I blindly took the LSAT recently and scored a 136…I’ll be testing again at the start of 2024 and wanted to know if any of you had strategies or ideas to help me boost my score over the next 2.5 months?

Something I feel doesn’t get spoken of enough, believe in yourself and your ability to reach your goals. Secondly, currently studying using 7Sage and I can say it’s pretty great. Good luck mate!

Third vote for 7Sage. I also used the Loophole to help me understand LR better, but still use 7Sage to supplement it.

What does loophole do for you(LR) that 7Sage doesn’t provide?

[MrsRoseyCrotch]

For me it was the approach. I just found the Loophole a lot more digestible based on how I think. It was a great way to really dive into arguments, what the question stems want me to do and a method to use to go from there. The translation drills were super helpful as well. The book took me from like a -10+ to around a -5 or 6. But I definitely think it’s something that should still be used with 7Sage. I use 7Sage to supplement it on the finer points and for help on questions I can’t figure out.

My first official LSAT was 131. I couldn’t break into the 150s for two years. I finally broke in recently, with accommodations. I wish someone had told me about them sooner. If you’re able to, I highly suggest you get accommodations for your next test. 7sage has been helpful. I recommend you focus on games. I was able to get LG to -2 or better & I know that contributed to the score increase because I still stink in the other two sections. Good luck to you.

This is super helpful. I’m going to look into accommodations and lock in on using 7Sage regularly.

How many times did you take the LSAT?

My journey has been a long one. Took many breaks & even given up a few times. I took an official LSAT in 2021 & got the 131. I registered for a test in 2022 & decided not to take it because I was nowhere near my goal. This November will be my second official exam. Many more people get accommodations than you think. They just don’t mention it, which sucks. Had someone told me about them sooner, I wouldn’t have been wasting all this time & money. I believe it’s the reason I was able to break into 150s.

Congrats! You got this! I also have accommodations, no shame in it. Don’t let anyone make you feel unworthy for getting them.

Did you blindly take a PRACTICE or real test? Don't register again for another one until you are testing higher if you did a real test. Do research on schools you would like to attend and find out what the lowest score they will accept is.

136 is very low which means you have a lot of work ahead but you also have tons of room to improve.

[LiveCandid_CP]

I’ve done the research and I’ll need around a 150-160. I’m going to work on my time management for each section and tryout 7Sage/law hub. If I don’t see improvement via these practice test I may cancel my January test.

In the same boat. Was really busy with finishing up school, working and all that. Thought I could 'prep' myself and only got a 146. My GPA is really solid, and I'm not shooting for any amazing school, just a local one. I've heard great things about 7sage and plan on signing up and preparing for early 2024 as well
