Hello everyone!
I just started my LSAT study journey as of March, and originally started on LawHub. After hearing a recommendation from a coworker who successfully passed the test, I’ve been coming here and adding mentally to the notes I physically wrote from my month on LawHub daily.
I have really enjoyed 7sage and their “just practice” account option, as a platform like this really helps me to hone in on what I need to work on, while still showcasing the early skills I do have (which always feels good). I have been wanting to further my connection here by subscribing, but I am unsure on the weight of the costs coupled with having to create an LSAC account and the bump to upfront funds due. Thankfully I work gainfully and could afford to upgrade with serious financial and budget awareness; however, I am torn. I understand that ultimately it’s better to subscribe to the program and start studying a lot more personalized for the best results, but I wanted to ask others first who may feel or felt the same.
Has anyone else in an extremely tight financial situation took the leap of faith by subscribing to 7Sage monthly? Do you have any words of encouragement or wisdom in maintaining a budget with a commitment like this?
I am 3 weeks away from completing the learning portion of 7Sage, so I went back to some older lessons to refine some concepts I'm a little shaky on- thus I came across a few newly embedded adaptive drilling. LOL they are actually a nightmare for me!
I drill pretty religiously and never delete my analytics. Most of my drills are randomized questions and not PT's, and 7sage saw allllll my flaws. This is soooo much better than drilling question types for me because most lot of my wrong-answer choices come from misreading an answer choice or forgetting the stimulus while going over the answer choices. I don't know how adaptive drilling knows this- but I've been met with those questions pretty consistently. This is pretty amazing and I am hoping that I can improve soon!
I had to take some time off from studying due to a concussion and when I came back a bunch of my lessons which I had previously completed had lessons that were not incomplete in them. A lot of these lessons were drills. I am unsure if I somehow overlooked these when I was studying or if this a feature of the study plan. Does anyone know if this is intentional or if my study plan is just glitching?
I recently started studying for the LSAT, and I feel behind and like I don't have a sense of direction. I have been following along with the 7Sage study plan that they have created for me, and I am currently still in the foundations section of the plan. I feel like maybe I should be drilling or doing some form of practice tests, but I also don't want to study the incorrect way.
What does everyone recommend? I do not have a set time that I want to take the LSAT, and I work a full-time 9-5, so I am unable to study 4 hours a day like I have read some people do. I unfortunately do not have a lot of law connections, so this whole process is sort of daunting.
Any help/recommendations would be great. I am trying not to get discouraged.
Thank you!!
When I go to click on my LR practice block for today, it is not loading. It, instead, pops up as "internal service error." How do I fix this issue?
For those of us just starting to look into joining the legal profession, this is a real fear and concern. Would like to hear the opinion of tutors, practicing attorneys, etc that are seeing how things are changing in today's age.
Does anyone else spend the whole day studying just to finish off a Practice Section horribly and then rage quit for the rest of the night 😭 lol

Hi everyone, I'm just getting started with 7sage. How do you guys use the learning modules (the core curriculum) to study? It doesn't seem efficient to take notes on it all, but I also don't feel like I'm retaining anything. Thanks!
Hi everyone, I’m working through the Foundations module and I’m hitting a wall with chaining conditionals. I understand how to diagram individual sentences (using the G1, G2, G3 rules), but I’m confused on the "glue" that connects them.
Specifically, I’m struggling with:
How do I know which brick goes "first" in the chain if the stimulus doesn't present them in order?
If I have one brick that is positive (A -> B) and another that is negative (/A -> C), I know I need to flip one to make them match, but I’m struggling to see why or how to pick which one to flip.
For example, with the Wizard/9th-level spell drill, I could diagram the parts, but I couldn't figure out how to bridge the "Not 9th-level" sentence into the main chain.
Does anyone have a specific "checklist" or a different technique they use to decide when to take a contrapositive to force a chain to connect? Below is how I worked through the question if it helps with my question!
Wizards that cast ninth-level spells command a great deal of magical energy. Only wizards who possess extensive training in the arcane can control such magical energy. Spellcasters who can’t cast ninth-level spells still have more to learn.
heres my work: I don’t see an indicator word here, im tempted to put great deal of energy on the left but im gonna take the wizards part to be ALL and use that as a sufficient for G1 SO: FIRST BRICK: W Cast 9 level spells -> great deal of energy
Only is g2 necessary so SECOND BRICK: Can control such energy -> Wizards who posses extensive training in arcane.
It says that if they cant cast ninth level spells so that cant makes it a / so
Conclusion: /Ninth level spells - > Still have more to learn
So all together: W Cast 9 level spells -> great deal of energy, Can control such energy -> Wizards who posses extensive training in arcane. /Ninth level spells - > Still have more to learn
Chained its: W Cast 9 level spells -> great deal of energy -> wizards who possess extensive training -> /still have more to learn.
I know its wrong but im so confused...
I am taking the writing section today with the goal of taking my first official exam this Saturday, which I am quite nervous about. What should I expect for the writing section? I know its 50 minutes, with 15 being preparation and 35 being writing time. I majored in English and History in undergrad so I am familiar with writing papers, albeit with a far wider timeframe than the one we receive. Does anyone have any last minute tips?
Thank you!
We've built a new scholarship predictor to pair with our admissions predictor! The feature is still in beta, so tell us what you think in the comments.
If you've already received scholarship offers, I encourage you to add your results, link to your profile, and tell us how the scholarship predictor did. The more results we see, the more we can improve this feature.
Try the scholarship predictor now.
May you all get high scores and big scholarships!
If I have a question about a certain topic, how do I find the comments or speak with other users about the video on my study plan? I see forums for study tests but I'm not on any study tests and this has to do with the lessons. Is there some chat room or something for people studying to speak with each other and support each other? I use 7 sage on both the computer and iPad, and neither are really intuitive to navigate for me. Any tips?
Hi everyone. Studying law is something that I've always wanted to do. I have a few family and friends that are attorneys and always enjoy discussions with them, both in general and about the law that they practice. It's always been an attractive career to me; however, I went to school for computer science and am currently a software engineer.
While I do love that job as well, I don't know that it will be my forever career, and I have been looking to make a career change into other fields that interest me, while retaining software engineering as just a hobby. Hobby programming is when I enjoy it the most anyway.
However, at this point in my life, I'm five years out of college. I started college two years late, and did a 4 year degree, so I'm almost 30 years old now. I may be able to do complete law school in three years, but in order to keep working at least part-time to support my family, I may need to do a four-year evening program at my local college's law school. If I study for the LSAT and start school next year (Fall '27), I would be done in 2031, at 35 years old. I'm all for it, but want to be practical. If this is a fool's errand, I'd like to at least know before I get started.
This is something I really want to do, and if I had no other concerns, I would just quit my job and get into the best 3-year law school I could and just enjoy it. With other responsibilities, I'm wondering though if this is even feasible. If anyone here has done something similar or if they know someone who's done something similar and made it work, would love to hear about that experience.
For what its worth, I'm historically a pretty strong (though unapplied) student and learner in general, although I can definitely tell I'm not as sharp as I was 5+ years ago :( But thats just to say I don't have pre-existing struggles with academics that would hinder me further in this.

Hey friends, I’m going to get a little personal here for a second.
I believe that I may have some undiagnosed ADHD. I really struggle with truly dedicating time and brain power to studying for the LSAT which really sucks because I truly want to be a lawyer, more than anything in the world. I find the test to be very daunting and large, so I feel rather unmotivated to tackle training for this thing, even though I know I need to. It’s easy to sit here and say, “I just need to lock in” because, even though I say that, I feel like I can’t make my brain/body actually do it. I also feel like this translates to other things in my life. It also sucks because like, I realize this about myself, but feel like I can’t escape it. I also notice other things like high-strung energy and feeling like I can’t focus on certain things without having this overall dread of overthinking what I’m doing to the point of forgetting or not being able to explain what I’m doing. I feel like I’m in constant brain fog.
My question is: Is there anyone out there who started practicing and studying before being diagnosed with ADHD and then went through the diagnosis process and then afterwords, noticed major upward changes in the results? If so, how did you go about it, and do you think it made THAT much of a difference?
If you respond, thanks for getting personal with your ADHD diagnosis!
Hey guys, I got a serious question:
So I was thinking about either taking the June or August LSAT (planning on taking either one in-person). I was wondering if the test center will allow me to show up wearing a full 2018 Lebron James game fit (jersey, compression tank, shorts, shoes, literally everything that my glorious king would wear).
I am trying to get into Lawschool. I am 31 years old and have a decent work resume in infectious disease research. My GPA is 3.59. I probably will score between 160 and 165 on my exam this week. Below is every practice exam I ever took. Think it's worth it to take again in June before applying to law schools? I want to raise my LSAT score as much as possible to override my not so great GPA and to get as much scholarship poetntial as possible. I live in NYC and want to go to Fordham or St Johns. I want to work full time through it but I guess that's another story. My true was goal was to get 166+ on my LSAT.
Hi there! I am taking the LSAT for the first time next Friday, the 9th. I am treating it as a practice exam to create a baseline score for my June exam.
I am looking for a flexible tutor who can work with me and my busy schedule. I work a 9-5 and my study times vary, but I always take at least an hour to two a day, uninterrupted for studying.
I started studying in January, and had a 138 diagnostic. I am currently scoring in the 155-159 range, but want a 165 on the exam in June. Tutoring would hopefully follow my April exam and have a more concrete number to work with.
I have been going through the Foundations portion of the Lesson Plans, and was on the section of Necessary and Sufficient indicators. I did notice that one of the lessons said that if we are practicing these, we are eventually going to become natural with these if we have months of practice. However, if we are on a time crunch and have 1 month or so, and are already scoring low 150s, what area is more beneficial to focus on mastering in order to achieve maybe 5-10 points more?
Anywhere you see a tag on the website, hover over it for more information! Handy dandy!
Also, we've added a ton of tags for common flaws like ad hominem arguments and false dichotomies! Dandy handy!
Shoot us any ideas you have for what information you'd like to see in these tooltips.
If I opt in to make monthly payments for tutoring hours, is there an option to pay off the remaining balance early?
I am reading the Economist to study for law school, as someone here or on reddit had mentioned it as a good way to learn how to write in law school. I am wondering if it is also good for reading comprehension. If so, does anyone have any tips for how to study using The Economist?
For example, I am currently thinking of reading an article, then summarizing the main points of the article and the conclusion, and as an extra step, try to state my own opinion on the article. Let me know your thoughts in the comments. TIA
So I was at the AAC for the Mavs game and I saw this on the jumbotron. Do you guys think this is a sign?
