So I’m taking the LSAT tomorrow, my last official PT score was a 160 (my goal score) and I have just been feeling so incredibly nervous this entire week. Last time I took the official test I scored a 155 because I was so anxious and panicked, so I ended up guessing and it was like all my work went out the window, and I really don’t want that happening now. I also took an RC section yesterday and got a 17/26 so I’m slightly panicked at what if the same thing happens or for some reason the actual test is harder and I just panic even more.
I scored a 151 on my diagnostic, but after learning the entire core curriculum, doing blind reviews, and going into depth on why my answers are wrong, I am still scoring in the low 150s. I took an untimed test and scored in the low 160s (which is better) but I thought I had more knowledge of the lsat than that. Progress just feels super slow, and I think I’m getting to a point where it’s really the frustration that’s making me lose hope. Anyone else in a similar position?
When I blind review/ scrutinize a question to understand where I went wrong, I find it somewhat distracting to go back and forth from the question, pen and paper notes, and typing on my computer (particularly with grammar and conditional reasoning)
Does anyone know the tools or software JY and Kevin use when explaining questions?
The section time is skewed a bit because I had answered a few questions in class, then began it on my personal computer. Outside of that though, I missed one! The progress has been slow but steady. I usually miss 6-7 questions. Seeing such changes is super motivating and exciting. The hard part now is to keep it going! I wish everyone the best of luck on their studying and tests!! Stay Swag 💯💯
Hi everyone I just recently came back to studying for the LSAT again, and I tried the new AI feature after reviewing a drill. It told me this:
"Since this was an untimed drill (Unlimited), I recommend skipping Blind Review for future untimed practices. Without a timer, your first pass is already your untimed best! You can just submit the drill and go straight into reviewing your incorrect answers."
I've always done BR for everything, and I never realized that what the AI said is kinda true. Do other people also skip BR for untimed drills? Is it more helpful to skip BR to tackle more drills or do you still do BR because it is more helpful that way?
The interface has changed so much in the past few weeks, I'm not even surprised if they actually made this change 3 days before the August exam. Not sure if my LawHub is just glitching.
Also (as a general rant), the LawHub UI is so infuriating! They promised they'd be done rolling out changes in June and yet keep making new awful changes so so close to the test :(
every time i try to play an explanation video it plays for 1-2 mins before the side window disappears and I have to click on it to open again. The discussion tab does the same thing, I can only read a sentence or two before the side tab goes away and I have to reopen it. Does anyone know how to fix this? I'm about to go back to lsat demon because it is getting so annoying and taking up so much time. is it a wifi issue? a spyware issue from lsat writing? I'm so frustrated
I recently posted I didnt do well on an exam and the day afterwards I was disappointed so I was like I can't go out like this and I did a practice test to prove I could do better. The first test I got a 153. The second 159. The test I took two weeks ago was a 158. I did worse than usual on my RC so several reasons on the test I got a 153 so I want to give myself grace but I dont want to ever score in the early or mid 150s anymore. I want to start scoring in the 160s to so I can get a very good score by October l. I guess just writing my thoughts for the test I got a 159. I only got 2 incorrect in one section. So its in me
Yo, I have been studying the LSAT since last year. I started June last year, went somewhat consistently for about a month and a half and then dropped it. I picked it up again heavily around february, stopped again after about a month and have been going at it actually consistently since beginning of June. I've increased around 7 points in total since I have started. I have done over 700+ questions and many, many hours. I just cannot seem to get past a curve that I dont even know where it begins. Im at the point now, with such a low score, that I am not even sure if this test is even feasbile for me to even continue to do. Applying with my current score (around 155) is not worth it in my eyes.
Right now, I am drilling with timed and untimed, doing review journals, did another course outside of 7sage, and have been trying a lot. I am not sure if anyone else has encountered something like this before, but I would love to hear if you are currently here and especially if you got out of a spot like this. For me, I really want to get a higher score, but I do not even think its feasible...
Any tips, advice, or anything like that is needed.
I'd like to know I'm not alone on just struggling in this regard. Studying exhausts my work brain, and my work brain exhausts my study brain, don't know what to do about it at this point. I'm married and while I don't have kids, I have until recently been dealing with a lot of problems with my family too. My tests next month but I'm stuck 3 points below my goal score on my most recent PTs and don't know how to progress. And while I'm happy for the community, it can get very discouraging logging in and seeing people posting about their 178-180 PT scores.
I remember hearing in the 7sage podcast that, at least, fulltime work while applying is a powerful soft factor and that's my sole consolation.

I'm curious what others would do in this situation.
I'm trying to decide between taking the October or November LSAT. October would let me submit my applications earlier, but November gives me another month to improve. My concern is that November scores don't come out until December 2, and I'm worried that may be too late for rolling admissions.
If you were in my position, would you prioritize applying earlier with October or wait for a potentially stronger score in November?
Hello everyone,
My performance between timed and untimed practice is pretty night and day, almost 10 point difference. The interesting thing is that I am taking the same amount of time to answer questions on both my untimed and timed. Anyone else struggle with obsessing/worrying over the time? What has helped you to overcome this?
I am taking the September 2026 test and am scoring in the high 160s. My goal is to score in the 170s. Currently, I feel a little lost in my studying with where I am. I realized I don't have many full fresh PTs left, so I have not been taking them regularly, and I also feel like I may be running low on fresh questions for my drills, especially for my high-priority question types. As a result, I feel like I have not been making much progress or utilizing my time effectively. For context, this upcoming test would be my last time taking the LSAT. Does anyone have any suggestions or tips on direction? Anything is appreciated!
Realistically, how often are you diagramming conditional logic or formal logic during timed LR sections?
I understand how to diagram, but with only about 1:20–1:25 per question, I often feel like stopping to diagram costs me too much time. Most of the time I only diagram if I think I have extra time, which honestly isn't very often.
For those consistently scoring in the mid/high 160s or 170s:
Do you diagram almost every conditional question?
Only on the hardest ones?
Or have you trained yourself to do most of it mentally?
I'm trying to figure out whether I should force myself to diagram more or whether getting faster at recognizing the logic mentally is the better long-term strategy. I'd love to hear what actually worked for you.
I have been consistently getting a 169 on my last four pts, before that I have scored in the low 170s before. I am trying to get into the low 170s but I don't know what I'm doing wrong! I can manage a -0/-1 on LR/RC during sections and intense drilling. But every time I improve on a certain area, I tend to regress on others I was much stronger in! I'm just trying to keep my LR/RC scores the same on sections vs full PTs. I'm planning on taking the August test and this recent plateau is very disappointing. tips?
Hi I am studying for the October exam. I just took a practice test I am stuck in the high 140s. I am trying to push to get over the hump. On my drills I am getting only 1-2 wrong but I can’t see to transfer it into my practice test. Help?? Any suggestions.
Going into the June LSAT I was averaging around 167 and ended up getting a whopping 159. I had never scored this low before. I knew that I was extremely anxious going into the exam (I panicked in the first section which didn’t help) and I had definitely been overworking myself (I took six PTs in the two weeks going into my exam), but I didn’t expect that large of a score drop.
I changed my studying routine going into August and have emphasized quality over quantity. I’m averaging around 170 and my last two PTs were 171. But I’m still very worried that I’m going to see another massive score drop this August LSAT. I have a hard time believing it was just a fluke. And I feel like I really need to take some measures to combat test anxiety going into this exam. Any advice? I’m putting so much weight onto this exam and the ptsd from last exam is getting to me lol.
Hi everyone! I have a question about LOR. I had a professor who I established a good and strong relationshipwith, who told me that he would be willing to write my letter of recommendation. He told me it would be completed by a certain date. I looked at the CAS application on LSAC and I saw that he did not open the link. Mind you this was back in May and he confirmed with me that he received it. I tried to follow up with him multiple times with no success. I asked another professor who was my fellowship leader who I also had multiple coffee chats with and he only read my message and did not respond to me. I am wondering, I should just get two professional LOR? Any advice would be great.
Hi, wondering which personal statement route to take. On one hand I can write about my legal experience and why law school is my next professional step, or I can right something about one of my hobbies and transform it into something that tells my story in a totally different and creative way. Is there a preference for admissions?
Hi! I am currently scoring in the low 160s but in the mid 170s in BR. I'm looking for someone that is scoring in the 140s and low 150s and wanting to help them. Message below or me if you are interested!
Hey, just joined and I am using Chrome, but when I click on adaptive drill my screen looks really weird and overlaps and I can't click the x button nor can I see the full question. Any ideas or help?
