Hey all! Quick question: I am writing the June LSAT and my argumentative writing section opens on May 27th. I am wondering if the section can be completed at any time of the day. So in other words, is it time specific in any way? I am thinking of doing it at night so that it's extra quiet at my house. TIA!

I took PT 145 and halfway through the first section I dc from wifi and it submitted the first section. The next three sections had no issues and I completed them. I went back in blind review and set a timer and finished the first section. How do I get access to a new test so I can plug in my original answers then do a proper Blind review. I want to know my original and BR score but obviously that wont work now. Any advice would be helpful, thanks.

Are the prep tests on 7 Sage different than the ones on Law Hub?

We'll be upgrading our service provider early Thursday morning, April 17. The site will be unavailable during:

• Eastern Time: 4:00am-7:00am ET

• Pacific Time: 1:00am-4:00am PT

Please avoid starting a PrepTest or Problem Set close to this period to prevent disruption. We apologize for any inconvenience!

I noticed that the LSAT August 2025 dates specify "Region: United States (including Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands) and Canada." Does this mean that there are no online options for international takers either? Sorry for the basic question, apologies if this isn't the place for it.

Does anyone have a wrong answer journal sample they can share for LR & RC and explain how they incorporate it in their studies?

I take the LSAT with paper and pencil, not online. I'm not new to the test but I am new to 7Sage. I would like to take prep tests as real as the actual test is, so would need to take it on paper. Is there a way to print the prep tests?

On the lessons with video, I have been watching the video only. The text underneath seems like the same exact content, only with different wording. Am I missing out on anything if on the video lessons I only watch the videos?

I wanted to take a moment to really shout out tutor and course instructor James Marmaduke for going above and beyond. Through a twist of fate, I ended up registered for his Feb 2025 advanced LSAT course and he genuinely cares about each and every one of his students. From my personal experience, especially if you are very self-accountable, I can truly say that a class with James would be worth investing in. As I sat through our first weekly check-in, I was surprised at how much he actually cared about my overall LSAT journey and how obvious that this was more than just a job for him. Also sending much thanks and appreciation to Thomas Langmuir for his patience and support in making this happen in the first place!

Here is an LR Cheat Sheet I derived quite a while ago. I hope it helps some of you out there.

Best of luck to all!

LR Question Type Cheat Sheet

Inference Questions (Must Be True)

General:

• Requires you to select the answer choice that can be proven by the information presented in the stimulus.

• Pre-phrasing answer choices is often difficult

• Correct answer choices tend to be conservative and free of “load-bearing” language

• Often the stimulus is a fact set and not an argument

Correct Answer Types:

• Paraphrased answers: are answers that restate a portion of the stimulus (at times easy to miss b/c stated in different language than the stimulus)

• Combination answers: answers that result from combining two or more statements in the stimulus

Incorrect Answer Types:

• Could be true answers: are attractive b/c they could be true, but are nevertheless incorrect b/c they do not HAVE to be true

• Extreme answers: are exaggerated answers that are too extreme to be supported by the information presented in the stimulus

• New information: answer choices that bring in new information without warrant (make sure it is not the result of combining two or more statements which would make it the right answer)

• Opposite answers: answers that are completely opposite from the information presented in the stimulus

• Shell Game: vey subtle shift in concept or term that makes the answer choice slightly incorrect (Alex is greedy therefore Alex is mean: greedy and mean are not the same thing despite being similar)

• Reverse answer: answer choice will reverse the relationship of two key terms

Weaken Questions

General:

• Stimulus will almost always contain an argument

• Understand the structure of the argument to gain perspective necessary to attack the author’s position (reasoning errors are usually present)

• Weaken questions often yield strong pre-phrases

• Correct answers rarely attack the premises, rather they almost always show that the conclusion does not necessarily follow from the premises (that is to say, the answers will attack the relationship between the premises and the conclusion made by the author)

• When you have conditional reasoning in the stimulus and a Weaken question, immediately look for an answer that attacks the necessary condition (show that the necessary condition does not need to occur in order for the sufficient condition to occur)

Correct Answer Types:

• Incomplete information: the author fails to consider all of the possibilities or relies upon evidence that is incomplete

• Improper comparison: the author tries to compare two or more elements that are essentially different

• Qualified conclusion: The author qualifies or limits the conclusion in such a way as to leave the argument open to attack

Incorrect Answer Types:

• Opposite answers: answer choices that actually strengthen the argument (tempting because it relates perfectly to the argument but in the opposite way needed to be correct)

• Shell game answers

• Out of scope answer choices

Hey guys,

I am trying to log into my LSAC account and it isn't letting me. I tried resetting my password and that didn't work. I've also tried to call tech support and it hangs up saying "Line is busy." Would appreciate any help!

I’ve been consistently scoring in the high 160s, and am looking to solidly make it into the 170s by the June test date. I’ve found on my last 3 PTs, I would’ve gotten 172-173 but switched some of my answers from the right choices to the wrong ones at the last second (second guessing myself). Any tips?

I keep running into a problem where I miss questions on my practice tests mainly when my mind starts to wander and/or I start to lose focus for other reasons. Does anyone have any tips for avoiding this? Not too too worried about changing my practice test environment, but I AM worried about staying focused on test day!

Also on this vein, what do people eat the morning-of test day (and during the break) to boost energy and stay focused?

Thank you so much — seriously appreciate any and all advice on this:))

Hey all! I'm definitely overthinking this - what room did you take your remote LSAT in? How picky are the proctors about room type? I plan to use a dining room with artwork on the walls, and two doorways with no doors on them. No one else will be home the day of my test. Is this allowed? There are windows, but they have blinds that can be shut.

Hello everyone just finished LR in the CC. I feel like I have a really good understanding of the LR material and exactly what im supposed to be doing for every question type. Even took an untimed section just to solidify this, missed a few and was confused but reviewed and went a revisited some concepts. Now I am on to the reading comp section and need some tips. I don't want to do all the reading comp and have this LR loose steam or forget stuff. Should I be doing weekly drills with LR? also don't want to go through to much material? any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Should I always be reading all of the answer choices? There are some questions in both logical reasoning and reading comp where I see one of the first answer choices and feel like that has to be the right answer. However, sometimes I end up finding a better answer or one that makes me question whether or not it is the right answer. Other times, it turns out that is the right answer, and then I think about how I wasted 10-30 seconds. I struggle to finish the test in time, and sometimes I don't get to answer all the questions, and I have to guess. Is it worth it to just go with it and risk it being wrong? This might give me some extra time on harder questions/ to finish the test. But statistically, does this approach work? Or is it better to take a little longer to guarantee I got the question right?

I will be trying this approach and using the Blind review to see if the odds are worth it, but I want to know if that's a waste of time.

TLDR:

The first time I took the LSAT (my diagnostic test) I literally scored a 45. No, you didn’t read that wrong, no it wasn’t a 145, quite literally it was 45. For reference I have never done well at standardized tests, (I'm both dyslexic and have ADHD) I did so embarrassingly bad on the SAT that I didn’t send my scores to universities. But after religiously studying with the 7sage curriculum and receiving the accommodations I desperately needed, I was able to earn a 145 on my second exam roughly four months after my diagnostic! While it was a significant improvement, it wasn’t anywhere near where I wanted to be. I wanted a 170.

I knew that the higher the score I received the more scholarships I could potentially get. I’m an immigrant and first generation college graduate and knew my parents wouldn’t be able to help me financially during law school. I also knew I wanted to go into civil rights work, so I couldn’t rely on any big law money to pay off loans. So I got to work GRINDING on studying for this test.

I worked full time at a law office and every night after work I would come home and study for 2-3 hours each night, except for Fridays which were my rest days. I would take a practice test Saturday mornings and spend Sundays reviewing the results. My mindset for this exam was it is a marathon, not a sprint. I would still go out and have fun with my friends on Saturday nights but instead of drinking tequila sodas like everyone else, I was drinking seltzer water with lemon because I knew I had to be up the next day to study. For an entire year I was primarily sober at parties and events, and still had a great time!

I started studying in January 2023, convinced that I could pull my score up to at least the high 160s by August, and boy was I delusional. I’m sure others would be able to do that, but I most certainly was not. I decided to defer applying for a year to get my score up. I ended up scoring a 161 on the November LSAT. While it wasn’t my dream score and I knew I would have to take the test again, I was still INCREDIBLY proud of myself. Up to that point I had been scoring in the high 150s, so this was a major win. You need to celebrate the small wins along the way.

I used my law firm bonus to pay for tutoring through 7Sage and it was some of the best money I ever spent. They helped me break down what I was missing and I began scoring in the high 160s and had my first 170! I was signed up for the April 2024 LSAT ready to absolutely crush it, and then got laid off from my law firm job (rip) two weeks beforehand. I ended up choking on the test and got a 163. While happy my score had gone up, I was devaaaaastated it didn’t reflect my practice tests. I decided to take a break from studying and took two months off because I was burned out. I started studying again in June 2024 while starting to write my applications and took the September LSAT scoring a 168 in the 95 percentile!

While I had scored higher on practice tests before (I only got to that 170 once) I was still so unbelievably proud of myself because I knew I had given this test everything I could have. I sent out my applications this past fall and am eagerly waiting to hear back from schools (3(/p)

Hey all! I have recently joined the course and I finished the Grammar section in the syllabus today. I am wondering if this is a good time to start doing the drills or should I wait till I finish all of the foundations sections? Thanks and happy studying!

Hi everyone, I am wondering if someone has taken the LSAT at the in-person test center in Ottawa. I'd like to do that to avoid potential difficulties with WiFi/proctor because I just get so paranoid thinking about those. But I want to know how that experience has been for those who's done it there? Thank you!

Took a diagnostic test with no studying and scored a 157. Did the foundations section and then scored a 158. Then about half way through the LR curriculum I scored a 153. Scared to take another test and see results drop or not improve. Has anything like this happened to others and how did you deal with it?

Hello everyone!! Does anyone have any information on taking the international LSAT? Is it the same exam and does it look ok on law school applications?

I am thinking about moving abroad for a year before attending law school (a life long dream of mine), however I'm worried about taking the LSAT and if taking the international test is a good idea? From my understanding if you're not psychically in the US or Canada you can't take the regular exam and need to register for one of the specified international dates, so this would be my only option if I chose to go. This is probably a niche question, but any insight would be helpful. Thank you!!

I took my diagnostic in January. Since then I have studied a little and taken two more PTs. While I have been reviewing my wrong answers I haven't really been committed to studying since I am taking the summer to do so for the August test. I took a PT each month just to build a stamina but was surprised when I jumped up 6 points on the second and then 6 more on the third. I am having some imposter syndrome since I haven't studied the way I should be to getting those jumps. Is this random luck? Was my diagnostic just lower than I was capable of? Is this normal for beginners?

This Friday 4/4/25 at 2 PM ET, I will be teaching this week's Choose Your Own Adventure live class. Vote here for the topic you'd like to see covered:

Curious if folks at this point are having issues scheduling their April test? For days, I’ve been having “No Available Times” and LSAC has told me to reach out to Prometric who hasn’t gotten back to my request from the “Contact Us” page. Bueller?
