Maybe I'm getting too comfortable posting on here lol, but I wanted to share a painting I made this week in efforts to relax and distract from LSAT anxiety. For those of you who are also highly critical of yourself, please let this serve as a reminder that your LSAT score does not define you and to give your mind some time to relax! 
The section time is skewed a bit because I had answered a few questions in class, then began it on my personal computer. Outside of that though, I missed one! The progress has been slow but steady. I usually miss 6-7 questions. Seeing such changes is super motivating and exciting. The hard part now is to keep it going! I wish everyone the best of luck on their studying and tests!! Stay Swag 💯💯
I'd like to know I'm not alone on just struggling in this regard. Studying exhausts my work brain, and my work brain exhausts my study brain, don't know what to do about it at this point. I'm married and while I don't have kids, I have until recently been dealing with a lot of problems with my family too. My tests next month but I'm stuck 3 points below my goal score on my most recent PTs and don't know how to progress. And while I'm happy for the community, it can get very discouraging logging in and seeing people posting about their 178-180 PT scores.
I remember hearing in the 7sage podcast that, at least, fulltime work while applying is a powerful soft factor and that's my sole consolation.
Hey, just joined and I am using Chrome, but when I click on adaptive drill my screen looks really weird and overlaps and I can't click the x button nor can I see the full question. Any ideas or help?
Hello, for some reason I cannot cancel my subscription.
Hello all,
I recently completed my entire foundations over the span of 3 months with a consistent streak of 68 days. However, as I've just entered the drilling phase of my curriculum, I expected to at least increase in 10 points yet my analytics show otherwise. The Sage AI proposes that I just drill Causr and Phenom considering that these are my 2 main leaks, yet it feels as though I am spreading myself thin.
What I mean by this is why is it that when I drill in these areas, I get half wrong and half right (EX: 5/12, 7/12 BR). And in PTs, I score a 139, BR 152, when my goal is just a 162. I've thought about drilling each question type until in which I know the mechanical process down to a T before moving onto another question type I need to improve in. For example, I'm consistent in solving MC question types so I figured I could apply this approach to other question types. Moreover, even if I just consistently do my practice blocks, I still feel as though I am just doing a task instead of actually internalizing a mechanical process.
Does anyone have any tips or is feeling the same way? I'm just a bit ambivalent here as to what I should do. It would also be nice to talk to a tutor but this curriculum alone is all I can afford at the moment.
Thankyou
Just absolutely bombed PT 157 after 3 weeks in between PT. Went backwards in scoring by 8 points. If anyone has words of encouragement, I would love to hear them. Was not intimidated by the PT this time and felt more comfortable. Just lacked my time on RC, and was not focusing enough LR.
Hi everyone, I underestimated my personal statement and can't come up with any good, interesting topics. I wanna write about why I would be a good fit for law school, but so far I don't like what I have. If anyone has experience with writing PS and can read mine and give feedback, that would be great. Just looking for someone else's perspective on it because I'm unsure.
Just wanted to say that I'm really grateful to 7sage for giving free access to fee-waiver students. There is no way I would've been able to afford and study the curriculum without 7sage's kindness. You have no idea how much of an impact this makes for us lower-income test takers. I'm forever indebted to 7sage and my GOATS, J.Y. and Kevin 🫶🫶🫶
Hi I have been studying since January and I recently started taking PTs in July. Ive recently been focusing more on reading comprehension so I was expecting a little dip in my LR score, so the first section didn't surprise me at all. Im just surprised that I got 9 wrong in the final section, I was thinking this could be a stamina issue since I usually get 4-6 wrong per section. It felt like nothing was clicking and I kept re reading the same sentence multiple times on the last section. I've scored 161 on my last three PTs and usually that is because most of the misses are in RC. I thought if I fixed my RC issue then I can reach my goal of 165 but now I think my issue is stamina possibly?
Any tips to keep your brain just as engaged through all sections?
I have been dealing with moderate depression and anxiety for several years before I ever started preparing for the LSAT. My symptoms began during my senior year of high school, and over the years they have improved with long-term medication. I am generally able to manage my daily life now, but I still experience periods when stress becomes overwhelming. During occasional preparing days, I experience intense anxiety symptoms, such as a very fast and persistent heartbeat and trouble concentrating. I also have long-standing sleep problems, which may contribute to some of these symptoms. Outside of studying, I try to maintain my mental health through activities that help me recover emotionally, such as attending concerts, watching films, and going to live shows. I’m curious whether anyone here has gone through something similar. How do you handle daily anxiety and depression? I would really appreciate hearing about your experiences and any strategies. Thank you.

Hi, I'm using the default PT, Section, Drill availability presets on 7Sage. I'm just confused specifically about how many PTs I should try to preserve for testing vs. sections? I feel like I'm short on PTs and Sections but I still have like 1900 LR drill questions and 172 RC passages for drills which seems excessive compared to what I have allocated for PTs and Sections. Additionally, I've taken PTs 141 (diagnostic), 118, 119, and 128, and it says my next one up is PT148. But that would be skipping over PTs 120-123 which are all 97% fresh? Should I take those as PTs first before I jump to PT 148?
Just confused and might be overthinking if I messed something up or not. Any advice is appreciated!
The few classes I've been to led by Mikey were some of the most rewarding and productive classes I've taken in my entire LSAT and college career. His advice before my April exam truly changed my mindset and helped me more than I could have ever expected. First of all, thank you, Mikey! Second, I would LOVE to see him teach more classes!
I've been studying for the lsat the past year. I also applied this past cycle and unfortunately only made the waitlist of 2 schools which are likely to pan out in R's. I felt somewhat optimistic applying as I am a super reverse splitter. Near perfect CGPA and 15low LSAT. I'm beyond frustrated as it feels that I cannot grasp a fundamental understanding of the LSAT and makes me question my own intelligence and whether the legal field is really for me :/
During a timed practice section, I sometimes forget I need to lock in and go, and end up not having enough time for 2-3 questions- just me? While on a full timed PT or just most of the timed practice in general I am able to answer every question with enough time. However, because I know it doesn't count against me I guess my subconscious kicks in and says, "its not a PT or the real thing, no pressure don't worry."
Just curious if this ever happens to others, its not common for me but once or twice a month I've noticed it. I also haven't taken a off day for a long time...
Is the LSAT Advanced Class always going to only be available on Tuesdays and Thursdays? I have a semester commitment on Tuesday nights but I think the class would be right for me #help
Hey! I have yet to download CAS, and I was wondering if CAS allowed for more than four letters of recommendation? I have multiple people I want to ask. Thanks in advance!
Dear [name],
We’re writing to let you know about a change to how we calculate the LSAC GPA. Effective today, July 28, 2026, LSAC will no longer include grades from college-level courses completed while a candidate was in high school in the LSAC GPA calculation. This change applies only to transcripts submitted to LSAC from today forward.
We’re making this change in consultation with law school representatives on LSAC’s Schools and Candidates Committee, in an effort to ensure more fairness and equity in the law school application process. Access to college courses varies widely among high schools, and where access does exist, students may not know — or may be incorrectly advised — whether grades earned in those courses can affect their chances of being accepted to law school.
By excluding such courses from the GPA calculation, we hope all high school students, regardless of their motivation for taking college courses, can feel free to do so without concern over how it might affect their future law school enrollment.
Admission staff and faculty will, however, continue to see these “dual enrollment” grades, along with an academic note calling them out, on the CAS Report — an approach similar to how AP courses are reported. This update will help law schools better evaluate law school readiness as part of a holistic application process.
If you have any questions about this change, please reach out. Thank you, as always, for your work on behalf of your advisees.
Just wanted to share the news!! My GPA will now be a 3.97! :)
We've rebuilt our admissions predictor from the ground up. The interface didn't change, but it uses a completely new algorithm, now trained on the most recent cycles. Expect lower but more accurate predictions.
What changed
- Newer data. It's now trained on the three most recent cycles, including 2025. The old version was learning from an era that was meaningfully less competitive than the one you're applying into.
- Stats are measured against current medians. Your GPA and LSAT are now evaluated relative to each school's medians rather than in absolute terms, so median drift is built in instead of ignored.
- Your numbers are treated as a package, not a checklist. The old model added up LSAT, GPA, and URM status as independent boosts. The new one learns how those factors interact with each other and with the tier of school you're applying to — the same LSAT can mean very different things depending on the rest of your profile and where you're applying.
- Fewer extreme predictions. The old model was happy to tell you 95% at a T14 on numbers alone. It shouldn't have, and the new one won't.
What that means for you
Most people will see lower numbers, and the drop will be largest at reach schools and for profiles that were previously getting very high admit odds. Nothing about your candidacy changed — the old figures were just too generous.
How we know it's better
Tested against actual 2025 outcomes, log loss (a standard measure that punishes confident wrong answers) fell from 1.35 to 0.85, and predicted probabilities now track observed results closely across the whole range. For scale: applicants the old model gave a ~90% admit chance were actually admitted roughly half the time. That gap is largely gone.
The usual caveat
It still only sees GPA, LSAT, and URM status. Essays, softs, work experience, letters, and school-specific priorities are invisible to it. Treat the output as a well-calibrated starting point for building a school list, not a verdict.
