I’m aiming for a 165+ and my drilling has been consistently in the 160s, I haven’t done many sections and PTs because i’ve really been focused on untimed drilling and trying to understand the test at its foundations
Should I begin to shift into sections? and relax off of drilling?
Looks like the LSAT has been slowly updating the coming changed interface. Now, at least, the full list of questions appears at the bottom of the screen (unlike before, which showed 10 question numbers at a time, so you couldn't see at a glance what you'd done and what you had remaining).
It looks like the feedback is working. Keep bugging them!
Demo available here: https://app.lawhub.org/lsat-demo
Really struggling to get my bearings on this one. Obviously I see why A could be the answer, but I fail to see why C cannot be.
Essentially, here is my thought process. The stim says that the deficiency of vitman D occurs frequently (Not Always). Therefore, those (some) not afflicted by a vitamin D deficiency could solve their calcium deficiency by drinking milk, if the milk doesn't cause calcium deficiency?
The only really things I can see is that C says "does not contribute" rather than does not cause, which isn't totally necessary for my line of reasoning.
I appreciate any help.
Thanks!
Trying to decide among the following:
Interested in hearing feedback about other suggestions that are not on this list as well.
I’ve heard that 7sage is best for their core curriculum, LSAT is good for drilling, and LoopHole is good for LR tricks.
All suggestions welcome!! I have a low uGPA from being a dumb twat in my late teens and 20s so obviously making up for it now. As with everyone, need the highest LSAT score possible 😩
You can use it here. Just enter a PT number and you'll see which section is experimental. The section types are hidden by default to keep spoilers to a minimum, but you can also use this to check section ordering on a PT:

Hope you find it helpful!
Most people shouldn't use this, to be clear. Four section tests are the most accurate.
But some people are short on time and don't have a stamina issue, and some people have an accommodation not to have an experimental. This lets you check with a minimum of spoilers.
The page also has info about the experimental. The most common myth I see is that experimentals on PTs are different than scored sections, but actually they're all from past official LSATs and all valid questions. There's more on this in the article.
Use this thread to ask questions, give tips, vent, or tell people how you're feeling. Good luck in your studies :)
I really need help with learning how to improve by going over my wrong answers. I read through all the explanations and have for months but I don't really get much out of it other then "huh, interesting". What are your techniques for improving your score by learning from your mistakes??
On a side note, I've had some major anxiety about the test. I started studying in January and was doing great the first 2 weeks studying for 4 hours a day and then majorly burned myself out. Since then it's been a struggle to get myself to do even an hour a day. I'll go a full week without studying once and it makes me sick to my stomach. I've signed up for the June test even though I'm not ready because I just need a deadline to work toward instead "I'll sign up when I'm ready". $300 bucks is a good incentive (except sometimes not because that paralyzing anxiety of an all or nothing mindset is still killer). Any tips for that???
a lot of people here and on adjacent subs say to take your first diagnostic blindly… for anyone like me who had no prior clue what the lsat entails, don’t do this!
it may seem like common sense (probably is—definitely is) but i took it a diagnostic blindly as a first-gen everything with no clue what was actually on the test other than logical reasoning and it being hard. i think it goes without saying, but i got VERY discouraged.
i’m now doing lawhub’s article section, taking notes (because i have a very bad memory), and doing the questions embedded in and in the videos. i’m already seeing better results and feeling more confident with what i’m doing. i HIGHLY recommend the articles for anyone just starting out and who has no clue where to start since it’s free and the only thing you need is an lsac account, which you need anyway to apply.
I'm seeing more and more students with this profile:
This is guaranteed failure. It is possible to jump 10+ points on the LSAT. It is almost never possible to do it in a couple of weeks, especially if you've been studying for a while.
What schools will see in this record is poor decision making. Choosing to do a thing when there is 0% chance of success. This is pure sunk cost fallacy.
Yes, you paid money to register for the LSAT. You can't get that money back. You're past the refund deadline. This means, you have two choices:
Take the LSAT
Cost:
Do not take the LSAT
Cost:
----
Option 2 is strictly better. There is no upside to taking it if you can't get the score you want. Taking the LSAT and not taking the LSAT cost the same amount of money, nothing.
The only way to get better at the LSAT is to focus on the underlying skills, not the timeline or test days. The LSAT is a test of reason, and making the rational choice not to fall into the sunk cost fallacy is the first step you can take to assessing things with reason.
Your LSAT takes and your time are precious, don't throw either one away. Take the LSAT when you're ready, withdraw if you're not. Cancelling is not a solution, you still lose the LSAT take and the time, and schools see the cancel.
So I'm taking the test in August. Got a 163 initial diag, hoping to get as close to 180 as possible. Just finished reading the Powerscore LR Bible and started on 7sage. I don't know anyone else studying for the LSAT right now and want someone to talk about this with who is also taking the test in August, preferably someone with a similar initial diag and goal who is also doing 7sage. Thanks in advance.
Hello everyone, as the title says I will be hosting classes on the upper west side of Manhattan
The study location will be the main conference room of my building – there are TVs available for us to connect to and drill together in person. There will be some structure to it, and I will also allow for structured one on one or group learning time.
Any score is welcome- please reach out to me if you’re interested.
Also, if you have a score over 170, please let me know that as well.
I am offering this entirely for free in order to prepare for June and August.
There will be a WhatsApp group created regarding this group. We will meet two times a week.
