Pretty self explanatory. Made it halfway all the way through V1 foundation and half way through LR before I just decided to switch. Going through V2s foundations and so far it's repetitive info. Considering there is almost 3x as many foundation lessons though, debating whether to go through them or go right into LR. Those who switched after doing V1s foundations, did going through all of V2's help?

Hey everyone!
I'm studying for the April and June LSAT and was curious to know what type of study schedule worked best for people to prepare for the exam. I have studied a bit on and off for about 3 months.
Hello!
I have been considering law for almost 15 years now. I wanted to study political science and then go law school but due to family circumstances, I wasn’t able to. I had to go for civil engineering and get a job right after.
I graduated in 2017 with a civil engineering degree with a GPA of 3.43 from a state school. Worked since 2017 until now and also pursued a masters in engineering management from UCLA with a GPA of 3.85.
I am looking to start studying for the LSAT and hopefully go to law school like I have always wanted. But I am 30 years old now. Which means I will start law school in Fall 2025 and I will be 32 then.
I wonder if I still have a chance.. and if folks have gone through experiences like this. I am looking to push to get into a T14 but not sure if that train has passed for someone like me. I hope my professional of experience of over 6 years along with my science degrees would help.
Would love if folks can share if they went thru something similar. Thanks!
Hello,
I have been studying for the LSAT on and off and without much discipline over the last year and raised my score from a 146 to 158. I plan to take the LSAT in June 2024 and I need to score very high in order to get into good schools and get a good scholarship since my GPA is low for most of the law schools im interested (after this semester it will most likely be 3.4, 3.5 if I am lucky). I know this may be too broad of a question to ask, however I wanted to know what other people here think. Would it be possible to increase my score to a minimum of 175 from 158 ND in just 4 months (I know that is a hard score to get but I am willing to put in the hard work)?
Thank you. (And please dont sugar code it, give it to me straight 😂)
It would be really helpful to be able to add a RC or LR section to a preptest in the August 2024 format, to simulate the actual 4 section test. Right now there is no solid way to take a 4 section test in preparation for August 2024.
Interested to hear thoughts on this matter of a real struggle I am having given what I think is now a 28-year track record on the LSAT. I am coming to the conclusion; Law School will not be a reality if the LSAT is a true measure of success and ability in law school.
In college in the mid-90's I took the much-acclaimed Kaplan, took the LSAT in 1996 and scored a 143. I decided to forego law school and embarked on a corporate banking and ultimately a law enforcement career, from which I will retire this year. In 2022, I decided to reconsider law school, and signed up for 7Sage in February 2023. I have been studying on the site for a year now. My LSAT practice tests all have been in the 140's, and only once did I break 150 on blind review. I just completed a practice test (in the August 2024 mode without the logic games) to see where I was at and scored 138. After careful and thoughtful blind review, I scored 146.
I am never one to self-loathe so that is not the point here, but it just seems the LSAT has been a guaranteed measure of where I am at on this test, both then 28 years ago and now in 2024. I am no closer to performing well on the measure of law school admittance and success. I am truly considering cancelling 7Sage tonight and going on with life in other areas and reaffirming my decision to forego law school again, 28 years later.
I just would like to hear some other thoughts or struggles in this same vain if anyone has anything to share.
I know that only 3 sections are scored, but is it still 4 sections taken?
Hey guys,
Taking the Aug 2024 LSAT - when I do the Practice Tests on 7sage, how do I configure it so I can get a full-length, 4-section PT w/o LG. Any way to splice previous sections into more recent PT's in place of LG? The option of post-August on 7sage PrepTests makes the PT shorter.
Thanks
Hey! I finished the Foundation module and now I am working through the logical reasoning module and wanted to know how often I should take practice tests? Also should I jump around from the logical reasoning to RC or LG?
Hey everyone! I study 2-3 hours per day, and am scheduled to take my exam in April. I wish I could just focus on studying but I am currently a senior in college and work part time as well. I am also a bit of slow learner with new concepts, so I take way longer on the lessons than it suggests.
How do y'all manage to keep up with your study schedule?
Hello,
Wanting to get opinions on when I should try my first PT. Should I do a "pre-test" before diving into the majority of the curriculum?
Not sure what is intended.
I am taking the August 2024 LSAT, though I may push back until December while I am on break from college. I am going to start studying now. How many hours per week do you guys think I should start with? I was thinking 5-10
How do I know when to take preptests on the v2 version of sevensage?
I've studied off and on for the LSATs for a while, but never seem to stick to it. I take a PT, get super excited about my score, then spent 2-3 weeks spending all my time focusing on it. Then around that 3-4 week mark, I start making excuses like "my brain just isn't in the right place" until I stop completely.
I don't want to do that anymore. That said, I've started working fulltime and have much less time to spend studying for the LSATs than I used to. I can force myself to study before work starts, yet I'm usually still waking up at this time and don't feel like my mind is all there. If I tell myself I'll study later when I'm more attentive, but I can't keep my focus on it later at night and can only spend half an hour or so on it. I'm taking ADHD meds but primarily for my work day, since I don't want to get fired.
My question is, is there a point to studying when tired? Is it better to spend more time in the morning when I'm not fully awake, or less time when I am but don't have 100% of my attention on it?
I know neither is ideal, but I want to actually stick to this and have it mean something rather than throwing my time away.
Hello, none of the videos on the syllabus are working Ive cleared all the cache and took off my ad block and they still don't load. I also changed the video player settings as some prior discussions have said that has helped. None of these are working.
If you're ready to get more practice taking a full LSAT Prep Test under simulated online proctor conditions, you're in the right place. The next Proctored PT will take place on Saturday January 20 at 1:00 PM.
Looking forward to the Blind Review sessions on Monday for PT73. Last week's Blind Review sessions for PT70 (LR and RC) were fun! We had a lively debate as to the right answer for a tough Flaw question that dealt with a confusing part-to-whole issue (and a little dreaded math). We also discussed how to attack Comparative RC Passages, like the one on whether money can buy happiness. Can't wait to see more of you there on Monday, January 22nd for Free Live Class Day!
Here's how our Proctored PTs work:
Register by clicking the blue ‘Register’ button on this page.
Once you sign up, you'll receive an email from Zoom with the link to join the meeting.
Select a PT that you want to take for the proctored test. This week's recommended PT is test 73; you're encouraged to attend the associated Blind Review sessions on Monday! (LR Review | RC Review). You can take the PT through 7Sage, or- if you want to simulate real test-day conditions- you can log into LawHub and take it there.
Show up to the Zoom meeting 10 minutes before the scheduled start time (12:50 PM ET). You will all be prompted to complete a room scan (similar to the test-day security measures) at the same time and then put into a breakout room by yourself to complete the test.
Simulate the test! Our 7Sage Proctors will monitor the testing process for the duration of your test and even simulate a pesky interruption. The Proctor will ask if anyone would like to be interrupted at the beginning of the session, and you will have the chance to indicate your preference. If only the Prometric proctors would be so kind as to ask! If you have any approved accommodations, please let us know via private chat at the beginning of the session as well––you will be able to test with those.
If you have any questions, please email bailey.luber@7sage.com. We hope to see you there!
Does LSAC send law schools all of your writing samples (within the 5 year timeframe) if you retook it? Or do they only see most recent sample?
I retook the writing last November because I wasn’t happy with the writing sample I had on file from a year ago. I also took the January test and have the opportunity to take the writing sample again. I am ok with the quality of my retake sample, and I don’t want to take it again if only the most recent is submitted. But if all of them are sent, I don’t see the harm in submitting another sample so law schools can see that the quality of my writing does not vary dramatically.
I have received several, contradictory answers from LSAC, and none of the support staff could directly locate the exact wording under LSAC’s policy or guidelines.
I understand, in the grand scheme of application review, the writing sample doesn’t hold much weight and is required partly for a plagiarism check. But, again, I see no harm done if it gives reviewers access to additional writing.
Took PT's 50-59 and 70 up to 76 and have consistently been scoring in the 153 -155 range. Took PT 80 and got a 150 and its no big deal, transition from 70's PT's to PT's in the 80 is kinda hard but ill take a 150. Bro I go to take PT 81 and I did so bad in section 2 of the LR for it, I probably wouldve got more correct if I closed my eyes and randomly selected answers. I understand that there are some anomalies out there but I did so bad in this LR section Im kinda scared to continue forward and Im taking the February LSAT. Not sure what to do. I dont think Im screwed because ive been scoring in the low to mid 150's for a bit now but Im unsure now. Any advice is appreciated.
Heyo,
This is going to sound ridiculous but I have no idea how to study. My college degree (History/Education) was mostly focused around writing and research, and very rarely did I need to study. I was a notorious procrastinator and while this worked well for me (I graduated with a 3.9 GPA), I realized that in order to succeed on the LSAT and beyond, I need to roll my sleeves up and study. But the problem is is that I have no idea where to start or what works best when studying for the LSAT.
For context, I have been studying for around 4-6 hours a day so far but I don't feel as if it's enough as of right now, and I would like to study for longer periods of time. I seem to be most productive at night. My diagnostic is a 145 when I started the curriculum and I'm still completing it. I would like to get into the high 150s-low 160s, but I'm a bit of a perfectionist and would like to do as well as possible. If I score high, I could get full-tuition from my local law school.
What do you guys do to study for the LSAT? How do you stay motivated? Please send help!
I just am logging into today, have been using 7sage for almost a year, and my progress reset? Has this happened to anyone? I am really confused and would like to know if there is a fix!
I have tried different methods for studying for the LSAT while having a full-time job. I was wondering for those who are on the same boat as me, what is/was your study schedule like?
Give yourself a break!!!!
Cannot stress this enough!
I just returned to studying after a week off from taking the January official. I feel refreshed, focused, and driven again! Small sample size but my drills have been going phenomenal and can see myself breaking through my high 160's plateau!
If you feel stressed, unfocused, distracted, take a few days to a week off. Go to the gym, read a book, watch that Netflix series you have been dying to check out!
Still hoping for that 170+ on January though lol

Hi,
I completed a 5-question drill set yesterday and was going to blind review the questions today, but the results disappeared so I had to redo it. Though the results stayed after I pressed on a pin option. Is that why the results from yesterday did not save? Lastly, is there a way I can access those questions again?
Does 7sage offer any contract courses?
Thank you,
