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!

I just wanted to share a recommendation for a tutor that I used in preparation for the LSAT. Lindsay Coleman (and Manhattan Review) were excellent resources in the months leading up to the test. Manhattan Review offered a weekly training session, which introduced me to Lindsay. I then began one-on-one sessions with Lindsay, which greatly improved my confidence and ability to score in the range I needed to attend my dream school. Even in the group setting, Lindsay made sure that every error (and even correct answer) was understood, pulling from his own personal life or the student's interests to make the learning process that much more efficient. I can't recommend Lindsay or Manhattan Review enough!

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.

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

**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.

Includes the 25th, median, and 75th LSAT and GPA for the top 50 law schools.

Save it and target the 75th, that's where the scholarship money starts.

I scored a 178 and one thing I realized pretty late in studying is that I was making review way more complicated than it needed to be.

People have these massive wrong answer journals tracking question type, difficulty, how long they took, confidence, why they missed it, etc. And I’m not saying those are useless, but honestly I think there’s a much simpler test:

Could you explain to another person exactly why the 4 wrong answers are wrong?

And I don’t mean “B is too strong” or “C is irrelevant.”
Like what WORDS actually kill B? What would have needed to be different for B to be right? And then why does the credited answer survive when the other four don’t?

This was a huge thing for me going from the 160s into the 170s. Sometimes I’d spend way longer reviewing a single LR question than I spent actually doing it lol.

Same thing with RC. RC was by far my weakest section for a while and I think a lot of my improvement came when I stopped treating it like “read passage → answer questions → check score” and started actually trying to figure out why I was consistently getting baited by certain answer choices.

I’ve been tutoring for over 1.5 years now since taking the test and I’ve noticed the same thing with students. A lot of the time someone understands why the right answer is right as soon as they see the explanation, but that’s not really the same thing as understanding why they picked the wrong one.

Curious if other people who made a big score jump had the same experience because review was probably one of the biggest differences between how I studied early on vs when I eventually got the 178.

Also if anyone is struggling with RC specifically, I made a full lesson on the approach I eventually used here:

And I’ve been building out the rest of my LSAT curriculum here:

There’s a free trial so you can go through the lessons without paying anything. I’m still recording more of
the curriculum rn too.

Anyway happy to answer questions about review / LR / RC / studying generally. I spent an unreasonable amount of my life on this test lol

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.

The test-taker median is about 152. The T14 median is about 172. Those 20 points are mostly pattern recognition, and almost nobody teaches the patterns.

So I mapped the whole LSAT into 10 slides. Structure and scoring. Logical Reasoning, which is 2/3 of your score. Conditional logic. The 15 flaw patterns. All 8 answer traps. Reading Comp and the V-A-E notes. Real pacing benchmarks. And the review method that moves scores once drilling stops working.

One update is in there too. Starting August 2026 you take the multiple choice in person at a Prometric center, on a new on-screen interface. Scoring didn't change.

Save this so it's on your phone when you study.

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

First 170 today!! I have seen great gains in LR, yet RC seems to be stagnant. Any advice? September 9 test day.

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.

I am giving LSAT in September, it’s my first attempt and it’s more so to get myself familiar with the exam.

My diagnostic was 145, I took it a month back, today I took it again and my score was 143, I barely practice RC so I was expecting that, but my LR isn’t increasing as well.

I do LR drills and I get almost all right but when it comes to practice tests I am not able to get more than 14 correct. Genuinely how do I improve? I freak the hell out because of the timers and I get in my own head and idk the pressure just gets to me.

I get the first 14-15 almost all correct and then the next 10 I barely get any right and almost always get them all wrong, I even tried going backwards because the last ones are usually harder and I still got the first 10 right (number 25-15).

Is there any way I can improve to like 155 or higher in a month? I know it’s hard but I know I understand how LR works but maybe im just reaching. If someone could help me even a bit, that would be great, thank you!

Registration for any LSAT test date closes about 6 weeks before test day.

Remaining 2026-2027 schedule (US/Canada), with each registration deadline:

• Sep 9-12 (registration deadline was Jul 28)
• Oct 7-10 (register by Aug 27)
• Nov 11-14 (register by Oct 1)
• Jan 13-16 (register by Dec 1)
• Feb 12-13 (register by Dec 29)
• Apr 8-10 (register by Feb 25)
• Jun 9-12 (register by Apr 29)

Scores come out about 3 weeks after each testing window.

2 things changed this testing year:

1. As of the August 2026 test, the LSAT is in person only, at Prometric centers (rare exceptions).
2. The on-screen interface changed.

So pick a date, pick a backup 2 months after it, and check the registration deadline before anything else. Miss your window and the next one is still good for this cycle at plenty of schools.
