Hi all. If I am still wobbly at argument identification, should I continue on with the study plan or circle back to that part until I am consistently identifying argument structure. I struggle a lot with differentiating context and premises for some reason...

Hi everyone!

I’d like to put together a study group for those who have a hard time studying alone/would like an accountability partner.

If anyone is interested send me an email!

Two pieces of feedback on the study plan feature:

1. More control over individual tasks: I completed an LR section but the system didn't register it as done. It would be helpful to have the ability to manually check off a task when the system misses it. Along the same lines, it would be great to be able to skip specific tasks entirely. For example, I have a limited number of LR sections remaining and would prefer not to use them up on assigned tasks, or to be able to use sections that aren't 100% fresh (some of mine are 80-90% fresh).

2. Section targeting: It would be useful to adjust individual study blocks to target a specific section type more heavily. RC is my bigger weakness, so being able to shift the balance away from LR and toward RC within the plan would make it much more effective for me!

Hi all!

I'm preparing to take the September LSAT and am looking for some advice on the best tips & tricks to get myself ready. I've heard some not-so-great things about the environment at the in-person testing centers, so I was wondering if anyone had any advice about how to best set myself up for success. For instance, when I'm studying, should I be in complete silence (which would be ideal) or allow distractions (other people talking, not necessarily TikTok brain rot breaks!)?

Also, any tips about staying focused and increasing stamina would be greatly appreciated -- especially ones that could be recreated on test day!

Thank you!!

Can someone give me some good advice about building up my stamina more for the final section?

For more context, given that I had already had 2 RCs, I knew by the final section that the LR "counted" and can't help but thinking this was an emotional distraction. I think it over inflated the section, made me more stressed, and less focused. I am thinking that I'll spend the week doing timed sections and working on my mental prep before and during those. I'll be taking another PT on Saturday. Any other advice for working on stamina?

That was RIDICULOUS!!!!!! Holy crap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All sections were diabolical. I cannot stand the exams that are "harder" with a "gentler curve" because they destroy my mental and my ability to focus. I AM ACTUALLY DEVASTATED after doing that test. WHAT THE HELL WHY WAS IT SO EVIL???????????????????????????? what in the actual fuck was that like I'm sorry WHAT THE HELL????

Need to get confident in trusting my intuition more as the only misses came from reading far too deeply into the stimulus/answer choices, and switching out of the right answer last-minute!! It's frustrating knowing I had the right answers but talked myself out of them, and in retrospect they feel like pretty stupid mistakes, but I'm hoping to channel this as a lesson for the August LSAT :)

Hey everyone, I'm asking for advice from anyone who's been in my position and was able to get into the 170s consistently. I've been able to get a 170-171 twice on my PTs, but after that, I've just been getting 167-169. From my last PTs, it seems like RC has generally been dragging my score down but am not sure how to address it. Should I just do some untimed RC and read more?

Also, I don't know if it's because my sleep schedule is off or if I'm burnt out, but I've recently been crying a lot over this exam. I get really frustrated when I don't get a 170 or above and it ruins my day. I feel like this is a sign I should probably take some time off but am not sure.

Thanks!

For the most recent admission cycle, there are close to 9k applicants with a score above 170 according to LSAC's official data. Yet class sizes at T14 only add up to about 4.5k. Considering most T14s have 25th percentiles below 170, this means that less than 40% of the 170+ scorers end up attending a T14.

Maybe a low GPA could account for some, but I find it hard to belief that 60% of 170+ scorers have a GPA so low that it raises a red flag. Moreover, I feel like most who score above a 170 should be competent enough to not bomb the soft factors too badly.

What are people's thoughts on this? Is it just that 173 or maybe even 175 is now the new 170, or have I overlooked some common pitfalls?

I've been writing explanations/tips for wrong answers in the notes of corresponding questions, and I'm now trying to compile them. Is there a page on 7Sage to conveniently access all the notes I've written?

hi all,

i'm an international applicant with a bachelor's and a master's in law completed on two different continents, and i'd love some guidance on how the process works for people in situations like mine, plus a chance to connect with others navigating something similar.

i'm mainly trying to understand how transcript evaluation works when your academic record doesn't come from a single, familiar system. i know LSAC does its own foreign credential evaluation, but i'm curious whether its somewhat of a disqualifying factor to have prior education outside the US, especially when the original grading system (percentages, first-class/second-class honours, etc.) doesn't translate neatly into a GPA. on a related note, i'd love to hear how others have helped admissions committees actually understand their record when the numbers alone don't tell the full story.

i'm also trying to figure out how to frame my story well, since i already have both a bachelor's and a master's in law. if you've been in a similar position, i'd love to know how you approached the "why more law school" narrative in your personal statement or addenda, so it reads as purposeful rather than repetitive.

and practically speaking, for anyone who's had to coordinate document authentication across two countries, i'd really appreciate knowing how early you started relative to your deadlines. trying to avoid any last-minute scrambling.

beyond the practical questions, i'd genuinely love to connect with others on a similar path, people with law degrees from more than one jurisdiction, working through LSAC's international process. if that's you, feel free to comment or send a message. it would be wonderful to compare notes and maybe build a small, supportive group as we all figure this out together.

thanks so much in advance for any insight!

Hi everyone,

I have been struggling with RC for quite a while and I was wondering if everyone could please comment some tips that they wish they knew when they were struggling or some other general information that helped them.

Thank you soo much!

Hello, recently when an RC question stem refences text directly in the stimulus, it no longer appears highlighted in blue within the actual passage.

I was wondering if this is intended, and will appear this way during test day, or if it is a glitch on my end.

Thank you!

Unfortunately, I had an awful undergraduate experience due to mental health issues. At the time, I was going to college without any medication. Now, I’ve tried 14 different medications and this doesn’t even include dose adjustments. I’ve been diagnosed with several disorders, yet I’ve worked continuously for six years. During that time, I was sometimes juggling three jobs at once. I just graduated, and I’m still working while studying. It feels like law school and internships are impossible under these circumstances.

Years ago I told myself I need to be the first applicant in the pile and it was a certain school or bust. lol Time has been the greatest gift, yet here we are, a day before Sept LSAT reg closes and still unsure if I'll wait ANOTHER cycle. A year goes by so fast, but where did the time go!? My current plan is to take Oct now (maybe 2 months will give me the motivation I need, but will I ever feel ready?) and if the score isn't my goal or higher I will wait a year, and plan to take an April LSAT so I don't have to freak out for an entire cycle again. Hopefully by then LSAC won't rewrite the entire exam/have more interface updates LOL Sigh, law school, the biggest decision in a new chapter...but at least another year (depending) I don't have to take an exam, ha! That's my rant.

Good luck to everyone starting to feel the 2026 cycle ebbs and flows.

do you guys listen to music when studying? whether it's during a section, a drill, or just reviewing. i usually study with music for classes so feels weird turning it off for lsat prep, as im trying my best to recreate real test conditions.

Hello all,

Ive been studying for the LSAT for around 6 months and am taking the August LSAT and Nov/Dec LSATs. Im testing in the high 150's with high 160's BR and am looking for some people to study with. Maybe we meet twice a week and go over questions etc. Up for anything.

I've been studying for the LSAT for 15 months. My average score hasn't improved in 13 months. I'm in the low to mid 160s. I've tried the AI coach. I wouldn't recommend it. I've tried tutors. They're helpful, yet expensive. And my plateau was still hard as a rock before my April test, which was in the mid 160s. For that, I'm grateful.

For a while, my logical reasoning was awesome. I'd finish timed sections perfect this winter and spring on multiple occasions. Now, I'm lucky if I'm not guessing on around half of the questions. My RC performance has been volatile. On a recent practice test, I went 26/27 on a section. But my average shows that I miss around 10 questions per section on average. On a one-star passage today, I just went four of seven. It was a trainwreck. On some timed recent RC sections, I went 8/27 and 9/27. I'd gladly admit this isn't for me. But I keep hearing that all I need to do is keep working at it and I'll eventually get into the 170s.

My question is: How? I study regularly for hours every day. I do practice tests regularly. I diligently review the answers that I get wrong. I even get them right in subsequent drills for all the right reasons. And yet my performance has nosedived. On a recent test, I scored a 146. And I've spent about 15 grand doing this. This just feels hopeless.

Experimental was soooo tough lol...

Taking the August administration after a disappointing score in June. Lets do this guys!!

I've been studying for the LSAT almost every day since March, and I'm honestly feeling really discouraged.

This will be my third attempt. Earlier in my prep I was consistently scoring in the high 150s to low 160s, so I felt like I was finally moving in the right direction. But my most recent practice test dropped back into the low 150s, and it feels like all the progress I thought I had made has disappeared.

I'm doing Blind Review, reviewing my mistakes, and trying to stay consistent, but it's getting harder to trust the process when the scores are moving backward instead of forward.

I'm currently planning to take the October LSAT, but right now I'm questioning everything about my approach.

Has anyone else gone through something similar? If your scores plateaued or even dropped after months of studying, what changes actually helped? Did you switch study methods, slow down, take a break, focus on one section, or do something completely different?

I'd really appreciate hearing from people who were in a similar position and eventually broke through.

i need to take a couple months off, but i don't want to lose access to my analytics. is there a way to pause my subscription for ~3 months, or do i need to cancel?

I have been studying for the LSAT for 3 months now but I still feel myself struggling with/dreading the review process. Does anyone have any tips on how to become more consistent with review or steps that you take to make sure your review is actually helping? Thank you!

Hi! I am about two months into studying and am looking for an individual tutor. I have not improved in the way I have wanted to and need some redirection.

Does anyone know of a good online tutor? My budget is around $100 an hour.

Hello, everyone! I am seeking answers from people who've written the LSAT online from home, due to any circumstances. Because of my circumstances, I am writing from home, and I have questions.

1. How do they monitor your scratch paper to ensure it's blank before you start?

2. What did you do during the ten minute break? I saw on the website you can leave and eat, use the washroom, stretch, etc. I am going to attempt to use the break to prevent my eyes from becoming strained from blue light, but what did you do?

3. If you had upstairs neighbours (hello from Canada by the way), since you couldn;t wear earplugs, what did you do? I have asked my roommates to leave, and we aren't running the appliances for the exam.

4. If you had a pet, what did you do? This one worries me. I have a cat who, if in my room, will jump on my computer. If not, she will meow at the door, and it's distracting. Can't get someone to take her for the day, either.

5. Any other advice or tips?

Thank you!

I’m trying to save questions I got wrong during drills. I’ve clicked the little bookmark icon but it isn’t saving them under the “Saved” section in Drills. Anyone know how to get them to save there?
