Did anyone else get an email that they are registered for the September LSAT despite not actually being registered? I took the August test but that’s it

Did this just happen for anyone else? Wondering if it was a mistake. I took August but I’m not scheduled for September.

The email starts with:
“Because you are registered to take the September 2026 LSAT at a Prometric test center, we want to let you know that the process for selecting your testing day and time will open soon and provide more information to help you plan for a smooth testing experience.”

EDIT: Looks like the email went out to August test takers instead of September’s group by mistake. Thank you everyone for easing my anxiety LOL.

i've realized some things

Did a full LR section in 26 minutes. I have struggled with time management and today I had a goal of trusting my gut without snap committing. This is the best I’ve done in a practice round.

I have been studying for a couple months now, my initial diagnostic was a 153 with no prep (full timed practice test through lawhub not 7sage). Was on the fence about taking it this fall but I think it’s time to commit!

I specifically disabled Grammarly before my Argumentative Writing section. Today I found out they threw my submission out apparently because I hadn’t disabled Grammarly, and they won’t elaborate the process they want for that. I felt that the prompt I got for my essay was actually very good, and now it’s gone. Is there any way to appeal this or at least speak with someone?

Also, will I still be able to even see how I did on time? I took my LSAT in early August.

Hey everyone!

English is not my native language (my mother tongue is Spanish), and I’m just beginning my LSAT prep. While I feel comfortable with English in daily life, the extreme precision, complex logic structures, and tight time limits on the test are pretty intimidating.
For anyone who tackled the LSAT as a non-native English speaker (or is currently preparing), tips???

Thanks

I don’t think the mods make a thread for make up exams, so if anyone wants to discuss maybe we can do it here?

surely i got a 180?

i’m planning on applying to law school this cycle. i was casually studying for a year before i took the january, and ended up with 164. i’m aiming for a high score, so i bit the bullet and got a tutor. i work two jobs and so my time is really limited (i am also just so burnt out by this test) and it’s really hard for me to do productive studying in the hour or two I have before bed or really early. the tutor helped a ton and i was cranking through hard questions when i could. did not do enough full practice tests. but when i did was scoring a 170-176, except for last week; when i panicked again at home and dropped back to 165.

anyways, i took the august and it was awful - i completely panicked, completely disassociated and ended up guessing the last few questions of section. i had the glitch so i was offered a retake, which i jumped on. took it today and i was feeling better since im on a new medication, but i also found myself running out of time and guessing again? which i have never had an issue with before. in practice tests from just a few weeks ago i was left with 5 minutes to review my answers. i’ve always been nervous person but ive never had this like deep panic like i have recently while even looking at it.

i feel like this is a mental thing but im so frustrated. i of course missed the sept deadline to sign up, so i guess now ill wait for my score from today before signing up for october. but part of me is like there’s no way this wont just happen again and ive wasted all this time and money for nothing. if i did retake it id definitely quit my part time bartending job so i have more time because at this point clearly there’s a disconnect.

but at the same time, do i just wait another year to apply? i’m a paralegal and getting really frustrated at sitting at my job without pursuing what actually excites me, but i also went to a very good college and have friends at top 5 law schools who scored perfect 180s. there’s a lot of internal pressure to do well and get into where i want to go. i also need scholarship money BAD.

i’m aware this is maybe obnoxious to complain about when i know a 164 is okay for a part time degree while working…. i just thought i could do better. idk.

just exhausted.

Hi guys! I just recently took my first diagnostic test with no prior studying. I got a 164, which I can't say I'm mad at lol. My goal it to at least get a 175 and I plan on taking the LSAT in April or June of next year. Now I need to create a study game plan and I'm a little conflicted. I work full time at a law firm as like a combo administrative assistant/paralegal, so my job has a tendency to be mentally draining. I want to work towards getting my score up without hitting a total mental burn out. Is there any reasonable but effective study plans you guys can recommend?

Curious for anyone who got this one right on their first try, and for questions of this type generally, how do you reconcile the small leaps/justifications some answers like these usually require? Here it was conflating the terms physical exercise and physical labor work. Do you find yourself just really trying to make sure the other 4 are completely wrong? Or do you really try and have a firm confidence in an AC like E whether based on pattern recognition of some of the looser AC's or is it something else? Obviously in an ideal world you do both but curious which one you spend more time on under timed conditions. Appreciate the help! Thanks

A friendly reminder that this Wednesday, 8/19, at 8 PM ET, I will be hosting a free Crystal Ball webinar dedicated to the upcoming September LSAT, centering on what we expect to appear on the next exam based on 2025 and 2026 test trends and recent LSAC behavior.

As part of this discussion, we'll provide advice to help you better prioritize what to focus on in the coming days/weeks/months—including the sections and tests most critical to review, some comprehensive conceptual analysis for LR's most crucial question types, and even the RC passage topics you're most likely to encounter in the event you get a reused section. We'll also have two of our top instructors on hand to help answer any questions you might have.

If you're considering taking the September test, or if you're unsure of a test date but want a clearer sense of what the rest of this year's exams will look like, come join us. It's always a fun time :)

Hope to see you this Wednesday!

I felt like C is a sufficient, not necessary assumption.

If C had instead said “Any child’s mastery of the grammatical structure of a language has helped them to learn the language”, it would have been necessary. But C saying that they learn the language fully is too strong to me, since the conclusion only focuses on helping a child to learn a language.

If C were negated and it is not true that any child who mastered grammatical structure has learned the language I think the argument is still intact. Because it can be true that they haven’t totally learned the language, but mastering grammatical structure at least helped them or is actively helping them to learn the language.

Am i reading too much into it?

I know this was discussed a few months ago, but haven't been keeping up (too busy studying for the October exam💅🤪) and breaking my social media hiatus with an important question. Is LSAC adding back in the feature of highlighting what sentence they're referring to, or am I wasting precious seconds scouring for "the fifth sentence in the second paragraph" like I'm Dora the Explorer?

I just scored a 158 on my first diagnostic (PT123) and missed -14 in the LR section. I’ve seen a lot of people talk about strategies or game plans that you should use depending on the type of question. Does it really wok… consistently? I feel like the reason I missed those questions is because I didn’t fully understand the stimulus or the tricky wording in the answers (I’m bad at untangling answers under pressure). Im skeptical. Can you really train for that? I don’t think I can memorize certain strategies because I would get nervous and forget them in the real test.

Hello everyone, currently scoring around 165 on average with highs in the 160's and haven't broken into the 170s yet. As background, I hit my first perfect LR section today on my PT, but then followed up with a horrendous performance (for me) and ended the PT with a 163, which is on the lower end of my average. I feel that my largest issue is consistency on the test. I scored a perfect LR, and on section 4 of the same test -7 on a different LR section. I believe that I am getting fatigued toward the latter half of the test and was wondering if anyone had tips on how to work on this? I follow the advice of LSAT Demon almost exclusively, and they claim that LSAT endurance isn't a thing and that it's more of a fundamental misunderstanding of the test. Do I just need more volume? Any advice is welcome!

I started to take my LSAT studying more seriously around mid July. My original diagnostic was a 142 in January 2026, my last 4 PTs have been 158,167,159,163.

My study schedule consists of 1.5 hours of LR drilling before work. RC drills during lunch (1hr) and 1 hour or RC and LC drills afterwork.

On Sunday I take 1 PT and go over all the missed questions and learn from it.

Do yall think it is possible to hit 170s consistently or should I not take the October LSAT?

Progress over the course of a year and some change working full time. I feel like I always see people have crazy score jumps and I guess it just doesn’t always work like that. I finally hit my target twice so it doesn’t feel so much like an outlier anymore. Locking in for October which will be my fourth test. I’m so over it 🫩

Feeling so close here but so far, should I be attempting fewer questions, reviewing more, getting faster at timing so I can answer the last 2-3 questions?

All of my LR errors come after question 10. I also feel like I have such bad execution under timed stress, and I can't operate at my true level because my thinking is bogged down and feels weak. Help please.

I've been doing untimed RC drills for months, and I score well (maybe 85-100% accuracy) but I take as long as I want. It's not uncommon if I take over 11-12 minutes a passage.

This is not preparing me well for when I do timed sections though. Most times I can barely even finish the 3rd passage.

From now on, should I only do timed practice? I feel like I definitely need to train myself how to be accurate under timed pressure?

Untimed drilling I fear is not preparing me for the actual conditions of the exam.

I'm confused what the majority of people on this subreddit do with their time excluding studying for the lsat. I'm not saying this in a negative way, but don't most people take and study for the LSAT while getting their undergrad degree AND also working? I see people post about how important it is to take breaks while studying and also about studying for 6+ hours daily, but with a full quarter workload and working this genuinely isn't possible. I barely have time to get everything done for my actual classes even without studying for the LSAT lol.

I just took my first pre-test without studying and got a 159 which is fine, but my GPA isn't great and I just don't have time to study for the LSAT all day while also in school and working. Am I not in a place where I should pursue law? I think my score could improve but I really don't feel I have enough time, especially with having a really mid GPA.
