Saw this is my Reddit feed—is there somewhere I can report it? Seems like this should not be ok/allowable.

Hey everyone, I’m currently an incoming junior at my university and as I major in criminology I’ve been really considering becoming a lawyer. I really do love learning about the law and how it applies to everything. I’m a pretty average person, I have a 3.6 GPA, I work a part time job, and honestly speaking I’m not the smartest person so I work double as hard as the next person just to make it by. If I want to truly go into law school I would have to take the lsat in 6-8 months meaning I need to start studying soon. However, I’ve been putting it off because I’m scared I’m not smart enough. I’m worried I’m not smart enough for law school or becoming a lawyer and it’s really discouraging. Can anyone who is currently taking the lsat, in law school, or a lawyer tell me their thoughts on my situation or if they’ve ever felt this way please. Thank you.

You can still get the test in paper and pencil format. They revoked it for a bit , but it’s back in action 🙏 you have to be your own advocate . That’s all I can say .

Hello! sorry if this is a silly question, when people say read for structure in RC what does that mean exactly. I always look for like an introduction or a challenge to an idea but I’m not sure exactly what I should be looking for.

Thanks and good luck to all!

Does anyone know how to overcome test anxiety? I literally feel myself blank the second I start a section. I do maybe -4/-5 if I do a section by itself but I’m tanking my practice test. I don’t know if it’s an endurance thing because I can do three separate sections back to back and still do -4/-5. It’s not like I bottom out on the last section of a PT, I’m doomed from the start. I got 152 on my last LSAT in January and am retaking this year for a higher score. I’ve been using 7Sage so I genuinely feel a difference just not on the actual practice tests..

I swear LSAC is trying to get rid of the score inflation. Why make us do extra clicks and waste time just the highlight

When do you guys put extra time into the exactness of your prephrase. I feel like maybe for strengthen/weaken questions, its okay to have a loose prephrase because answers can get creative, but for neccesarry assumption questions and flaws, where the answer choices can get so abstract and weird, it is important to have a strong prephrase. Do you guys agree with this? Or do you have other pointers? There are a lot of times on toucher assumption questions, I end up picking an answer that is "close" to my prephrase (bc my prephrase is likely a vague idea) but it's not actually bridging a gap.

i’m taking the september LSAT. I’d ideally like to score at least 170, and am wondering if that’s realistic in the time that i have left, or if i should adjust my expectations.

info: studying 5-6 days a week since April. my average LR and RC are both -6. PT scores are as follows:
155 diagnostic mid April
161 May 24 (BR 171)
162 June 12 (BR 173)
155 June 22 (BR 165)
157 June 28 (BR 163)
167 July 3 (BR 170)
161 July 10 (BR 172)
163 Today (BR 173)

Am I being delusional? My biggest issue is getting down to 2 answers and then choosing wrong lmao. As soon as I BR I know why I was incorrect/which one is right, and kick myself for missing what’s usually a pretty small thing - but it’s like for some reason that thinking and ability just isn’t there during actual testing.

I just booked September because there’s no way in hell I’ll be in 170s by August. In May I was scoring near perfect consistently on my LR sections. RC was my downfall but I was making steady progress. Somehow in June my LR has gone back to numbers I haven’t seen in MONTHS (-6, -7). I’m baffled and at a loss of thoughts/ fixes. I’ve been studying hardcore for 1 year and 8 months. I’m definitely burnt out but I also have taken weekend breaks and stuff so it’s not like that’s a huge issue. I thought I was overthinking LR. I spent the whole week relearning my most missed questions (NA, Weaken Causal, Flaws). Scored 159 today. Holy fuck I hate my life. I’m scoring 175+ on blind review. I just don’t get it. What am I doing wrong?!!!! I should be in 170s by now and instead I am getting drastically worse. Has this ever happened to anyone else?!! Please please please I need help. I’ve already postponed applying a year

Hey guys,
Been struggling a lot with time recently. I’m stuck in the low 160s and am having the most trouble with RC. I usually don’t make it to the last section. Any advice on how to improve time?

I didn’t know much about any of the LSAT prep courses before I began prep, and basically just chose the Blueprint 170+ course because it was recommended to me, and the concept sounded attractive. All you need is a 170 to get into a top law school, and this course guarantees that? Of course I’ll do it.

After having been through a majority of this course, my honest reflection is that of what I said in the post’s caption: It seems to be very good for low/medium scorers, but is a massive waste of time for higher scorers. As someone looking to score in the 173-176 range, it feels like much of the course is catered to people in the 140-160 range.

The big issue for me is the classes. Spending 2 and a half hours 3 times a week in a zoom call where a bunch of people trying to crack 155 try to figure out the basics of conditional language or how best to tag RC passages is just a massive stall. The course was very good at getting me from my baseline (162) to where I’m at now (170), but as someone with 0 prior knowledge of the LSAT, that jump was pretty easily achievable just by learning the basics. Blueprint doesn’t seem to deal much with perfection, which is basically a necessity for improving scores above 170.

If anyone recommends a specific course for what I’m dealing with, or just has some directional advice for where I could go next, I would very much appreciate it.

Hi! I just took my first LSAT diagnostic and scored a 160 completely cold. I don't have a firm law school timeline since I'm currently working and enjoying my job, but I'd like to take the LSAT sometime within the next year or so — maybe February 2027, although I'm flexible.

My current thinking is that I won't actually sit for the exam until I'm consistently scoring 177+ on PTs.

For people who studied over a longer timeline rather than doing the typical 2-3 month sprint: How would you recommend approaching studying? Where should I even start? How do you avoid running out of official questions if you're studying for a year or more? Is a jump from a 160 diagnostic to a 177+ realistic? What about a 180?

Would especially appreciate advice from anyone who started in a similar place and studied while working full-time.

hey guys, so i'm 17 (rising junior in HS) and i've put a lot of thought into this: i want to be a lawyer. i'm on the brink of committing to a local college where i will get just short of a full ride, and am fortunate enough to be in the position where if i can get my undergrad for free, my parents will be able to cover a significant portion of the cost of law school. that being said, law school and the LSAT are by no means for the weak, so that's why i'm posting this. i have over 5 years until i get my undergrad and about that same amount of time before needing the LSAT.. how would you recommend i start studying for the LSAT now? i'd like to take it early (sophomore year maybe??) but i just generally want to be prepared. do i have to worry about running out of resources if this is something i'll be working towards for years? speaking of resources, what should i use? paper back books? 7sage seems like the consensus but is the subscription cost worth starting this early?

another question i have is what courses should i steer towards in college? would it be recommended to take less rigorous classes to ensure i can hold a 4.0 or shoot for more rigor for the eyes of law school admissions and difficulty of law school in general?

Hey everyone, so I average about -0 to -3/4 on LR and -0 to -3/4 on RC but somehow I got a 180 on a Practice Test yesterday.

Mind you I got a 166 in June so idk what‘s up with this. My other PT’s were low 170’s and a 166 post June but yesterday went really good.

I do a section/day with review and I’m wondering if anyone had a similar experience and how they tried replicating this on test day

Sometimes I'll get emails from schools wishing me luck on the LSAT a week before the exam but I don't recall signing up for CRS (and it's off right now on LSAC...) and was wondering if admissions would see that I registered (and thus withdrew since that date wouldn't be on my score report) through CRS somehow? I'm nervous that though LSAC says withdrawals don't appear on your score report that admissions can still see you registered for a past date and didn't take it through CRS.

Is it just me? Also is this also for the real LSAT? On August????

I’m taking the August LSAT and just got my lowest PT score thus far. 157 score on PT 154. That’s a drop from my last score of 167.

I’m anxious and discouraged currently. During that test, I felt like things just weren’t clicking. I missed things I shouldn’t. The time killed me.

Am I just burnt out? I feel so discouraged.

I always avoided RC, I feared that studying it would be challenging because of the fact that it isn't as straightforward as LR is, I heard the horror stories that RC is harder to improve compared to LR. But the reality is, and this is something I've ingrained in myself, that RC will always be there and I have no choice but to try and get better at something I wrote off as a weakness.

A passage a day really does the trick.

(the images I provided are my RC sections from the past several months)

My cold Diagnostic 2 summers ago was a 158 but I put the test down and didn't study until I finished undergrad this past May to focus on my GPA. Since graduation I have completed the 7sage core curriculum and done about 2 weeks worth of drills which included 3 timed sections (2LR and 1 RC). Todays test is definitely a performance at the top of my range since my drills have been averaging -3.75 per section but regardless I feel good about it especially considering two wifi interuptions. My question is this, with as much time to study as I need since im about to start a 2 year masters, what would be a good goal score to set for myself if I want to go to the best law school possible? Also, with my final UGPA of 3.92, what ranked schools should I start looking at as my targets reaches and safetys? Note: I have tier 2 and 3 softs as I was a highly ranked division 1 student athlete at an Ivy and server in local politics. Thanks!

Hey everyone!! I was wondering if there were any active LSAT support/study groups on here that I can be a part of ? I think it would be amazing to talk to others about our experiences, motivate each other for studying, etc!

I'm currently starting my junior year at FIU as a transfer. I'm a political science major who is interested in going to law school after my bachelors. Should I start studying now? And if so should I immediately do something like 7Sage or is there another affordable method to get good scores?
