Took the February LSAT and got a 155. I'm pretty disappointed by that. My diagnostic test in December was a 152, and I took 7 more practice tests, and each time I did better than the time before, with one exception. eventually i got a 160 and my highest was a 163, which was my second to last practice test before the LSAT. Then my last pt was the worst I ever did. I got a 151, worse than my diagnostic test!

It just feels bad that I "crashed" like that. Each time I started a pt, I was very scared to start it because I was afraid of doing worse on it than the ones before but then it became real. When I first started studying i told myself no pressure and that I would be happy with any score as long as it would get me into any law school, even without a scholarship. That's what I was suggested by a couple of lawyers. But once I started doing better, I started getting competitive and greedy and wanting to go to more prestigious schools and I was comparing myself to my tutor, who got a 180. I've never done particularly well in school. I also have adhd and was always a 60s, 70s, 80s student, but my tutor said he was like me and got a 180 and went to NYU.

I am registered to take the lsat again in April but now I'm more scared to study for this test than I was before because now the expectations are higher. Im also going crazy because I'm not working now and I'm all by myself and in my head like a hermit. Any tips for studying and not feeling so meh about myself?

Hi All! I am taking the lsat in June and working through my study plan right now. I have fallen very far behind on the study plan timeline and working my butt off to get caught back up. Does anyone have a similar experience/any insight? I have saved weekends for getting caught too but I find myself extremely distracted on the weekends. Any advice/words of encouragement are welcome!

Additionally, I am an undergrad student in norcal... anyone looking for a study buddy?

I just scored a 155 on PT123 (BR 164). I am aiming for 170+ by June.

I've been studying everyday for 3-6 hours since June 2025 (did the whole curriculum, read the loophole, blind reviewed a ton and do drills every day) and I just feel so discouraged. I really thought that I improved and understood the concepts better, but under timed conditions I just keep messing up. i suspect that S3 and S4 were worse due to fatigue and lack of concentration, but I'm still sad that I missed still missed so many.

Any advice?

Hi all!

I'm studying part time and could use support and motivation. I've been studying for the last few months, mostly doing CC. I'm feeling a little stuck around 162 and am aiming for a 173. If anyone is in the area and has the similar ambitions, please feel free to reach out and we can make a What's app GC!

Good luck studying!

ONLINE SCHOOL APPS

DO YOU THINK I NEED TO RETAKE MY EXAM? I GOT LOW 150’S. I WORK FULL TIME AND STUDIED FOR ABOUT 6 WEEKS. I KNOW I CAN DO BETTER BY JUNE. I WAS REJECTED BY ONE SCHOOL BECAUSE I TRIED EARLY DECISION. I CAN WAIT AND SEE WHAT THE OTHER SCHOOLS DECIDE. I HAVE A UNIQUE AREA OF INTEREST AND MY PERSONAL STATEMENT HOPEFULLY EXPRESSES THAT. I WILL KEEP ATTENDING WEDNESDAY ADMISSIONS CLASSES. ANY TIPS OR ADVICE FOR ME?

I withdrew from a writing and film analysis elective class because I would not have gotten a good grade and it would have impacted my GPA. My entire transcript has all As (my school does not do A+ grades) besides 2 A- and 1 B so my GPA is still very high (all none A grades came from electives, major and minor GPA is 4.0). I did not have a reason for withdrawing besides the fact that the class was a film analysis class and I randomly signed up for it with no interest in film analysis (bad action on my part, yes I know) and I would have gotten a B at best, likely lower. I didn't want to take the GPA hit because even with the 2 A- and 1 B my GPA is still competitive. Was withdrawing a bad idea? Do I need to have an adendum for the class I withdrew from?

I am first gen so I don't know any of the application process nuances so any opinions are appreciated! Thank you!

I know the key difference is that conditionals are always true (they are a rule), while causation is weaker. Does this mean that if you see language like "if A then probably B", it is causal? In general, what are causal indicators and tips+tricks to recognizing causal logic that looks like conditional logic?

☹️ Discouraged

Feeling Inadequate

I just need to vent a little bit, I started 7Sage at the start of February. I have noticed some improvements, my PT score after two weeks only went up one point. I'm testing at a 146 currently and I am hoping to take the June LSAT, I will take it in August if needed. If anyone has some encouragement or advice that would be appreciated :)

(Side Note: I love this program, I just don't feel like I am the person that is an LSAT god)

Hi! I'm curious to everyone's experience w/ tutors? I have been studying for about 2 months now and am plateauing at around 160, which is very frustrating for me and I'm not sure what to do. I am considering tutoring, but it is just so expensive that I'm not sure if it is worth it.

Have people seen big jumps? What do they help you do? Is there anyone specific they suggest?

Thanks!

I've been having trouble staying positive/motivated when looking at my sealed vs raw scores. My highest scoring PT was from last month and was a 161 (75/104) but my most recent was a 156 (76/103). The difference in raw scores is very minor (in fact, the 156 is better?), yet a 161 and 156 feel like very different scores to me (and I assume, law schools). There is a greater trend of this happening in my analytics, but I'll spare the additional details.

I understand that which sections are scored/experimental makes a difference as well as whether is is 3LR/1RC or 2LR/2RC (I usually do better on the tests with more/3 LR sections). Is there anything I can do in terms of my studying to increase my chances at consistency/better sealed scores? And how can I stay motivated when my numbers are consistent yet my scores are dropping?

I'm registered for the April exam, aiming for at least a 160. It's hard to feel confident I can hit that when there seems to be so much variation.

Hbcu guys

lol I was inspired by a Howard grad to shoot my shot with finding some hbcu guys to get into this test with. I graduated from NCAT and I have a few people to study with already but I would absolutely love more hbcu people in general. HMU 🫡

Hey all,

I was thinking of writing a gpa addendum. My gpa isn’t low at all, but it is below medians for my dream schools. The thing is, I do have a concrete reason why my gpa is lower (disability). I fear it will look weird to have an addendum with my gpa, but I’ve also heard that if you have a clear reason, you should mention it. Thoughts?

For the past few weeks, I have been consistently scoring in the high 150s and low 160s on practice tests and scoring in the low 170s during blind review. I am taking the LSAT in April. Does anyone have any advice on how to close this gap between my scores?

LSAC Strategy Booster

Has anyone used the offical LSAC strategy booster or found it helpful? I received an email about it for signing up for the April LSAT. Does anyone have any tips for using it and/could there be a class on it?

I came across this feature once and now I can't remember where or how. How can I switch the BR from circling my wrong questions and random questions to only recommending the questions I got wrong?

Hi!!

I'm looking for study/accountability buddies in CA. I want to do it virtually, because I don't have a car and can't meet in person.

I took my LSAT already in February and got my scores back and...well...I'm retaking the test. I figure that maybe having a group this time might help. So I am looking for both folks that have taken the test and are planning to re-test and I'm also opening it up to people who haven't taken it yet too.

Best,

Sabina :)
