Hi!!

I feel like I am not understanding fully how to properly utilize the wrong answer journal. I dont know if this makes sense but I do not see how I will improve with it nor do I feel I know what to put on the "How can I change my process to do better on these in the future?" portion. I was hoping someone could explain to me and possible give me an example of how it has worked for them? Thank you so much!!

I have just been watching the videos so far, but I was wondering when I should start doing the practice drills with the videos? Or is it better to watch all the videos before drilling?

Your drill results should be reflected in your analytics. Potentially, they could come with a checkbox to include them, so users could continue to view analytics for just PrepTests, or decide to include the results of drills in their analytics along with the Preptests.

I find it hard to accurately judge which questions I struggle on the most since the analytics only reflect questions taken in full PrepTests. If you are getting a question type wrong in drills and right in PrepTests, why should that data be left out? Adding a checkbox to include drill results would be the best of both worlds. You can see what you are getting wrong generally, with drills and Preptests, while also still being able to see only the types of questions you struggle on in actual testing environments.

I understand that this is potentially something that could be harder to code on the site (really I have no idea, I don't know anything about computer science), but I think this could make the experience of using 7sage much better and lead to more accurate analytics if it has the option to include all the questions a user takes, whether drill or Preptest.

7sage as a learning platform and the community have helped me out so much in my own LSAT journey, so I just wanted to share a bit about that journey so others can find comfort in going through similar lows and see that it can all end up alright.

Took my diagnostic in December 2023 (with games) and got a 150 and was absolutely crushed. I'm still an undergrad and have done well in school so far, so to say that shook my confidence in my own intelligence and capacity to be a successful attorney is an understatement. I know others have started with lower diagnostics, but it was stilling crushing for me.

I did a prep class through my university from January to April that certainly helped, but even taking a lighter credit load I found I was too busy to really dedicate the time necessary to make the jump I wanted on this test. May was when the grind really started and I pulled the trigger and bought a 7sage subscription and . . . that changed everything. Drilling and actually learning how to BR/review my wrong answers for the first time totally changed how I studied. Part of the issue with my university prep class was we were never really shown how to review wrong answers, which I think is the absolute most important part of studying for this test. Within about two weeks of drilling/BRing on 7sage, my average score jumped by about 4-5 points.

I spent the rest of the summer grinding away without seeing too much progress until I saw a random decline in my scores over the course of two weeks. I ended up taking a week off from studying, which felt really counterintuitive at the time but I quickly realized was the right decision. My scores jumped back up and I felt well rested. I also broke 170 for the first time soon after, which really gave me confidence going into the test.

Which brings me to the test itself. I didn't 100% master the LSAT (inasmuch as that's possible) - I spent most of June-late July PTing around 160mid, with one blip at 170. That test, and the actual test itself on Aug 10, involved quite a bit of luck. During both tests my mind felt uncharacteristically clear and I saw through stimuli and answer choices faster and more accurately than I ever had before.

I'm happy that I got a 170 on August, but it also feels slightly hollow because I've seen so many people on this and other forums in similar spots that just got a little unlucky on the test and scored lower than their averages (I didn't get the crazy experimental LR or RC sections everyone is talking about for example). Which isn't to say that my score is only attributable to luck - it tooks eight months of grinding to build my skills to a point where I had the chance of seeing the test the way I did on August 10.

Anyways, here are what I see as takeaways from my journey others could benefit from:

Misc Info

My PT Progression: 150 (Diagnostic), 154, 156, 154, 160 (once I decided to stop studying for games), 155, 161, 161, 162 (first PT w 7sage), 162, 166!, 165, 164, 165, 166, 160, 159, 167, 170, 161, 166, 170 (actual thing).

Cheers and best of luck studying. On to the admissions grind!

I've been studying for the LSAT for a almost half a year now, and on PTs I've been consistently scoring in the high 160s. I've noticed a pattern on all of my tests where I usually do extremely well on one or two sections (talking -1/-2) and then bomb the third section. I fear that stamina and consistency are my issue more than a skill issue. Are there any tips on increasing consistency/accuracy? (especially RC which is the section I've noticed the most fluctuation in my score anywhere from -2 to -6).

Hi, I just took my diagnostic and Was looking for study buddies. Aiming for the January lsat and looking for those wanting to score a 165+

Hey 7Sagers,

I just wanted to make this post to tell everyone that there is hope for everyone to make it, including those who don't start off with a decent diagnostic score. My diagnostic score was a 137, my final (PT) score was a 156, and my final (test day) score was a 154.

I understand that this isn't a 170+ score, but I think that it's worth mentioning since it's a nearly 20 point increase.

I started studying in May of 2022 and finished in January of 2024. People say that you can't expect for your score to change much from your diagnostic, but I just wanted to say that it did for me, meaning it can and will for you too.

I self-studied using 7Sage and Loophole. I also used 7Sage Tutoring, which really helped me with RC, as that's the section I struggled most with.

I've struggled a lot with wondering if I'm good enough or smart enough for law school, and now I am a JD candidate at a Canadian law school.

If you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them.

I believe in you!

I took the June LSAT with ZERO studying and no accommodations, just to see how I would do with logic games before they were gone forever and got a 161.

I’ve completed all the lesson videos and done a handful of drills, but haven’t really had time to take an actual practice test.

I take the September LSAT this Thursday and am really hoping I don’t have to retake in November.

So I’m wondering is a 7 point jump realistic now that I’ve studied and have accommodations for time and a half?

I think as long as I get a 165 I won’t be completely crushed, but obviously I just want to be done.

I have clicked on the Section in the Test and am able to click on Printable. However, I do not get the buttoon to download a PDF version. I am taking the test on Paper and would liike to practice that way.

Hey guys, I just signed up for the November Virtual Course but can't seem to find a way to locate it on the site. Does anyone know where it is? I just paid for it :(

Hi everyone,

I'm currently scoring around the 170 area in PTs, and I'm trying to come up with ways to improve. I think the biggest issue is a mix of silly mistakes + getting wrong on the tough questions for LR. I've been taking a PT roughly every week and have been BR-ing and reviewing thoroughly. I was wondering if anyone who was in a similar position found any drilling strategies or study strategies in general effective for improving from 170 onward. Any help would be appreciated!

I’ve been stuck studying the LSAT for about 9 months now. I wasn’t preforming well the first 6 with the programs had so I switched to 7sage I’ve been PT’ing in the mid- high 140’s and definitely seen some improvement. However my goal is to break 150’s and apply in the fall. What are some tips/tricks yall have used to get you over that time edge? I have already registered for October and I plan on having that be my last exam since I’ll be working/studying for other exams.

Another concern of mine is this exam and being admitted. I’m not shooting for the stars and the schools I have are in the T100 region. I have all my other credentials in line such as a high gpa (Accounting 3.9), great LOR, and a lot of internship experience. The calculator seems to think I have a decent chance lol but was wondering if anyone has insight? Thanks.

Mainly the title but to add some context: most of the questions I get wrong I simply just misinterpreted the stimulus, whenever I watch a explanation video for a question I just didn't understand it always comes back to "I did not understand what I just read". To help with this I am actively reading on the side every day but if there is anything else I am missing please let me know. Furthermore, my analytics do not really show a pattern of question type that I am absurdly getting wrong. I have made study plans focusing on question types that I am not extremely confident with but I am wondering if I just need to take more tests or review the CC?

Hi, aiming to score 165-170 on the LSAT this October, looking for people to join a group me with me as we can help each other achieve our goals and work on drills together!

Hey 7Sagers!

My name is Jake Baska and I'm one of the admissions consultants here at 7Sage. Just FYI that I'll be doing an AMA tomorrow on the Law School Admissions sub-Reddit over here: https://www.reddit.com/r/lawschooladmissions/new/. It'll be from 11AM - 1PM Eastern. Come on by, ask a few questions, maybe give my ridiculous gif-game a kind upvote, etc.

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 feel like there's something wrong. I finished 7sage's LR curriculum, drilled, took practice tests, and I never scored higher than my diagnostic. In fact, I only scored between 157 and 162 on my practice tests preceding the official test. To be fair, I introduced BR very late to my study process. But I feel like it's odd that I didn't at least stumble into a higher score based on rote practice and familiarity.

Does anyone have thoughts about how to proceed for the October exam? Should I hunker down, focusing on PTs and blind review? Should I consider a different program? A private tutor? Stop studying and hope my intuition marinates over that time (JK)?

Hi everyone. I apologize in advance if this question has already been addressed, as it likely has, but I haven't found enough information to fully determine what I should do about the lower LSAT score I received today.

Regrettably, I have taken the LSAT 6 times this past year (this fact itself might require an addendum). Despite going overboard and being generally impatient, my trajectory has been a good one, at least until today: cancellation > 163 > 164 > 169 > 171 > 166. To my eyes, the 166 completely devalues the 171 that I had just a month before. And yet I've resolved to not cancel the score. Instead, I've been considering bringing up the drop in score in an addendum. However, I'm not confident that the explanation, reasonable as it is to me, is good enough to warrant an addendum. I was just feeling a ill the morning of the exam and my brain fogged a lot more than usual. Panic also set in when I realized that I couldn't focus on the exam at all. Alternatively, I could just not bring up the drop in score at all and to not shine any undue spotlight onto it. Mostly, I want the adcoms to know that I feel that the upwards trend truly represents my abilities, not the one blip at the end of it. But I worry that stating it so baldly without good reason might do my application a disservice. Any thoughts?

Thank you for any help you might have.

am i rushing through br? am i not flagging enough?

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 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...

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.

Hi everyone,

I've been preparing for the LSAT for quite some time. Last year, I went through a significant amount of study material and took several prep tests. After completing the application process, I decided to reapply this year, which led me to continue my LSAT prep.

However, I'm facing a challenge. The new prep tests are compilations of sections from old prep tests, which makes it challenging to find fresh prep tests. Additionally, because I’ve done a lot of drilling both last year and this year, I’m running out of fresh tests, especially from 130 downward.

Has anyone else faced this issue? Any suggestions on how to approach this situation or find more fresh prep tests? Is it worth completing prep tests although segments from sections may have been drilled previously?

I'd appreciate any tips or resources that might help me keep my prep going strong.

Thanks in advance!

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.
