I've been stuck at 154-160 for the past 2 months, but I'm determined to get out of it. I got a tutor, I've been reading the Loophole, I'm changing some of my strategies, I'm revisiting certain lessons, I took a week off, etc.

It would just be nice to hear from anyone who has gotten out of a plateau. It's possible, right? And what did you do differently to improve your understanding/execution of test questions?

Howdy! Anybody else nervous about the LSAT this October? Who else in the DFW area also taking it? #WeGotThis #HollerBack

hi! posted this on the new forum as well, but in case it didn't cross-post:

looking for some advice. in the past month and a half, i've scored 180, 180, 179, 173, 175, 171, 171. I feel like I've been studying just as hard and focusing on my weaknesses in the same way that brought me to those high initial scores. I'm not sure what I'm doing differently to account for the drop. I haven't been particularly stressed or overwhelmed, and nothing major has changed in my lifestyle. Maybe the PTs in the late 130s were just easier for me than the ones I'm taking in the 140s?

Has anyone experienced something similar, and do you have any advice? My test is in a month and I'd like to reach my full potential again.

Hi I'm taking the LSAT today and I'm planning on retaking it again maybe in January or mid 2026. I'm looking for a study buddy for accountability and also just to study together on EST timing! Preferably other students in the NYC area, I'm a senior in uni! Feel free to reach out here or on Discord: @mparis

Hi! I'm working full time and trying to maximize my studying, as I am taking the exam in November. My first timed diagnostic with no prior understanding of the test was 154 and then scored a 161 on a PT followed by a 155 on the next PT (I've been in it for only about a week). Since I have only 8 weeks to try and get into the high 160s, the goal would be a 171, I am looking for advice on how best to use this platform. From some reading, and exploring it sounds like best bet is to just drill, drill, drill and take PTs. Or, do you recommend going through some of the core curriculum? Has that helped people grasp questions they were missing? Because of my work, I'll only be able to dedicate 2 hours about 4 days a week and then one PT on the weekend.

i'm going for a november test date.

i took my diagnostic in june. i wanted to get a sense of where i'm at now, so i just took a second practice test. i still need to complete the core curriculum.

what's the best next step? do i blind review this PT first? i never blind reviewed my diagnostic (should you?). i know i struggle, perhaps mostly, with speed. would that help me get the best sense of where i need to focus, or should i just go back to focusing on the CC?

I'm looking for a new study partner for the November/January test. I study daily and have a flexible schedule. I'm in the PST time zone. Message me if interested.

Looking for a study buddy located in Ottawa, ON. Goal is 175.

Any joiners? Looking to take LSAT in January 2026, looking to chat and work on it with anyone. Weekday nights/weekends open :)

Hi everyone, I am hoping to take the November LSAT. If anyone is interested in creating a study group, where we can keep each other accountable and/or meet each other in person/virtually to work on anything we can help each other with, reply to this message, and I can create a groupchat!

Hello everyone, hope you are doing well.

I was wondering how people get the most out of 7sage? I have been going through the syllabus in the mornings before work and then doing practise drills in the afternoon. Should I be devoting all my time to finishing the syllabus first?

We heard from many of you that even after taking a Blind Review pass at the questions, you still want to see a clean version. So we built a "Clean" tab in the Review Tester. You can now toggle between three views: Clean; Actual take; and Blind Review.

just scored -8 on one section haven't scored -8 on a full test in over two months, taking test tomorrow. :|

Hiiiii! Is anyone near or around north Mississppi looking for a study partner? Message me!

I am in EST and scoring in the high to mid 160's hoping for 170+ by november. Looking for someone to study with. It would be 6-9 or around then. Anyone is welcome.

Plan is to do a timed section and review as a group and help explain what we see individually.

Thanks!

Hi! Is anybody in or near Chicago interested in studying together or being accountability buddies, or possibly starting a group? I am open to virtual and in person as well!

I see there’s a “free” ask admissions live video later today, in 30 minutes (2pm), but it’s still locked for core users. Either this wasn’t supposed to locked, or it wasn’t supposed to be [FREE]?

When I take my time to read through a passage and understand the question I can do well at answering correctly but I noticed when I try to increase my speed, I get nearly everything wrong. Any tips on how I should be training to increase answering speed while maintaining accuracy?

I took my lsat this past August and scored a 156. I have a 4.0 gpa.

I did not put as much time into it as I probably should have due to some extremely stressful life events this summer. Is this even a good score? Obviously I would be taking it again but I am debating deferring admissions for another year due to this score/life events. Im not necessarily trying to get a 180 or anything, but I think my goal would be maybe around 165-170. Thoughts? Is this do-able within the next few months? Thanks.

I am an upcoming senior looking to apply in the 2026 applicant pool. I have an LSAT coming up in Sep. and Oct. I got a late start because I was studying abroad last spring semester...so I have had May-Aug to study. My initial diagnostic exam was a 144 and after 3 months, 4 more practice exams, and a lot of rushing to complete core syllabus I have only improved each time by a point to a 148. I have just started doing constant drills of my weak spots. What else can I do to drastically jump my score to at least a 158! (I am not a great test taker and just trying to find what niche works best!)

Looking for recommendations and motivational stories to help

I can never get through all the questions in a timed section. Of the questions that I do answer, the majority of them are correct. So I don’t think my issue is accuracy as much as it is speed. Any recommendations on how I can get through the passages quicker and identify my target faster? I am experiencing this problem for both LR and RC

Looking for an accountability partner to do 1 RC passage daily. We’ll do it separately and then check answers together. Please message me if you’re seriously interested!

Hi! So I am having a bit of trouble. When I am taking timed practice, I constantly find myself between 2 answers (the answer I chose and the correct one). The correct answer is typicall my first choice and then I second guess myself and end up choosing the wrong answer. It has gotten so bad that in my blind reviews when I go back in and chose the answer I was in between I get a vast difference between my original score and my BR score (ex. -11 practice score and -3 Blind review score going back in and choosing my initial answer). How do I jump over this hurdle? How do I trust my instinct or make a decision between 2 very compelling answers or is this more of a mental block? Any and all feedback is welcomed.

I am taking the LSAT in October and November. I would love any advice for breaking over 160. I am not looking for any insane score jump but would love to go up at least a couple points before then.

Currently I am doing a timed section each day, one practice test a week, and wrong answer journaling each one.

I am taking actual LSAT this Saturday and was wondering if I should do my last practice test on 7Sage or directly on LSAC? Wondering if there is also any other advice in general about possible technical difficulties that can happen day of
