Hey everyone! I’m looking for some honest advice on how to approach my undergraduate education and LSAT preparation to give myself the best possible chance of getting into a top law school.
Here’s some background about me:
Current GPA: 4.0 at community college.
University: I’m planning to transfer to University of to complete my BBA with a concentration in economics
Work schedule: I work 45+ hours per week while balancing school.
Degree format: I’m considering completing my BBA online because of my work schedule, but I’m concerned about maintaining a high GPA. Would taking classes online or in person make a meaningful difference in terms of academic performance, learning, or law school admissions?
LSAT diagnostic: I scored a 124 on a timed diagnostic a couple of months ago.(plan to take in 3 semester)
Long-term LSAT goal: 175+.
My biggest challenge right now is figuring out where to start. I haven’t established a proper LSAT study routine yet, and I don’t want to waste time studying inefficiently.
I know a 124 to 175+ is an enormous jump, and I understand that there’s no guarantee I’ll reach that score. However, I have time before applying to law school, and I’m willing to work consistently toward that goal.
I have a few questions:
Would you recommend completing my BBA online or in person at, considering that I work 45+ hours a week and want to maintain the highest GPA possible?
Given my 124 diagnostic, what should my first steps in LSAT preparation be?
Would you recommend starting with free resources, textbooks, or a structured online course?
How would you balance LSAT preparation with a demanding work schedule and college coursework?
For those who started with a low diagnostic and eventually reached the 170s, what did your study routine look like, and how long did it take?
If you could start your LSAT preparation over again, what would you do differently?
I’m especially interested in hearing from people who have made significant score improvements while working or attending college full-time.
My priorities are maintaining a strong undergraduate GPA, building a sustainable LSAT study routine, and eventually reaching a 175+ score.
I’d appreciate any honest advice, personal experiences, or resources you think could help. Thank you!

Tell us how it went! What worked for you? What didn't work? Were you able to follow the Demon's advice of "treating it like another practice test," or did something get in the way?

Obviously this is probably a biased thread for this, but has anyone made the switch from 7sage to the demon and enjoyed it? I just haven’t been in love with the way 7sage explains a lot of questions and answers choices, and I think the accuracy method may be beneficial. Just took the October LSAT and plan on taking January.

This is PSA to anyone with physical disability trying to test remotely I had just had the worst experience ever. So I’m an ambulatory wheelchair user and I had spine surgery earlier this summer so got accommodation to test remotely. Big mistake- I should have just had my mom help and take me to the center.

- the virtual test security check is inaccessible. I knew I needed to show them the floor that was fine I just tilted my laptop but she needed me to bend down, get on the floor and show her underside of my chair. I told her I can’t bend she said I had to do it to start the test so I used the wall to lower myself and was able to somehow get up off the floor. I thought that would be it hard part was over I could finally start the test but then the test crashed in the middle of my second session and i needed to the whole process over again. Then a third time and after the third time i couldn’t get up off the floor… I asked if I could just take the test sitting on the floor but I couldn’t do that. She wouldn’t let me take it in my wheelchair either and she just ended the session before I could call LSAC 🤦🏽‍♀️
- I filed complaint and now I just have to have my mom take me during the make up session
- LSAC was useless too I called them all they could say was file a complaint with JD services

Hi demons,

Joined LSAT demon last month from a year on 7Sage, just took October LSAT. I’m pretty sure I bombed RC, but glad to take it to assess the testing conditions I guess.

Anyhow, many people say they mirror the way Nate or Ben reads a passage.

I do try to do this, but a lot of times they are not reading that fast?

If I read exactly as I see, don’t they make too many comments that wouldn’t suffice under time?

How exactly do you mirror?

Does everyone read the sentence, pause and truly engage, or is it during the sentence?

I’m very good at reading an LR stimulus but RC for me is: 24 min each passage with 1-2 wrong.

I’m just awful at RC. I don’t understand how to get faster. It’s gotten worse than my diagnostic, I had -7 on RC, but now I get -13, -15. 10/14 for accuracy on my last section.

I took a practice exam recently and scored -10 on one LR section and -3 on the other. What is the reason for this? It’s so frustrating because I know I’m capable of scoring high but I will randomly do so bad on a section. Usually I get between 4-6 wrong a section.
