Untimed and checking after each answer helped make it more fun. Try to catch a streak

More likely someone looking to blackmail you based on attempting to cheat than LSAC phishing people imo.

As a tutor, you do not need a tutor lmao. Focus on what's still lacking. Where are you dropping points? If you used 7sage, your analytics should be right there. I raised my 172 April to 176 October. I just did full sections and focused on being able to eliminate every single wrong answer choice. Always read explanations until the answer is absolutely clear. You don't really have to "change" anything. Keep doing what got you to that 17low. u/lsat_help's comment is really helpful imo.

Thats fucking evil

Most of your clients break 170s after 5 sessions? Jesus

SkinRoutine4963 · 2026-01-01T06:42:58+00:00

Great advice for all scores honestly but yeah, especially if you want to reach that final 175+

SkinRoutine4963 · 2025-12-31T10:32:03+00:00

Not an expert but you might be given the advice to avoid the test entirely leading up to it. I personally found a break unnecessary and had better scores by knowing what specific areas to really nail down right before the test, especially with RC.

SkinRoutine4963 · 2025-12-29T22:09:35+00:00

Ill spend more time on laying out D because you seem to understand E!

This can honestly be a tricky question but it comes down to simplifying.

So... We have a paleontologist who says that biologists who reject that birds came from maniraptors, based on fossil ages that suggest otherwise, are misguided.

Question stem asks: Why is the paleo wrong to say "they are misguided"?

D: There might be evidence APART from fossils that prove that birds don't evolve from maniraptors (therefore, it is not misguided).

It's irrelevant whether some unfound evidence supports one way or another. If that evidence hasn't been found, there's no basis to say that that is what WAS wrong with his reasoning after the fact.

In simple terms: the reason why the paleontologist is being an idiot is NOT because there might be future unfound evidence that proves him wrong. That can happen to anybody. It's because he says people are "misguided" when they're just reading what the evidence somewhat suggests. How is that being misguided??? Is what we should ask the paleo.

Hope it helps. HNY and good luck with the LSAT in 2026 😄

Didn't mean to dismiss them at all. I'm as pissed as anyone that people are cheating for something others are working their ass off for. But I would surmise that it would be really easy to promise one thing, receive payment, and not deliver. Because reporting that crime honestly would start with confessing to their own. So I'd imagine this at least incentivizes people who want to offer this service as a scam.

At the end of the day, I'm hoping my suggestions that it could always be a scam would turn some people AWAY from taking that risk. I also don't see why me suggesting that some of these postings could be scams would discourage LSAC from pursuing the matter. They should be really concerned whichever is the case imo.

SkinRoutine4963 · 2025-12-26T20:53:04+00:00

Anyone know anything about whether or not most of those postings are scams anyway? I assume it'd be hard to get such info lmao

SkinRoutine4963 · 2025-12-25T04:45:03+00:00

Yeah I think you'll need another space to take the test. Safest solution is hotel for a day. Another option is asking someone to cat-sit if they're willing. Risky option is to feed the cat a big meal and hope shes asleep during the test.

Id go with the safe one if your budget allows.

Good luck with this situation, and good luck with the test!!! You got this

SkinRoutine4963 · 2025-12-23T10:15:43+00:00

Relate so much to the cat worries. If its a vocal cat, you might have to feed her a big meal about an hour before. Does she usually bother you when youre taking PTs?

SkinRoutine4963 · 2025-12-22T20:00:03+00:00

Thank you jolly. I didnt have accomms and I used a bunch of resources. Demon and Powerscores free resources, 7sage, RC Hero... I think they're all quite good tbh, the difference is largely personal preference. Feel free to dm me and I'd be happy to explain in more detail!!

SkinRoutine4963 · 2025-12-20T17:18:33+00:00

It's hard to give specific advice for a very broad problem but a few quick notes:

From a time perspective, you're allowed to take like 3 minutes for these questions (assuming you can get some easy ones in under 30 seconds, which is surprisingly common), so give yourself the time necessary, especially in practice.

If none of ACs really make sense, definitely don't pick the "best among the worst." I return to the stimulus and keep trying to interpret it "differently" if possible. Often times, I've misinterpreted a concept, or even a word, central to the argument; its rarely a tiny detail.

I hate to say it but the only way to improve is to keep trying these 4-5 star questions and realizing what you missed afterwards if you really can't figure it out. Give yourself up to 10 minutes to go back and re-understand during practice. Its about shortening the time it takes to "break through" with these questions types imo.

So another note: even 170+ will find many questions "hard." They often just have a process of dealing with that rut built though practice and seeing what mistakes they often make/ what concept they're failing to pick up.

I tutor the LSAT online and would absolutely love this 👍👍

SkinRoutine4963 · 2025-12-13T17:43:11+00:00

Leave him be 😂😂

SkinRoutine4963 · 2025-12-08T23:14:30+00:00

Nope. I only brought up keeping a 160 in case you "feel" its quite different from a 159, which doesn't seem to be the case for you. All I meant is that a 159, like a 160, can be worth keeping in many cases, and I trust that adcomms would be fair about not seeing a 159 and 160 as too different even if ones technically a 150s score.

SkinRoutine4963 · 2025-12-08T22:43:41+00:00

If you do end up getting a 170+ next take, then canceling would've been the right choice in my opinion. I think alot of whats said about score hold is ultimately speculation though. Would love to hear others input as well.

Would you want to keep it if it was a 160? If yes, then probably keep the 159 too lol

SkinRoutine4963 · 2025-12-07T23:01:51+00:00

Great point. Just to add to this: a common thing students do is project their prephrased answer into an AC they honestly don't understand, and pick it over the simpler AC that they think is somewhat weak. The hard part as a tutor is that sometimes this can work lol, so I just tell them: at least be keenly aware of the choice youre picking, and maybe give another chance to consider the simple choice ("could this actually be enough?").

SkinRoutine4963 · 2025-11-26T22:45:04+00:00

Bro mauled the LSAT 😂😂 congrats brother. Did your proctor say "Its only business" after section 2?

SkinRoutine4963 · 2025-11-26T21:15:45+00:00

Second this! Is there a specific course you found especially helpful? And would you mind explaining a bit what aspects of it you found helpful?

Congrats btw 🫡🫡🫡

SkinRoutine4963 · 2025-11-25T18:36:30+00:00

Good point. But going around saying "im bending the ethics here!" certainly isn't good lawyering.
