I take the April exam, and today I wanted to go to campus and do a full PT at the same time as I am going to next week. I came into the exam feeling good, but by the second half I found myself feeling so discouraged that I knew I did poorly.

However, I did not even fathom getting as low as I did. I take the exam in a week and have been feeling good about it, and now I am trying to figure out how to not spiral after doing so poorly on this PT. Pls help, this exam is killing me.

Does anyone have any RC drill types they like to do? I often find myself doing single-passage drills, focusing on having a solid read, getting a good grasp of the main idea, noting structural features, and finding support for my answers, but I was curious if anyone has found any drill styles they like to do to shake things up (for example, highlighting drills where you highlight support for each AC, speed drills, etc.). Thanks for any thoughts!

Hello everyone, I am taking the LSAT this Friday and I need to squeeze a few extra points out of RC. I've struggled with it ever since I started studying but was able to go from -7/-8 consistently to -4/-5 and on occasion -2/-1. I just took PT 159 and got a 167; the vast majority of errors were in RC. On both the regular and experimental RC sections I got a -9, much worse than I have done in the past or on my last few PTs. I got a -3 on both LR passages combined. I find the newer RC passages much or difficult than the ones in the past and its been throwing me off though even still -9 is the worst score I have gotten in months. I honestly only need to get back to what my average seems to be in order to be in the 170s but taking that PT was a bit demoralizing. Also is it true that the comparative passage is completely gone or is it on some exams but not others? Thanks everyone!

Hello!! Would it be possible for a feature to be created to go back and do BR if you accidentally clicked "Skip Blind Review?"

Thank you and God bless!

Given that we know the relative difficulty distribution of questions (~15-20 is where it gets tough), has anyone tried and been successful with going straight to the harder questions?

I have been going through the Foundations portion of the Lesson Plans, and was on the section of Necessary and Sufficient indicators. I did notice that one of the lessons said that if we are practicing these, we are eventually going to become natural with these if we have months of practice. However, if we are on a time crunch and have 1 month or so, and are already scoring low 150s, what area is more beneficial to focus on mastering in order to achieve maybe 5-10 points more?

Yeah, he DNP'd Austin Reaves and Rui. He also treated Taurean Prince like he was his own flesh and blood. But is he wrong when he tells us to read and understand the stimulus before moving on to the answer choices? Hell no! So go hard on them LSAT questions! Salute!

Is there a way to blind review a practice test I accidentally chose not to? I haven't looked at the answers... I just need an "undo" button to go back and select the right link to blind review. I'm so frustrated I did that and am hoping it is fixable. Has anyone else been in this situation before and been able to troubleshoot?

Hi there! My name is Ariana, and I am aiming to either write the June or August LSAT this summer, going for a 170. I will be studying at UofT come mid-April, and am looking for anyone who is motivated and driven to join! My hours would be 9-5pm, probably in Robarts or other libraries on campus. Let me know if you are interested!

Anywhere you see a tag on the website, hover over it for more information! Handy dandy!

Also, we've added a ton of tags for common flaws like ad hominem arguments and false dichotomies! Dandy handy!

Shoot us any ideas you have for what information you'd like to see in these tooltips.

I know you can filter to show only the most recent PT and drill data but I want to start fresh w a blank slate. Is it possible to wipe everything without having to manually delete hundreds of drills? If so is there a way to retain my notes and bookmarked questions?

Hi! I'm suffering from the classic issue of struggling to break free of the -4/-3 rage on timed sections and PTs, -1/-0 on BR. My BRs are consistently around 175 or higher, but the end goal is to avoid making those silly mistakes on the real thing. For those consistent 170+ scorers, were there any concepts, sayings, things you heard, or anything in your studying habits that just made things click? It could be regarding a specific question type, a common trap you were falling for, a classic flaw, anything.

If I opt in to make monthly payments for tutoring hours, is there an option to pay off the remaining balance early?

Hi! I am really struggling and would love any help/tips regarding taking sections or study schedules. For the past month, I've consistently been stuck at 159/160 and have yet to break 160. I am aiming for June and really want a 170+. I just did another section today and got a 159 and 172 BR. I am extremely frustrated and have no idea how to choose the correct answer between 2, not fatigue during the exam, understand RC, etc. I've been doing 1/2 reading passages throughout the week and drilling level 3-5 questions and reviewing them all each day - I'm not sure where I should go next. If anyone could please let me know what helped them, that would be great! Thanks so much!

You've been grinding through your LSAT prep and finally start seeing scores in the mid-to-high 170s, only to fall back to the high 160s on your next practice test. Sound familiar? In this episode, @AlexJacobs and @BaileyLuber break down a question from a student dealing with exactly that kind of score variance. They discuss what's behind those frustrating swings, how tension and underconfidence can quietly tank a score, whether a partly fresh PT can inflate your results, and what you can actually do to build consistency when you're trying to break out of a plateau. If you've been stuck in a score range and can't figure out why your best performances aren't sticking, this one's for you.

I am a non-traditional student currently working as an executive full-time (CEO) in a high-stress field. I have been studying for about a year and am scheduled to test on April 9.

My mom passed away on Monday morning after a long battle with cancer, and because I travelled to support my parents, I haven't gotten much sleep in the past week. I think because of the stress and travel, I also got sick and have had a fever of 104-102 for the last few days. I need to stay to support my Dad until next Tuesday, so I will be flying for 12 hrs 2 days before I test.

I am deeply concerned that I will not test as well as I have the potential to, given the strain of the last few weeks, but I also feel like that's a cop out....if I were prepared in the first place, I should do as well as I would have anyway.

Should I just power through and have confidence that my prep will bolster my performance? Is it even possible to reschedule without penalty at this point? If I don't test, then I miss my last shot at this admission cycle, correct? If I test poorly, is it bad form to explain the circumstances?

Hello,

Does anyone have an interest in joining a daily reading comp study group? I took some classes with Bailey, who suggested reading a passage per day. The group is open to all skill levels. Ideally, we can work on the first passage on a reading comp section on one day and the next day do the second passage and continue the pattern. We will complete one passage per day and go through the passage, questions and answer choices with a fine-tooth comb to get a great understanding of the passage.

I'm open to meeting daily from 9 AM to 5 PM, PST.

Happy studying!

hi, if you start off with a really poor lsat grade but end up improving to the score you want does that look bad to admissions since they now look at all your scores? what kind of impact does it have if any on admissions. thx in advance 4 any info.

I am reading the Economist to study for law school, as someone here or on reddit had mentioned it as a good way to learn how to write in law school. I am wondering if it is also good for reading comprehension. If so, does anyone have any tips for how to study using The Economist?

For example, I am currently thinking of reading an article, then summarizing the main points of the article and the conclusion, and as an extra step, try to state my own opinion on the article. Let me know your thoughts in the comments. TIA

Hi guys!! My name is Grace and I am currently averaging in the mid to high 160s on my practice tests. I want to hit and break the 170 mark! I will be back from college in early May and would love to have some people to study with and do weekly tests with to hold each other accountable. Also happy to meet with people virtually too!!

Please add a feature to detect duplicate copies of different drills opened, but not started. It would be great to see a full list of drills & duplicates at once, in addition to the scrolling list, as currently provided. An additional feature to select and delete all duplicates would be great too!! Please consider!!!

Hi all, is anyone interested in getting a study group going? I'm aiming for the June lsat and need to really focus. I work full time and available after 5pm on weekdays and afternoons on the weekend.

So I was at the AAC for the Mavs game and I saw this on the jumbotron. Do you guys think this is a sign?

Feeling burned out right before test day? In this episode, @AlexJacobs and @BaileyLuber tackle a question from Sharon, who's been studying for six months and has hit her target score on multiple practice tests but is battling mental fatigue with the April LSAT just days away. The hosts share practical advice on what to do (and what not to do) in the final stretch, including how to structure light study sessions, when to stop taking full practice tests, and why this last week is more about protecting your score than improving it. Bailey also shares a candid look back at her own LSAT journey and the lessons she learned the hard way across four attempts.
