When Vivienne scored a 129 on her diagnostic, it would have been easy for her to give up on her T14 dreams. One massive thing made a difference: she'd heard stories of others who made similarly massive improvements.

We had the fortune of chatting with Vivienne about her colossal journey: how she bagged an over 30-point jump on the LSAT and how she charmed UPenn as an under-median candidate. Check out our discussion here.

And if a top law school is your goal, it's never too early to consider what 7Sage Admissions can do for you.

Hello, I am signed up for the Total Prep Intensive course, and my first class is Monday evening, but I have a few questions about it.

1. Is the homework listed alongside the Monday class (including the diagnostic test) supposed to be completed prior to the first class on Monday, or should I wait to do it after the first class?

2. Will classes be recorded and available to watch after in case we have to miss a class for some reason?

This June test was my first-ever LSAT, and it was a horrible experience. I was constantly interrupted by proctors throughout the exam.

Right after Section 1 began, which was my only RC, the proctor told me she couldn't see my shoulders and asked me to adjust my camera. The timer was not paused. I adjusted the camera and was told everything looked fine. However, despite not changing the camera angle afterward, I kept getting interrupted during the section and was repeatedly told to adjust it again. Since I was using a laptop with a built-in camera, I eventually had to tilt my screen so much that it became uncomfortable to read.

I think I was interrupted at least five times during that first section. Then, during Passage 4, the proctor interrupted me again and said, "This is the last warning, please cooperate." That completely threw me off. I had been cooperating the entire time and was doing everything I was asked to do. At that point I was so stressed that I wanted to cry.

I adjusted the camera again and asked whether my shoulders were visible. The proctor responded, "No." I adjusted it again and asked once more, and she replied with just "." That interaction made me genuinely worried that I would be removed from the exam. I completely lost focus and feel like that RC section was ruined.

Sections 2 and 3 were somewhat better, but I was still interrupted multiple times. Before every section, I specifically asked the proctor whether my shoulders were visible and was told everything was fine. Yet a few minutes into the section, I would be told to tilt the camera further. Every time a new proctor took over, I seemed to get different instructions.

By Section 4, my screen was already tilted to an uncomfortable angle. The proctor had confirmed before the section that everything looked good, so I thought I was finally done with the interruptions. Then THE SAME PROCTOR who had repeatedly interrupted me during Section 1 came back (I remembered her name) and told me to tilt it even more. Just seeing her message pop up again was distracting because I was worried another interruption was coming. So my last section didn't really go well either.

After the exam, I checked my camera. It was showing my entire chest. I even returned it to the angle I had started with, and my shoulders were clearly visible.

I've spent the last two days agonizing over whether to request a retest. Today I submitted a complaint but decided not to retest. I've spent the last six months studying for this exam, and honestly, I just wanted a break. I'm scared about how much the interruptions affected my score because I feel like I completely lost my focus during my only RC section. At the same time, I don't even remember enough of the test to judge how I actually performed.

I'm not sure if I made the right decision not to retest... At this point, I'm just hoping I somehow did better than I think... If not I'll focus on August. I really wanted June to be my last LSAT, so that's really sad...

Hi everyone... I am commenting on here to see if anyone has gone through this and what I should do. I took the LSAT today at a testing center and from the very beginning the test was not acting right. I would click the next arrow and it would go up 2 questions instead of one and then I would have to click the answer bubble like 5 times for it to go through and the same to cross answers off. I told the center at halfway and we talked and she reset my computer and said she will write a report but also when I sat back down my test was already 30 seconds into the second half and I really don't think I took that long or maybe it just took me a while to answer all of their questions but I just went to the bathroom super quick after explaining what was going on and when I got back the test already was going. In addition, the problems were still there the second half and it just really threw me off to where I don't think I did too great. So I have some questions,

1. I told them also that it was doing the same thing the second half and they said they would write a report but the person wasn't writing down any of the things I was saying so should I still submit a report as well?

2. If I write a report can I still see/use my score if it ends up being fine? I finished all the sections and I still gave it my all so if I have some luck maybe I still scored reasonably well (trying to be positive lol) :)

3. If I wrote a report what would be the likely output? Like would they maybe give me a free retest and would that be in August? Like I said this was my third test and I was REALLY hoping it would be my last so if I would have to wait all the way to August I don't even know if I want to do another 2 months of studying.

THANK YOU for any advice and if you took the June LSAT may you get a higher score than you hoped :)

Hello 7sagers. So.........now that this June LSAT is done....now what? I have taken about 3 days off and I am already itching to start studying again (I am SO bored and the LSAT is my main stimulant.) However, I did put about 5 months of drilling into this LSAT and I will only have 3 months for the September LSAT from now. I do have an idea of what I'll need to study for this next "season" of studying but, I'm not too sure how to approach it. Should I go over the core lessons again, should I just pick up where I left off, or is there another approach? Thanks in advance for any guidance that anyone can provide me.

Hi everyone! Does anyone have advice for handling STEM-based reading comprehension passages?

I'm usually pretty good at reading comprehension, regardless of the topic, but for some reason, I really struggle with long STEM passages. It feels like my brain completely short-circuits, and no matter how hard I try, I can't absorb what I'm reading. I've tried slowing down, taking a break, and even reading aloud, but it doesn't help. I am still just staring at the page without understanding much of it.

I've never disliked science or had trouble understanding it at a basic level, so I'm not sure why these passages are giving me such a hard time.

I would really appreciate any advice or strategies that have helped others overcome this. Thank you!

Just saw an update in the drill tags.

Is there a way to revert back to the old order of the drill tags?

I really liked how in the old version, the question types were separate from the other tags. This one is harder to see, navigate, and select by question type.

I just took the June LSAT and this was my first time taking the LSAT for real. On all of my practice tests and sections, I have never ran out of time and have always had sufficient time to check over flagged answers. On the real LSAT I absolutely ran out of time and ended up having to do some LR questions really quickly without feeling confident, nor was I able to look over any of my flagged answer choices. I was wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience where they were fine on time in practice but bad during the exam itself.

I'm kind of freaking out about it and right now I'm convinced I just failed the LSAT. I did not originally purchase the score preview, but now I am seriously considering getting it, does anyone have experience using the preview?

Helloo! I'm preparing for the August LSAT and looking for a study partner. My BR is typically around -2/-3 in both LR and RC, but I'm working on closing the gap between BR and timed PTs. I'd love to meet weekly to take PTs, review together, and stay accountable. My goal score is 175+. I'm based in Queens, NY, and am open to meeting in person or virtually. Please leave a comment if you're interested! :)

I struggle the most with Quantifier type questions, but I don't see a section for it in the lesson library. How can I learn how to approach Quantifier questions?

I studied harder for the LSAT than anything in my life. I would review my questions and I was putting in the effort, but I still had blind spots that were holding me back. If you're putting in the hours and your score isn't reflecting it, that's probably what's going on.

I'm Tanner. I've been coaching privately for over three years — over 1,000 hours of one-on-one sessions — through my practice, Tailored LSAT Coaching. I work with students at every level, from first diagnostics to students in the 170s hunting for the last few points.

Before every session, I pull up your 7Sage analytics and drill data to find exactly what's costing you points. One of my students came in thinking she was just weak at LR in general. Her analytics told a different story: she was 0 for 6 on conditional reasoning questions and solid on almost everything else. Three weeks after we zeroed in on that one pattern, she was hitting 168s. Another student was scoring in the 172 range but kept losing his anticipated answer the moment he looked at the choices. I had him write down his anticipation before reading them — after a week it was automatic, and he went from a 172 to a 176.

Between sessions, you get:

• A detailed follow-up email with your drill plan: question types, difficulty levels, set sizes, and clear benchmarks for when to move on

• Mid-week check-ins to make sure things are tracking

• Tools to diagnose your own mistakes, so the 20+ hours you study without me are actually effective

As one student put it: "He teaches you how to fish."

How it works:

• 15–20 minute consultation call (free) so I can learn where you're at

• Sessions over Zoom, usually 90 minutes

• $150/hour — first session 50% off ($75)

• No packages, no commitments — week by week

• Full refund on your first session if you decide not to continue

I don't know if this is a feature or more of an event. But I'm new to 7Sage and I have really enjoyed the live sessions. That got me to thinking...is it possible the tutors could record themselves completing an entire LR/RC section or PT in a timed situation? I would want to hear their narration but not necessarily their entire explanation of the question and answer choices. I just want to see how the pros do it!!

I also think 7Sage could use this to raise money for a good cause because I would be willing to pay a nominal fee to view. It would even be great if the tutors could challenge each other like a heavyweight fight and see who scores the highest!! I don't know all of the details needed to make that happen but I think others would be excited to view as well. Thoughts??

Hi all,

The remote lsat allows you to have 6 blank pieces of paper right?

Hi 7Sage users!

I’m opening a few tutoring spots for students studying this summer and looking for more individualized LSAT support.

About me: I scored a 180 on the LSAT and have been tutoring the test full-time since January (started with part-time). I work with students across different score ranges, from those still building their foundation to those trying to break into the high 160s and 170s. My focus is on making the test feel less random by helping students build a clear, repeatable process.

My approach: I do not think LSAT tutoring should just be someone explaining questions after you miss them. Most students already understand explanations once they hear them. The harder part is learning how to see the issue before choosing an answer.

For Logical Reasoning, I focus on argument structure, flaw recognition, prediction, and wrong-answer elimination. We work on identifying what the argument is actually doing, where it is vulnerable, and what the correct answer needs to accomplish.

For Reading Comprehension, I focus on structure, viewpoint, author attitude, and passage organization. The goal is not to memorize every detail, but to understand how the passage is structured and where to return for support when a question asks for it.

Sessions are interactive. I want to hear how you are thinking through the question before I explain it. That lets us figure out whether the issue is comprehension, timing, answer choice discipline, confidence, or review habits. From there, we build a study plan around your actual weaknesses rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.

Good fit for students who:

• feel inconsistent across practice tests

• understand explanations after the fact, but miss similar questions later

• struggle with timing or confidence

• want a clearer process for LR and RC

• are trying to move from the 150s into the 160s, from the 160s into the 170s, or 170+

• want more structure in their weekly study plan

Options: I offer both 1:1 tutoring and weekly group classes.

1:1 tutoring:

• Single session: $60/hour

• 4-session package: $220 total - effectively $55/hour

• 8-session package: $400 total - effectively $50/hour

Weekly group class (max of 10 people):

• Drop-in class: $25/class

• Monthly package: $80/month for 4 classes - effectively $20/class

I also offer a free consultation so we can talk through your current score, goal score, timeline, and whether tutoring would be a good fit.

To book, comment here or send me a private message on 7Sage, and I’ll send over a scheduling link. Happy to answer questions as well.

Sharing this since I found it helpful.

In AI coach chat, enter "give me some short practical reminders, e.g. 'read the ac in full' based on my overall performance"

and sharing the response I got:

Here are your final, practical reminders, built directly from your actual performance data:

Bail out at 90 seconds. Your biggest score drops happen when you sink 2 to 3 minutes into a single stubborn question, which causes your pacing to completely collapse on the final RC passage or LR questions. If you are stuck between two choices, flag it, pick your gut instinct, and move on. Bank that time for the rest of the section.

Read all five answer choices. Your data shows a habit of "snap decisions"—locking in an answer in under 3 seconds on your first pass because it immediately "feels" right. Trap answers are specifically designed to look correct at first glance. Read every single word of all five choices before committing.

Track "who says what" in RC. On Critique/Debate passages, your most common mistake is picking an answer that blends the author's viewpoint with the critics' viewpoint. Whenever you see a pivot word, mentally anchor exactly whose perspective you are reading so you don't get tricked.

Predict the gap in LR. Your priority tags are Causal Reasoning and Phenomenon-Hypothesis. Before you let yourself read the answer choices on these questions, pause and define the exact unstated link or flaw. If you know what you are looking for, the test-makers cannot talk you into an attractive trap.

Trust your foundational skills. Your Blind Review data over the last few weeks consistently jumps into the 169–172 range. You already possess the conceptual knowledge and logic required to hit your goals. You do not need to do anything new tomorrow. Breathe, prioritize a deep read of the stimulus, and trust the work you have put in.

Hey y'all, I have been studying for the LSAT since March and am registered for the August test. I am studying because I want to do a career switch, and my goal score is 170 or higher. I am between jobs currently so I am dedicating my time to test prep, which looks like 200 questions a day through drills and sections, and reviewing each question. My last two practice tests which I took two weeks apart from each other have been 165, and my drill last 14 day average is 86%. Basically, what are suggestions to get out of this rut into 170? I have found that I am able to predict answers for the majority of the test, but there are about 5-7 each section I struggle with and that's where my range or error is. Feedback is appreciated!

May your contrapositives always flip cleanly.

May your conclusions sometimes precede your premises.

May your gap always be visible, and your assumptions never assumed.

May your answer selection eliminations be swift, and your split decisions nonexistent.

May you always spot the strength word before it spots you.

May the fatal word reveal itself before you've read the last choice.

May your reading be more comprehension than reading.

May your experimental section be a breeze.

May your stamina hold out, and your timer end later than you expect.

I'm happy to break my 7sage streak today after today's exam - good luck on yours!

As I have started to use 7Sage, I have been seeing improvement. I am doing okay in RC, but I am struggling the most with LR. I took the comprehensive version of the foundations on the study plan and that helped me go up from a 146 to a 149. My main goal is to get into UofK, UofL, or NKU. However, I have a 3.01 GPA that I am trying to supplement. I have my reasons for my lower GPA that I will be providing an additional supplemental essay or addendum for the explanation. I am taking the test in August, September, and possibly November if needed. Any advice is welcome. Thanks :) - INKY

Question for folks who have taken the LSAT remotely before: I'm planning on taking it tomorrow (June 6) at 10 AM EST. I downloaded the ProProctor software today, and noticed that the "camera preview" cuts off the bottom half of my face, to the point that I would have to tilt the screen to a very uncomfortable degree or sit at an insane position to always stay in frame. The issue isn't my camera, which shows a perfectly normal frame setting on my built-in camera app, AND when I use the ProProctor setting to take a photo of my ID and my face, it accesses my normal camera (no face cropping issues). This problem persists across both my personal and work laptop (which are both normal, high-quality Windows devices purchased within the last year). I don't know what view the proctor will have: the preview camera view (with face cropping) or the normal camera access (which so far only works on ProProctor for the ID/selfie verification).

I've heard enough horror stories about terrible proctors and getting interrupted mid-test that I'm worried that if the proctor view is accurate to the camera-specific preview, they'll do that and make me adjust the camera/screen a bunch and lead me to waste time and energy and become more stressed. So I have a couple questions for folks:

1. Has anyone else encountered this issue? Is the proctor actually able to see the full camera view or the cropped version shown in the camera preview setting?

2. I've tried calling every Prometric and LSAC support number and they've doom looped me and routed me to 4 different phone numbers at this point, with no one able to answer my question. My backup is to just grab an external monitor, keyboard, mouse, and camera from my office, and plug it into my laptop with the laptop turned on but closed, so it looks like a desktop. If that passes the ProProctor technical calibration settings I feel like that's the best bet, but would love any confirmation on if that actually has worked for people.

I can't believe we pay almost $300 for a test sitting and the customer service is this fucking terrible.

I’m so curious to hear about everyone’s experience! I’m so excited for you guys and best of luck! Wishing scores that exceed expectations for everyone! I’m sitting in August, can’t wait but glad I have the extra time to get prepped.

I've participated in and followed several discussions about making the study plan more dynamic by adjusting for missed days, added study hours, getting ahead of schedule, and other changes along the way.

While thinking about those discussions after taking the June LSAT, I realized there may be another piece we're missing: what happens after test day?

I took my first official LSAT in November 2025. After that, I signed up for 7Sage at the beginning of 2026 and was happy to start from scratch and learn the test from the 7Sage perspective. I loosely followed the study plan, worked through lessons, drills, and PTs, and just took the June 2026 LSAT.

Now I expect I'll likely retake in August or sometime this fall unless I end up with a score far beyond my expectations. Even then, I'd probably still want to see how close to 180 I can get.

So what's the recommended path?

Is there already a feature or recommended workflow that I'm missing? If so, where can I find it?

If the answer is simply changing the test date and continuing the existing plan, I'd like to request something more dynamic that factors in my progress, completed work, remaining curriculum, PT history, and the fact that I'm waiting on a score from a recent official administration.

I was hoping the study plan would acknowledge that the scheduled test date came and went and ask what I'd like to do next.

Am I done with the LSAT? Am I waiting on a score? Am I planning to retake? If so, when?

Based on those answers, the plan could provide recommendations and reconfigure accordingly. Maybe that means finishing unfinished lessons, focusing on weak areas, increasing PT volume, or shifting into a score-maximization mode.

The current plan does a great job getting students to their first scheduled test date. I'd love to see it become dynamic enough to recognize that for many of us, test day is not the end of the journey.

I have been on and off studying for LSAT for a year, but finally locked in this May and am being consistent and working 2-3 hours a day on curriculum and drills. Prep test diagnostic when I first took it was 148. I want to get into a top law school and I need to apply this term (for next year) because I graduated college this year. I am going to be in an accounting Masters program this year as well. I feel like I am making progress. Is a jump to 160 possible if I am determined? and will I be able to get into a top law school?

I accidentally submitted my section when I was on the last question of an RC section and I knew the correct answer while taking it. I want to know if I can edit my answers afterwards so that my analytics better reflect my actual work.

Thank you!

Hi everyone,

I need a bit of study advice. I just recently finished up the core, LR, and RC portions of my study plan and I'm now on my first practice block. However, I'm currently about 1.5 weeks behind where I should be. I'm planning on taking the test in August and I'm wondering if I should try to do 2 days on my study plan per day in order to catch up.

My only concern is that I might be sacrificing quality for quantity by doing this. However, I can't shake the feeling that I'm just not getting enough practice to achieve my goal score in August and that time is running out.

Please give your thoughts.
