How do I see which section is an experimental section? For example for a PT can i see which section is exp. so i can just do that section?

Hi all,

I'm currently a full-time firefighter in NYC, parent, husband etc., looking to attend law school part-time in the NYC area. I intend on beginning my 1L year in fall of 2028, with my anticipated LSAT in June of 2027. I also consult/teach mental performance and leadership in high-risk settings on the side. Undergrad GPA is 3.6, with 3.8 in graduate courses (never finished degree, St. John's), and my first cold diagnostic was a 144 (two weeks ago, shooting for a 170, because why not?!). Currently using 7Sage long with the PowerScore Bibles. Being that I have a fairly non-traditional background, can anyone who is deeper into this journey offer some insight/encouragement/advice? Being that I have two young children who drain the life/money out of us, securing money is a HUGE piece of this.

Just wanted to share a photo of my beloved Topaz! I got this ergonomic chair yesterday, and she’s already claimed it as hers. If you have back pain, get a new chair immediately. It was not cheap, but it’s going to save me so much pain! Especially as an online writer of the LSAT!

What the title says. My perspective essay is about being gay and learning to understand homophobes in a conservative country where it was illegal -> trying to look at the root cause behind ideological violence while growing up around it -> why it's valuable to me as a future lawyer.

As a teen I did indeed witness a bombing up close, run from a shooting, get SWATted, and live in a neighborhood where national violent pro-blasphemy law riots took place. I absolutely don't linger on these events - I just mention them to show how they impacted my thinking, becuase I don't want it to be a trauma dump essay. I talk about how during an LLB, my classmates said apostates should be given the death penalty and how that forced me to try and understand how they even got to that point of dehumanization in order to counter them.

My concern is like... that it might sound a little obnoxious to be like "I think I'd be good at int. law / comparative legal studies / refugee law because I've had to confront ideology a lot, and know what living under harmful laws or the absence of protective laws are like." And that it might also sound like I'm humanizing violent rhetoric, rather than saying that having to confront the people who held them and the circusmtances they produce gave me perspective.

Could i get some advice :')

Hi everyone!

I am extremely new to 7Sage. I am not (unfortunately) unfamiliar to the LSAT. I recently took my LSAT back in June, and I got a pretty decent score of 155 after studying for a month with Kaplan's physical test prep (I completed all of it, and I think my score is pretty decent for only a month of prep-work). The problem is, I want to get into UNC Chapel Hill's Law School- which means my LSAT score will definitely hurt my application, even though everything else is really solid, including my GPA. So, I rationalized it, and I decided I was going to find a prep course so I could practice more LSAT questions, so I can memorize the question patterns even faster and increase my overall question accuracy under the time constraints of the test.

My big question is, how much of my time should I devote to the study lessons provided by 7Sage? So far, I am using my old knowledge from Kaplan and relating it to the 7Sage lessons. But, should I put more of a heavy focus on the practice problems, and sit the lessons on the back burner? Or should I follow the study plan and learn how to tackle LSAT problems quickly and effectively? Should I do an even 50/50 split of both? I just want to make sure I am maximizing my time, which I do not have a lot of when all is said and done (Friday afternoons and weekends aside). For context, I am doing 1-2 hours prep daily, until the January LSAT. Thanks for your input!

Good afternoon everyone. I wanted to come on here and seek general advice and feedback from anyone who’s been struggling to score in the 140s on practice tests. I study almost every day, review my wrong answers, and maintain a journal of incorrect answers. I’ve noticed that I either second-guess myself or completely miss the problem. However, this tends to happen only on difficulty four and five questions in certain sections. Additionally, I find that I get the last six or seven questions wrong. I’m curious to know how I can improve this habit. Thank you for everyone’s time. I’m looking forward to your advice.

Hello! I recently found a tutor I am planning to work with (180 scorer) to prepare for the November LSAT. I scored a 171 on the August LSAT, and my goal is as close to a 180 as possible in November. If anyone is in a similar testing range as I am and is interested in being my study buddy for tutoring, please DM me! It will be $90/hr each for a two-person study session with the tutor. I am also interested in studying together outside of the tutoring sessions!

Hi! I don't know if anyone else has been experiencing this, but I am taking the September LSAT and just cannot seem to lock in. When I take a practice test or a practice section, I find myself being really lazy when I go through it. Like, I know what diagramming I need to do, or what steps I need to take to figure out the situation, but I just do not take them. I'm not sure if I'm just being lazy or if I feel so crunched for time that I feel like I cannot do it. For reference, I just did a LR section and went -8 the first time and blind reviewed -0.

I try to do the first 15 in 15 minutes and then go from there. Any tips would be appreciated!

Before I started studying for the LSAT, I used to run marathons and ultramarathons; I've even coached some people on how to get into running them. And for the two years that I've been studying for the LSAT, I found a lot of parallels between the LSAT (and law school process in general) and running a marathon.

• They're both long stretches of a challenge.

• They're both very difficult to do.

• There's moments where you're feeling good and you're riding a high but then there's moments where you're not feeling so good and the momentum starts to die down.

But there's one lesson that I've learned from running marathons that I'd like to think would help anyone in a situation where things start to feel overwhelming: one mile at a time. When I used to run, I didn't think about the end of the run - I really only thought about the next mile. If I thought about the entire marathon, I would think to myself, "this shit is impossible!" But if I thought about just running one more mile, the marathon no longer felt impossible.

Recently I was rejected from my last waitlisted school and I felt very overwhelmed on top of the preparations for the October LSAT as well as managing my life outside of the LSAT. Everything felt impossible and I've felt very hopeless recently. But I know that if I stopped thinking about "the end" of this process (an end that no one can really predict unless I give up) and take it one day at a time, then things start to feel a little more possible - slowly but surely.

And I'm saying all of this because I've felt like absolute shit in this past month and I honestly don't know if I'm going to make it. And if my experiences with the LSAT are like anyone else's, then maybe the way that I try to cope and get through a hard time could work for someone else here also feeling overwhelmed with all of it.

So I pray that everyone who needs the strength to keep going another mile and another day gets that strength.

yeah thats about it

Hi! I recently received a fee waiver from LSAC. yay! Am I able to backdate payments on7Sage using 7Sage's fee waiver platform? This would be a huge help!

I applied for an LSAC fee waiver and I'm trying to figure out roughly how long it usually takes to hear back. If anyone has gone through this recently, I'd appreciate knowing what your timeline looked like.

Separately, my LawHub subscription is set to expire in 5-7 days. I still don't have a decision on the fee waiver yet, so I'm not sure if I'll be able to renew it in time. Does anyone know if 7Sage charges you or freezes your account if your LawHub subscription lapses while you're still using the platform? I want to know if I need to do anything on my end before it expires, or if there's a grace period.

Thanks in advance for any info.

Hey everyone! I'm obviously new on here coming from LSAT demon (needed a change and a softer tone lol). But I'm having difficulty navigating this site/the app. On LSAT Demon I was able to retake drills I got wrong but on here I can't seem to figure out how to.

I have tried live sessions and the instructors talk extremely fast. If its beginner there's no way for us to learn with them speaking so fast. Then the ones attending are definitely not beginners.

Hi! JY mentions a lesson reviewing the embedded conditionals present in

PT140.S3.Q24 does anyone have the link or understand this?

Hi everyone! I had a question. I took the LSAT in April 2026 and applied for schools in June 2026, so I was very late to the 2026 admissions cycle. One school waitlisted me but essentially asked for me to reapply for the 2027 cycle and even told me when their applications open (hopefully a good sign!). When reapplying, should I reuse my personal essay or write a new one? I really liked how the essay turned out, but I don't want to be seen as lazy. I am a first-generation law applicant, so I am unsure how this works. Thank you!

I am applying for fall 2027 admission and have not started any application process yet because I have not taken my first LSAT. I am taking the LSAT in October and potentially again in November. When should I be looking into the application process and starting that? Right now I am in the mindset that I wont begin any of that until I receive a score that I am happy with on the LSAT.

Hi everyone! I am looking for advice on a topic I want to pursue for my personal statement, and was wondering if anyone could help or direct me to someone/somewhere that can help! I don't necessarily have the money to spend, especially since I currently just need some quick advice on my potential topic. Thank you!

is anyone interested in reviewing each other's personal essays? I read some advice that having 3 people read your essays is a good idea - someone who knows you really well, someone who knows you somewhat, and someone who doesn't really know you at all. :)

The site won't let me change my payment method with "Update payment method." It just takes me to a site that says "This page couldn't be found." Since my previous payment method is invalid, I will lose access to m7Sage features on August 30 :(.

Is anyone else having this problem? I reached out to studentservice@7sage.com just now.

I took a blind diagnostic a couple of days ago and got a 145. My GPA isn't that great... I really need to get into Law School. I have to. If not, I'll just keep feeling like a loser. Anyone else feel this way? How do you gt through it? For context, I'm close to 30yo and have not done anything substantial in my life (career-wise at least).

I work full time and I plan to take the October 2026 Exam. This is not my first LSAT so I've studied previously but... a lot of days I just can't study after work? My brain is deep fried after I get home from work and then I know I'm supposed to be hitting 2 hours of studying.. then I just talk myself out of doing it. Does anyone have any tips for how I can actually lock back in how I used to and kill this exam like everyone else?! I feel like the information is dripping out of my head each day I don't do a proper session. Studying in the morning is an option, but I typically have more time open after work.. I'm all ears!

a bit of background: i graduated college early with the intention in saving money for law school + having extra time to study for the lsat. i was originally planning to take the lsat for the first time in August (was PTing low 160s) in hopes to score in the mid to high 160s by October.

in a crazy change of events, i was involved in an accident that resulted in me fracturing my femur. around a month post opp and besides doing drills here and there, i really haven't studied due to my chronic pain and overall depression.

im between a rock and a hard place. on one hand, this injury has completely disrupted my life, let alone my law school applications. on the other, im a bit uneasy about having to spend an additional year out of school. any advice?
