Delaying Until August LSAT

Currently, I’m signed up for the June LSAT but am worried that I am rushing into it. I took the February LSAT and got a 160. Since then, I went back to the basics, did some studying and scored a 168 on my first PT back. However, after that I scored a 160 and a 161 and I am worried that I might be “wasting” an LSAT by doing it in June since I don’t want to take more than 3 LSATs and am considering taking it in August.

Here are roughly my pros and cons:

June

Pros: (1) would allow me to start on my applications while I wait for score, (2) would be earlier enough to allow me to prepare for the September or October one if I needed to retake, and (3) many of the errors I am making now are errors that I pick up on blind review / can increase as I get my stamina back up.

Cons: (1) potential to not increase much (wasting my second attempt) and (2) only one month more of studying to get to a consistently higher score.

August

Pros: (1) two more months of studying and potential to get more consistent, and (2) can help with confidence

Cons: (1) would limit me to taking October since I think September would be too soon (thus, applying later) (2) summer gets more complicated and I’m worried that studying might get more inconsistent, (3) probs will dedicate less time to applications.

Appreciate any thoughts and considerations!!

Hey all. I am looking to form a study/accountability group for the Aug 2025 LSAT. I currently test in the low-160s with a goal score of 168. I am located in Western Canada and can meet virtually 1-2 times a week. Also would be down to support each other through the admissions process!

Feel free to inbox me if you are interested and I will share details.

Thanks!

Best way to drill RC?

My RC score is holding me back and I have a lot of issues with timing. I'm missing questions on every passage, with more towards the later ones. What's a good way to drill RC besides doing whole sections?

I'm starting to feel like I'll never get into law school. I live in the DC area and have to stay here for work, and though I know the surrounding schools are very competitive, I'm just not sure what to do beyond just taking the LSAT over and over until I hopefully crack 170.

My current score is 165, my aggregate GPA was dragged down by my first year of college (leaving a cult and its associated university at the time), but it's still close enough to the median I'd need. I worked full-time for the rest of my degree program between a community college and UMGC (online).

Because most of my professors were online, I've never met any of them, and it doesn't really make sense to ask for a recommendation from someone I've never spoken to. As for my career, I've essentially worked in e-commerce for the past 10 years. That doesn't really translate well for most people. Finally, I have no diversity bonus points for an add-on essay.

Is there anything I can do to fix this? I'm on year 2 of waitlists without a single interview.

No, my personal essays are not dwelling on the items listed above. I don't mean to rant or complain, but I'm having a tough time. I'm not really sure what I'll do next if I'm never admitted.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated. I wish I had several thousand dollars to shell out to an admissions councilor, but I just don't right now. I wish everyone else the best of luck!

Calling other non-trads. My youngest child is heading to college, and I am considering law school. I hold a BA in Human Physiology and an MBA and I am currently a COO of a tech and media co.

Let me know if you are interested in creating a non-trad study group.

Hi everyone,

I've put together a Discord for anyone who considers themselves a "Non-Traditional" law school applicant. Please just send me a quick message if you'd like an invite link!

I've messaged everyone who responded to my previous post as well, so be sure to check your inbox for that link!

The server is intended to give LSAT study accountability, general support, and resources/help for one another. Again, feel free to send me a private message and I'll send you an invite link!

I've been going through the PT'S sequentially since pt 36. Got my best score on the last one I took which was pt64 and then yesterday i took pt 65. What was that!? Two 5star rc passages, extremely unusual lr questions, it was a nightmare. Did anyone else take this pt and halfway through felt like they've never taken a pt before?

Accountability partner

Hi everyone, I'm looking for an accountability partner to study for the LSAT with the goal of taking the test in August/September. If you're also preparing for the LSAT and want to stay motivated, share resources, and keep each other on track, let's connect! The goal would be to meet once or twice a week to discuss modules/drills we are seeking to complete next week while reviewing last week's progress.

how do you guys do MBT and MSS conditional logic questions quickly / in a timely manner? When I am doing a timed run sometimes the language of the stim feels like gibberish to me so that doesn't help because I'm re-reading it several times. Then I also feel like diagramming the whole thing takes too much time. From there I'm already tempted to skip it. However, in BR, the answer feels way more obvious once I understand the logic at play -- it just takes too long to grasp the logic at play. If anyone feels the same as me, how did you 1. read the stimulis without freaking out / decipher it without needing to read it a million times 2. do you diagram it ? or do the inferences stand out in your head quite quickly? 3. Was it a matter of just drilling these questions more and then you got the hang of it ?

I have an accommodation to not have the experimental on my test (much longer story). I’ve just been doing PTs and immediately turning in the experimental part so it marks it all as wrong. However, this means my analytics are very warped because I thinks I just keep missing a section. Is there a way to exclude these from the analysis?

Thanks!

Internships

How important are internships I have never had one and don’t know what to do from here. I have been trying to get one and I have been having no luck.

Something I wish I had earlier during LSAT prep: someone to hold me accountable to what I said I’d do. Not a tutor, just someone who helped me follow through.

For example, I use a weekly accountability system for my work. Basically, it’s a weekly call with a coach where I decide what matters most, make a clear plan, and follow up each week. Just having someone expecting to hear from me has made a big difference. I feel like I can trust myself to do what I planned to.

I've tried a few study groups. Some were helpful, but it was hard to find people who would actually check in midweek, or show up consistently.

Have y'all had similar experiences with study groups? And does anybody here think they'd find that type of accountability valuable for studying?

I graduated undergrad in May 2020, looking to apply to law school for the fall 2026 cycle. What has been dawning on me recently is the letters of recommendation. Since July 2020, I've been working at the same company and can get 2-3 kick-ass LORs. However, for ones from a professor - I never really had strong connections with my professors from undergrad, nor do I think they would remember well enough if I asked at this point.

Is it fine if I just go with the professional recs? Or is it really necessary to get at least one from undergrad? I just think the professional ones will resonate/carry more weight than any I get from a professor that I haven't kept in touch with, was close to, nor remembers me too well. I had a 3.756 GPA, if that's a potential question for me. Thanks for any feedback.

I am dying on these NA, SA, PSA questions. I don't seem to know what the QS is wanting me to look for in the AC's. I get one right and 3 wrong. I do great on MC, MSS, PAI, and strengthen. I seem to struggle once I reach NA, SA, PSA, and weaken.

What is the QS really asking me to look for? Which of the 5 AC's MBT? or Which of the 5 makes the stem most true? I feel like there has to be an easy "NA for dummies" explanation that I am missing. JY's basketball example makes perfect sense- 'I can't be one of the greatest BB players alive if I don't know how to dribble'. That makes common sense. Then I get on a live class and there's a question about something I have never heard of with ridiculously convoluted language and that BB does nothing to help me identify the correct AC.

Can anyone put this in basic terminology that makes sense? I understand the difference between NA and SA- 'beating the NBA all star team single handedly vs do I know how to dribble' but I cannot seem to understand what the questions are wanting me to do. I also feel like I am struggling more on the topics that JY didn't provide videos for. Please tell me I am not the only one feeling this way.

Can't start drills?

It appears I have trouble starting any type of drill. The "start drill" button is greyed out and isn't clickable. Am I doing something wrong? Lol

Hello all!

I’m starting a small LSAT sprint group for those of us scoring 160+ and aiming toward 175–180.

The idea is to have a consistent weekly rhythm: we’ll set a few specific goals, check in mid-week, and reflect at the end. There’s also a short Monday Zoom call to wrap one sprint and start the next.

A little about me: I tutor part-time and slowly working my way up through practice tests. I’m currently scoring in the high 170s on PTs, and my last official score is 173. I’m aiming for 180 and wanted to build a consistent study community of like-minded learners to keep momentum, and hopefully to meet others who are pushing for the same thing!

This is for people who are committed and willing to show up. If that’s you, DM me for the invite. Comments won’t get a response — just want to make sure folks are actually reading before joining :)

Good luck to everyone studying!

Re: Argumentative Writing

Hey all! Quick question: I am writing the June LSAT and my argumentative writing section opens on May 27th. I am wondering if the section can be completed at any time of the day. So in other words, is it time specific in any way? I am thinking of doing it at night so that it's extra quiet at my house. TIA!
