Study as much as possible for the LSAT, and in detail. track the answers you are getting wrong and also the ones you are getting right and make sure you understand why they’re correct/incorrect Apply for/email schools for fee waivers!

LSAT 151 GPA 3.53 2024–25 cycle
The LSAT is all about practicing and not studying.
Overall, I was very lucky with how my cycle went. I think I owe this almost entirely to my work experience and LSAT score. **Work experience: **I have worked in public interest law for almost 7 years, so I believe my application/ resume showed clear public interest commitment and an obvious why law, but my essays…
…Who is giving the advice (an admissions officer? a law student? a 0L? an attorney at work who graduated in ‘70?) Generally the most credible sources of information come from the primary sources themselves, the admissions officers! People who had good cycles can also provide good advice, but they too may not always…
…optional essays. Besides that control the stat you can. My LSAT PT average was a 167. I could have tested higher, but my life circumstances couldn’t afford to push this cycle back anymore. Start studying as early as you can. I liked LSAT Demon the most for LR. If you are struggling with RC, I cannot stress RC Hero…
…I wasn’t feeling confident so I signed up for the self study 7sage in 11/2020. I sat for 01/2021 LSAT and landed a 156. I took a month break and then signed up for 8 weeks of tutoring leading up to the April 2021 LSAT. With my 15 sessions with Kerry (LSAT Maven/ElleSAT tutoring) I landed a 169. They also helped me…
LSAT 154 GPA 4.07 2026–27 cycle
…ANSWER JOURNAL as soon as you reach the point in your studies where you can identify exactly where you went wrong with a question; maybe around a week or two into your studying. Drill on 7sage SO much. I drill at least 30 questions per day in sets of 15 and it feels like I scratch barely enough of the learning itch.…
LSAT Demon is the way to go. Began studying in May, took the exam once in August, got my score, was done. Don’t just use the platform, listen to the podcasts & do it their way. I also talked to people from as many law schools as I could. I think this signaled strong interest in schools and helped me tailor my Why X…
…not just the freshman attitude “I dont wanna be a snitch”. LSAT: A huge limiting factor to my application. Study hard with purpose. It teaches you the interworkings of how to think for law school. Don’t see it as a chore, but also do not let it eat you and take away your entire life. Once it starts hurting your core…
Spend more time on the LSAT than on anything else. I rushed the studying and got a average result.
Use LSAT Demon Basic Plan (the one for $95). Studied for 2 months and never needed any of the live classes. Just use the software and you’ll be good. “I am both.” - Artist50, circa late 2022
…degree in 3 years. I am also a first generation college student/law student. I grew up really poor in a single mother in household. I used a combination of the info above to apply to law school, and I’ll see how well that helps. I took the LSAT once. I couldn’t find time to study, and I didn’t want to take it a…
LSAT: 164 (Sept. 2019) –> 169 (July 2020 Flex). Studied using 7Sage for over a year, with a few-month break in the middle for basketball season. 159 diagnostic. Attended a small liberal arts school, not prestigious. Softs: NCAA athlete but otherwise pretty common softs: Internships, PT jobs, etc. UVA’s been my dream…
…was a pain in the fucking ass. Being smart enough to study a few months and get a 165 LSAT (88-90 percentile score) SHOULD mean easy admission to many T50 schools, but it’s not good enough anymore. Ban using CumGPA in law school admissions.
…representation of what schools saw in me. As far as my lsat, it was achieved with a relatively little studying due to life events. What I wish I knew in the application process, I didn’t expect to waiver and strain so much of my personal relationships. I ended an engagement, moved a state and a half a way, and lost…
Be kind to yourself. Don’t check application statuses daily or you’ll drive yourself crazy. If you score low on your LSAT, and you can take it again, do it. But if it’s messing with your mental health, it is OKAY to take a break! Don’t drive yourself into the ground over law school admissions. Also, remember to be…
Use a study method that works for you. I Started with 7sage but felt that it was lacking. I switched to LSAT Demon and everything clicked.Listen to what your study program teaches but don’t be afraid to adjust It took a couple of adjustments before I felt that the test made sense. LSAT Demon (and many others) preach…
LSAT Diagnostic: 150 (+19 increase in 4 months of studying) I worked full-time, so I used 7sage, studied for about 1-2 hours a day 5 days a week. Took PTs once a week, then twice a week as test date got closer I recommend stopping drilling and only taking tests at some point, I find over drilling can make you begin…
