Hi

I started studying for the LSAT last year and I was planning on taking the October LSAT. It’s annoying because I feel like I understand the techniques really well. I get on a role sometimes and can get almost all the questions right but then some days I feel so exhausted like I can’t even get out of bed. I don’t think that studying for the LSAT is hard but I feel like at this point I’m drilling and not making any progress. I almost always get maybe 1 or 2 answers wrong in a RC passage. When it comes to LR I was getting between 3-7 wrong per 25. I got good at it and then took some time off after my last exam. I feel like I have so much pressure on getting the best result I can. Like if I don’t get a 160+ I have failed completely. I’m so tired. I don’t necessarily want any advice I just want to voice my frustration with this test. I’m planning on taking the August test. It feels so far away but also so soon and I don’t know how to improve my score. I don’t want to run out of test material either. I still have more than 2500 LR questions and over 100 rc passages. I’m trying to study 3 hours a day minimum but lately I am so exhausted that I can’t do anything. I started taking lions mane which is supposed to be a cognitive booster but lately I feel that has just been making me more drained. I also typically drink at least 1 energy drink before studying.

Hey y'all,

I'd like to start an online study group for any girlies that are looking to test in September of this year (or around then).

I have recently started using Yeolpumta (a Korean app that tracks your studying and lets you create study groups), and I feel like it would be fun and motivating to have a supportive community of women to look to for encouragement and positive vibes while we work toward our LSAT goals. I want the group to be a way for like-minded women to hold each other accountable and maybe even make some friends. ✨💕

Message me if you're interested, and I'll send you a link to join the group on YPT (the aforementioned app).

EDITED TO ADD: The group is still open, so feel free to send me a message any time. Since some people who join may not be as active in the chat, I want to keep allowing new people to join in hopes that we'll have an active chat and get a nice rapport going. I'll edit this post if/when the group is closed.

Hey Guys! I am looking for a Chicago In-Person Study Group to make studying easier, more fun, and more collaborative. I couldn't find a recent discussion thread so I thought I would make one :) Preferably we could have something based in the Loop or surrounding areas! Let me know if you are interested.

I purchased this guy's course and there's no contact email or way to cancel. I paid $40 for a bunch of useless shit on the site that hardly loads. There's a money back guarantee but no way to even cancel. It's shady af. I am trying to get a hold of him to get a refund and cancel before I get charged for next month. I know he was once affiliated with 7Sage and he even recycled some of the content that's on here. The entire course used to be on 7Sage which is why I am coming here for answers. Can anyone help?

Reading Comp😭

I’m so frustrated. My RC scores vary so much. Today I did the worst I’ve ever done, -12😭 I just don’t understand it like a few days ago I got a -5. Does anyone have tips to improve and stay consistent?

Just a PSA (but especially for girlies): Narcissistic abuse literally damages your brain and interferes with your reasoning and critical thinking abilities, processing speed, and memory. I went from being consistently getting around 95 percent correct to a much more variable percentage. Please preserve your brain power for studying for this test. Gaslighting can affect your ability to gauge the strength of premises, for example. Your goal is to figure out the validity of the arguments on the LSAT instead of the validity of someone's son's lies. Abusive people force you to reason like them, which does not translate to the best results on the LSAT. Having to sift through 27 lies a day is equivalent to the mental load of doing 27 extra practice questions that actually make you worse instead of better.

For context I have taken 8 full length timed practices and continue to score around 160, while my blind review scores have shot up to a 167. No matter how much I review in different ways or drill the question types I miss most often, I cannot get the scores to match or at least get closer together. I'm feeling like I'm out of options and my test date is coming up sooner than I'd like. Any advice on how to use my last few weeks well to close the gap?

I've been studying for the LSAT since the summer and am taking it in June. I'm also currently in my third year of univeristy with a full course load, sports team volunteer work, etc. so I'm feeling a lot of stress. I know that's not uncommon when studying for the LSAT and that many test-takers embark on their LSAT journey while having really full plates. But I think the stress of it has gotten to me more than I expected. It's added a lot to my daily life and weighs heavy on my mind, it's something I'm constantly thinking about. Every grade I get back feels like the end of the world, like if it's not nearly-perfect there's no chance I'll get into law school and I'll be a failure. Every PT I do feels super important, like I need to show myself that I'm improving. I know I'm putting a lot of pressure on myself, but the LSAT and the law school application process just feels so all encompassing. I feel such anxiety about my GPA and my PT scores, it's impacting every other area of my life. Part of it is that I don't have any friends who are also taking this test, so I feel a little isolated from my friends, who are constantly asking me: "Why are you taking so long to study for that test?" and "Don't most people only need like three months?"

Any tips on not feeling like your life revoloves around academics and the LSAT?

Hi! Looking for potential morale buddies to stick together & keep each other motivated during this brutal process.

I'm 23F living in Manhattan working a full-time job and would love other people to make this process more fun. Thinking virtual stuff mostly but would also be cool to maybe grab coffee and meet live.

I have been studying around 4 months and am in the 165 range, hoping to take the test in June 2025-- hoping for people kind of in a similar stage both in terms of the test and life, but generally open!

Comment if interested! :)

Hello,

I just started my journey and wish to take the LSAT in august. I am still in the foundations yet when I do drill sets I get complex level drills about flaw questions and when I click explanation its like 17 minute videos and they say "as mentoned in the core curriculum". So my question is, should I wait to finish more of the course then tackle drill sets or keep doing them even if I havent learned how to solve them?

Hi!

I am working my way through the core curriculum and see that a lot of PTs now say that 1-2+ questions have been taken from them. I don't want to limit how many PTs I can take and also don't want to pull questions from the PTs in the new format so that I can accurately assess what scores to expect. Is there a way I can drill without pulling questions from the new form PTs?

Confirm action

Are you sure?
