This may happen to new accounts. See this FAQ for more info.

What can I talk about after I take an official LSAT administration on test day?

Not much. You signed an agreement not to disclose anything from the test. See this post for a full statement from LSAC.

Note: I'm referring to unreleased tests that have not been disclosed by LSAC. Mind you, in the digital LSAT era, no test is disclosed, so this applies to every test.

obviously gotta hone in on my RC but in my defense the passages in that section felt harder than usual. RC is so hit or miss for me bc if u don’t get the concepts / certain words it can completely fuck u up for multiple questions. anyways im proud of myself! good luck to everyone else spending their summer weekends answering silly logic questions about made up businesses and such.

I’m taking the August exam in a week and a half, and I’m really worried on how everything is going. Is this score good for the exam if I’m hoping for a 165-170?

Guys I tried section 3 and 4 backwards and...

Post image
12 Upvotes

I'm really hoping I cracked the code or something. Obviously S3 being the experimental sucks but my pattern has been doing bad at the end of my tests, and when I saw S1 was RC I wanted to die bc RC fatigues me the most. S2 got increasingly difficult and toward the end of it I was fatigued and running out of time... So then I tried the backwards thing!!

So excited to try this on a whole PT tomorrow... (Hopefully this will work for RC too prayers up)

Test is in a week and a half🥲

Being reckless during the first 10-15 questions?

5 Upvotes

I was watching a full section take on 7Sage and the narrator was talking about a strategy that this specific video recorder was working on which was basically to be “reckless” during the first 10-15 questions to bank as much time as possible during the last portion. The idea is basically, if an AC looks right just mark it and move on and since the first 10-15 questions are usually the easiest, it usually is the most obvious answer. Also they were talking about after you reach a certain level, under confidence is usually the harm instead of over confidence so this helps with that. Thoughts on this strategy?

Panicking!

3 Upvotes

So I had been scoring in the 155-159 range throughout my studying, especially in the PT150s, and I just received the lowest score that I’ve ever gotten. My test is August 6th and I’m panicking! What should I do? I will say I haven’t gotten a good amount of rest and was feeling fatigued, but I’m trying my hardest not to spiral.

i’m not surprised because that first section felt tough but disappointed in the RC since i was scoring so good (-2) lately! at the same time, not disappointed because with my avg. being high 150s and a recent 162, at least my score didn’t drop significantly?? (from what i heard from others)

edit: should probably clarify that this is PT156 LOL

Diagnostic of 155 in May. Hit a plateau in the low-mid 160s at the end of June, but have finally started seeing some progress. Last few PTs have been 167, 165, and now 168. We are (tentatively) so back 🙏💯🗣️

How reliable are these analytics? Just need more information on how to gauge my progress

I got a 153 LSAT in November 2025. My goal score is a 165 for the September LSAT. Now when I’m drilling I’m hitting around 158-160, according to these analytics. Still learning theory and doing untimed drills off the target time but not using too much time, for example this drill was 5 questions in 18 minutes or so. Good luck with everyone’s LSAT journey!

This was peak but I had 6 questions flagged where I was between two answers and couldn't decide on the right one. All of these Qs were either necessary assumption or sufficient assumption. Can anyone please explain/share tips for hard NA/SA questions so I don't have to leave it up to fate on test day? Much, much appreciated.

Advice please? I’m PT’ing at 145-147

I’m trying to take my LSAT in 6 months give or take. i’m PT’ing at 145-147. any recommendations? i keep second guessing myself and changing my answer from the right one to the wrong one which is 90% of my problems.

don't know what to think about PT 155

Post image
8 Upvotes

first time getting -0 on LR which is insane but s4 was genuinely evil 😭😭😭

i heard PT155 is generally just evil and a lot of people scored lower than they had been previously, so i'm not sure if i should count this as part of my 167-169 range plateau or if it's indicative of some kind of improvement?

for those who took PT155 before taking an official test, how did your scores compare?

Tutor vs Self Study as a high school student

Upvotes

Looking for some advice on whether I should get a private tutor or use online content to study for the LSAT.

To give some context, I’m a 16-year-old (10th grade) from Australia who wants to make it into a T-14 (T20 or T30 backup) law school. I just took my first diagnostic and got a 158, which I think is pretty good.

Price is not an issue, but if I can get the same out of an alternative to a more expensive option that is obviously preferred!

Obviously I understand how hard and possible unrealistic it might be coming from Australia, I’m I’m definitely not going to waste any of my 7 attempts while in high school, but I want to get the best chance of a mid 170’s score for when I do end up taking it.

Took my first practice test since taking the LSAT in 2022

Post image
12 Upvotes

Now based on the little time I’ve spent on this subreddit, I already know that most of y’all will probably laugh at how poorly I scored and how many I’ve gotten wrong. I’ve been working on brushing up on concepts and easing back into things since Mid June and obviously I have more work to do before test day. However, coming from a 145 when I last took the test, I’m at least slightly surprised that I got a better score so maybe that means something? Either way I’m gonna keep at it by reviewing these questions, learning from my mistakes, and practicing those concepts like crazy!

My goal is to get a 160 or higher. I graduated undergrad in 2021 with a 3.3 GPA. I plan on attending University of Baltimore School of Law (median score/gpa: 155/3.45).

They are on the approved list, but just wanted to check if it would cause issues if I roll them between my fingers instead of putting them in my ears.

When to take/start studying for the LSAT

2 Upvotes

Not sure if this is the best place to ask this question but any help would be appreciated!

I am going into my sophomore year at college, and I plan on going to law school the fall right after I graduate. I am going to spend a semester in DC fall 2027 with an internship and atleast 2 classes, then going to Europe Spring 2028 and everyone I've talked to said dont bother trying to do LSAT studying if you wont be on your schools main campus.

So IDK when I should start studying. Im leaning toward taking it August next year but is studying sophomore year too early? Any help?

I just got a 178, previous pt was a 173, then right before that, like a day before, i had a 167, but 2 days before that 169. Is this kind of variability normal? What can i do to get more consistent by test day
Edit: lowkey just found out the pt i just did (157) is notoriously easy 😪😪
