Hi! Im a current full time student with a job and needed advice on a study schedule. I plan to study for around (6months. How much do you recommend I study per week? 10-15 hours?
Also, how many Horus of studying a day do y'all recommend? I can probably fit 5+ hours on a weekend but not sure if this is productive.(/p)
(Disclaimer-I am not actually Chappell Roan)
Anyone down to go over PT 152 Section 1 #14-25 ish today? Or if you wanna join my discord group here's the link: https://discord.gg/jrVHpuGb
Let's get this bread
I have a completed writing sample on file from the June 2024 LSAT and am planning to take the October LSAT. I confirmed with LSAC that I do not have to complete the Argumentative Writing sample since I have a writing sample on file already, but I'm wondering if this will hurt me in any way during the application cycle? Is it better to complete the Argumentative Writing sample since I am taking the new version of the LSAT or does it not really matter?
Hi everyone,
I'm just looking for some advice for an optimal study schedule. Any tips are appreciated.
Please keep in mind i currently work full time and have a 2 year old toddler.
Thanks in advance,
Lily
Hey 7Sage fam,
I just finished the core curriculum, and it felt like a big accomplishment! It took me three months, and things were starting to click in the lessons and drills. Then yesterday I started taking on some real sections, only to do considerably worse than before I started studying three months ago. Before studying at all, I was getting -6-7ish on LR sections, and now I'm at almost double that...help! Is this normal? What am I doing wrong? I really hope this is normal and I didn't waste 3 important months of study time :(
For the past two drills, every time I select an answer choice for the last question in the drill set, it doesn't save. So when I go to Blind Review, it appears as unanswered. #help
Does the study schedule they give us in the 'learn' tab include drills? If not, when do they expect us to do the drills? After each topic or at the end of the week or when?
Got my score back two days ago, and it was about 8 points lower than I was hoping for (165 vs 173). I signed up to take the November LSAT, but trying to figure out the best way of studying when I don't know which questions on the official test that I got wrong is really frustrating. I struggled with one of the LR sections, so I'll be going through the CC for LR again, but any other advice is appreciated! I was scoring much higher during PTs, even having ample time left over, and don't know where to go from here studying-wise, especially since I am in my senior year and have a full-time job on top of that.
ANY advice, whether it's about studying following a lower score, or scheduling time to study when you absolutely only have PT- time on the weekends is appreciated!
Any advice for plateaus? Should I get a tutor?
I am plateauing in the mid 160’s on average, although I have several practice test scores at 167, 168 and even 170.
I can’t really find a pattern in what questions I am getting wrong except that they are generally 5 star questions.
I have tried to simply drill the hardest level of each question type thinking that would help, but it hasn’t, even though I’ve been doing well on the drills.
If I dont know what to work on, I dont know how to get better. I’m super frustrated 😩
Taking the test in November with goal score of 168+. What can I do?
Thanks in advance.
Hello everyone,
I just finished the CC and I am starting the process of consistent drilling and PT's. I have done 3 so far and I have only done cold starts. As a result I spend the first three to five minutes of every test staring at the very first question trying to figure out what the hell it says. Definitely time for a change. With that in mind, does anyone have preferred warm up routines that work for them? Any findings from your own studying on what is most effective for warm ups?
Please let me know!
Looking to build a little stamina come test day and so took two 3-section PT's back to back this week, 6 sections in total. Has anyone else tried taking more than 4 sections in the same day and seen any improvement in their score because of it? What is the most sections you have taken back to back before?
hello,
I'm just here to vent. I started seriously studying for the LSAT in july of this past summer and took a diagnostic and after months off and scored a 139 on the diagnostic. Looking at the analytics of that PT it was an overall more challenging PT so I guess it makes sense. But despite doing literally everything right I am not improving at all. I'm a Canadian student and our applications are due nov 1 and i plan to take the october LSAT next week. However, I'm averaging a 149/150 and the highest I've scored in a timed PT is a 152. In an untimed test highest I've scored is a 156. My GPA is already considered pretty low so if I want to get into any law school it's dependent on my LSAT score. My original goal was a 158 or best case scenario a 160. But it seems like it's just not in my potential. I was planning on rewriting in January too but I don't think that'll help me chances as I already pushed it from August to October because in August my PTs were 147, 146, and 152 I thought I could realistically improve to a 158. It seems as though I can't do any better than 150 and Idk what to do about it. I've decided to apply to 1 law school in Ontario that doesn't have a minimum LSAT or GPA but its just devastating accepting the fact that I won't do better than I am now so matter how much time I give myself. For context I only have 1 class a week to finish my undergraduate degree and only work part time 3 days a week so I dedicate 2-5 hours of studying a day on LSAT prep.
Considering this is the case, should I even bother to write it in January or apply to the 1 school I have in mind and accept I'll be going to a school I don't particularly want to go to? Or should I just give up on law school and leave it be?
Thanks
Hi everyone!
I am taking the November LSAT & want to improve my score, but I am struggling between classes, work, and my internship this semester to find time to take multiple full-length practice tests per week. What do y'all recommend I should do instead? Drills? Videos? I'm open to all advice!!! Thank you!

This morning was pretty devastating. I took the June LSAT without any studying and got a 161. Then I retook it in September after completing about 100 hours of studying and literally got a 162.
I felt like I really saw improvements in my understanding and application. So is this the best I can do?
Hey guys, how long do you guys spend when learning a section of LR. I feel like I take weeks learning a new topic before moving on to the next one. Any tips will help? Crying here at Starbucks while trying to study. I feel like I am taking way too long to understand something. Thanks!!
For example, to understand RRE questions, its taking me like 3 weeks and counting.

Hi, I am having a really hard time understanding the set up for the drills. Is there an easier more user friendly interface ? Can the drills be randomized ?
I just got my results for my September LSAT and I scored lowered than I had on the practice exams. I was scoring in the high 160s prior to the exam and I got a 159 on the official LSAT. I stopped studying after I took my LSAT to continue my job and prepare for school. Would it be too difficult and short of time to take the November LSAT? I will also be attending school and I would only have one month to prepare. With attending school, I am slightly concerned my studying may conflict with studying for my midterms. I want to get my applications out early so I am worried if I take a later LSAT, my chances will deter. I am also planning to graduate this year, so would it be better I take a gap year? I am also concerned I will not be able to fill up the time during the gap year. Overall, I am just looking for some advice regarding if taking the November LSAT seems feasible in my condition. Thank you!

Hey 7Sagers,
The September score release has arrived. Once you receive a score, it can be difficult to determine exactly how it fits into your law school aspirations- especially when you're on the fence about cancelling!
We'll be featuring a free session led by one of our Admissions Consultants to help you interpret your score on two different dates:
🍪 These classes are open to all users.
⚠️ You must register in advance.
I was wondering if anyone here has dyslexia? I have pretty bad dyslexia. Whenever I read words begin to look like mush and my brain can’t process words the same way someone without dyslexia can. I was wondering if anyone here has dyslexia and if there is anything you do / take that helps with it.

Hey guys, I'm loosely following the LSAT Trainer's scheduled recommendations for PTs and Drill Set. I know I can take the Drill Sets on LawHub, but I would prefer to have my metrics recorded on 7sage for later analysis. I understand that I can generate new Drill Sets on 7sage, but is there any way I can take the LawHub drill sets on 7sage as well?
Hi everyone,
I took PT 123 last night and noticed that all the passages were in the 1-2 difficulty range. I received a good score on the test, but now I am wondering if it is a little inflated? This would be a 5 point improvement since my last PT 3 weeks ago, so I also think I could have just got better.
Is this not a concern because of how the conversion works?
TIA!
Does anyone have an experience of testing in-person with ADHD accommodations (i.e. extra time)? I am worried I will get to testing center and somehow my test will not have accommodations or the proctor won't be aware if that makes sense
