Looking for a study partner who has done PT 147 and wants to work through it together. I learn so much more hearing/giving explanations with someone rather than just making notes of my wrong answers. 6pm EST onwards tonight would be perfect!

I have found that a lot of the LR questions that I get wrong are the result of picking the wrong of two choices. I'm able to narrow the answer choices down to the two most popular choices, but I often end up picking the wrong of the two answers and then getting it right on the blind review. Any tips for picking the right answer when I have it narrowed down already?

Hey everyone, I'm Tanner. I went from a 151 to a 177 on the LSAT, and I now coach students privately through my practice, Tailored LSAT Coaching.

The core of my approach is using your 7Sage analytics and drill data to figure out exactly what's costing you points before we ever meet. Finding that is what lets students improve dramatically in a matter of weeks instead of months.

For example, one of my current students came in thinking she was weak at logical reasoning across the board. When I pulled up her analytics, the picture was much more specific — she was 0 for 6 on conditional reasoning questions but solid on almost everything else. Once we zeroed in on that one pattern instead of trying to improve "LR in general," she went from a 151 to hitting 168s within three weeks. Another student was scoring in the 172 range but kept losing his anticipated answer the moment he started reading answer choices. I gave him drills where he had to write down his anticipation before looking at the choices, which forced him to condense it into something concrete. After a week, it became ingrained and he no longer needed to write it down — he went from a 172 to a 176 in two weeks.

After every session, you get a follow-up email with your study plan for the week: drill types, difficulty levels, set sizes, and benchmarks for when to progress, plus mid-week check-ins. I also teach you how to diagnose your own mistakes so you get better at learning on your own. As one student put it: "He is the best kind of teacher: someone who teaches you how to fish by giving you the tools to learn on your own."

I work with students at every level, from first diagnostics to students in the 170s working on the last few points.

Sessions are $150/hour. Your first session is 50% off ($75). No packages, no commitments — week by week. Before our first session, we'll do a 15–25 minute consultation call so I can learn where you're at. Sessions are on Zoom, usually 90 minutes.

Letters of Recommendation

I have been graduated from college for a year now, headed into my second. I can not say that I have maintained any strong relationships with professors due to the fact that I almost always was at work. I would come to class and head straight to work. However, I did work for the Office of Admissions at my university and fostered really great connections with my supervisors.

My question is, would it be better to get a letter of recommendation from someone at my on-campus job, my job/internship at the law firm I currently work at, a past employer, my current mentor, or still try and obtain a professor's letter of recommendation.

I have really close personal/professional relationships with the above (minus the professor) and would love thoughts! Thanks!

I'm currently trying to review a RC passage for a PT I took, but I don't see the passage explanation being available? I saw it earlier somehow for a different passage, is there any way to access passage explanation specifically and not just question explanations?

Specifically the one I'm looking at is PT123.S4.P4

Study Help

Currently just reached the end of the arguments module within my study plan and began the grammar portion. That said, I just did the adaptive drill mixed questions, and did good I suppose on my first run at it getting 3/5, however, I did it two more times and did absolutely horrible. I feel I'm having difficulties identifying Premise's and Conclusions. Either this or I'm not understanding what the question is asking me, I'm trying to best figure out what to do cause I feel like I'm stuck lol.

Should I attend a Office Hours session and ask my questions, even though I don't know what to exactly ask, or what should I do. Truly I'm looking for guidance as the foundations and maybe I missed this didn't really touch on the particular questions and how to dissect them.

Thanks,

Nikkolas

LSAT Discord Group (repost)

I don't want to spam here, so I share this every few months or so. :)

I'll keep it short this time too 😅 Here is the link to the LSAT discord I moderate 💙

Hopefully I continue having people who wish to help other's learning in a positive way.

https://discord.gg/eq7QSHKQnn

  • all LSAT scores welcomed!

  • free of ads and promotions (to avoid scams and keep learning accessible)

  • resources and chats for LR and RC help.

  • Daily LR everyday at 5PM PST / 8PM EST

I'm also doing my best to keep the server friendly but am grateful that folks in the discord have been doing their best to help facilitate this space to be this way.

It's named "California LSAT" as I originally wanted to have people in PST time zone, but everyone here is welcomed to join ✨💙

Thanks y'all!

Hello! I am taking the June LSAT and received an email yesterday about the writing portion opening and how to access it. I have been told by many people to not do the writing portion until after taking the multiple choice exam. I know that LSAC won't release scores until the writing has been submitted. How long after the multiple choice exam window is the writing open for?

Chat Bug

Not sure if this is a bug, but the chat "header" disappears when scrolling down to the most recent chat. I am having to scroll back up to go click on "Back to chats".

Here's a screenshot from my message with AI Coach and as you can see the header for the chat is gone. I can't go back to my "Your Chats" section with all chats available, unless I scroll up to the very top.

I noticed this this morning when I was going through my chats, so I think it's a bug?

Studying LR & RC at the same time

Hi everyone,

I have finished the Foundations curriculum and am halfway through the LR lessons. I was wondering if it is a good idea to alternate between the LR and RC curriculum, since I have not touched RC at all yet. Or is it better to finish LR first and then start RC?

I am extra concerned about RC because my diagnostic showed that it is my weakest area.

My plan is to write the exam in September.

Thanks in advance for any input or insight!

At this point I think the LSAT is just fake, y'all. My last PT taken on May 16 was a 169, and somehow today (literally ~10 days later?!) I got a 179. All I did was some aggressive drilling in between and I've been studying lackadaisically since August 2025, seriously since January 2026. On top of that, when I last sat for the real LSAT in April, I got a 166, which was a major disappointment relative to where I though I'd been based on my drilling. And in the weeks I've spent studying since, I'd never gotten a PT higher than my 173 plateau from January-March, until today. I guess miracles do come true ;-;

Sup nerds! Lofi stream this Tuesday.

We're gonna do a few questions from PT140.S2 (that's LR), then passage 2 from 140's reading comp, then back to LR.

Here's the more general description of wtf the Lofi stream is:

Baby animals. Ambient music. The LSAT.

Join us Tuesdays from 5–8 PM ET for three hours of ‘Lofi LSAT problems to relax/study to’ — live (and free) on YouTube. Starting at PT140, Mikey will work through unseen LSAT questions live each week — talking through strategies, jotting down notes, and figuring problems out in as soothing a voice as he can manage while still reacting appropriately to videos of very small dogs carrying very big sticks. Whether you want to study quietly, follow every question closely, or just hang out with the LSAT on in the background, this is a low-stress way to stay consistent with your studying. All you need is a screen, a notebook, and your beverage of choice.

Hi! I just graduated from Cornell this past weekend, and I am scheduled to take the June LSAT next week. I originally signed up for the April LSAT, but life, school, clubs, work, and training (I was on the varsity rowing team) got in the way, and I didn't prep as much as I'd like. I thought I would have more time toward the end of the semester to chip away at my practice blocks, but I ended up falling further behind between final exams, travel for regattas, and graduation festivities. Now I'm home and I feel very far from prepared. I have time accommodations, so each test is roughly 4 hours long, so I haven't been able to complete as many PTs as I'd like, and frankly I haven't been able to crack 170 yet (iykyk lolll). I don't feel good about just taking the test next week to "get it done," seeing as there is somewhat of a limit to how many you should take, and they are expensive!! I already ate the cost of moving it once, and I know that financially it makes zero sense to move it again (at $150 a pop for the rescheduling fee), but somehow it feels better to shell out the cost than to go in and willingly do poorly. I've been studying since February, but somewhat on and off, so of course there is a slim chance I surprise myself and do well! But I am not optimistic. Would love to get some other perspectives on this! Could definitely use some guidance and thoughts (and maybe prayers too lol).

Hi everyone!

I’ve been studying on and off for the LSAT since early 2025, but now that I’ve graduated college, I started taking it more seriously in April of this year. I’m doing okay in LR. I’ve worked my way up to level 3 difficulty and have been getting those questions correct about 70% of the time, although I still have a lot of fluctuation.

So far, I’ve mainly focused on LR since it makes up the majority of the test. Should I keep focusing on LR until I feel more comfortable with it, or should I start incorporating RC now? Do you guys usually alternate sections day by day?

On one hand, I’m worried that if I start RC, I’ll lose momentum and focus with LR. But on the other hand, I’m afraid that if I wait until the end to practice RC, I won’t have enough time to improve and might lose some of my LR skills too.

Hoping to score at least a 160 by September or October. My last PT was a 151.

Hello. I a bit conused on the deadline for the argumentative writing portion of the LSAT. I am taking the LSAT in June and applying to a program with a deadline of July 1st. I know the writing portion opens 8 days before the LSAT so today, but can I take if after I take the LSAT or must it be before?

I have noticed that in the live classes, we don't really solve questions from the newer PTs which are more representative of the current test. I think it would be an excellent idea to have live classes where the teachers go over the newer questions as well because I feel like there's a difference between questions from PT150+ vs PTs from like the 100-140 range. The older questions are more cookie cutter, less tricky, and have more obvious patterns whereas the questions from the newest PTs are more convoluted and harder to comprehend so I would love to see live classes where the teachers break down those questions for us as well.

Feel free to let me know if I'm missing something. Out of the many live classes I attended, I don't think I have ever seen the teachers give us a question from PT 150+ which is why I wanted to propose this idea. If the reason for not including those is because y'all don't want people who still haven't solved those PTs to be exposed to them via live classes, I get it. Maybe the class labels can say something like "Disclaimer: this class will contain questions from the newest PTs (150+)." I hope this makes sense!

Hi everyone,

My name is Aaron, and I am looking for a tutor. I have been struggling a bit and I feel like I need a personal instructor to teach me directly and guide me one on one. I am available all throughout the week with open availability and would like to see if there's a tutor that offers a free first session to determine if we will be a good fit. Regarding the pricing, I would prefer anything that is $100 and below if possible. If you're willing to offer any of this, please let me know! Thank you.

I am graduating from my university in spring of 2027 maybe summer. However I am taking the LSAT in october and then in january if my score is not good. When do law school applications open for fall 2027 cycle and what is the deadline for applications to close? I thought I had more time than I potentially do, I am open to starting law school in the spring as well.

I practiced today but honestly I felt mind of exhausted. I'm so tired of waking up every morning and studying for the exam and today I was just sick of it so much that after taking a practice barely I reviewed anything. I was wondering whether I should take a break tomorrow just relax and try again on Thursday. I did take a break last Friday and Saturday so it's not like I'm working nonstop. Or should I try again tomorrow. I dont think I'm burning out but I'm just tired of it all

HLS Statements

Hello all,

I am planning on applying to Harvard Law this fall and was hoping to get any insight current students or admitted applicants might be willing to share regarding the two application statements. If anyone would be comfortable sharing theirs (even privately), I would really appreciate it.

Also, for those who were accepted, was there anything in particular about your application or writing approach that you think helped you stand out? I know numbers are only part of the equation at schools like Harvard, so I would love to hear any advice or perspective you may have.

Thank you all in advance!
