Some questions if anyone can help!

How similar is the interface and format to 7sage in general and to the Standard Font option on pts? For instance can I hide the timer? Are all the buttons for underlining, flagging, etc. in the same spots?

During the 2 minute breaks, can I get up?

Can I sip coffee while I'm taking the test or only during the breaks?

Can I eat while I'm taking the test or only during the breaks?

During the 10 minute break, can I for instance go to another room in my house to get food or brew coffee? Are there things I can't do during the break?

Thanks!

Need Help

I'm restarting Logical Reasoning and need help on trying to get a consistent schedule of self studying to get to Reading Comprehension. I work full-time. Should I take notes again? I went through the foundations and still do not understand everything. I find that some of the diagraming work, but mostly unhelpful and confuses me. Most things are vague in the course or seem contradictory when reviewing answers. I assume I will get it later on when I go back. How often should I review the lessons and how long should I work on a section. I have not taken a PT since my diagnostic. I am not certain where I am percentage wise. I wanted to know how long I should drill before moving on to the next section of question types and how often. I should do the drilling plus blind review for it?

I signed up to take the April 2025 test with the target score of 165. Currently, the highest score I have been able to reach is a 160, though often times I can reach a 162 with blind review. This is after 4 months of studying and completing all of the 7sage material. With the window closing on paying a smaller fee for changing the dates, I cannot decide if I should take the test knowing I will likely score lower than my goal score or take it later when I am more confident and will only have to do the test once. Looking for any advice :)

Hello! I am new to 7sage and the LSAT! I was wondering if anyone had tips, stories about their journey, etc. that they would be willing to share. I also would love to connect with anyone else that is new and would be down to maybe study together / contact each other with questions or support each other. Good Luck to everyone! Thank you for reading

Drill function

Hi, I am wondering if there is a way to save more clean full PTs for future testing? The function currently can only create drills excluding PT151-158, I am wondering if there is a way to select specfic PT to exlude in order to create drills excluding more PTs.

Thank you.

Question Types

Hello! I'm just beginning my studies for the LSAT and was wondering if someone could give me a comprehensive list of all of the question types (broken down between LR and RC). I'm getting conflicting answers on the internet and just want to be clear. (Sorry, I'm sure there is somewhere on 7Sage that has this exact answer but I am still figuring out how to navigate the site.)

Also while I'm posting, I'm feeling pretty overwhelmed after looking at the syllabus. Should I expect to go through every module? I just am not sure the best way to study. Practice tests + syllabus? Finish the syllabus first before drills or practice test? Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

Hi all. I'm brand new to LSAT studying, and was immediately pointed toward 7sage.

I've seen so much about not wasting PTs, but I'm curious about "wasting" drilling questions. So far (for the two or so weeks I've been studying) I've been doing a 3-5 question LR warm up each day, just to get myself into study mode, thinking about the concepts, etc. But now I'm wondering if this is an unsustainable practice.

Does anyone do anything similar? Have you run into issues?

If not, do you do anything particular to focus yourself before diving into studying?

Hi all,

I have a question regarding my letters of recommendation. I work as a paralegal at a small law firm, for two partners (husband and wife) who work very closely with each other and myself on pretty much everything. When I asked them to write letters of recommendation for me, they suggested writing one letter together rather than two separate letters. I did some research and have read that this is not recommended. However, I also feel that two letters from each of them may turn out to be redundant.

I should also note that I've been out of college since 2021, so I feel I'd be too far removed to ask a professor for a letter.

Has anyone encountered this before? Any advice on how to go forward?

Thank you!

Logging In

Hi! I got logged out of my devices and couldn't log back in. I changed the Password, however, I'm permanently logged out of everything and it says that the new password is incorrect!!! I pay for a subscription, so I'm upset that I can't access it. What do I do?

I'm just going to be real.

This test will demoralize you and really shake your confidence in your own cognitive abilities and self-efficacy. Oftentimes, you'll be stuck because you aren't able to know what you don't know and spend weeks to months hustling backwards. If anyone is in a similar place and wants to give/receive encouragement, tips, and complain/vent, I hope you'll feel comfortable enough to text me at XXXXXXXXXX or message me. Studying for this test can be very isolating because only the people studying for this test have any concept of how difficult it is. No one gets it. One of the ways this test can break you down is by creating incredible amounts of self-doubt that didn't exist before, especially if you are traditionally a high performer. It is comforting to know that you aren't the only one crying and losing your shit, which is why I wanted to get in contact with people who want to be real about how this test has affected their self-concept. It's very possible to lose months to even years of your life studying for this test while making no gains, and losing tens of thousands of dollars through tutors (non 7sage) who charged exorbitant fees and didn't give you the foundations, enough structure, or could not accurately diagnose where you were going wrong in your practice. Being able to talk to other people who are in the trenches with you and who also have been thoroughly demoralized and/or financially ruined by predatory grifters who were ineffective/condescending teachers can help you feel less alone and less that it is a "you" problem while helping to up your morale and figure out a game plan, manage test anxiety, and avoid pitfalls that will eat away at your morale, savings, and self-efficacy. Let's learn from each other's mistakes.

This test is deeply classist and ableist and we should stop being collectively gaslit that our performance on this test is determined primarily by merit and effort versus being heavily dependent on financial resources, support, and connections. Giving everyone who is reading and relating to this a virtual hug. You are not a loser and you are not stupid. Your tenacity and resilience will ultimately be rewarded. Let's give each other the privilege of knowing.

Hi, all,

Let's give everyone some reassurance! I know there are times I need/want it which means there are possibly others out there who need and want it.

My initial, blind diagnostic was a 143. Since then I've gone up to a 146. Progress is progress.

Context: I just started my study journey. On day 9. It's going well, in my opinion, and I'm working very hard to not get discouraged for a few reasons. 1) As we've heard the LSAT is HARD. 2) I've only studied 9 days. 3) I've been out of school for nearly 6 years. May sound like excuses but the facts are the facts.

Any similar stories, or success stories of raising your score overtime? Let's help everyone out and put their nerves and emotions at ease! We know, after all, that we CAN do this. Despite it maybe not feeling that way a time or two. (Or more.)

Best way to study?

So my friend told me that the practice tests are the most important when it comes to succeeding with the LSAT. Is that true?

Wouldn’t it be to go through all the videos and understanding them more important?

Hi, I’m offering 4 free tutoring online sessions (1hr/wk) to 1-2 students who completed the core curriculum but PT scores are in plateau. I originally planned to do this to help someone in financial hardship, but anyone is welcome and you don’t need to prove anything!

I started with a diagnostic test score of 134 and ended with an official score of 164.

I had a hard time increasing my scores because I immediately started PTing without strong foundation after a month of study. Looking back, I should have focused more on basics, especially translation of stimulus and passages.

Thus, I’d like to teach LR & RC translation skills and some question tips. I’ll be using materials from old PT 40-50s.

Please reach out to me via chat if you are interested.

Early mornings like 7-8 AM EST work best for me and late night after 9 PM EST also works for me.

Thank you!

=========================================

Already two people reached out to me and we're talking, so I will let you all know again if it doesn't work out or there's vacancy.

RC Score Fluctuations

I'm pretty consistent in my LR sections, but my RC scores seem to fluctuate A LOT. Like, -2 in one PT and then -10 in the next. As a result, my overall PT scores are pretty inconsistent as well.

What is going on? Any tips/tricks to maintaining a more consistent RC score? Anyone else have a similar experience?

I've been using the videos for about a month, and I wanted to take the April LSAT. I have gotten the same score (mid 140s) on three different practice tests. I cannot finish a section on time, nor do I feel like I am fully grasping the concept. Are there features I'm not using, or should I just focus on drilling? Please help. I feel so discouraged!!!!!

Hey wassup Yall hope everyone's studying is going well! I wanted to post and see if there are people who would like to meet and start a study group? I plan on testing in April. Im up to meet in person or Zoom!

Hi. I'm having trouble finding the actual test questions. Every time I go to the preptest section all that comes up is a list of the tests, and when I click on one it only shows me the answer/bubble document but not the actual questions. Has anyone had a similar problem/know how to fix this?
