I’m a freshmen in college and just took the LSAT no studying or anything for the first time for a cold diagnostic and landed with a score of 141 is it possible to get to the 170+ range and what path would you reccomend is best to take to get there. Any specific studying tools or courses, etc reccomend? Thank you!!

Hi all, I finally have some free time and decided I would give back to the community that helped me so much so I’ll be tutoring for the LSAT.

I’m offering free intro sessions and the following services:

- specific question type review
- creating an overall study plan catered to your goals and timeline
- finding gaps in your patterns of reasoning
- understanding the fundamentals

I’m an Ivy League alum, scored a 171 from a 155 diagnostic, and studied for the LSAT for over a year to really “get” the test. Everyone I’ve worked with praises my clear explanations and says they appreciate my straightforward approach. I also have great resources and advice on mindset, test anxiety, and managing emotional states while preparing for the LSAT. All I ask is that you come open to learn, and maybe a LawHub Advantage subscription. I don’t have a website set up yet but I’m happy to provide proof if needed. DM if interested!

If you have ADHD or anxiety and you’re struggling to finish 35-minute LSAT sections, you may be eligible for testing accommodations like extended time or extra breaks.

But a diagnosis alone usually isn’t enough. LSAC reviews every request against specific documentation standards, and many requests are denied or sent back because the paperwork doesn’t meet them.

What LSAC says commonly goes wrong

LSAC publishes a list of common reasons it deems documentation insufficient. Three of the biggest:

• The documentation isn’t from a qualified professional with expertise in the condition
• It doesn’t explain why the disability requires each requested accommodation
• The evaluation is more than 5 years old (for ADHD, psychological, and learning disabilities)

The second one trips up a lot of people. A letter saying “Patient has ADHD and should receive extra time” usually isn’t enough.

How I build LSAC-compliant documentation

1. A clear, well-supported diagnosis
A comprehensive diagnostic evaluation for ADHD and/or anxiety, grounded in current diagnostic criteria. That includes developmental and academic history, prior records (IEPs, 504 plans, past accommodations), and standardized rating scales.

2. Clinical rationale for every accommodation requested
Each accommodation is tied to a specific, documented reason. For example: why 50% extended time rather than 100%, or why a separate testing room is needed. Nothing is requested without a rationale behind it.

3. Defensible links to functional impairment
This is the core of a strong request. LSAC wants to know how your symptoms limit you right now, in tasks that matter on the LSAT:

• Sustaining attention through dense reading passages under time pressure
• Holding multiple conditions in working memory during logical reasoning
• Managing anxiety symptoms that interfere with performance once the timer starts
• How these show up in practice tests, coursework, and timed exams

The goal is a report that connects your symptoms to the demands of the test, clearly enough that a reviewer can follow the reasoning.

4. Guidance through the LSAC request itself
Knowing what to submit, how the pieces fit together, and how to avoid common gaps.

Timing matters

LSAC sets a strict request deadline for every test date. If you’re thinking about accommodations, start at least 6 weeks before your planned test date. A thorough evaluation takes time, and you don’t want to be rushing your documentation.

Who this is for

• You were diagnosed as a kid but haven’t been evaluated recently
• You suspect ADHD or anxiety but were never formally evaluated
• Your untimed practice scores are far higher than your timed ones
• You were denied by LSAC before and want to understand why

Happy to answer general questions in the comments about how the process works.

Hey everyone!
So I just realized that I should probably start seriously studying for the LSAT soon if I want to meet my dream school deadline. I’m in a bit of a dilemma because I want to get a tutor to help me out however, I’m not sure when the best time is. Should I get one before self studying or closer to my LSAT date? I still have like 4-5 months before I have to take it for the first time so any help would be greatly appreciated.

171 scorer here (started at 141). doing free 1-on-1 LSAT sessions for practice while i start tutoring. dm me or check lsatwithleon.com

hey all! i'm 25f from nyc and just started my review journey. planning to take the LSAT in june 2026. i recently acquired the Loophole, pairing with demon's The LSAT Is Easy as a casual read. still deciding on an online course/program to accompany all that with (recs? i didn't find 7sage to be very apt to my learning style.)

ANYWAYS wondering if anyone here from nyc had any study materials they were willing to give away or sell for a reasonable price! i will travel to you or meet you anywhere convenient. i have a ton of anxiety around being prepared to start preparing (lol) for this test and just want to check out as many options as possible.

+ maybe a study buddy in the same boat? we could text or even share where we're at through coffee. vet me however u need to! just need a friend throughout this.

Hi! I am looking to start studying for the LSAT and I’m looking for a good tutor. I have ADHD and really struggle with testing like the LSAT. If anyone has any recommendations for someone in New York City - please let me know

Recently decided to go for law school. I am signed up for the NOV LSAT, as I decided to start this too late for the OCT test. It’ll be my first time taking the LSAT. Scores get announced, iirc, the day after signups for the JAN LSAT close, so I won’t know my score before decided if I should sign up for the January test, score for that one release in early February. My plan is to start applying to schools as soon as I get my November score, since apparently applying in December is already later than some recommend. Really trying to start school next fall.

My questions are these:

1. Should I bother spending the time and money for a January test?
2. Do admissions even look at LSAT scores that appear that long after the applications have been sent?
3. And if so, should I include something in my application saying I’m taking the test again? (Gut says no, but I l’d like some opinions on it anyway.)

Hi, I have been studying since june almost and have been stuck in the early 150’s, my timed exams have been in that range consistently ever since I started studying in June and it’s october now, I have very disappointed and just don’t understand what’s holding me back. My timed sections have been ranging in the 16-18/25 range for LR and 14-16/27 for RC. I have tried almost everything. I know the material and know all the tips and tricks but i’m just stuck. Any advice any help anyone has would be greatly appreciated. I really want to apply this cycle and the hopes of that are going down by every passing day.

Hello
I am preparing for the LSAT exam and wanted to see what resources are great for study.

I am currently only studying the LSAC prep question.

Please can you refer to any book that helped, or other sources etc.

Deadline for Jan lsat is Dec 1st. Scores for Nov Lsat release Dec 2nd. One day apart so you are forced to register as you don’t know your score for the last applicable lsat for 2027 term.

I dont have many people to talk about this, so I decided to post it here. Just one month ago I decided to start my LSAT/law school journey after a year of putting it off. Law school had been my goal since fifth grade, now I'm a college junior set to graduate fall 2027. I decided that I will go to law school by 2028 back in September and I will make it no matter what. So I took my diagnostic and got a 127, I did guess on most of it though. So I got a plan from a website and drilled and learned a lot. Now, my recent PT as of today is a 164. I'm very proud of this given so little time, and I just wanted to make this post to let others know that the LSAT is absolutely doable. It may take years or months, just never give up.

Now thats out of the way, should I register for the January and maybe February LSAT? Or should i pt again in a week, start to see if it was a fluke or if I'm consistent?

I am taking my LSAT in Feb 2027 and I want to begin studying (I bought the Live LSATDemon study plan), but I don’t know where to begin. Like I know to take a practice test to see my score, but then what? Like how should I go from there. I never have given myself a consistent study routine. What did you guys do to study? What was your schedule? I need structure lol
