I am not sure where else to give this feedback, but I feel like it needs to be said.

I have caught myself four weeks into the practice section of my study plan overdoing the drills. It was not until I checked the AI tutor that I realized that I needed to slow down because my studying was unproductive and I was using up fresh questions at a rapid pace. But, it seems very intuitive as per the study plan to simply generate a block, do said block, and move on. And, since I am studying full-time this summer, I was generating the 6 hour study blocks, leaving no time for anything else. Even with the blind review, and my wrong answer journal, I was doing too many drills without changing my approach to problem questions, etc. Part of this is my fault, and after putting some of my statistics and worries into chat GPT, I was able to figure out a study plan that uses less drills and focuses on my problem sections. I just wish that a study plan like that was more intuitive on this platform. This has been something that I have struggled with all the way since doing fundamentals, as well, because I was struggling to find the time to integrate live/recorded lessons, and other features of 7Sage into my intense study plan.

Anyway, this is both for the makers of 7Sage, and for people who may also be stuck drilling nonstop in the Study Plan portion. It's ok to not generate so many hours of just drills, and devote your time to review of old questions, finding patterns in your Wrong Answer Journal, and focusing on problem areas. :)

Was anyone else tripped up trying to categorize "The keycard is valid, or the door stays shut."?

This is an exclusive Or yes? So we can't have the keycard be valid with a shut door, it's got to be one or the other. I translated the original statement into:

  1. if the keycard is valid, the door must be open

  2. if the keycard is invalid...? we only know if the keycard is valid

  3. If the door is shut, then the keycard must be invalid

🚨 Spoiler alert if you haven't solved this puzzle yet!! This statement is part of the "DOOR OPENS → KEYCARD IS VALID" group

I see that DOOR OPENS → KEYCARD IS VALID = if the keycard is invalid, the door is shut.

But I thought I was doing something correct by nullifying that as an option in #2 because it negates the sufficient? And I'm not clear on why #1 Door Shut → Invalid Key and/or its contrapositive Valid Key → Door Open isn't the answer.

Does anyone have any advice on how to reconnect with professors years out of college?

I did not keep in touch with my professors and would like to get in touch with them again as someone 5+ years out of undergrad.

Whenever I am doing RC questions, 7Sage will often mistake my time used to read the passage as time spent on questions. It also splits my reading time clock and question time clock, so I am never quite sure of the actual full time I have left. Sometimes it will say that I have very little time left to answer the questions, when in reality, I actually have a lot of "reading time" left because it just thought I took 6 minutes to answer the first question when that time was really split between reading the passage and answering the question. Then it thinks I need to work on whatever type of question was the first question because I took so long to answer it. How do I get rid of this "split clock" and let 7Sage know when I am reading vs working on the questions? I have been enlarging the reading window, but it doesn't seem to be indicating to 7Sage that I am reading.

Note: I am taking a paper test, so I have been printing out my RC sections and reading/annotating them by hand to get the hang of how the real test will be. I think this may be messing up how 7Sage is calculating my time spent reading because I am not constantly active in the reading window by highlighting, etc. That being said, I never let the computer time out or go to sleep - the window is always open.

A light at the end of the tunnel...

It was not until I discovered the analytics binning tool where you can change the window of time in your testing/drilling data that I realized I was making actual progress.

For months I have been thinking my comprehension is getting worse. Until I narrowed the gap to the past two months. I have done about 2,000 questions in the course of 10 months (intermittently studying when I have time). That stat was heavily weighing on the percentages I have been anchoring my comprehension to. When in fact, over the past 2 months I have made a 23% comprehension increase in the past 400 questions compared to the past 8 months of questions (~1,600 questions).

All that to say, I am incredibly proud of my more regimented study path, and I am pleasantly surprised by this information. But also, I am not because the sense of this test and its nuance is becoming so much clearer with each day I drill.

analytics question

are drills completed in lessons/study plan included in our overall analytics or is it just drills that we do ourselves/adaptive drill?

Hello,

Yesterday, I received my official June 2026 LSAT score, (147), and lets just say I am both disappointed and frustrated after studying for some months. But, I am not surprised. I didn't test well in the center, I didn't read well during the Reading Comprehension section and honestly, I don't think I studied correctly. Well, not at least until the last month. I had been scoring on my practice tests a 152, and while not great, it was enough to get me into my choice law school in this upcoming cycle.

I have a 3.89 GPA, I published a scholarly legal research article through my University Undergrad Law Review Journal and won several awards because of it. I have volunteered every weekend for 4 years, started my own non-profit, and worked a full-time job in special education where I have directly organized dozens of programs with understanding the compliance requirements in my states. I hold an Associates degree with honors.

I have never been a good standardized test taker, but I do not want that history of poor test taking to limit my opportunity for law school, and perhaps more importantly scholarship money that is on the table. I am unsure where to start.

On the eve of score release, I’m really thinking about my results tomorrow. Surprisingly, the past two weeks have not been all that anxiety laden for me; I’ve mostly been chilling. Though I still have some thoughts.

Conceptually, I have this test mostly down. However, I definitely struggle confidence wise. Looking back on it, I think there were a few questions I definitely got wrong because I either overcomplicated it or picked an answer I knew was bad over an answer I knew was good.

Although, I also think it’s a bit foolish to try to piece things together after the fact. The LSAT, being so specific, is hard to properly piece back together. I could be thinking back on answers, believing one would have been a better choice, but this is useless if I can’t remember the full text, as I might have noticed something in the moment that made that answer wrong.

Anyway, I wanted to write this out as a reflection before tomorrow. Likely, I’ll be retaking this exam again, haha.

First Score Release Day? Start Here for a Guide

If this is your first LSAT score release day, welcome. This is a calm and dignified process where future attorneys refresh one website hoping it crashes and they don't have to reckon with the consequences of their actions.

Here is your official guide.

The night before: Definitely stay up late. Ideally, search “LSAT score release horror stories” until your phone battery dies. Bonus points if you start recalculating your entire test based on vibes.

6:30 a.m.: Wake up before your alarm. Immediately check LSAC, even though you know the score is not out.

7:00 a.m.: Check Reddit to see if anyone else has checked LSAC. If one person says “mine is up,” this means LSAC has personally forgotten about you.

7:30 a.m.: Begin bargaining. Tell yourself you’d be happy with anything above your diagnostic. This is important because lying to yourself is a core 1L skill.

8:00 a.m.: Decide your score is either 12 points above your PT average or 12 points below it. Reasonable outcomes are for other people.

8:30 a.m.: Refresh LSAC repeatedly. If the website loads slowly, assume this is a sign that your score is lower. Lower= slower

Score release: Open your score. Catastrophize, make a permanent life decision within 45 seconds. Don't eat anything or talk to anyone or do anything beside wallow in the dark, wringing your hands over the 1 question you can remember from the test.

In all seriousness, give yourself 24 hours. I promise you will feel better tomorrow.

Good luck, everyone. May your score be high and your login work on the first try.

See title.

7Sage breaks down and teaches types of content for the LSAT, and then lets you practice the concepts taught in the practice modules; however, I've been told you need at least 300+ hours of studying to do well on the LSAT (achieving a score in 160s+).

Does this 300+ hours exclude the work prior to the practice modules?

Hi all,

My undergraduate degree was in astrophysics, so with the exception of coding, I am used to taking all my notes on paper. I know this is the best way for me to retain and visualize information. However, I am on the fence about switching from physical to digital notetaking for law school.

Does anyone have any experience, reflection, or advice about this transition? Pros and cons maybe? My understanding is that law school will require a lot of reading case studies etc which would obviously be easier to annotate digitally than print out. But what about general 1L notes?

Thank you for any feedback! Best of luck to all of you with studying <3

How patience can get you into the T14

When I first met Leah in 2024, she had already been studying for the LSAT for a year. Over the next two years, she worked tirelessly: both on bringing her LSAT up to her goal score (173) and on one of the best applications I've ever seen.

Next year, she'll be attending Michigan Law with significant merit aid. We sat down to discuss her whole journey: from her initial diagnostic through the TESTING DISASTERS that almost literally sank her candidacy on test day -- and the smart choices she made in a particularly hectic admissions season.

No. matter who you are, if you're aiming for a top school, there's something you can learn from Leah's experience.

We'll be covering more "Getting In" stories all summer. Let me know if you have any feedback or questions you'd like us to address. And if you'd prefer to listen to the podcast version of this discussion, find the 7Sage LSAT podcast on Spotify/Apple Podcasts/An RSS feed near you.

Auto Sync from lawHub

Did anyone else notice the auto sync with law hub where it pulls all your tests? It's messing up with my analytics because it is pulling from what I did in like 2025.
