I’ve hit a difficult point in my LSAT studying when it comes to timing. I’m wondering if taking a full practice test untimed (even if I have to do it over multiple sittings) and then thoroughly reviewing it would be beneficial.

Has anyone tried this? If so, did it help improve your understanding before you went back to timed practice? Or would you recommend focusing on untimed sections instead?

Hello! I am retaking the LSAT in October and I would like to get 165. I am looking forward an experienced tutor with good outcomes from students that worked with before. My RC score is currently -10 on sections. I also have trouble with Necessary Assumption, Weaken, and Flaw questions on LR. I have always been a poor standardized test taker so any strategies to help combat test anxiety will also be helpful. I am will to pay $100/hr. If someone would be willing to help me out, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

Hello everyone,

My name is João, and I scored a 171 on the June LSAT.

New: Logical Reasoning Group Workshop (August 1)

I'm trying something new this month: a 3-hour live Logical Reasoning workshop on August 1, from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM ET.

The goal is to work through real LR questions together, discuss different solution methods, and break down the reasoning behind each question type.

I'm looking for up to 5 students to join the first session. The cost is $30 per student.

If that sounds interesting, feel free to send me a message!

1-on-1 LSAT Tutoring

I'm also offering individual LSAT tutoring focused on helping students identify and eliminate recurring mistakes through a structured, detail-oriented review process.

As a non-native English speaker, I understand the specific challenges that can come with mastering Logical Reasoning and Reading Comprehension. My own preparation involved carefully analyzing every mistake and creating targeted drills to eliminate recurring weaknesses instead of simply taking more practice tests.

What I offer:

  • Free initial consultation to analyze your current performance and identify key improvement areas

  • Detailed review of your PrepTests to detect recurring mistake patterns

  • Personalized drills tailored to your specific weaknesses

  • Customized study plan focused on efficient score improvement

  • Logical Reasoning strategy development (my strongest section)

If we're a good fit after the consultation, my rate is $20/hour.

My tutoring is especially well suited for students currently scoring in the 150–160 range who want a structured, analytical approach to reaching the 160s or 170s.

Feel free to reach out if you'd like to schedule a consultation or ask any questions.

Best,

João

Hi Product/Dev Team,

I am not sure why, but the AI analysis update now spits out giant blocks of text, which is EXTREMELY hard to read. I spend more time trying to hold my place while reading the data and revising my work for review.

Additionally, the links it provides to exercises are often not live-linked. Having to ask again wastes previous AI limits. Please help!

Here's mine. After reading the stimulus and question stem, literally cover the answer choices (or look away) and say out loud what you're expecting. Even if you're only 50% right, you'll be much less likely to fall for attractive wrong answers.

It's saved me from so many trap answers. What's your best LR hack? just something that made a difference for you.

This is my first practice test since starting 7Sage at the end of June, and I'm planning on taking my first lsat in September. I hadn't studied for the test at all before 7Sage, and I'm feeling very confident about my chances; I do worry about getting too in my head/complacent though, especially since this is my first result. Does anyone have some advice about how to keep consistent and level-headed?

I am registered for the August LSAT AKA 10 days yayya (i feel sick to my stomach). I have been stuck around 148, but had a PT last week where I scored 152 and blind reviewed 165. I was feeling so good about myself and then my PT today I got 146. Screaming, crying throwing up. Can someone please help me, am I effed if I bomb this August LSAT? I am going to take in again in October and feel pretty good about this test, but I just know that I am going to bomb this one next week. How do I get out of the 140's? am i screwed? help a girl out please!!!!

As someone who plans on taking the LSAT on paper, I wish I could take drills on paper too! After doing LSAT questions on paper for so long, it makes it really hard to drill effectively if I do it on a computer. I've tried to do it on my tablet but I like to write physically on my paper next to the question so it's quite difficult.

I like 7Sage for its LSAT prep and its analytics. I also think its application tracker might be useful. But I think, with all due respect, the site is bloated with statistics that just aren't helpful. Like, the "Preptest equivalent" scores --- I don't see how that's relevant to a 12-question drill, where ostensibly my goal is to improve on a particular question type. That's not a diagnostic.

Similarly, every time I click on a school, I'm faced with a bunch of statistics on how likely I am to get in. I don't care about that. That likelihood doesn't matter to me. I am not going to get into school X 30% of the way. I'm not going to get 70% rejected from it. It's boolean---either I get in, or I don't. All it does is stress me out and make me feel sad about schools that rejected me on my first time applying despite my stats.

I was planning on using 7sage to track my apps, but if it's all about numbers that exist only to inflate/deflate my ego, or stress me out, or discourage me from applying to a school, I think I'll just make a spreadsheet (if anyone has suggestions). Not saying that's why those stats exist, but I don't get any use from them.

I could hypothetically ignore all this, but I don't like working with a UI cluttered by statistics that don't actually help you study for the LSAT or get into law school. I personally find it distracting, though if it helps other people, that's great. Any suggestions?

I go to a university where students can and commonly take whatever classes they'd like pass/fail. I've taken five total (one mandatory, four by choice) but none since Spring 2025. Should I include an addendum stating I took those classes P/F before I knew confidently I was going to law school and since deciding I've taken everything for a grade? I have a 3.95, does that get significantly marked down when considering my P/F courses?

Buggy RC text search function

I've noticed that when I am searching the text in a RC passage on here, the word/phrase will highlight for 1 second but then it immediately goes away, especially if I scroll - is this new or a bug?

2

I started legit studying using 7sage and the loophole on july 9, I have been studying everyday for a couple hours. I took a diagnostic and got 138. I m taking it the first week of October aiming for a high 160,

I need help because using 7 sage to learn foundations has left me confused and all over the place.

Can someone recommend anything different?

2

When clicking on a school, would someone clarify the tuition and costs to me?

Is the Cost of living (off campus) the estimation of only the cost-of-living expenses (rent, groceries, etc) apart from the tuition?

And the actual Total cost is the cost of 1 year or semester? (again, apart from the cost of living).

We should be looking at the total cost for a year's tuition and of course the 3 years for the entirety of the full-time completion. Am I understanding this correctly?

And for the scholarship predictor- this is only for one year correct?

I am broke and first generation. Honestly, I really just want to get into a school in Kentucky. I prefer UofK or UofL. But I will gladly accept NKU. I don't see a thing wrong with NKU, I just know UofK and UofL are more in the areas I wanna be working/living in. Yeah, the T14s and the T30s sound cool, but with the "big beautiful bill," law school in of itself feels like a distant unattainable dream financially. I am fortunate in the sense of not having undergrad debt, but I am currently unemployed. I start work again as a sub teacher soon, but it isn't enough. I don't wanna fall for a "predatory" law school. I want to work in Public Advocacy for sure. Big Law seems interesting, but at the same time it isn't a goal of mine to work in Big Law. (Had someone ask why I wanna be broke on purpose :/). I take the August 8th LSAT, but I don't feel ready. I would move it back, but I would lose one of my fee waved tries and I rather go ahead and take it. Although, I am also taking one in September. And for anyone else in my position, for the love of God, STAY OFF REDDIT.

I have been studying for 2-4 hours a day for about 9 weeks and I feel like I'm really starting to lose my edge. In this last week, I feel like my studying was significantly less deliberate. One thing is that I have recently started reading the PowerScore RC bible and find it challenging to engage with. I try to remind myself that gaining confidence in LR took many weeks on its own. Does anyone have any advice for burnout?

Hello!! This is my goal and I'm willing to work hard. If anyone wants to join me or anyone has any guidance, please reach out!

Study Buddy for Sept LSAT

Hey folks! I'm looking for a buddy to host weekly zoom calls with to review tough problems and talk through strategies. I learn best when I have to explain my thought process to someone else, so am looking for someone who I can do that with :) Let me know if you're interested in starting a regular cadence of weekly, hour-long meetings where we take turns reviewing problems we struggled with!

I'm looking for someone more or less with a similar score range, schedule, + learning style as me:

  • Goal score of 173 and currently PT'ing around 168 (I hit a plateau HARD here)

  • Pacific Time Zone, available before 2pm

  • Focused on identifying patterns in missed problems, and interested in explaining their thought process out loud and talking through different strategies

Hello! I'm starting to prepare for the LSATs and January is the latest I can take it to stay on time with my undergraduate trajectory. I took the LSATs too early during my freshman year and scored a 149. After taking a practice LSAT to diagnose myself before this LSAT cycle, I received a 147. I can't afford the 7sage foundation prep work so I was wondering if people have any suggestions for learning the foundations.

I am seeing so much terminology for strategies etc and I'm not sure where to start in tackling this.

I need to get at least a 170 to qualify for scholarships that can help me afford law school. Has anyone been able to make such a big leap?

Edit: As of now, I am revising all the questions I got wrong on LawHub and it takes me a minimum of an hour to revise each question I've gotten wrong because I'm worried about falling trap to the already knowing the answer so feeling like I understand when I don't.

Hi everyone!

I’m taking the August LSAT, and one of the best ways I learn is by teaching and discussing reasoning with others. I thought it would be fun to help someone while sharpening my own understanding before test day.

A little about me:

  • Diagnostic: 150

  • Averaging in the low- to mid-170s on recent PTs

  • Highest PT: 177

  • Previous teaching experience as a teaching assistant, tutor, and snowboard instructor

I’m looking for 1–3 people currently scoring around 150–165 who are serious about studying and would like to go through a few LR questions together over Zoom. My goal is to help you understand why the right answer is right and why the others are wrong, while also sharing the thought process I use when approaching LR.

The session will be:

  • Free (the only thing I ask in return is honest feedback afterward so I can continue improving as a teacher)

  • Around 1 hour

If this sounds helpful, feel free to comment below or send me a DM. Good luck to everyone taking the August LSAT!

Edit: So far, a bunch of people are interested so I likely will host 2-3 sessions with a few people each. If you could comment/ DM your current PT average, the type of questions you are struggling with the most (even better if you have exact PT, section and question number), and your time zone (I am Pacific Time), I can group people accordingly! Thanks :)

Edit 2: Currently have space for people wanting to work on tougher LR questions but otherwise no more space :(. Might do more after I submit my law school apps!

Edit 3: All sessions are now full!

Hi everyone, I have been struggling on improving on Phenomena Hypothesis questions, it’s usually the only questions I get wrong. Does anyone have any tips on how to think about the questions?

I’ve watched all the videos it’s just one of those things that doesn’t click for me. I pick the trap answers each time!

Can One Ever Be Ready?

Bit by bit, I feel like I am decreasing my variance.

I made a post on here after June's exam, talking about how a lot of the exam took me by surprise. I put my observations in the post, but it was mostly about how the entire thing was a diabolical phenomenon-hypothesis + quantifier + causal reasoning + correlation bomb.

I have worked on strengthening each area that gave me pause, and I think I am better than I was in June. But it is impossible to tell. I scored a 178 today, a 180 on my test before that. Only one question on the Ptest I took today reminded me of what I saw in June (it was a phenomenon-hypothesis question about waters surrounding Shooter's island, which thankfully I have grown wise enough to get right).

But technically, every test I take now is either some % not fresh or I haven't seen the content in a very long time. Literally no score is "representative" and I feel like I could get absolutely decimated on the exam, even though in every "fresh" metric I am mogging my June self.

I got a 168 in June despite multiple mid 175 performances. What has changed between then and now is the confidence I go at questions with. I assume the way I interpret words, negatives, phrases, etc. is always correct and I don't look for "safer" answers. I hope it pays off. But I may very well be shocked again and join y'all this October.

If any tutors/instructors see this, do you have any thoughts about how I should interpret my testing data?
