I have everything ready to go for this cycle admissions. My question, if, god forbid, i dont get in this cycle, what will happen to the LOR? since they have date where prof usually signs? do i have to get new letters from my profs again or can i use the letters later too (for next cycle)?

Hi everyone! I’m new to the 7Sage platform. I actually used it briefly before the big update last April when I first started studying for the LSAT, so I’m familiar with the test itself. That said, I’m now coming back to it and essentially restarting Logical Reasoning and Reading Comprehension (really trying to understand each question type and why they function the way they do), and then moving into a practice block with about 10 weeks to go before the June LSAT. (Feeling like 10 weeks of practice won't be nearly enough...)

I’m finding it a bit difficult to gauge whether the amount of work I’m doing is enough. I tend to second-guess myself and get stuck in my own head, wondering, do I really understand this question type? I know that some of this is theory-based and that improvement comes with time and exposure, but I’m struggling with the feeling that I’m not doing enough—even when I’m sticking to my plan.

I’m currently studying about 1–2 hours a day while also completing a post-grad accounting program and job searching, so my schedule is pretty full. I’m also paying for the monthly subscription (unfortunately, I wasn’t able to get a fee waiver), so I really want to make sure I’m using the platform effectively.

For those of you who’ve been through this: how do you supplement question types into your study plan (I know drilling is SUPER important)? Any tips or reassurance would be really appreciated. And if anyone has taken the LSAT using the 7Sage platform for studying, I’d especially love to hear about your experience.

Thanks so much in advance!

Hi everyone,

My name is Alex, and I'm writing to offer my services as a tutor. I’ve worked as a professional educator for more than a decade, both in the classroom and in private instruction. I’ve worked with hundreds of students with diverse learning styles, and have (I'd like to think) developed some expertise in the art of teaching.

Over the years I've learned a critical (and humbling) lesson: the brilliance and subject-matter expertise of the teacher is irrelevant if they're misaligned with the learning needs and learning style of the student. This forum and thread is crawling with talented tutors who are likely a perfect fit for many of you. I'd like to provide you with some specific information about who I am as a teacher, my philosophy and approach, etc. in order to help you make an informed decision before you spend your hard-earned money.

Here is my approach (in a nutshell):

My overall goal is to make the test feel much simpler (but don't expect simple). This exam is inevitably hard, and there are questions that require a lot of brainpower. There are also, however, many easy questions masquerading as "hard" through complex language, disorienting syntax, trap answer choices, and other LSAC trickery. As a point of emphasis, I teach students to cut through the noise and distill each individual question type into its simplest form. The time this will save you (not to mention the energy) is invaluable when it comes to improvement.

Within the scope of this larger, overarching aim we will of course focus on the unique set of needs each student has (timing, specific question types, comprehension strategies, little "tricks of the trade", etc.). But the simplification is my central goal and thesis.

I myself earned a 176 primarily through focused self-study. I began with a 152 diagnostic. I know firsthand that this test is learnable, and I'd like to think that my improvement speaks to the efficacy of my approach, but again: it won't for everyone. If you feel, though, that it might be a fit for you, feel free to reach out here in the comments. Over the past few months, I’ve been fully booked with students preparing for the November LSAT. Many of them just hit the scores they’ve been working for, which has opened around three or four spots in my schedule. I’m looking to fill them with students who want consistent, serious preparation. I take this very seriously, and I wish to work with students who can offer a similar level of commitment.

I should mention also: I work with both individual students and small groups. Some people learn best by talking through problems with others; some prefer a quieter one-on-one space. I structure both formats so sessions feel focused, purposeful, and productive. A benefit of group lessons, of course, is the lower individual cost, but have some risk if people drop out. At the bottom of this post I've outlined a policy to mitigate this.

Please reach out in the comments if you have any questions or would like to work together. I wanted to keep this short and failed, but hey, at least you got some Reading Comp practice!

My rates are below

Meeting once per week: $75/one-hour session or $140/two-hour session ($70 per hour).

Meeting twice per week: $130/two one-hour sessions ($65 per hour) and $240/two two-hour sessions ($60 per hour, $120 per session)

Meeting three times per week: $165/three one-hour sessions ($55 per hour) and $300/three two-hour sessions ($50 per hour, $100 per session)

Group lesson policy

Group lessons are a great way to reduce cost, but there's a risk that students will drop out. Here's how I've tried to reduce that risk:

Group rates are the same as the individual rates listed above. If, however, a group member can't make a session, if I am given 24-hour notice, I will reduce the cost of the lesson to a degree that allows each student to continue paying their normal rate, up to a 25% reduction. I know that sounds like a logical reasoning question, so let me provide an example to illustrate this:

If a group has 5 people, and I'm meeting with them for two-hour sessions twice per week, their cost per session is $120. Split 5 ways this is $24 per student. If one member can't make it and I'm provided 24 hours notice, I'll reduce the price to $96, which allows each student to continue paying $24 for that lesson. I can, however, only reduce my price by a maximum of 25%. So if two students can't make it, I will charge $90 (25% off) which will bring the remaining three members to $30 for that lesson.

While this is imperfect, I think it strikes a decent balance and makes the risk on both ends tolerable.

Hi

I’m prepping for the April 2026 LSAT and realized studying solo isn’t cutting it anymore. Looking to form a small, focused study group or find a reliable study partner.

Ideally:

• 2–3 people max

• Regular check-ins + timed practice

• Honest review of wrong answers

• Accountability > motivation

I’m serious about improving and keeping this efficient. If you’re also committed and don’t want to drag this out alone, hit me up.

does anyone know what the bookmark tag on drilling questions at the top of the screen means?

Hi, I am currently drafting my personal statement and I am undecided on what route/topic I should choose. So, I am going to write down some of the ideas I have and would love to get some feedback.

1. My brother who died 4 months before my High School graduation, and talk about how his case introduced me to law and then wrap it up with how I want to work in criminal/corporate law? This is a sensitive topic for me, so I have been leaning away from this one.

2. Talk about how I've been collecting Care Bears since I was 6.

3. The legal TV Shows (unrealistic in a way lol) that got me interested in law.

Hi all - I've read posts on LinkedIn and Reddit (reliable sources, I know) about how some January test takers did not have a comparative passage in their RC section. Is this something that will be new going forward? Can 7Sage confirm?

i think it would be helpful if i could highlight any text or question during lessons, and there is an option to where i can do more drills like this.

i am finding that as i am doing lessons, i am wanting to test myself more about what i am learning. i wish there was a way i could highlight the exact type of question and then see an option to "practice more like this".

I'm looking for ways to improve 7Sage's community features—especially study groups. If you're in a study group (whether on 7Sage or elsewhere) and you're willing to talk to me for half an hour, could you reply in the comments? I'll chat you to set up a time.

To thank you for your time, we'll give all participants a $25 Amazon gift card.

How do you make the smartest possible use of your remaining time before the February LSAT? In this episode, Henry and Bailey break down what an effective final push really looks like and why pattern recognition, not brute-force drilling, is the key to making real gains late in the game. They talk about how to spot recurring structures in Logical Reasoning and Reading Comprehension, how to review in a way that actually builds intuition, and how to avoid common last-minute mistakes that waste time and energy. If you are locked in on the February test and want to study with intention instead of panic, this episode is for you.

I completed my theory section in December and have been drilling. But today, when I logged in, the theory section shows 72% complete. Is it a glitch or has new stuff been added that I need to complete?

Hey guys! I don't really know what else to say but I feel like im psyching myself out about the LSAT. I have these really high goals with a lot riding on it as if i do not get a scholarship, I don't know how im going to pay for law school. I guess I'm just looking for some advice. Its early in my LSAT journey and im planning on testing in June and then again in August if necessary.

Hello everyone! I am taking the LSAT in June and I was wondering if anyone was interested in a study group. I am located in The Woodlands and live in an apartment building with large study/conference rooms. I can easily host in-person or virtual events. I am hoping to mainly work on 3 star questions and up, focusing on 4s and 5s.

Hi all, I wanted to see if anyone here is as new as I am to the LSAT studying. I am in the very early stages where I still learn concepts and basics. Please reach out if you are in similar state and wish to track with someone. Maybe we can do a study group.

Hello, looking to see if there are other individuals in the NYC area wanting to meet on weekends to discuss wrong answers and go over practice problems together. I have been advised that really focusing on wrong answers and understanding them will help significantly; thus, I wanted to create a study group just focused on this. I am prepping for the June exam as I work full time, thus, I need more runway to study. Feel free to message me!

Hi! I am passionate about accessibility, and I have recognized through substitute teaching and being in the LSAT space how many people are excluded because they don't have the resources to meet their goals. I try to close that gap. I will have a few slots after the upcoming January exam. If you are interested, just open a chat with me here :) My rates are below.

$60/hr for sessions

If you have demonstrated financial need, we can be a bit more flexible with the price :)

Hi I have a question for Kevin and JY. I just saw this and I wanted to ask how 7sage is adjusting

Hi! I am looking for a high scoring tutor that is willing to look at my preptests with me and do a two-hour long session on this coming Saturday (1/17) and Sunday (1/18), and the following Saturday and Sunday. I am willing to pay up to $100/hr. Please respond to this post if interested. Thank you!

Hi! Im currently having trouble with this question type. Even after going through the lesson plan on these questions, i'm having a bit of trouble. I keep getting less than half of the questions im doing right. Does anyone have a good approach when it comes to these questions. PLLLLLSSS HELLLP :))))

hello, I was wondering if anyone knows if theres a way to get a written summary/notes of the core curriculum that is on & 7sage. Thank you

I've been studying for the LSAT since the summer and am taking it in June. I'm also currently in my third year of univeristy with a full course load, sports team volunteer work, etc. so I'm feeling a lot of stress. I know that's not uncommon when studying for the LSAT and that many test-takers embark on their LSAT journey while having really full plates. But I think the stress of it has gotten to me more than I expected. It's added a lot to my daily life and weighs heavy on my mind, it's something I'm constantly thinking about. Every grade I get back feels like the end of the world, like if it's not nearly-perfect there's no chance I'll get into law school and I'll be a failure. Every PT I do feels super important, like I need to show myself that I'm improving. I know I'm putting a lot of pressure on myself, but the LSAT and the law school application process just feels so all encompassing. I feel such anxiety about my GPA and my PT scores, it's impacting every other area of my life. Part of it is that I don't have any friends who are also taking this test, so I feel a little isolated from my friends, who are constantly asking me: "Why are you taking so long to study for that test?" and "Don't most people only need like three months?"

Any tips on not feeling like your life revoloves around academics and the LSAT?

when drilling, can I create a copy like on the old 7sage website

To begin, no matter what I do, unless the questions is super easy, I cannot identify what is necessary for a conclusion to be true. I've tried finding a stategy that works for me, but nothing is clicking.

Common suggestions that don't work and why:

Negation technique - Even if I negate something and say it's not true, when I look back at the stimulus the conclusion no longer seems wholeheartedly sound. But it ends up being wrong all the time. Even if I negate something, I cannot identify why it's necessary or not.

Must be True - I suck at MBT questions, but even those are easier than NA's. But again, for the same reason as above, I can't look at a question and identify what is necessary for the argument to be true.

Identify the Gap - Most of the time I ask myself, why does P-> C, which I know is used for Sufficent questions, but it's the only stategy that actually feels like a stategy. But I can't identify a gap or flaw in the logic, becuase 9/10 I'm wrong.

Is there any other stategy to tackling these questions than using the negation technique that could help me identify what is necessary for an argument to take place?

Hi, I just got a subscription through my LSAC fee waiver and have a few questions regarding my study plan. I plan to take my LSAT in June and have been self-studying for about a month so far. I started with LawHub's free video lessons and drill sets, and then did 7Sage's LR mini course on Youtube. I got a 158 on my diagnostic this past weekend. I notice that the 7Sage curriculum starts with videos and gets into practice later, but want to practice a bit every day if possible. If I do 5-15 questions each day in either LR or RC, will I mess up the practice plan that 7Sage has implemented in the later portion of my study plan? Is it even reasonable for me to practice throughout the foundations/theory part of the course? I am also a full time student with a job, so I'm trying to create a structured plan ASAP. Thanks!
