Anyone know of a way that you can print the drills for practice when you are not able to access a computer, e.g. in the car or on a plane? I know I could print some older version of the LSAT, but I'm trying to see what options I have. Should I just get a physical prep book?
Hello,
As the title suggests, I'm giving away my LSAT books. I have a copy of LR and RC from PowerScore for the year 2022.
They have been lightly highlighted in the first chapter of each - that is all.
I'm willing to pay for shipping. All I ask is that you're willing to take both books.
Please send me a message if you're interested.
I have heard mixed responses and was wondering if anyone knew if law schools can see you have extra time. If they can, does this affect how they evaluate your LSAT score?
I find that right now I'm really trying to strengthen my weak areas through the classes and trying questions in the drills. But for certain areas like AP, theres only 60 or so questions that are in the drills, and I feel like I will exhaust them really quickly. I'm having trouble finding any alternatives :(
Hello!
I have recently started studying for LSAT. I do have a concern which I thought I might be able to get some help here. I drill different question types now that I am moving forward with learning how to approach each of them specifically, but I am worry that those grouped practice questions are drawn from the actual tests that I will be taking every week to kind of measure and track my progress. If I see familiar questions on those full length tests then my score won't be a great reflection of my progress. Can someone help with that issue? What everyone do to keep the majority of them locked for the full length practice? That would be great if I get some help with your experiences... Thanks!
I have been with 7 sage since July, 2023. Today was my last test no matter how I did it. That was my second test. At this point I am leaving you guys, and I just wanted to say you thank you! That was a long brutal journey and I grateful for your source!
Until a few days ago, I was able to see all my individual drill answers in the analytics tab and was using that information to strengthen my weak concepts. Yesterday I tried to do the same, but noticed that they are all gone from the analytics page. I know that you can also see previous drills in the actual drills tab, but then you have to go by each drill which is really inconvenient. What can I do here?
Have u guys noticed Chappell roan song titles are so close in spelling to LSAT topics ? Casual and Causal? Phenomenon- Femininomenon? 🤔 just another late night ponderance .
Hey 7sage people,
I just took the November LSAT yesterday which should be the last time I ever take the test. I wanted to take the time to write out some major take aways I learned during the 6 months I prepped for this test.
The score range that I shot for was originally the high 160s. I started out with a 153 diagnostic in May of 2024. I did not look at any LSAT material before taking that test. I studied from May until the end of this past October. I ended up taking the September, October and now November tests. Throughout this period, I took 10 PTs scoring between 153 and 166. I recieved a score of 157 on the September Test and then jumped 5 points to recieve a 162 on the October test. I'll be posting this without the knowledge of my November score.
A couple of main take aways I found
Budget more time than you think for the entire process. No one really explained the law school application process to me and I started way later than I should have. If you are in undergrad and are planning to enroll in law school the fall after you graduate, you should begin prepping your junior year, take the LSAT in the summer and then apply fall of your senior year. 7sage does not give a specific amount of time required to get the score you want but I would honestly suggest more than 6 months. I prepped 6 months but it felt more like 5 because a lot of the fundamental stuff is so far away from how the actual test feels. I saw consistent improvement throughout my PTs and actual test scores and I think if I had allotted more time I would have scored even higher.
This one is more personal preference, but I would highly suggest sitting for an actual test before you are PTing in your desired score range, and taking all of your tests at a test center. A large part of the LSAT is the mental game and no matter how many practice tests you take, you will feel anxious the first time you take the test. I would suggest sitting for an early test and getting the first time nerves out of the way. I employed this strategy for the September test and I think it really helped me on the next two tests. I also suggest taking the test at a test center to remove the stress associated with worrying about if your WiFi is going to fail, or the possibility of a computer error, and so on and so forth. The feeling of knowing that all I needed to do was show up and take the test was very comforting.
Take care of your body. The LSAT takes a lot of time and mental energy to engage with and if you aren't getting enough sleep, eating poorly and not getting exercise you are standing in your own way.
Take breaks, especially if you are in undergrad. I am not saying blow off studying for the LSAT, but one extra practice test is not more valuable than missing out on some amazing memories with friends and family. I also think that if you are hitting a wall with studying or are seeing your performance plateau, a solid break can help break you out of your slump.

1a. This leads me into my next strategy. There is an element of luck to the LSAT. Each LSAT will have a different amount of each question type and each test is curved a different amount. This means you could miss more on a subsequent test and recieve a similar score. You will come to find out that the question types you struggle with are usually solveable, they just involve a large time investment during the test. I adopted a strategy from some other 7sagers which was utilizing an exit strategy. An exit strategy is when you encounter a question stem you know you struggle with and immediately skipping it and going to the next question. I also used this strategy when I encountered a question that had a long causal or conditional reasoning chain even if I knew how to do it. This allows you to bypass a time trap and answer easier questions. I refined this strategy so much that on the novemeber test I had approximately 5 minutes to go back and look at the 5 or so I skipped and give each one a strong try.
Disclaimer: For individuals looking for advice on achieveing a 170+ or wanting to go to a T14 law school, you will probably not find useful advice here. The law school that I want to go to is the University of Alabama School of Law and I was not looking to perfect the LSAT. I am just hoping to give a few tips and some perspective on the journey because it is a huge investment and often dictates very impactful consequences. In no universe is this an exhaustive strategy for doing well on the LSAT. I would encourge everyone to look at other discussion posts on 7sage. There are a lot of great strategies and frameworks out there that could really help you achieve your goals. I want to wish everyone the best of luck whether you are trying to go to a local law school or Stanford.
Obviously all of the current prep tests include logic games, but should we skip them when practicing? What is the new timing of the LSAT now that Logic Games are no longer included? How does taking Logic Games out affect calculating scores?
I'm trying to print out some drilling sets and it looks like there is no way to do it anymore. Did 7Sage remove the printing feature or am I missing something?
Hi guys!
I was wondering how everyone takes their study notes while going through the syllabus. I have been using google docs, but I am realizing that all the pages are making me overwhelmed. Is there a physical book for 7sage that has descriptions for the logical reasoning section and tips? I think the multiple sections in the logical reasoning section is making me confused and feel lost about to take notes. Thanks!

I just began my LSAT journey and loved 7sage's curriculum. I created my study schedule that I loved and started to get into my groove, but then I was made aware that there was no Logic Games section on the LSAT anymore. When I select the option to use the syllabus for the August 2024 LSAT my study schedule gets all messed up on the website. Would it be ok for me to continue with my original study schedule and simply skip over the logic games section?
I am taking the January LSAT and it will be my first official test. I requested to take it at a testing center rather than virtually. When do we typically know if this request is granted? Do I wait for LSAC to reach out to schedule more details? The deadline for this exam registration is Dec 3rd so I have time, but I was just curious! Thanks for your help and happy studying.
I wasn't sure where the best place to put this would be, but I've been using this platform for a couple of days now, and there are some features that would smooth the rough edges of my experience:
There is already a feature that lets you create drills from questions you answered incorrectly the last time you saw them, but after completing those drills and getting those questions correct, they disappear from that list.
After taking some practice tests, I think it would be useful to be able to create drills from a bank of questions you specifically got wrong on those practice tests.
I still have months of studying left to do, and I would like to be able to set aside let's say 5-10 practice tests, so that when I take them, I have never seen a single question on that test before.
I like the web app in general, but I find using the back button on my browser does not navigate me inuitively.
To give an example of behavior I expect:
If you go to google maps, search for a location, then click the location, it brings up some info about that location. If you then click the back button in your browser, that info goes away. If you click the back button a second time, it undoes your search.
The back button nowadays is used more for navigating between states than simply navigating between different web pages.
I have a disability that prevents me from taking the LSAT on the computer.
Why did 7 sage remove the ability to print practice test?
Anyone know where I can find PDFs of practice test?
Deleted Post. Good luck!
Taking the November LSAT this week and I’m feeling the first test jitters. I don’t think my score will be anywhere near where I want it to be. However, I’m planning to retake in January. Am I setting myself for failure by doing this and applying in February? Will I automatically get rejected and/or waitlisted? Should I just wait for the next cycle?
Im not planning on going to any of the T14 schools. Im aiming for law schools with ABA accredited part-time remote programs.
Last week, with no prior knowledge of the test, I achieved a diagnostic score of 146.
This morning, I received a 156 on my practice test! I have worked my way diligently through the foundations and I am about 45% through the LR written and video lessons on the syllabus. I just wanted to share my win and give some encouragement to users on here who are feeling like they cannot learn the test. As of a week ago I had not done any studying at all, and now I intend to take the LSAT in January and apply in the 2025 cycle.
Do not let yourself get discouraged - just do the work and don't give up. 7sage WORKS and I can't wait to check back in once I've made more progress and completed all the lessons!
1-1 anyone? I am willing to add any social and work together to crack this thing!

I just logged on and everything is locked. Drills are locked, preptests are locked. Everything. Is there a bug?
Hi! I’m looking for a 1:1 study buddy who's scoring in the low 140s to work on strategies and do some questions together. I’m already working with a 7Sage tutor, but it’d be great to team up with someone at a similar level for some extra practice. If you’re interested, dm me! Thank you!
Help pls!!!
I began PT93 this morning, when I began it was 2 LR sections and 1 RC section. As I finished the third section, I noticed the 4th LG section. This is pointless for me to complete, but I am concerned that my general score will be impacted if I don't complete this section. Is there a way to change the format so that the results for the three sections (2 LR, 1 RC) I completed are graded and the 4th LG section is dropped?
It's upsetting to know that I worked through those three sections and I won't see accurate results because of the LG section. There should be work to get rid of this section completely.
