Hey guys! I have seen conflicting info about this and just wanted to double check--if you have paper and pencil accommodations you have to take the test in person, right? It used to be the case that they would ship you the test and you would take it virtually, but now taking it at a testing center is required? Thanks!
Hello,
I was wondering if everything has been fully added to CV2. I've read some previous comments that CV2 was still in works, and wanted to know if the finalized version is ready to use.
Thanks
Hi all,
I have ADHD and my medication recently stopped working altogether for me (apparently its a thing that sometimes happens). I haven't been able to study in WEEKS because of my ADHD brain and I just pushed the April test to June to give myself more time, given this disruption. I need studying motivation. Please, if you have any advice, kind words, or a compelling story to tell that might inspire some motivation in me, share it if you feel comfortable. This is a rough time for me and I am just looking for some support.
Hello, so I started studying late December and I have been following the curriculum but I haven't been taking any practice tests. Should I be doing practice test while following the curriculum or do I wait until I finish the entire curriculum? How is everyone else studying? and How many hours a day or week are u studying?
Please help!
7 Sage #Admin, please provide some sort of guidance in the Learn dropdown that lets new users understand that they have an option between using V1 or V2 CC, along with V1 or V2 Study Schedule. Personally, I got over being annoyed that I started on V1 and after a month realized there's V2, which is more feasible for my schedule. After completing some of the updated lessons, I realized there's a whole different Study Schedule for V2 from a comment. This is rather frustrating and giving me a bad user experience.
I am planning to take the LSAT after August, so I would like to start practicing with Prep Tests that do not include logic games. I read somewhere that once you click on a prep test, there should be a drop-down menu to the right of the prep test number that allows you to select the version of the test you want to take. However, I'm encountering an issue as there is no drop-down menu when I click on a prep test. If anyone has faced a similar problem and has found a solution, your insight would be much appreciated.
Hi there,
I know it is important to simulate real test day conditions, which means making sure I have the stamina to do 4 sections to simulate the experimental section. However, 7sage's August 2024 version only has the 3 actual sections. Is there a way 7sage recommends practicing the August format but including 4 sections? Should I just immediately take an extra RC or LR section from another pretest right after I finish the 3 section PT?
Also, is it recommended to do this for EVERY PT, or should I just throw in a 4 section every once in awhile?
Which PTs does the drill feature in the Core Curriculum v2 pull from? And is there a way to limit which PTs are used?
Hey everyone, I have recently made the decision to retake the LSAT in the summer of 2025 (goal of 170+) because my current score (166 from Jan 21’) will be expiring by the time I plan to finally matriculate to law school in the fall of 2026.
Last go around, I began studying in October of 2020 with a diagnostic of 156, and reached a score of 166 by focusing HEAVILY on logic games. I did fine on LR and RC, but had a limited window to study (January was the cutoff for a program I was applying for at work). As a result, I really just skimmed the LR curriculum.
With Logic Games leaving the LSAT this year, I’m losing my greatest strength, but I’m also gaining the opportunity to improve a lot by taking the LR curriculum seriously.
How early is too early to begin 7sage again? I won’t make the mistake of limiting my study to 3 months again, but is 18 months too much?
Hey all, could somebody please explain this: once you see what you got right and wrong, there's also an indicator for what others chose and the percent who chose the correct answer. On every question I've done, even the hardest ranked ones, it's always 50-60%+ that are getting stuff right, often higher. Does this mean the majority is answering everything correctly? Kind of demotivating to see a '70% chose the correct answer' on every 5* question I struggled with...
Hey Everyone , Im currently working through the CC (I have done another program before so a lot of this is well needed review/reinforcements). I know that I won't be able to 100% complete the CC questions listed but I can do a good portion. I want to get a general idea of how I should be studying until April. I still feel like I’m lacking structure. To be fair, I work full time so timing has been a big issue of mine. Anybody want to share their weekly study schedule or bounce some ideas on what I can do to maximize my time. How often I should be doing PT's reviewing them? What should I target? I often find that I’m doing endless drills I’m not sure if that’s even the best way to go. Thanks in advance!
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 February 17 at 1:00 PM.
Thanks to all who could come last week to the PT and BR sessions. On Monday, we reviewed PT75's deceptively fascinating LR stimuli: among them the Duke of Acredia, outfitting cattle with expensive GPS, and debating claims about a comet reservoir. On Tuesday's RC BR session, we dove deep into the comparative passage, two sides on whether liars and thieves deserve a taste of their own medicine. Fun! Hope to see you at the next ones.
Here's how our Proctored PTs work:
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 76; you're encouraged to attend the associated Blind Review sessions on Monday and Tuesday! (BR Series). 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!
How many drill Questions should I put into the auto drill builder, if we are to drill for an hour. I am specifically referring to Main Conclusion: Drill It and it says under this I should drill for an hour.

I have been studying since January and I have completed 20% of the syllabus, my lsat is in April and I do not plan on doing another LSAT as I have to apply for Law school and I plan on going this year. I want to get around a 160. I did my first PT at the start and I got a 143. I'm confused on what is the most effective way I should be studying with the time I have right now.
From the past week I have decided that everyday I will be doing drills and practicing one specific type of question whether that is LR or LG. I am not doing the syllabus in order anymore and I will skip to the parts where the types of questions are explained so I have a brief idea on how to approach them. Please give me suggestions and the plan I should be incorporating to reach my goal. Thank you
Hi all,
I have started studying for the LSAT in June (on and off during the summer) with a diagnostic in the low 150s. As I have had a busy schedule, I am still doing to core curriculum (LG at the moment) and doing every single drill. I will have more time to dedicate to LSAT from now on. I am aiming at 175+ ideally but haven't been doing that many PTs, just serious drills. I wonder if I should grind and take the April LSAT (and do it again in June if needed) or only the June LSAT (I am abroad so no other options).
Any advice?
I feel like I complain all the time over this test. It's honestly exhausting. I have been studying officially since August. I used a different program, had live classes every Sunday and watched live lectures all the time. Did the modules and home work (although I admit I fell behind especially when work and family things came around) took several PT's and I haven't seemed to break into the 150 timed test. I moved over to 7Sage when my other program finished and I couldn't afford it. This program definitely emphasized practice and re-doing things especially with LG. When doing PT's here Im still in the 140s but in Blind Review Im at least reaching the mid 150's which is honestly where my goal was in the first place. I feel very lost on what to do. Im still working through the CC but my test is in April and after pushing it back several times before I just dont know how realistic it is to get my score to the 150's. I work full time and I devote my early mornings 7-9, late evenings 5- whenever Im tired , and all of my weekends either doing problems, watching videos and now taking PT's. Sometimes I get the material especially when I have time to break things down and really digest what I have read. But when Im in the time conditions I feel like I forget all the steps and skills I learned, I panic and my mind wanders during the test. I basically give up mid test when I feel like Im not doing well. Im not sure if I need testing accommodations or if Im really just not getting the material and Im just going to have to deal with the score I have. I have put in so much work , made (and still am) sacrifices and it's frustrating to see that it's not really showing the way I want it to. I feel like Im failing. This is only a snippet of my journey but I just need some practical advice at this point on what I could do.

I am looking to take the LSAT sometime in the future. I know how to do the LG. I just need more practice with it to do it more efficiently. My understanding is that LSAT will no longer require LG to be a part of it starting from August 2024. I am wondering how my score will play a part in admission cycle if it does not reflect the LG because I plan on taking the LSAT after August, 2024. If you could input your thought, that would be great! (:
Hi, just wondering if it’s recommended to do 4 section PT’s to get your stamina up? Everytime or how often? And how can I best do this if I’m using the August test format?
I took the february LSAT today, and was interrupted a dozen times by the proctor. Granted, it was mostly due to me reading the questions aloud. I was also interrupted to fix my camera, and they would not pause the clock while I was made to move the camera.
I have ADHD and anxiety, and this is on file because I received an extra 10 mintue break. My question is whether or not anyone has ever tried to take the backup exam, by filing a test day complaint, and been denied? Do you guys think they will denie me? Once I had been interrupted a few times, it was very hard to regather my train of thought (especially due to my adhd), and I ended up guessing on way more questions than any practice test that I have ever taken!
I haven’t seen any discussion on this, but has there been any reason to believe that the RC or LR will be “harder” per se, or introduce new or old question types? I’m just trying to gauge how reflective PTing for it will be.
The videos make learning way easier how come they end now?

Wondering if drills analytics is a feature the 7sage team is thinking about. I think it would be useful to have analytics on drills and not just PrepTests. What do other people think?
Hi all,
I recently took the January LSAT and scored a 160. I'm planning to take the April LSAT with the intention of scoring a 165. How should I structure my study schedule moving forward? Currently, I'm at a 0/-2 for LG, -5/-9 for LR, and -12 for RC.
Should I solely focus on drilling my weak areas and PT's? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks to all who could come last week to the PT and BR sessions. On Monday, we were super productive and discussed P2, P3, and P4 of PT74's RC (check out the recording here), focusing the most on that nuanced Law Comparative passage. In the LR session, we attacked plenty of questions between Q8 and Q23, debating answer choices and whether bacteria is actually living (P.S.- the answer did give us a hint there in saying that bacteria "thrive." Do rocks or other nonliving things "thrive?"). Find the LR Blind Review Recording here!
