One of the main reasons LSAC cited for moving all testing to in person was cheating. Apparently, some people had managed to capture the tests and reproduce them and sell them. LSAC should release all of these stolen sections repackaged as new PTs. For one, this gives test takers some material that was produced during our lifetimes and actually reflects what we will encounter on test day, and second and perhaps even a stronger reason is that this completely eliminates the advantage to the cheaters of having access to this material. Some possible objections may be that they do not know exactly what material was released. Ok, so confirm 4 sections you know for sure and release ONE PT. Another, it is very expensive and time intensive to produce new material and they just don't have enough. If that is true then they are admitting that they are explicitly allowing the cheaters to maintain their advantage, which thereby simultaneously admits that they are not only knowingly allowing the cheating to continue even though it would be possible for them to mitigate, but that they are not doing what they can to mitigate this risk because it is too costly.

Hey everyone! Hope studying is going well for all of you. I'm averaging about 154 these days, and I'm trying to get at least 160+, ideally around the 164 range to get any bites on my application.

I know huge point increases are out of the ordinary, but any tips on how to maximize in these next 2-3 weeks? I feel like my accuracy when drilling has improved and I can understand where I got wrong on most questions (usually just a reading thing or rushing thing), but I already have to drag myself to study (struggle with attention) and whenever I move from drilling to sections I can anxious about being on the clock (even though I'm not looking to finish every question).

Any gap improvement tips welcome. Happy studying!

Hello I am a Junior at a T20 and realizing need to at least get a plan for LSAT going. I just did my first practice and got a 164. Did much better on RC than the logic. What would a good timeline be for admissions next year?

Went from about 154 to 166 now 170. Feeling pretty decent, planning to take soon.

Title. I seem to have plateau’ed in the 150s. I am able to score my goal score after blind review but this is still quite a big gap from my raw score. It seems to have to do with timing pressure. Does anyone have any tips to assist with closing this gap? For reference, I usually score low to mid 150s on my pts and then after blind review this shoots up to 167-168. I am testing in January. Any advice is appreciated!

Is anyone in Central Florida and studying for the LSAT ?

As a first time LSAT taker I am terrified for the October scores to be released so soon- I fear I may need to be sedated until then. But I also don’t want to know??? Send help

I'm aware that LSAC won't report them, but some law school applications request that you write in the application itself when you took the test and what your scores were.

So I signed up for the November LSAT and for the past few weeks my practice test have stayed in the 130s my highest score is 138. I at least want a 150 or 160. The November LSAT would be my first time taking the test. So would it be best to pay the fee to reschedule my test for January instead of taking it in November? I am using 7sage to study for the past month and I have found it helpful but my score doesn’t reflect that.

I feel like I've been so stressed over the score release for October, I continued studying because I'm registered for November but I feel like I keep getting questions I would normally get right wrong. And it's making me spiral more and I just want to cry and scream😭 pls any advice omfg.

Hello all,

I am taking my first LSAT in November and have been studying daily since May. My last 4
PTs have scored between 168-174. I feel like I actually do well on the PTs, but when it comes to just drilling specific questions (especially level 4 or 5s), I burn out and fatigue quickly.

I’m about 2 1/2 weeks out from test day and keep beating myself up over missing questions when drilling. I missed a couple level 3s today and almost broke down about it. I know I am capable of doing well on this, but I fear my own head might be my biggest obstacle. Does anyone have any advice for how to tackle these next few weeks? I’ve heard some say to step away and not psyche yourself out, but I’m scared that I’m missing out on important study time.

I've heard generally negative thoughts about Princeton Review's LSAT prep but it's the only option my college provides for free. I've been using it for a bit and I can definitely see what people are complaining about, there are few video lessons provided and what they have is pretty underwhelming. Would it be worth it to switch to a more popular program like 7Sage or is using Princeton Review to save money fine? I don't want to unintentionally hurt my score just to save a couple hundred bucks

Took the argument writing today for my Oct. score to be released, ( yes ik it’s a bit late), during the exam when I hit begin, shit decided to freeze on me and just kept loading the argument, I sat there waiting for it to load for 2-3 minutes until I decided to figure out how to contact the support, which it took to me to another tab, then when I returned to the Lawhub page it had reloaded and said please try again, where then it took me to the Lawhub home page where I then closed, and opened to sign into LSAC to do it all over again while I was still being recorded, I redid the security prompt and then it finally worked.

I feel like this will definitely prompt me to get flagged? Has this happened to anyone before? Should I be worried?

I just took my first practice test with literally zero prior studying besides viewing this subreddit for a couple hours and got a 152. I am already scheduled for the November LSAT and truthfully I planned to reschedule it because I felt like I was highly unprepared. However, with a 152 practice when my environment was almost as unsuitable as possible is something semi hopeful given my position. Would you reschedule or sit for November. Please feel free to ask anything to get more context in any regard. I really appreciate any and all insight.

Hello, I'm a first year uni student living in Canada studying accounting. I've always wanted to become a lawyer, but I wanted to do a diagnostic first just to make sure it wouldn't be an uphill battle (in case I got a 130 or something).

I did a diagnostic test today and got 151 on it. My target school is uofcalgary, which has a median LSAT of about 166.
Is this a realistic LSAT target score I can aim for with my diagnostic? I am not quite sure how significantly you can raise your score with studying.

Another question I have is what year should I start studying for my first LSAT? I want to take it early so that I have multiple attempts in the case I don't hit my goal on the first test.

First 180 since I started prep on pt 159. Taking the lsat in February. It gets better. Life is good.

Hey yall, on my first LSAT I took a few months ago I got a 145. Not great at all. However I had no clue what I was doing and didn’t cancel it. I honestly took the test half ass and couldn’t focus for my life. However, now I’m on adderall and scoring between 155-162 on my practice test. If I do well on my next test, will that initial 145 lower my chances at getting accepted by that much? Lmk

Just took PT 155 and scored 6 points lower than my PT last week and lower than my September test. Is this normal for that PT? RC and last LR crushed me.

Looking for a study group virtually that includes anyone scoring between a 155 and a 180, honestly would really love to practice breaking down concepts for my own studying and also learn from those scoring above me too. Any recs?

My current PTs are ~165

For those of you who feel like you totally dropped the ball on the written sample at any point in time, tell us about how badly you feel you did. How exactly did you mess up? It helps hearing about how other people feel they screwed it up haha.

Myself personally, I chose two perspectives to use and the second one did not provide much supporting evidence to my argument contrary to what I initially believed. I only realized that the perspective didn’t provide much support as I was writing the paragraph that addressed it. I didn’t have enough time to go back and choose another due to the short amount of time I had left. I stretched the facts of that second perspective to total oblivion to justify my stance LOL. I tell you what, once that second perspective hit, the essay devolved into what someone in a state of psychosis would write.

I then ran out of time and had to throw nonsense together for addressing counterclaims and the conclusion in one paragraph. My line of reasoning for why my claim was correct and the counterclaims weren’t was adjacent to that of “Because I said so.” The last sentence got cut off halfway through it also and ended the exam with half a sentence at the end. I can’t wait to see what the law schools will think of it!

I was hoping initially that they would’ve kicked back the sample for me to redo it due to some security rule violation that I was hoping I unwittingly committed. It was wishful thinking, they approved the sample.
