Hi!

I am taking the June LSAT for the first time, and if I think I need to retake it, I will likely take it again in September. I plan on applying this cycle, meaning that most applications will open on September 1st, but the September LSAT scores will be released a few weeks afterwards.

Given the notable increase in law school applications, I have heard admissions departments say it is is better to submit applications sooner rather than later to have better chances of admissions and merit-based scholarship consideration--of course, they also say to submit your application when it is at its best.

My question is if I take the September LSAT, will I have enough time to submit my application "early enough" to have strong chances of admission and scholarships, or are applications being submitted at such a rate that submitting ASAP may be preferable?

I think I already know that submitting apps after the September scores are released won't be detrimental to my chances, but I'd definitely appreciate a second opinion.

Thanks!

I started my own Wrong Answer Journal. So far I have been collecting data, entering my mistakes, and logging my thoughts and reasoning at the time of attempt. I make sure to connect to the correct answer and fully understand it through explanation.

So I have this WAJ.. I keep adding to it, and writing in it. Now how do we actually use this journal for review?

Could ya'll please share how you engage with your WAJ and specifically how I could use mine effectively for study review.

I tried registering for the August 2026 LSAT and each time I go to the LSAC website I don't see any LSAT options sooner than October 2026, but on their website it confirms there is an August 2026 LSAT... anyone else having this issue?

I’ve been studying for months working on improving my score. My last 2 PT was 137 and I spent sometimes reviewing my weaknesses. I decided to take another PT today hoping for a 140 and I scored at a 121 I don’t understand how this happened I’m so confused.

Hi everyone!

I am planning on applying to law school in the 2028 cycle, but am trying to finish up my applications right now. I am located in Seoul and would love to connect with others with experience in the legal market/admissions process in Korea or people also going through the US JD application process from here. I’m also down to give any advice that I can, mostly on LSAT.

I am used to throwing a ton of tags in the drill feature to focus on a plethora of problem types I don't like doing. But for some reason, when I put in "Argument Part" and "Phenomenon-Hypothesis" it says there are no questions in my drill set as if I am asking for it to choose questions where both tags apply at the same time. Is there a way to make it so they apply separately?

In my opinion newer LSATs are getting more and more... "creative" with argument part questions, so I certainly want to work on them even though a lot of them are super easy.

Hey, I just finished the foundations content and have been doing somewhat decent in the adaptive drills and single "you try" questions. I am always going over time and am worried I will fall into a pattern of taking too much time. As I progress through the LR and RC sections of the material, is there a specific strategy/idea I should use to help my time? Or is it not relevant at this point? I feel like I might just be in my head, would love others' thoughts on this!

Hello, 7sagers! I have been making this discord server for the past month now and I think I'm ready to make it public! This is Fortuna Laboris LSAT. I believe in very much that your fortune is often in the hands of your labor. This discord is for people who are hard working and want to be in a community with other hard working individuals! Currently pretty small and the server could definitely use some "sprucing" up but it is in it's early stages. Students, tutors, and professionals are all welcome! https://discord.gg/SMcxEaCuah

Hi Guys. June LSAT test taker here. I have been off/on studying for the LSAT for over a year now, but have been pretty seriously studying the last 2-3 months. June will be my second time taking the LSAT (previous 166). My goal score is a 170+, which I have yet to crack on a PT, but I've consistently been getting 168s and 169s for my last 4-5 PTs, as well as -3 to -1 on several RC and LR sections individually. Though it's been frustrating as hell being stuck in the high 160s plateau, I have been feeling like I've been understanding the test more and more every day and have been seeing small improvement.

I just took PT 156 (which seems like is notoriously difficult) and got a 161 on it. Ugh. With the test less than two weeks away I was planning on taking one last test next weekend, but I'm worried after this experience it'll ruin my confidence before test day. I plan on blind reviewing this test and trying to learn the most that I can from it, but does anyone have any advice on what else I should focus on this next week and a half before giving myself 4-5 days off before my test? Should I take another PT next weekend? Do drills? Review my wrong answer journal? Meet once with a tutor? Do nothing and rest? Any advice would be appreciated.

I feel like I have all the pieces I need to do well on an LSAT but it never seems to come together for me.

Thanks :/

Hi everyone! I just recently graduated from undergrad (yay!) and decided to take a gap year before applying to improve my LSAT score and to boost my resume with more than just an internship. I recently got a job at a decent-sized law firm as a legal assistant, and they were hoping that when I go to law school, it would be part-time so I can continue working at the firm. Before the application cycle opens up, and before I go in too deep with this firm, I need to know if working full-time while attending law school part-time is something I can realistically achieve.

I am curious if anyone else is in a similar situation where they are looking to apply to a part-time JD program. I'm completely unfamiliar with the part-time process, as everyone I've talked to is in law school full-time.

I have no idea how law schools weigh part-time applicants. Would I even be a good part-time applicant, considering I am younger, etc.? So many questions, very little answers!!!

Please join the chat room if you are planning on doing a part-time program, or if you're thinking about it, or if you have any extensive knowledge!

Sincerely,

A girl who has a lot to think about :)

Hi,

I’m doing pretty good on these but still making dumb mistakes. I forgot to answer a question in rc and submitted the last lr section without realizing I still had one more question. Went back and got them both right in analysis right after. Shooting for a 180 if anyone has any tips let me know!

Under each answer choice, when I do drills, it shows these analytics. Can someone explain what this means? Thanks! :)

I started studying with the core curriculum 2-ish weeks ago and wanted to take a PT to see if I made any progress compared to my diagnostic. The 7sage explanations have been super helpful. Although progress early on is encouraging, I'm ultimately aiming for a mid-170s score, so please share any tips!

Hello LSAT Travellers!

My name is Dr. Lars Enden. I used to be a professor of philosophy and logic. I did that for about 20 years. But now, I am an LSAT tutor, and I have been doing this full-time for over 3 years.

The purpose of this group, is to offer a space where you can ask a professional logic professor (that's me!) anything you want. So, come to a session with a topic or a question that you want to discuss. It can be anything LSAT related (even RC, which is mostly logic anyway!) and I will do my best to help you with it. For Free!

The group will meet every Wednesday 2 - 3:30 pm Eastern / 11 am - 12:30 pm Pacific. I hope to see you then!

And, of course, if you are looking for a tutor, check out my post in the tutoring marketplace!

Hello LSAT travellers!

My name is Dr. Lars Enden. I used to be a professor of philosophy and logic. I did that for about 20 years. But now, I have taken all my experience as a professional educator in logic and critical thinking and applied it to the LSAT. LSAT tutoring is all that I do now, and I have been doing it full-time for over 3 years.

If you would like to see my many 5-star reviews from former students, check out my profile over on Wyzant (look up Lars E.).

There are 2 problems that I see with LSAT tutoring. The first problem is that it is expensive for students; the second problem is that it is repetitive for tutors; I find myself teaching the same skills to practically every student that I tutor.

I propose to solve both of these problems by introducing a hybrid style of tutoring, which will combine some classroom-style instruction with one-on-one individual tutoring at a more affordable price.

Therefore, I am launching a pilot program that will use this hybrid model to cover the logical reasoning portion of the LSAT (I hope to develop a similar program for Reading Comprehension in the future). It will be a 6-week program that will meet classroom-style twice a week for 1.5 hours each, and that will meet individually with each student for one-on-one tutoring 1-hour per week. This will mean that each student gets 24 hours of total time divided into 18 hours of classroom-style instruction (with the whole group) and 6 hours of one-on-one tutoring. I want to try this method with a relatively small cohort (6-8 students) priced at $960 per student, which comes to $40 per hour. I expect that if this program is successful, that I will end up charging at least 3 times more than this in the future, which is still far below my usual rates for regular one-on-one tutoring.

What to expect from this program:

-24 hours of total time: 18 hours of small-group time and 6 hours of individual tutoring time.

-Current cost will be $960, which breaks down to $40 per hour [This is far, far lower than my usual rate because this is a new and somewhat experimental program]

-Classes are designed to cover all the important logical skills needed for LR success [these are the same skills that I have been teaching my individual tutoring students for years]

-Individual tutoring time will be more focused on the specific problems each student is facing with improving their LR skills

-Targetted homework will be assigned after each class to help reinforce the concepts and to give students more practice [This is the same homework that I have been giving to my individual tutoring students for years]

-For students in this cohort, I will also offer additional tutoring, if desired, both during and after the class ends at $95 per hour (less than half my usual rate)

If you are interested in being a part of this pilot program, please send me a DM, comment below, or send me an email at contact@larsenden.com

I started studying for the LSAT around a month ago, and plan to take the September test. I've finished the Foundations unit and am more than halfway through the LR unit - so, I'm wondering when I should start incorporating drilling and PTs into my studying, and how often? I haven't been doing drills asides from ones built in to the lessons, and haven't done a PT since my diagnostic.

Happy Friday, everyone! We know we're still a long way from next cycle's application deadlines, but as they say, the early bird gets the worm, and the early applicant gets a boost. Do you already have a draft-in-progress of your personal statement? If so, you can use one of these links to book a free Essay Workshop with a 7Sage consultant. We'll help you brainstorm, revise, and analyze your personal statement to make sure you're telling your best story.

Each of these links only works once, so it's first-come, first serve!

Edit: All the links have been used! Good luck, everyone!

When doing blind review, should I hover over the pink circle on the question (thus indicating if I got it wrong, took too long on it, changed my answer multiple times, etc.) or not? Particularly, I'm not sure if it is harmful to do BR already knowing that I got that question wrong.

Thanks :)

As a pattern my scores are so-so on the drills, but I am scoring in the 80-100% range after the blind review. Any tips on improving my confidence when picking an answer the first time around???

Good evening, I made an lsat discord a month ago we have 80 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 recently had a session with tutor @SCOTT_LEBO . It was amazing. Even before our session began, he emailed me two detailed PDFs on how to approach LR and RC. He mentioned that he's been refining his method for 10+ years, and he found it highly effective. I did too. Then, during our session, we went through my analytics so he could personally gauge my strengths and weaknesses. He also used the information I provided him before our session. We started with my weakest point, RC, and thoroughly reviewed a passage that targeted all my weaknesses (lol). He made sure to use multiple approaches to justify how to get the right answer, as well as why my answer was wrong (instead of just giving me the answers). We focused on how to tackle passages and questions. He asked me to also chime in and explain my thought process, which he evaluated clearly and refined. Because I self-studied for months before this point, I was surprised to learn that I took away new techniques that I hadn't been using. We also focused on some LR question types that give me trouble. I actively processed through these question types, and he explained a certain technique (found on the PDF) that simplifies the question. Besides clearly being knowledgeable and experienced, Scott also took the time to listen to my concerns fully and thoroughly answer them. My experience was also personalized to fit my needs. If anyone is looking for a tutor, I highly recommend Scott. I feel much more confident for my June LSAT. Good luck to everyone!

Hi all! I am currently studying to take my LSAT in September. I am fairly new at studying ( I did previously take my LSAT in 2024.. bombed it ) and have run into a very annoying issue of eliminating all answer choices but two, getting to blind review, choosing the alternative answer choice and getting it right in the blind review. I'm still new so I am trying to cut myself a break and just say " study more" but I am wondering if you all have any tips at closing this gap?

Also, does anyone have any tips of breaking down stims? Any hacks or alternative resources? I feel like I take a long time doing it.... Could also be because I am new but anything would help! :)

Hi is anybody else having problems getting on study room last 2 days?
