Does the program have you take a diagnostic test first? Is the practice based on this score? I am new to the program and have not started it yet, but wanted to know.
Sorry if this question had already been answered. I’ve just started on 7sage and I’ve noticed the heavy emphasis on Blind review. However I have found that with BR (in drills and in the lessons) I tend to score lower or the same as my timed questions. On the Law hub library practice tests, I generally score about 2-5 wrong per PT section. After I check my answers I understand my errors, but during my own “BR” I tend to just over think and change my correct answers to incorrect ones and often don’t notice mistakes which in hindsight/during normal review are very obvious to me. I end up with a BR with a similar score or even more mistakes. So I have mostly skipped it despite the advice that it will help me improve.
So I wanted to ask if anyones run into the same problem, or what I can do to make the BR worth while (since it is so time consuming). How can I fix this pattern? Is BR just not right for me?
Who does the LSAC consider a "qualified professional"? I have a licensed professional counselor who, in the state I am in, is licensed to diagnose and treat, and her "expertise" is within my diagnoses. I'm getting ready to get everything together for accommodations, but I am so confused what they would consider.
Hi everyone,
Curious to hear how people are handling caffeine during LSAT studying and on test day. I’m taking the June LSAT (about three weeks out) and trying to figure out a routine that keeps my energy and focus steady throughout the entire test.
Quick background:
I’ve been drinking coffee for over five years, most days of the week. At the start of this year, I took a full caffeine break from January to mid-March while finishing my last quarter of school. I wanted to reset my tolerance and prove to myself I didn’t need it. Once spring break hit, I started drinking coffee again more casually, and after that, I transitioned into full-time LSAT studying and got back into a more regular caffeine habit.
Right now, I usually have one cup of coffee almost every day, and sometimes a yerba mate later in the day if I feel like I need it.
Here’s the issue:
On my first two PTs this spring, I had a medium coffee shop coffee at the start of the test. I felt great during the first half, but started to feel it wear off by the second half, and my performance noticeably dropped. I only missed one question in the first section, then missed significantly more as the test went on.
So for my most recent PT, I switched things up and drank a yerba mate during the test instead (along with a random coconut water because I like them). The yerba lasted me through the whole test and I felt like my energy stayed consistent. But weirdly, I scored lower overall. My performance was steady across sections, but not as sharp as my earlier tests.
Now I’m unsure what to do moving forward. I’m considering experimenting with matcha too, though I haven’t tried it yet for a full PT.
Obviously everyone’s body is different, but has anyone here tested out different caffeine strategies and found something that worked well for them? I’m not worried about the proctoring side of things—I’ve brought coffee in a clear bottle before and it was fine.
Any thoughts or experiences would be appreciated.
Hi everyone, I registered for the June LSAT, but at this point, I don't feel prepared and I'm worried I won’t reach my target score. I did purchase the score preview, so I have the option to cancel after seeing my score if it doesn't go well.
Right now, I’m debating between two options:
Go ahead and take the June test, then cancel the score after preview if I think I can do better.
Reschedule to August or September, even though I understand the fee won’t be refunded.
For context, my main concern is whether a cancelled score (after using the preview) will negatively affect my law school applications. Would it look bad to have a cancelled score on my record, or is it better to just push the test back now?
Would love to hear your thoughts, especially from anyone who’s been in a similar situation. Thanks!
I've been using 7sage for well over a year. Meaning I have thousands of questions I've already answered and numerous PT's I've already taken. I want to transfer as much data as possible so I don't accidentally run out of material, or on the other side, end up redoing a bunch of questions I've already done. For now I've had to have two tabs open in order to create drills on the new page, using my data from the old site.
One of the staff suggested redoing my PTs on the new site with my old answers, but that would take me several hours at least. Several hours I could spend studying.
Does anyone have a more efficient way to transfer stuff over? At the very least questions ad PT's I've already taken?? Any other suggestions for starting over completely on the new site?
I don't care about the Core Curriculum progress at all, though I wish it were that easy to check box questions and PTs I've already done.
Any suggestions are appreciated, bonus points if I don't have to spend hours upon hours or days upon days to move stuff over.
I am consistently missing the last like four questions on any section due to running out of time!!! Any tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated. I am just starting to find an answer I like, leave it alone, move on. I am tempted to look at every answer choice carefully, but I know it's impractical. Help!!!
Answering LSAT questions is a lot like finding a boyfriend or girlfriend. I look at all my options and eventually feel an attraction and connection with one of them. I don't have a lot of time, but something in my subconscious draws me to it. But then I get this weird feeling, and I hesitate because I don't want to pick the wrong one and regret my decision later
Is there a way we can transfer our subscription and progress to the New 7Sage site? I don't see any option for it

Hi!
I've been studying on and off for the LSAT since March 2023 and have applied twice but haven't gotten in anywhere. I stopped studying early this year around January but I'm starting again soon. The only program I've used is 7sage but I'm starting to think maybe that's what's keeping my score in the range of 50-160. I'm wondering if anyone has any tips or other resources I should use/pair up with the 7sage curriculum to boost my score for when I write the test again. Thank you!

Hello,
Has anyone experienced large losses in time when taking 7Sage's practice test? For context, I am losing large chunks of time, some 10+ minutes, while taking sections on the practice test. Additionally, I'm currently testing with time and a half.
I'd love to hear if anyone is experiencing similar problems or has found a solution. I'd hate to leave the platform for one that functions properly. I've had a positive experience with 7Sage so far, but this is negatively impacting me on exams.
I just finished my second year of law school, and it's been an okay experience. I found the LSAT more enjoyable, and the people I met during my preparation were amazing study partners. We had so many great study sessions over Zoom, which were a lot of fun. I really miss you, my study buddies! I hope your law school experience turns out to be as rewarding as your journey with the LSAT!
So, if you are studying for the LSAT now, be sure to enjoy the LSAT and make the most of your time with your friends. Study together as much as you can.
I'm new to 7sage. My question is, when should I first start drilling? Right now, I'm on the foundations module and just started the arguments section. Also, for drilling there are so many different question categories to choose from. How did you guys select yours? If someone could just explain when and how to drill I'd really appreciate it!
Wondering if anyone else has had this issue. I have noticed that I get a far greater proportion of 4/5 level difficulty questions right while missing a lot of 2/3 level qs. This is mostly for LR!!
Most of my PTs have been mid-high 170s. I always BR and take diligent notes about why I got something wrong and I think I may somehow just still be falling for traps?? Or alternatively drifting through questions I can tell are on the easier side rather than really focusing?
But I don't know how to stop. Would love any advice if someone else has dealt with a similar situation!!
PT145 S2 Q24 "Tariffs on particular products tend to protect the small percentage of the population that works in industries that make those products while hurting everyone else through higher costs. Polls show that in fact most people oppose such tariffs. So politicians would be more likely to be reelected if they voted against these tariffs."
Wow. Just wow. LSAT writers having their Simpsons arc predicting the future from all the way back in PT145!!! Let's get some votes against tariffs like the stim says! Regardless of your opinion on the tariff situation, I think this is the most relevant LSAT question to current events I've seen in my time studying.
Hi. I almost always find that I take twice the amount of time 7sage predicts I'll need or more to truly absorb the lessons, and I need significant breaks in-between to decompress. I thought I would be able to get through the entire course quickly in the beginning, but it got difficult as it started delving into logical reasoning. I find myself feeling lucky to get through 5-15 lessons a day. How many lessons does everyone try to do each day?
Is there a good way for 7Sage to recommend specific lessons based on my practice exams or only for it to generate focused blind review?
Currently, I’m signed up for the June LSAT but am worried that I am rushing into it. I took the February LSAT and got a 160. Since then, I went back to the basics, did some studying and scored a 168 on my first PT back. However, after that I scored a 160 and a 161 and I am worried that I might be “wasting” an LSAT by doing it in June since I don’t want to take more than 3 LSATs and am considering taking it in August.
Here are roughly my pros and cons:
June
Pros: (1) would allow me to start on my applications while I wait for score, (2) would be earlier enough to allow me to prepare for the September or October one if I needed to retake, and (3) many of the errors I am making now are errors that I pick up on blind review / can increase as I get my stamina back up.
Cons: (1) potential to not increase much (wasting my second attempt) and (2) only one month more of studying to get to a consistently higher score.
August
Pros: (1) two more months of studying and potential to get more consistent, and (2) can help with confidence
Cons: (1) would limit me to taking October since I think September would be too soon (thus, applying later) (2) summer gets more complicated and I’m worried that studying might get more inconsistent, (3) probs will dedicate less time to applications.
Appreciate any thoughts and considerations!!
Hey guys, I have been blind reviewing each PT and drills. I have been hiding my original answer and trying to answer without "bias". Is this what we are supposed to do? Or does that waste additional time? Thoughts?
I have an accommodation to not have the experimental on my test (much longer story). I’ve just been doing PTs and immediately turning in the experimental part so it marks it all as wrong. However, this means my analytics are very warped because I thinks I just keep missing a section. Is there a way to exclude these from the analysis?
Thanks!
How important are internships I have never had one and don’t know what to do from here. I have been trying to get one and I have been having no luck.
Gearing up for the June LSAT and have been consistently gettin 170+ for the past 3-4 tests, highest being 175. It felt really good seeing that score and I felt pretty confident as I was taking it. This past test I took, there definitely were some harder RC passages and what I thought were 4-5 star LR questions in the first 10 questions of each section (which I know can happen but still threw me off) and to get to the top of Mt. Whatsthepoint, I ended up getting a 162, which I knew taking it, it was going to be not as good as the others, but its so demoralizing seeing that sink so far down, and checking the questions, seeing that I choked on some layups really gets to me. Just when I thought I was done making the same stupid mistakes I go and do it all over again and again. I thought I was really starting to improve until this happened and completely altered by perception of how well I think I'll be able to do on the June test (aiming for a 166-171). Would really appreciate any advice/words of encouragement on how to get over this.
