Hi everyone,

The whole time I’ve been studying for the LSAT, I was under the impression that once my accuracy was good, my speed in answering questions would just fall into place. My blind reviews and untimed practice tests have increased to the 174-177 range, but my practice test scores are stuck in the 164-169 range! I feel like I understand the material decently now, but that I’m stagnant in my actual test performance.

I’m super frustrated and I’m wondering if maybe I’m just too inherently slow, which is super demoralizing. Has anyone else faced this issue?

I'm taking the September LSAT, and at this point in my studying I'm just starting to feel a little paralyzed. I'm not sure where to focus my energy during the last couple of weeks, and I want to make sure I'm not burning myself out or trying to cram too much. Does anyone have advice on how they prepared in the direct leadup to their exams?

I was looking at the difference between version 1 and version 2 of the curriculum. Both versions look very different in terms of how LR and reading comp is studied. Should I use version 2 to study? I have been using version 1 to study so far.

I tried to restart my computer, clean website cookies, log out...etc and this problem still exists. Also I noticed on some questions I've taken before, the explanation link shown me the length of time spent on that Q from the last time I took it and is not up-to-date. Not sure if it's my account problem only or not, badly need these insightful comments back...

Update: these sessions have finished, but recordings of all three are available below.

Hey 7Sagers,

The August score release is just around the corner. Once you receive a score, it can be difficult to determine exactly how it fits into your law school aspirations- especially when you're on the fence about cancelling!

Following score release, we'll be featuring a free session led by one of our Admissions Consultants to help you interpret your score on three different dates:

what is the best level to practice on to fully prepare for the lsat? I have been using the medium level and I am taking the test in September.

Hey everyone,

I am taking the LSAT in September. I have been studying for about two and a half months by now. Since the beginning of August my studies have been more "serious." I have been doing two practice tests & review a week, and timed sections (usually on "target time," which is typically around 30-32 minutes for the recent PT's) from other practice tests on the days in between. My PT scores during this time range from 162-169 (the mean is around 166), my BR scores range from 170-177 (probably average is around 174), and in my timed sections I typically miss between 0 and 4 for each section on RC and LR.

My concern is that my PT scores tend to be lower than my timed section scores. Occasionally I will do very poorly on a single section in the PT, because I get overwhelmed, tired, confused, or frantic during the test. Sometimes I feel this is due to some general burnout, and sometimes this happens because of a perceived lack of time on my part. For example, on my most recent test I got -2, -4, and -8 on the scored sections, and on that last one I ended up running out of time and more or less guessing during the end. On the Blind Review, which I start within an hour and a half or so following the PT, I am able to see the answers clearly.

I'm aware of the issues, but I'm not sure how to safeguard against them when the real test happens. If anyone has any tips regarding stamina (also regarding burnout), I would love to hear them.

When reviewing LR questions I got wrong, I like to use the wrong answer template to help me review and identify why I chose the wrong answer and why the correct answer is wrong.

But I never know what to write for the part of the wrong answer template that asks, "How do I change my process to do better in the future".

What would be an example of a concrete lesson or feedback to oneself that someone can write in for this part of the template? I usually write vague feedback. For example on one of the questions I was reviewing I wrote, "pay attention to sufficiency/necessity confusion". But I don't think that's concrete enough.

Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

Does anyone have advice on how best to use my remaining 15 clean practice tests and move forward with studying for the October LSAT?

Can anyone speak to whether or not performance in the experimental sections is a good / better indicator of performance on the LSAT?

I have been studying for the LSAT since June and I've been putting a lot of hours in (between 15-30 hours a week). I will take one LSAT in September (my first) and one in October.

I have 15 clean practice tests left. My scores are generally trending in the right direction, typically 165-167 with 170 on the blind review. (Target score is a 170 or higher).

I am concerned that my practice test scores are skewed by me remembering answers to questions I've already done or seen. I routinely get -3 on the LR sections which include questions from the curriculum, but between -5 and -8 on the experimental sections which don't seem to have questions included in the curriculum. I also spent a few weeks burning through drills which resulted in 25 untaken practice tests which each have over 30 questions that I have seen.

To be clear, I have 40 untaken practice tests remaining, but ony 15 that are clean. I have only taken the modern prep-tests and none of the obsolete tests.

Hi lovely people! I am taking the LSAT in October, and I just scored a 150 on my PT after studying consistently since May. I always struggle much more on one of the LR sections over the other, and I recently started paying attention to RC more as well. If you have any study tips please send them my way. I really want to break the 160s before taking the Oct LSAT. Thank you!!!

Hi!

I recently took a PT, and the score I got plus the questions I got correct are different from what the score would be with the questions I got right based on the calculate score/percentile page.

Ex:

Takes practice test, gets 52 correct and the score is a 156 but on the calculate score/percentile page says that would be a 158

I am just confused as to which my score would be because two points are a lot in my opinion.

I hope this makes sense!! Thank you :))

I have been studying for months now after taking my LSAT in June and i got 7stage after that test. Ive been following the syllabus, blind reviewing and watching all the videos of ones i got wrong and didnt really understand and im scoring on my two practice test a 142 and 146. I got a 146 on my exam in June and i just want to break 150s for my next exam in October. Im not sure what im doing wrong but i really need help and if anyone has advice that would be greatly appreictaed

Hi,

I'm wondering how I would go about drilling a full section of LR/RC without using a preptest. This answer has been answered a couple of years ago and it seems like the method/UI has since changed on 7sage. Would I just up the drill size to 25? Would that give me an accurate distributions of 1-5star questions? Need some #feedback #help

Hi all! I'm looking for a study buddy/ group study in western mass. If you're interested, drop your IG/discord/slack (wtv) @. :)

Hi everyone!

I'm currently registered for the October LSAT. I've been studying on and off for about 2 months now and I started focusing more last month. I'm currently studying around 5/6 daily. However, I still don't feel confident and/or comfortable with the material. Do you think I should reschedule it for November? Or should I just take it both October and November (I don't mind doing so). Is it enough time to build more confidence and get more comfortable with the test?

I also would love to join/open and study group!

In this, the slash / is used as a symbol for negation, but isn't the symbol for negation ¬

Please tell me if I'm wrong or correct?

Is there a way that I can take 2 sections of a PT and br and then take the next two after and br those. I don't like how i have to do all 4 sections before BR because as of right now i am trying to focus on accuracy not timing. Will i just have to make a drill with the two sections and do it that way? or can i make a practice test like that sorry if this is a dumb question

I’ve been studying for the LSAT since the end of May, I’m taking the September and probably November LSATs, but right now the last thing I want to do is sit down and drill and go through problems and practice tests. I know I’m burnt out but I need to raise my scores, does anyone have advice on how to deal with this?

I don’t know if anyone else this issue but everytime I open the app the landing screen is a blank white screen. I don’t know if this happens to everyone or if there is anything I could do but is there a way that I can configure the settings such that the Home Screen appears instead of an all white / black screen I need to click back on?

hey everyone! I have been studying consistently for about a month and a half and get really sick from stress. I was bumping my score but I entered a stage where whenever I look at the screen I feel tired and nauseous. Worst part is my Pt score and drill scores have gone down too. What can I do?

7sage why do i keep making new reading passage drills that i recognize from the past???? thats so annoying

I am signed up for the September LSAT, I had originally planned to take the October LSAT but since I won't know my official score until just a couple weeks before the October test, I figured I should wait and take the November LSAT instead so I have more time to study. I am planning on applying for Fall 2025 so applications are either already open or are opening soon. Will waiting to submit my applications until after the November LSAT affect my applicant status/chances for scholarships/chances for getting into a school at all?

Hey all, I wanted to just come on here to talk about the importance of taking your darn breaks while studying for this test.

I think a nice thing about the LSAT is that it is a skill-based test. Taking a break will not hamper your ability to improve.

I started studying early this year, started in March and took the test in June. I'm not qualified or anything but I can attest to the importance of giving your brain room to absorb the skills based on my own experiences. I went HARD in my studying in May - I'm talking waking up, going directly to my desk to study, break to eat, study until 1 am, sleep, repeat. My life was the LSAT and, as expected of a human being, I got extremely burnt out. I would stare at questions bored out of my mind. Never broke the 150s despite my hours of studying. Got a 160 on my test in June. Not a bad score though it was not my goal score and I knew that I had it in me to do better.

June passed, I did not study. July passed, I did not study. I didn't TOUCH anything LSAT related. Sat down to do a practice test in August, I'm began breaking into the 160s. I didn't study at all for two months, yet I feel as though something unconsciously clicked in the time that I took to allow my brain to breathe. I come into studying with a completely different understanding of the test, it's a strange sensation that I cannot adequately explain. Those two months helped more than the month I took shoving practice down my throat.

That said, should you take two months off blindly in an attempt to increase your score? No. What I am hoping to emphasize is the importance of pacing yourself. Give your mind the time to absorb the skills you are learning. Let things marinate, if you will. Cramming study time into your schedule without adequate rest periods will not help and it's so important to set limits and boundaries. This is a life changing test, sure, but it should not absorb all of your time and energy.

Wishing the best for you all on your LSAT and Law School journeys (3(/p)

I have been studying for the past couple months for the September LSAT. My last three PT's have been in the high 150s and I am so close to breaking 160. However, I am stressing/feeling discouraged because the test is in three weeks. Any advice on the most helpful ways to study between now and then? I am currently reviewing missed questions on my PTs, drilling, and doing a wrong answer journal. Hopefully next PT will be better?

Can someone explain how to study with 7 sage now that the LG is removed, how should I follow the study plan?
