Drill packs are a bit overwhelming. I understand that quality is better than quantity when it comes to studying. So I want to pace myself in the most practical way as possible.

I am studying 5 days week.

I could use a little structure when it comes to LG, LR, and RC sections.

Can anyone recommend a daily and weekly study schedule for drill packs 1-16?

Thank you so much for your advice.

Hi! I created a discord server for those in NYC/nearby states to study and chat about the LSAT! I'm currently studying full-time for the February 2025 LSAT; the goal is to create this as an LSAT study group but keep it going throughout law school!

discord link is: https://discord.gg/UPPjMUPG

hope to see you there!

Hi guys,

I'm preparing for the January LSAT flex this upcoming weekend. I will also plan to take the April and July 2021 LSATs as well.

So far, I've been doing a lot of drills and untimed work, with some timed work intermittently. It improved my BR scores to be at/above the target score (173). But occasionally I rush the process and get a lower BR score. I've been doing this after the core curriculum up to PT 53.

I recently took several timed PTs (72, 73, and 82), scoring lower than my previous timed scores and BR. I'm not worried about the LG portion, but feel that I need to be doing much better in LR and RC. I'm going to stop taking PTs after PTs, as I feel that I'm not making the improvements that I am hoping for, particularly in the LR section.

I've heard from Josh's webinar series that one should develop a study plan after BR and analysis of the latest timed PT, to work on one's weaknesses. I've already used up PTs 7 - 52 and as I plan a set of drills for specific question types in LR, I'm thinking of drawing them from PT 54 - 56. Afterward, I will take a new timed PT (probably 74), BR, analyze, and drill the question types that I got wrong from PT 57 - 59. Repeat, hopefully, until a timed score of 173.

How does my plan sound ? Am I pulling from the right pile of PTs for drilling my weaknesses? In other words, should I solely be making drill sets from PT 1 - 35? Or, on the other hand, am I spending too much time on drills/untimed work and instead should be focused on doing timed PTs and BR instead?

All the best.

I'd love to know progress from people on the waitlist, and to know what schools are starting to pull applicants off the waitlist.

My LSAT journey is starting to feel long and it is still not over. I'm aiming for a 170 or higher. And I've been studying on and off the LSAT since July 2014. One day I will do an AMA with JY about this journey. I've done Powerscore course, I've self study, but it wasn't until I discovered 7sage last year after my first take in Dec 2017, a 153, that I upped my game. So I studied everyday, did the CC, Foolproof 1-35, took PT where I ranged from 156 - 172, but I was averaging PT of 163 by September and even scores a 172 in Sept so I signed up for November, got a little pressured by my study partner, who scored a 167 in September when we had originally thought to take it but I didn't feel ready, especially not for my goal of 170 or higher. I took November and got a 159. I was blown. I was expecting at least a 160, and I changed a little strategy, not that it matters, my letter of the day was C instead of my usual letter D, did the math, I would have had 163 if I chose D, but anyway. I took a 5 weeks off and I'm ready to get back to study. I need advice by Sage or anyone where to start. Timing is an issue for me, I usually get 84% correct of what I complete, but I usually leave about 7-10 questions to random guessing. I've got grit, and I know I'm going to get this +170, just need some advice and encouragement before I continue the journey.

I submitted it but on LSAC it still says exam initiated. Is that normal? Should it say something else? I had the perfect essay!!!!

Hi all,

My PT score does not reflect my drill score. I consistently get -0 to -3 on individual LR timed sections (some of these are older tests, some are fairly new). On full PT LR sections, I get around -5/-6, regardless of the order of sections. There have been only a select few times I've gotten -3 or better on LR PTs, but those were a few months ago.

BR score for LR is usually -1/-3, so I don't think it's a lack of comprehension or understanding of the material...

Any tips on getting my PT score to better reflect my drilling score? I suspect it's a matter of PT stress, but are there any other major reasons you think there's a difference that I'm overlooking?

Advice much appreciated, thanks!

Hey everyone,

I just took the LSAT in November and scored a 147. After studying for 5 to 6 months I was pretty bummed by my score. Since then, I've been grinding and have consistently been scoring between 155 and 158 throughout 8 to 9 practice tests. I was wondering what tactic's you used/ what you studied to get from the mid 150's to the low 160's. I'm taking the test in January again in 4 weeks and am wondering if this is even attainable if I put in 40 hours a week studying. Thanks :)

Hi all! I had been consistently scoring between 165-167 on previous PTs before I took the Nov LSAT, and was incredibly disappointed to when I found out I 160 on it. This is my first time using 7sage and I am taking the January LSAT.

How in depth should I be studying each LR question type? I'm finding that doing the lessons don't leave me much time for drilling and I'm not sure how to balance it. Would love some advice on how to use the study plan in tandem with drilling and taking sections!

Thanks :)

Please speak to how many questions to select, what difficulty to set it to, which years, etc.

Hi everyone,

Is there an explanation for why the scaled score varies by 1-2 points from the current test format to the obsolete test format, same raw score? This is reflected in the conversion table on 7sage. For example, -5 is a 174 for X modern PT, but 173 for the corresponding obsolete (but modified - LR, LR, RC, no experimental) PT. Presumably, since the same scored sections are tested (given 7Sage modification), the scaled score should be the same, unless I'm misunderstanding something.

I made the mistake of taking a test on LawHub under the current test format and manually inputting the answers in the corresponding obsolete (but modified, no LG) 7Sage test. Two different scaled scores were given, 1 point off. I double checked - exact same scored sections. Is this just a matter of adjusting the scaled scores with removal of LG?

And I assume that I should rely on the current test format's scaled score, correct?

Ive taken the time to learn the fundamentals of LR and RC for months. Now I'm drilling non stop based on previous prep test analytics but I'm asking how you to balance studying. Given in a week, approx 4 hrs/daily

Monday- LR specific Q types

Tuesday-LR

Wednesday: RC

Thursday: RC

Friday: LR

Saturday: anything you didn't get done

Sunday: rest

How do you balance RC/LR?

I currently work at a small law office in NYC. A couple of weeks ago, I got accepted into my dream law school and will be enrolling for fall 2025 so my position will be open starting April.

This role is a perfect opportunity for those preparing to go to law school. It is only part-time so you will be able to study for the LSAT or work on other application materials. Additionally, the role leaves a lot of free time during the work day to study for the LSAT or work on other application materials as well. Another amazing thing about this role is that because you are working in a small law office, there is a lot of room for growth and learning. I truly believe this work experience made a difference in my law school application as I had the opportunity to begin drafting legal documents, learned what I liked/did not like about the field, was able to study for the LSAT during work, and got a great recommendation letter from my boss. A huge plus is that the staff are extremely friendly and flexible.

If you applied this cycle but are deciding to take another year off or have not yet applied, this might be a perfect opportunity for you. PM me if you are interested - serious inquiries only please.

Hello. Im taking the LSAT on June 2025. I've complited abt 65% of the foundation part.

I want to know if I should keep seeing the videos or I should start practicing. In the LR part, are the videos gonna stop?

Thank you for Reading me.

How long (whether in terms of hours or across a span of days) does it take for you to do the following?

I ask because it takes me about a month to get through all of this, and that seems much longer than what I hear is recommended. Granted, I am aiming to increase my study time on the weekdays, so that should establish a faster cycle. I currently study an hour per work night, on average. For weekends, about 2-3 hours per day.

My distribution is something like:

Open to any tips you all have!

I just completed a timed argumentative essay and wanted to ask if any one else has done an essay and would want to meet to give feedback on each other's work?

does anyone know how to highlight on the law hub interface? I see the highlighting functions in the top right corner but for some reason when I hold and drag it doesn't highlight. Maybe its just my laptop or maybe im doing it wrong. For those of you who can get it to highlight, are you just holding and dragging?

Thanks in advance!

I live in Colorado Springs & work a 9-5. Looking for a (or multiple!) study buddy.

So when I’m having a tough time with a question and I’m on my phone, sometimes I’ll look up the question on Google, and see that 7sage has that particular video online (ex: “Section 1 Question 23”) but when I click on it from Safari, it opens up through the browser and I’d have to log in in order to view the video. If possible, and I think it would be a lot more convenient for people who have the app installed on their phones, to insert a button at the top of the browser that allows you to automatically open the app with the specific video instead of having to log in through the browser.

For anyone still looking for a server, and are ok with a big one, here is mine : https://discord.gg/AWekDrtwHc. I’ve been notified of a few that seem to have carbon-copied our design, but the thing they can’t poach, is community, and we would love to have you be part of our LSAT family. The server has dedicated post-lsat channels, some of them are: personal statement review, professional tutor help/and law school admissions, special lsat experts visit before each LSAT. Where ever you have them else where, we had them first, and we have them better. You are all welcome, and @KevinLin7Sage you are super welcome, we’d be honored to have you grace us with your presence. Please feel free to pass on the link to anyone else, unless you are one of 3 I have banned. We look forward to getting to know you!

When I studied for my nursing boards I would use NCLEX books as I went along and go over my week points. I never did a full test until I went to Kaplan. Should I take the same approach with the LSAT since I am not taking them until June 2018. I bought the Kaplan book and have a few others hoping if I learn the concepts then I can start taking the practice tests later on.

I bought powerscore book in 2020 but didn't get a chance to study. Do I need to purchase this year's edition one if I want to study this year? Would there be much difference?

I am planning to take the September 2019 digital LSAT and I began studying earlier this month with the Khan Academy digital program. On Khan Academy, you can highlight RC passages but not underline, bracket, etc. -- and can't do anything with the LG or LR prompts (although you can use scrap paper for diagramming LG). Now, watching the 7Sage videos, I'm realizing how very helpful it would be to have the paper test in front of me to mark LG and LR prompts and RC passages - and doing my first BR, I noticed that there were a handful of answers I marked incorrectly just because I didn't absorb the question properly!

I see the 7Sage videos doing things like circling important words in the question stems, bracketing premises and conclusions, etc. I know that misreading is such an easy way to lose points so I'm interested to learn: with the lack of a paper test, what are some ways that I can train my brain to catch everything? I sometimes read a question two or three times and still "hear" it incorrectly! I am definitely a paper-and-pencil kind of person and I love marking up pages (even the books I read for leisure get underlined and highlighted), so taking a digital exam is requiring me to acquire some new ways of thinking.

Thanks for any thoughts!

Anyone else running into this issue where the word wrap per line just starts changing for no reason? I'll be honest, it's annoying enough to where I'm questioning whether A.) I want to take the test digitally in any capacity and or B.) continue using 7sage.

Hey,

I am starting to get back into my LSAT studying journey after taking a break from it for a while. I have gone thru the foundations portion and completed that. Right now doing LR and then RC.

Do you think it would be worth it taking the LSAT fundamentals class?

Has anyone taken the course before?

Thanks!!
