I took my first diagnostic this past Saturday and wanted to know when I should take my next practice test. I have been working through the foundational lessons and was wondering if I should wait until I complete them before taking another practice test.

i was all the way through the old core curriculum when the new version of 7sage came out with all the new prep tests. i have been testing from pt 36 all the way up to pt 61 using the old format but now i want to take pt62-pt94 using the new preptests. however, it doesnt look like the new preptests work that way. would it be okay for me to just continue taking 3 sections of pt 62-94, while adding on an old section for each preptests myself? i like doing the prep tests sequentially, like 62, 63, 64 , 65 etc. i also like how jy ping adds commentary every 4 or 5 prep tests using students live takes and i dont want to lose that.
for someone who has been prep testing sequentially all the way since pt 36, how can i continue to do this while also adding in a 4th section in the most realistic way possible? thank you
Hi!
I am working my way through the core curriculum and see that a lot of PTs now say that 1-2+ questions have been taken from them. I don't want to limit how many PTs I can take and also don't want to pull questions from the PTs in the new format so that I can accurately assess what scores to expect. Is there a way I can drill without pulling questions from the new form PTs?
My last 4 pt's have been on average a score of 159. The law school I want to go to has a median lsat of 159. Should I keep PT'ing over the spring and summer and take the test in September and apply in October of this year? At what point would I want to get my recommendation letters and other loose ends of my application tied up? What scores should I be seeing before I stop PT's and sign up for the real thing? Thanks
It'll help me in a research project designed to make 7Sage better.

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!
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.
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?
Anyone who is in connecticut want to study together?
Hello! I'm doing a late night study sesh on 7 Sage, and the drilling section keeps refreshing and reloading-- I can't even access the explanation videos right now. Is anyone else having difficulties?
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.
I had the pleasure of working with Yara from 7Sage, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She is incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and has a unique ability to break down complex concepts in a way that other tutors I’ve worked with never could. For anyone struggling with the LSAT, she is an invaluable resource.
The 7Sage platform has been instrumental in my LSAT journey, providing outstanding support and guidance. Working with Yara and the company has been an amazing experience.
Anyone have issues with this?
Anyone in the 412 area studying? August LSAT hopeful.
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
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'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?

Hello I would like a Study Buddy In Puerto Rico or Online
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 bought powerscore book in 2020 but didn't get a chance to study. Do I need to purchase this year's edition one if I want to study this year? Would there be much difference?
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
My former tutor showed me how to make a wrong answer journal using Word, but I am wondering if anyone has a wrong answer journal in Excel. If yes, can anyone send me a file just so that I can see how you are creating the document itself?
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.
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!
