Unfortunately, I had an awful undergraduate experience due to mental health issues. At the time, I was going to college without any medication. Now, I’ve tried 14 different medications and this doesn’t even include dose adjustments. I’ve been diagnosed with several disorders, yet I’ve worked continuously for six years. During that time, I was sometimes juggling three jobs at once. I just graduated, and I’m still working while studying. It feels like law school and internships are impossible under these circumstances.

Years ago I told myself I need to be the first applicant in the pile and it was a certain school or bust. lol Time has been the greatest gift, yet here we are, a day before Sept LSAT reg closes and still unsure if I'll wait ANOTHER cycle. A year goes by so fast, but where did the time go!? My current plan is to take Oct now (maybe 2 months will give me the motivation I need, but will I ever feel ready?) and if the score isn't my goal or higher I will wait a year, and plan to take an April LSAT so I don't have to freak out for an entire cycle again. Hopefully by then LSAC won't rewrite the entire exam/have more interface updates LOL Sigh, law school, the biggest decision in a new chapter...but at least another year (depending) I don't have to take an exam, ha! That's my rant.

Good luck to everyone starting to feel the 2026 cycle ebbs and flows.

do you guys listen to music when studying? whether it's during a section, a drill, or just reviewing. i usually study with music for classes so feels weird turning it off for lsat prep, as im trying my best to recreate real test conditions.

Hello all,

Ive been studying for the LSAT for around 6 months and am taking the August LSAT and Nov/Dec LSATs. Im testing in the high 150's with high 160's BR and am looking for some people to study with. Maybe we meet twice a week and go over questions etc. Up for anything.

I've been studying for the LSAT for 15 months. My average score hasn't improved in 13 months. I'm in the low to mid 160s. I've tried the AI coach. I wouldn't recommend it. I've tried tutors. They're helpful, yet expensive. And my plateau was still hard as a rock before my April test, which was in the mid 160s. For that, I'm grateful.

For a while, my logical reasoning was awesome. I'd finish timed sections perfect this winter and spring on multiple occasions. Now, I'm lucky if I'm not guessing on around half of the questions. My RC performance has been volatile. On a recent practice test, I went 26/27 on a section. But my average shows that I miss around 10 questions per section on average. On a one-star passage today, I just went four of seven. It was a trainwreck. On some timed recent RC sections, I went 8/27 and 9/27. I'd gladly admit this isn't for me. But I keep hearing that all I need to do is keep working at it and I'll eventually get into the 170s.

My question is: How? I study regularly for hours every day. I do practice tests regularly. I diligently review the answers that I get wrong. I even get them right in subsequent drills for all the right reasons. And yet my performance has nosedived. On a recent test, I scored a 146. And I've spent about 15 grand doing this. This just feels hopeless.

Experimental was soooo tough lol...

Taking the August administration after a disappointing score in June. Lets do this guys!!

I've been studying for the LSAT almost every day since March, and I'm honestly feeling really discouraged.

This will be my third attempt. Earlier in my prep I was consistently scoring in the high 150s to low 160s, so I felt like I was finally moving in the right direction. But my most recent practice test dropped back into the low 150s, and it feels like all the progress I thought I had made has disappeared.

I'm doing Blind Review, reviewing my mistakes, and trying to stay consistent, but it's getting harder to trust the process when the scores are moving backward instead of forward.

I'm currently planning to take the October LSAT, but right now I'm questioning everything about my approach.

Has anyone else gone through something similar? If your scores plateaued or even dropped after months of studying, what changes actually helped? Did you switch study methods, slow down, take a break, focus on one section, or do something completely different?

I'd really appreciate hearing from people who were in a similar position and eventually broke through.

i need to take a couple months off, but i don't want to lose access to my analytics. is there a way to pause my subscription for ~3 months, or do i need to cancel?

I have been studying for the LSAT for 3 months now but I still feel myself struggling with/dreading the review process. Does anyone have any tips on how to become more consistent with review or steps that you take to make sure your review is actually helping? Thank you!

Hi! I am about two months into studying and am looking for an individual tutor. I have not improved in the way I have wanted to and need some redirection.

Does anyone know of a good online tutor? My budget is around $100 an hour.

I’m trying to save questions I got wrong during drills. I’ve clicked the little bookmark icon but it isn’t saving them under the “Saved” section in Drills. Anyone know how to get them to save there?

Hi everyone!

I wanted to know if there were any Weidner Law students/prospective students that can speak on behalf of their J.D program. I did an internship my freshman year of undergrad at my DA's office and almost every DA, public defender, and even some judges all went to Weidner. They offer a part-time program which is really what I need due to working full-time. After looking into their programs, speaking to graduates, and listening to their podcasts I knew that I wanted to go there. I recently was educated about predatory law schools (a few months ago) and something told me to look up weidner. A fair amount of people on reddit referred to them as being one. I know I shouldn't go based off of the first thing I see online but I honestly feel like I'm stuck. A part-time program is non-negotiable, and the only schools that are not considered 'predatory' and are part-time are anywhere between an hour and 2 hours away (not including traffic). I just feel stuck. Any insight, words of encouragement, and advice is welcomes.

Thank you all!

My interest as far as law practices are: Criminal Defense, Criminal Prosecution, Real Estate, and Family Law.

Hey all, I know I’ve been sharing my Discord here a few times, but since I’m getting close to taking my LSAT, it would be great to have folks from the 120s to the 160s range to join in or create their own study group/sessions here. I’m trying to break into the 170s and find that breaking things down not only helps me and others talk through reasoning but also gives the insight that helped me break into the 160s (and hopefully soon the 170s)…

As always, I’ve been grateful to everyone who has been part of the Discord and has voluntarily supported other learners ❤️

I took a break and will be back in August but I still hold daily sessions at 5PM PST!

If you like open discussions and taking the time to do 5-10 questions in 1.5 hours, then feel free to join us!

Thank you!!! :D

I got a 156 on my prep test today and I feel so close to the 160+ range. I got a 164 on my blind review. I’m ideally aiming for a 170 range. For my reading com section, I definitely rushed the third section and I rushed the fourth section. I was able to get -9 when doing my times drilled this week so I really wanted that to reflect. I feel really good about my -4 and I want to make that consistent. My brain felt fried during the fourth section.

Any advice for pacing and getting a consistent score?? I know I know the material and the answer since I got a 164 on the blind review. Help!

I got a -4 on my LR sections I would be golden!!

My goal score is 176, and I'm able to get a BR of 175-179 consistently these days, but my actual performance is a 169-171 most of the time, peaking at 174. I know I need to train endurance but I work 50 hours a week and only have time for a full PT on the weekend. How can I train endurance if there's only one day for that? Does anyone have tips?

A complication is that I struggle with insomnia from a diagnosed chronic condition that makes it hard for me to rest and relax in general. That leaves me with just Sundays to do a full PT since I'm able to recover full sleep from Friday to Sunday. It's honestly making me consider leaving my job to prepare harder for my september test.

Anyone know when instructors host their office hours?

So confused about this consistency - any input or suggestions are much appreciated! Taking it in August and would love to break 170, and have been PT-ing consistently around 164-168.

Hi guys my name is Aly! I'm looking for a study group or more like a group chat where we can discuss problems that were really difficult for us and we wanted other peoples opinions on. My diagnostic score was in the high 160s and I really want to get my understanding up in order to raise my score into the high 170s. I would love to go back and forth with people about the substance behind questions because that is how I really learn. I would love to chat with other people that learn the same way!

I really want to know. Tell me whatever you want to share about your life.

I've been able to get my scores up to 170+ on timed sections and full PTs, but I've really been struggling with consistency. For instance, yesterday and today I got a -5 and -4 on LR sections. I know I shouldn't let those dips dishearten me, but it's hard not to when you expect higher.

What techniques do you all recommend to effectively review these mistakes to ensure they don't happen again? Or conversely, how should I be properly learning from and repeating great sections?

Hi Everyone, so I'm finally scoring in the 160's which is not too far from my goal score. I spent my first 2 months of studying focused on accuracy and now that I am finally feeling a bit confident with it I want to switch over to focusing on timing, and actually completing all 4 sections as I will on test day. Does anyone have any tips for timing? I know the question types, I know how to tackle each problem but I have to manage to do this in 35 minutes which is where I struggle.

is there any way i can do this? Thanks!

I am running out of fresh LR timed sections to do. I am not taking the LSAT until September, so I still want to be doing them. Is there any recommendation for how to move forward once all the sections have been used?
