Hi! I'm located in the EST time zone and was looking for a study partner to meet virtually (or in person if you don't mind commuting in the Miami, FL area) to bounce ideas off of.

I'm currently scoring in the 160-170 range and would like to score 170+ on a more definite note.

I'd like to do some sections on our own time and come together to blind review them, or share questions that each other has been stuck on. I sometimes struggle to realize my own mistakes and want to bounce off different techniques that I may not currently be taking into account.

I currently plan to take the October LSAT - but open to any test dates that would like to study with me!

I'm also an LSAT instructor/tutor with 10+ years of private tutoring experience and five years of experience at a major test prep company, where I tutored one-on-one as well as taught in front of a classroom.

I have helped countless LSAT students achieve their law school goals. The LSAT can feel like an insurmountable challenge and is viewed as the predictive indicator of law school success. LSAT requires a way of thinking that might feel unfamiliar to most. It's not a test of intelligence - it is a test of pattern recognition and understanding of the structure of arguments. I help you study strategically so that you develop the skills you will need on test day, such as reading critically, inductive and deductive reasoning, and organizing evidence. I lay the foundation for the skills you will need to succeed in law school! My strength is identifying the techniques that will be most useful to you on test day and shoring up against weaknesses so you can attack the test with confidence. 

I also help craft graduate application essays, supplemental essays, law school application personal statements, and academic papers. I help with ideation, conceptualization, style, grammar, vocabulary, and structure. I guide, support, and help develop craft, de-stressing an often-fraught process.

Feel free to reach out! Happy to chat about where you are on your law school journey.

I just started the content for reading comprehension, and I have found it helpful so far to highlight as I am reading to differentiate between different perspectives, along with different parts of the essay, like the argument, reasoning, or evidence. Is this a common strategy? Or would it be too time-consuming to do on an actual exam?

To what extent do y'all highlight/underline in reading comprehension?

I wrote the lsat writing sample for my initial take, and I thought it was fine. Not my best, not my worst. Nothing glaring, but I have the time and energy to retake if it will differentiate me from similar gpa/lsat applicants. That said -- I would love to wait and see my lsat score before I go ahead and rewrite; if I did great, I won't rewrite. If I did the same, then I would like to.

Does anyone know if I'm able to write an additional LSAT writing portion after receiving my score report given I have a writing sample already on file, or do I waive my ability to rewrite once score-release passes?

I'm also under the impression that if I decide on tuesday, for example, to rewrite and I have one written portion pending, but the other from last year reviewed that I will still see my score. Right?

Appreciate any feedback!

I'm registered for the September LSAT (took April) and I'm doing fine on sections (anywhere from -5 to -3 usually) and when I drill specific question types that I struggle with on the sections on their own, I usually get 100% correct! I think it might just be a stamina issue? I do worse typically on full length tests than on individual sections which is why I think that might be the problem. I don't struggle with time (usually end with around 5-6 minutes that I use to review difficult questions).. lmk if anyone has any advice/tips that I could use to nail this down in the next couple weeks!

From what i understand, for international applicants that have less than 60 US credit hours, LSAC does not report the GPA impact on the median. First of all is this correct? How do admission comitees evaluate the normally would be splitters (higher LSAT lower GPA), since the GPA factor becomes a bit ambiguous. How is the general evaluation of such applicants?

Hey all,

As I finish up my essays for this cycle, my current focus is on the 'why x' essay, probably one of the most important supplementals. I'm wondering what y'all believe makes for a good why x. I know it's a bad idea to just regurgitate the website, and I was planning on doing a 'here are my values/goals, here's resources/clinics/etc you have that match those, here's what I'll do with them."

Thoughts?

Looking like I won't get off the waitlist and will have to take the LSAT again in October and reapply. Came from Blueprint. Anyone else with a similar journey?

Why do they keep flip flopping back and forth without any logic?

Should anyone affected by this just wait this cycle out?

When writing your personal statements, is it adviced to include or avoid contractions?

For context, I'm having trouble fitting all of my content into the character limits, and using the contractions would help the statement fit in the limits but also 'read' smoother/easier for the reader.

Any clarity or suggestions would be appreciated, thanks!

Can we please bring back drill links attached to live classes?

They used to be linked for every live class until June. Thank you!

I think more specificity/stats on the analytics page in general would be helpful. However, one thing that I think would be really cool to have on the analytics page is more insight into different question types. I know you can see your accuracy over a certain time period, but I'd love to see a chart on whether I've improved/regressed on a specific question type over time. Also, maybe more stats on which question types I tend to spend the most time on, which ones I BR the most, which ones I switch answers on the most, etc. I think this could be helpful for people to know so they can really focus their studying, recognize their (maybe bad) habits, and ultimately improve in these areas.

Hi y’all!

Looking for people in the Dallas area to study alongside on weekends, in person. Not a class or a group lesson, just a set time and place to show up, work on our own stuff, and help each other out when someone’s stuck.

Where I’m at: low 160s, goal is 171+, testing February 2027. Working through the 7Sage Comprehensive study plan.

What I’d be working on: the study plan, drills, blind review, and law school application materials.

When: Saturday and Sunday, a few hours each. Mornings work best for me but I’m open.

Where: somewhere with tables and decent wifi. I’m in North Dallas, so anywhere around Dallas, Plano, Addison, Frisco, Garland would be good. Open to suggestions.

If you’re up this way and want the accountability, comment or message in thw group chat.

Congratulations to our August Community Lottery winners!

Is it too late to take the November LSAT and apply this cycle? Will it significantly affect scholarships?

Hi all, I got an email saying I am registered for the September LSAT, but I didn't sign up for this, nor did I pay for it.... has anyone else gotten similar emails? Are they doing this for all August LSAT takers?

I’m currently at 156, and I’m struggling badly with conditional reasoning/flaw questions! Does anyone have any tips? I’ve already read The Loophole, and I study two hours a day and mostly dedicate that time to CR….

So I started a study plan at at the beginning of this month, with my test date on Oct. 10. I'm budgeting 7 hours/week of studying on 7Sage (I realize this is less time than what's recommended to prep for the LSAT, but it's what I can commit to).

7Sage put me in the "Minimal" study plan path, with 3 weeks of lessons and 5 weeks of practice.

I just spent the last 11 days going through the LR fast track, in accordance with the study plan. Then I moved onto RC, but to my surprise the RC section in my study plan is only 2 hours, with a full six days of nothing to study before I'm supposed to start Practice on Aug 25....

I realize I can go through any lesson in the lesson library at any time - so my question is, what do people recommend I study for the next week or so until my practice is supposed to start? All I've gone through is the LR fast track vids and The 7Sage RC Method. FYI, I'm also reading through the LSAT Trainer right now.

Hi everyone! I have been studying for the LSAT for the last 6 months and have found difficulties in breaking into the 160s. My test is upcoming in October so I was looking for tutoring to gain some feedback on my approach to questions and tips to improve. I have been increasingly studying for the exam over the last few months after balancing it with school and work during the school year and feel diminishing returns from my studies! After my PTs, the correct acs seem clearer to me which is frustrating. Please let me know if anyone currently has space!

General Info-

Age: 20 about to turn 21

Lsat PT scores: 152

GPA: 3.5

Internship/volunteer work: 4

Full time job for over 3-4 years.

Making this post is kind of a difficult but I don't know where else to turn to since it feels like reddit thread users are annoyed when asking for advice and no one I know really went to law school. I graduated with my Bachelors pretty early (finished in 2.5 years). I never actually dedicated any time on doing LSAT prep during that time because of work, internships, and what not. After graduating this spring I honestly thought that I would have enough time to maybe bring up my score but it looks like it's going to probably take more time than what I had wished for initially.

I'm not sure if it's even relevant but I am also 20 years old and the few friends and family members who have gone to grad school are telling me to take it slow as it may be hard on my head.

My practice tests keep telling me that I'm getting a 152 score and it feels like I'm just sort of stuck right now. I have probably pushed my test so far back that it looks like my best chance is probably doing the test on November, but then I keep calculating that it's a far reach to apply in December.

I guess what I need advice on is whether I should just wait on applying or still go for it? I don't even want to go to a big law school, I genuinely just want to go to a law school and have wanted to be an attorney ever since I was a kid.

The other consideration is how the schools I want to apply to have really high applications and law schools are becoming way more competitive than before.

What do you guys think? Should I spend money on these applications with my score being this low?

Hi all! I wanted to share something that might be useful to some of my fellow 7Sagers. It may sound a little ridiculous, but hear me out.

Flaw questions have always been one of my biggest struggles. While most of my progress is obviously due to studying, one unexpected thing that has helped me is the TV show, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

It has always been one of my comfort shows, especially when I want to relax my brain after studying. At some point, though, I noticed that the characters are constantly getting into ridiculous arguments, making outrageous claims, and otherwise acting irrationally, or, you can even say, illogically. I think you can see where I’m going with this . . .

While watching, I began trying to identify the flaws in their reasoning, pinpoint the unwarranted assumptions they are making, or predict how another character will respond to an argument. It might sound hectic, but it has made retaining and applying these concepts much more enjoyable. Since I started doing this, I’ve noticed an improvement in both my understanding of flaws and my overall performance on my question sets.

That said, I would not recommend accidentally binging an entire season under the guise of “studying” (which I definitely have never done). I also wouldn’t recommend doing this while watching with friends unless you want to have fewer friends in the long run.

I really want to close this gap. I also need help feeling confident in my answers and just going on

Was wondering if anyone has any tips or methods they use for RC. My score seems to be getting worse for RC and I just wonder if there's some other methods/approaches I should try for RC. Would LOVE any advice.
