According to LSAC’s accommodations page, I have the necessary paperwork for approval of 50% extra time. However, since I have not yet registered, I have not been officially granted the accommodation. Given this, should I take my prep tests with the 50% extra time or stick to the standard 35 minutes? I plan to take the LSAT in August 2025.

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

Just a PSA (but especially for girlies): Narcissistic abuse literally damages your brain and interferes with your reasoning and critical thinking abilities, processing speed, and memory. I went from being consistently getting around 95 percent correct to a much more variable percentage. Please preserve your brain power for studying for this test. Gaslighting can affect your ability to gauge the strength of premises, for example. Your goal is to figure out the validity of the arguments on the LSAT instead of the validity of someone's son's lies. Abusive people force you to reason like them, which does not translate to the best results on the LSAT. Having to sift through 27 lies a day is equivalent to the mental load of doing 27 extra practice questions that actually make you worse instead of better.

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!

If I identify the experimental section properly could I use it as a 35 minute break? Knowing that it's not going to be scored? Is this a good or bad idea for my test day? Let me know. Thank you

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 :)

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?

Just took my 3rd prep test (PT 120). Got a 169. LR -4, RC -4 and LR -1. Very Happy with this result as I am still pretty early in my studying journey.

The only caveat is that for what 7sage deemed to be the "experimental" section on this exam, I got -8. This LR section was noticeably harder, I have never gotten -8 in a section before.

I am just wondering whether this section was truly "experimental"? As getting a -8 on the one section that didn't get scored feels a bit like it invalidates my 169.

Any thoughts or experience on the so called "experimental" sections would be greatly appreciated!

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!

I drive a lot, so listening to content is a good use of my time. Anyone know of a good audio book or podcast that reviews questions, strategies, etc that will help increase my score?

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.

149 (April)> 158 (Jan) > 165 (Feb)

Thank you 7sage! finally scored my goal score in Feb! Shoutout to Henry, Nicole and Bailey's live classes!!

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!

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! 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?

Hi all! For those that have already taken the LSAT, what are your experiences in taking it online or in-person? 🥲

Which is better in your opinion (pros/cons)? Even if you haven't taken the other format, why did you prefer the format?

Context:

I am very new at all the LSAT test-taking experience. I planning to take my first LSAT in April and am very nervous. I want to register tomorrow (don't want to risk doing things last minute) and was considering doing it online, but am not sure if my choice on where to take the test impacts admissions in any way and such (e.g. online test takers are more at a disadvantage for admissions). I want to think taking it in-person is better but am not sure what testing facilities look like, procedures, etc. and if I would be distracted by other test takers. For online, I read there are camera requirements, and am not sure if I need to buy special equipment? My house is not the quietest place because of pets and busy family members, and was planning on taking it in a neighbor's home...hopefully that's allowed? If there was some unprecedented noise, such as siren noises, dogs barking, etc. would I be cited? I took the written driver's test online during COVID and my first account with the proctored system disqualified my test because there was a front door chime going off every time my parents were opening the door as they were bringing groceries inside and the test thought I had my phone with me. After this experience, I became more nervous on taking proctored tests especially when there is a cap on the number of LSATs one can take...

Thank you all ahead of time.

I may not reply to comments, and thought to leave this forum here also in case others have similar questions

Hello I would like a Study Buddy In Puerto Rico or Online

since no one responded-just not worrying about this anymore I'm the type of person that loves assembling things together without using other people's instructions, and I'm having a really hard time going into any part of the existing core curriculum content, especially with the large amount of hours that defaults at the top. I did go through the old version w/ lg and part of the new really fast and didn't retain much if at all- got a decent score but want the best score I can get. I'm confident that I can find my own path. But I thought maybe finding some reliable, consistent and responsive who is slowly working their way through the new core curriculum might be beneficial for me. Let me know if you might be that person. I'm on a work hiatus for a few weeks so I have a lot of time for now.

Was taking a practice test, a red banner appeared saying connections to the testing server had failed, progress was not being save, and the testing thing should be closed in X seconds if the connection didn't return. This is the second time in the past few minutes this happened, is it just me?

Anyone in the 412 area studying? August LSAT hopeful.

Hey everyone, I'm trying to think wisely about which LSATs I could get the most out of this year and welcome any advice. I plan to take up to three LSATs total this year.

Here's my story:

I decided at the end of last year to matriculate in Fall 2026. Took a practice test without any study and scored 161. My target score is 175.

Around January I began studying on the LSAC website. Having discovered 7sage and better studying habits, I consider this first month a wash. Nonetheless, during this time I registered for the April 2025 LSAT.

Part of me now considers this a mistake as I doubt my score will improve very much over the next month. However, some friends have convinced me that it is worth it just to acclimate to the test environment and see what I score under real conditions.

Initially, I planned to take it again in June and August. I now think I should skip the June test to extend my study time and take the August test and either the September or October test.

The advantage of the October test is an extra month of study after the August test and the disadvantage is that with scores released on October 24, I will be looking to submit applications at the end of October/beginning of November. This is a little later than I would like for schools with rolling admissions (I am located in Boston and will apply to Harvard as my sort of platonic ideal). The inverse, of course, is true for the September test.

Currently within my situation I have time for 1-2 hours of dedicated study per day weekday (more on Saturdays, perhaps less on Sundays).

My explicit question for you all is whether you think the September or October test is a better bet (consider, for example, the impact of applying for rolling admissions schools a month into the process -- am I overestimating this?). Of course, I welcome any and all other advice given the information I've provided. Happy to clarify anything either described above or details I may have neglected to include.

Thanks all. Appreciate your time.

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!
