 2026 lsat. Or are there any study groups I can join?

If I get -1, or -0 frequently on old LR sections that i have taken a month or 2 ago. Is that a good sign?

For those that have made the leap from 154 to 170, how and what did you do, should I begin to drill only level 4s and 5s and then PT twice a week?

If possible, please add a video for Principle Fast Track Questions. It would help so much!!!

Anyone go to UCF and wanna study?

DO YOU THINK I NEED TO RETAKE MY EXAM? I GOT LOW 150’S. I WORK FULL TIME AND STUDIED FOR ABOUT 6 WEEKS. I KNOW I CAN DO BETTER BY JUNE. I WAS REJECTED BY ONE SCHOOL BECAUSE I TRIED EARLY DECISION. I CAN WAIT AND SEE WHAT THE OTHER SCHOOLS DECIDE. I HAVE A UNIQUE AREA OF INTEREST AND MY PERSONAL STATEMENT HOPEFULLY EXPRESSES THAT. I WILL KEEP ATTENDING WEDNESDAY ADMISSIONS CLASSES. ANY TIPS OR ADVICE FOR ME?

hello

please tell me how is windsor uni ‘s single JD?

I got an offer letter…

thank you

Took the February LSAT and got a 155. I'm pretty disappointed by that. My diagnostic test in December was a 152, and I took 7 more practice tests, and each time I did better than the time before, with one exception. eventually i got a 160 and my highest was a 163, which was my second to last practice test before the LSAT. Then my last pt was the worst I ever did. I got a 151, worse than my diagnostic test!

It just feels bad that I "crashed" like that. Each time I started a pt, I was very scared to start it because I was afraid of doing worse on it than the ones before but then it became real. When I first started studying i told myself no pressure and that I would be happy with any score as long as it would get me into any law school, even without a scholarship. That's what I was suggested by a couple of lawyers. But once I started doing better, I started getting competitive and greedy and wanting to go to more prestigious schools and I was comparing myself to my tutor, who got a 180. I've never done particularly well in school. I also have adhd and was always a 60s, 70s, 80s student, but my tutor said he was like me and got a 180 and went to NYU.

I am registered to take the lsat again in April but now I'm more scared to study for this test than I was before because now the expectations are higher. Im also going crazy because I'm not working now and I'm all by myself and in my head like a hermit. Any tips for studying and not feeling so meh about myself?

Hi team, I'm feeling a little discouraged after receiving my score for the February LSAT. I've been studying since mid-october and took the february LSAT in which I received a 149 score. I expected to break the 150s at least, and didn't. The score I need to apply to the law schools I want is a 163-165. Is it possible to increase that much by June LSAT? Please let me know and maybe even give tips? I am feeling discouraged and stressed especially since I left this exam thinking I did good.

Hi everyone,

I’m currently studying for the April/June exams and was wondering if anyone would be interested in forming a study group in Seoul or online. The goal would be to discuss difficult questions, improve accuracy, and keep each other accountable. If you’re interested, please feel free to send me a message. Thanks!

Hi All! I am taking the lsat in June and working through my study plan right now. I have fallen very far behind on the study plan timeline and working my butt off to get caught back up. Does anyone have a similar experience/any insight? I have saved weekends for getting caught too but I find myself extremely distracted on the weekends. Any advice/words of encouragement are welcome!

Additionally, I am an undergrad student in norcal... anyone looking for a study buddy?

Hi all!

I'm studying part time and could use support and motivation. I've been studying for the last few months, mostly doing CC. I'm feeling a little stuck around 162 and am aiming for a 173. If anyone is in the area and has the similar ambitions, please feel free to reach out and we can make a What's app GC!

Good luck studying!

I managed 80% drill accuracy in LR Link Assumption tags at 3 and 4 star difficulty.

Not bragging. Very proud moment because this is one of my weaker areas.

I did it while feeding my newborn daughter haha.

Where the dads at in here!?

I withdrew from a writing and film analysis elective class because I would not have gotten a good grade and it would have impacted my GPA. My entire transcript has all As (my school does not do A+ grades) besides 2 A- and 1 B so my GPA is still very high (all none A grades came from electives, major and minor GPA is 4.0). I did not have a reason for withdrawing besides the fact that the class was a film analysis class and I randomly signed up for it with no interest in film analysis (bad action on my part, yes I know) and I would have gotten a B at best, likely lower. I didn't want to take the GPA hit because even with the 2 A- and 1 B my GPA is still competitive. Was withdrawing a bad idea? Do I need to have an adendum for the class I withdrew from?

I am first gen so I don't know any of the application process nuances so any opinions are appreciated! Thank you!

I know the key difference is that conditionals are always true (they are a rule), while causation is weaker. Does this mean that if you see language like "if A then probably B", it is causal? In general, what are causal indicators and tips+tricks to recognizing causal logic that looks like conditional logic?
