Hi! I live in the city and would love to join up with some people every other week or so to go over LSAT questions, strategy, etc. on the weekends. I'm aiming for 170+ (ideally mid 170s) and trying to take it in February. Let me know if you're interested!

Hey everyone, If anyone is in NYC and is down for group studies, comment on this post.

Let's get in touch :)

I'm taking the test in January and would love to create a study group if anyone lives in Oahu!! Let me know <3

Hi all,

I've been struggling with staying focused even for small drills for extended periods of time (30min lol) periods of time and it is genuinely so frustrating. Anyone else have trouble with focus? I get distracted so easily it makes me doubt myself and future career prospects :(

Hi guys, does anyone know how to reset your drilling pool, mine keeps saying only "Selecting from 1,145 of 2,538 questions in your drill pool" and my drills consist of only level 5 questions when i'm trying to focus on level 1 and 2

I just scored a 175 on PT126.

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

https://7sage.com/lessons/logical-reasoning/lr-fast-track/fast-track-main-conclusion

https://7sage.com/lessons/logical-reasoning/lr-fast-track/fast-track-sufficient-assumption

https://7sage.com/lessons/logical-reasoning/lr-fast-track/fast-track-necessary-assumption-questions

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!

Adding this here aswell lol. Just consulted with a law school admissions "expert" who told me even though I have a bachelors and masters in criminal justice (i plan to go into public service/ criminal law) and 4.0 LSAC GPA that i have absolutely no chances of getting into my target schools part time programs (highest is ranked 63rd and lowest ranked in the 100s so not t20 or anything) because my LSAT is significantly poor especially in comparison to my transcripts. i also have 2 years of work experience in the legal field as a paralegal. she told me to basically throw my whole app away and wait until next cycle to apply.

do i take the january lsat and apply later in the cycle? i have all my other materials set. is january even considered late for part time programs with march/april/may/june deadlines? any input helps!

Hi All, If you need accountability buddies and/or someone to check understanding with, please reach out! I’m looking to change careers, and would appreciate those motivated to get above 170! We can all meet online first for comfortability sake.

Two problems with the suggested timing distributions for RC. I've attached two screenshots to illustrate this

1) Suggested timing inconsistency: If you total up the suggested time for each of my questions individually, I'd be at around -0:06, but the overall recommended pace in the second screenshot says I'm actually -00:51. Which one is the real suggested time?

2) Way too little time recommended for the passage: If i had a dollar for every time somebody told me to slow down on the passage and focus on retention, I'd actually be able to afford law school. Point is, the consensus seems to be that the best strategy is around 3-4 minutes (minimum) on the passage, and try to blitz through the questions. But as you can see here, having spent 3:44 on the passage I'm being told I spent almost 2 whole minutes more than I'm supposed to have used. Granted this is a 4 star passage and I was pretty slow overall, but still, this was not a passage I could've gotten through in just 2 minutes and expect to retain any info.

Maybe there's some setting I'm unaware of which lets me tweak the suggested timing based on my strategy, and if so please let me know. Otherwise I’d really appreciate any clarification on how these suggested timings are calculated.

I have been studying very lightly the last two months, and as I get closer to my test date, I want to start structuring my study better. The issue is, I don't know how to properly integrate the core curriculum into my studies. I currently aim to take one PT every week or two, and I spend my time in between working on my wrong answer journal and drilling LR and RC sections (For reference purposes my most recent PT was a 170, and my average is 164). Unfortunately, I have barely touched the core curriculum because I feel as if the "foundations" section isn't super helpful to me where I am right now. I don't know how to utilize the curriculum so I don't use it, and I feel like I'm missing out on a lot of helpful content. Should I jump ahead in the planned path? Should I just push through the entire curriculum? I want to make sure I am getting the most value from my time, and the resources available. Does anyone have any advice/insights? Thanks!

need some motivation....took the lsat twice in 2023 and got 130's. started taking it seriously last august and took the november 2024 lsat and scored a 146 even though i was scoring mid 150's on PT's. i took a break and re started studying this september. scoring 157+ on my PTS. but im fluctuating. some drills and sections are great and others are terrible. i dont know whats not clicking. my confidence dictates my studying. every bad drill and section really crushes my motivation and makes me want to give up. is this not for me? i know im capable and im the only one in control of all of this. but i need some tips on what can really set me up for success. i suffer from bad anxiety, and i feel that it really effects me on the test day. somedays i really want to give up after this long journey that i started in 2023....

Reyes Aguilar and Jake Baska dive into one of the great ghost stories of the law school admissions process—yield protection. What is it? Is it real—like “real” real? What’s the difference between yield protection and admissions officers just being selective? And most importantly, how can you avoid this trap?

In this episode, Bailey and Henry discuss how to regain focus after a difficult fall LSAT. They outline practical steps for resetting your approach, rebuilding confidence, and creating a clear plan for the weeks leading up to the January exam. Listen in for advice on how to move forward with intention and improve your performance.

I have a question regarding LSAC’s GPA calculation. I completed a Bachelor’s degree in Communications in 2017, and later earned a Bachelor of Laws degree in 2025. I am based in Vietnam—not the United States—and I am planning to apply to U.S. law schools for a J.D. program.

When submitting transcripts to LSAC, am I allowed to submit only the transcript for my Law degree and exclude the transcript for my Communications degree, since the GPA for that earlier degree is relatively low? Or does LSAC require that I report all undergraduate coursework completed across different degrees?

Hi fellow 7Sagers. I just finished taking my fifth prep test, and I have scored almost the same score (156ish) every time. I go back and do blind review and almost always end up in the 170s, so I'm assuming this is just a timing issue. What do you guys recommend on how to move forward? I've started drilling harder questions and have overall found a significant improvement in getting questions correct (e.g. getting very difficult and most difficult drills all correct, sections with max 3 wrong instead of 8-10 and getting 0 wrong on blind review), but when it comes to these PTs I don't know what's happening to me.

For context, I'm about a month and a half into consistently and rigorously studying for the LSAT. Goal is to take it in February next year. I would appreciate advice from any of guys who may have been in similar situations as me. Thanks :)

Unsure if someone has already asked this, but as a student who will have taken multiple years between graduating undergraduate and starting law school, when a law school application asks about "an interruption of six months or more in your education," should we discuss/explain gaps years between undergrad and law school?

Thanks!

When constructing your resume, how much should you include in it? I know it's restricted to two pages (for most law schools, there are exceptions) and that it's best to try to be comprehensive. However, I have had several jobs and positions/, and I am struggling to include them all in 2 pages. I have cut my part-time jobs, but am still missing internships and extracurriculars that were really important/valuable to me, and I want to include them in my resume and application.

I have been studying for the LSAT for a while and am seeking to study with a small group of people that I can view as accountability partners. I want to be able to walk through each question to explain why each right answer is right and why the wrong answer is wrong. I feel as if I have hit a plateau, and I want to take the necessary steps to break through to my goal score.

Currently, I am testing in the mid to low 160's and have an end goal of reaching the high 160's or lower 170's. I understand the fundamental principles and have been working to get my accuracy as high as possible, as that is the only way to score in the higher range.

I am open to a virtual or in-person group; I am based in Austin for college and will be in Houston once I graduate.

Anxiously waiting for my November LSAT results in about a week. IM NERVOUS

hello! recently began full-time studying for LSAT and am looking for a virtual study group to keep me accountable and also learn from! looking to set up a consistent group study schedule on PST time where we can drill, pt, review concepts. i can also create/link a discord if there's enough interest! thanks ☺

I've received a few emails from several law schools offering me CAS fee waivers if I reached out to the school and ask. Does anyone know of any good narratives to use when drafting emails for waivers?

I have a quick question—actually, maybe two. I'm finalizing my law school application essays, but I'm having trouble finding the proper format for a Personal Statement. I couldn't locate any information on 7sage. Where can I find a sample Personal Statement or any essays? I want to clarify any discrepancies in the proper formatting. For example, is indentation before every paragraph required?

Hello fellow prospective attorneys. This is my first post. I am confused about which months next year it would be the most ideal to sit for the LSAT in order to gain admission in Spring 2027. I thought of doing April and June - I started studying in September.

Thanks.
