Hi everyone,

I’ve been studying for the LSAT consistently but inconsistently for about a year now. I started in the low to mid-140s and have since climbed into the 150s, but I’m aiming to break into the 160 to 165+ range by the September test.

By “consistently but inconsistently,” I mean that I’ve tried to study as regularly as possible, but I haven’t had a full two-week stretch of uninterrupted, focused prep during that time. Due to personal life changes, working 20 to 30 hours a week, and maintaining some extracurriculars post-grad, my schedule has been pretty fragmented. I know this has likely contributed to my score plateau.

Right now, I usually try to complete one timed LR section and one timed RC section per week, along with some drilling and review. I also keep a wrong answer journal, although it sometimes feels tedious and time-consuming. For resources, I’ve used The LSAT Trainer for RC, completed the 7Sage curriculum last summer, and worked through The Loophole.

At this point, I’m feeling a bit frustrated that my score has been stuck in the low 150s for a few months. If any of you have broken through a similar plateau in a short time frame (1 to 2 months), I’d really appreciate any tips. Whether it’s study schedules, habits, tricks, or anything else that helped you see a jump, I’m open to suggestions.

Thanks in advance, and best of luck to everyone studying right now!

I happened to take a prep test early on in my practice here on 7sage, I then thought I took a different one on Lawhub a few months later but I actually repeated the same one, is it possible for my to upload that score manually still? Like can I have a prep test have two pseperate score from two separate testing sessions with out deleting one? Just curious?

I have noticed that after my blind review of drilling Qs, timed sections, and full practice tests, the vast majority of questions I get wrong under timed conditions I get correct during my blind review (usually -4 or -5 to -1 during blind review). I am curious what aspects beyond time related factors are worth reviewing or examining in my wrong answer journalling of these questions, as when I do not have time constraints I confidently understand content of the questions and can determine the correct answer.

class is scheduled for 7/1, 8-9:30pm ET. Thank you in advance!

How will 7Sage be affected by LSAC maintenance scheduled from 7/11 - 7/13 and 7/24 - 7/28? Will we still able to practice test / drill? If not, what can we do to ensure we have study material during these outages in service?

I’m based outside the U.S., currently prepping for law school apps (Fall 2025 cycle), and already took my first official test. I’d love to connect more directly with international test takers. If you're also studying for a retake, want to share strategies, or just need mutual accountability comment if you're in!

Hi all!

When I went through the 7sage curriculum I remember there were nice flowchart study sheets linked to some of the lessons, but I can't seem to find a lot of them. Does anyone have the link to the extensive LR and conditional reasoning one?

Where do I find my confirmation number? If you are taking the August 2025 exam, does anyone already have there's already?

You can export your Drill results from classic.7sage.com to new 7Sage here:

https://7sage.com/users/settings/practice/import/classic

This will work as long as your email address for both accounts are the same. Unfortunately, BR results will not import nor will Drills taken on the obsolete 2-digit format PrepTests.

I usually do all Cs but recently tried all Ds & I feel like D was less common. Does anyone have a certain one they always do and why?

Hey guys, I took the June LSAT and I didn't score what I wanted. Im taking it again in August and feel more prepared. I was wondering if anyone had any input if I should sign up for the September one or if I should wait till the October one? HELP!

I've become really inconsistent on my PT scores. For the last ~7 PTs I've taken over the course of the summer, I've started to jump between mid-high 160s to 170+ basically every other PT. I've scored above 170 enough times that it feels like those aren't flukes but I also cannot tell what is going wrong on the PTs that are on the lower end. Any advice on being more consistent? :)

hi! posted this on the new forum as well, but in case it didn't cross-post:

looking for some advice. in the past month and a half, i've scored 180, 180, 179, 173, 175, 171, 171. I feel like I've been studying just as hard and focusing on my weaknesses in the same way that brought me to those high initial scores. I'm not sure what I'm doing differently to account for the drop. I haven't been particularly stressed or overwhelmed, and nothing major has changed in my lifestyle. Maybe the PTs in the late 130s were just easier for me than the ones I'm taking in the 140s?

Has anyone experienced something similar, and do you have any advice? My test is in a month and I'd like to reach my full potential again.

Hello!! I am looking for someone who wants to get together in person to study in Charlotte. I am aiming to take the November or January exam !! Please let me know if you’re interested and available.

I seem to have some trouble grasping lawgic diagramming. does anyone have tips? Once things get a little bit more complicated I seem to have trouble pulling some of the correct parts.

Hi everyone,

I’m currently signed up for the November LSAT, but I’ve been feeling really stuck and could use some advice. My practice test scores are still in the 140s, and even though I’ve been studying consistently, I’m not seeing the improvement I was hoping for. I’m aiming for at least a 157, but right now that feels out of reach.

I’ve been using 7Sage to go through the core curriculum and drilling with LSAT Demon (Basic plan), mostly focusing on Logical Reasoning and some Reading Comprehension. But honestly, I’m not sure I really know how to study. I watch the videos, do drills, and review my answers — but I don’t feel like I’m learning how to avoid the same mistakes or actually build better habits.

Reading Comprehension is by far my worst section. I feel like I’m always running out of time or just completely missing the structure and purpose of the passages. Logical Reasoning is a bit better, but I’m still not where I want to be.

I’m thinking about upgrading my Demon plan in October to get access to live classes and more targeted help, but I’m also wondering if I need to change how I’m approaching my studying in general.

If anyone has broken out of the 140s — especially using Demon or 7Sage — I’d really appreciate hearing what worked for you. How did you improve your Reading Comp? How did you review in a way that actually led to progress?

Thanks in advance — I really want to make this happen, but I know I need to work smarter if I’m going to reach my goal by November.

Does anyone have any LSAC forum experiences to share? did anyone get any positive or negative experiences out of it?

& the subsequent drinks social hour at the bar with fellow 7sage LSAT members?

I really appreciate the open bar since I am unsure if I can afford drinks in nyc ($21 for a drink? that is a week+half groceries). The drink the bartender gave me was bitter and made me want to throw up a bit but drank it down like medicine. After wards walking to Times Square I saw the lights and people while some people were imitating me as if I was wobbling (even though I was sure I was not).

I plan to add my experience below within a day or two:

Recently, the Priorities section of my analytics has been super bugged.

Tags are often ranked as higher priorities than they should be. Some tags in which I have 100% accuracy are ranked from "highest" to "medium" priority, and all RC tags are labled "highest priority" except one.

Here are some screenshots demonstrating the problem:

Is anyone else experiencing this bug? How can I report this to 7Sage?

I hit a wall early in my prep. I logged every wrong answer religiously in the notes section. But after a month, I realized I wasn't learning; I was just hoarding my failures in a list I never wanted to look at again.

I was spending hours managing data when I should have been fixing the underlying logic flaws and rewiring my old ways of thinking. I realized that re-reading the same question wasn't helping—I was just remembering the answer, not learning the rule.

The inefficiency was driving me crazy. About 70% of my journal was stuff I had already learned from, but it was buried in with the difficult concepts I still needed to work on. I was wasting an hour a day reviewing a massive wall of text just to find the few questions that actually mattered.

I eventually built a tool to fix the workflow. It filters out what I already know and uses AI to verify I actually know the pattern of the difficult ones by generating new variations. If I got it right, it schedules review for longer. If I get it wrong, it shortens the review period so I can focus on the questions that trip me up most. I went from a 157 to a 173 in a few months, and I really think it's because I used this as a "hyper efficient" wrong answer journal to find the signal in the noise.

Does anyone else have a good system for "pruning" their wrong answer journal? Or do you just let the list grow forever, or skip out on using it entirely?

Hi - My question is whether or not it makes sense to retake the LSAT in April (if I can improve) as a potential tool for getting off of a waitlist (in addition to LOCIs)? I know nothing is guaranteed, but if it could help me get off reserve and accepted, prepping is worth it, but I don't want to do it for nothing. If anyone has any experience with retaking the LSAT as a waitlist tool or any advice, please let me know!!

I have a 163 from the October and November tests last fall. My score didn't change between tests even though it had drastically in prep - I only started 7sage after the October test. I applied with that 163 this cycle. I got waitlisted (reserve list) at Cornell, which is my first choice school. My BR pts had hit 17mid and my official lawhub practice tests well above 163. Honestly the idea of retaking it makes me nauseated, but I do confidently believe I could do better than a 163 on test day after the past few months of a break from the LSAT and applications.

Follow up question: Would the schools I have yet to hear back from see my April LSAT registration? Is there a risk they might put my application to the side as a hold for a future test this late in the game, and is best practice to email all 12 schools I haven't heard from to say don't hold, or is that unnecessary? Pretty much every single remaining application is currently under review (I applied in December), so I don't know if I should call attention to it, but I certainly don't want to delay my decisions through the end of April!

Thanks!

Does anyone want to help keep me accountable? Like spam me lsat stuff :)

I get that it's supposed to mimic LawHub's new look for the August 2026 LSAT, but I've gotten so used to the older version and the way its tools are formatted that the sudden change has thrown me off of my study rhythm. For example, I tend to rely on crossing out answers a lot, and it was super convenient when I was able to directly click on that button for each answer I could focus more energy on closely reading my remaining answers. However, with the new format I have to press an on/off button for that option before I'm able to cross off answers, which diverts away a lot of valuable focus I could instead be using on carefully reading the question and answers. I could be overreacting though.

I really wish there was an option to toggle between the old and new versions so I could focus my energy on the questions first and then get comfortable with using the new format's tools later.

Hello,

I'm just getting started with 7Sage, but before I found out about y'all I already started practicing using the free LawHub practice tests and drill sets (specifically prep tests 140 and 141, the first 5 LR drill sets, and 3 RC drill sets). And I was just poking around to give 7Sage a shot, but then I saw one of the first lessons used the "Spanish 101" question from prep test 141, so I'm worried that I'm going to be exposed to a lot of the same questions. I haven't subscribed yet, but when I do, will the completed questions be synced over from LawHub? Or is there some other way to mark them internally?

(P.S. I'm optimistic about so far about 7Sage, given my previous strategy was to track all my question types in Excel and use a complex formula to figure out my weakest areas and then seek out similar problems in borrowed LSAT prep books... 7sage definitely seems more streamlined. And it even has games!)

Edit: I just realized my PTs were automatically imported from LawHub and already incorporated into its analytics, so that's great! I'm still not sure about the LawHub drill sets though

I have a question about the new LSAC GPA policy that's supposed to take effect for the 2027-2028 application cycle and whether it would make sense for me to wait an extra year before applying. I attended a 5-year Collegiate Academy program where I took courses at a community college while still officially enrolled in high school. I was originally supposed to graduate high school in 2024. But because of the program, I stayed an extra year and officially graduated in 2025 with my associate degree. During that time, I was on a biology track, and the grades that are pulling my GPA down are mostly from those science and math courses. I eventually realized biology wasn't the right path for me and switched to economics. Since switching majors and attending university, I've been performing much more consistently and haven't gotten anything lower than a B. If I apply this cycle and all of those community college grades are included, my LSAC GPA would likely be around a 3.3 to 3.4. If I wait until the 2027- 2028 cycle, when those high school-earned college grades are supposed to be excluded, my GPA could be around a 3.8, assuming I continue doing well. So my questions are: First, since I didn't officially graduate high school until 2025, would those community college grades earned before graduation be excluded under the new rule? Second, is that implementation date firm or could LSAC delay it again? Third, if I apply this cycle, would an addendum explaining my major change and the upward trend realistically help, or would that 3.3 to 3.4 still put me at a big disadvantage? And finally, given the choice between applying sooner with a 3.3 to 3.4 plus an addendum versus waiting an extra year and potentially applying with around a 3.8, what would you do? I'm trying to figure out whether the addendum and upward trend makes applying sooner reasonable, or if the GPA difference is big enough that waiting a year is the smarter move.
