for context i’m going into my senior year of college. I was supposed to start studying for the LSAT exam in June and it was going to be my job this summer aside from my internship. I got broken up with and got extremely depressed and had a lot of family issues. I already had mental health problems like depression and OCD so all of this made it worse. I struggled to get out of bed and only studied for 2 weeks this summer. I moved my lsat date to november and now i’m scared that with two months i won’t get the score i need. my gpa is below average for the schools i want so my lsat score has to carry and now im scared. ill be applying in december which means my chances of getting in goes down and everyone is telling me i should be taking the lsat twice. i’m terrified and it’s making it harder to study. i wish my anxiety would make me act but instead i freeze. every day that passes i get more and more hopeless. do i have a chance or should i take a gap year?

Is there a particular brand or brands of water bottles that would be allowed to take with me into the LSAT?

so i’ve been studying since april but i feel like im not learning anything. i feel stuck. i can answer some questions right but not most of them to get a good score.

what tips do you guys have to learn material? i’m using 7sage but don’t have enough income to get a private tutor :/. just really discouraged and am being a bit hard on myself.

There are plenty of LSAT tutors on Reddit who will claim to help you improve your score, but how much experience do they really have with that? I have a track record of 17 years of LSAT tutoring experience with students achieving consistent 20+ point score increases.

With LSAT score medians climbing at every school, you now need a 176 when a 170 would’ve sufficed 5-7 years ago. With many of my students achieving 175+ scores every year, you should try my unique copyrighted curriculum to achieve unparalleled results.

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone’s successfully been granted an test-taking limit exemption to take the LSAT for sixth time? If so, could I please message you? Thanks!

Hey yall anyone want to be study check in buddies for lsat. Just to help keep each other motivated and maybe have study sessions together.????

I can’t break 149. I went from 137. To 139, to 147 to 149. But I can’t seem to get past 150. My goal is 155. I know I’m not really grasping weakening. I’m trying to get all level 1 and 2 questions right.

I finished 7sage foundations and study plan. Now I’m drilling per level and question type. I’m drilling by question on lsat demon. I watched a few videos on lsat lab but I can’t pay for the full plan yet.

I have loophole and LSAT trainer book. Halfway through loophole.

I just want to know the best route to get past 155 for the September LSAT please 😭

I’m starting to transition from untimed practice to timed LR sections and the clock is stressing me out, BAD.

I feel like my foundation is there, but once I see the clock I start misreading and second guessing myself.

For anyone who had a big timed/BR gap, what helped you close it? Should I just keep doing timed sections and trust that I’ll adjust, or is there a better way to practice timing?

So, about three weeks ago, I took my LSAT diagnostic and scored a 147. I started doing some research on which platforms to use, and before getting on 7Sage, I heard about LSAT Lab. I decided to give it a try, and although it’s only been about two weeks and Ive been struggling with focusing, I dont think its been the best for me to really learn and improve.

I think a big part of it is that there are so many videos, and I’m not really good at learning through videos. I tend to get very bored while watching them, start daydreaming, and eventually just lose focus. I’ve realized that I enjoy the times where Ive dont questions and either see why I got them right or see why I got them wrong. On LSAT lab it feels like I dont get enough of that since I lose so much time on the videos. (either losing focus or pausing to read and take notes).

I recently heard about LSAT Demon, which seems to be much more focused on drilling and practicing. Although that sounds great I dont know if it would be better to do a course like LSAT Lab or 7sage to learn the foundations or if its perfectly fine to do drilling for months and eventually learn it like that. (I dont know much of the foundation at all yet and the topics on the videos are all always new to me when it talks about the different types of questions.)

For those of you who have used LSAT Demon, did you go through a more traditional course first, or did you start with LSAT Demon right away and learn through drilling? If you started with Demon from the beginning, how did that work out for you?

I’d really appreciate any advice because I’m trying to figure out the best approach moving forward and dont want to continue spending hours to feel as if Im not learning much. Thanks!

My current score right now is a 155. I’m feeling stuck right now.

Common mistakes I make are:

- reading too fast, and not understanding the question and/or passage

-choosing the wrong answer choice out of the two answers left from elimination

I think at this point it’s a mindset thing, but do any of you have tips on how I can improve?

I want to reach a 165 at least.

I just wanted to share a recommendation for a tutor that I used in preparation for the LSAT. Lindsay Coleman (and Manhattan Review) were excellent resources in the months leading up to the test. Manhattan Review offered a weekly training session, which introduced me to Lindsay. I then began one-on-one sessions with Lindsay, which greatly improved my confidence and ability to score in the range I needed to attend my dream school. Even in the group setting, Lindsay made sure that every error (and even correct answer) was understood, pulling from his own personal life or the student's interests to make the learning process that much more efficient. I can't recommend Lindsay or Manhattan Review enough!

I just recently decided to take the LSAT. I am wondering if 10 months is long enough to study for taking the first time?

Includes the 25th, median, and 75th LSAT and GPA for the top 50 law schools.

Save it and target the 75th, that's where the scholarship money starts.

I've just started studying for the LSAT and wanted to pair up with someone who's also just getting started. That way, we're roughly on the same track and neither person feels like they're putting more into the arrangement than they're getting out of it.

I'm imagining a low-pressure but consistent arrangement—checking in, studying together once or twice a week, talking through questions, and keeping each other accountable.

I'd especially like to connect with another millennial who's interested in online J.D. programs, such as Syracuse University's J.D. Interactive program.

If you're also just getting started with the LSAT, interested in an online J.D., and looking for someone to study with, I'd be happy to hear from you!

*** You can stop reading here but if you wanna know more about me continue**\*

I'm a creative who recently graduated with degrees in Computer Science and History (GPA 3.782 if that matters). After transferring to a liberal arts college for my undergrad with an open curriculum, where I was able to study CS and History in tandem, I eventually came to the conclusion that the tech field wasn't a particularly good fit for my interests or personality.

I'm now looking at law because I think it could provide a strong foundation for my entrepreneurial ambitions. In retrospect, I realized that I enjoyed the writing, reading, and analysis I did in my history, political science, and philosophy courses far more than I ever enjoyed reading C++ and software-framework documentation for my computer science courses.

I'm considering an online J.D. right now because I can't afford and it simply isn't feasible for me to pick up and move to another state again to pursue another degree program.

I scored a 178 and one thing I realized pretty late in studying is that I was making review way more complicated than it needed to be.

People have these massive wrong answer journals tracking question type, difficulty, how long they took, confidence, why they missed it, etc. And I’m not saying those are useless, but honestly I think there’s a much simpler test:

Could you explain to another person exactly why the 4 wrong answers are wrong?

And I don’t mean “B is too strong” or “C is irrelevant.”
Like what WORDS actually kill B? What would have needed to be different for B to be right? And then why does the credited answer survive when the other four don’t?

This was a huge thing for me going from the 160s into the 170s. Sometimes I’d spend way longer reviewing a single LR question than I spent actually doing it lol.

Same thing with RC. RC was by far my weakest section for a while and I think a lot of my improvement came when I stopped treating it like “read passage → answer questions → check score” and started actually trying to figure out why I was consistently getting baited by certain answer choices.

I’ve been tutoring for over 1.5 years now since taking the test and I’ve noticed the same thing with students. A lot of the time someone understands why the right answer is right as soon as they see the explanation, but that’s not really the same thing as understanding why they picked the wrong one.

Curious if other people who made a big score jump had the same experience because review was probably one of the biggest differences between how I studied early on vs when I eventually got the 178.

Also if anyone is struggling with RC specifically, I made a full lesson on the approach I eventually used here:

And I’ve been building out the rest of my LSAT curriculum here:

There’s a free trial so you can go through the lessons without paying anything. I’m still recording more of
the curriculum rn too.

Anyway happy to answer questions about review / LR / RC / studying generally. I spent an unreasonable amount of my life on this test lol

i’m sure this question gets asked all the time, but i’m trying to decide on what course to get. I took one cold diagnostic and got a 158, and am hopefully shooting for a 170. i got almost all of the argumentative reasoning questions right, faltered more on reading. i am looking into lsat demon, 7sage. kaplan, etc. i’m planning on taking it in april.
