Hi! It'd be super helpful if there was a breakdown of each section within a preptest in this menu, for example

section 1 lr: 80% fresh

section 2 lr: 0% fresh

section 3 lr: 100% fresh

section 4 rc: 100% fresh

Hi. When practicing untimed RC sections I am right where I need to be in terms of my score, and normally am only over by a minute or two for time. When I do a section timed however, I miss double, and find myself using half my allotted time for the first two passages. I turn the timer off to try to help stress, but doesn't seem to work. Any other tips? Thanks!

Am I the only delusional one that's secretly hoping the Sept LSAT is on the easier side after hearing how the August LSAT crushed a lot of people?

One way or another - to all my fellow Sept test takers -- WE GOT THIS!!!

Hey folks!

I am taking my first LSAT in six days. I was wondering if anyone had helpful advice to prepare for test day. I am consistently scoring my goal score, but I wouldn’t mind boosting it a bit more. Is it a good idea to take more PTs or should I let my brain rest?

Any advice is welcome. Good luck to everyone taking the September test!

I'm so disappointed man... During the summer, before college started, I, was doing so well, My scores broke 160, I rarely ever lost more than 5 points on RC and LR. But todays PT, and of recent, have just been deplorable. Last weeks PT was 157, todays PT is 155, i haven't scored a PT in the low 160's since 3 weeks ago... I'm so tired of all of this. My official is next week too, like, cmon man.

I have 2 options for my law school resume. One is more detailed and two pages, and it includes work experience, projects, technical skills (I am a software engineer), School Activities, and Scholarships/ Awards I won. The other is a 1-page resume that includes only my work experience and projects. Which do law schools prefer?

I graduated from undergrad in 2023 and have been working in the legal field ever since. On my resume, should I include the job that I had during college? It was a barista job, but I was in management and was a part of a voluntary DEI committee that would give presentations to stores in the franchise. On one hand, I'm not sure how relevant it would be given that I left that job 3+ years ago. On the other hand, would it be smart to include to maybe show that I was working 30+ hours a week while going to school full time in person? I'm not sure of which direction to go and would love some feedback. Thanks!

Hi all, I’ve been getting back into heavy LSAT studying before the September LSAT (after being super sick and also busy with personal matters for 1-2 months) and I’ve noticed that I’ve been feeling pretty inconsistent with RC sections (ranging from -0 to -6, even).

Would anyone be able to give me advice on how to be more consistent and how to improve on timing? I think timing has really affected me the most on my consistency because sometimes I do feel rushed on some questions or I spend too long on certain questions which ends up throwing me off (and sometimes I end up still getting the answer wrong along with others).

Thanks so much.

How do I see which section is an experimental section? For example for a PT can i see which section is exp. so i can just do that section?

Hi all,

I'm currently a full-time firefighter in NYC, parent, husband etc., looking to attend law school part-time in the NYC area. I intend on beginning my 1L year in fall of 2028, with my anticipated LSAT in June of 2027. I also consult/teach mental performance and leadership in high-risk settings on the side. Undergrad GPA is 3.6, with 3.8 in graduate courses (never finished degree, St. John's), and my first cold diagnostic was a 144 (two weeks ago, shooting for a 170, because why not?!). Currently using 7Sage long with the PowerScore Bibles. Being that I have a fairly non-traditional background, can anyone who is deeper into this journey offer some insight/encouragement/advice? Being that I have two young children who drain the life/money out of us, securing money is a HUGE piece of this.

Hi all, I have been doing pretty well on RC lately but got hit pretty hard by PT133.S4.P3. I am trying to increase speed a bit and do little less annotating as some of the things like tone, perspective, ect are becoming second nature to recognize, and I think I also have been trying not to get too bogged down with the details in the passage, and try to see how other content and structure can help me understand it.

This passage was a science passage that requires a good understanding of the phenomenon that was occuring. I think I let myself be too high level and not take the time to fully understand the phenomenon and details to the extent needed for the questions.

I think with hindsight I could have eliminated answers more easily, but has anyone done this pasagebefore or have similar issues with some science passages? Or even is there some changes to my approach I should consider.

And FYI, really happy I did so badly on this one cause I think it shows a gap in my current methodology that I can hopefully address.

I'm taking the LSAT for the first time on the 10th and I just dropped my lowest PT score yet. I have been on a tight LSAT schedule and I've only taken 5 practice tests total, and got my lowest score yet by a few points, making it a 12 point range from my high score a week ago to the one I took today. I am for sure a little rattled and do not have the confidence I was hoping to have going into the final week of prep. General advice seems to be to not take a PT within a week of your test date, so this is probably the last PT score I'm looking at before test day.

Do people have advice on how to build confidence in the week up to my test?

I believe a key to major improvement is yes, being able to identify the question types and its reasoning patterns/flaws. But the key things also identifying your own reasoning patterns. Once you're able to identify how your brain is thinking and processing information, you can train from there to become disciplined in the way the LSAT reasons.

Takeaway: Discover what your lsat blinders are and weaken it!!!!!!!!!

Hey y’all, anyone know off rip the similarities in terms of LR Question types in PT 151 and PT 157? (Trying to figure out if these PTs had more of a certain Q type or na)

Yall think mindset is key to comprehending and thus answering correctly? For Both LR and RC

How to not fall alseep (I read the most boring —to me, sorry old photography lovers— passage about old photo techniques PT 139??) when a passage isn’t something I’m interested in and the passage is dense and or jargony?

Thank Youuuuu

Hey everyone! When you are reviewing questions and using the explanation videos, do they also randomly exit out of the video mutiple times? I have to re-open the video to have it continue. It's very annoying, especially since I have to do it mutiple times for one question.

What does an independent tutor need to open this link? It doesn’t work

I understand how to diagram premises 1 and 2 and why overlooking the fact that some computer scientists may not appreciate is a flaw, but I, for the life of me, cannot understand how the author's conclusion diagrams out to "computer scientist -> appreciate tech advancements." I interpret the conclusion as only those who appreciate advancements are computer scientists, so if you appreciate the advancements, you must be a computer scientist (appreciate advancement -> computer scientist). I don't understand how an only those statement in premise 2 would differ in diagramming from an only those statement in the conclusion. Thank you SO much in advance.

Pic of question below

So I have basically 0 volunteer experience due to working 60~ hours a week right out of college. I was wondering if I could add the fact that I did freelance art commissions online through college and donated all proceeds to a small political party raising funds for COVID relief for low income families.

Also, I run a forum for survivors of a particular type of CSA, where I make blog posts breaking down studies and stuff. It's very small and I just started it a few months ago after an existing forum I was active on fell apart (coding it myself, few members right now)

Are either of these significant enough to include on my resume under the "other" section instead of a full on volunteer work section? Or will it sound like I'm just searching for things to put on?

I am looking for a tutor to help me prepare for the LSAT exam in November or January depending on when I feel ready. I am struggling with where to start and how to progress.

Looking for a tutor in Canada, ideally in Alberta. But, anywhere is fine.

Hi everyone! I'm looking for a tutor for the January 2027 test, I just started a few months ago, but I am really struggling to improve. I am looking for someone who can help me grasp the techniques and improve fast ( I would like also a strict tutor!!!!) I am in Korea, so I would need a tutor who can accommodate that. I need help with both LR and RC, but I want to focus more on LR at the moment. I would like to meet via zoom before starting an actual class to hear about the study plans that you may have for me! Please reach out if you think we could work together!

Heads up that I'm hosting another pre-test support group session today. Come listen to others' stories, give and receive advice, and feel like you're in good company as you approach next week's test.

Love y'all -- see you soon.

Just wanted to share a photo of my beloved Topaz! I got this ergonomic chair yesterday, and she’s already claimed it as hers. If you have back pain, get a new chair immediately. It was not cheap, but it’s going to save me so much pain! Especially as an online writer of the LSAT!

I am a non traditional First Gen College/Law Student and have somehow found myself on my last LSAT attempt. My first attempt was a 142-Cancelled, 2nd was 148-Kept, 3rd and 4th were cancelled they were 147/148 (don't remember which was which). I am fully aware of how bad that looks and do plan to do an LSAT addendum. My GPA was 3.84, but my LSAC GPA is a 3.09, there is an addendum with support from my undergrad as to why.

In 2024/2025, I applied with the 148 and was waitlisted and ultimately denied at my top choice (which is very surprising because their median LSAT averages 169-172 and GPA 3.8-3.9), denied at my 2nd and 3rd. Got in to quite a few others, some with scholarship, but not enough to make it, especially now with the borrow limits.

I do have a master's now that I did not have the first time I applied, and my GPA was 3.93, which I know doesn't count, but figured it will look good.

My question is- Has anyone ever gone from 148 or similar to mid 160s or higher? How long did it take you, and what did you do to get there? How often did you study, and what did those study sessions look like?While I don't have a set time frame, I am in my 30s and feel like time is ticking.
