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.

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

  • Blind reviewing your PTs before checking your score
  • After your PT score reveal, going through video explanations on your missed or flagged questions
  • Drilling before your next PT
  • Overall, time between your PT attempts
  • 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:

  • 1 week for blind review
  • 1-1.5 week of video explanations
  • 1-1.5 weeks of drilling
  • Overall, 3-4 weeks between PT attempts
  • Open to any tips you all have!

    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.

    HELP WITH LSAT!!!!

    Hi everyone! I’m trying to find someone who has taken the LSAT near Vista CA who can meet up with my boyfriend Graham. (IN PERSON NOT ONLINE) His test is this Saturday January 26th. He needs help improving speed and accuracy at the same time. He gets all the answers with unlimited time but when timed he misses some and doesn’t finish all the questions. Please let me know if someone can help. PM me anytime! Thank you.

    I noticed that the LSAT August 2025 dates specify "Region: United States (including Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands) and Canada." Does this mean that there are no online options for international takers either? Sorry for the basic question, apologies if this isn't the place for it.

    Hi everyone, I am wondering if someone has taken the LSAT at the in-person test center in Ottawa. I'd like to do that to avoid potential difficulties with WiFi/proctor because I just get so paranoid thinking about those. But I want to know how that experience has been for those who's done it there? Thank you!

    Dear 7sagers,

    So here's my thoughts on my first online format take for the LSAT:

    I loved it for LR! It just felt like the process went way smoother and more efficiently. I don't know if it was because I've been drilling and reviewing LR like mad over the past couple of weeks, but nonetheless, the online LR has some evident advantage in my view. First of all, it helps so much that the clock is on your screen. Checking for the time on my analog watch was just a plain damn nuisance for me. Also, not having to transfer your answers on the scan-tron gives me an extra 2-3 minutes to do more questions. Lastly, the online format in terms of pencil vs. mouse/tablet pen, doesn't allow much time to be fixated on labeling. This indirectly forces you to focus on the structure of the argument instead of circling/underling each and every major detail, which was a bad habit for me.

    Now for on the contrary, the online format is a freakin' NIGHTMARE for Games! Having to look up and down at the screen between my setup on scratch paper and the test itself on the monitor was unforgiving for me! Right now I usually get through about 3 games; but this time I could barley do ONE! Uggh, I wish LSAC would allow for having a clean paper version of the games to write on, and then transfer your answers on the computer/tablet. How do you all handle Games online? I folded my scratch paper horizontally, with one bigger side for the diagram, and the smaller side for questions. However this didn't help me at all, so I would dearly welcome any and all suggestion on this for me.

    For Reading Comp., I still slightly prefer paper, but I believe I'll be able to adjust for online reading. I also believe that the online version, like LR, doesn't allow much time for obsession over labeling, so it forces you to comprehend the structure of the passage, which is what RC is pretty much all about.

    PS: I'm registered for the July test, which seems like a WTF that I just now did an online test. However I'm most likely going to cancel and take advantage of the later free test unless I score a 155 or better. So I'd really like those online LG suggestions please!

    I'm writing my lsat on Saturday and i keep scoring 4 points below my goal score.

    With my gpa, a score of mid 150 would make me competitive for the law school i want to get into.

    Currently i keep scoring between 151 to 152.

    When i BR my score gets to 155+.

    Any last minute tips to help me boost up my score a couple points?

    It's really frustrating because everytime I do LR the first time around i get -8 to -11, but when i go back to look at the questions i got wrong, the answers which were my second choice are always right.

    And as for LG, I'm doing well in terms of accuracy, however I'm still spending 8.5 min on each game. Which makes it difficult to finish the last most difficult game.

    I just want to give a world wide shout out to Nicole Agrononik the 7 Sage tutor. Her teaching style of covering theory before practice has been a god sent to me and Im sure for everyone else. I am at a 92% for PSAr questions and I give the credit where its due. She explains things in a way that's easily understood. IDK who taught Nicole but I'm thankful for them too. I want to thank her mama for having her. I just watched her flaw factory class and I am telling you I thought I knew what I false dichotomy was and Hello. I didn't. So, I just want to give Nicole a hellafied praise for STL.

    Hi there! I apologize if this question is asked often or will be answered for me in the course, but at what point should I start supplementing with practice tests and drilling? I've heard about starting once you've finished the grammar section, Foundations, or the entire course. Any tips/suggestions? Thank you!

    I'm completely new to the LSAT and wanted to approach it alongside others who are also just starting out. I don’t plan to take the LSAT in June, but I’m aiming for the next available test date after that since I’m applying for Fall 2027. LMK if anyone is down to create some type of group chat

    Hey peeps!

    I have been working a full time for over 3 years now and from working at my job have decided that I would like to go to law school. My full time job is pretty demanding and i could work from 40-50 hours a week and, some days (maybe once every 2-3 weeks) 10-11 hours just in a work shift. I took the LSATS in November on an unrealistic limb thinking I was giving myself enough time to learn all of the materials and be ready in about 2 1/2 months. (HA jokes on me) I did terrible on the test and my score was very low. I have been thinking about looking for a new job that I can still support myself, have insurance and be able to study appropriately for the next test. I would not like to switch jobs for many reasons but know I definitely want to go to school and this isn't my forever job. Ideally i would like to take it in March 2019 but I think this time I learned I need to make sure I am 100% ready and not just forcing myself to take the test. I work with many attorneys in my position and some are young and most are old. A few of the younger attorneys have told me not to get discouraged by my low score because i have gained A LOT of experience in my job that pertains to law. I have testified and presented in so many different types of family and dependency law hearings, and work with law on a daily basis. I have worked with many criminals, have interview experience and all. My point and question is I am curious to know how much schools would weigh in on my experiences and (decent) GPA, etc vs. my low scores? I plan to redo the CC and give myself more time to really learn the material and drill but I feel lost on my path to applying and my chances, and don't want to settle for a school that takes low test scores just because i want to get into school. If you have ever worked a full time job, i would appreciate any tips for studying!?

    Hey guys! Those of you who are practicing the LSAT, what type of small-term rewards are you guys using to reward yourselves when you guys reach a new practice test benchmark/jump?

    For example, do you guys eat ice cream, or take a break from the LSAT for a day? Or what? I'm just curious what short-term goals/rewards you guys set for yourselves.

    Thank you!
