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!!!

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!

Just paid for 7Sage and LSAC. The accounts do not link. I'm a mac user and have tried every browser.

How is this platform having this same issues years later?

Also, why is no one sharing the fix in the forums and only replying with an email?

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!

Would love to study with someone! I work at a firm full time so would have to be after 6:00 LMK!

Here is the link and pass it on! The best and brightest are all here. Forward it all to all lsat Warriors https://discord.gg/AWekDrtwHc

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!

When I click on a test, all I'm seeing is a blank answer sheet, as though I'm supposed to have the physical test in front of me.

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)

I just recently got to the 160s and want a study buddy around my score who can meet virtual once a week. We can teach each other and push each other to do well! (Eastern time zone)

How can I print out PTs and individual questions for my wrong answer journal?

It helps me to blind review and create my wrong answer journal on paper and take the PT's digitally.

Should you study for the argumentative writing part? If anyone has completed it before any insight on what it is like? Is it a passage then you write an essay I am honestly not sure, I haven't looked into it because I have focused mainly on the LR and RC.

How soon do scheduling dates, times, and locations come out before your test? I am signed up for the April 2025 LSAT and have not gotten an email allowing me to schedule yet, I know it's still early, but I am wondering, for those who have already taken the test, when did you get an email allowing you to pick the date, time, and location of where you will be taking the test.

Just curious to know if anyone relies on the study schedule this prep course provides for them. Is that a good way to really get adjusted and familiar with the LSAT and get a good score or should I set up drills and go to live clsses there is just alot of resources in this prep I want to make sure Im using it correctly to where I will get a good score!

We're trying to figure out how to create default usernames on our new site. Do you want to be anonymous on the 7Sage forum, or in chat if we had it? Why or why not? Please take the poll and respond in the comments if you have more to say.

Im stuck getting 160-162 on my past four practice tests, how do I break out of this range and into the mid-high 160s. I take one a week, and practice using the drills everyday in between. I am majorly plateauing and need a way out asap!

I am trying to schedule for the Feb 2025 LSAT but prometric is saying there are no available times for 2/7 AND 2/8. Is this happening to anyone else?

Just finished my first year of attorney life (I'm licensed in CA). Open for any burning questions!

I previously posted my imperfect LSAT journey on my profile, so I'll spare you the background info again here. (See https://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/21896/my-lsat-journey-is-over-144-166-rough-road-inspiration-top-3-tips)

I graduated from USC Gould.

I will quickly note that, regardless what you intend to use your law school degree to achieve, the doors a Juris Doctor will open for you will be incredible.

AMA!

Do you recommend getting the core curriculum foundation lessons down as much as possible before moving on to the lessons on logic and reading comprehension (as well as drills and PTs)? Sometimes I get nervous that I’m spending too much time on one foundation section. At the same time, I feel like it’s important and doesn’t make sense to continue with the core curriculum lessons if I don’t feel confident in a certain part of the foundation lessons. I just want to make sure that, although I'm spending time on foundational things I don't get yet, I'm not seeking perfection at those things either. I'm studying full time and only have 3 months, so I want to make sure I'm not spending too much time on foundations.

Hi all,

I know most law schools require 2-3 recommendation letters, but do they all need to come from professors or supervisors? I’m struggling to secure mine for my applications. So far, I’ve only received one from a professor, and I’ve sent out at least 15 emails to others.

For context, I graduated in 2020, and I’ve reached out to a few professors from that time—one agreed to write a letter, but another declined. I’m also currently in a master’s program, but since it’s online, my professors have expressed that they’re uncomfortable writing a letter due to not having in-person interactions.

In addition, I’ve been teaching, but I didn’t have the best relationship with the administrators at my previous school, so I’m hesitant to ask them for a letter. I’m about to start a new job, but I haven’t worked there long enough to ask anyone yet, as we don’t know each other well.

Any advice on how to handle this or whether non-professor recommenders could still be viable?

Thanks!

Hi,

So embarrassing but freshman year of high school, a couple of my "friends" and I got caught vaping in the bathroom (i know i know). Was suspended for a day or two. I am unsure whether to disclose this information since I am not sure if this is on my record or not. I also don't remember if my high school said they would put it on my record or not. For the character and fitness, do I need to disclose this or not. Some of them just say "professional school", but I don't know if i should call my high school or the law school and see if i should. I don't want this to end up resulting in not getting in to a majority of the schools. Didn't know freshman year was going to bite me in the arse now.

Any help would be awesome. If it is the case i do need to submit something, would this be a make or break factor?

Hello Everyone just started 7sage and looking for some encouragement. I was wondering if you could post what LSAT score you started at and what LSAT score you finished at. Also the amount of hours or roughly how long it took you to get that score. Also any words of advice would be appreciated.

Hi, I literally just signed up for 7sage and am starting from complete scratch. Basically the only thing I have done so far is a diagnostic test on Lawhub and scored a 155.

I realized that there is so much content after checking out the syllabus. As a result, I was hoping for some tips related to how I should study all of this material (for example if I should first complete certain sections fully, or combine sections and do a little bit from each all at the same time).

Basically any study guides/tips and approaches to how to best utilize this website efficiently would be amazing! In case this helps, I can dedicate about 2-3 hours daily on weekdays to LSAT studying and maybe a little bit more on weekends. If anyone would be okay with sharing their studying schedule or routine as an example, I would really appreciate that too!

Thanks for any tips in advance (3(/p)
