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.

So I am new to the entire LSAT/LSAC/Law School endeavor. I am a first generation btw & have been pining about law school for a while (among other things like a job).

I notice that there is a mixer in NYC (where I am located by God's grace) after the LSAC forum. Now I am thinking is the LSAC forum like a significant thing? should I be attending?

What is the deal with these forums? they look rather cursory, perhaps?

I am so lost & focusing on the LSAT but anxious about missed opportunities and really unhappy that I cannot even seemingly get an offer as a volunteer at a legal firm or legal aide or ACLU or some other firm (I have degrees from Harvard & Columbia University & I am a US citizen). They don't want my help with volunteering but whenever I need legal help I can not find a lawyer or even a volunteer to help with legal issues. What is up with that?

Any help would be appreciated, any pointers or referrals.

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!

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.

🙃 Confused

letter of recommendation help

One of my professors writing a LOR for me just moved schools so he is no longer teaching at my school. I just changed the new email on the LSAC site but I'm not able to change the address I had put, which was his old office (i did not know he was going to teach at another school). Is this fine or will this cause a problem in the future?

Dear LSAT-ers,

Good afternoon everyone, I am practicing reading and analysis with ChatGPT and it is really helpful. If you are founding the basic block and interested in training yourself, try it!

PROMPT: Let's start the LSAT LR reading comprehension training. Training type: Identifying Argument Structure. Difficulty level: Close to the actual LSAT. Primary goal: Maintaining accuracy. Please present one question at a time, and provide feedback after I answer.

My skills noticeably improved in just an hour as you can see.

1st round:

12th round:

If you have some free time, why don't you try it!

Have a blessed day:)
