I would like to automatically include the practice questions we are given in the core curriculum into my analytics but I can't see to find anyway to do that except by manually unselecting the toggle on each question that says don't include in analytics. Any easier way of doing this?
Hello everyone! I just wanted to share how important the foundations unit is. When I first started studying about a year(ish) ago, I looked over the foundations unit thinking how it all was just common sense. The conditional logic section seemed so unimportant and even the grammar unit felt pointless. So... I skipped it. BUT, I can guarantee you that it's not pointless. Ever since I really dived into the foundations unit and started taking it seriously, I'm getting way more questions right. I'm getting the questions right which I used to get wrong all the time!!!
I guess this is all just to say that don't skip the foundations.
I know it might seem like a waste of time and we feel like our time would be better spent learning the question types, but everything which is in the foundations unit builds up to what we need in order to succeed in the LR and RC sections. So pleaseee, don't skip this and don't make the same mistake I did.
I don't know if it is just me, but my account is not letting me set the time for drills, e.g., (+150%,+200%, or untimed), and I'm not allowed to choose whether to show the answer or not right after a question in drills.
Edit: This is happening in my smart drill by analytics section
Hello, How long it took you to build stamina enough so you sit for entire PT comfortably, because I am sleepy after second section or max third... any suggestions? ( even though I slept well, just tiring and losing the focus)
thanks
A lot of the time during my lectures I'll do quick drills on my priority tags for like 5 questions/drill, unlimited time (because I often have to stop when my prof starts saying something important), etc. However, now when I press "drill", it takes me into a drill with 12 questions, timed. Is there a way to fix this?
Hey everyone! I've been a longtime discussion board lurker, but this is my first time posting for advice, so here goes...
For context, I started studying about 16 months ago, and I'd say I've done a good job staying consistent throughout that period while also working full-time. My diagnostic was a 158 in Dec 2024, and, since then, I have worked my way up to an average in the 170s using 7Sage.
I took the official test for the first time in October 2024 when I was averaging about 170, but I scored a 165. I retook in November and matched my 170 average. I was pleased with my Nov score and the hard work that went into it, but I ultimately kept studying for February.
I felt like I was making a lot of progress and seeing consistency in the weeks leading up to the exam: my PTs directly before were 170, 175, 177, 179 (the ones before that were retakes so I don't count those as reflective for score diagnostic purposes).
I felt confident going into test day, but I ultimately ended up with a 171. I am glad I improved, and I know this is a great score, but I can't help but feel disappointed, as I feel like my PTs leading up to test day indicate that I am capable of more.
To note, I was careful to take these PTs in accordance with true timing/break requirements, and I tried to make my physical PT environment/routine as close as possible to test day. I also very much tried to prioritize wellness in the month leading up to the test (sleep/food/cutting drinking etc). There is nothing I can put my finger on externally that I think would've been a huge game changer in that respect. I also BR/WAJ in depth after drills and PTs.
So, that brings me to my ultimate question: should I retake for a fourth time?
My ultimate goal has always been somewhere in the 173-175 range (dreaming big for T-14), and I want to get there, but I am worried because I have heard that after 3 LSAT attempts law schools might begin to be critical of additional takes. Does the risk outweigh the reward?
Grateful for any advice from fellow studiers and LSAT legends alike (summoning the greats @J.Y.Ping & @KevinLin with a ouija logic game board lol).
Hello! Since it’s obviously impossible to attend every live class from every tutor, how do you usually choose which classes to attend when planning your schedule? Also, do you have a favorite tutor you like and why, because I found them all are very good, just can't attend all classes
hello, do you know where is located ask a tutor button? I hear it a lot on podcasts from 7sage, but can't find it
Seems kind of predatory!
Is there a calendar link that I can put directly into my Google Calendar to save all upcoming Live Classes instead of having to add them manually one by one? I had it on my calendar from the previous website but it stopped updated this month. If anyone has any info please let me know, thanks so much!
Is anyone else who is doing the core curriculum drill questions experiencing a glitch with the timing result? The blind review will say that I spent more than twice the target time on a question, but then the results shows me that I spent 0 seconds on it? Is there any way to fix this?
Is there a place on this platform where there are articles or videos specifically about test-taking strategies like whether we should answer all the questions in the order in which they appear, whether we should skip some and leave them for the end, and if so, which ones, and other similar topics?
I am a non-traditional (old) student who is taking the LSAT for the 3rd time. (first- 158- was in 2009, second - 153- in October, and third will be in January - hoping for at least 162). After the October test, I signed up for 7sage and really like the curriculum so far. However, four hours a day is a lot for me, between kids and work. I was surprised when the study plan was formulated that it does not include any of the available drills, or recorded classes. How do those of you who work in addition to studying for the LSAT fit in any of the extra content? Should I prioritize any of it outside of the study plan? It looks like the study plan doesn't have a practice test until two weeks before the actual test. Should I fit one or two additional practice tests in as well? All input welcome. Thank you!
Took the February LSAT and got a 155. I'm pretty disappointed by that. My diagnostic test in December was a 152, and I took 7 more practice tests, and each time I did better than the time before, with one exception. eventually i got a 160 and my highest was a 163, which was my second to last practice test before the LSAT. Then my last pt was the worst I ever did. I got a 151, worse than my diagnostic test!
It just feels bad that I "crashed" like that. Each time I started a pt, I was very scared to start it because I was afraid of doing worse on it than the ones before but then it became real. When I first started studying i told myself no pressure and that I would be happy with any score as long as it would get me into any law school, even without a scholarship. That's what I was suggested by a couple of lawyers. But once I started doing better, I started getting competitive and greedy and wanting to go to more prestigious schools and I was comparing myself to my tutor, who got a 180. I've never done particularly well in school. I also have adhd and was always a 60s, 70s, 80s student, but my tutor said he was like me and got a 180 and went to NYU.
I am registered to take the lsat again in April but now I'm more scared to study for this test than I was before because now the expectations are higher. Im also going crazy because I'm not working now and I'm all by myself and in my head like a hermit. Any tips for studying and not feeling so meh about myself?
I managed 80% drill accuracy in LR Link Assumption tags at 3 and 4 star difficulty.
Not bragging. Very proud moment because this is one of my weaker areas.
I did it while feeding my newborn daughter haha.
Where the dads at in here!?
Hi - My question is whether or not it makes sense to retake the LSAT in April (if I can improve) as a potential tool for getting off of a waitlist (in addition to LOCIs)? I know nothing is guaranteed, but if it could help me get off reserve and accepted, prepping is worth it, but I don't want to do it for nothing. If anyone has any experience with retaking the LSAT as a waitlist tool or any advice, please let me know!!
I have a 163 from the October and November tests last fall. My score didn't change between tests even though it had drastically in prep - I only started 7sage after the October test. I applied with that 163 this cycle. I got waitlisted (reserve list) at Cornell, which is my first choice school. My BR pts had hit 17mid and my official lawhub practice tests well above 163. Honestly the idea of retaking it makes me nauseated, but I do confidently believe I could do better than a 163 on test day after the past few months of a break from the LSAT and applications.
Follow up question: Would the schools I have yet to hear back from see my April LSAT registration? Is there a risk they might put my application to the side as a hold for a future test this late in the game, and is best practice to email all 12 schools I haven't heard from to say don't hold, or is that unnecessary? Pretty much every single remaining application is currently under review (I applied in December), so I don't know if I should call attention to it, but I certainly don't want to delay my decisions through the end of April!
Thanks!
Hey all,
I was thinking of writing a gpa addendum. My gpa isn’t low at all, but it is below medians for my dream schools. The thing is, I do have a concrete reason why my gpa is lower (disability). I fear it will look weird to have an addendum with my gpa, but I’ve also heard that if you have a clear reason, you should mention it. Thoughts?
Hi everyone! I’m curious how many hours you all study per day and what your weekly study schedules look like. I’m trying to structure my own plan as effectively as possible. For context, I’m currently not in school or working, so I’m able to study full-time.
Am I crazy or we can no longer see our 7sage activity ie. how many questions we have been answering each day. Just a few days ago the bar graph showing how many questions and whether they were RC or LR- was available and now I cannot find it.
Hey I've been using 7Sage for half years. It's currently tax report season in Canada. I'm wondering if there's T2202 provided?

I'm wrapping the 2025-26 admissions cycle and wanted to make this post for anyone considering committing to using 7Sage going forward:
After receiving several T-14 acceptances this cycle, with scholarships, I'm confident in saying that 7Sage is the best broad spectrum resource available to applicants. The core curriculum and drilling features took me into the mid 170s on the LSAT; the writing advice helped me craft compelling narratives for why I want to practice law and what unique perspectives I bring to the legal world--specifically mentioned as strengths by an admissions officer; above all else, the thoroughness of the lessons, covering the LSAT and admissions and post-acceptances, ensured I never felt blindsided by any occurrence throughout the cycle. From start to finish, I've relied exclusively on 7Sage.
I'm confident that 7Sage can take you from start to finish no matter your goals. And I would be happy to answer any questions if anyone has them.
When I’m working on a section, all of the question numbers are marked dark green at the bottom of the page, indicating I answered all of the questions. But when I submit it, it says I haven’t answered one or two questions. The same happened with an RC drill. I submitted a drill after checking everything’s marked, and then it said I omitted an answer for one question. I marked it again in the blind review, but my answer wasn’t registered again, showing that I didn’t answer the question for both drill and blind review.
This never happened to me until today. Anyone experiencing the same problem today?
Hello! I am not sure this is the right place to ask but I need to solve this asap.
A couple of months ago I used my old email to create a 7sage account. I also bought the monthly plan linked to my lawhub. Now I'm back to LSAT so I decided to go with 7sage again. However, this time I used my new email and I was unable to try to link the coach to my lawhub. The error messaged stated that the "coach was already assigned to this user" but I could not access 7sage materials.
Anybody having idea how to solve this? Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance!
Admin note:

If you have another 7Sage account already linked to your LSAC Prep Plus subscription, this is most likely the cause of the issue. To resolve this, please make sure you are using the 7Sage account that is already linked to your LSAC Prep Plus subscription/Lawhub account.

Lately I've found myself in a bit of a slump; I've been studying for the LSAT for about a year and a half and I've taken three total tests in that time. The past three times didn't go so well, so I find myself grinding to do better for the fourth time. It can be very frustrating not seeing the results despite whatever work you've put in, and it gets harder every day to find reasons to stay in the fight. So I wanted to drop something here that I like to think about that helps put things into perspective:
When the Milwaukee Bucks were eliminated in the first round by the Pacers during the 2022-23 season, Giannis Antetokounmpo was asked if he saw this season "as a failure." To answer the question, he asked if Michael Jordan's nine seasons where he didn't win a championship would be considered a failure. A little parallel reasoning there, right? Not a lot of people reminisce about the seasons when Jordan lost - they extol the six seasons when he won. So to sum up the question, the Bucks 2022-23 season wasn't a failure - it is simply a step toward success. For every game lost, every playoff series missed, and every playoff exit, there's always an opportunity to learn from it and grow for the next season.
So what does this have to do with the LSAT?
The same principle can be applied. Did I fail because I scored a 148 on my diagnostic a year and a half ago? Did I fail because I scored a 153 on my first official test? Did I fail because I didn't like the next two tests? Did I necessarily fail at anything, or did I simply just take steps closer and closer to a win?
We will all have good days and bad days - days where we will all find success and days where it's simply not our turn yet. It can be very frustrating to not see positive results and it can be even more tiring to try and stay in the fight, especially after a year. But one thing that I've learned that has helped me with my perspective on things is to understand that you will face adversity in order for you to succeed. So wherever you are at with your journey, remember that there is no such thing as failure - only steps to success.
"There is no failure in sports." - Giannis Antetokounmpo
