Hello everyone, I am offering LSAT tutoring at $40/hour. I scored a 171 on my LSAT after having a 154 diagnostic. I was able to achieve big jumps quickly through really targeting my flaws. I study philosophy and mathematics, so have a lot of experience with logical reasoning. I like explaining questions using proper logical notation, which once understood can skyrocket scores.

Feel free to reach out to me to schedule a quick call to see if we are a good fit.

Work great with anyone:

• In the 150s aiming for 165+

• In the 160s trying to break into 170+

• Having trouble figuring out flaws that you need to overcome

Hello!

There's often a large gap between my PTs and my BRs. My PT scores tend to be in the high 160s, and the BRs tend to be in the high 170s.

On most blind reviews, it's almost immediately obvious what the right answer is, and I can identify why the actual choice I made was wrong.

I believe stress and anxiety from the timer negatively impacts my performance.

In spite of having taken dozens of practice tests at this point (not all of which were on 7Sage), and having done a considerable amount of drills, sections, and reading/watching videos, my current average PT score (167) is lower than my initial diagnostic (no studying at all) score of 168.

Endurance also may contribute to the PT/BR gap. My mind sometimes starts to wander while I'm taking the PTs.

Do any of you have advice for overcoming the timer anxiety? Do any have advice for keeping your mind from wandering?

Thank you!

Hi all! I am going to be in DC from May-August doing an internship. I will also be studying for the LSAT and would love to put together a group that is available to meet in person consistently. If you are in the DC area and would be interested in a study group, please message me!

Timing Drills

My BR PT scores are telling me that I understand the material but am struggling under timed conditions. I just did a very off-feeling PT where my score was a little disappointing but where I BR'd to a 174. I think many of these were because I was between two answers and selected incorrectly. Can you guys give me some inspiration for timed drills that can help me get my speed up? I am registered to take the June test, hopefully I'm not in too bad of a spot. Thank you!

😖 Frustrated

New Lawhub interface (aug 2026)

Is anyone else concerned/frustrated with the new law hub interface? I just took my first practice section in the new interface... I have my concerns.

First, why did they make it extremely inconvenient to "block out" wrong answers? It took me on average 15-30 more seconds per question, simply because I had to keep clicking back and forth to be able to "block out" wrong answers, and go back to being able to choose the right answer.

To try and combat this I was going to highlight why I chose the wrong answer (as I normally do in the practice), and now that's not an option either. Which brings me to my second issue... why can we not highlight in the answer choice anymore? this was extremely useful for going back to flagged questions, as I would highlight certain words in the 2 AC's I was stuck between.

The test is already difficult in its self, I feel like they should have just kept the eye symbol to "block out" wrong answers. this new feature definitely does not make my experience "smoother and easier", it makes it more time consuming.

I think the fact it has more accessibility regarding color filters, font, etc. is awesome, but the aforementioned changes are burdensome and borderline unnecessary.

New career Idea.

Hi! I've just completed a Masters of Science in Legal Studies with a concentration in Intellectual Property. I had intended to get this degree just to work as a legal aid at a law firm, but I think that I want to actually go to law school now. Will this degree prevent me from being able to go? Will law schools disapprove of it? Thanks for any help you can give me.

😖 Frustrated

Stuck in the mid 150s.

I first entered the 150s in late March. Then, almost a week later, I got a 153. Then another 153. Now a 154. I took section 1 of PT 127 and got a Preptest equivalent of a 154. I just want to enter the 160s. I've started focusing on on flaw reasoning and reconcile questions. Now I'm focusing on weakening and strengthening, the latter I'm struggling with, but I'm starting to let go of my mindset that the answer has to explicitly prove the conclusion, and I feel like I'm performing better. I just don't understand why I'm not improving. In this section, I took the advice of people here, focusing on accuracy over quantity. So I spent more time than I would have pressed for time. I had more answers left unanswered compared to other PTs ( really, 3 more), but I got 17 correct out of the 19 intentionally chosen. (22 with blind review). The rest I guessed on without looking at the questions due to lack of time and got none right lol. If you have any tips, specifically on time and calming yourself down due to anxiety on tests. Thanks in advance

WashU Scholarships

I got a 168 on my first LSAT attempt (right in the range I had been PTing in, my highest ever PT was 171), and I have a 3.99 GPA with a double major.

I am a first generation college student. I have no attorneys in my family, and I've been doing social work in my rural hometown since I graduated college. My goal is nonprofit/public service work as an attorney, so I'm not planning on making a lot of money. I can't afford to take out a lot of loans for law school .

My absolute dream school is WashU in St. Louis. I'm from this area. I have professional ties there and family there. It keeps me close to home and to the communities I'm currently serving as a forensic interviewer.

Assuming I would even be admitted with these stats, I could never even dream of attending without a massive scholarship. Do I need to just give up on the idea of WashU with these stats? I am signed up to take the June LSAT, but there is no chance I am getting at or above their 175(!!!!!) median in a month.

Hey, hope everyone is doing well! Will 7SAGE be updating their website to use the same interface that LSAC will be changing to for the August 2026 exam? That would be super helpful and make it much easier to get used to! Thanks!

Hi all,

I've been fortunate enough to be consistently scoring in the 160s, with my highest PT score to date being 168! I, like many people, want to break into the 170s, but I've reached a plateau I haven't seen improve. Additionally, when I review my PTs, I notice that 99% of my wrong answers were due to me constantly changing from the right to the wrong answer due to anxiousness about "being wrong" (ironic).

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to better establish the necessary confidence when it comes to (1) picking answer choices and (2) my understanding of the different question types?

Thank you!

Curriculum finished! Woo! Currently, plan is to do practice blocks/pre-exam block up until June 5th LSAT. Any advice on tweaking (optimizing) my plan? Something you've found particularly helpful in the month leading up to the LSAT?

Context: I've taken 6 PrepTests total. Four of them in August (two timed, two untimed), and two in the past couple months (untimed) to check progression.

Cold turkey timed score in August (i.e., no studying): 147, 155 later that same month, with some studying. Most recent untimed tests have been 161, but have gotten 163 and 164.

Goal score for now is 165. Planning to take it in August, too. I worry about not having taken many timed tests, but I would think comprehension is king.

Thank yoooouuuuuuu :)

Hi everyone!

If you're feeling stuck at a plateau or just overwhelmed by the amount of content on the LSAT, you are not alone. I've been in your shoes, starting with a 155 diagnostic and a 2-month-long plateau in the 160s. It took a lot of trial and error before I earned my 174 official score. Now that my LSAT journey is over, I'm here to help others in the community along theirs.

Why work with me?

Performance on the LSAT is dependent on habits. Together, we’ll focus on the 'why' behind your answer choices and analyze your specific thought process rather than just explaining why the right answer is correct. We will:

  • Diagnose gaps in reasoning and refine your thought process

  • Break down the answer choices that tempted you

  • Discover the repeatable patterns in LR and RC and build your intuition for the exam

Support Between Sessions

Studying for the LSAT happens 24/7, not just during our calls. My students always have access to me via text or email at no extra charge. If a problem isn't making sense or you need a bit of guidance, I’m available!

---

I have 2 openings at $50/hour. I'm happy to chat with anyone interested.

Happy studying!

Could someone tell me how I should be reading the kind of answer choices that identify a flaw by saying the argument “confuses X for Y” or a sufficient condition for a necessary condition? When I try to use piecemeal analysis to figure out what is being confused for what - like which clause actually appears in the argument vs which clause should’ve appeared in the argument - I always get lost.

TIA

APRIL LSAT

Hi everyone!

I just wanted to post a quick post of encouragement for those feeling down after finding out their results of the April LSAT. I've been reading other posts and have found it nice to know that I'm not alone, so I thought I would share my thoughts with everyone.

I scored a 151. This was my first time taking it, and I think some of my anxiety got the best of me. That said, I am trying to think of the positives. When I first started studying for the LSAT 8 months ago, all I wanted was a 150. I just wanted to be average. I am not a good standardized test taker. I think on the ACT I might have scored a 19... but I am a student with a 4.0 in both my undergraduate and graduate degrees. I am not a traditional student, and have been working full-time at a courthouse for the last 1.5 years. I studied Criminal Justice and Psychology in my undergrad, and my masters degree is in Criminal Justice.

I have not decided if I'm going to retake, as I am not applying until the next admission cycle (Fall of 2027). Additionally, I am not aiming for a top school. I guess, I just wanted to share this, because this is where I'm at. Feel free to share below.... if you're feeling similar or what your thoughts are. I think it's just nice to "talk" to people who are experiencing the same thing. Regardless, everyone should be proud of themselves because this a difficult test, and we did it and tried our best.
