I got a 164 in Sept 2025 and 162 for August 2026. Planning to take Sept in a couple weeks. Should I cancel the 162?

I took the June LSAT and got a 160. I continued studying and was getting low 160s on PTs. I got my August score back and got a 157. I'm trying to decide if I should cancel the August score and/or if I should retake the exam. Most of my target schools have a median of 161-164, so I'm below the median which worries me, but I'm also scared now that if I take it again I won't improve again. Any advice would be appreciated!

Hi! Wondering what exactly you guys noticed is the difference in patterns with the previous practice tests and the 150s. I know they are harder - but what exactly makes them harder? I found the real LSAT to be most reflective of the 150s tests, but I also struggled a lot on more on those that previous exams, dropping 5-6 points from my previous practice tests. My personal observation is that there seem to be more difficult Necessary Assumption and Weaken/Strengthen questions. Curious to hear your guys' thoughts!

Hey chat, I fear I have a bigggg problem. I have been studying for this test for almost 2 years. And I’m still scoring the same 😭😛

For reference: I took the official test twice.

April 2025- scored a 150

October 2025- scored a 151

And I took a practice test yesterday after studying consistently for the last 8 months and guess my score!! Drum roll…150!!!!! (Ugh) with untimed practice I was getting about 20/25 and 22/25 which is definitely my dream goal for this test under timed conditions. But I cannot complete all the questions and I overthink answer choices under timed stress. Any advice on how to stop overthinking answer choices when you are between two, and how to improve timed sections for both LR and RC.

I got a 160 on my Aug lsat and cancelled because it was lower than my previous (161; not the best decision I know but I was kind of panicking). Now I'm panicking more because what if it reflects negatively on my applications? Should I be panicking or is it not as bad as I'm thinking it is?

I was going to take the LSAT in October but will need to push it to November (score release is Dec 2) because I do not feel ready yet and nowhere near scoring to where I want which is 170+. But that means I would have to submit my apps in early December. Is that considered late in being competitive enough for a T-14 spot because some are saying it's at the end of the "early wave" of being considered. What are your thoughts/comments (realistically lol)?

I have one completely fresh PT left. I’m gonna keep studying, and will probably retake the test in November, for my 4th official attempt. I have a few questions:

Are the old PLSATs with logic games on them worth taking? If they are not worth taking, what should I do PT wise? I keep hearing that you should be PT-ing about 3-5 points above your goal score, but that’s a bit challenging to do if I’m running out of fresh or new tests.

Hey everyone! I'm obviously new on here coming from LSAT demon (needed a change and a softer tone lol). But I'm having difficulty navigating this site/the app. On LSAT Demon I was able to retake drills I got wrong but on here I can't seem to figure out how to.

Got my score back for August 2026 and like many, did not score where I was hoping to. I decided to push my application back a cycle shortly after taking my LSAT (wishing I came to this decision before I took the August test...) but am now going back to the drawing board and starting studying all over again. I want to focus on getting to where I want to be with PTs, comprehension and general confidence before retaking, so I'm prioritizing studying until I'm comfortable over studying for a certain date. That being said, I'd like to take it again far enough out that I'm not feeling rushed but close enough that I can retake in June 2027 with a similar gap in timing if needed. Should I aim to be ready in time for the January 2027 LSAT, or take the extra month and plan for the February LSAT? If anyone is in the same boat I would love to connect!!

First timer to the LSAT, trying to make a career change from education to law. Really frustrated with the first attempts score, i studied for 2 months, which obviously isn’t a lot of time for something like this. However, i edited my study plan on here to prepare for September and Novembers test. How are you guys studying to improve scores? Wrong answer journals, how do yall organize it? Is it possible to grow 10 points by September and November? Any and all advice is much appreciated.

any advice on how to break into the 170s? i can't seem to close my timed and BR score gap!

Good evening everyone!

I would like to have some feedback on the Argumentative portion of the LSAT and any would be greatly appreciated and helpful!

My first question, what did you use to prepare yourself for this portion of the test and what helped you the most on test day?

My second question is would it be better to take it before my exam or after my exam? I am taking the September LSAT on the 10th and I really want to focus solely on preparing for that and move my attention to the writing portion afterwards. I just want to hear if this is a good path or if I should do something different.

I am nervous for this part of the exam because I’m not sure how to condense my opinion into only a couple of paragraphs and not entire essays like I have in undergrad. Again any help would be so helpful to me!

Hope everyone is having a good week so far!

Also quick note: I saw on Reddit (and Ik I shouldn’t trust it) that I only have to do the writing portion once? Even if I take two exams? This confused me so I want to make sure.

Hello Everyone!

If you just got your score back and are disappointed, lets make a plan for success. I love to help students learn that the LSAT is a conquerable test! Let’s start with a consult so that we can chart everything out, so I know what your goals are and you know how we can best reach them together! For a bit of background here is what working together typically looks like:

Initial Consult (Getting You Set Up for Success):

Our first session is all about understanding you: your goals, your timeline, and how you learn best. We’ll cover:

• Your background and any prior LSAT prep

• Your strengths (e.g., Logical Reasoning vs. Reading Comprehension)

• Your target score and law school goals

• What you’ve tried so far and what has/hasn’t worked

From there, I’ll build a customized study plan tailored to you. Our typical ongoing session structure:

• Strategic Review – We review recent practice, track progress, and break down missed questions in detail.

• Targeted Lesson – Focused instruction based on your needs (e.g., flaw questions, strengthen/weaken, RC main point, timing strategy).

• Drill & Practice – Apply concepts immediately with guided drills and live problem-solving.

• Recap & Homework – Clear takeaways and a structured plan for what to work on before our next session.

My goal is not just to improve your score, but to help you develop a repeatable system for approaching every question with confidence. I like to be very hands on and supportive throughout your studying to both make sure you are learning to the best of your ability and that you have a good accountability partner! You will leave each class knowing what to do in our time apart!

Reach out via chat or post a comment and Ill reach out to you- lets get started this week on mastering the LSAT together!

Best,

John

Hi! I was told to apply by Halloween to get your app in on time, but I think I can do comparatively better on the LSAT in Nov vs October.

Is November still considered an early time to apply? Wondering if it’s worth it to rush the LSAT process a bit for an earlier application.

Hi, I'm Nick! I work primarily with students who feel stuck despite doing a lot of practice and who need a clearer system for understanding why they’re missing questions.

I went from 158 --> 178 in 4 months by learning how to diagnose my mistakes and change how I approached the test. I now work with students using that same approach, focusing on underlying reasoning issues that lead to fast, durable score improvements. I’m a good fit for students who want structured feedback and are willing to think carefully about their mistakes—not just do more questions.

You can find more about my tutoring philosophy, scheduling, and availability on my website. Happy to answer any questions!

I took the August LSAT and got a 146 from my original diagnostics being a 132. My goal score is around a 155 and plan on taking again in October. If anyone is available for tutoring please DM me or comment below.

Hey everyone! I’m looking for some help/guidance with LSAT prep, and potentially a tutor if anyone has recommendations. I just took the August LSAT and am planning to retake it, but I’m currently studying abroad, so unfortunately I’m limited to taking it again as early as January. I am hoping to make a significant score increase by January. If anyone can help I would really appreciate it. Thank you!

Hi I am looking for someone who is experienced to review my personal statement, application essays etc. for law school. I am applying this cycle. Appreciate if the rates are affordable.

Just for some context: I like reading all the comments when reviewing questions because sometimes students have better explanations. I noticed there’s a new feature in the comments that will show you how many people are on the same question, but when it updates that number, it will bring the comments back up to the beginning. This can be pretty annoying especially when I’ve spent time scrolling through dozens of comments and it will automatically bring me back up. Anyone else experiencing this? #help

I’m a very slow reader, especially on LSAT Reading Comprehension. When I take my time on a passage, my accuracy is quite high. But when I feel rushed or try to read faster to finish all four passages, my accuracy drops significantly.

Given this, would it be better for me to intentionally prioritize only three passages and essentially give up on the fourth, so I can read the first three carefully and maximize accuracy? Or should I continue trying to complete all four passages, even if that means reading faster and risking a substantial drop in accuracy?

In other words, for someone whose main problem is speed more than comprehension, is a “3 passages done well + strategic guessing on the 4th” strategy better than attempting all four with lower accuracy?

Hello,

I got a 163 in April, a 165 in June and a 160 in August…. I signed up to be able to cancel my score after the August test because I just knew it didn’t go well, but I didn’t realize schools still see the cancellation. Should I cancel my August score? I don’t want my last score to reflect my worst score.

Hi everyone! I’m hoping to get some honest insight from people familiar with law school admissions, especially anyone who has experience with applicants whose LSAC GPA is significantly lower than their undergraduate GPA.

My situation is a little weird:

LSAC GPA: ~2.8 Undergraduate GPA: 4.00 (BA Honours) Current LSAT practice scores: around 150 Goal: I’m hoping to continue increasing my LSAT score before applying.

I also completed an advanced diploma at a college before my bachelor’s degree, and some of those grades are contributing significantly to my LSAC GPA.

The first year of my college program was during COVID, and I was also dealing with significant immigration issues and some health/personal circumstances at the time. My academic performance during that period was much weaker than it was later on. It was just a super bad year.

I eventually completed my BA Honours with a 4.00 GPA, so there is a pretty significant upward academic trend. I also completed the degree pretty quickly and performed consistently well in my upper-level coursework.

I’m trying to be realistic about my chances rather than just hear “apply and see.” With a 2.8 LSAC GPA, 4.0 undergraduate GPA, and an LSAT currently around 150, how would admissions committees likely view my application?

A few questions I’d especially appreciate insight on:

- How much does the 4.0 undergraduate GPA/upward trend help when the LSAC GPA is 2.8?

- Would the circumstances surrounding my earlier grades be worth addressing in an addendum, particularly COVID and immigration issues?

- If I can raise my LSAT into the 155–160+ range, does that substantially change my options?

- Are there particular types of schools where someone with this GPA/LSAT profile might still have a realistic shot? If anyone has had a similar low LSAC GPA but strong later undergraduate performance, I’d really appreciate hearing about your experience.

I’m planning to apply broadly and am willing to be realistic about school selection. I’d just like to understand whether the 2.8 LSAC GPA is going to be an automatic barrier despite the 4.0 BA GPA.

Thanks in advance for any honest advice!

Hi! Just looking for some general advice, I am taking the September LSAT and am currently scoring pretty consistently in the 170-173 range. I have been and will continue doing a lots of in-depth drilling on my weak points and I already do deep-dive BR's, but I was just curious if anyone had any advice on how/if they made that jump, and if it came slower/faster, or any other real insights you have!

As it stands, I feel so close to the cusp but often find myself making those slight errors here and there which end up accumulating and biting me in the butt, which of course these have to be severely limited to non-existent for a higher 170. In terms of fatigue, that's not really an issue, in terms of individual sections I am pretty consistent whether it be through a PT or just one section so I don't think that'd be of much help I believe.

I am open to answering any questions about my current weaknesses, study methods, etc! And any advice is welcome, no matter how unorthodox or off the beaten path haha! Thanks for taking the time to read!

I have tried live sessions and the instructors talk extremely fast. If its beginner there's no way for us to learn with them speaking so fast. Then the ones attending are definitely not beginners.

Hi everyone! I've been looking through some posts and see tutoring sessions for the LSAT but I am more interested in having someone with experience in what admissions want to read over my personal statement and a couple "Why X School" essays for my top schools. I also need an affordable hourly rate plz, I work full time and pay for everything on my own and this whole process is already so expensive haha. Does anyone on here do this or able to point me to someone that does?
