Hello all,

I am planning on applying to Harvard Law this fall and was hoping to get any insight current students or admitted applicants might be willing to share regarding the two application statements. If anyone would be comfortable sharing theirs (even privately), I would really appreciate it.

Also, for those who were accepted, was there anything in particular about your application or writing approach that you think helped you stand out? I know numbers are only part of the equation at schools like Harvard, so I would love to hear any advice or perspective you may have.

Thank you all in advance!

I promise, its possible guys. Months of pain and finally, we've broke through.

Good evening, I made an lsat discord a month ago we have 100 members of all different skill levels who do active study sessions we have 170 scorers willing to help or review and plenty of other motivated students! There is a daily progress tracker/study schedule board so you can find others who study at your time and lots of notes from other students it had helped me so much since starting it and I want others to join all levels of students are welcome we have international students as well! It’s still new so feel free to bring new ideas.

I specialize in helping people who've gotten stuck in their prep and are looking for a different approach.

Are we a good fit?

I have experience with test-takers from a lot of different backgrounds, with different strengths, goals, and lifestyles. But we're probably a really good fit if...

• Your baseline is 155+ and your goal is 170+

• You've gotten some value out of traditional LSAT prep (like 7Sage) but you're still short of your target

• You have competitive sports or performing arts in your background, and you're just as comfortable in "training mode" as in "study mode" (or more so)

What's the different approach you're talking about?

Traditional LSAT prep is typically organized around "question types" and repetitive drilling. That's great at first, but leads a lot of people straight into a plateau after a while. That's because it overemphasizes the test content, which can disguise why you're actually picking wrong answers. So you end up making the same mistakes over and over again.

That's what I focus on. The primary training I offer is a diagnostic assessment. We precisely identify the biggest causes of your wrong answers. I'll also train you to review PrepTests more effectively, so you can actually start proactively adding points to your score.

The training only takes 1-2 hours, and most of my clients break out of their plateau on the very next PrepTest. I've got this thing pretty well honed. Pretty much all of my committed weekly clients achieve their target scores. The plan will work if you do.

And who are you again?

I'm Elliot, and I've been doing LSAT since 2009. I'm up to around 12,000 hours teaching classes or leading tutoring sessions. I've also created courses, trained dozens of other instructors, and written hundreds of explanations (check out my growing library of PrepTest walkthroughs). And yes, I got a 180.

I love talking about this stuff, so feel free to message me for feedback even if you're not interested in meeting.

How can I become more accurate, while taking less time per question...? I ran out of time on the RC section.

hi all, I’m looking for 1-2 study buddies. I’ve an official 162 score and my goal is to get 170-172. Looking at September test.

Will like a buddy who’s below 162 and one who is currently PTing in the 170+ range.

Hey, so I would appreciate literally any answer, but I thought for SA we do P->C. To be fair, the explanations do make sense to me. However, I barely see the P->C thing going on now. I thought the answer choices should be linked to the conclusion, but it seems like right now we're just filling in the gaps. So I want to know how exactly to approach these questions. Or, when do I know when I can use P->C? Any suggestions and tips are GREATLY appreciated.

All in all, I am just so frustated. I take over 15 mins to get even a level 3 question and close to 30 mins to even understand a lvl 4 question. I have about 8 months to study but sometimes it feels like I'm chasing a ghost. I don't even know if I have what it takes.

Hi everyone! I'm looking for a group of people to study with to prep for the October LSAT. I gave it a go almost a year ago but got sidetracked due to starting a full time job and I want to be more disciplined in my approach to studying. I live in the OC area so would be down to meet up in person in the evenings after work and can even do online! I look forward to connecting with y'all soon!

Hello, needing some advice! I am at a loss for what to do, I am scoring around a 155 currently which is average for the schools I want to attend. However, with the cost of law schools currently and the job market, I have read it's not really worth it to attend unless you can get a pretty large scholarship. Most scholarship receipts score in the 170s. I am taking the June LSAT and am thinking of just postponing. I just graduated with my bachelor's in marketing and am also applying to business related jobs. I am wondering if I should just take my time studying to ensure I at least get close to a 170 or is it worth it to go into debt? Any advice on what to do? Tia!

Hi Everyone! I've been struggling to stay focused and I hope that starting a daily group would help with that. Would anyone like to study with me every weekday at 5:30 PM PT?

Hi friends!

It feels like I'm flying blind right now so I figured I'd reach out to see if anyone has specific suggestions for how to prioritize the months between now and when I take the test in Sept, and how I can ease my anxiety during plateaus.

I just started studying at the end of April and have been working my way through the study plan 7Sage created for me. I'm also trying to get a jump on getting used to section timing, so I've been trying to do at least 1 timed, full section every other day or so. I think in a couple weeks I'd like to bump that up to taking one full practice test every week while I'm still getting through curriculum.

My diagnostic score was solid (161) and I'm aiming high, for a 173+. I've never been great at standardized tests, but this feels like something I can do if I just study for it the right way. Right now, my plan looks like

• May-end of June --> Focus on getting through curriculum, alternated with taking practice sections and full practice tests in June (20-25 hrs/week)

• July-end of August --> Practice practice practice; probably start the week with 1 PT, then review what I got wrong, drill specific question types I'm having a hard time with, and then end the week with another PT (15 hrs/week)

I know it's stupid to have expected progress already but I am finding myself a little frustrated reviewing sections and finding that I keep missing around the same # of questions! Is that normal? Is there anything I could be doing differently or better? How does my study timeline look?

Thanks in advance !

Hi all- does anyone have some tips on something that made them go from the low 170s to mid-high 170s? I feel like it's the difference of a few questions that are keeping me from moving up, and I tell myself to read carefully etc. but it's hard to remember a laundry list of things to do under timed conditions. It's starting to feel like I'm not learning a ton from my WAJ as well. I also notice that I tend to have one more volatile -4 section on my practice tests, that seems to be keeping my score down. Grateful for any tips that helped to make the jump!

Super excited because I have been studying since March 2025 and finally broke into the 170s :)

Hello everyone, I'm a first-gen college student and immigrant looking for an affordable tutor.

I have been stuck in the 162 score and my goal is to get a 170 by August. I am taking the June LSAT on June 6th and would love 2 sessions before then. I am also registered for the August LSAT. My goal is to break into the 170s by then, and I may sit the September exam if needed.

I have a 3.2 GPA (from a top 20 undergrad), so I am eager to invest in a good tutor who can help me boost my score and admission chances.

I'm looking for a tutor who:

• Has proven success with other students

• Sets homework and structured tasks

• Is engaging and easy to talk to

• Is available over text/email for any pressing questions

Hi! I am looking for an LR study buddy to meet Monday and Wednesdays to do untimed/timed LR sections on our own and meet 6-8 pm est to review questions we got wrong and make it interactive. Someone with ADHD would be nice and scoring between -0 to -6 max (consistently in the low 160s/ mid 160s).

Also, if you live in NY would love to meet in person! Please message me!

Hey guys! I’m looking for study buddies in the Chicago area. Online or in person! 🤗

Hello all! I am running into a very frustrating situation that keeps costing me time and points in many question types including strengthen, necessary assumption, and sufficient assumption. Namely, I am dissecting a stimulus and either making the wrong assumptions or missing assumptions. So then, when I have my prephrase that either contradicts a correct assumption, or never regards a correct assumption, I will often ELIMINATE the correct answer because it feels like it contradicts my prephrase, or because I never thought of it.

Could anyone offer any advice on how to get these questions with consistent accuracy, or how to change my thinking habits? I have read all the typical advice, and it doesn't really help me on actual LSAT questions of these types, so I'm hoping there are some high scorers here who have perhaps a different approach they could share!

An example of my thinking is on PT 143, S 1, Q 9, a strengthen question, on red admiral butterflies, my prephrase, and my interpretation of the stimulus, was that perhaps the red admiral is mimicking the poisonous butterfly's flight pattern, and thus eluding predators. However, when looking at explanations, one of the assumptions that I obviously missed was that poisonous butterflies did not fly in an irregular flight pattern. Because of this, I immediately crossed out A, the correct answer.

Hello, I have been having trouble with my tutor having access to my analytics even with the link sharing provided. Is it actually possible to share if the tutor is not affiliated with 7Sage? Thank you!

Happy Memorial Day to you all,

I am still blind reviewing my PTS and it is taking a while, how long should I be spending on that? Right now I am trying to take untimed PTs, and then going to transition to timed PTs before my June test tate. How long should I spend blind reviewing? I don't want to take time away from doing all the PTs I can.

I’m an applied mathematics student at a top 5 math uni who has worked at a national lab and done some AI research and basically all the generic STEM activities (so maybe 1500 hours of research?). I don’t have any significant “demonstrated law interest” aside from loving logical reasoning and my mother being a lawyer. Any tips on how to bridge the gap to show admissions officers I’m really interested in law? I’m mainly interested in tech law since I have a significant tech background.

Should I take another diagnostic (prep test) after taking a two month break? Also, is there a way to reset my study plan since I’ve already done the practice blocks?

Hi! I am living in Durham just started studying for the LSAT while working 30-40 hours a week, aiming to take it in the Fall (around October). Does anyone in the area want to study together during the week/weekend?

I am kind of seeing principle questions

"The situation described above conforms most closely to which one of the following generalizations?"

fall into the line of most strongly supported questions

while PSA questions (find the rule/application)

"Which one of the following principles, if valid, would most help to justify the sociologist's argument?"

are ones where we have to find gaps, fill the gap, make sure it is delivered to the right outcome and right situation is being modeled. Am I correct in my line of thinking?

Hi everyone! I would love to have in-person study groups in the Boston area for anyone studying towards the fall LSATs. Please join if interested!

Hi everyone,

Looking to host an in-person LSAT Study Group that meets biweekly.

anyone in the Proper LA area looking to practice together?
