I am stuck

I have taken the LSAT 3 times after studying consistently and stayed around mid 140s. Truly I have been embarrassed to even post that this is where I am stuck but I plan to take the April LSAT and still haven't seen any improvement after studying full time since beginning of January. I am not entirely opposed to tutoring but really want to do it on my own because it is just too expensive. I have changed my studying techniques after doing research and asking for other peoples way to study but I still feel like I am not improving. If anyone has any advice I would greatly appreciate it.

On my last 5 practice tests, I've scored 176, 169, 166, 174, and 168 (least to most recent). Basically, I haven't really seen consistent improvement, and it's been hard for me to break out of the high 160s.

  • not feeling mentally refreshed after the 10 minute break (I consistently perform worse in the last two sections)
  • timing issues
  • Does anyone have tips on how to make the most of the 10 minute break and/or build stamina? I need to score 170+ on my April exam. Thanks!

    Hello Fellow 7Sager's I need some advice. I have just completed the foundations part of the curriculum and before moving on I thought id ask this. There are some concepts that I feel like I am still spotty on. Things like drawing conditional logic with the indicator words and the 4 main groups is one that sticks out. Should I gain mastery of these things and others before moving on to the logical reasoning section? Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

    as a first-gen, I am having trouble deciphering if it'd be less "bad" to keep my most recent Jan score that's three points lower than my first one in November (155) due to being out of the country for ~3 weeks before taking my Jan exam. I did not have a set schedule and did not have reliable internet for about 1.5 weeks so it was nearly impossible. I did not want to push it back and I guess that is the result I was expecting. But, I don't know if I should cancel or keep it since it is only 3 points. I only plan on re-taking it once more. Would be the "better" option: to keep and have schools see that I went down a few points or cancelling it and have them assume something like that I scored a lot worse? I truly am having a hard time knowing what to go with. It'd be my first cancelation of score.

    I am about a sixth of the way done with the curriculum, a little over half way done with the foundations. I am curious if i should be starting the drills. I have started doing some drills related to the foundations lessons I've completed, although these drill questions are harder than the example ones at the end of lessons and I am getting a lot wrong. While I am concerned, should I wait to be doing these drills until I have more of the core curriculum done?

    146->155

    Well I got my score back today and for the first time taking the official LSAT I received a 155. While I’m disappointed a bit because I was scoring in the 156-160 range on my PTs, I’m still proud of how much I have progressed from my diagnostic, and maybe I’ll take the test again this Fall and focus on my weak areas.

    150->173

    I'd like to start off by thanking the folks here at 7Sage. I initially started off with a 150 diagnostic, then a 158, then a 168, and now I am sitting here with a 173. I have been a tutor for 3 years and taught standardized testing myself to kids, but J.Y.'s commentaries and lessons here are fruitful in their straightforward, candid, and common-sense simplicity. It's thanks to him that I owe him this immense score and the beginning of my law school journey.

    So I started at a 151 on the timed diagnostic LSAT, and I'm hoping to hit in the 163-167 range on the LSAT. I'm planning on taking both the July and September LSAT's (might as well right?) and I've been studying for over a month now. I feel more confident for sure -- I'm just finishing up LR and I'm missing on average about 3-5 questions per LR section now instead of starting off missing 11 questions on the diagnostic. Did anyone start like me, and what's your success story with 7Sage? Everytime I read a success story it gives me a huge confidence boost that I'm doing the right thing, and I'm sure there are a lot of other people who feel the same way. Post away! (If you want).

    Hello,

    I dropped by 2 points the second time I took my LSAT. Neither score are ones I am happy with, idealing wanting to jump at least 8 points. Should I risk taking a third time? What if I get even worse the third time around or they see three rounds of no improvement? Not sure what to do!

    Hey guys, I just made my account and started studying for the lsats and I'm a little lost. I plan on taking the test either late this year or early next year, can I get some tips or advice to make my studying easier please? Thanks!

    Hi hi!

    It is officially the last week of the February 2025 LSAT and I have been receiving mixed advices of what to do in this last week. Some say do around 2 timed sections per day and don't do anything the day before the test, and some other say keep it chill, do at most one section per day or drills, don't do too much.

    I am kinda lost, and I don't really know what is "too much" or "too little," so I would appreciate any advices, thoughts, or past experience on this. Thank you and good luck to whoever is taking it this month!!!

    Hi everyone- I am currently going through the foundation section of the curriculum and I am now under the Conditional and Set Logic portion. Is it necessary going through the entire foundation curriculum before going into LR. Since there is so many question types in LR I was hoping to learn a new LR type each Monday and focus heavy on identifying the question type, breaking it down and answering it.

    Am I wasting time? It has been very helpful but I wanted to know if you all went straight through it or bounced around... for time purposes. I am hoping to take the test in April, but may push back to June.

    Hello,

    I was wondering if I should blind review my first test? I'm not really familiar with anything in the LSAT yet nor do I fully know what blind reviewing is so I'm just wondering on if I should do it for my diagnostic!

    Hi! I understand the value in drilling to learn concepts, but I am also big on following the lessons in the course syllabus. Wondering how other people use both in their study plan? I am a bit confused by how the drills section is set up... I am wondering if it is because I am just getting to the "grammar" section of the course? Will I understand how to select those better once I have covered more of the lessons? Open to any help or suggestions :) Thank you!

    Hi,

    I took the lsat back in November and completed the writing section then. It was approved. I'm taking the lsat again in February and am wondering if it's at all worthwhile to do the writing section again? I know you're only required to have one take, but I'm wondering if having 2 submitted writing sections would somehow be helpful for admissions? Like providing them with 2 writing samples instead of 1? Not sure what my best move is here, I appreciate any thoughts!

    Thank you!
