Hello, I just began my studying, and im studying to take the lsat next year. I would love to have a study group or study buddies, where we hold each other accountable and give each other insights.

So a month ago I broke 170 on a PT for the first time, 174 on 140. The following week a 173 on PT 150. I was like damn I finally broke the 160s plateau. Lo and behold I got a 168 on PT153, which isn't horrific, given its only around 3ish questions worse compared to my 173 performance, if not for the fact that I got -8 on one of the RC sections, which thankfully was experimental. I'd like to be more realistic about things and just realise that this is all just part of performance variance, but honestly the way reading comprehension drills have been bending me over is just making me question whether those were fluke performances. idk im trying everything ive been told, 4 minutes on the passage, the split approach, highlighting key words, i just find a way to fumble questions. Im redoing old passages from before to avoid running out of passages and still getting stuff wrong. What am i missing? And are drills supposed to be this tough? Also i'm considering getting a tutor because i'm at a bit of a loss, does anyone else have experience with this?

When reviewing questions outside of blind review, I can't see my actual take (the answers I eliminated and which ones I kept open). All I see is the unmarked question.

For those who are working full-time and trying to study for the LSATs, how are you managing it? How are you scheduling yourself. I have tried to study for the LSAT for about three years and have never been discipline enough to manage both. I would study at work but never at home or during the weekends.

Granted I have not done enough practice exams to see where I am at. I just want something more than what I currently have in live and would love to be a lawyer. But finding sometimes finding the motivation is hard for me. I am trying to find ways to improve my mental health so I can manage both

Any tips would be appreciated

I am taking my LSAT in January. However, I just got notified that my LSAC Fee Waiver to Law Hub expires in seven days and that there is NO way to renew it until November 27th, 2026 (a year from now). I have completed the core curriculum on 7sage and am in my first week of drilling. This means that I will be left without access to any prep tests or drill questions starting next week as I lose access to 7Sage materials due to losing my fee-waiver-provided subscription to Law Hub.

I can not afford to purchase a standalone Law Hub subscription (hence why I am on the Fee Waiver). What should I do? I already applied to law schools as the deadline was Nov 1st (the January LSAT is the last accepted LSAT score for this admission cycle in Ontario, Canada) and so this upcoming LSAT score would be the final/only score on my application....

Hi, I live in North Jersey but also go to NYC a lot so if any girls are interested in a study group in this area let me know. I'm also open to online study sessions to hold each other accountable.

I recently started actually studying and plan on taking the lsat on April.

I was consistently PT-ing in the 170+s for several weeks leading up to my October LSAT, but my official score didn’t even break into the 160s :( Has anyone else experienced something similar? I’m starting to question my abilities / intelligence despite all the effort I put in.

I just scored a 175 on PT126.

Hi all,

I've been struggling with staying focused even for small drills for extended periods of time (30min lol) periods of time and it is genuinely so frustrating. Anyone else have trouble with focus? I get distracted so easily it makes me doubt myself and future career prospects :(

Hey everyone, If anyone is in NYC and is down for group studies, comment on this post.

Let's get in touch :)

Hi all, I'll be taking the LSAT in January and I'm currently averaging -3/-4 per section (both in LR and RC) during PrepTests and timed individual sections. On my BRs I'm averaging -1, and when I take full, untimed sections I average -1. Additionally, I tend to end up with a few minutes left over after each section (which I seem to use for a rushed review of flagged questions). Does anyone have any advice on how I can improve my accuracy in timed sections over the next month?

I'm taking the test in January and would love to create a study group if anyone lives in Oahu!! Let me know <3

I have been studying very lightly the last two months, and as I get closer to my test date, I want to start structuring my study better. The issue is, I don't know how to properly integrate the core curriculum into my studies. I currently aim to take one PT every week or two, and I spend my time in between working on my wrong answer journal and drilling LR and RC sections (For reference purposes my most recent PT was a 170, and my average is 164). Unfortunately, I have barely touched the core curriculum because I feel as if the "foundations" section isn't super helpful to me where I am right now. I don't know how to utilize the curriculum so I don't use it, and I feel like I'm missing out on a lot of helpful content. Should I jump ahead in the planned path? Should I just push through the entire curriculum? I want to make sure I am getting the most value from my time, and the resources available. Does anyone have any advice/insights? Thanks!

Adding this here aswell lol. Just consulted with a law school admissions "expert" who told me even though I have a bachelors and masters in criminal justice (i plan to go into public service/ criminal law) and 4.0 LSAC GPA that i have absolutely no chances of getting into my target schools part time programs (highest is ranked 63rd and lowest ranked in the 100s so not t20 or anything) because my LSAT is significantly poor especially in comparison to my transcripts. i also have 2 years of work experience in the legal field as a paralegal. she told me to basically throw my whole app away and wait until next cycle to apply.

do i take the january lsat and apply later in the cycle? i have all my other materials set. is january even considered late for part time programs with march/april/may/june deadlines? any input helps!

Hi guys, does anyone know how to reset your drilling pool, mine keeps saying only "Selecting from 1,145 of 2,538 questions in your drill pool" and my drills consist of only level 5 questions when i'm trying to focus on level 1 and 2

I have a question regarding LSAC’s GPA calculation. I completed a Bachelor’s degree in Communications in 2017, and later earned a Bachelor of Laws degree in 2025. I am based in Vietnam—not the United States—and I am planning to apply to U.S. law schools for a J.D. program.

When submitting transcripts to LSAC, am I allowed to submit only the transcript for my Law degree and exclude the transcript for my Communications degree, since the GPA for that earlier degree is relatively low? Or does LSAC require that I report all undergraduate coursework completed across different degrees?

Reyes Aguilar and Jake Baska dive into one of the great ghost stories of the law school admissions process—yield protection. What is it? Is it real—like “real” real? What’s the difference between yield protection and admissions officers just being selective? And most importantly, how can you avoid this trap?

Anxiously waiting for my November LSAT results in about a week. IM NERVOUS

Two problems with the suggested timing distributions for RC. I've attached two screenshots to illustrate this

1) Suggested timing inconsistency: If you total up the suggested time for each of my questions individually, I'd be at around -0:06, but the overall recommended pace in the second screenshot says I'm actually -00:51. Which one is the real suggested time?

2) Way too little time recommended for the passage: If i had a dollar for every time somebody told me to slow down on the passage and focus on retention, I'd actually be able to afford law school. Point is, the consensus seems to be that the best strategy is around 3-4 minutes (minimum) on the passage, and try to blitz through the questions. But as you can see here, having spent 3:44 on the passage I'm being told I spent almost 2 whole minutes more than I'm supposed to have used. Granted this is a 4 star passage and I was pretty slow overall, but still, this was not a passage I could've gotten through in just 2 minutes and expect to retain any info.

Maybe there's some setting I'm unaware of which lets me tweak the suggested timing based on my strategy, and if so please let me know. Otherwise I’d really appreciate any clarification on how these suggested timings are calculated.

need some motivation....took the lsat twice in 2023 and got 130's. started taking it seriously last august and took the november 2024 lsat and scored a 146 even though i was scoring mid 150's on PT's. i took a break and re started studying this september. scoring 157+ on my PTS. but im fluctuating. some drills and sections are great and others are terrible. i dont know whats not clicking. my confidence dictates my studying. every bad drill and section really crushes my motivation and makes me want to give up. is this not for me? i know im capable and im the only one in control of all of this. but i need some tips on what can really set me up for success. i suffer from bad anxiety, and i feel that it really effects me on the test day. somedays i really want to give up after this long journey that i started in 2023....

Anyone here in Calgary or Alberta area? Looking for study buddy or tutor or just someone that would like to bounce ideas off each other. I'm planning on writing in Feb 2026.

Unsure if someone has already asked this, but as a student who will have taken multiple years between graduating undergraduate and starting law school, when a law school application asks about "an interruption of six months or more in your education," should we discuss/explain gaps years between undergrad and law school?

Thanks!

Hi! I live in the city and would love to join up with some people every other week or so to go over LSAT questions, strategy, etc. on the weekends. I'm aiming for 170+ (ideally mid 170s) and trying to take it in February. Let me know if you're interested!
