Hey all,

Just want to put out a warning to the community. There’s been an explosion on a lot of social media platforms of ‘admissions consultants’ who, upon looking deeper into their background, I’ve found have no actual admissions experience. Some of them don’t even have a connection to law.

I just want to encourage people to be discerning, especially when a lot of these consultants are charging you a ridiculous amount of money. Many of them are just ripping info from Reddit, then acting as though it’s actual expertise, when they’re really no more knowledgeable than the average KJD.

And please remember, a service telling you they get students into Harvard is meaningless. There are plenty of people who would have gotten in regardless of whether or not they had a consultant.

Hi all, Phenomenon-hypothesis (LR) is my highest priority in tags for logical reasoning. I know it's not a question type like Weaken, Strengthen, etc., but does anyone have any tips or advice for handling questions with this tag or improving at these? Thanks!

Looking for a tutor!

Hello! I am a high performing student who is willing to work hard, but I have yet to break into the 170s. I am able to perform relatively consistently on RC (I have been averaging around -2 on my last few sections), but I have found that my LR sections can vary dramatically. There have been times I have gotten -1, times where I have gotten -4, and times where I have gotten -7. I started seriously studying in mid-May, and I feel like I am struggling with my mentality more than anything else. I have seen that I can do well in sections, but I don't know how to make that a consistent result. I took the LSAT earlier this month, and my goal is to take it again in August. I am open to pay a reasonable rate!

Hey yall!

Last PT a few (?) weeks ago I used the new LSAC interface and I had so many technical issues, I crashed out and ended up taking another PT on 7sage.

Has LSAC fixed the issues with their new interface yet? Asking yall who have been taking PTs recently. If nah, then should I stick to using the new interface and do my PT on 7sage?

I really don’t want to redo a PT/don’t want to have the same issues as last time(it was frustrating tbh)

JYPing if you see this, can you please add an option on 7sage PTs where one can modify how long their breaks are between sections (not everyone has the fixed 2 mins between sections)

Go Knicks, NYC is lit rn we made history last W this hard was in the 70s yall 😛🔥🔥

Hey guys. I'm still waiting for my decision from MSU and I got invited to a visit day on Monday. However, I don't live in Michigan or anywhere near so I can't go in person and had to opt for the virtual option which is meeting with an admissions adviser. Does anyone know what I should expect? I'm so nervous because this is realistically my last shot at going to law school.

APPLYING QUESTIONS

I want to ask if I would be able to make it into law school, I have a GPA of a 3.4, would I still be able to go to law school and get scholarships if my Lsat score makes up for my low GPA? Also, where can I find guidance regarding my personal statement.

Hi everyone! I'm planning to take the August or September LSAT and looking for a study buddy to trade strengths with.

I've been PTing in the low 170s, with 0 to -2 on LR pretty consistently, but a lot of variance on RC. If you're strong in RC but want help with LR, l would love to study together :). I love teaching (have some teaching experience) and it's honestly how I learn best too, so this would help both of us.

Based in Vancouver (Pacific time), but happy to do this online with anyone in any time zone.

Let's get 175+ together!

Hello! I've been doing drills and PrepTests for the past few weeks and I've noticed one of my biggest struggles when it comes to RC is finding the main point of a question. This eventually leads into me not fully understanding questions later on in a RC section since my understanding of the main point is rather weak. Does anyone have advice to finding out the best ways to find the Main Point in an RC passage?

1

I find that my previous memories and a mental freeze prevent it from being of any use. Which makes it harder as the 6 minutes runs out quick. I don't have this issue nearly as much with longer sections of hard questions, I have a better control of time then.

I've just started skipping them altogether. I much prefer doing very thorough BRs and moving on.

PT 126!!

Don't feel too terrible about, I rushed on section 3, any tips on slowing down, besides the obvious.

I'm considering taking a class when next semester starts up, does anyone have any recommendations as to which, or if I should take one at all? I've heard good things about Princeton review's 170+/10 PT class.

Hey gang, I've been studying for a little over two months, this is my first full PrepTest. I've not taken a diagnostic. This was a timed PT. I'm curious if others who have had a similar study experience would be willing to share what steps they took from this point in their journey, and how they eventually scored. I'm testing in September. Thanks and happy studying!

Hi everyone,

Two Questions:

1) The letter of recommendation that I am going to get from my professor in college is an old theology teacher I had in undergrad. I did not have many relationships with my teachers outside of this one... Do you think having him as my sole academic rec would hurt me?

2) How important is it to have a letter of recommendation from academics? I have been out of school for 2+ years. I think I have unique and solid recs from work and sports, but not really from academic.

RC not improving

I've been studying for a month and half now and have been able to get my LR from -10 to around -3, but my RC has consistently been around -8 (untimed) with very little improvement. Does anyone have any advice on studying more effectively? I feel like with LR the foundations I had to learn drastically helped but with RC I might just not be approaching it properly? I've heard a lot of suggestions about mindset, staying engaged, predicting the next sentence, etc. but I think my issue is less about strategy and more fundamental. I've just purchased a RC textbook so hopefully that will help :')

when to start drills

This may be a silly question, but is it a good idea to start drills if you have not finished the "foundations" part of your study plan? I've only been at it a week, and I did a drill and didn't do so well. And I'm wondering if I might hold off until I get the foundations down.

Hi! I began studying mid may of this year and cant break a 145 on practice tests. I am shooting for the 160-165 range and feeling quite stuck on where to go next and really understanding what I am learning in my study sessions.

I am looking for a foundations tutor that can help review practices and go over where I am being tricked, at the root of the problem.

Desired range $50-$75/hr for once a week.

Thank you!

What should I do?

Hey guys!! So I have been planning to take the LSAT in August, however, recently I feel like I have been improving but I feel like I am not where I want to be yet. I am thinking about taking it in September instead to give me some more time to be more confident. I have already taken the LSAT twice.

My question is: Is it a good idea to take one in August and September? Or should I just shoot for September.

Hi everyone, I am still accepting students for the August exam and beyond! :)

To share a little bit about myself... I'm a first-generation professional student who studied for the LSAT while working full-time abroad, so I understand that every student's circumstances, strengths, and goals are different. I don't believe in one-size-fits-all prep, and I tailor my approach to the individual sitting across from me. For me, that required developing methodical, explicit approaches to every question type.

I started with a 150 diagnostic and, after earning a 165 official score (with multiple law school acceptances and substantial merit scholarships!), I continued to fine-tune my LSAT approach until I was a consistent 170+ scorer on nearly every official practice test available. The process of reaching a high level of consistency taught me exactly what meaningful LSAT improvement requires, and how to help others achieve it.

My Approach:

My goal isn't simply to help you answer more questions correctly, but to help you develop the confidence, understanding, and decision-making framework needed to approach every section with intention and a plan.

To accomplish that, I:

• Create personalized study plans, lesson materials, and strategy guides tailored to your strengths, weaknesses, timeline, and goals

• Build a shared library of notes and resources that you can reference throughout your entire LSAT journey

• Design custom drills and homework assignments to target specific roadblocks, including exercises that go beyond traditional LSAT questions when necessary

• Break down the LSAT's fundamental concepts and patterns so you're operating from a place of understanding and authority rather than confusion or guesswork

• Teach clear, practical strategies for Logical Reasoning and Reading Comprehension

• Not only review your wrong answers with you, but dive into each step of your thought process to understand where you're going wrong

I believe score gains come from deeply understanding why you're making mistakes and identifying test patterns, not simply completing more drills. Every student encounters different obstacles, and my job is to identify those obstacles and build a system that helps you overcome them.

Rate: $65/hour

Free introductory consultation available.

If you're willing to put in the work, then I'll be right there working with you! Feel free to reach out with any questions. :)

What should I do with this? I started getting calls from staff during the 4th passage in rc and ended up just aborting the whole thing to go into work. If I keep it it will mess up my stats and what to focus on. If I delete it it will mess with what questions I’ve done already.

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for an LSAT tutor who can work with me one-on-one and help me achieve a high score. I'm seeking someone who can provide personalized guidance, help identify weaknesses, develop an effective study plan, and offer targeted feedback on practice tests and drilling.

I'm currently using an LSAC fee waiver, so affordability is very important. If you offer reduced rates for fee-waiver students, flexible pricing, or have experience helping students maximize their scores on a budget, I'd love to hear from you.

Please send me a message with your experience, LSAT background, tutoring approach, availability, and rates.

Thank you!

LSAT

Hi everyone!

I am applying for the 2027 cycle and planned on taking September (benchmark) and November exam (my ideal). However, the exam is quite pricey and I’m not sure if I should just register for November? Do both? For context, I’ve been studying since March and started the drilling portion of the curriculum!

Any insight would be helpful! Thank you :)

Can we get an option to customize our unique robot pic LOL!!! Most of us are on this for months and weeks back to back- and I am not a fan of this pink robot...though it may be growing on me...

Hi! 

I’m looking for a 1-on-1 tutor. 

I scored a 153 on my last LSAT, and I’m aiming for a 165. My worst section is the LR. I’m hoping to better understand the foundations and how to apply them to each question, because I struggle with this the most. My stamina also needs improvement. During my practice LR sections, I take up to 57 minutes, and I would like to reduce the time. I currently have 1.5 extra time on the LSAT. I would also like to cover the RC section, but that is not my main focus; rather, certain question types are.

I’m looking for a tutor who can provide help during sessions and, most importantly, strategies for studying on my own. I am planning to take my next LSAT in November and would like to meet with someone weekly or biweekly (depending on what is recommended). My price range is around 50-75$ CAN/per hour.
