You only have two chances to take the LSAT: June or October. What do you do if you’re not ready yet?

In this episode, we break down a real scenario from an international student who doesn’t have the flexibility of U.S. test dates. With limited LSAT administrations available, the usual advice—“wait until you’re ready”—gets a lot more complicated.

📌 We cover:

1. How to approach the LSAT when you only have two test dates
2. Whether you should take the June exam below your goal score
3. Why having a “backup test” matters even more internationally
4. What to do if you’re still in the 150s with a 165 goal
5. When it might actually make sense to take the test early
6. If you’re studying part-time, working full-time, or dealing with limited LSAT availability, this episode will help you make the call.

A full-time teacher. Weekend studying. Mid-160s. A 171 goal. So… should you take the LSAT in June, or wait until August?

In this episode, we break down one of the most common (and misunderstood) decisions LSAT students face: timing your test. We explain why June vs August doesn’t actually affect your application timeline, when it does make sense to wait, and how an extra 2–3 months can impact both your score and your scholarships. If you’re balancing a busy schedule and wondering whether you’re “ready,” this episode is for you.

📌 Topics covered:

1. Does taking the LSAT earlier help admissions?
2. When to delay your test (and when not to)
3. Why more time = more points (usually)
4. How to structure studying with limited time
5. The smart way to plan multiple test attempts

Big announcement: the podcast is expanding beyond just the LSAT.

In this episode, we introduce Ethan from the 7Sage admissions team and start zooming out to the bigger picture—law school, applications, and what comes after the test. Ethan shares his path from philosophy major to Yale Law, what actually matters in LSAT prep (hint: consistency > grinding), and why starting too early can backfire.

We also get into:

1. Why reading matters way more than you think (and how to actually build that habit)
2. The biggest mistakes students make with LSAT timelines
3. What law schools are really looking for in your application
4. How to approach your personal statement without forcing a “hook”
5. Why your story is harder to see from the inside—and how to fix that

If you’re deep in LSAT prep or starting to think about applications, this episode is your reminder that the test is just one part of a much bigger journey.

And yes—we’re keeping the LSAT front and center. Don’t worry.
