Hello everyone, I am really struggling and need some help/direction. I started studying in January and scored a 149 on my diagnostic, but it is May (almost June) and I am averaging 159. My goal is at minimum a 165, so I am nervous that I won't score high enough. I am getting -0 to -2 on LG (not my worry), but on LR I am averaging -8 and RC -9. I am in a rut, and I do not know what will help. I finished the content on 7Sage in mid-March, and I have been using PTs, the LSAT Trainer, and Loophole. My weaknesses in LR seems to be flaw, strengthening, and SA. For RC, I think it is the timing. Any resources or advice anyone can give? What should these next two months look like for me? Thank you in advance.

I took my first diagnostic exam cold turkey and scored a 137. It's been two days and I have not been able to stop obsessing over my low score. I'm planning on taking the LSAT next June, is it still possible for me to break into the 170s if I received a terrible diagnostic score? I feel so lost and helpless.

Hi guys,

Just looking for some advice about the first-time test taker score cancellation policy available on LSAC. Does it make sense to do this in all cases? I'm taking the June flex and wasn't planning on purchasing it (of course also hoping I'll only have to take the test once), but I saw some people talking about how it is necessary to get it. I'm aiming 160+ if that matters.

Thank you!

If you're taking the test anytime soon, I highly recommend attending this. Today at 8pm EST.

I'm currently registered for the June LSAT (first registration with preview), and since I'm an international, I cannot postpone to the August LSAT, as it is only for US. My PTs have been averaging around the mid 160s but I do want to aim higher. Based on what I know, the best time to apply to law schools is around October, and taking it on October means that I would be receiving my score on November. Would I be at a great disadvantage to be applying a bit later, i.e. November? Should I take the June and see how it goes and take it again on October? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I have almost done all of the practice tests from PT 19 to PT 88. Currently, I only have two tests fresh. However, I'm still not scoring at my target score. But I have registered for the June exam. I wonder whether I should take the two tests that I have left, or save them for August to evaluate my ability before the August test? And working more on retaking some of the practice tests that I have taken before. Any suggestions would be welcome.

Is there any extra advice you can give me on weakening questions? I have researched them numerous times, but on the last problem sets I feel like I have been completely guessing. One thing I have learned has been to find the assumption, and if you are told to weaken the argument then state that assumption; however, if you are to strengthen the argument, find that assumption and your answer will be the choice that states it and clarifies it so it is no longer an issue. Even with this advice, I still cannot seem to do it. Maybe I am struggling with finding the assumption? Or maybe whenever I read the questions I get overwhelmed? Regardless, weakening questions are destroying me right now and I feel helpless.

I have been studying following the core curriculum and am at about 70 hours. I am feeling overwhelmed trying to complete as much as the curriculum as possible. I feel like by the time I am halfway there, I am going to forget everything I learned at the very beginning. (It has taken me months!) If you have any suggestions on which sections to focus on, I would greatly appreciate it! For reference, I have issues with the timed aspect with RC and LR (anxiety) and logic games are my weakest. I took the LSAT in November and scored a 147 using Khan Academy only. Any advice helps!

I am in need of a study buddy. I am having an issue with Logic Games. I can do the level ones to level four in the tree ordering section. I can also do level one in the In Out section. The rest, I am having issues with. If some one can please help me out, I would be grateful. The rest of the test I'm fine with, it's the logic games that stump me.

I hate feeling alone and clueless, and that's exactly how I'm feeling as I'm reading (and believing) everything I'm reading online. I would love to have an online buddy to message/chat and bounce ideas off of. Just a little about me: I'm older than "my 20's". Law will be my 2nd career. I'm hoping to go into Biglaw - Corporate/IP maybe, Health or Healthcare Law maybe. Feeling vulnerable, but is anyone looking for the same/similar?

I feel like it's a good idea to do all 4 sections to help with stamina since the August will include the experimental section. I know I prefer doing PT's with 3 sections, but I curious as to what everyone is doing.

Hi all, looking to apply for Fall 2022 and looking for some sort of advice or maybe someone who's gone through something similar.

I've been studying for the LSAT for almooooost a year and I signed up for December 2020, April 2021 and decided to push my test to June coming up. My reasons for pushing the past two times was because I had not reached my goal score of 150. I met that goal in April but by April my new goal score was 155 so I pushed it until June. I'm currently at a 155 plateau and now my new goal score is 160. I'm considering pushing it until October. I feel a lot of guilt for pushing and so I can't decide whether or not to take it in June and then again in October. June would be my third time and October would make it my forth time. My reasoning for June is bad, it's the last flex and it's more curiosity and the fact that it's shorter.

I know this depends on the school and some of the schools that I am looking at take the highest score so technically taking it a fourth time with improvements wouldn't be an issue?

My schools are Drexel law, Temple law, Upenn law (reach), Rutgers, really they're all reach schools in my eyes because law school haha. Any advice? Thank you.

I have a 3.5 GPA and graduated with honors if that's any help. I know the other parts of my application are super important too.

Hi all! I'm currently working on reviewing my timed practice sections and am noticing that I am really bad at getting sucked into time sink questions.

I am working on a list of 'queues' for myself to identify when to skip without even thinking about it, as I often find myself questioning 'should I skip now?' during a section; I want to work on building the reflex so I instinctively know to skip & don't have to think about it.

Personally for me - I've noticed that the moment I'm not engaging/clicking with a stimulus is a great moment to skip (though I still seem to have trouble doing it lol). I have also noticed that I absolutely despise anything LR question with abstract concepts about 'morality, or truth' that require some serious thought to actually understand.

Other than that, I'm finding it a bit hard to pinpoint 'signs' that will tell me if it's a 4/5 star LR question to know when to skip.

I would love to hear about everyone else's skipping strategies as well as things you look out for that give you a queue to move on and come back!

Hopefully this could help others as well.

Wondering how all of you drilled valid and invalid argument forms. Wondering if I should make a quizlet, make myself a quiz? Wanted to know the most effective way and seek advice :) thanks so much

Hi guys, wanted some advice. I just did the curriculum for parallel flaw and nearly got all of them wrong. Does anyone have any tips for these questions and flaws in general? They are giving me a lot of trouble and wanted to know how you guys drilled them and found success.

will there be an update on the site to reflect the new testing format? 4 sections but the conversion of a flex or is that asking too much lol

Had a general question about overall LSAT strategy... I took the April LSAT flex for the first time and had tech glitches / proctor u problems that really created severe test anxiety for me (had to reschedule once, waited for hours on the day I actually had to take due to a tech glitch, proctor interrupted me etc). I got in the lower 160s (had been PTing 167 - 174)

In preparation for that test, I had done almost all of the PTs in the 60s - 80s starting with my studing in Jan 2021, and unfortunately feel like I had burned through the most recent PTs. To prepare for the June test, I've been doing PTs in the 50s which were totally new for me and redoing tests I had taken 5 - 6 months ago (so I've seen them, but its been awhile). I got a 177 on a test in the 50s that I had never done, and have been getting between 169 - 177 on the rest of the 7 tests I've taken post April Flex (although again, some I had done months ago and some were totally new tests to me).

I am still really anxious given I feel like I can take this 2-3 times at most for the T-14... am I better off waiting until I am consistently breaking 175? How will I know when I'm prepared given I still feel like I fluctuate? I was planning on applying to a junior year deferral program which is why I am aiming for June, but if I didn't do that I definitely want to work 1-2 years post grad (am entering my senior year). If I don't take the June test the earliest test I could take would be next fall (and will be working full time this summer so likely will take 3 months off). Am I better off taking a few months off so I forget the more recent PTs or is it dumb to lose my momentum and I should take the June test given where I'm at now (with the caveat that the higher scores are either on tests in the 50s or tests I'm redoing).

Hey guys, I'm PTing around 145-155s and I was inquiring on how to maximize using 7Sage for LR/LG in the amount of time from now to the testing date. Essentially, which sections should I really be hitting etc. My goal score is 160s with a DREAM score in 170+. I'm using Powerscore LG and LSAT Trainer when I'm not by my computer as well.

I signed up for June exam and have an accommodation for unstable internet. I am very worried about the WIFI issue since it stopped working for several minutes at my house once when I took my PT. But I am not sure if hotel will be a better choice since it will be a unfamiliar setting and may have some unforeseeable issue. Any suggestions about this WIFI thing or any recommendations for hotel or place in Boston or MA that will have stable internet for sure?

Many thanks in advance!

So I took a PT yesterday and I got the highest I ever got (a 166). I am very proud of myself but I didn't do as hot as I wanted on RC (7 wrong) and this is actually my best with an average of 8 on RC. I need someone to help me get my RC average down a little bit. Even untimed I can't dominate RC. Thanks! Hoping to pay in the range of $30-50 a session

I took a diagnostic on Khan Academy and scored a 160. I feel really good about how the curriculum has been going. Is it reasonable to think I could score 170+ by the August LSAT? I plan on studying 20-25/week until then.

I work FT but study before work and after work and PTs on the weekends.

Hi all,

I have a pretty specific question that I am not sure others will have a definitive answer for. During my Sophomore year of college I was studying on exchange in Hong Kong and due to the protests I was ultimately evacuated from the country with 72 hours notice. This left the remaining 6-8 weeks of the semester online with little to no preparation for the transition. Based on this they gave us the choice to go pass/fail instead of letter grades which I elected to do. I have heard that some admissions offices do not look fondly on pass/fail grades and I was wondering if this sounds like something worth writing an addendum for. Thank you in advance!

Hello everyone. i am looking to hire a LSAT tutor. My highest score is 155 on a PT and 151 on official LSAT. My end goal is 170. Please let me know if we can work together. I work full time and am available to meet virtually anytime after 6pm CST and during the weekends. thank you

Where can we go to see all the notes we have taken on videos?
