Hi all, I am currently losing sleep over this and was wondering if anybody had any insight or a similar situation and how it worked out for them

I am currently about to be a senior in college, looking to apply to law school this upcoming cycle.

My sophomore fall semester, I got an academic integrity violation for AI use. I know in retrospect (and at the time) it was completely stupid and foolish of me, not that this is an excuse in any way, shape, or form, but it was for a rough draft I completely forgot about and tried to scrap something together quickly. I don't want to sound like I am pitying myself or anything; I am well aware of my actions, and to this day, am disappointed in myself. I have grown so much academically and as a person since then, and this is never something that would happen again. I pled guilty to the charges, received a 0 on the assignment, and a warning with no further action. As far as I am aware, there is no note of this on my transcript, and this has only been a 1 time incident.

I am 99% sure I will have to report this on the C&F (although it is not on my official transcript) I do not like hiding things; the anxiety would eat me alive, as I said, I am losing sleep over my admissions now. I currently have a 3.28 (that semester wrecked my cumulative) and am actively studying for the LSAT (so no score to report) but I am obviously going to try to counteract my GPA a little with my LSAT, but since day 1 my GPA has already stressed me out about getting into any t100, I have a ton of extracurricular/clubs, work near full time while in college, and have held leadership in these clubs.

My overall question is really just asking if I have any shot at getting accepted anywhere with this on my record. It stresses me out daily and I am kind of pessimistic and suffer from diagnosed severe anxiety, so getting accepted anywhere eats me alive

I want to clearly be able to see the question types where I'm choosing the "trap" answer (e.g. the answer choice which other test takers most frequently choose). There is no easy way to see this in the 7sage interface, nor can I download my wrong answer choices and associated percentage wrong and question type in a table format to use AI to analyse it for me. Can you please help fix this? Seems like a key feature students should have access to.

Hi! I will be moving to Seoul, South Korea in June for a study abroad and wanted to know if anyone wanted to start a study group? I plan to take my LSAT in October as well.

I am still struggling with the basics, especially identifying the main point and conclusion. I know that is the foundation of LSAT reasoning, and everything builds off of it.

I’ve been dealing with shoulder, neck and arm pain for over 2 years, and I do have medical records from my PCP documenting it. The main issue is that prolonged writing or computer use causes numbness and pain in my arms, shoulders and hands. During full PTs, by around the second section, I sometimes physically can’t annotate or take notes normally anymore because my arm starts going numb and too painful.

I also notice that once the pain and numbness gets worse, it becomes much harder to focus and process information efficiently. It’s not just discomfort, it genuinely affects my pacing and ability to continue testing normally.

I’ve tried taking pain medication and using pain relief patches during practice tests and real tests. Unfortunately, normal doses of pain medication don’t really reduce the pain anymore, while stronger doses make me feel drowsy and mentally slower. Stronger pain patches also don’t really help the numbness and only seem to help for about 45 minutes before the symptoms come back.

I never really considered accommodations before because I didn’t think this would “count” as a disability. But I feel like I might need it now😞

For people who applied under chronic pain or physical impairment:

• What documentation did LSAC want most?

• Was PCP documentation enough, or did I need a specialist?

• Did you apply for breaks, extra time, or both?

• Do you think my situation sounds like something worth applying for, or am I overthinking this?

Would really appreciate hearing anyone’s experiences. Thanks!

i was inspired by another lsat post and thought i’d offer some free help on the LSAT :)

im studying for the june test, but i wanted to pick apart the test from another angle: by explaining concepts to students who are currently in the 150s or 160s. i’ve studied on and off since my diagnostic of 156 and my journey has been far from smooth but i’ve realized that the test IS predictable and it’s a matter of leveraging those predictions.

unfortunately, i do have limited availability but i’d love to offer free 45 min sessions and i’ll help explain any problems you’ve having difficulty with. (priority will be given to ppl who respond first!)

i’m only beginning to understand the test at a much deeper level so i don’t want to ask for money - i just want to offer my services bc i’ve definitely been in your shoes before and i want to gain a new perspective explaining it to someone else.

EDIT: while i wanted to offer one free 45 min session to each person, as of now i'm gonna have to limit this offer to the first 8 ppl who replied to my post. once i take the june test and wait for my score, my schedule will open up more and i will message you in the order posted. time is unfortunately something i don't have much of right now and i do need to prioritize my personal studying :/

I'm having a hard time with the timing component. When I do drills, should I only answer what I can or is it better to answer all the questions even if they are guesses? As I'm looking at my analytics I can tell there is a problem because I'm guessing on half the section. When I just look at the questions I actively worked my percentage correct is better. Thoughts?

Hi there! I started working through the Study Plan on April 28th I believe and the start date keeps changing every day to whatever today's date is (so right now it says I started on May 12th). It's making it difficult to see if I'm ahead or behind this way so if someone could help resolve this I'd be so grateful!

Thanks!

good morning! i am interested in connecting with test takers located in the dc metropolitan area who would like to meet up at least 1x/week to go over problems, discuss issues and hold each other accountable.

for context, i am a first-gen nontraditional applicant. i have also taken the LSAT a few times and i am currently averaging PT scores within the mid to high 150s. my goal is to break into the 170s and take the october 2026 test. however, my timeline is subject to change as i will be applying to start in Fall 2028.

if you're interested, please join if you:

• are committed to meeting at least 1x/week, either virtually or in-person (if in-person, please make sure you're located in an area serviced by WMATA)

• have an average PT of 155+ and want to score 170+

• can do daily check-ins of practice sessions (what you covered, what you did well on, what you'd like to improve, etc.)

• are comfortable talking through questions and dissecting them for better understanding

• have already graduated/are also a nontraditional applicant

• are open to the group remaining active past test prep (i.e. essay review, brainstorming, timeline mapping, etc.)

• are serious about making progress and can actively participate in the group

• plan to apply within the next year (either 2026 or 2027 app cycle)

my availability throughout the week varies, but i'm free to meet on weekdays from 8:30-10PM (virtually) with occasional availability in the morning. my weekends are also pretty open, but i prefer to meet in the morning/early afternoon to provide the chance to meet in-person.

if you're interested, please feel free to join the group!

Hi :)

As the title suggests, I am struggling with this question type quite a bit. Do you guys have any strategies or tips on how to improve on this? Almost every point I lose on RC is exclusively this type, and I'm not quite sure what I should change in my reading or process to avoid this mistake.

Thank you, I hope you're all doing well! We got this <3

Can someone explain why it's not D? I was thinking in terms of the CS class-instance framework and so D seemed like the best one.. (groups = broader category/class while nations = instance or specific example of that broader category) I'm also just confused what 'instance' even means in LSAT terms.

Currently working at a company and job I enjoy. Decided that even though it pays well I know I need to do something in the law and preferably public interest related. My conundrum is when do I tell my manager that I'm quitting my job to go to law school?

The role I'm in is fairly complicated and required about 6 months of training to get it down. I was planning on letting her know maybe six months before I leave. I want to give her as much time to find and have me train someone but at the same time I could see them letting me go early and I need that income.

What should I do?

I was where you are now: I had a test to crush and a gulf between my skills and achieving that T-14 goal score. Well, I did what any person would do who didn't know what they were doing; I went searching for advice from people who had already achieved success. I read for hours and hours, the accounts of people who had received perfect and near perfect scores. Their advice had a very few common threads:

-Find a major prep company and completely work through all of their strategy lessons and drills

-Take many sections and tests both in untimed and timed formats

-Blind review all timed tests (taking them again entirely without a timer)

-Carefully dissect all incorrectly answered questions

At the time, the LSAT was still on paper and so explanations for LSAT questions were scarce. This was to my benefit and it can be to yours as well. That means relying on the explanations of 7Sage should only be done after you've exhausted considerable effort trying to dissect the questions yourself, given the correct answer. If 7Sage's explanation doesn't make sense or you are curious to hear a question explained in a different way, well that's what a tutor is for! I'll add just one bit advice to that which I found in my research: learn and understand any vocab word related to argumentation that the LSAT uses, which you are unfamiliar with.

If you'd like a tutor to help you through the rough patches and plateaus, I'm eager to join you where you're at on your LSAT journey. I use an "I do, we do, you do" approach to new materials.

My hourly rate changes based on whether you buy a package of hours or seek to pay session by session. It is as follows:

20 hour package - $70/hr

10 hour package - $80/hr

Session by session - $90hr

I'm registered for the June test date and I am nearly through with the more recent test questions not reserved for full PTs so I've resorted to doing drills / sections of older questions. I mainly study by doing full sections rather than a bunch of shorter drills so my main issue is that I'm running out of sections that fully consist of new questions. I've definitely noticed differences in question structure between the new and old LR sections, but its hard for me to tell whether there is a significant change in difficulty between the two. I have been doing better on the old ones vs the new ones so it could be that I'm finally starting to master the LR section (hopefully) or it could be due to easier questions.

Does anyone know if the old sections are actually any easier than the new ones? If so, what would be a good study practice for someone who doesn't have very many 'fresh' questions left from more recent PTs?

hi y'all ◡̈ was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to close the gap on blind review or just reviewing overall without using a wrong answer journal (i don't feel like im actually retaining when i use it because i don't really go back to reference it). thanks in advance for the tips <333

Hey guys!! I'm drafting my personal statement and plan to mention the attorney/founder of the law firm I am working under as a transition into my "why". This is because his practice has focused on many of the flaws and hardships he faced during a personal probate proceeding and how he reformed these practices for the community. I want to relate this to why I want to go into family law.

Is this a bad idea?? I've heard it's not great to talk about other people in your PS. I have about 4 sentences about his firm, where I mentioned I have aided in these practices. #help

Hi all, I am planning to take the August LSAT this summer. I already took the test and scored a 167, and am hoping for low to mid 170s. I have previously PTd 174 and usually average a 172, but I haven't studied for the test in around 6 months. What kind of study work should I be doing to make my time most effective? Should I redo the curriculum, or just focus on drilling individual weaknesses and taking PTs? I have no commitments this summer so I am planning to study around 40-50 hours a week.

Working through the Foundations curriculum and just wondering what the recommended practice test frequency/cadence is afterwards. I see a lot of people reference their practice test scores and when to schedule based on how you are scoring, so I would be curious to hear what different people recommend.

I have two little ones and work full time so planning time windows to do timed practice test is challenging so I am just wondering how intentional you need to be about getting those tests in. It feels like by far the most important thing to do, but also a challenging thing to work in frequently.

Hello,

I'm looking to create a small, committed study group of people who are based in New York City and are taking the August LSAT. In order for this to be as effective as possible I ask that you only reach out if the following apply to you:

1) Scoring at least 155 on PTs

2) Age 22+ / Done with undergrad

3) Able to meet once a week, in person, in Manhattan

4) Able to commit to one study session a week

I am 25, based on the Lower East Side, and have a standard 9-5 job. I'm currently scoring in the low 160s and would like to bump my score as close to 180 as possible.

Looking forward to meeting!

Best,

Subhash

Maybe this is already a thing but when I’m reviewing a specific tag (ex parallel reasoning) I would love to be able to click the arrow and it takes me to the next question within the tag (parallel reasoning questions) instead of taking to the next question in the section. I know I could just run a drill with the tag but sometimes I just want to consecutively watch the videos or read the explainers for that tag without having to go back and forth from the missed questions page to the question I’m reviewing.

I work full-time and can be quite tired at the end of a long day, and my work especially is the type that can be draining. From prior experience, I kind of feel that studying for as long as I should each day can end up getting to a point where I am too tired to focus on my studying; sometimes it is fine but others I just kind of go through the motions. Do any other people who have tried studying while working have any tips or strategies that worked for them?

Hi all,

I am about finished with the curriculum. Long story short, I was out of the country and have also just started a new job so my LSAT studying kind of fell to the wayside for about a month and a half but I am back at it and just have to finish up my last day of curriculum material tomorrow. I literally only had 2 days of curriculum left when I kind of fell off track LMAO. Anyway, I am wondering how much I should I be drilling daily if I plan to take the test in August (about 3 months out)? I was originally going to take it in June but then felt I fell too far behind timing wise.

I attempted a PT today and had to stop halfway through because it genuinely felt like my brain stopped processing information correctly. I wasn’t panicking outwardly, but I suddenly couldn’t sustain focus, couldn’t fully comprehend passages, and for the first time ever, I couldn’t even finish all the LR questions in a section. I was reading words, but nothing felt like it was actually sticking cognitively.

For context, I’m coming off an extremely intense semester (finals, leadership transitions, travel, etc.), so I’m wondering if this is some combination of burnout/anxiety/cognitive overload, but it honestly scared me because I’m used to functioning at a very high academic level.

If anyone has experienced this during prep:

• How did you reset?

• Did you take time off or push through?

• How did you rebuild focus/stamina?

• Did it end up being temporary?

Would really appreciate any advice because right now I feel mentally fragmented and pretty overwhelmed.
