Hello,

So I wrote my test in Oct and scored a 152 and then signed up for the Jan one. Around November I started taking it seriously and in the PTs 130-140s I was consistently scoring 156-158 and BR 161-163 which was improving my confidence. However once I started the PT150s my score in every section plummeted. For RC my average per section was -9 pretty consistently where my LR averaged between -7 and -9 BRing my LR around -4 and -6 per section. I took 153 and scored a 158. 154 scored 156 and just took 156 and scored a 151.

I write the LSAT in legit 4 days and now I'm panicking cuz the RCs in the 150s are so much harder than I thought and RC was my biggest issue and bringing it down to -9 was a fight.

Essentially my question is, because the 150s are closest to the modern tests, should I expect my score to between 151 and 153? What should I do? I feel like I'm out of time.

  • Can someone please give a quick overview of how live classes are run?
  • Are there multiple live classes held each day, 7 days a week?
  • If I buy Core first, will I be able to upgrade to Live during the month and pay the difference for the upgrade? Or will I have to start a new separate subscription for Live, therefore having an overlap of two subscriptions (Core and Live)?

    Hey I am trying to decide whether to subscribe to 7sage. I am taking the lsat in 3 months and have been using powerscore, I see some improvement but not a lot because it's not personalized. What are your guys' thoughts?

    It's January test week. This is your opportunity to shine and show those law schools what you are made of. You are doing something that many people are not willing to do. You are taking a very difficult and important exam, so be proud of how much you have achieved thus far. I am nervous, I am sure you are nervous, but think of it as just another test. Do not let the pressure get to you. Block out all of the emotion and act like it's just another test. Forget the person proctoring you, watching you closely, you made it this far and you will do just fine. I have faith in you. Do not forget that a number does not define you. Don't let it define you. Whether it is your first LSAT or your fifth, prepare for that test with a positive mindset and press the submit button with pride, because on February 5th when January scores come out, you will get the score you were hoping for. Good luck everybody. YOU GOT THIS!!!

    Hi everyone! I saw online yesterday that you need an external camera if you are taking the test remotely, I'm confused by this and want to see if anyone that has taken it at home can speak on this since it will be my first time. I was planning on testing on my macbook that has the built in camera, is this not allowed?

    I was listening to a 7Sage podcast (I believe #44) and they spoke about using flashcards while studying the CC. I was wondering what I would use flashcards for and what I would put on them to help me with the LSAT. I'm going through the CC foundations right now and plan to take the LSAT in 2027, so I'm just at the start of my prep. Thanks so much :)

    Hi everyone. Just wondering if there's a way to take a PT untimed? I was working through my first PT but then had to step away and all the time for the test was lost.

    Hello everyone, I'm trying to study sections based on the Powerscore Webinar recommendations. In the recommendations they refer to 'PT155 LRII' PT 155 has three LR sections, and the first one is expermintal. Does anyone know if they are referring to S2 or S4 of PT 155, given that S1 is expermintal and S3 is RC?

    Seeing incorrect marks and red marks just feels so negative. How do you not let this get to your head? How do you remain positive when it seems like you can't? I'm starting to feel like I should give up on going to law school.

    Hi. I am planning on taking the LSAT this June of 2025. I might retake the August 2025 LSAT exam if they offer it then. I am looking to start an LSAT study group in NYC. We can meet in person in Brooklyn or Manhattan or just do most of the work online by Zoom. I plan to take 1-2 tests each week and blind review them. I live in Brooklyn Heights. Contact me on here with your contact information. Thanks!

    Roadtrip

    I will be spending a large part of my day tomorrow on the road driving back to my college. What are some possible ways to study while driving (in the safest way possible)? I was thinking podcast but I don't know which podcast I should use.

    I've been listening to the 7Sage podcast and really appreciated Henry's description of how he psyched himself up for PTs and tests. (Especially his description of looking himself in the mirror and calling himself a "logic predator.")

    I've been loving Taylor Swift's "The Albatross" as a pump-up song. The chorus ("she is here to destroy you") is my "mantra," with the content of the verses neatly lining up with some logical fallacies/traps to avoid (in particular, the lines "a rose by any other name is a scandal" and "Wise men once said 'one bad seed kills the garden.'" But there are actually a bunch of phrases in there that are amusingly relevant to LSAT prep.)

    This got me curious -- who else has a pump up song (or other media) that helps them get in the right mindset?

    Last week I posted in here asking for advice on getting worse with every PT I did (158 diagnostic, 167s after finishing lessons, to 163s and then 158 on most recent PT). After the 158 I took 3 days completely off from the test - no lessons, drills, or PTs. Rested, spent time with friends, got good sleep, enjoyed my weekend. Came back and did a PT yesterday and scored a 168, which is my highest score yet.

    I just wanted to share this as I saw several comments from others sharing similar experiences and I wanted to reiterate how important it is to rest. Taking a break let me come back fresh, focused, and less stressed after burning myself out. Especially for those taking the Jan test such as myself, it's really important to take breaks, rest, and not overdue it in this last week. It's also valuable to know that this experience is common and that these waves and plateaus can happen.

    For context, I just started studying for the LSAT for the first time ever. Do you think following 7sage’s syllabus lessons in order is best, or if there is a specific lesson that I think should be a priority, does it matter if I skip to that section? Just don't want to feel lost and regret not following the syllabus lessons chronologically later on.

    LSAT tips

    I was just wondering, what is a tip or trick that you used (or use) on the test that you found to be incredibly useful/helpful.

    Hi all,

    I've taken 14 PTs. I find I learn best through a combination of drilling and PTs. However, 7Sage uses PT content for drilling. I like this, but I'm concerned about compromising future PTs due to having answered some of their questions during my drilling sessions.

    I've started to plan which PTs I will take in the future, and selecting drilling questions only for PTs not belonging to that group of tests. The plan is to keep "fresh" PTs 111-121. As a result of this, I have been drilling from PTs in the 140s and 150s.

    However, I'm concerned about possible differences between the quality, rigor, or relevance of different PTs. This could mislead me in my evaluations of where I am at in my LSAT journey. Are some PTs more applicable to the modern LSAT than others? If anyone has any information about this, please let me know! Also, what is your approach to this problem? Have you encountered this? If there's a flaw in my approach, or an alternate method that you've found success with, also let me know!

    Any advice is appreciated- thank you

    If I struggle with the context/strategy switching from one section type to another, is there a way to practice that other than the full length tests? Like if I wanted to do a 27Q RC and then a 26Q LR, or even two RC passages and then immediately go into the first 15 LR?

    Seems like only option would be to start and not finish a prep test, but then it would mess up your analytics.
