What have you found to be the best way to improve your score quickly and efficiently?
I am taking four months off from work to study the LSAT full time (35-40hrs a week). With this amount of study time what is the best way to attack the practice tests? Should I burn 1 PT a day, 3 PT's a week or 1 PT a week?
Thanks for any advice.
I have been studying for the LSAT for a while now but have only taken 3 PTs so far. Is it normal for scores to fluctuate? I am planning to take the LSAT in August 2022, and I think I am going to start taking PTs three times/wk. My goal is to get a 165+!
Hey everyone!
Due to popular demand, I'm excited to announce that I'll be teaching a 10-week LSAT course starting June 1st!
We'll meet once a week for an hour. In addition to the instruction given during class time, I'll also assign homework, drills, and a study plan designed to support the weekly lessons and solidify key concepts. This class is ideal for anyone who wants a bit more structure and accountability as they work their way to their goal score.
The classes will convene every Wednesday via Zoom from 7pm-8pm EST. The first class will be held on June 1st, and will continue weekly until August 3rd. The class is limited to TWELVE students—first come, first served.

If you have any questions about the course, feel free to post it down below. I'm looking forward to it!
I am a freshmen in college who is on summer break. I plan on using 7 sage, the lsat trainer for RC, power core lsat logic games, and loophole for LR. I took the practice lsat through blueprint in April and scored a 130 lsat score. My goal is 171. What is some advice to make my goal be a reality. In addition I will be working full time towards the end of the summer.
Did 7sage delete the LSAT approved tutors?
I am currently unable to see the analytics by section on the analytics landing page. What used to show the numbers of questions I got wrong is now only showing "-". I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing this?
Hello all, I am new to 7Sage, not entirely new to the LSAT, took it for the first time last January and scored a 158 after studying for 3 months on my own with Khan and some popular books.
Ive heard amazing things about 7Sage but I am just not sure if its right for me.
Im extremely frustrated and confused by the core curriculum layout. It has you learn a type of question drill it like 50 times and then moves on to the same thing with a new type of question. Well by the time ive completed the drills, I try to go back to complete some questions of the previous type and I cant seem to remember the strategies and or I mix it with the one I just completed.
I feel like im spinning my tires here. Is this normal for the beginning of the CC? Do I just trust the process?
In my other study material it strongly advised against practicing one type of question over and over in an attempt to master it as it would take away from the ability to tackle different types of Q's back to back, Im worried I am experiencing this.
I am no expert on the LSAT or studying for it, but I see the success 7Sage has afforded others and Im frustrated because I just dont see any progress.
Is this normal? When will I start to feel like im actually progressing?
Like a lot of people, I had multiple connection issues while testing yesterday. They all happened during the same RC section so I had to re-read each time and then I also lost 4 minutes because of my proctor's mistake. I had two RC sections in my exam so there's a 50% chance that the one I had issues on doesn't count. I feel good about the rest of it and now I don't know whether I should retake it in May or take the gamble and use my first-time preview score on yesterday's exam.
I would be really grateful for any thoughts/advice!
Is there a way to launch a specific section section( LR or LG) of an LSAT test and go through the blind review?
Or do I have to complete the entire test and then BR?
Thanks in advance
Got a random notification from here with a response to some logic games comment and I logged in to here to delete my account and wanted to provide an update.
I half assedly went through the 7sage curriculum for a few weeks during the summer before senior year of undergrad, stopped studying, and then months later took the lsat and got a 158 iirc. Once I learned about the bimodal salary distribution and merit scholarships (thanks TLS), I decided to retake the lsat to aim for a scholarship at a t14 that can get me a big law job to pay off my loans.
After undergrad, I spent a couple months at 2-4 hours a day of 7sage and PTs while working full time as a legal secretary. I was scoring from 162-172 on PTs and almost rescheduled the lsat cuz I wasn’t consistently scoring 167+, but I went for it anyways. Got a 168. I had a 3.8+ gpa from a state school. Got into UT, Vanderbilt, and Georgetown, and waitlisted at almost all the rest of the t14 where I applied. Used Vandy and UT to negotiate a 30% scholarship at Georgetown. Didn’t get off any waitlists despite visiting and sending a lot of LOCIs. Not much WL movement that cycle.
Got a 3.3 gpa during 1L and then raised that to a 3.5 during fall 2L (pandemic OCI was during 2L), which with upperclass grade curve inflation is actually around median and OCI was pretty tough. I did get a big law job in NY. I’m from CA and hate the east coast but I didn’t bother trying to apply to CA firms. Thankfully my firm let me switch before the summer associate gig started. And I applied to be a visiting student at a CA school during 3L so I could move back to CA and settle down where I want to live after law school and 3LOL in warm weather at the beach.
I have like 190k in student loans to pay off including undergrad so I’m very thankful that online resources guided me to a job that can actually pay that off.
Law school kinda blows and in hindsight I would’ve just been a business major in undergrad and not gone to grad school. As an immigrant I didnt really have the resources and network and knowledge that a lot of students have to be able to use a bachelor’s to get a high paying job. I’m happy it all worked out for me cuz my goal was just job security and I feel I have that since I got into big law.
Hey. I started getting these pop up ads from last week. even though I am on Chrome, and have deleted internet explorer, I am getting these ads that I just can't get rid off. I have tried deleting some files from my laptop but the ads keep on coming back. I was wondering what would happen if an ad shows up during the actual LSAT test. I know that the proctor website requires me to close all unnecessary apps/windows, but what would happen if an ad pops up during my LSAT would I get disqualified or am I worrying too much.
Thanks.
How do you know if your request was approved or denied? I submitted the request on the 27th and don't see anything on LSAC to check the status of it.

Here I am, a day before taking my first official LSAT, finding out that I should have applied for Accommodations due to Fibromyalgia.
Lesson learned; certain rights and privileges are almost useless unless an individual is informed of their ability to exercise said rights and privileges.
Hoping others who need Accommodations won’t make the same mistake I did.
Good morning everyone :)
For those who have gotten from the low 170s to the high 170s in a few months, I would love to hear your strategies. I have cleared my summer so I can give 110% focus to the LSAT during June, July, and August, with the goal of applying at the beginning of the admissions cycle in September.
A little about me: I got a 154 diagnostic score in the spring of 2021. I studied the basics from June 2021 to October 2021, but burnt out because of work/school and took a four-month break. At this point, I was testing in the 165-168 range.
In February 2022, I registered for the April 2022 LSAT to motivate myself to get started again. I am a senior in college with a double major, so I studied as rigorously as I could while balancing other academic responsibilities. A few weeks ago, I PT'd at a 173 (174 BR) after reading Ellen Cassidy's LR Loophole workbook from cover to cover. Realizing that I wanted to jump from a 173 to 178+ in a matter of days, I got super panicked. My following PT was a 168 because my anxiety was so high. I came to terms with the fact that I'm not ready to test yet, withdrew from April, and now plan to take August.
I deal with chronic illness and have high levels of anxiety, plus sensory processing issues. So, things like self-care rituals and testing/studying environment really matter to me. What should I do with these next few months of my time?
To other folks in this community with anxiety/health issues, how do you manage them? The pressure is on for August since I'm applying in September and I want to make it count.
Thank you for your support!!!
Hi all,
I feel a little stressed, as I booked my second LSAT for tomorrow, and got more overwhelmed with school than I previously thought I would be.
I scored 159 on my first LSAT largely due to nerves and some test day mistakes. I am PTING from 164-165, but I am hoping to finish with a 166-167 range.
I feel pretty stressed, and want to feel ok about taking a third test if I need to, but I am not sure if it is work the risk. Anyone have any advice on this? if I do decide to take it again, I will practice all summer and see if I can make significant improvement.
[I am posting on behalf of a 7Sage user. Please feel free to leave your comments below. Thank you so much for your help!]
I have a question, do you think it would be beneficial to do all four sections on a prep test since the LSAT brought back the experimental section, or do you think I should stick with simulating the modern LSAT?
The LSAC recently announced that the registration for the August 2022 to June 2023 LSAT is currently scheduled to open on May 12, 2022.
Once registration for the 2022-2023 testing cycle opens, candidates will be able to register for any of the following test administrations:
August 2022
September 2022
October 2022
November 2022
January 2023
February 2023
April 2023
June 2023
Please visit the LSAC's website for more information regarding registration deadlines for each of these test administrations, as well as deadlines for requests for testing accommodations or testing assistance.
In an effort to assist test takers currently registered for the April administration of the LSAT who may wish to change their test date, the LSAC has extended the registration deadline for the June 2022 LSAT until Thursday, April 28, 2022 at 11:59 p.m. ET.
Test takers currently registered for the June LSAT who would prefer to switch to a future administration can withdraw from the June test and then re-register for the test of their choice once registration opens in May. If a test taker withdraws by Thursday, April 28 at 11:59 p.m. ET, they will receive a full refund of the June 2022 fee. If a test taker wishes to change their test date from June 2022 to a subsequent date after April 28, however, they will not receive a full refund and will be charged a test-date-change fee.
Given the expressed preference of the substantial majority of test takers, the LSAC will continue to provide the LSAT in an online, live remote-proctored format.

I was wondering if anyone knows whether we can take US tests even if we are physically located in other regions with different time zones? My initial thought would be: as long as we can match the time zone of the online proctor, there shouldn't be any issue?
Also, is there any difference in the test itself among different regions?
Appreciate it if anyone can input on this. Thanks!
I have come to a conclusion that with the test of LSAT, it is not about the content of writing but rather knowing the techniques of how to solve each question as fast as possible with minimal error. Could experts in this forum please elaborate more on some techniques that we could possibly learn?
Hello all!
Just curious about everyones experience with diagnostic, studying timeline, practice test average, and LSAT score. Also curious what it took you to get to that final score (or to where you are ready to take LSAT and have had consistent average).
Background: I am 32, a stay at home mom to a 1 year old and have just started my LSAT journey after postponing for so long. My study schedule is 5 am wakings to get in 1-2 hours before baby is up and I usually study during his naps, so I average around 2-4 hours per day (if I am lucky!). Weekends are all over, with mostly taking one day off to do everything else I need to do. I started 7sage in September of 2021, but only realistically started in February (life kept getting in the way). I am still working through the course, which is obviously not going as fast as I would like and was hoping I would be done for now.
How long, how often did you study before you took the leap and took the test? Where/when did you see the biggest improvement?
