Time Management while working full time

Hi all,

I have been studying for the LSAT for about a month now and its going okay.

My biggest obstacle is staying consistent with my studying. I work as a full time consultant and can have long, unpredictable hours.

This week as an example, I thought I could be home by 7:00pm and resume studying but I ended up having to work until 10:00 pm and 12:00 am most days this week. I like what I do but its just difficult to stay motivated after working long hours and stick to a plan when my weeks can be hard to gauge.

I knew this would be an obstacle for me so I'm trying to wake up a bit earlier, to squeeze some extra studying in, and do some longer sessions on the weekend.

Does anyone have any studying regiments or tips on how to balance a slightly unpredictable schedule with LSAT studying?

Regards.

PrepTest Equivalent Score

Hi, I'm wondering how to PrepTest equivalent score in calculated after drilling? How accurate is it? I notice sometimes it gives me a fairly high score for 100% correct, even with fairly easy questions. Slightly confused on this and wondering if I should disregard the score. Thanks!

I was just wondering if anyone else is dealing with this issue? Every time I pause a video on this platform my screen goes black. This is extremely troublesome, because when I pause the video it is to take a second to understand diagrams or answer choices. This never happened to me before on the classic 7Sage website. I'm not sure if it is because I am using safari or what?

I'd really love to just pause the video and the screen stays where I pause it at.

Has anyone taken the LSAT at a Prometric testing center in the NYC area, specifically the Manhattan or Brooklyn locations?

I’m curious about what the testing experience was like. I’m very sensitive to background noise, and I’ve heard that people may be entering and leaving the testing room throughout the exam, with proctors also speaking to other test-takers inside the room. Was that your experience?

I’d really appreciate any insight. I'm taking the LSAT in February and just thinking about either in-person or remote testing.

LSAT Prep Resources

Hey everyone! I just recently joined 7sage. About 2 weeks ago I purchased the Logical Reasoning and Reading Comprehension bibles. After looking through the options on this site, I am thinking I can return the books. Does anyone have any takes on this? I'm just curious if anyone has both or if I can save some money and return the bibles.

Hello,

I am trying to decide when to take the LSAT. I am currently in my senior year of college and will be graduating in may. I am going to apply for the fall 2027 law school cycle. I have been studying the 7sage program for about 2 months( almost done with the large foundations portion and about to start the practice) and did the powerscore books before this. I am ok with paying for 2 -3 tests and am wondering when it is best to take the test. I want to prioritize getting the best score I can while submitting early applications to create a competitive application for some t-14 schools. I have heard some say to take as many tests as you can to get the best score and others say it's a waste of money. Wondering if anyone has any strong opinions on the matter. In addition I will be done with my 7sage program at the end of may and wondering if i should transition to some private tutoring. I am aiming for at least a 173. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I took the LSAT back in 2015 — basically the Stone Age compared to today’s remote, digital format.

At the time, I pivoted and built a career in federal procurement instead of law. It’s been a solid path, but lately I’ve felt pulled back toward pursuing a legal career.

For those who’ve applied recently (or are in law school now): Is it still worth it? Is the market as saturated as people say?

And maybe this is niche — but has anyone transitioned into law after building a stable government career first?

Would love to hear from anyone who’s made a similar leap.

Doubtful

I am almost done with the Theory section, and I am wondering why did I chose this path, I know that I want to become an attorney, but these reading comprehension passages are literally draining the life out of me.

I wonder if taking this course was really of help or not, I will finish it and continue with the drills, but oh my Goodness, maybe having untimed drills are making me take longer and double think some of these answer choices more than if I had a time limit either way must complete it!

I have had my subscription paused for about a month and was previously on the Live membership. Im looking to downgrade to the Core membership for a bit but I want to make sure that after I unpause my subscription im not going to automatically be charged the Live membership fee and then again for the Core. Is it possible to change my subscription while paused to avoid this?

Hi everyone, I've been listening to your feedback over the past few days and I want to let you know that we've started working on a way for you to transfer your data from classic to new 7Sage.

The most important data is PrepTest data and you can already manually import those to new 7Sage. It takes about 4 minutes per manual PT import.

In approximately 4-6 weeks (hoping for 4!), I expect that we'll have built a way to automatically import 3-digit PrepTest data from classic to new 7Sage.

In another 4-6 weeks, automatic import of 3-digit Drilling data from classic to new 7Sage should be available too.

In the meantime, I just want to emphasize that you do NOT have to switch to using the new 7Sage. The classic site, i.e., this site, will continue to work just as before.

Hi all! I got my target score for the january lsat and want to cancel my subscription, but I had paused it just in case I needed to take the lsat again. I want to make sure I don't get charged when it unpauses, but I can't find a button to cancel while paused, even on the billing page. Any help?

Hello 7Sagers!

Recently, we have noticed that quite a few of you have been having trouble with our videos, especially with the videos not loading and the "four dots" constantly giving a buffering signal, but never actually loading.

We have been able to reproduce the issue ourselves privately, but so far that hasn't been enough data for us to pinpoint exactly what's going on. We're calling on everyone who has had the problem to please let us know, especially with the following details:

what device/app you were using, and what OS

what country you are currently in

when does it occur? anything "noteworthy" happening?

We also welcome any screenshots or screencasts.

Either post here or email studentservice@7sage.com.

Thanks everyone!

It's been a couple of days since the feb lsat and all I can say is THANK GOD I am DONE. Honestly just praying for anything above a 150. Good luck to those studying; I went from an average of -14 on the lr sections to -9 (!!). On the rc my best was a -4 (!!!!!) This was all in under two months.

Gap Year - Studying

Hi everyone, I finish my bachelors degree in April of this year and am writing my LSAT in June. I have been studying on and off since May of last year and due to some life circumstances decided not to write last August. This test has definitely made me question my work ethic and self worth, and I had built up a lot of anxiety surrounding it. I did take the 7Sage Total Prep Intensive Class and although helpful, I have learned that I learn best through actual repeated / spaced practice sessions. I started studying in January and am writing my first PT this week after quite a few months. I finally feel like I am in a place with this test where I get excited to drill and see my progress and have been doing significantly better on drilling than ever before. For anyone who comes across this, what helped me out of my funk was the basics to anything really. Get sleep. Eat real food. Exercise. Have some comedic relief. See some friends. And know when to lock in. And when you do, give it your all. You are smart and you are capable. Comparison is the thief of joy and any progress in this game. Believing in yourself, showing up confident, and establishing a healthy ratio of study discipline to life is key. Good luck to all, we're all in this together!

7Sage Tutoring

Hello everyone! I have been studying for the LSAT for quite a while and took the test and completely let me anxiety get the best of me and my mind went blank. I am studying again for hopes of applying Fall 2025 and plan to take the test in April 2024. Although I am not done the Core Curriculum, I know I am in desperate help especially for Logical Reasoning. On my previous prep tests, I always get -10 to -14/15 on each section. I am seeing slow improvement in the logic games section because I am using the foolproof method. However, I am thinking about getting a tutor from 7Sage. For those currently working with a tutor, do you recommend it? I work full time and am saving up for law school but am scared that tutoring may just not work for me and I just blew away money that could have been used for law school tuition.

Hello everyone, I am writing to ask for general advice on how to proceed with my studies. I have dabbled in the core curriculum, and have now been scoring around seven wrong on my practice sections after consistently studying for a month. This has caused me to panic a bit, as the path forward feels muddled and uncertain. My goal is a 170, so I will need to improve significantly in the coming months, as I plan on taking the test in the fall so that I can go to law school next year. My dream school is Washington and Lee

Although I have maintained a good gpa of 3.93, I am a regular college student with regular habits. I plan on making some serious changes to my life in order to achieve my goal. I am hoping that you all may be able to provide me some guidance as to how to proceed.

This is very troubling to me, as I feel like I am being confronted with my own mediocrity. I fear the LSAT is going to stop me in my tracks and nullify the hard work I have done throughout college.

Heyo 7Sagers,

It's been a while since I posted here. I return after the November 2018 LSAT with some good news: I got into my desired law school with a scholarship! A year ago, when I was contemplating whether to give up on the LSAT after my December 2017 write, I was convinced that I wouldn't even see a scholarship, let alone be admitted to any law school. I had hinged everything on the December LSAT and, because of my low score, I was not admitted to any of the law schools I applied to. This is around about the time I discovered 7Sage, which motivated me to study and rewrite in November 2018. This cycle, after improving my score by 18 points, I had offers with scholarships from each of the schools I applied to.

I am so grateful for the 7Sage community and for JY's sage wisdom. Without either, I would not have gotten to where I am today: stress free and looking forward to starting on my path come September. Let it be known: some elbow grease and a can-do attitude can get you far, but following the sage advice of JY and the 7Sage community will do you wonders.

In light of this, I wanted to pay forward the help I received here and give y'all my comprehensive study guide, which I compiled throughout my own LSAT journey. I'm very proud of it and believe that reviewing this on the daily helped me achieve my 18 point increase.

So, without further ado, I present to you my study guide: https://www.scribd.com/document/399013916/Tim-Horton-s-LSAT-Notes

Go get 'em, 7Sage fam.

Cheers,

Tims

Lil' frustrated, but hangin in there

Soo I started my prep like the second week of January and had about a week off since... In the beginning it was kinda fun and I was getting a lot of the practice/skill builders correct, but now I'm consistently getting the first pass and BR wrong on the practice questions embedded in the study plan. I'm curious has anyone experienced this and is it normal? I'm trying to tell myself I need to keep pushing forward through the learning and I'll review lessons for reoccurring issues (like the oldest in the book) and I do watch the full vide explanations of the right answers and wrong answers (i can usually understand why the right one is and when i can't i flag) and I guess I'm thinking that it all builds... will I be screwed if I get through the lessons and then plan to use drilling and practice to solidify concepts? Like should I be going back to review more now before I even most past the study foundational portion? I guess, would love direction... Do I a) take a pause to review lessons or b) keep going through lessons as planned and then use the practice time at the end to hammer in those lessons?

😖 Frustrated

Applying for the 2026 Cycle

I have been trying to break into the 150s and 160s for LSAT studying but I keep getting stuck at the late 140s. I am having a lot of trouble with logical reasoning and am not sure how to fix it. I am taking the LSAT in February and then taking it again in April. What should I do? What studying techniques should I incorporate? I have been consistently drilling. Every three days I take a day off after studying for two or three hours and working a full time job. Any recommendations?

Hi all! I just have a question regarding the proctored PTs that are hosted by 7sage on weekends. For anyone that's taken one with them, do they give out the PT or are you expected to have one ready to take and you just complete your own on the proctored zoom? Just want to be prepared. Thanks!

When attempting to blind review questions after drilling, my 7sage interface times out and returns a blank screen with an "Internal Server Error" message. I was curious if any others have encountered this as well, and would appreciate any help troubleshooting. I'm on a Chrome browser and the issue persists across different browsers/after restarting my computer/changing internet connections.
