On September 1st, over a hundred law schools announced updated application requirements. No need to rush to LSAC -- we have them all for you here!

https://7sage.com/admissions/application-requirements

Some initial takes:

• Lots of schools are adding Why X essays

• Lots of schools are adding what we're calling the "agreeable disagreement" essay that Stanford, Yale, and Columbia were trying out in the last few cycles.

Check them out! If something still looks like it's from last year, that's because that school is waiting until either September 15th, 30th, or October 1st or 15th to announce their new requirements.

Happy applying! And if you want to dive deeper on any of this, come visit us at 7Sage Admissions.

It's been a few weeks since our last forum post on games. Since then, we've added:

• Tone Tasting 🍷 (detect author's attitude)

• If-Then Blitz 👾 (identify sufficient and necessary conditions in conditional statements)

• The Monster Files 🫈 (practice strengthening/weakening causal arguments)

Check them out and let us know what you think!

We're also rolling out various other updates each week to other games (adding additional content, adding pause functionality for games that involve timing).

For context I want a score of 170. But this is such a massive result for me, because my diagnostic was 143 and in only 2 months I've gotten to a 155. I started studying fresh out of high school this past July so I could get ahead of everyone else in my year.

Anyways, just wanted to share my success with y'all. Hopefully I can PT around the 170s by December! Let me know from your experiences if that's possible. I study around 2 hrs a day with Sunday being a rest day.

I have been studying for over a year now and have drilled all of the questions available. I think it would be super beneficial to implement a feature that would add the most recent questions answered in a cycle or something that wouldn't allow them to be drilled withing 2 weeks or something. The problem I get is that I click the "any" tab for the question freshness and I have seen questions that I answered yesterday or the day before, even when there is a pool of 2,000+ questions. It would be awesome if it were possible to bring up other questions instead of ones that I remember and can unintentionally answer quicker.

(Backend)It would be super easy to implement a variable tag for each question the gives it a time restraint for a week or so.

I recently got the lowest PT I've ever had right before my Sept LSAT this week, and I feel so panicked that I'm going to do bad. I've also taken the October date, and I may register for November, but I've been plateauing at the low 140s for months, I got a 149 once, but my Blind Reviews tell another story: I've gotten high 150s and 160s for BR, and I honestly don't know what to do better. I wish my first takes were better than my BRs. I know timing has been an issue for me as well. I've taken a virtual class, I've finished the CC, maybe I need to do more drilling and PTs? Any advice on what I can do to potentially increase my score from now till the October exam?

Girls....I'm scared. No but seriously I would be lying if I didn't have some anxiety built up for this next test. I have been attempting some PTs and I am on average scoring 5 points higher than my original score, with being about 7-8 questions off from the scaled/raw score that I am aiming for...and a lot of that comes from rushing due to not having enough time or second guessing which is so frustrating. Hoping that with some additional prep this week (and maybe some deep breaths) will help me out. Good luck to everyone!!

Looking for some advice from anyone who may have experienced something similar. I’m currently signed up to take the September (12th) and October LSATs (have taken it twice previously). I took the August LSAT and had been going through a bit of a slump at the time and ended up getting the same score as the first time I took the test. The slump lasted a few weeks, and has only just started to turn around in the last 1.5 weeks. In that timespan, I’ve taken my two highest scoring PTs (8 points higher than August score).

My question: I had resigned myself to most likely not taking the September LSAT as I wasn’t yet at my goal score and wanted to build consistency and confidence to get there before taking it again in October and to break the slump. But now that I’ve had my two highest scoring tests that have been around my goal score in the past five days, I’m reconsidering. Do I ride the momentum this week and hope it continues, or do I stick with the plan to get more consistent with these scores before October to prove it’s not a fluke? Any advice appreciated!

This is a fun post to hopefully distract myself from some pre-test anxiety😅 (T-2 days until I take it). What is your planned celebratory meal after the LSAT? I'm getting takeout--hot honey pepperoni pizza, maple bourbon-glazed Brussel sprouts, and maybe an ice cold beer from a local brewery. Oh, and I'm also getting my favorite chocolate, Ferrero Rocher white chocolate hazelnut. Originally, I was going to take myself out to dinner, but I think I'm feeling a cozied-up-on-the-couch evening more.

What are your post-LSAT plans? 😊

Looking for a study partner/group who wants to work together in-person and/or virtual in Capital area in Michigan.

I have an official 168 looking to bump up to a 99th percentile in October

After studying to retake the LSAT, I've realized I'm running low on clean preptests and sections. I am thinking of utilizing the bonus preptests. I was wondering if there was anything in particular I should keep in mind when using these? Are they best used for individual drills, or whole preptests, etc.?

Hello,

I'm just getting started with 7Sage, but before I found out about y'all I already started practicing using the free LawHub practice tests and drill sets (specifically prep tests 140 and 141, the first 5 LR drill sets, and 3 RC drill sets). And I was just poking around to give 7Sage a shot, but then I saw one of the first lessons used the "Spanish 101" question from prep test 141, so I'm worried that I'm going to be exposed to a lot of the same questions. I haven't subscribed yet, but when I do, will the completed questions be synced over from LawHub? Or is there some other way to mark them internally?

(P.S. I'm optimistic about so far about 7Sage, given my previous strategy was to track all my question types in Excel and use a complex formula to figure out my weakest areas and then seek out similar problems in borrowed LSAT prep books... 7sage definitely seems more streamlined. And it even has games!)

Edit: I just realized my PTs were automatically imported from LawHub and already incorporated into its analytics, so that's great! I'm still not sure about the LawHub drill sets though

Should I drill the questions I am more confident on or drill the one's where my accuracy is very low?

Is anyone else’s webpage force refreshing? It happens when I try to type messages to Sage and literally happened twice when writing this post (I had to copy & paste from my notes app) because the refreshes erase everything you’ve typed. It’s super annoying and is making the website unusable.

Aside from wrong answer journal what strategies do you guys use to really learn from mistakes?

I have a friend who is currently a 2L, he's helping me out with what to do. He told me to add a paragraph to my personal statement about why I specifically chose this law school to apply to, and to show I researched and actually care about this specific law school. He told me to do this for every law school I'm applying to.

Now my question is, should I heed his advice? Or not?

My own logic says to not include this in my personal statement because I have a very powerful + long story that led me to pursue a law degree. And I just want my statement to have that experience, the ways it affected and changed me, and then end with wanting to become a lawyer to prevent anyone else from going through my experiences (not in a "I wanna save the world" cliche type of way, it's more authentic)

Would love to hear y'alls opinions! Thanks.

This is of course something that is so welcome and I am not trying to second-guess myself AT ALL (especially since I am taking the September exam lol). However, I just feel like this is a fluke since I feel like my PTs have never broken into the 170s before and I very consistently fall into -5 LRs, especially with conditional reasoning mistakes. Any advice on trying to replicate this come test day?

I just took my second full PT and scored a 137, up from a 125 on my first PT two weeks ago. My ultimate goal is a 175–178, and I’m currently scheduled to take the LSAT on October 7.

For those who started in a similar score range and eventually reached the 170s, what did your progression realistically look like?

At this stage, what kind of improvement should I ideally be seeing from PT to PT to know that my studying is actually working? How frequently should I be taking full PTs, and what score range should I consistently be reaching before I consider myself ready to sit for the actual exam?

Most importantly, based on your experience, what is a realistic timeframe for going from the high 130s to 170+? I know a 175–178 is a very ambitious goal, and I’m willing to postpone my test date if necessary rather than rush the process.

I’d especially appreciate hearing from anyone who made a significant score jump: how long did it take, what changed in your studying, and at what point did you start seeing the biggest improvements?

I don't normally do this but I've just been feeling so nervous and stressed out. I hope there's other people who can relate to this. I've been studying for the LSAT for two months. I'm taking the test on Friday and I'm just simply not ready for it.It wasn't my decision to only study for two months, I was pressured by my family into registering for the September LSAT. I spent the entire summer studying full time and I've been so miserable. I don't go outside. Every single day I've been studying and studying. I've made good progress but I need more time. I don't feel comfortable having to take it when I'm not where I want to be right now. I'm a first gen student and with the current political climate, my mom has been pressuring me into applying for law school this year. She just doesn't understand the process and it is really frustrating. I'm under so much pressure it's unbearable. I'm posting this in case anyone else relates and wants to talk about it.

Hey guys! Usually my accuracy is really good while drilling & doing sections but these most recent sections and PT's (PT 151 and 152) are really taking it out of me. They feel more taxing and I guess they're exposing an underlying mistake I keep making so is the idea to just review and try to figure out how I can tackle the questions I am missing better? For reference I usually get about -2 per section with a comfortable amount of time left and recovering my misses in BR but these recent sections have been around -5 with me running out of time and my most recent one I only ended up recovering one. Are there any tips on how to recover from a slump? Should I kill volume and only review for the next couple of weeks? My drilling is still very good so should I start only drilling level 4 and 5 questions from more recent prep tests? Taking the November LSAT

I was wondering why cant 7sage have a Wrong Answer Joural section in their platform?? Would be a great addition I believe.

does any1 have any tips, i did my BR directly after and the difference is pmo 😭 pls i feel like i do okayish during my drills and stuff but i swear every time i do an actual full test at once i be on some bs.. writing for october and my BRs have been between high 160s-170, i feel like my drills and BRs just arent indicative of my actual performance i feel like i doubt myself a ton when im doing a full test...

Hello everyone!

My name is João, and I scored a 171 on the June 2026 LSAT. I’m currently offering LSAT tutoring for students who want to improve their scores through a structured, analytical approach rather than simply taking more and more practice tests.

As a non-native English speaker, I’m particularly familiar with the challenges that can come with mastering Logical Reasoning and Reading Comprehension. During my own preparation, I kept detailed records of my mistakes, identified recurring patterns, and created targeted drills to address the underlying weaknesses.

What I offer

1. Free initial consultation — We’ll look at your current performance and identify the areas with the most room for improvement.

2. Detailed PrepTest analysis — I’ll help identify recurring mistake patterns and why they’re happening.

3. Personalized drills — Practice specifically designed around your weaknesses.

4. Customized study plan — A focused plan built around your goals, schedule, and current score.

5. Logical Reasoning strategy — LR is my strongest area, and much of my approach focuses on developing a systematic way to analyze and eliminate answer choices.

My tutoring is especially suited for students currently scoring around 150–160 who are aiming to break into the 160s or 170s and want a more structured approach to their preparation.

Rate: $40/hour

Monthly package: $160 for 8 sessions (2 per week) — $20/hour when booked as a monthly package.

If you’re interested, feel free to message me. I’d be happy to set up a free consultation and see whether I can help.

Best,

João

Hi guys!

Last year when studying for the LSAT I was hitting around 156-158 which I was fine with. I took the LSAT and got a score in the mid 140s, which was incredibly disappointing. I took it remotely, and there were some issues so I am not sure if that was the main reason for the huge drop in my score.

I am taking it again in October, and have been scoring in the high 150s and low 160s with BR in the high 160s low 170s. I am incredibly nervous that my score is going to drop into the 140s again when I take it. I get very nervous and anxious when I am in that kind of setting.

I have been studying at coffee shops and at the library to get used to people getting up and moving around.

Does anyone have any tips on how to manage my stress when taking the official test? Has ayone dealt with this issue before?

Thanks!

Hi there, this is my first time taking the LSAT and I'm a bit nervous about taking it remotely. Could people share their experience on how they prepared their rooms and laptop/PC before their exams? I'm taking it on a macbook.

Thanks!
