So I’ve been using 7sage for a few months now, since August. While using it, I was scoring 153-158 in between those scores, and my blind review has been on the higher end in the 156-158 range. I decided to try the LR Loophole just to give myself a new perspective and i was only studying that this month and I thought it would’ve helped, but I just took a practice test and score a 151. I feel extremely discouraged, and that I wasted my time but I also think it could be that it was a lot of material that I covered this entire month and I neglected reading comprehension. I was planning on taking the January test with a goal of 160+ but now I’m not so sure. Does anyone know how to deal with this and what to do to improve? Also, should I still take the January exam with my goal score or push it to February but I think it’ll be too late for applications? I think I’m just going to switch back to 7sage because I was doing better.
What are the differences between these classes, and what score range is recommended to sign up for advanced rather than fundamentals?
Hi everyone,
I wanted to share my LSAT journey in hopes of encouraging others, especially those balancing life’s many challenges.
I took my first diagnostic in Spring 2023 and scored a 144 (Logic Games absolutely crushed me). My circumstances were unusual—I had been released from prison in 2022 after nearly a decade. While studying, I was juggling multiple jobs, full-time school, volunteer work, and rebuilding my life.
I started with books and Khan Academy before purchasing 7Sage when I could afford it. Without a clear plan, I meandered through the syllabus and struggled to balance studying with life. In June 2023, I scored a 154—lower than my practice test average.
Over the summer and into Fall 2023, I studied sporadically without structure, focusing too much on timed practice tests rather than mastering the material. In October, I scored a 158, applied to schools, and was waitlisted at two great ones. Inspired by these experiences, I decided to retake the test after graduating college in May 2024.
In July 2024, I started fresh with a more systematic approach:
By the end of this cycle, I averaged 164-168 on PTs and scored a 169 on test day.
I’m in my early 30s, married, working, attending religious school, and volunteering. Reaching this score came down to discipline, completing the syllabus, and mastering strategies.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, know that improvement is possible with the right plan and mindset.
Feel free to ask any questions—I’m happy to help!
Hey all,
I am currently signed up for the January LSAT. Recently, I've been stuck at the mid 150's score range for PTs, and I was wondering if you all had any tips that could get you out of a rut? I am aiming for 160+. Currently, I am just using the drill builder and attacking it from there..
Thanks!
Happy Thanksgiving
I got a 169 and have already gotten several A's from schools... so far no WL or rejections so fingers crossed! I went from 157 to 169 over a LONG period of time (I'm just a slow learner and was working a little more than full time while studying). Not many scholarship offers in yet ( several schools are saying that comes later? not sure how this all works. I'm first gen)
Thank you to 7S for their incredible answer bank and tutorials on games.
Thanks to all the commenters who left their approaches underneath the videos. With your help I'm gonna be able to graduate law school with much less debt -- who knows, maybe even none-- than I ever imagined.

Hey so I'm planning on taking my first preptest since my diagnostic, and I was wondering if I would be able to import the diagnostic results I took on LawHub into 7sage for the analytics?
I tried looking at reddit and google and couldn't find anything
Are any of you planning to apply this cycle with your Jan LSAT score? I’m up in the air because while I really don’t want to wait around another year, I’m not sure I will get the best scholarships I’m wanting/the highest chance of admission, yet my dream school’s ‘ideal’ deadline is March 31st, with a final deadline in June.
Any opinions appreciated. I’ve been listening to a lot of ThinkingLSAT and I feel like I am talking myself out of applying this cycle, even though I’ll be well within the timeframe that the school gives.
Anyone in the area looking to study together for the upcoming exam?
So I just made a custom drill of PT 130 S2 with all the RC passages in it and I'm currently reviewing my answers. I have attempted this section before. After getting my results I would click "Ques" under the Explanation tab on the right hand side, but I'm noticing a discrepancy between the drill results and the questions listed under the explanation video as there are results under there too. For example, in the drill review results it's indicating I missed Q5, but upon opening the explanation video the results under the video says I got that question right. And it's happening for a few other questions. I'm unsure if this is an actual problem or if it's just showing me the results from the last time I drilled this section? I can't tell as neither of them are dated. It's confusing me as even the timing report differs for example, in the drill it states I picked an answer within 18 seconds and the explanation video says it took me 47 seconds. Are these just results from two different dates of taking the same drill?
I cannot complete any drills that I've started and review the results.
Check marks showing progress in my syllabus have disappeared as well as the option to eliminate answer choices in drills. This hasn’t happened to me before. Any advice?
Hi, just wondering if this is happening to anyone else or if this is a me problem? The buttons seem to be missing on the practice windows - the drills and preptests. Both on the actual practices and on the review page. Like they are still there, you can click on something, but the icons are missing so you have to guess where to press.
Anyone else not able to see the buttons to cross out an answer or submit their answer to see if it's right? I've tried refreshing a bunch and nothing is working.
Hi Guys, Im looking to start a group for people who are taking the february LSAT and are looking for others who want to help keep each other accountable and have people to talk about the test about. I know this can be a very isolating process but I'd love to create a group of extremely motivated an ambitious people who can all help each other and motivate each other to do great on the test.
So here is how I feel about it without revealing too much info. I took the Nov 9 LSAT.
The RC was very very hard. I seriously panicked because I was running out of time. Was kinda happy tbh, to hear so many struggled with the same one I did... it included the section about invasive plants.
I am however a bit scared to see my score. For some strange reason I actually thought the 3 LR sections were super easy... Like to the point that I had 5 min remaining in some to review the ones I struggled with. This has made me feel like maybe I screwed up.
I did just start studying again for the January exam and have been drilling with LR and I am noticing that out of 20 questions I am only missing like 2 or 3... So maybe I am just actually doing well?
Anyone else feel the same about the logical reasoning? Feel free to vent and just share. Nice to know one isn't alone in this.
I understand the point of knowing logic, but I have already taken a formal logic class. Now that LG is not included and it is only LR, should I rather focus on the modules for each type of LR question, rather than logic as a whole?
Hey chat, just here to vent.
I'm just feeling discouraged. I feel like my brain is not making the connections needed. I know its a learning curve, but this learning curve is effing steep. I work a 8-5 and alongside from going to the gym, college and personal responsibilities, I tend to study for an 1hr - hour and a half a day for what is usually 4-6 days a week.
I took it for the first time in April of 2023 and got a 143 on the first exam (I only gave myself 2 months to study back then... a bit delusional on my end). I procrastinated and was doing studying on and off until I started to be consistent in September of this year. I feel like mentally I have gotten nowhere for the exam (besides having MC & a bit of MSS questions down).
I know this exam isn't impossible to learn and I can do it, but I just feel like the consistency I put in isn't giving me the results I'm seeking. It might just be mental exhaustion on my end since I only have time to study after 8 or 9pm. How does anyone else deal with discouragement from the LSAT? I plan to apply next cycle and I pushed my test date from February to April earlier this week (maybe that's also feeding into the discouragement? lol).
Any advice is appreciated (3(/p)
I wanted to know if it would be a great idea to go through logical reasoning then go back to the foundation sections of the logic section of foundations? I am currently done with most of the log sections and only have logic of causation, but I am still confused about the logic portion. I will go back through it and see what I am missing. I find it might be easier to loo at those sections and figure out what it is like since its stuff that I will see on the test.
Hi! I have been constantly scoring 149-152 for a couple of weeks. My goal is anywhere from 160 and up. I study pretty consistently and take a day off every now and then. I finished all of the study schedule on here and also did the Loophole LR book. I am missing 9-12 questions on each section almost everytime and don't know how I can change my studying to see improvements. Right now I have just been doing drills on my most missed categories but that is not helping me that much. Any tips are greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Hello everyone! I’m new to 7Sage, and I’d love to know which instructors you would recommend or enjoy.
hii im currently looking for a study buddy or study group to motivate each other and help learn new ways to approach problems! im in the pacific time zone, don't have discord and taking the january lsat. looking forward to connecting w you!
Feeling discouraged after October test results were lower than scores on PTs. Advice for how to start studying again and improve for January or February test? Is it possible to improve score by 10 points in that timeframe?
I am scoring 145-150 right now. I would love to study 1:1 and keep each other accountable.
I have discord and I can also meet on other platforms like zoom.
Is working as a paralegal before law school guaranteed to provide more satisfaction with the law school experience than someone who just goes in without having worked in a law firm or any type of legal work? can someone break down any misconceptions about this or speak on if working first in the field is smarter than someone who does not?
