Tips for speed

I can never get through all the questions in a timed section. Of the questions that I do answer, the majority of them are correct. So I don’t think my issue is accuracy as much as it is speed. Any recommendations on how I can get through the passages quicker and identify my target faster? I am experiencing this problem for both LR and RC

Hi! I'm looking for a study partner/group to review about once a week. I'm from New York but am currently studying abroad in Europe so am going by CEST. I'd love to talk with some new people and see if our schedules would align. I don't plan to take the LSAT for another couple months, but have a consistent study schedule.

what's next after second "diagnostic"

i'm going for a november test date.

i took my diagnostic in june. i wanted to get a sense of where i'm at now, so i just took a second practice test. i still need to complete the core curriculum.

what's the best next step? do i blind review this PT first? i never blind reviewed my diagnostic (should you?). i know i struggle, perhaps mostly, with speed. would that help me get the best sense of where i need to focus, or should i just go back to focusing on the CC?

Live Admission Video Locked?

I see there’s a “free” ask admissions live video later today, in 30 minutes (2pm), but it’s still locked for core users. Either this wasn’t supposed to locked, or it wasn’t supposed to be [FREE]?

Actual Test Interface?

I am taking actual LSAT this Saturday and was wondering if I should do my last practice test on 7Sage or directly on LSAC? Wondering if there is also any other advice in general about possible technical difficulties that can happen day of

How to Narrow it Down

Hi! So I am having a bit of trouble. When I am taking timed practice, I constantly find myself between 2 answers (the answer I chose and the correct one). The correct answer is typicall my first choice and then I second guess myself and end up choosing the wrong answer. It has gotten so bad that in my blind reviews when I go back in and chose the answer I was in between I get a vast difference between my original score and my BR score (ex. -11 practice score and -3 Blind review score going back in and choosing my initial answer). How do I jump over this hurdle? How do I trust my instinct or make a decision between 2 very compelling answers or is this more of a mental block? Any and all feedback is welcomed.

Not sure where feedback on the new site should go but a feature that I've found useful is the (% fresh) indicator in PrepTest pool settings, especially when I'm starting to really run low on testing materials and I want to use them efficiently. I have two recommendations for ease of use: 1) Adding the (% fresh) indicator next to specific sections, so users know what section drills are fresher based on what drills they've already done and are able to choose sections most efficiently for studying purposes, without having to guess based on how fresh a whole PT is, and 2) Adding the (% fresh) indicator on the actual "Practice" page for PTs and Sections, so that users don't have to go back and forth between the Practice page and the pool settings page.

Stress about timing

I don't know how everyone feels, but I've been doing my practice along with the 7sage fundamental classes. I got the red symbol - how many seconds longer than what I was supposed to - for all my prep answers. I don't know if I should skim and skipp reading all the answer choice when I find the correct answer, cause that seems to be the only way I can meet the suggested time.

Hi! I am debating if I should retake the LSAT or if I should apply early. I received a 171 on the LSAT, which was what I was averaging on PTs. If I retake the exam, I would take the November LSAT. I am hoping to get into a T14 law school. I am worried that if I retake the LSAT and my score stays the same, then I will be applying later, which could hurt my application. Should I retake the LSAT and wait to apply till November/December or should I early apply in September with my current score?

I am taking the LSAT in October and November. I would love any advice for breaking over 160. I am not looking for any insane score jump but would love to go up at least a couple points before then.

Currently I am doing a timed section each day, one practice test a week, and wrong answer journaling each one.

So I took the August 2025 LSAT and did not score nearly as well as I wanted to, especially considering my score was lower than any PT I've done leading up to it. I took the rest of August off from doing anything LSAT related because I'll be honest I was drained and burnt out from spending my entire summer just studying for the test. I will be retaking the LSAT this November and I need advice on where to begin on restarting my studying journey. My goal score is a 160. Any tips or advice on where to pick back up with studying is greatly appreciated!!!

I am an upcoming senior looking to apply in the 2026 applicant pool. I have an LSAT coming up in Sep. and Oct. I got a late start because I was studying abroad last spring semester...so I have had May-Aug to study. My initial diagnostic exam was a 144 and after 3 months, 4 more practice exams, and a lot of rushing to complete core syllabus I have only improved each time by a point to a 148. I have just started doing constant drills of my weak spots. What else can I do to drastically jump my score to at least a 158! (I am not a great test taker and just trying to find what niche works best!)

Hi! I was wondering if there’s a way to have my priorities by question tag include all of the questions I’ve taken instead of just my practice tests. It would be great if I could include all questions or all questions in the last month or something so I can see more directly what I should be trying to work on. It would also be great if you could set your target score and calculate where you’re under performing in relation to that as well.

If any of this is possible please let me know!

Which PTs are harder

Having taken the LSAT in June I found that the test was more tricky than normal PTs. It was much more along the lines of PT 144. Has anyone else found PT 144 harder than others? Do you all have other PTs in mind that you would say are harder in your opinion? Trying to gain insight to study these PTs since I know the October test will be just as tricky.

Inconsistent and Confused

I’ve been studying this test for a few months now and today I finally broke 161. After that I did another LR section and got -12!! Wayyyyy worse than I have been doing. Same thing happened last week, I was drilling all day and when I took a PT I scored worse than I have in months. Is this over practicing and mentally exhausting myself or am I getting lucky with my better scores? Driving me nuts. Any ideas? And has this happened to anyone else?

Study Buddy/ies

I am in EST and scoring in the high to mid 160's hoping for 170+ by november. Looking for someone to study with. It would be 6-9 or around then. Anyone is welcome.

Plan is to do a timed section and review as a group and help explain what we see individually.

Thanks!

Split Approach - RC

Hi everybody, I've been practicing the split approach and quite enjoy its methodology. However, I've also read elsewhere that LSAC is actively trying to create questions that stop this approach from being as effective. Can anybody weigh in on this (test takers) and if I should pivot to sequential?

Good luck and thanks!
