i think it would be helpful if i could highlight any text or question during lessons, and there is an option to where i can do more drills like this.

i am finding that as i am doing lessons, i am wanting to test myself more about what i am learning. i wish there was a way i could highlight the exact type of question and then see an option to "practice more like this".

🙃 Confused

LSAT Resume

Hi, just curious, I have a school asking for a Statement of Purpose, which is different from a Personal Statement, right? The wording is different, so I just wanted to be sure they are both two different types of statements. Thanks!

HI! I'm taking the exam in February, so I'm trying to get ready with regular PTs. People have mentioned exam-day routines and warm-ups. Can anyone share what they do to get ready for an exam/PT and what, if any, warm up questions or drills you do? Thank you sm!!

Hey y'all, I finished sitting my LSAT today, I think I did well, but I found that time was taken away from me because the proctor was speaking loudly inside the testing room.

The official time to begin was 8am, but we were allowed a staggered start, so those who came in at 7.30am were allowed to start at 7.30am, and I believe someone people were allowed to come in later too after 8am. So there was people coming in during the time I was completing the first two sections. The proctor was bringing people into the room and talking to them in her normal speaking voice (not whispering) and providing instructions. I could hear her through my noise cancelling earmuffs provided by the centre.

I had to re-read a few stims 2 or 3 times because her speaking loudly interfered with my thinking process, so I lost time that way. I still managed to finish and complete all the questions, but I dont think she should have been talking loudly like that at all - also the staggered entry was weird too, is that how its normally done at testing centres? During the 10 min break, I went to the ladies at reception and asked them to advice the proctor to use her inside voice or whisper, and they said she will. But she was just as loud and interruptive for the last 3 sections as she was for the first two.

If all of the above is normal of testing centres I would have just taken the test at home.

Hey guys, I took my first LSAT yesterday and I feel like I genuinely flunked so bad. I've been scoring consistent 160s in PTs with my highest being 171, but my brain felt soo slow taking the real test and I know I didn't do so good. I worked really hard to manage my anxiety going into the test but I still just felt stressed and slow. I'm taking the LSAT again in Feb and I'm wondering what are some ways I can practice doing the test under stress? Maybe like try and convince myself each practice is the real thing? Have someone there yelling at me stressing me out? Idk but I need to be better otherwise I'm definitely flunking Feb too, let me know if you guys experienced this and if anything helped

Has anyone taken the LSAT at a Prometric testing center in the NYC area, specifically the Manhattan or Brooklyn locations?

I’m curious about what the testing experience was like. I’m very sensitive to background noise, and I’ve heard that people may be entering and leaving the testing room throughout the exam, with proctors also speaking to other test-takers inside the room. Was that your experience?

I’d really appreciate any insight. I'm taking the LSAT in February and just thinking about either in-person or remote testing.

If I have a couple of LSATs on file, and I believe the new one I took was a significant dip, is it worth buying Score Preview? Like I have a pretty big trend increase to 160-high, but I think this January test went horribly. I can see myself going down from a 160-high to a 160 flat. Does buying the score preview and canceling it make sense? I only took the test in January because I felt I could do a 3-5 point jump and break into a mid 170s.

Basically laptop died because although it was plugged into the charger I didn’t realize the power outlet I was using was defective(it randomly stopped working).

I have 3 options if my complaint is approved

1)don’t cancel score+preview(I was in section 4 question 10 when it shut down so I would be missing a lot of points, however there is a good chance it was an experimental section. My performance on the other sections was mid, I don’t expect a score higher than 156-158 if it was experimental. Obviously much lower if it wasn’t)

2)Retest on Jan 21. This is probably the worst option because instead of getting my results late Jan I would probably get them mid Feb which would be very late for law schools apps.

3)Pick any available test date. I think this might be the best option. I can pick a later date, have lots of time to improve my score, and apply next cycle.

Thoughts?

Hey everyone, I just got my first admissions response and I'm a bit confused. I applied to Wake Forest with a 4.0 and a 170. I think my softs are pretty alright as well. I did a teaching assistant position in a program managed by Fulbright Austria, I interned with the U.S. Congress and the Brookings Institution. And I currently work a full time job at a community college helping student navigate our higher ed system.

I got my first admissions decision - waitlisted a Wake Forst (LSAT Median 166, GPA 3.8). I'm a bit concerned about my application prospects now. I'm wondering 1) if this is because the high amount of applicants? 2) if perhaps my application is magically much weaker than I thought? Or 3) if this is yield protection.

Does anyone have any insight or thoughts. Thanks in advance.

TLDR - I got waitlisted at Wake Forest, a school that should have been a decent safety. What's going on?

Hi everyone! I just started studying in December and planning to take the June LSAT. I started utilizing the study plan 7Sage came up for me, but now I am worried that once I go through the theory of LR and RC that I won't have enough time for PTs and drills. What study plan does everyone use (ex: comprehensive, balanced, etc.) and how do you recommend splitting up your time?

Hi everyone, my timed scores currently are in the low150s and my blind review scores are in the mid160s. I started preparing in the summer of 2025 and gave the October attempt and scored in the low150s. I started studying again in mid-November and plan to give the June LSAT. I keep revisiting fundamentals, have a detailed WAJ. I am eager to move into the 170s and willing to put in the work. I am unsure how to design the best study schedule to target the issues I am facing (listed below). For example: at this stage, how should I split time between timed and untimed practice? I would appreciate any guidance on how to move forward. Thank you so much!

Major Issues:

  • Exporting my learnings from previous questions into new ones instead of treating each questions as its own universe;

  • Struggling to develop the attitude of a skeptic as well because I am unsure if I have a complete handle on the question;

  • Develop a different way of approaching the questions by moving away from my prephrase;

  • Struggling with engaging with answer choices and test each against the stim (especially for harder questions).

Which sections of the core curriculum are associated with conditional reasoning? I have it as my highest priority but I'm not sure which lessons correspond. Or is it all of them?

I know I’m not the only one! This feels like a table stakes feature that’s missing. Competitor apps default to dark mode and it’s so much easier on the eyes. I know it’s currently an experimental feature, but I’d love to see this prioritized. There’s no reason for the diagram PNGs to be completely illegible on dark mode.

I am currently working toward the April LSAT, just couldn't make the February one. Looking for some people in Atlanta who might want to pair up and work together as we go through this. I don't mind simply chatting online as well but looking for someone on a similar timeline who might be able to keep me accountable and help the journey. Currently, I am working on the Argument Parts of the curriculum, so almost done with Logic, but man I still struggle with these questions at times so could use a buddy or several I can bounce ideas off of. Just let me know if you're interested and where you're at in the journey!

Thanks and have a great day!

I've been studying LSAT since November and I'm still trying to figure out how to manage time during practice tests. Everytime, I take PT or drills, I use up all my time and end with 5 to 6 questions untouched, 2 for drills, and because I'm so stressed with time, my accuracy falls and I get like 60% of the questions I answered right. Should I first focus on accuracy and then practice to solve questions quick or should I do what I do now since I can go over all questions in blind review and work on accuracy? I'd like to hear other people's thought and experience on how you study and practice.
