Hello,

I started seriously studying in October 2025. My starting PT was 158 and I've managed to brute force my way up to 163. I'm looking for other people who are mostly self-guided so we can mutually grow and pick up on deficiencies that are hard to notice when you are studying alone. I live close to Mt. Vernon and would like for the study session to be at least 1 hour Saturday or Sunday. Let's connect and see if we can help one another!

Thanks for reading!

I've finished the reading comprehension curriculum and have always been under the impression that we should create the low-res summary in our head (which has been difficult for me but I'm trying to get better at it to save time). Is anyone writing them down and finding they have enough time to answer. I've been struggling with the timing the most on these RC questions, so wondered if you all had any strategies?

Hey all, I am planning to take the LSAT in June 2025 and am looking for a local group to study with in the New York City/Metro area. The group will be hybrid, with at least one Zoom study session and an in-person study session (hopefully) weekly or biweekly!

I am either going to make a Discord, Instagram,or iMessage group so please let me know if you are interested!

I took my first post-CC Preptest, and I'm pretty disappointed with the results.

It wasn't really about the score, but the amount of questions I missed in each section, specifically LR. It just feels like I haven't made any progress since taking my diagnostic, learning and finishing the CC, and now taking my first post-CC Preptest.

I did notice two things that I'd like to hear other folks' thoughts on.

1) I noticed that I reread the LR stimulus before ID'ing the Premises and Conclusion. First, I would read the question, and ID it. Second, I would read the stimulus once, then reread it again while highlighting the Premises and Conclusion. I think it's a really bad habit and would like to break it. Has anyone else had similar experiences? Any advice on breaking it? What can I do to take in the stimulus better on the first read?

2) I can feel myself rushing starting question 10. The first point gets worse when I'm rushing too. How do folks manage "rushing"? What can you do tell yourself not to rush? Or, how can you practice and drill to not rush?

Thank you!

Hi, I'm Nick! I've got tutoring slots open right now. I would love connect and see if you'd be a good fit!

I went from 158 --> 178 in 4 months by learning how to diagnose my mistakes and change how I approached the test. I now work with students using that same approach, focusing on underlying reasoning issues that lead to fast, durable score improvements

You can find more about my tutoring philosophy and availability on my website. Feel free to message me here as well. Happy to answer questions!

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 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!

First, the cold details: I went from a 158->172 in a few months, I have five years of experience in teaching/tutoring at all levels, I am a professional editor (so I can help with application materials as well), and I charge $50/hour.

My most recent success was bringing a student from a 161 PT score to a 171 on test day in just over a month of lessons with me!

I also offer an introductory call for 30 minutes (which you can organize by DMing me or emailing me at alexandravzbusiness@gmail.com) so that you can see if your style matches mine, and I NEVER 'hard-cut' my lessons at 60 minutes, leaving time for any leftover material that needs covering.

My main motto is 'What, like it's hard?' Because when you crack the LSAT, it really feels like it was much easier than you initially thought it would be. While I have a lot of respect for tutors that have poured countless hours into the test, I believe my unique approach to tutoring can offer something different for those people struggling with high costs and set curriculums.

What do I do differently? Well, first of all, I've recorded videos and have written detailed documents covering ALL the basics, summarizing all the knowledge that I gained from prep-books and early drilling. I also have videos on a wide range of other topics, from test-day psychology to tips on how to improve reading speed/retention.

In our actual lessons, I let the student dictate the content of our session -- whether that's reviewing questions, doing a section together, or even looking over personal statements and additional essays. I like to change my approach based on what the student NEEDS, and so the types of lessons I conduct vary from person to person. For example, my last lesson involved going over conditional logic flashcards with my student.

Most importantly, I genuinely LOVE teaching and seeing improvement in my students -- I used to do this for free, for this very reason, but I needed to gain back some compensation for my time. If you are, however, struggling financially, I'd be happy to negotiate a lower rate over a package deal for my services, or even offer free access to my recorded material.

I wanted to take a second to give a shout my 7sage tutor: Ariana. Ariana & I met under less than ideal circumstances, and she became a fantastic tutor for me. I personally have ADHD and I think her tutoring style worked really well for someone like me. One of my favorite things about our time together was the lesson plan because Ariana really took the time to tailor it to my needs while also making it doable with my busy schedule. Preparing for the LSAT has been such a stressful process and Ariana did such a good job of teaching me how to cope with that stress and tackle the questions in spite of. Would definitely recommend Ariana for students with or without ADHD!

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?

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.

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.

Hello!!! I need help and hopefully my explanation makes sense. I just started heavily studying for the LSAT this month. I’m currently learning LR material, specifically how to identify flaws in arguments. The only problem now is that I often feel like I see MULTIPLE flaws within one argument in a question. Is this an incorrect way to think about the arguments? Does anyone have any advice for how to zero in on the one specific flaw we’re supposed to focus on in order to answer the question?

Hi! I am planning on taking the LSAT in April and this will be my third attempt. Last time I scored a 160, and am looking to break into the 165-170 range. I study mostly evenings for 2 hours after work. Looking for someone to collaborate with, share tips, ask questions, etc.

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?

Hey! I want to draw your attention to three Fast Track lessons available at the end of the LR Unit:

These are designed to be short (~1 hour) overview lessons for people starting with a high diagnostic, or review lessons for people who have gone through the CC or other curriculum and just want a refresher on important points.

Since we're planning to make more of these, I'm eager to hear some feedback to make future lessons better. Most people won't see these lessons as part of their study plans, so I'm bringing this request to the Discussion forum. Thanks!

Hello! This is my first time taking the LSAT and would love to connect with others in the area! Feel free to reach out if you are in the Fargo area!!:)

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

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.

Robert

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.

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".

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.

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.
