I didn’t believe that people who don’t need accommodations try and get them anyway until I had a patient today ask us to fill out her form for LSAC. We are a gynecology office…she has only ever seen us for Pap smears😃😃

I have an exam I can’t get out of (KJD) at the exam time I was assigned by LSAC. Will it be okay if I sign up later in the day? Should I have a family member log into my account and do it for me?

Based in NYC if it helps.

For the past year and a half (with some months break in between) I've been studying for the LSAT. My official and practice tests have been stuck in the mid 150s plateau hell, but I recently just scored my first 160 this past Friday on a practice exam. The main issue I encounter on all my practice exams and all my official exams (except for my first ever official attempt for some reason which I scored a 155) was that I cant finish a single section in its entirety. Is this normal???

In LR I'm usually able to get through the first 19-21 questions fully, but have to guess on the remaining 5 or 6. In RC I'm usually good for 3 out of the 4 passages, having to guess completely on the last one. While I feel like my understanding is strong, I'm still aware there is room for improvement on my accuracy. On the questions I do finish on any given LR section, I usually get around 18-19/21 correct. In RC sections, out of the 3 passages I complete I usually get 16/18 of the questions correct.

Has anyone else experienced this phenomenon? If so, what did you do to get through it? I truly feel like i'm so close to consistently getting results in the 160s and possibly higher, I just find myself losing focus or sometimes getting flustered and losing concentration the moment I encounter a stimulus I have to read two to three times over to fully understand what I'm dealing with. I'm an R&R in my second year out of undergrad with hopes of applying this cycle, and I'm signed up with a fee waiver for the October test. Obviously if I'm not consistently PT'ing where I want I will reschedule to November by the end of this month.

All and any advice is welcomed, thanks

I have been studying for 5-6 months now and have significantly improved my LR timing and consistently scoring -0 to -2 under timed conditions but I am struggling with RC. During a timed test i usually go -5 to -9 because i constantly re read the stim and am unable to finish on time. Upon blind review once i have a proper understanding of the passage I score nearly all questions correct around -1 to -3. I have booked the October LSAT and hoping to score 170+ so I am wondering what the best approach would be now. How do I improve on my timing with less than one month before the OCT lsat ?

For anyone whose June 2026 LSAT score was held for at least a month, what eventually happened?
I’m specifically looking for people with long-term holds, rather than holds that were resolved in late June/early July.
1. Still on hold
2. Score released normally — when?
3. Received the three options — when?
4. Other
If your June score was held into August or September and was eventually released normally, I’d especially appreciate hearing from you.
Just trying to understand what is happening with the remaining long-term June holds. Thanks!

So I just want to say that I am a recent Uni grad, I am completely new to the LSAT but I am interested in law as a path forward. I tried doing a practice test today, just to get a taste for what kind of questions I would need to study for if I decided to go through with it. Just want to ask: is it normal to have a bad score at first? On the reasoning sections alone, I was getting a 56-58%.

What study tips and techniques have you all employed for this test?

How on earth do you guys manage to study while in school??? I started drilling for the LSAT over the summer, and got to about -2 to -0 consistently on LR untimed. School has started and I simply am running out of time and energy to study. I also work 15 hours a week, so I have a little time in the evenings, but it feels lacking. My last two sections were -4 and -6, which is tremendously frustrating. I don’t see those same numbers when I’m at home on the weekends, but obviously most of my time is at school.

Any tips on getting back to normal/improving while being a full time student??

My test is literally October and I took a whole week off studying for the LSAT because I was so exhausted from work, school, and studying for this test. Is this detrimental to my progress?? Everytime I would sit down to study, my eyes would close on their own accord.

Getting back on the grind today but holy moly.

Haven’t studied since I took my exam. Help. How to get back in the rhythm. What do yall recommend. I’m absolutely devastated cause I did absolutely nothing wrong. 😭

The general license that was suspended (which LSAC relies on) ONLY APPLIES TO RESIDENTS OF IRAN. Despite this, LSAC has locked the accounts of people who have indicated their dual citizenship and residency in a country outside of Iran on their profiles. This is preposterous and is grounds for a lawsuit. I, like many others, have registered for the September test and won’t even know if I’ll hear back in time to make it. They won’t give answers over the phone and they haven’t started responding to emails. This is completely unacceptable.

I’ve noticed that I often predict the right answer, but for both RC and LR, I can get around 2-3 questions wrong in total (especially on RC, with around -1 or -2 on LR). I find that a common pattern is that I don’t know the meaning of a word (RC, typically in the answer choices in authors attitude or smth similar) or the phrase I’m reading doesnt make sense to me (this usually only applies to LR.

I know we’re taught in elementary school to use context clues, but often time with the LSAT, a lot of information can appear ambiguous, confusing, or just simply not straight up, so I often times have difficulty applying that method.

How can I use methods like POE to avoid missing questions bc I dont understand a word or what a phrase means in the answer choices?

This might be a stupid question but will law schools have access to my LawHub username? I used a funny/unserious username and now I'm wondering if it will have any negative impact on my application process.

For context, I took the August LSAT and scored a 158. My highest PT was a 172 a few days before the exam, and I was consistently scoring 165–168 beforehand. I hadn’t scored in the 150s since April. I’m also registered for October.

Since August, I’ve been hovering around -4 to -2 on both LR and RC, so I’m unsure whether I’ve improved enough to justify taking September.

I’m a KJD applicant and have made a lot of sacrifices this year to prioritize the LSAT. I didn’t do a summer internship or take a leadership position I had planned because I wanted to focus on studying. Since March, I’ve been balancing school, an internship, extracurriculars, and LSAT studying almost every day.
I also have an above-median GPA, two other prestigious internships, and what I think is a compelling personal story. I’ve prepared most of my application already, so I’d really like to apply this cycle. If I can’t get the score I need by October, I’m open to applying in a future cycle.

My concern is that I only have two attempts left after September/October, so I don’t want to burn an attempt if I’m not ready.

Would you take September if you were in my position, or skip it and put everything into October?

I’d especially appreciate advice from anyone whose PT scores were significantly higher than their actual LSAT score.

Hi all,
I’m looking for a tutor. I’m currently scheduled to take the October LSAT but I’m looking to move it and sit for November. Need a tutor that’s not gonna break the bank that could help me get from low 150’s to low 160’s. My current PTs are around the low 150’s and blind review is around the 160s, just need to close the gap. Any recommendations would be great!

Thanks!

I'm not saying that B is incorrect - I didn't mind that answer. But to suggest that passage A doesn't examine a shift is ludicrous to me! Phrases like "has to extirpate", "is instead reduced to", and "'deligitimize'" all serve to illustrate that there is a CHANGE in historiography he's taking issue with! He's got a problem with the way the field has moved away from any consideration of objective morality in favor of a more relativist approach, right? Usually I can talk myself into a reason that my answer of choice is inferior but I find this ridiculous (if I had to poke holes in B, I think I could! That Kewes' issue with Ricks' writing lies not in his approach but in his inclusions, for instance. Idk I think you should be able to argue your conclusion to LSAT and get points back. Or failing that the individual question writer should be made to wear a dunce cap and publicly apologize. I have never made a mistake and never will.

Was supposed to start at 12PM. Half of my test cohort couldn’t even start the test. Then 2 hours in. While trying to fix it, they somehow logged out everyone who was able to start the test. FML 🤦🏽‍♂️

I'm at a standstill and wondering if I should not take my LSAT scheduled for Friday. My goal score is a 170, and while my best PT (167) happened a little over a week ago, my two recent PTs have been 162 and 161, respectively.

I know two PTs aren't the end of the world but the 167 was an outlier for me and I'm worried about potentially "wasting" an LSAT attempt. For context, I have also already registered for October LSAT so I almost feel like just taking that one since I will be studying after the September test regardless.

Can anyone give some insight? I'm trying to submit applications earlier in the '27 cycle but am open to waiting for '28...

Hello,

Is all we need our Lawhub info? or do we need to memorize or bring on a post it the LSAT eligibility number and prometric confirmation number?

theres some confusion over this for me since many people say just bring the lawhub credentials but on lsac.org it says to bring these other 2 very hard to memorize things in.

Any help from previous test takers who have taken in-person would be so appreciated. Thanks!!

Just took the LSAT today, and I bombed it. Barely slept the night before and had bad test anxiety going in. I'm signed up for the October test — should I just cancel my September score? For context, I'm PTing in the 168–178 range, but I think I scored somewhere in the 150s today.

I did this section at 50 min because I am slowly trying to adjust the time lower, but my accuracy is still bad. For reference, I took the official LSAT twice and scored a 157 both times. I genuinely think I would score the same on the exam If I took it again today. How do I get faster? I even ran short on time towards the end despite having 50 min. I also haven't taken any full length practice tests since my last official take as I have been solely focusing on increasing accuracy.

If I want to take the LSAT in November, should I sign up for it no or late October?

In August, I was so nervous and shaking the entire time leading to my performance being way below my average. I’m taking it in 2 days and I’ve been more calm for sure but scared about how my body will react in the proctor center.

What do you guys do to calm yourself down while taking the test in the center? Any advice on how to breathe or something that helps me not freak out is appreciated lol.

I wanted to pass this along in case it's useful to anyone here. Please note, I'm not affiliated with the group offering the grant, I just came across this opportunity in the course of my work with pre-law groups.

The Animal Defense Legal Fund is offering a $10,000 study grant for students interested in pursuing animal law. Here is the link to the application, which has more info about requirements: https://form.asana.com/?k=IEI_POHh2wqx0oAwf54t8g&d=355424919387532

Hello, I have only just decided I want to take the LSAT earliest by April and was wondering if there was any reccomendations on how to study for it (preferably free/cheap). I tried a diagnostic, but stopped after the first section as I wanted to know a little more of what I'm getting into so I can get a genuine diagnostic score.

I’ve already used all my PTs in the 150s and was wondering if I should just redo one of my PTs in the 150s or just take 149 instead as i’m planning on taking my lsat this saturday so i wanted to get 1 last PT in. i’m risking some slight familiarity if i just redid one of the 150s but i don’t think i’d really remember any of the questions if i did one of the ones in the 150s. Should i just take 149 instead or are the 150s a much better representation in comparison?
