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 😭

Hello all, I’m taking the test in both September and October, and I’m totally panicking. I want/need a 160+, and while I’ve had a few recent PT’s around there, I’m still incredibly worried about the LSAT. I’m 25 and did my undergrad a few years back but I can’t remember ever being so stressed out. I had a week off work last week and spent it studying, and since then i haven’t been able to stop thinking about the test. No matter what activities I do or have planned, I end up worrying I should be spending that time preparing for my exam. I’d be pretty heartbroken not to go to school after studying for 2+ years, but I’m worried that LSAT stress has taken me over completely:(. Any tips for how to stop thinking about the test?
Additionally if any one has any good resources for LR weakeners or flaws it would be much appreciated❤️

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!

Wondering if I should skip the RC unit on 7Sage, or just to skim it and move on to drilling.

Hi guys! I just recently took my first diagnostic test with no prior studying. I got a 164, which I can't say I'm mad at lol. My goal it to at least get a 175 and I plan on taking the LSAT in April or June of next year. Now I need to create a study game plan and I'm a little conflicted. I work full time at a law firm as like a combo administrative assistant/paralegal, so my job has a tendency to be mentally draining. I want to work towards getting my score up without hitting a total mental burn out. Is there any reasonable but effective study plans you guys can recommend?

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.

Hey everyone!

English is not my native language (my mother tongue is Spanish), and I’m just beginning my LSAT prep. While I feel comfortable with English in daily life, the extreme precision, complex logic structures, and tight time limits on the test are pretty intimidating.
For anyone who tackled the LSAT as a non-native English speaker (or is currently preparing), tips???

Thanks

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

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.

**Update**: I'm in the process of configuring a Discord server to make this both a rigorous and effective learning environment for all participants. I should have an invitation posted by the end of Friday.

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!

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.

Would anyone recommend this even if you are a beginner and have little knowledge to foundations? Because I’ve used maybe half of 7sage foundation before and it overwhelmed me.

I’m confused now and unsure if I should switch bag to 7sage? Because so far I’ve been drilling which is lsat demon approach

Basically title, what online tools have worked for you all to get 170+ on the LSAT? I used 7Sage for a few months and it got me to high 160s-170, but I was wondering if anyone thinks another platform is better for people trying to get into the low-mid 170s. Any advice or experience appreciated!

Hi everyone!

Does anyone have any tips for improving at Conditional Reasoning and Causal Reasoning in LR? These are the two concepts I consistently struggle with. I keep a wrong-answer journal and feel like I understand the explanations when I review them, but I still end up making the same mistakes when I see similar questions again.

If you have struggled with these before and found something that helped it finally click, I would really appreciate any advice. Thanks so much! :)

Hello everyone! I’m 25(F) currently in my second serious year of studying for this exam. I’m currently getting average practice scores from 157-159(current highest score 162) and aiming for a 160+. I’m testing in September and wondering if there are people in a similar spot who might want to be mutuals. I am hoping to make a group for support, specifically other girls in law. Please comment or PM if you’re interested in joining a thread like this! :)

I took a timed LSAT practice test and received a diagnostic score of 159! I would like to take the November LSAT if possible but am also ok with taking it at a later point in time and applying in fall 2027. I work full time, so I realistically can dedicate about 10-12 hours/week. I have a 4.0 undergrad GPA, so a score in the low 170s is my goal.

I’ve seen 7Sage, LSAT Demon, LSAT Trainer, Power Score, and a few others recommended the most on this sub and wanted to get a better idea of which one may be a better fit for me based on my diagnostic score. My study habits during undergrad consisted of reading, writing, and flashcards.
