Hi everyone. Studying law is something that I've always wanted to do. I have a few family and friends that are attorneys and always enjoy discussions with them, both in general and about the law that they practice. It's always been an attractive career to me; however, I went to school for computer science and am currently a software engineer.

While I do love that job as well, I don't know that it will be my forever career, and I have been looking to make a career change into other fields that interest me, while retaining software engineering as just a hobby. Hobby programming is when I enjoy it the most anyway.

However, at this point in my life, I'm five years out of college. I started college two years late, and did a 4 year degree, so I'm almost 30 years old now. I may be able to do complete law school in three years, but in order to keep working at least part-time to support my family, I may need to do a four-year evening program at my local college's law school. If I study for the LSAT and start school next year (Fall '27), I would be done in 2031, at 35 years old. I'm all for it, but want to be practical. If this is a fool's errand, I'd like to at least know before I get started.

This is something I really want to do, and if I had no other concerns, I would just quit my job and get into the best 3-year law school I could and just enjoy it. With other responsibilities, I'm wondering though if this is even feasible. If anyone here has done something similar or if they know someone who's done something similar and made it work, would love to hear about that experience.

For what its worth, I'm historically a pretty strong (though unapplied) student and learner in general, although I can definitely tell I'm not as sharp as I was 5+ years ago :( But thats just to say I don't have pre-existing struggles with academics that would hinder me further in this.

Hey friends, I’m going to get a little personal here for a second.

I believe that I may have some undiagnosed ADHD. I really struggle with truly dedicating time and brain power to studying for the LSAT which really sucks because I truly want to be a lawyer, more than anything in the world. I find the test to be very daunting and large, so I feel rather unmotivated to tackle training for this thing, even though I know I need to. It’s easy to sit here and say, “I just need to lock in” because, even though I say that, I feel like I can’t make my brain/body actually do it. I also feel like this translates to other things in my life. It also sucks because like, I realize this about myself, but feel like I can’t escape it. I also notice other things like high-strung energy and feeling like I can’t focus on certain things without having this overall dread of overthinking what I’m doing to the point of forgetting or not being able to explain what I’m doing. I feel like I’m in constant brain fog.

My question is: Is there anyone out there who started practicing and studying before being diagnosed with ADHD and then went through the diagnosis process and then afterwords, noticed major upward changes in the results? If so, how did you go about it, and do you think it made THAT much of a difference?

If you respond, thanks for getting personal with your ADHD diagnosis!

Hey guys, I got a serious question:

So I was thinking about either taking the June or August LSAT (planning on taking either one in-person). I was wondering if the test center will allow me to show up wearing a full 2018 Lebron James game fit (jersey, compression tank, shorts, shoes, literally everything that my glorious king would wear).

I am trying to get into Lawschool. I am 31 years old and have a decent work resume in infectious disease research. My GPA is 3.59. I probably will score between 160 and 165 on my exam this week. Below is every practice exam I ever took. Think it's worth it to take again in June before applying to law schools? I want to raise my LSAT score as much as possible to override my not so great GPA and to get as much scholarship poetntial as possible. I live in NYC and want to go to Fordham or St Johns. I want to work full time through it but I guess that's another story. My true was goal was to get 166+ on my LSAT.

Hi there! I am taking the LSAT for the first time next Friday, the 9th. I am treating it as a practice exam to create a baseline score for my June exam.

I am looking for a flexible tutor who can work with me and my busy schedule. I work a 9-5 and my study times vary, but I always take at least an hour to two a day, uninterrupted for studying.

I started studying in January, and had a 138 diagnostic. I am currently scoring in the 155-159 range, but want a 165 on the exam in June. Tutoring would hopefully follow my April exam and have a more concrete number to work with.

I have been going through the Foundations portion of the Lesson Plans, and was on the section of Necessary and Sufficient indicators. I did notice that one of the lessons said that if we are practicing these, we are eventually going to become natural with these if we have months of practice. However, if we are on a time crunch and have 1 month or so, and are already scoring low 150s, what area is more beneficial to focus on mastering in order to achieve maybe 5-10 points more?

Anywhere you see a tag on the website, hover over it for more information! Handy dandy!

Also, we've added a ton of tags for common flaws like ad hominem arguments and false dichotomies! Dandy handy!

Shoot us any ideas you have for what information you'd like to see in these tooltips.

If I opt in to make monthly payments for tutoring hours, is there an option to pay off the remaining balance early?

I am reading the Economist to study for law school, as someone here or on reddit had mentioned it as a good way to learn how to write in law school. I am wondering if it is also good for reading comprehension. If so, does anyone have any tips for how to study using The Economist?

For example, I am currently thinking of reading an article, then summarizing the main points of the article and the conclusion, and as an extra step, try to state my own opinion on the article. Let me know your thoughts in the comments. TIA

So I was at the AAC for the Mavs game and I saw this on the jumbotron. Do you guys think this is a sign?

Now you can hop into a study room right from your chat:

Hi, Is there a reason we can't pick Aug 2026 test date in the study plan? It only lets me pick until June at the latests. I do plan on applying in the fall.. is Aug 2026 too late and that is why it is not letting me choose that date?

Recently I've noticed that the custom timing feature on LR and RC drills has been a little finicky. For example, if I want to create a drill and set the timer for say, 15:00 minutes, the page will start glitching once I begin entering my desired drill time into the text box. I never had issues with this before, but now, it feels like I have to fight my computer every time I want to create a custom time'd drill. Has anyone else had issues with this?

I wanted to ask the community and also maybe have 7Sage team chime in as I have been drilling with folks using the new "adaptive" feature that replaced the random question type setting. How has it been working for y'all? 🥹

I've been drilling in a group setting but for this past whole week I've been getting only conditional reasoning tag! I thought it was maybe just coincidence, but when others in my group streamed their drills, they got say, only flaws or evaluate. I'm guessing its based off our weaknesses but conditionals have actually been my strongest for the past few months...so even if I wanted to go with adaptive mode, I'm not sure how to impact the questions they throw at me...

Is there a way to change this to be truly random like it originally was?

Maybe I'm missing something... 🥲

Any help is appreciated! Thank you!

My law hub advantage expires April 1st and I will be renewing it at a later time in April. My 7sage subscription cycle is also on April 1st but I don't want to pay before renewing my lawhub because I know I cannot utilize 7sage without lawhub. If I pause my subscription March 31 and then unpause it when i resubscribe to lawhub will anything go wrong with my account? What happens when my account is paused? Thanks in advance!

Hello, who knows the schedule for that room?

We just released a new feature that shows how your chances of admission change at any given school with different LSAT scores. Check it out:

Hey all- I did PT.141.S2 yesterday and I was wanting to do an in-depth review for my wrong answers journal. However, my results still have not transferred to 7Sage. Anyway to fix this?

Hey all!! I just recently started really locking in on the LSAT (for 2-3 weeks now). I am planning on taking it in August but hoping to maybe also take it in June (haven't decided yet). I feel so stressed because I feel like I was really understanding the content more, but I don't feel I have seen any improvement. Anyone else feel this way? I was curious if maybe my studying could be improved as I am also worried about burnout. I am trying to do a test/week by doing 3 sections spread out throughout the week, with a day after the section to review mistakes, learn from them, and then drill ( a method I learned from a 180 scorer youtuber). In addition to this, I am following my "balanced" 7Sage study plan and doing the lessons each day, along with 2-4 drill sets of 5. I study for about 4 hours daily, usually. I am really hoping to get to a 175+- anyone have any critiques or suggestions? Also, is my panic and anxiety based in reality or my OCD?????

Does anyone have Bailey's PDF she drops from her Spot the Gap lessons? It looks super dope but I have unfortunately missed it the last couple times and have been dying to get a hold of it for review. So if anyone has it and could email it to me or drop a link in chat, it would be greatly appreciated:)

Hey everyone! I have small ears and was wondering if anyone had a really good recommendation for foam earplugs. The last time I took the exam in the testing center, they gave me these over-ear headphones, but they weren`t enough, particularly when the proctor came to help a student next to me. The closer to noise-cancelling, the better. Thanks!

Hey all,

Very specific question here. Basically, I’m going to be part of a local research team for a study being done by a large national non profit. I’m just wondering how I would put that in my resume.

To give more detail, I wouldn’t be listed among the primary authors, but my name would be in the appendix listed under my team. I suppose I’m curious how one cites that in a resume, or if I even should.

Thanks!

Hey y'all, I am scheduled to take the LSAT next month, and I am not feeling great about my scores. I know we won't get our scores back until after the June deadline, so I am trying to figure out if I should just go ahead and register for it. I have the fee waiver, so I only get the 2 free exams, so I just want to make sure I am using my time wisely.

Does anyone have any suggestions or the same concerns? LMK!!

Hey all! Quick question. Just got through Foundations, about to start up LR in the Lesson Library. I noticed "Fast Track" at the end; has anyone gone through all LR lessons, got to fast track and finished it, and felt like you could've sufficed with just doing the fast track lessons? Or it's better to go through every lesson and THEN do every fast track lesson? I am aiming for that second option to get in as much knowledge as possible, but I was just wondering what it looked like from a different perspective of a fellow student. Lmk what you guys have done/plan on doing/recommend, thanks :)
