I'm starting my process of getting letters of recommendation for my application, how many letters of recommendation would you guys suggest? I've heard 2 or 3 but I'm just not sure.
hey everyone,
I took my argumentative writing portion of the lsat today. I finished the actual essay. I wouldn't say it was my best work but it was okay given the time constraints. my only worry is that I had a number of typos that I wasn't able yo address before I ran out of time. is this nothing to be worried about??? should I be concerned...? should I redo it?? any suggestions would be helpful. thank you!
URM, two MA's in Middle eastern studies, one from an ivy league. GPA of 3.9 across schools, with phd level classes. 3 great recommendations, one associate professor from each school, one who doubles as a department head at the ivy league. Great story: kicked out for being queer, returned to school as a mature student, excelled and and looking to work in public interest law. Great personal statements working on them since summer 2025, had writing assessors review and edit. 2 concurrent university designated certificates, in history and regional studies specialization, 4 languages, 1 human rights certificate from CITI. Professional experience is lacking, primarily in hospitality management. Volunteer experience is good, youth mentor and student councils across schools and pre-academia. Working on publishing and getting internships in law firms before classes start.
I'm not sure if it's ok for me to ask this but does anyone have a chart guide explaining in short what to look for in the majority of cases for each question? I know this is like something general but let me give you an example.
Lately I feel like I've been doing very good in weakening questions with this "formula"
Weakening questions--> find another good explanation from the options
So, that's kind of what i'm curios about. Does anyone have some guide of that nature they wanna share ?
My average pretest score is 166. Pretest scores have been fairly consistent (165-169).
I've taken the LSAT twice now. First score 157, today's score 156. Are other people seeing a practice test discrepancy like this? So frustrating. I deleted the 157, as it was my first attempt and significantly lower than my practice test scores. But today's score is lower.
Is anyone else seeing a discrepancy like this?
What is the purpose of the feature that allows you to predict your score on practice tests and sections? Does it have a tangible impact on anything in particular?
UPDATE: We've pushed the deadline back to January 30th, 2026.

We just launched application tracking on 7Sage, and we're giving away $10,000 to get it off the ground.
The prizes:
1 grand prize: $5,000
5 runner-up prizes: $1,000 each
How to enter:
Go to My Schools and add the schools you've applied to by January 30, 2026 at 11 p.m. ET
Update your applications with decisions (interviews, acceptances, waitlistings, etc.) as you receive them
Have all your final decisions recorded by May 31, 2026
See this short video for a demo.
That's it. We'll draw winners by lottery in early June.
Why would I want to do this?
The application process is a black box. We want to shine a light inside it. This new free feature will let you see which applicants get interviewed, accepted, rejected, or waitlisted—and what happens after they’re waitlisted. It’s also a convenient way to keep track of your apps and connect with people applying to the same schools!
Note that we’re rapidly improving this feature, but we wanted to put it in front of you as early as possible.
Questions? Drop them below.
Is it possible to change the appearance of the drills to not the "test-like" mode? I remember 7sage used to have a different appearance for practice questions.
I just started studying for the LSAT, and will take it in September. My diagnostic test was a 173, and my second prep test was 168. What's the best way for me to improve my score and my consistency? Does it make sense to go through the entire 7Sage curriculum, or should I skip the basics and just focus on my areas of weakness?
Hi! Are we supposed to have completed the drill questions ahead of the Live Class? Or is the drill link there for our reference / for completion during the class?
Hello! I'm taking the LSAT in two weeks. Everyone's going to tell me this is pointless and I should just take the LSAT again in two years but whatever. I'm doing this now because I don't have a choice. Anyway, when I do timed LR sections, I'll consistently miss -10, but during the blind review, I'm only missing -5. How do I tighten this up?! It drives me crazy seeing that -5!!!
What is the official flaw name for "cookie-cutter" flaws?
For example, would this be Bad Conditional reasoning?
Hi everyone! I’m writing another discussion post because I’d really like to hear your opinions on this. I recently started the study plan on this platform and chose the accelerated path for Logical Reasoning and Reading Comprehension. I customized it so I’m working through the theory alongside the in-lesson untimed practice drills, and I’ve also been doing some additional untimed drilling on the side to make sure I’m retaining what I’ve learned.
Right now, I’m following the schedule pretty closely, but I try to get ahead when I have the time, so I’ll likely finish the theory portion earlier than expected. At the same time, I’m being careful to slow down and really understand the concepts and what to look for when answering questions, rather than rushing through the material.
My main dilemma is whether I should start incorporating timed drills now or wait until I begin my practice blocks, where the plan naturally shifts to timed practice. I’ve heard that doing timed practice too early can be counterproductive since I’m still learning the concepts and figuring out how to apply them. Introducing timed drills at this stage could hurt confidence, especially if the focus shifts from understanding the material to beating the clock. While I know timing is an important skill to develop, I’m wondering if it’s better to save that for later in the process.
When you do start the practice blocks, I’ve noticed that much of the work is timed, which makes sense because that’s when you really start to evaluate accuracy under time pressure. It also helps clarify whether missed questions are due to gaps in understanding or timing issues. That said, I’m curious to know how others handle this transition. Do you still incorporate additional untimed practice outside of the practice blocks? If so, how do you structure it?
I’m just trying to figure out the best approach here, since there seem to be mixed opinions, and I’m still working through what makes the most sense at this stage of studying.
I don’t know y’all. I am suppose to take the LSATs in April and I don’t feel confident. For some reason it’s no clicking in my head. As I do these drill questions through law hub I keep getting horrible scores and it’s becoming very discouraging. I’ve been studying a couple hours every days for the last month on top of finishing my BAS taking 3 classes this semester and I work 70-80 hrs a week. I keep telling myself if I just keep drilling then eventually it will click but nothing has. I have 2 months left to study and hopefully by April I will be ready. Pray for me y’all because I really want to go to law school. Thank you
Hi, I changed my subscription from Live, to Core .
I noticed a few questions which, I could have promised, had explanation videos now no longer have the videos . Is anyone else experiencing this?
Could it be due to the subscription change?
I have a question about Group 3 Conditional Indicators.
I'm sorry if this isn't the right way to use this. There was no option to comment on the video.
In this free video, https://7sage.com/classes/evt_0326Eqo5FmfXtA1QAeVlf2 the instructuor gives the example, "I will go to the concert, unless it is a 2 hour drive."
This maps out to be either:
/concert --> 2 hour drive
/2 hour drive --> concert
Would it also end up being correct to rephrase this and say in more basic language, "If it is a 2 hour drive, then I will not go to the concert?" It changes the mapping to:
2 hour drive --> /concert
concert --> 2 hour drive
So I'm assuming you can't and that you have to follow the conditional indicator rule of just choosing an argument negating & making sufficient, but just wanted to double check.
Thanks for the help!
JUST GOT INTO LAW SCHOOL!!
Hey! I started to study for the LSAT in mid-December. I took my diagnostic test and made a 137. I’m still going through the cc and at times I do struggle and feel defeated. What do y’all recommend me to do to bring up my score by my test in June? Thank you! 😊
I have been studying since October with 7sage. I am registered to take the LSAT in April. Is anyone else taking it in April? I may just be overthinking, but i dont feel too well about. Any tips to study? Im studying about 2 hours a day 5-6 times a week. I want to score in the 158-163 range
I hit a wall early in my prep. I logged every wrong answer religiously in the notes section. But after a month, I realized I wasn't learning; I was just hoarding my failures in a list I never wanted to look at again.
I was spending hours managing data when I should have been fixing the underlying logic flaws and rewiring my old ways of thinking. I realized that re-reading the same question wasn't helping—I was just remembering the answer, not learning the rule.
The inefficiency was driving me crazy. About 70% of my journal was stuff I had already learned from, but it was buried in with the difficult concepts I still needed to work on. I was wasting an hour a day reviewing a massive wall of text just to find the few questions that actually mattered.
I eventually built a tool to fix the workflow. It filters out what I already know and uses AI to verify I actually know the pattern of the difficult ones by generating new variations. If I got it right, it schedules review for longer. If I get it wrong, it shortens the review period so I can focus on the questions that trip me up most. I went from a 157 to a 173 in a few months, and I really think it's because I used this as a "hyper efficient" wrong answer journal to find the signal in the noise.
Does anyone else have a good system for "pruning" their wrong answer journal? Or do you just let the list grow forever, or skip out on using it entirely?
Hey guys!
I just started studying for the LSAT and want to take it in APRIL... Do yall think it's wise for me to schedule the test right now or later? I purposely haven't registered for the test yet since I read somewhere I shouldn't do that until I am for sure ready... Let me know your thoughts!
Additionally, I am subscribed to 7Sage Live. What are some tips and suggestions for me to get the MOST out of it? Currently, I am reviewing and learning the foundations. Should I be doing something else?
Thanks guysss
I am reviewing a PrepTest that I already took and for some reason the font is now wonky. It was not like this when I took the test or when I first reviewed it months ago.
There is no way for me to edit it. PT 104 Section 3 Passage 2.
I imported my practice tests from LawHub and one of them was a Blind Review. I’m having a hard time figuring out how to label this as a BR so my analytics doesn’t count this toward my regular scores. Can someone assist with this?
Hello, newb here!
Struggling with sufficient necessary, went through lesson a few times.
Do I understand this so far?
Apple---->Fruit
Apple is a sufficient condition to be a fruit
Fruit is a necessary condition to be an apple
Whats next to complete my understanding?
Thanks in advance for further elaboration and help! :)
