Self-study
Hi y’all! I’ve had a 7Sage account for a while but only recently started looking into it seriously. I’ve taken the LSAT three times, with my highest score being 140. I used Princeton Review before, took a break from studying, and now I’m working with a tutor who uses a separate platform.
Lately, though, I feel completely burnt out. I work full time, try to study after work and on weekends, but I’ve been dealing with stress at home and I’ve really lost my discipline. My recent prep test score dropped, and honestly it hit me pretty hard.
I spoke with a law student who said 7Sage helped her a lot, especially with structure and understanding the test. The problem is I’ve already spent so much on tutoring, and my tutor wants me taking a prep test every week, which is starting to feel exhausting and unsustainable for me.
Now I’m debating whether I should invest in 7Sage, stick to the free resources for now, or just keep going with my tutor. I’m also really interested in study groups and accountability because I think consistency is my biggest struggle right now. The 7Sage package with accountability emails definitely caught my attention.
I haven’t lost hope but I’m also aiming for 160 -166 is this possible for me?
For anyone who’s used 7Sage or struggled with burnout, distractions, or discipline while working full time — what helped you? Any advice on realistic study plans, staying consistent, or avoiding burnout would mean a lot. I’m all ears, thank you!

Hi Angie, I've only been on 7Sage since the beginning of the year, but I can wholeheartedly recommend that you subscribe and go through the core curriculum that they offer. From what I've read, I think that the core curriculum would definitely benefit you. The fact that your tutor is not tailoring their advice to your situation should be taken as a sign that perhaps it is best if you discontinue future sessions.
As for the burnout; I just finished a full-time semester at school while working a part-time job and was able to dedicate an hour or two 6 days a week (except for finals week) just for the LSAT by following a strict schedule. It took me a while to get used to getting up at 5 a.m. every day, but I showed up almost every day because I remember the end-goal: law school. Of course, it also came with a toll. I've not had a social life per se, but I've been able to fit work, school, gym, and the LSAT, so expect to have to make some small sacrifices. It is up to you find that motivation, perhaps not to the extreme I've taken it, but always remember that you have that drive within you! I could add more detailed advice but it would be a wall of text, but if you think it would help you can private message me on here!
