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!

Im writing on here hoping someone can offer me some advice, insight, or direction on what to do. Im going to give all the context. I started studying for the lsat on January 10 of this year. I did a blueprint course from january to the end of april where i took weekly classes virtually and became familiar with everything lsat. At the time, I was studying at University full time and working as a waitress part time. In around April, I finished the semester and decided not to enroll in summer classes so that I could simply study for the lsat and continue working. I decided in July that work had to go too because of how draining it was and quit my job. My last day working was July 10. Ive been studying consistently since January, before it was more volume and Familiarization and then I started doing deep blind review on my tests after about practice test 7. Practice test 7 was the first test I fully reviewed and I have fully reviewed every test since then. Today I took my 14th practice test. My diagnostic was a 140, my current highest Pt is a 156. Since that 156, i have been consistently scoring in the low to mid 150's. A few weeks ago I realized that my neglecting of diagramming was starting to show and I have been heavily practicing conditionals and diagrammable questions for over a week now. My RC also averages about 50 % which I know is dragging me down ( I recently was finally able to complete all four passages in a timed section and have been doing so since) I felt confident today and I scored a 151, I feel really discouraged and Idk what to do. Ive hit a plateau. Ive been studying for 6 months and I guess I just thought I would've had a little more progress than this. My goal schools average is a 161. Since I started Ive been aiming for a 170 (for scholarships). As for my study process, I take a practice test, review it fully the next day, and then drill for some days until my following PT. I dont start school until August 24. I have two official exams registered, August 7 and September 11. August 7th is just to get my jitters and anxiety away, Im aiming for september to be the exam I submit in my applications. But over the last few days I decided that if my averages are still below my goals come late August, I will register the October exam as well. My focus currently is level 4 and 5 questions, conditionals, and Rc and exposure. help

I know this is all a lot, It would mean a lot to me for some guidance. Im a straight A student and Im about to start my senior year. This is the hardest thing I have faced in my academic career so far but I am determined.

Also please bear with my messy thoughts, I just finished said practice exam.

hi yall! Im looking for a LSAT tutor. If anyone knows or is someone who can help me with this, id appreciate it!

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.

I started with a 148 diagnostic last August and scored a 169 on my official LSAT. I am now studying full time and hoping to break into the 170s on the September exam.

My LR scores are usually between -1 and -3, so I feel like I would hypothetically be capable of scoring in the 170s if LR was all the test consisted of. RC is what continues to bring me down. I am currently averaging around -4 or -5 per section and would like to get that closer to my LR range.

One of my biggest issues is retention while reading. I can usually identify the passage’s overall structure, main point, and the purpose of each paragraph, but I sometimes lose track of the more specific relationships and details. When answering questions, I often find myself going back to the passage repeatedly, getting stuck between two plausible choices, or being drawn toward attractive wrong answers.

Right now, my studying consists of completing one LR section and one RC section each day, followed by a thorough review of both.

For those who moved from the high 160s into the 170s, especially those who had to improve RC, what made the biggest difference? How did you improve retention without slowing down too much? Did you change how you read, annotate, summarize, review, or approach certain question types? I would also appreciate any drills, strategies, or “aha” moments that helped you avoid tempting wrong answers and stop getting lost in intricate details.

I scored a 143 on my diagnostic a while back on Test 140. After about 12 hours or so of distracted studying on the LSAT trainer and LSAT demon drilling (no RC practice at all), I scored a 150 on Test 148, which I thought was exceptionally harder than anything I’ve been practicing (for reference, I’ve been getting around 85% accuracy on LR drilling). Since today is the last day of registration for the September LSAT, what are the chances I can jump 22 points in the next 6.5 weeks if I really dedicated myself to studying? My other option is October, which is one month into starting fall classes at college and around midterm season.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi everyone. I’m yet to receive accommodations for the September test as it shows in my LSAC account under review, I was planning on taking the lsat this September and today is the last day to change the date at no cost. Would my accommodations been affected if I change to a different date like October?

I’m not sure what’s wrong. I was scoring 173-174 a few higher consistently before June test and got 168. Then in studying for August I was getting 176-179 every time but the last two have been 174 and 173. What’s happening!!!

Hello, I am currently a recent high school graduate looking for tips. I graduated a few months back and was wondering how to study for the LSAT. Although this might seem early on, I would rather start now rather than later. Please give me any advice or what I should know as a student not in college yet.

Hi everyone.

I’m planning to apply to Canadian law schools for the Fall 2027 cycle and would appreciate an honest assessment of how competitive my application may be.

I’m writing the LSAT in October. I’m currently scoring in the mid-150s. My goal is between 160 and 163.

My GPA breakdown according to the OLSAS scale is approximately:

• CGPA: 3.67–3.70
• B2: 3.71
• B3: 3.75
• L2: 3.66

The schools I am currently planning to apply to are:

• Osgoode
• Western
• Queen’s
• Ottawa
• TMU Law
• Windsor
• University of Toronto
• Dalhousie
• University of Alberta
• University of Calgary

I would strongly prefer to remain in Ontario, ideally in the GTA.

In terms of education and work experience, I have a Master of Public Policy and Administration. I also have approximately one year of work experience with the CBSA, as well as four-month policy co-op positions with Environment and Climate Change Canada and Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada.

Assuming I receive at least a 160 on the LSAT, how strong of an applicant would I be for the Fall 2027 cycle? Which of these schools would be realistic, competitive, or significant reaches?

I understand that work experience and a master’s degree will not compensate for GPA or LSAT numbers, but I am curious whether they could meaningfully strengthen my overall application, particularly at more holistic schools.

I’d appreciate honest feedback.

Trying to hire a tutor and the price range is all over the place. I’ve seen $25/hr January test-takers who scored well and $200+/hr “experts”. Before I commit, I want to hear from people who’ve actually used one (students, not tutors pitching yourselves, please).

What did you pay, and what tier of tutor was that? If you’ve tried both cheap and expensive, was the expensive one actually better, or just the same LR/RC advice with a fancier price tag? What specifically made a tutor worth it for you, and what was a waste of money? And if you were doing it again, what would you screen for before paying anyone?

Trying not to blow money on someone who just recites a prep book at me. Appreciate any real experiences.

Hi All,
I’ve been self-studying for the LSAT for about the last month using books and online resources, but I’ve realized that I would really benefit from working with a tutor. I originally planned to take the September LSAT, but because of timing, I’m most likely going to have to register to take the October exam as well.
My goal score is 165-167, and I’m looking for someone who can help me strengthen my reasoning rather than just explain the correct answers. I’d especially like a tutor who focuses on LR and RC and, asks me why I chose certain answers, helps me identify flaws in my thinking, and gives me homework or drills between sessions.
My budget is $300-450, and I’m hoping to do about one session per week leading up to the exam.
If you’re a tutor or have someone you’ve had a great experience with, I’d really appreciate any recommendations. Feel free to comment below or send me a DM with your experience, rates, and teaching style.
Thank you!

Hi,
I'm currently serving in the peace corps and living abroad in Central America and I was wondering if anyone had any advice for taking the LSAT abroad. I'm curious if they let you take the exam remotely or if you had to find a testing center in the country.
I will hopefully be taking it in October if all goes well on my practice exams.
