I'm not sure if I should apply this year with my LSAT score, my stats are that I have a 155 LSAT and 3.59 GPA, which I know isn't the worst but I also know that it significantly limits my options for law schools. My top picks are University of Oregon and Lewis and Clark, or Loyola in CA, but I'm not sure if I should apply this year or study and apply next year with a 160+ score. I do want to go to law school as soon as possible though, but I'm not sure if my stats are good enough.

Hi, I am looking to start an in-person study group in the DMV area. Specifically the Maryland area. I would like it to be in-person and we meet up at least once a week to study together.
Hey all,
We want to make our analytics even better, and we need to hear from you. Do you look at the bar charts of "Accuracy" vs. "Expected accuracy" on the Priorties by tag page?
If so, how often? How important are they? What do you think they mean?
Is there a way to export our analytical data? I would like to use ChatGPT to review my analytics and drive a new study path for myself in 7sage. I cannot wait for this development to hit your platform. I have 8weeks to LSAT.
Hi,
I am planning to take the LSAT in November and am looking to find an accountability partner with buckling down. I am in the Washington, DC area and would love to do a combination of virtual study sessions during the work week and in person study sessions on either Saturday or Sunday. If you’re interested please let me know :)
Hi! Just gauging the interest here to see if anyone would be interested in a Discord study group for full-time workers. If you already have one though, please send a link! Thanks.
I didn't make the Discord since there's an existing one: Join here https://discord.gg/ejnVuXyV
Hi everyone, if anyone is interested in a virtual study group, it doesnt matter where you are from! either respond to this comment or just send me a message and i will add you to the chat!
I had the worst situation happen yesterday. I was taking the test on my Microsoft Surface Pro (looking back I probably should have realized not the best system). I had run all the system checks and passed. I logged on to take my test and my computer froze when I went to do the ID verification. I still had a few minutes so I rebooted and relogged in. I got through the room scan just fine and they popped up the chat box. Before I had time to tell them that I couldn't write in the chat box they put me in a breakout room waiting for the new proctor.
The new proctor came in and I couldn't see what they were typing in the chat box. I told them I couldn't see it and that I couldn't type in the chat box. They opened up the LSAC system and I logged on but nothing showed a test or what to do. I was asking the proctor to come off mute, repeating that I couldn't see their chat or type in the chat. I started messing around in the LSAT tab trying to find the test (probably not a good idea, but I was panicking). I hung up, freaked out a lot, calmed down and called LSAC and told them what happened.
I am rescheduled for the October exam and have asked for it to be in person, but no guarantee that there will be a testing center in my area. So I went out and bought an actual laptop.
I am still worried that I have missed something and do not know where to go to find the test and could have the same problem in October. Should the test have immediately come up? Should the proctor been able to speak? I know that I should be able to type in chat and see their chat.
Hi! I was recently approved for accommodations due to a medical condition. I will not be required to take the variable/experimental section of the exam.
For PTs do you all recommend I skip the experimental or should I take it regardless since its not a part of my score? I'm worried if I take it in the middle of the exam the score won't be reflective of my testing experience.
Show me which ones I missed on BR when I'm reviewing the test! Right now it only shows red X for those that I missed originally, and nothing about BR in the Q list at the bottom. Especially important for if I get one right then change it to wrong in BR it's still a green dot in the drill/test review, I have to leave the review and go to the drill summary to find the ones I changed to incorrect in BR. Ideally this wouldn't ever ever ever happen, but I am not the ideal test taker (trust me I know). Those are definitely Qs I need to review since I obviously don't understand them.
When you do a drill, it would be awesome if it would give me the appx LSAT score that it correlates with. Or have somewhere the conversion from raw % out of 100 to LSAT score. I know it's not exactly how it works, but it helps me get a sense of how I'm doing in LSATese.
Just some thoughts + unsolicited opinions based on my last couple weeks of studying. I <3 7sage!
How predictive is a practice score on an older LSAT (i.e. 127) vs a newer one (i.e. 158)? Is the correlation generally weaker the older the test is?
I've read that older practice exams tend to have easier RC sections, but if you do really well on 127, is there reason to think that will translate to test day? Or should you focus on recent exams to diagnose your likely score?
So I've been studying for the LSAT since May, and after taking the test in August and not scoring well I am back to the drawing board. I began restudying about 2 weeks ago and while I already feel like I'm understanding the test even more this time around, but I want to make sure I am maximizing my study time so that I am actually making progress that translates to increases in my score. 2-3 weeks leading up the the August LSAT I felt really stuck. I was making no progress in my score and it felt like I was doing all I could, but not seeing any results in terms of a score increase.
That said, does anyone have any tips for studying the 2nd time around? Is there anything I should be doing differently? I want to make sure I am getting something out of every study session so that I can start seeing increases in my score.
Hi all - looking for some motivated study buddies currently PTing in the 155 - 165 range looking to break through 170 by Nov.
I am on east coast time (DC-area) and my consistent study windows are 5am - 7am and 8pm - 9pm during the week, flexible on the weekends.
I envision we could:
Select a drill set to work on in-between meet-ups and blind review together
Complete entire sections and blind review solo, then come together to review outstanding questions we have / provide our own explainers to one another
Work through some problem sets real time
Let me know what you think! We've got this! We can do hard things! If interested- please message me direct for further coordination.
PS: Not that it matters, but so you know what to expect, I am a 35F with a full-time job and kids.
Hi everyone! I’m looking for a study buddy for the LSAT in the Miami area so we can motivate each other to stay focused and give it our all. Let’s push each other to succeed!
Why can't we have priorties by tag based on our drills performance, rather than just based on our prep tests performace?
My high school had a program with the community college that we could take classes there for high school class credit. Do I list that institution or not? The classes appeared on my high school transcript, not a college one. However, I was technically enrolled as a student, though I'm actually not sure if I was considered a student of the college or not. I heard that they're strict about this kind of stuff when it comes to background checks so I wanted to ask.
edit - our school had AP classes, it was separate from that. The purpose of the program was for kids who finished the science curriculum at my school including AP to take even more advanced classes because we were required to take science every year and we were all nerds who tested out of a bunch of stuff. It appeared on my high school transcript as essentially a regular high school class, but I was in the college's system and had a guest email and log in so it feels like a grey area
I'm locking in my school list atm and am confused on how my chances for Berkeley and Boston are so different given that they both have similar median LSAT and GPA. Is it purely based on class size?
I am taking the exam in September. I have been studying non-stop for the last three months. Consistently been getting between 169-173 for the last two months.
Everything was going well, until I took a practice exam last Saturday and did so poorly it devastated me. I thought it was a one-off, but I took another today and same exact result. I am spiraling psychologically––this exam, for me, is a huge psychological challenge; I don't understand what about it is so personal but I am spiraling.
Psychologically, I feel I have hit a wall. Three weeks out, I'm sure mentally I am going to keep making mistakes, and I'm looking at the questions I got wrong and I genuinely do not understand what is happening––the answers I chose seem, objectively, correct. My wrong answer journal is blank because the questions seem like they are the problem.
I don't know what to do, or how to proceed. This is not just a one-off, this is psychologically leading me into study free fall. I will not get a chance to study or take the LSAT again like now. If I don't do well now, knowing myself and my work and study schedule, I have no chance again. I don't know what to do and need assistance.
HELLO, I JUST STARTED STUDYING FOR THE LSAT AND WANTED TO SEE IF ANYONE WAS INTERESTED IN BEING A STUDY BUDDY?
hi everyone! is anyone interested in starting a study group? I'm taking the test in October but I want to get as much study time as I can. I'm in the Los Angeles county area!
Hi! I need to find a study group to keep each other accountable and just motivate each other but also review together. I am currently scoring in the low 160s and taking the October test. I am in the DC area, so if anyone else is close by message me!
My first diagnostic was a 165, and after months of studying I'm still averaging 168. I've gotten a few PTs between 170-174, but I'm really consistently getting 168s. I feel so stuck! Is this just how it is when you're trying to get 170+? Do I just need to drill more of the question types I'm stuck on? More time on wrong answer journaling? What's been helping you the most?
I am officially registered for the November LSAT. WHOSE COMING WITH ME!??!
I just took PT 148 Section 1 and I'm very confused with question 21. It reads:
No occupation should be subject to a licensing requirement unless incompetence in the performance of tasks normally carried out within that occupation poses a plausible threat to human health or safety.
'No' is a negated necessary indicator & 'unless' is a negated sufficient indicator. The curriculum says when encountering these it doesn't matter if you put the term as the necessary or sufficient condition because of the contrapositive. But, when you have both indicators that surely can't be the case as this question proves. If the curriculm covers how to handle conditional statement with both kinds of indicators I missed it.
So my question is, how do you handle these? Do you just need to use intuition to figure out which term goes in the sufficient/necessary spots? Do you prioritize one indicator over the other? Or do the indicators cancel each other out and you proceed as if they never existed?
The diagram for this questions is
If subject to licensing agreement (LR) → Incompetence poses threat (IPT)
(Contra) /IPT → /LR
Does anyone know how to get a hold of someone to ask about live classes? I study mostly in the evening pretty late, and I was hoping to ask someone about getting different classes at night as they seem to rotate relatively similar classes.
Thanks!
