How often do you guys usually take practice tests? I'm taking the August LSAT and just want to keep taking practice tests to reassure myself (getting a closer-to-goal score is so addicting) but I'm as equally afraid of burnout as I am of uncertainty.

Hey everyone,

So I've been going through the core curriculum and have a few questions about the analytics after every page, specifically related to the curve.

What does it actually mean when it says "Score of students with a 50% chance of getting this right?" What does that 50% chance actually refer to, and how can you relate it to yourself? Especially if you don't do blind review, you have up to 5 answers. How is this determined and how can you actually apply it to yourself and your understanding of a particular question type?

Cheers

Do people recommend signing up for multiple back to back LSATs before getting your first score back? I hope to apply to school this Fall as early as I can, but am taking my first ever LSAT in August and am not sure how I will score since I'm currently scoring within a wide range (158-169). I am hoping to break at least a 165. Should I just sign up for the September LSAT too to have something lined up in case I am not satisfied with my August score? Or wait for my first score and maybe sign up for the October one later?

Part of me doesn't want to lose momentum and I want to have a better idea of what score I'm applying with earlier on so I can tailor my school list to that (meaning I would sign up for September too), but I also don't want to rush the process to the point where I am sacrificing my best possible score. Trying to find the balance between applying early and getting a decent LSAT score. I also don't want to push off applying another year... so am trying to get the LSAT out the way :)

Mogging LR but not RC

I am taking the August test and have been super confident in LR for a bit. -5 is basically the worst LR section im getting at all, I just cant get my RC up. RC scores will at best be -7 no matter what. Does anyone have any advice.

it made me the host when clayton's internet kicked him out because of the alphabet I think... because I left the meeting and it asked me to pick a host

Hi! I am taking the September LSAT in San Diego. I am looking for others who can help keep each other accountable with our studying! In person study sessions would be great, but I’m very open to virtual sessions or just someone to message about the process!

I’m 22, live in the La Jolla area, and my goal score is 165+

Please let me know if you’re interested or comment your Instagram and I’ll DM you there.

I've been jumping from 149 to 150, to 155 , then to 149. I feel like I am able to break into 150's but I want to be more consistent in obtaining that score. I study consistently, I participate in BR, and I have also gone back into the foundations just incase I needed a refresher on logic/causation. I know my weak areas and also drill those as well. I don't want to get frustrated but any pointers or tips? Thank you in advance!

Hi,

I'm following the comprehensive core cirrciuylum and just finished the LR section. I just started Reading Comp. Should I just follow the plan exactly as it is and focus on Lr for now or should I start doing LR questions as well? I dont want to forget a lot of the LR content while I study for reading comp. Any advice or guidance would be great. Thank you

Will I have the option to make text size bigger on test day? This text is so small it is hard to read and focus on. I will adjust if need be, but just curious if anyone has insight on this.

I took a test in April and got 160. Considering I was balancing studying with work and school, I was very proud of my score, but I want to get it up to at least a 165. I've been drilling and logging my errors, trying to make sense of what needs to change, and my most consistent mess-up is inference (especially in RC) and conditional logic. Are there any tips on how I can be thorough with my CR mapping, my RC reading while still getting the right answers in time???

Thank you 7Sage for the games!

Aside from it being a new fun way to learn, I found it quite illuminating that some things that I thought were a bit challenging for me are more challenging than I thought, and the things I was concerned about I am better at than I thought.

Awesome new tool.

PT 156

Hi everyone! So I’m taking the August test, and I just took PT 156 last night and I’m feeling discouraged based off my results. I had been consistently scoring in the upper 150s on PTs in the 150s, but for this particular exam it was like the arguments weren’t clicking for me at all. I will deeply review it but I feel like I’m getting really stressed that the same thing will happen on my actual exam next month. Any advice?

I've been studying on and off for about a year (with big breaks because of school, work, etc.). I've been pretty consistently scoring in the high 160s but really want to be 170+ (at least) on the actual test. I was planning on taking the test in September after an advanced course in August. The deadline to register is the end of this week. However, I feel nervous signing up for it unless I'm already scoring in my goal range, as I've had to back out before and lost a lot of money. I also want to apply during this application cycle and know it's better to get apps in as early as possible. Should I take a risk and sign up for the September one or push it to October??

Hey all! To give more context, I am doing my LSAT prep while working full time so I really have to balance the value I get from my drills with the amount of drills I do! I've noticed that the medium length for a practice block is too much for me as I usually have to sacrifice some part of my day to do my WAJ for all of those drills. However, the light length for the practice block is too little and I'd have to supplement it with my own drills anyway leaving me with not a great use for it. What I think would be really useful would be a manual process to structure each day in the practice block because I'd love to do one section a day + 1 or 2 drill sets 4 days a week, rest and then do my PT on Saturday and review Sunday. So basically being able to say on day 1, I want to add one LR section and one tutor's pick drills and then on day 2 say I want to add an LR section + only 1 drill targeting my weaknesses or something like that, basically just more thorough control over how a practice block is structured.

Spanish 101

Hi! I'm new here and am going through the intro. In Spanish 101 the first LSAT question, is it only 1 question or am I missing something? I tried to press next and was not able to, so I ended the session and saw my grade. Please help, thank you in advance!

PT 155 put BTA on me on a fine Sunday afternoon. RC was so bad for me that I lowkey think JY and Kevin are about to trade me for some picks to clear up that cap space.

in all honesty, a 160 is still a decent score for my goals. but god damn, pt 155 got me thinking 170+ is a ring and I am James Harden

PT Score Review

I'm kind of confused. I took a PT tonight and wasn't able to answer 5 questions- ran out of time. I am working on BR right now but my score timed isn't adding the 5 questions that I didn't do, so my score is "higher" because of that. Like it didn't count the ones I didn't do wrong, so they are basically counted right. Does anyone know why that is the case?

I take my lsat in August and I'm looking for 1 or 2 sessions of tutoring before my test to tried to figure out exactly what I'm doing wrong. When it comes to reading comp, timing is definitely the issue. I either spend way too much time on the passage or try to read it faster and then not fully grasp everything. Casual and conditional reasoning have been my most missed questions and I wonder if there's something I'm not fully understanding that a tutor can help point out. Please reach out.

I have zoomed out at 33% before I can see both the question, explanation, and the AI chat box. But they are way too small. When I make it bigger the AI chat takes up more of the page. Is there any way we can make questions bigger and the right one a bit smaller and customize it?

LawHub Issue

Hi Everyone - I'm wondering if anyone is having a similar issue to me.

I have been taking the full practice tests on LawHub directly and noticed that once the 5 minute warning appears, I'm not longer able to select (or blur) any answer choices. I'm able to get passed it by exiting full screen then clicking it again, it seems to give the system a little reset, but who knows if I'll be able to do that on test day.

I have already emailed LSAC and I'm waiting to hear back but I'm wondering if this is happening to anyone else? Really hoping to not have any more surprises before August..

Hi All,

I took the LSAT in 2025 and am starting law school in the fall. Like you, I studied under a tutor; I will bring only actionable steps that made a difference in my own performance curve.

For roughly two to three months, I took enough practice tests to start seeing questions before falling asleep at night. I'd like to help you hit your target score much sooner than that point, and with far fewer tests.

Wherever you may be (phase-wise) in your prep, I'll hit the ground running with you to help devise an efficient routine. I started at a baseline score of 150, and hit 170 in my prep after worrying less about scoring fluctuations (ironically).

The authors have all the time in the world to design questions that attempt to confuse, distort, and frustrate your beliefs—resulting in a test of your tension tolerance as much as any general reasoning ability. I will make sure to include practice strategies to mitigate overwhelming nerves or common stress.

Another area of interest I'd love to assist you with: any application essays you may have or want to start considering. I'm from a family of writers and see the drafting phase of an application as a chance to understand yourself from a stranger's perspective.

Let me know if you'd like to start studying.
