Timeline Confusion

Hi everyone!

I am planning on applying for law school this upcoming fall, so fall of 2026 with the hopes of starting law school in 2027. When do you think I should aim to take my first lsat? I began studying in December, my diagnostic was a 160 and I am aiming for around a 168! I have heard a lot of mixed reviews about taking in in April vs. June, with some saying April is too early to take one, but others saying June is too late for a first attempt. Any advice anyone has on this would be super helpful :)

Salam, just wondering if anyone from the Muslim community in the DMV (preferably NOVA) would be interested in meeting in-person or over Zoom! Would be great to have the support esp as Ramadan and admission decisions approach us :)

DFW Study Group?

Hello all, I am trying to find or create a study group here in Dallas. I am North of Dallas in the prosper area looking for a study buddy or buddies to meet once a week or so to review topics, or ask questions about where having issues and tips we can share with each other. I have a car and willing to travel in the DFW area. I have my first take in April, but anyone is welcome. Hoping to get together! If you are interested please reply and we can coordinate. My schedule is currently very flexible. If someone is not in the DFW are and wants to join happy to do a zoom call as well. Good luck and happy new year to all

Hi! I’m currently preparing for the LSAT and studying at the BPL around the Back Bay area. I’m hoping to find local study buddies who are also preparing for the LSAT. Please let me know if you’re interested.

I believe people like me can stay more motivated and learn more effectively by studying together. I sincerely hope that, by supporting one another, we can all achieve our goals in the end!

Best wishes~

Tips on speed

I took my first timed LR after foundational lessons and I tanked it, 14/25😞. In BR I did a lot better, 22/25, and immediately understood why I got the 3 questions wrong. So, I feel like I understand the concepts but time is the issue. Any tips on improvement?

Also, I take my LSAT in April. Do I have enough time to improve?

LSAT writing section

Hello everyone, I am writing my first ever LSAT next weekend, jan 10th.

I am wondering when the best time to do the writing section is?

I have heard many different POV, and I'm wondering what worked best/didn't work for you?

thanks!

Feeling really frusturated, here is my most recent LSAT score result. I need to at least a 160. The Blind Review shows that i KNOW im around 160s knowledge and i am beyond my goal score (i had a diagnostic score of 137!!) its just NOT translating in my raw score. I need to close the blind review LSAT gap before January 10th, but I literally don't know what to do. I have improved timing and pacing wise, as that was previously a huge issue.

Reading Comprehension is my weakest section. I changed my technique after this LSAT score to read structurally and literally, as I was previously reading for content. However, I took a RC Timed Section today and still got -14!!! I keep consistently falling for trap answers!! I have no idea what to do, or if its even possible to close this blind review gap. I am trying so hard, I have the knowledge of a 160+ scorer but its not translating. Please give me your tips and tricks to close this huge gap? And how else should I do my blind review to close the gap?

thank you all so much in advance.

My scores on older prep tests are consistently higher (by about 5 points) than newer ones. I feel as I am taking these newer tests that the questions are visibly more difficult. Am I crazy or is there any credence to this observation. I am taking the February LSAT; should I abandon the older tests and study only the new ones in preparation? I appreciate any insight. Thanks.

😖 Frustrated

Not A Fan of new explanations

I am slightly unhappy with the explanations provided in PT 159. While I do appreciate the detail, some of them are so long that I end up struggling to actually figure out why something is right or wrong. Would appreciate them being cut down like the acs on other pts.

I am a full-time university student with a demanding management job, a relationship, family commitments, and just life stuff in general. I've been trying so hard to balance everything and focus on my LSAT prep, but it is just so draining at times. No matter what I do or how many sacrifices I make, I feel like I never have enough time. And when I push through regardless of my exhaustion, I end up doing poorly on everything I'm trying to balance. Any advice to deal with this kind of lifestyle?

Hi! When I first started studying I took most recent ptests within the 150s and worked backwards. as i get closer to the test I have been redoing those with the 150s with mixed results. which ptests should I take closest to the real thing to get me prepared?

and does anyone have a recommended list of ptests to take leading up (ex. varied as ptests 149, 154, 132, 147, etc. )? Thank you!!

144->151

Took my first Prep Test about a month ago and got a 144. Today I took my second one and received 151. While it is low it is closer to my goal of 165+. I plan on taking the LSAT in April. Any tips to improve my score?

Wrong answer journal logistics

I think this has already been brought up, but I would really appreciate if the ability to drag a .png of the question from the quick view tab could be brought back. Especially with RC questions, copying and pasting is very messy, and the cleaner format was very helpful in adding questions to my personal wrong answer journal that I had organized by question types, difficulty, and so on.

While wrong answers can be organized in such categories under analytics, scrolling through these is very inconvenient. Every question takes you to a separate page, which wastes a lot of time if you are just trying to find a certain question or skim for commonalities between similar questions. This formatting is extremely frustrating.

I understand that the wrong answer notes feature is now more accessible, but using those notes is also inconvenient. Referring to the question that they were written for requires going to a separate page containing the question, after which the note is put in very small font while the question is in much larger font. Considering that the note should be the primary focus of wrong answer review, this is also extremely frustrating to work with.

I'm actually very disappointed with the current format due to these complications.

In the analytic section (under "sections"), I used to be able to hover the cursor over the bars to see how many questions I missed in previous full sections. Is that feature no longer available or did I imagine that it was once available to begin with? Now, when I hover over the bars, nothing comes up. I would have to go through every past section individually to see previous scores

Is it just my notes or are everyone else's notes on questions getting messed up? I normally use a lot of bullet points and indentations when writing out thoughts for BR and WAJ, and they show while I'm typing, but after I click save, it just all blurs together. I'm really particular about being able to read things easily so this really sucks, and it was fine just yesterday. I went back and looked at my notes on older questions and they're all displaying like that now. If it's just me does anyone know how I can fix this? Sooner rather than later please

🥲 scared

How to not be nervous on test day

I'm taking my final LSAT in January, and I feel like I've done a good job with maintaining nerves (which was my biggest obstacle) so I can better retain strategies and not get overwhelmed.

But I'm also scared, and I'm not trying to put so much pressure on it, anyone know what to do?
