Dear crew:

I would like to start out that I enjoy working on all types of RC passages and prefer to work on the hardest. Science and law passages are my most favorite. But there is ONE passage type that is an absolute disaster for me in terms of the # of missed questions, and applying the study advice is making it worse. -The jargon rich medical passages.

I am supposed to pay attention to the structure of the passage, do my lo-res summaries and not memorize the medical lingo. Yea. That's not working for me. If I do attempt to memorize the medical terms I do bad, if I don't I might as well not even bother.

At this point I fear I will have to just hope one of this monsters does not appear on the test and I hate to leave anything to hope.

Does anyone have any advice? Anything I could try?

Please help me slay the beast! 🙏🏼

Thank you.

Hello everyone, I recently paused my Live subscription prior to my second payment because I was unsure if I would renew. I have not had access because my month of subscription ran out so everything has been moved to free. However, when I hit downgrade to the Core subscription it says that it will come into effect on November 25th when my live subscription is up. However, I do not have any live subscription now because it ran out. Does anyone have any information on how I can resolve the issue? Thank you.

HI all! I recently got my October LSAT score, and I got a 165. I am pleased with this score, as I know it is a great score, but I think for the schools I want to go to, I need a little higher. I am signed up to take the November LSAT in about two weeks, and I want to know if it is a realistic goal to want a 167 on this upcoming test. My goal going into all of this was a 170, but I think two weeks out, that is too much, and I have a really strong GPA and URM, so I think I can lower my goal to 167. Is this realistic tho? For two weeks? 165 -> 167? Does anyone have any last-minute tips? I have been in a mid 160s plateau for some time now and i need the extra two points.

Anything helps!

Hello guys! I am planning to apply by the end of November for this law school cycle and I am feeling very stressed about my personal statement. I think I have done at least 5 drafts and I still don't think its good enough. Is there any life changing advice you all were given that you think would help me?

For some context, my most recent draft discusses about my reason why through some experiences. I start off with the concept of what it means to be the "best" and use that throughout my essay. I use some experiences, being diagnoised with ADHD as well to show my reslience and self critisim. I make sure to connect these experiences throughout my life to larger systematic structures Ive started to notice in society. I also mentioned my internship in New Zealand, and some orgs at my college I was involved in which reflected on how I began to see how systems in law reflect and reinforce those social hierarchies. My essay focuses on how these realizations inspired me to study law to deepen my understanding of how societal systems function and how they can be changed as well.

I feel like this is too much or that I need to change something. I would greatly appreciate any support and help!

Hey y'all,

I'd like to request a feature. I recently got destroyed by a single passage in RC and wanted to ask "What if I got them all correct instead?"

LSAT Demon has a score calculator but 7Sage doesn't. I'd love some "What if" tools in analytics to explore implications and have it recalculate my score.

Finished Core Curriculum about a month ago and haven’t touched LSAT stuff since. I’ve got my first PT scheduled in two days and not sure what I should do to get back into the right mindset.

Should I review some fundamentals (LR question types, reading comp timing) or just go straight into the PT cold to see where I’m at after the break?

Also, any tips for easing back into studying after some time off? I don’t want to burn out right before I start back up again.

Hi friends, my LSAT score fears came true. After 15 weeks of studying and averaging a 165 (scores ranging from 164-170 with a diagnostic of 157), I scored a 158 on the real thing. I was honestly expecting a 160 as I was trying to keep my expectations low, and boy was I shocked! I felt calm and collected during my exam and everything felt normal. I am genuinely confused.

My main issue is that I have taken the LSAT a whopping 3 times before this Oct exam. I took a new approach this year and was finally scoring near my goal (165). I thought this time would be different. Do I dare take it a 5th time? Feeling embarrassed to ask.

Finally, as some background. My goal school admits around 162-168. So, I am very close.

Hello - this is a miserable cry for help after scoring very low in the recent PTs. I am planning to take the Nov LSAT in 2 weeks, and I am nowhere near my score, after studying for 5 months.

I am a student with average timed PT score of 156-159 (I have only one time reached 160, which was my highest). I have started studying for LSAT from this June (though was quite light on it throughout July), then started really working in August. On average, I studied about 3-4 hours a day, 6 days a week.

For 3 months, I've been doing either an LR section or an RC section per day, with one PT a week. For PTs, I always did blind review (which gave me around 167). For every question that I get wrong, I would thoroughly describe it in my wrong answer journal (so far have 700 questions written in WAJ).

The problem is, I've been focusing on PT 120 - 140s, and have just moved onto doing PT 150s, and I've been consistently scoring 156, from my usual score of 159 in the previous older PTs. I am aiming for a score of 166, and I am 10 points away, which is quite huge.

I am so frustrated to not see any improvements, and I am lacking self-esteem at this point. I usually do much better at LR than RC. I have trouble understanding the overall context in RC, as English is my second language, and this has also been destroying my confidence.

Are there any tips on how I should study for the next 2 weeks? I tend to be failing in various types of questions so I don't even know where to start drilling from, or how I should drill (and would drilling help in the 2-week timeframe?) If I fail the Nov exam, I am planning to take the January exam, but I honestly don't know if I could increase my score by then as well... I just feel so stupid.

Hi! I was planning on taking the November LSAT and applying for law schools next cycle. I honestly was thinking of the November one as more of a preliminary/trial run to see how I do. My goal is above a 173 long term, so I was thinking of taking it again in the spring.

BUT my cousin recently told me that some schools, specifically T14 schools, will average out your LSAT scores or at least take them into consideration. I am averaging out at a 164 on practice exams right now. Is this true that they average/care about ALL your scores??? If so, should I just withdraw from November LSAT and/or reschedule for January so I can possibly get a better score the first time around?

Other info: 3.87 GPA from Penn, class of 2023, looking at T14 schools

Took October LSAT for the first time and scored seven points below my usual score. I didn't have accommodations for the October test but I do for November. My confidence has taken a nose dive and I'm really unsure about how well I'll do on the November test.

My goal was to have apps done by end of November. Would January be considered too late for priority admission? Is there anything else I can do?? I've always been bad at standardized tests and got an ADHD diagnosis as an adult. I do work full-time which has historically gotten in the way of my studying. Feeling hopeless :/

Hey y'all! I'm looking for a accountability partner/study buddy/study group in the North Dallas area (I'm near Plano but willing to drive). I took the LSAT in July but decided I wanted to retest next year since I only spent about 2 months studying. I scored a 155 but am aiming for at least a 10 point jump. Let's help keep each other on track!!

hey yall. so i think i waited too long to register for the remote test. the email says registration doesn't close until sunday, in one week, but there are no available times for any testing day.

anyone have experience with this? i called prometric and they said they'd be releasing more times tomorrow but i couldn't get any more information, just a suggestion to keep checking. which will work great as i'm at work for 10+ hours tomorrow.

i got a feeling i was just getting the brush off from prometric. so i'm wondering, has anyone been in my position? do they indeed release more available times or was that just to get me off the phone? how often should i be checking the scheduler? any advice in general?

important edit 10/27 10:13am

this morning I set up a thirty minute timer to check for more availabilities and sure enough after a couple tries i snagged my ideal time and date for a remote test.

so yes to answer my own question: keep trying!

I am wondering if anyone knows how Columbia views ED applicants, more specifically how it may impact one's chance of giving in I will applying with my 170, and a 3.93 GPA. Columbia's medians are 173 and 3.92.

Also, I am wondering if I do choose to ED-- whether I should write my essays differently/ explain why I chose to ED Columbia specifically

I was wondering if anyone has any tips on how to approach the test. I am horrible at test taking and get really nervous. I want to take my LSAT in 2026 before the summer and want to score above a 160 and I scored a 155 on a practice. But with the dates approaching I hit a slump and have been missing questions I would normally get correct.

I think its the nerves of taking the exam and getting it out the way but I was wondering if people had advice on how to deal with this and or test taking advice in general.

I would appreciate any help

Hi All - I'm sure there's already been posts about this but I wasn't able to find any discussions. I'm in the process of getting out my applications had a question on how admissions officers are treating the use of AI with personal statements and optional essays.

I'm asking because I just wrote out a quick draft of an optional essay and put it into Grammerly to see if it would be flagged as AI generated. Grammerly said it was 83% AI generated even though it was 0%. I then put in a paragraph that I had ChatGPT write and it said it was only 70% AI generated.

My concern is that schools are going to throw out my application because they use one of these tools that erroneously says my essay is AI. Does anyone have any insight into this? Obviously it's a very new problem.

Hi all! Feeling kind of frustrated and down because I'm seeing/hearing about all these people getting 180s on the October 2025 LSAT and it was disproportionately hard for me. I'd been PTing and drilling and consistently getting 173s and up and had almost a 10 point decrease. I'm wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience and how they addressed it/thoughts on possible explanations for such a massive discrepancy.

Note: this is not my first test administration and I typically test SUPER well! So very very confused haha.

Hi friends. I took the LSATS in August and got a 146. I studied for two straight months aggressively, retook it in October and got a 148. I'm extremely discouraged. I plan to take it again in January and apply for Fall 2026. Any advice when discouraged?
