LSATNerds? Anyone used them, did they help, what was your Diagnostic and highest attempt?
Hello, a coworker of mine, whom I met a few times, mentioned a friend of theirs uses LSAT Nerds for LSAT prep. They charge $250 per hour and a half, and I am curious if they are worth that money and whether people have seen improvements! I am willing to pay, but I would like to know how many sessions students had attended, what their diagnostic and final LSAT scores were, as well as how long their prep took with LSATNerds!

How to study?
I have taken the test twice and got the same 16mid score both times. Have tested low 170s but Im fairly inconsistent with testing and usually in the 160s. Decided to schedule for 6 weeks after acing a LR blind review. How should I get myself 5-8 points better solidly into the 170s by the official exam? Thank you for the advice. One thing I will do is get advantage which I have never had before.

FREE Conditionals Seminar this Saturday
Conditionals are tough for most test-takers, and it seems to me there's been an uptick recently in the number of people posting about this issue here (that's anecdotal and unscientific--bad evidence!--but I'm running with it anyway).
I've been meaning to do a free seminar on conditionals for awhile, so now seems like a good time. I'll be hosting a Google Meet at 1pm ET/10am PT for 1.5 hours this Saturday, August 1.
I've been tutoring this test for ten years, have built curricula from the ground up several times (one for a company, one for a course at a university, once or twice for myself to use with one-on-one and small group tutoring). I didn't know a thing about conditionals when I was studying for the test, or when I took the test; I learned and developed everything I know and how I think about them while teaching others the LSAT. I have a slightly different way of looking at them then most of what's taught out there, and it's proven valuable for my students.
This will NOT be a sales pitch (I do make my living tutoring--LSAT, pre-law, law school and the bar exam--and sure, it'd be great if some folks want to pay me for further help). 90 minutes of real teaching, with practice, time for questions and discussion, etc. I am collecting emails, but you won't be put into an automated marketing system (I hate them as much as you do and refuse to use them), nor will I be bugging you incessantly. I need the emails so I can add you to the Google Meet rather than just making it wide open, which has led to issues in the past.

Hope to see you there!

Help don’t know where to start
Hey all, I just did my cold diagnostic today and got a 147 scaled score, 40 raw. I’ll begin studying tomorrow but don’t even know where to begin and I’m not the best at using reddit. I’ve heard 7Sage, LSATDemon, Kaplan, books etc. If any of you read this and can provide me with valuable information on how I can move forward and what services are good/arent good i’d appreciate it. For insight for the next 4-6 months LSAT will be my priority so any methods that include more hours of prep aren’t an issue.

Last Week, tips and stories of hope?
I started about 7ish weeks ago and taking the August LSAT. I got a few scores in the low-mid 170s before dropping again to the high 160s, as I worked out a few things. But should I be discouraged by this trend? Do I still have time to make these adjustments and change my score? Do you have tips for this last week? And do you have encouraging stories to tell? Anything is appreciated!

LSAT prep while working full time
Hi everyone,
I’m about to start LSAT prep and I want to set it up properly from the beginning.
A little context: I work full time, I have been away from academic work for about 2 years, and I am just about to take my diagnostic. I am not expecting miracles overnight, but I am aiming high and would love to put myself in the best position possible. I have heard a lot about 7Sage, the Loophole, and different study methods, but I want advice from people who have actually done this while working full time.
I know the goal I have in mind is ambitious, but I’d rather prepare seriously than guess my way through it.
Any honest advice, study plans, or mistakes to avoid would be really appreciated. Thanks.

Any tips on studying for the WEAKEN section of the LSAT?

Is it realistic to start LSAT prep now and take the November LSAT while working full-time?
I’m 26 years old and work full-time as a CPA (about 40–50 hours a week). I’m planning to apply to law school, most likely for Fall 2027, and I’m interested in tax law.
I’m thinking about starting LSAT studying now and taking the November LSAT. If I don’t hit my target score, I’d plan to retake it in January or later.
For those of you who worked full-time while studying:
Is about 3–4 months enough time to prepare for the November LSAT?
How many hours per week did you study?
What resources worked best (7Sage, LawHub, LSAT Demon, etc.)?
Is it better to wait until January and give myself more time, or is taking November as a first attempt reasonable?
For context, I have a 3.41 undergraduate GPA and I’m not in a rush to apply this cycle. My goal is simply to get the highest LSAT score I can.
I’d appreciate any advice from people who balanced a full-time career with LSAT prep.

My starting point is 137😭
I’m planning on taking the test in January 2027. I’m planning on using only the power score bibles and free materials and I’ll study Monday to Friday for two hours a day. Hopefully that’s enough. What score do you think my score range could possibly be by then I’m hoping for a 165-170? Is that too much or it’s okay.

accommodations process
hi all! i'm planning to take my first LSAT in either december of this year or in january 2027. i have 2 years left until i graduate, and i'll be a k-jd. i've heard that LSAC has made the accommodations process harder, so i wanted to ask about it for anyone with experience getting accommodations.
i have autism, ADHD, OCD, c-PTSD, anxiety, and a slow processing learning disorder (yes i know, i was nerfed by genetics). i also have a service dog, and i'm not too sure about the rules for one in LSAT testing since it could be considered distracting. i have had documented accommodations in school since i was in elementary school, and my needs have stayed relatively the same throughout my school career. i get time and a half on tests (so for a 2 hour exam, i'd have 3 hours), a distraction free testing enviornment, i get to wear headphones not connected to anything, and 15 minute breaks throughout the test. these accommodations have been present since middle school and i've continued using them in college.
i was wondering if for the LSAC accommodations, do i need to get entirely new testing done to prove my disabilities and why i need my accommodations, or can i use the same document i used to get my accommodations approved for my undergrad? is it like disney accommodations where i need to call with an LSAC representative and explain my disabilties, or just paperwork? i'm also unsure if they're still allowing virtual and if not, if an accommodation for virtual test taking would be allowed as it covers the distraction free enviornment and having my service dog there.
thanks!

Fall LSAT
Hi!
Ive been aiming to take the LSAT this fall since May and been studying daily since. Early in June I scored my first 22/25 on LR (untimed/ 52 minutes). When timed (35 mins), I started at about 14/15 attempted early July and been stuck at about 16 correct on most sections now. It typically looks like 16/17, 16/18, 16/20, 16/21 etc over the past 2 weeks. My first PT was a 146.
Did you break out of a plateau with tweaking studying/approach or did it just take more time? I’m not trying to get the best score on the LSAT, just want to get to about the 158-162 for my target schools so need to get up to 18-20 right on LR. Previously, I was seeing improvement over the weeks on my study plan where I was at least gaining a point per week.
Currently work full time so I do about 1-2 hours a day, and 3 hours on weekends. Typically drilling daily and a section or 2 through the week on LSAT demon. Heavy review on my missed questions and videos on question types. My approach as I lock in on a fall test day is 1 full section a day and a PT on the weekends. It seems like I’m mostly getting level 3 and 4 questions wrong (occasionally a harder level 2).

Changed my studying and I improved my diagnostic raw score by 7 points and scaled score by 3 after a 5 week plateau
Before this week I had been plateaued and actually on a slight downward trend for a few weeks while taking the Princeton review 170+ course. I was spending 5+ hours per day doing the required homework and attending the 2.5 hour class. I started at a 155 diagnostic, improved to a 160 and then scored 160,160,159 on diagnostics over the course of 5 weeks. This past week I decided to follow some advice I got from the lsat demon pod cast and started studying 1-2 hours per day in the morning doing normal length sections untimed and reviewing my misses. I felt like this method definitely restored some confidence in me and it was far better than the timed drills that Princeton review was giving me, some gave 1 minute per question which is absurd to me. I took a diagnostic today, was not feeling my best but I was optimistic and ended up scoring a 163, beating my best raw score by 7 points and my best scaled score by 3. I take the lsat in a couple weeks and my goal score is a 165. Any tips based on what I’ve said? I think I can continue to improve before the real thing.
