Hey everyone!

I am reapplying to law school this cycle, and I am planning on editing my application materials from last year, but first I want a review of them to let me know whether I went wrong or what major things need to be fixed. I cannot afford hundreds of dollars for someone to review my application materials at the moment, but I would love any recommendations for affordable ways to do this! Thanks!

Hi everyone! I need some advice on what to do so please bare with me if this is all over the place.

So basically, I took the August LSAT and came out with a 151. Honestly I'm not sure what happened but I was devastated. I took a PT this past saturday after not studying since the exam and scored a 159/BR 170; which is similar to what I was testing before.

I was hoping to get around 165 and apply this cycle. I am registered for the September exam and October. I've been working full time, but starting to take some more time off now to study and hopefully raise my score.

So my questions are:

1. Do I cancel my august score?

2. Do I even bother taking the September exam? Or should I cancel August, take Sept. and also take October?

3. Or keep August, take September, and October? i feel like that would look bad?

4. How can i bridge the gap between my score and BR?? That gap is driving me crazy. Sometimes I think I rush through the prompts/ACs but I ran out of time on two of the LR sections in August so I'm not sure if that's the case or if i was just super nervous.

Sorry and thank you in advance!

Overall my reading comp ability is solid, where i find I get tripped up is holding multiple opinions in my head at once. The trick questions that rely on you getting confused always get me. Any advice?

Its so hard to speak to other people especially when other LSAT prep companies have discords for students to speak to each other, I was wondering if this is achievable and possible here?

Hi! So sorry if this has already been asked or if I am jumping the gun here. Does anyone know when the application requirements are going to be updated for each school? I am assuming in the next week or so, but just curious. Thank you!

Hey y’all! Long story short I took the LSAT two times during my senior year of college. The first time scoring a 149 and the second time scoring a 152. I was also a late applicant applying February 1st last year and didn’t have much luck. I know my LSAT scores are not great and I applied very late last year which had a big effect most likely on my outcomes.

I am retaking the LSAT this November after taking a long break to study. I have a 3.8 GPA and I plan on applying for in this cycle by December 1st. My biggest worry is that if my November LSAT score isn’t a major improvement then applying in December will once again, give me the same outcomes as last year because I feel like December is late in the application cycle compared to a lot of people I know who are applying in October.

With a 3.8 GPA and a good amount of work experience from internships at law firms and police departments throughout undergrad, and my gap year this year, working in the corporate world, do we think December will still give me a good chance even if I don’t see a major improvement in my LSAT?

Hi everyone! I'm looking for a tutor for the November test, I'm currently scoring around the 163 to 165 range, and I want to break into the 170s in time for November. I'm going to be going to grad school in London, so I would need a tutor who can accommodate that. I mostly need help with my LR, and I think most of my foundational concepts are pretty strong, I'm just trying to improve under official timing conditions and break through my plateau. Please reach out if you think we would be a good fit!

Hey everyone! Really glad to join the community. I’ve been self-studying for the LSAT since July, and after recently discovering the 7Sage podcast, I knew I needed to dive into the forums—my only regret is not finding this place sooner!

Right now, I’m scoring in the low-to-mid 160s on practice tests and am looking forward to using 7Sage to push into the 170s.

Are there any other non-traditional students here balancing LSAT prep with a full-time job?

Excited to learn alongside everyone here. Happy studying!

Hey guys, I have been doing my study plan and have gotten through most of it, but I do not feel like the lessons are teaching me much because when I take the test, and I am under a timer, I do not remember or apply any of the lessons. Does anyone else have a hard time applying the lessons to a timed test? And I have been thinking about just doing daily drills and practice tests from now on, any suggestions on that?

Feels like most posts/info are US based and also feels like most people end up taking the LSAT multiple times and only happy if they are scoring 170-180.

Am I totally naive in being hopeful that a score of 160-165 has a chance over here in Canada?

Taking the exam for the first time in Sept, studying around life and kids, and somedays it feels like there’s no chance of pulling this off

I do well on LR videos and drills when the stimulus is read aloud, and I can usually pause and answer correctly before the explanation. But I’m struggling to replicate that performance on practice tests. I think I understand stimuli better when I hear them than when I read silently, and I often need to reread them. Does anyone have advice for improving silent comprehension and processing stimuli efficiently under timed conditions?

Hi! I am currently looking for a tutor as my self studying is a slow progression. I have recently broke into the low 160s in PT, but still dealing with dips in scores here and there. I am hoping to take October LSAT and am set to take September (given I don't withdraw). Took the August LSAT and was 12 points below my most recent PT. My goal score is 165-170, would love any advice or tutor references!

Hello! I am looking for a tutor that can meet starting this week. I took the August LSAT and scored a 155 which is about 5 points below my average while taking practice tests. I am registered for the October LSAT and really hoping to get into the high 160's. I struggle with finishing sections and scoring consistently. For reading comprehension, I am usually only able to complete three passages and for logical reasoning tend to not be able to answer 3-4 questions. I realize that when I answer individual timed sections, I tend to do well, but I struggle with translating that into a practice exam.

I would like to meet with someone who can not just provide explanations for wrong answers but help me identify patterns in the mistakes I am making that are leading to incorrect answers and work on foundational concepts with me. I would also like to have someone who can help me develop a study plan.

For some background, I am working full-time as a paralegal. I am in the EDT time zone, so I am hoping I can meet with someone after 5:30 p.m. My range is about $30–$55 per hour for a tutor. Please let me know if you are available. Thanks!

Hey everybody! im planning on applying to schools in ontario and dalhousie. Just wondering if the information on 7sage's admissions page is upto date for canadian schools?

additionally, my GPA converts to a 3.5 on SAC, but i know a lot of schools dont consider all 4 years of undergrad or give higher weightage to last two years etc. My GPA improved significantly after my first year of uni, but my first year grades and a failed summer course bring my GPA down significantly, so i was just wondering how much that affects my ability to get into schools in ontario/dal?

Hi everyone. I am late to the game and I have done a lot of research and to my knowledge, you are encouraged to apply early in the game but I am set to take the LSAT in January. If any of you guys have any tips or tricks. I would greatly appreciate it. I also think this post would be nice to connect with study buddies for the lsat prep. I am excited and anxious at the same time for this journey, as I am the first in my whole family tree to attempt this and I could not be more determined to pave the way for not only my family but for other students as well.

Good afternoon everyone. I wanted to come on here and seek general advice and feedback from anyone who’s been struggling to score in the 140s on practice tests. I study almost every day, review my wrong answers, and maintain a journal of incorrect answers. I’ve noticed that I either second-guess myself or completely miss the problem. However, this tends to happen only on difficulty four and five questions in certain sections. Additionally, I find that I get the last six or seven questions wrong. I’m curious to know how I can improve this habit. Thank you for everyone’s time. I’m looking forward to your advice.

As a visual learner, what are some tips you guys have done to improve your score in practice and during timed sessions?

Ive been recently seeing people scoring lower than their PT scores, is there any advice or help for something like this? I understand there is test anxiety but other than that what could be the issue. Also, what are the biggest jumps to do from a 154 pt hump.

Hey everyone! I’m Mia — I recently graduated undergrad and moved to D.C. in June for work. I’m studying for the LSAT (planning to take it in November) and was wondering if anyone else is studying and would want to meet up at a café or library to study together every so often! Would also love to make some new friends post-grad :)

Hi everyone!

I just got my august lsat score back (152). Some background: This was my 3rd attempt. 1st attempt was a 142 and 2nd was a 145 so not a bad jump but not entirely satisfied. I have a 3.28 LSAC GPA, 3.78 Masters GPA, 5 years experience as a senior paralegal, strong LORs from a grad professor, a shareholder, and senior associate that are my direct bosses. I graduated undergrad about 4ish years ago so im nontraditional. Im the main breadwinner of my family, have 3 kids.

Im on the fence of going into a 4th attempt and hoping to get into the high 150's low 160's by November so i can apply for this coming cycle or just apply with my 152. Im based in Florida and am looking to get into a part time program as i cant really afford to quit my job. I'm looking at Barry, Nova, Stetson, and FIU's part time programs, with FIU and Stetson being my top choices but im open to whoever accepts me tbh.

Could my other soft factors (masters gpa, work experience, strong LORs, non traditional) possibly make up for my numbers? or is this a reach and i should put in 120% into studying again and retest in November? any advice is welcome! TIA!

Hey everyone! 👋 I'm taking the October LSAT and I'm looking to put together a small study group for the final push. I'm PTing in the 170s and my goal is 175+. I'd love to connect with others aiming for a similar range so we can keep each other accountable and learn from one another.

If anyone is in the Chicago Hyde Park area, I'd love to meet up at the UChicago Library (or a nearby coffee shop) to study together!

Here is what I'm thinking for a typical session:

• Independent PTs: We take our practice tests on our own time.

• Collaborative Review: We meet up to go over missed or flagged questions. I think explaining concepts to each other in different ways is one of the best ways to learn!

• Targeted Drills: We do some focused drills to address those problem areas and talk through our strategies.

Let me know if you'd be interested in joining or if you have any other ideas for how to structure it. Let's crush this test!

Hello tutors. I am looking for a tutor who believes they are particularly good at Causal Reasoning. In my last practice test(156), of the 11 questions I got wrong between the two LRs, 7 of them were Causal Reasoning questions(S2. Q6,Q14,Q16,Q20,Q22,Q24 | S4.Q18), I think by locking this question type down I have a genuine shot of breaking into the 170s.

Actually, adding this part in after I wrote the first iteration of this post but for S2 of PT156, 6/7 questions I got wrong were Causal Reasoning. And for PT155, of the 8 questions I got wrong between the 2 LRs sections, 3 of them were Causal Reasoning.

I am looking to have 2 sessions between now and September 10th.

My price range tops off at $65/hr but I really prefer to pay around $40/hr.

DM me if interested!

Anyone have any stamina tips for this test. It's unlike any other... I'm not normally a bad test taker (90th percentile on JD Next, near perfect ACP and CEDS score, set most curves in a masters in litigation/dispute resolution degree). I can perfect or near perfect score my first section, and then lose 10 in the very next one. My brain is like an 8 year old cell phone battery, full charge for like 30 mins and then down to zero in 30 seconds. (Note: this could very well be TBI and BVD related because my working memory is so trash without the ability to compensate in other ways). So any advice, from any angle, on the endurance aspect of this test is greatly appreciated. I feel comfortable with the logic. Have taken this test multiple times and always crash harder than any practice section would indicate.

Side note: I'm a working mom in high stakes business litigation, so drilling a bunch full length exams is sooooo unrealistic (tried it last time with no improvement) because if I cant do it when my brain is "good battery" its not even worth it. Maybe it's how boring the test is? Because I bill like 200-250 hours a month and do fine managing cases. But maybe that's exactly why fitting test prep into my margins is so brutal? LSAT prep never hits at my peak.

I screwed up my Aug LSAT and registered for the Nov one. I’m planning on drilling/practicing and getting some tutoring, but am worried about submitting my application in December after scores come out. I haven’t started writing or anything yet, but I’m going to be both studying/writing for the next 2-3 months. Is a December submission too late??

I’m currently scoring in the 150s on timed PTs, although I tend to perform considerably better when working through individual drills. I mention that just to give an honest picture of where I am in my studying.

I’ve been preparing on my own for a long time, and I keep hearing that having a study partner can be one of the best ways to improve. The last LA-area study group post I found was pretty old, and I’m guessing some of those people may have already taken the test—or might even be in law school by now—so I thought I’d start a new one.

I’d love to find someone who wants to benefit from our respective strengths and weaknesses. I stink at conditional logic and accurately mapping parallel questions. I struggle the least with Reading Comprehension.

I’m located in the Los Angeles/San Fernando Valley area. If you’re interested, please feel free to reach out!
