I just took test 39 and after several months of diligent study, I did 173 on the test. Several days ago I got a 169 and then reviewed and reflected.

I wavered off a few of the questions, but my instincts are building. I am trusting the process and using the video explanations to really advance. I am seeing the patterns in the test and how formulaic it is.

I'm a rising sophomore and I wanted to start early on studying because I have the free time and I'm paranoid that I need the time. I was wondering if I should skip the admissions portion of the core curriculum for now and come back to it later when I'm a junior where I would need it. Right now I only need the foundations, logical reasoning and reading comprehension sections for the lsat exam. Is this recommended/okay? Should I do the admissions lessons right now?

As I was trying to complete my grammar lesson 30, it stated the page wasn't found as well as the rest of the lessons on the syllabus after it? Does anyone know how to fix that?

The first practice exam I took I got a 155, which I was pretty happy about considering it was my first PT. On my second, most recent PT however, I scored a 147. Does anyone have any good study recommendations/tips and tricks? I’ve been studying a lot but I don’t understand what I’m doing wrong.

My PT exam score continues to go down 1-2 points each time I take a new one and it is very discouraging. For context, I have taken three in total with the first two being the obsolete format where I excluded logic games. The most recent I took with the 7Sage modern format. Is this normal?

I purchased my first lsat prep book in October of 2020. It was the princeton review book. Things haven't been easy, and I've used many different prep programs, but in 2023 I started to see major progress through 7sage. I've never given up. I work on the lsat every day.

Ill be 28 next month. My conception of an lsat student is someone who's like 22 or 23. What is the relationship between the lsat and someone's age? I love learning more and more about the test each day. I want to get a score in the 160s and get into my local law school. But I cant help but see, in my peripheral vision, the months fly by

Greetings everyone. I am very lost on what my best approach would be and would appreciate some advice please. I began studying around May using the LSAT trainer by Mike Kim and finished the book along with one practice test however I ran out of time on every section and scored poorly despite having a good grasp on how to approach most questions. The schools I am planning to apply to would prefer that I write my first LSAT before the November deadline and therefore I plan to write the October LSAT and if needed, a second one in January. I am currently working through the 7sage core curriculum. For the next two months up until October I plan to dedicate all my time to the LSAT. I am able to dedicate 7-8 hours everyday (around 49+ hours a week to the LSAT) however I do not know what the best approach is to make the most of these 2 months. Before I do practice tests I know it is recommended I finish the CC however due to my previous studying I was wondering if it would be smart to begin practicing them soon. I also heard that drilling is good and was told it may be a good idea to practice timed sections and drills daily such as LR or RC before I move on to practice tests. IF I were to drill daily, would it be smarter to use older LSATs to not waste newer ones for actual practice tests? With 2 months remaining and the deadline approaching for booking the October LSAT I am extremely worried and would appreciate any advise and guidance towards actionable steps to take to do my best come October or worst case January.

Hello fellow 7sagers! I just finished what I'm 70% sure was flopping on my final test, and I'm ready to cut my losses. I wanna feel like something came out of this process (besides making my brain massive), so I cleaned up my notion notes/study template and am donating it to the public to hopefully save other people the time.

Good luck to everyone!

Do you use the highlighter tool in the digital tester? Do you always use the same colors to highlight premises and conclusions? If so, then boy is this the poll for you!

We're working on a new feature for our explanation pages, and your input will help us make it better for you. Please respond to the poll, the comments, or both.

Bonus question for the comments: what do you highlight?

I just finished my first practiced test after finishing the 7sage CC. I have yet to blind review it but I feel insanely discouraged after finishing it as I missed a lot of questions in each section and honestly forget most of the stuff I learned. This is my second crack at the LSAT as well, any tips on how to move forward?

Edit: Thanks to everyone who commented, it made me feel a lot better before I blind reviewed and I ended up getting a 164 on my BR!

Hey 7Sage, I was wondering what happened to the print feature on the drilling page. I usually print out passages and do them during work or when traveling to and from. It is a good way to practice when I don't have access to the internet but now the function is gone even on the older version. Will this be brought back? This was one of the best features of the course compared to all other paid courses available

Wondering if anyone has had this experience: I started studying for this test seriously around mid-June, and plan on taking it in September. My diagnostic score was 164 (after light question practice, untimed; I was working a lot, wish I could have done more), and since then I have taken a few more, whenever I'm feeling it. Tbh, I'm taking longer breaks than I should be (stopping this now as I get closer to test), but my score itself has not improved at all: 164, 165, 164, and, most recently, 163. I'm reviewing questions, seeing why I got things wrong, and right...but alas. However...my blind review scores have gone like this: 169, 169, 178 (!), 173. So, in other words, I have consistent improvement on blind, and none on timed.

I guess my question is: How on earth can I improve my timed performance? It's one thing to know I "have the answers in me" when I have enough time...but I'm struggling on the actual thing. Moreover, not infrequently have I changed correct answers to incorrect answers on blind review, which seems to be a problem.

Wondering if anyone has had a similar experience. I have a month until I take this thing, and I'd really like to make 172+. I know it's possible, but...yeah, how do I fix this? HOW DO I LOCK IN???

I'm going through the syllabus and I don't know how I'm supposed to study. Should I perfect each question type before I move on, or should I move and go through the whole thing and then begin focused review.

Sometimes I don't know when it's time to move on.

I hate this test. It's so so hard. T-T

I feel helpless.

Is there anyway to print out the drill sets? Reading off a computer screen doesnt allow me to engage as much as I can on a piece of paper. I find myself doing alot better on paper than on a computer.

I'm confused on my progress. The last few PT's I've taken over the course of a month have all been in the high 150s, so I've started to switch up my approach and purely drill for the past week. LR is my worst section, so I've been prioritizing that. Yesterday I took 3, 10 question randomly-generated LR drills and got 26/30 correct. I was very pleased with that. Today, however, I got only 17/30 correct. All the drills randomly generated were between 25%-35% expected incorrect.

I'm not sure what to do at this point. My diagnosis score 3 months ago was a 146, and since then I've only gone up 10 points or so and have not seen any improvement in over a month. I'm feeling a bit stuck here as my PT's are remaining in the same range, and my drills go really well one day, and not so well another day. Any advice would be much appreciated as I am feeling very discouraged and lost at the moment. Thanks!

Who's ready to crush this test?? We've put in the work and now it's time to sit back, relax, and enjoy the show. Note down some words of self-encouragement or if you're not taking it yet, give us August test-takers some hype!!

In the new LR curriculum, JY mentions the importance of thinking about the mode of reasoning before going into the answer choices. I know the basic modes of reasoning that we covered in depth (part to whole, cost-benefit, etc) but later in the video lessons, he mentions specific ones (trade-offs, unintended negative consequences, interdependence) that he only touches on when discussing the answer choices. For the harder questions with less common modes of logic, I find myself struggling with putting these modes of reasoning into words which makes it harder to see flaws/analogous arguments, so does anyone have any resources that can help me get familiar with them? Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone,

I am currently asking professors for LORs, and am a little worried. My classes are all online, and I'm worried that the professors may not take LORs as seriously as they would if we were in a traditional classroom setting. So far, I've asked two professors, and they both said they would be glad to do it, but one hasn't responded to my follow-up email from a few days ago, and I'm worried that she may have just forgotten about me or changed her mind. Any advice on how to stay in touch with these professors via email without bothering them?

Hi, I just started studying with 7sage.

I tried to use keyboard shortcuts (spacebar & k) to pause the video, but it doesn't work.

Searching Google got me nowhere. Plz help me, it is more uncomfortable than i thought to pause it using the mouse every time lol

FYI, I use Chrome, and I tried all 3 kinds of video players on settings but still not working. (also tried update to current version & restart)

I think it's just me tho ... seems like no one on the reddit & discussion experienced the same.

Is there anything else that i can try?

Thank you

I wanted to take a preptest, and I didn't realize I was under the obsolete format category of preptests. LG was the very last section. I just skipped the section. However, I haven't done blind review yet because I feel like my actual score is going to much lower / my data in analytics is going to be off since I skipped an entire section. I know I can manually input the #correct/#incorrect to see what I actually got, but is there any way to avoid it screwing up the analytics portion? Or is it not really going to mess with it since LG is gone?

Hello, I am kinda late to this process and I took a diagnostic test and scored a 135 and my goal is to get a 155 on a LSAT and I am planning to take it in October or November. Any tips and strategies that could help me. My weakest part is Reading comprehension.
