hi guys! like the title says, i’m looking for people who are just starting to study and want to study together...either in person or over calls. i’m also open to studying with people in nyc since i’m not far from the city and go there often, so that’s not an issue for me. i’ve been having a hard time staying motivated lately while balancing undergrad and a part-time job, so i’d love some accountability and study buddies.

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!

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.

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.

Looking for study buddies in the area! I work a 9-5, and usually end up studying right after work for about 2 hours before going home. Lmk if you'd be down to study together sometime :)

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

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. I am hoping to create a study group for the LSAT. If anyone is in the SoCal / Inland Empire area, I would love to connect and work together! I plan on taking the LSAT in April or June. Please let me know if you are interested!

One thing I’ve noticed in RC is that some passages are especially difficult because they’re packed with unusually hard vocabulary, almost to the point where it disrupts comprehension.

I was wondering if it might be helpful to have a light, optional vocab-focused drill in 7Sage—ideally centered on words that tend to show up frequently in LSAT passages. It could be something students use on days when they want to study but don’t feel up for full LR or RC practice.

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 everyone! I’m offering LSAT tutoring and essay review services in a variety of formats. I taught myself the LSAT from the ground up and also have several years of experience providing consulting services for U.S. undergraduate college admissions. I’m happy to work via Zoom or email — feel free to reach out if you’re interested!

I find that both the font size of the words and the size of the computer screen impacts my ability to read questions and passages. Last time I took the test I know they have a big monitor to use, but does anyone know if you can adjust the font size on the actual test?

Hi! I have been at this plateau for the last ~6 months. In the last 9 practice tests I've taken, only 3 have been in the 170s. How do I move past this barrier when I feel confident abt questions during the test? Are there recommended daily study routines? I fluctuate between getting -2 and -5 wrong on an LR section and I would just love to get consistent.

Please help. My goal is mid -170s

HI! I'm taking the exam in February, so I'm trying to get ready with regular PTs. People have mentioned exam-day routines and warm-ups. Can anyone share what they do to get ready for an exam/PT and what, if any, warm up questions or drills you do? Thank you sm!!

Hi everyone!

My name is Jackson, and I have a little bit of an unorthodox path.

I'm 27, and have worked in Corporate Finance for the last 5 years. For a multitude of reasons, I have committed to a career change, and am now studying for the LSAT, with plans to take the test in June, apply in the fall, and begin in Fall 2027.

I took a timed practice test with no prep prior to building out a study plan and scored a 165 (LR -7, RC -9). With that, 7Sage recommended 19 weeks of Just Practice, meaning no lessons, just answering/reviewing/analyzing questions. However, I am a little worried that I don't totally understand the underlying concepts and am getting by on intuition (e.g. Upon reviewing questions I got correct, I don't totally understand the underlying analysis/explanation).

Should I opt for an Accelerated path to ensure I have exposure to the fundamental concepts? Should I supplement that with PTs on the weekends during the Non-Practice phase for a hybrid approach? Or should I just go with the Just Practice approach?

Thank you for spending the time to read through this. Any and all feedback is appreciated!

Hi, I'm new to this and still trying to find my way. I want to start studying for the LSAT and have signed up for a plan with 7sage. I've looked at other sites and have found everyone requires LawHub Advantage. I feel stupid asking but what does purchasing LHA give you within 7sage? Because I'm subscribed right now to just 7sage and can access prep-tests, drills and practices. I'm trying to understand, am I missing something? If so I've no problem purchasing if that's what's needed, but I wanted to be sure. Thank you.

151 Diagnostic -----> 176 Official Score

I am a 3L at a T14 Law School.

Feel free to message me directly or fill out this form (https://forms.gle/rYe8hFzuALNqLocLA) to set up a free consultation. During the consultation, we will discuss your study plan and ways to improve your score.

Hello! I'm looking to start a study group in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, but more specifically in Fort Worth if possible. I'm registered for the Feb '26 test, and likely will be retaking it in April or June. Let me know if you are interested!

In November, I noticed changes in my priority rankings that I thought were the result of a bug. After doing some digging, I learned the true cause was an update to 7Sage’s recommendations engine.

Since the update, the priority tags have become much less useful to me. A comment I found by a 7Sage employee about the update says the following:

“Why we changed it: Under the old system, if you set a high goal score, nearly everything showed as 'highest priority' (not helpful). If you set a lower goal score, everything showed as 'lowest priority' (also not helpful). Now you'll always see a clear spread of priorities regardless of your goal score setting.”

If this is the reason for the change, it seems to have had the opposite of its intended effect on me. My goal score is 180, and my performance across question types is high. Prior to the update, my priorities were spread out in a reasonable and actionable manner. After the update, all except one of my RC tags were ranked “highest priority.” Here is screenshot from the bottom of my RC priorities list:

It seems obvious to me that a question type that, on average, appears less than once per test that I have never answered incorrectly should not be ranked "highest priority"!

This problem occurs at the top of my RC priority list, too!

(Note "Miscellany" and "Logical continuation.")

To a lesser, but still significant, degree my LR priorities have also been adversely affected.

A few examples:

On all of these question types, I am above goal accuracy, but they are still labled "high priority"!

I don’t have screenshots of my priorities from before the update (I had no reason to take any at the time), but I assure you they were much more reasonably spread out.

I would like to request that either another change be made to the recommendations engine or that users be given the option to switch to the engine’s pre-November version.

I realize that I may be an edge case, and it could be argued that since I am at or above my goal accuracy for most question types, my priority tags could not be relied on to guide study regardless of the engine’s tuning. This may be true, but if my priorities must be heavily weighted towards one extreme or the other, I would prefer to see most question types labled as “lowest” rather than “highest” priority. That is closer to how they appeared before the update and would better reflect my progress towards my goals. As they are now, they inaccurately suggest I have a massive amount of unfeasible progress to make.

I think the discussion feature is really helpful, but its hard to find my own posts once I've posted them. It seems like there should be a "My Posts" tab somewhere.

Hey everyone!!

I'm currently scoring a 147 on my practice tests (im working on it!!!). When I blind review my tests, I consistently score above 157. I think my main issue on the actual test is timing; I often get stuck between two answers, overthink the choices, and usually end up picking the wrong one.

Anyone have any advice on how to perform better on the first attempt or how to address timing issues?

Took pt 158 and scored 151. The idea of law school is still brand new to me and I have never studied before. Wondering if it is something I can improve significantly through studying and if 151 cold diagnostic is a good place to begin. Where has everyone else started at and improved to?

A lot of what I want to talk about in my personal statement has to do with being in the foster system, but the more I try to lead with that the more I doubt that it should be a focal point. It's just so hard to start without coming out as a linear life story which I want to avoid. How do you START a personal statement?

i'm thinking i'm going to write about a personal story and tie it to me getting denied from law school to show im strong willed and blah blah. is it a good idea? should i not use this format with the schools i did not apply to? or only to the schools i actually applied but got denied? or just completely abandon the idea lol.

Hi everyone, I took my first LSAT exam literally an hour ago, and I feel as if I did HORRIBLE, like as if I would be lucky to score in the 150s

This is because the proctering center did not tell me they were starting me the moment I arrived at the center (I had arrived 45 minutes before the exam started, planning on going to the bathroom, taking a moment to relax, etc.). Instead, they immediately rushed me into the room, without telling me, and sat me down. I had just finished a yerba, and it hit my bladder 15 questions into my first section....

Long story short, I spent the whole first half trying not to pee my pants, and it completely took me away from an exam I otherwise think I would've done quite well in!! I unfortunately couldn't focus with my bladder hurting so much.

To add onto it, I was sitting next to someone with a cough and a kid who was muttering the whole time... :(

Should I give in to LSAC's fear-mongering and cancel my score? I would hate for outside circumstances to affect how future law schools view me as an applicant.

Thanks!
