Is it possible to adjust how BR averages are calculated? I have tests from before I started blind reviewing that I want included in my overall analytics, but rather than disregarding them for my BR analytics, it's including them. So my BR analytics are way off. The only thing I can actually rely on is the highest score because the lowest and averages are just wrong. Given that my current goal is closing my BR gap, these analytics being accurate are kind of important to me.
Hello everyone, I am taking my first LSAT August 8th, which is this Saturday. I have been going back and forth on whether or not I should take one more LSAT tomorrow morning. Due to my accommodations for the exam, there wasn't many available time options to schedule the in person exam at, so I was forced to chose 8:30am. I am not the kind of person who wakes up early, but I have gradually been trying to fix my sleep schedule this week to accommodate the early test time. On test day I will have to wake up at 6:30am, so I was thinking to take one last practice test tomorrow morning and wake up at 6:30 and take the PT at 8:30 to simulate early testing conditions. Is this a good idea to do so close to my exam or have I missed my chance to simulate this? I feel like one more practice test might be beneficial for me but have heard many people advise against this. Please let me know. and good luck to everyone else taking the exam this week. Thank you!
In the last week I have scored 169 and a 180 on PT and basically nothing in between. I feel like there are environmental factors influencing the lower scores, being noticeably tired or distracted, getting used to UI changes after a break. I am just anxious going into test day when it feels like a toss up between a life changing score and one that might not even get me into my desired school. I am not reaching for a 180 on the test, just hoping to score near the average of these, but any advice on reducing the impact of environmental factors/distractions or generally increasing consistency would be greatly appreciated.
Hello,
I use the SAGE AI feature in order to set up my drill settings. Lately, whenever I do this, the ai does not provide me with the link to get to the drill. I need to ask the chat multiple times for the link in order to get the link. This started to become an issue about 2 weeks ago. Before, I would tell the chatbot my drill setting and it would automatically give me a link. This issue wastes my monthly AI usage. Please fix or does anyone have a way to fix this issue?
Hi everyone! I hope you all are doing well. I am looking for an affordable tutor as I can't afford much. I currently am in the low 160s and I am trying to get to mid 170s by October/November exams. I like a more intuitive approach. I know 2-3 months is a stretch, but I am fully committed.
Anyone have recommendations on the best earplugs to order and use for test day? Are they ones they allow you to use decent? I get distracted easily and want to make sure that I can do whatever possible to mitigate that. Thank you!
Hi! Im planning to take my next LSAT in October with the goal of scoring 160 or higher. Currently, I am sitting consistently in the 152-154 range. Given that my diagnostic was a 138, im very proud of my improvement so far, but I know I can do better. LR is my best section, sitting around 17-20 correct per section. RC is where I really struggle... -13/-14 haunts me daily. Last week I scored my first -9 on RC and almost broke an ankle from jumping for joy. Anyways... if you previously scored in the same range as me on RC and improved, please send me all your tips! Thanks in advance!
Hi everyone!! I'm struggling to improve with RC and it's usually because of the time. I'm trying to do low res summaries of each paragraph and a brief review before getting into the questions but I end up with only around 3 minutes for the questions. Usually the last two questions I miss because I'm rushed. Anyone have random tricks that have been helpful? I saw a comment a few days ago about highlighting anything that seems like the author's opinion since there are usually questions on that, which has been a great piece of advice. Any other ideas? I take my first official test on Saturday!
WDYM I can't being in my reusable mug? It has to be a clear bottle with exactly ZERO words on it? My mug just says YETI on it! I was also planning on bring in some water with a vitamin/ caffeine mix in it, and I can't even do THAT?! I HATE LSAC.
My last PT before test day. 172. My overall average for PT's before this is 164. UMMMMMMM... what do I do with this information? Should I be excited or more anxious that I'm not going to test to my full potential this week?
Do you find yourself stuck between two answers? Are you applying without a "pre-law" background? The 7Sage Pre-Law Doctors have a prescription for you.

Hi everyone! I am taking the LSAT this friday and have been experiencing some nervousness as the day gets closer! For context I have quite severe anxiety/anxiety disorders, but I've found myself today feeling "itchy" and having a hard time getting through a practice test today. I've completed half of it, and my goal was to review it tomorrow, study Wednesday, and have Thursday off before the test. But I don't know if I should just stop studying for the day, and complete the PT tmrw or just keep pushing through it today. I just feel nervous and uneasy and I don't want it to affect my confidence or performance. Any advice helps! :/ (last week I scored well on a PT and felt quite good about myself, what changed ?!)
Hey everyone! Recently I've been drilling many different question types but with a particular focus on flaw, NA, SA, strengthen, and weaken since I was told those are the most common question types on the exam. Is this true and are there any other common question types I should be making a point to nail down since I know not every question type appears at the same frequency.
It is using a crazy amount of tokens and being a lot more analytical, I've had it for a few days and have already used almost all of it with way less queries than before.
Hi everyone! I started studying for the LSAT three days ago and would love to connect with a few people who are at a similar stage and planning to take the November administration.
Since I’m just getting started, I’m currently building my foundation and familiarizing myself with the test. I’m hoping to find study buddies who would like to check in regularly, share resources and strategies, review difficult questions together, and keep one another accountable, without making the group feel overly intense or competitive.
I’m in the Chicago time zone, I live in Omaha, Nebraska and generally I'm generally available all week after 3pm. If you’re also near the beginning of your studies and taking the same administration, feel free to reply or message me with your time zone, general availability, and what kind of study partnership you’re looking for!
Looking for tips on how to break out of my plateau. On my last 4 PTs, my first 3 scores have been 160 and my most recent was 161. I work a full-time job, and I have been studying for 1.5 hours in the morning every day before I start because I know my brain will work better before work than after work. In June, my score on the real deal was 159. I am taking August in a few days, and I am also signed up for September. Although it would be amazing to get 180, my goal at the moment is to simply just improve in general, even if only by a few points. If anyone can share how they broke out of this pattern, I'd appreciate it!
I have tried the method of predicting answers before I read the choices. Maybe I could be reviewing differently?
I graduated from undergrad 4 years ago and have been working at the same company since then. I have two people at my company who are willing to write me letters of recommendation - both of whom oversaw my work there (general counsel & president of government affairs). I'm wondering if I should try to get an academic letter of recommendation as well. I haven't been good about keeping up with my professors and it feels unlikely that they will recall my participation in their class 4 years ago. Is it worth it to get one academic letter even if it's not the strongest representation of my academic work?
Hello Oklahomans! I am looking to create an LSAT study group with other Oklahomans taking the LSAT, and would love to have some accountability partners along the way! I will be taking the LSAT in April 2027, but will accept any LSAT test takers for other dates as well! Feel free to use this group for discussions, questions, proclamations, and celebrations/results! Looking forward to connecting and crushing the LSAT together this year!
Hi everyone! I'm looking to start a weekly study group in Charlotte, NC! :)
Hey everyone! I've been struggling to get my score up from 161. My blind reviews have been in the 170s, but my actual tests are stuck at a plateau. I think my big issue is timing. Does anyone have suggestions for improving timing? Especially for logical reasoning.
I've scored consistently in the 160s, 164-166, but I always imagined I would get a 170+. I'm taking the september LSAT and starting to feel like I won't be reaching my goal. On my last PT I only missed 2 on my LR Sections and I missed 8 on my RC section. Does anyone have advice?
When it finally clicks... Finished undergrad in May after being out of school for almost 20 years. (I went into the Air Force after HS, then into my profession.) Originally I planned to take the summer off then start studying, but I felt it was better to strike while the iron was hot. If anything, I'd get an idea of the areas where I was weak/strong. Since my degree was in IT with focuses in data analytics and health informatics, all of this was foreign for the most part. I started around 152-ish but hovered around the 158 mark since June. Having ADHD, I was more encouraged than worried. Personally I felt like I just needed to have that moment when my mind could lock in and find that strategy that made the questions come alive, rather than me just reading them. And when that happened I reinforced it, until it became personal. Me vs the questions! I test on the 7th. DIALED IN!! 
Dears,
[please respond only after reading GTown and GW Law's evening program admissions details on their website]
Does anyone here actually know someone (or have personal experience) that has received entry into this GTown or GW Law Evening Programs on this “LSAT-optional” route? Notably, the route under the policy that enables such optionality due to extensive work experience. Any considerations or details that would be useful to share? I am interested in the facts of the policy and its application or implementation by the law schools during admissions cycles, not any personal opinions or feelings.
Thank you so much.
