Hi everyone, this is my first time doing this. I am taking the lsat in April ( and June) and I was wondering for these last couple of weeks is there any tips/advice for studying for any of the sections? What helps you all study, how do you find time studying while working and going to school? If anyone answers I would really appericate you.

Slight problem - I have a slightly long first name, and Prometric only took in the first 15 letters (including spaces) of it. Thus, my LSAT registration only has the first 15 letters of my first name and does not exactly match my ID. Has this happened to anyone before/any suggestions on who to reach out to?
To address any potential questions: I can definitely rule out my own human error, as my first name is correctly and fully entered on my LSAC profile. I also tried to add my full first name on the registration page, but unfortunately Prometric's website pulls it from LSAC and puts it in an uneditable field.
Any views appreciated - thanks!

What is the best way you all have found to study with 7sage? I usually watch a guided video then try and do a drill of the same sort. Wanted to make sure I wasn't leaving anything on the table. Any input would be awesome. Thanks everyone!
Has anyone tried out the new drill set feature on lawhub? It looks like there is new material, not entirely sure though I could be wrong and was wondering if anyone who has tried it felt like the information is new.
I am very confused what study schedule I should be using for the August LSAT should I be using the V2 beta or the regular study schedule because they both say different things to do per week? I am just confused how I should structure my studying because the regular one has a lot less time per week than the beta but the beta includes prep tests.
Why I can't print my Drills? I don't see the option "Printable" anymore.
Hi Everyone,
🔧We're actively working on resolving an issue affecting access to the Review Results of Old PrepTests (PTs 1-94) from Drills/Problem Sets/You Try. Our development team is dedicated to fixing this as soon as possible. We'll keep you posted on the progress!
In the meantime, if you need to access the Review Results of a drill using questions from Old PrepTests, you will need to switch the format of your PT to "Current (with Logic Games)". Simply head to the PrepTests page and look for the option at the top under the List PrepTests title. Check out the sample GIF below for guidance.
Stay tuned for further updates! 🛠️👀
This issue is now resolved and everyone should now be able to review the results from the Drills even if the PrepTests page is set to "August 2024 and later" format.
I work 9-5 in person tech job and have definitely not been putting in enough time with my studies. How do you guys go about working in-person, full-time, roles whilst studying? What does your study schedule look like?
Hey! I'm planning to take the LSAT in April and/or June so I can take the LSAT with logic games. I've been studying with 7Sage religiously and do daily drills with both the advanced and auto builder. However, today I went in and everything looks completely different and there is no option to drill logic games. Additionally, I can't see which drills/questions I've done (including LR and RC) as all the preptests are different now. Can 7Sage please fix this and provide a drilling option for those taking the April/June tests?
For the past four drill sets (main point section under "syllabus"), I have submitted my answers and completed blind review, only to find that the correct answers and explanations are not shown. Under the “Review Results” heading, it just says “Showing 0 to 0 of 0 entries.” It did not do this for earlier drill sets.
This makes it impossible to meaningfully work through the syllabus. Please advise.
Has anyone else gotten an email about signing up for a testing time for the April test yet? I saw sign ups are suppose to start today, but I haven't gotten any emails yet, and last time I'm pretty sure I got an email about it in advance
In the drilling mode section it says there are a certain amount of 'clean questions' remaining for each category. Does this refer to questions that only exist in PTs 1-35? I would like to do more drills but also don't want to spoil future practice tests.
Hi everyone, I've been faced with a dilemma and I wanted to hear everyones opinions on my situation. I started my LSAT journey on 7Sage back in December while studying as a full-time student and working. I worked through the Logical Reasoning curriculum up to this point and just started working on the Logic Games curriculum. It's now March 18th and I'm wondering if there are enough weeks for me to master the games section in order to take the June LSAT. Also, I realize I'd have to learn the Reading Comprehension curriculum and start drilling and taking prep tests.
Some of my friends took the LSAT this spring (with the logic games) and told me that I should shoot for the June LSAT. Reason being they thought the games were easy to master and got most of them right to improve their scores. I understand my studies will be different from them, but I want to make sure I'm not missing out on a golden opportunity when the games are still available. A better question to ask you all is, how long did it take for you to understand the games?
Furthermore, I plan on applying in the fall by the end of October. If I were to decide to take the August LSAT would I be pushing back my application timeline for most schools? What if I needed to take a couple more LSAT's for the score I want?
Any advice or personal thoughts on this would be really appreciated. Thank you!
Hey 7Sagers,
Just FYI, if you're having a tough time pulling up your RC score and are wondering if you could be doing anything differently, I recently posted some RC tips over on the blog:
LSAT Reading Comprehension Tips
If you've had success with other approaches, please share! Post any tips of your own here or over in the blog's comments.
Happy reading and comprehending!
As soon as I start to read questions my brain starts to melt and mush. I have to reread the first sentence so many times to actually dial in, and beyond that point I usually have to read the who stimulus/passage 3-5 times to actually have a grasp of it. I feel like I cannot process the information fast enough and that has been the issue for me for some time.
I'm embarrassed to say it but with the time allotted (35min) I usually can only finished about 10-12 questions per section. The only way I can actually finish a section is by skimming and guessing. I actually got some time accommodations (thankfully), but I am only able to finish a few more questions with the extra time. I leave about 9 questions blank.
I feel very insecure about how my brain works and how my processing speed is regarding this stuff. Does anyone have experience with this? I have the KNOWLEDGE, and I have the SKILLS & TOOLS (I could use of course more practice), however I'm worried about my inability to apply what I know, because in order for me to apply my skills I have to be able to READ and FOCUS and PROCESS quickly!! Help? Tell me I'm not alone...
I am sitting for my first LSAT in April and with less than a month to go it is starting to feel real. I am hoping to boost my score by another 5-7 points which feels like a lot but I have a good plan in place for the final countdown...
How is everybody feeling? Prepared? Nervous? If it goes poorly the plan is to take again in August, but I would love to just get my goal score first try and be done with it.
Good luck to everybody!
I've been studying and I noticed a very peculiar trend in my wrong answer choices as well as the reason I get these answers wrong. And the issue is I always wind up missing some important detail in the stimulus that will lead me to the correct answer choice. And it's always something small like a key word whether it's something that indicates strength (always, some of the time, never) or something like "adequately, imprecise, etc". It's always something small but this small thing usually changes the answer choice up a lot. And my wrong answer choice is almost always the second most selected answer meaning that I'm falling into the trap the LSAT writers have set out in some way.
Any advice/ practice strategies for resolving this issue? Or any more concise explanation? I see the pattern but I'm still having a bit of a hard time completely understanding and pinpointing the issue.
Great news: we’ve updated the 7Sage digital tester to include the set of remixed PrepTests LSAC recently released (PTs 101–158). To access them, simply head to the digital tester as usual and click the “August 2024 or later” button at the top.
Wait, what?
Here’s the backstory if you missed it: On February 22, LSAC released 58 “new” (well, technically not new) PrepTests on LawHub, a set they’re calling the “August 2024 Admin Test Format.” They start at PT 101 and go to PT 158.
The change is in preparation for the post-August 2024 LSAT which will be offered without Logic Games. The newly released PrepTests consist of two Logical Reasoning sections, one Reading Comprehension section, and one experimental section. Technically, the material on the tests is not actually new; these are composed of shuffled and repackaged sections from previous tests (PT19-PT94), excluding Logic Games.
I’m so confused!
That’s fair! This is a lot to keep track of, even for those of us who only ever think about the LSAT. Here’s a post with a lot more details about the new/not new PTs.
I plan on taking the lsat in June 2024 and was aiming to get high 150s/low 160s. I took my first PT in february before I started studying and got a 143. I took it again this month (march) after 45 hours of studying and got a 148. I am discouraged by my recent score. Can I realistically increase my score to a 160 in 2.5 months? I know that hours don't necessarily convert to points but how many hours would you estimate it would take? Any tips would be appreciated!
I've been studying for the LSAT for a while now but I haven't done a full practice test yet. I've completed LR and am about halfway through LGs... my thinking is that I want to complete all three sections so I know how to tackle all the questions. Do you think that is productive or do you think it'd be beneficial to do a practice test before completing the core curriculum?

Hi, I just renewed my lawhub subscription from the same account and still unable to link to 7 sage. The link button is not even show up on my 7 sage account. I have the same LSAC account. Please help
I'm having trouble loading the recording of live classes and explanation videos. I've tried two different browsers. Is this a known issue? Thanks!
Which prep tests are left clean for practice tests when you use drilling? What practice tests should I be using for drills vs for full length practice tests?
