Does anyone have advice on how to narrow the range between the score of a timed PrepTest vs the score after blind review? I'm consistently getting a range of about 10 points between both and it is discouraging.

Should I be taking practice tests as I complete the modules? I feel like going 6 weeks without taking a practice test is really long.
I remember reading somewhere that you should show the door in the background of your camera when testing remotely so that the proctor could see it. However, my desk is currently located not in such a position, and I was wondering if previous test takers experienced proctors actually checking that? thank you in advance!! :)
I've been studying for several months now, and I do pretty damn good on the drills and adhering to time constraints, but when I do the actual preptests i'm missing so much! I don't know if its anxiety or the fact that everything that comes up is hard.. but it's upsetting because I have such great hope for the October LSAT. I don't know what to do.
any advice on how to get "high" priority questions correct? I always get low priority questions right, regardless of difficulty level, but struggle with the high ones. Especially in LR
First and foremost, I have to give a huge shout out to Chris Bearne from 7sage tutoring. I started seeing my results plateau at the 170 range, and Chris truly was invaluable in helping me break through to the 17highs. Finding a tutor who will tailor strategies specifically for your weakness, and overall just the rigidity of structure Chris brought was incredibly important. My biggest area of improvement was RC from -10 to -1 to -3, and Chris's techniques was key in that process.
I'll skip everything else that everyone already rave about, like blind review, but the thing that helped me the most was repeating this process over and over again: Prep test -> Go through all wrong answers, even the ones you got right but took too long -> Write down all the inferences you took from your performance on how to do better next time (separated into LR LG and RC) -> read them over and internalize before the next prep test. It seems repetitive and annoying (my final document was almost 20 pages), but ultimately it's a great way to maintain the level of standard needed for test day to go as well as your prep tests. Please feel free to reach out if with any questions!

Anyone know how I can unsubscribe from a discussion thread without having to unsubscribe from 7sage emails all together?
I am scared drills ate giving me false hope. I am able to attempt an answer quicker and eliminate with accuracy. I can get down between answer choices, with one being the right answer ( because before I was eliminating right answers) but on PT's I feel I am not as accurate as when I am drilling. any advice? I have studied the q stems and can easily point out what q type it is. Maybe test anxiety? can anyone offer any help
Hi everyone, apologies if this has been posted before but I would love to hear all of your opinions about taking an LSAT prep test when tired. I have just over a month until I take the real thing and I feel like I haven't taken anywhere enough PTs so would you recommend just powering through or doing everything I can to get enough rest and opt to take the exam in the late afternoon/evening to compensate?
I'm also not scoring anywhere near as high as I'd like (currently around 160) and much of this I feel is due to psychological factors such as timing anxiety, and frustration. My thoughts are that I can work through this in time but again, would love some advice.
Is there anyway to view how long an entire drill set took you? I often take practice sections by adding all the questions onto a drill, while I can see each question and its target Im wondering if there's a way to view how long the whole session took me.

My mental health took a hit due to familial circumstances and I haven't studied in over a month. I think the end of August was the last time I even signed on.
I was feeling so motivated and excited about my progress and now I am feeling discouraged and struggling to get back into the swing of things as I work on my mental health. I think part of me is scared I will be back at square one when I try to jump back in. The bigger part of me is overall lost on how to get back into things. Should I be going back and reviewing old lectures, trying some easier, short drills, taking another diagnostic?
If anyone has any advice or words of encouragement, I would sincerely appreciate it.
I hope everyone is doing well with their prep and reaching their goals, if you're reading this, I know you've got this :)
Hi, after creating a few drills using the AutoBuilder, I know longer see the option to create a drill of the incorrect when last taken - drill questions. Is there a way to get that option back? I don't know how else to practice the questions that I got incorrect when completing the 7Sage drills.
While I am getting more satisfied with my accuracy on the drills, I am consistently slower than the target time. I'm wondering if the target time is set at the very most time that should be allotted for the question or if the target time is set to a bit better than it needs to be.
Anyone know?
I am currently studying 20 hours a week, and I take one or two days off. Each study session goes between 3-5 hours, sometimes I go more than that. This is how my study days typically looks like:
M: Drill 2-3 games and review
T: Drill 2-3 games and review
W: R.C and L.R (drill 10-15 questions), review my answers
Th: finish reviewing my answers from the previous day if I didn't finish. Then drill more L.R and R.C
F: Drill one logic game, 10 L.R and R.C
S: Review my answers and drill the three sections again.
S- Rest
I've been studying since May and I don't see that I am improving at Logic Games and I honestly feel so discouraged. From May-July I spent my time reading some books to learn about the different questions types and worked through some problems but I wasn't actively drilling, I was just reading mostly about the LSAT and using the Powerscore Bibles. It wasn't until August that I started drilling and practicing almost every day. I do review the core concepts and question types, things I learned earlier in my study, but it's been two months of drilling and I feel like I am not improving :/
I haven't done any practice tests because I want to get comfortable with my drilling first and getting my answers right before I take any practice tests. I am doing good with R.C, and L.R I am alright but conditional rules is confusing to me still. Some days I get almost all of my L.R answers and others I don't. L.G I absolutely suck doesn't matter how much I study. What am I doing wrong? Do I need to study L.G every day? Or is this just part of the process and maybe I am being too harsh? I feel like I somewhat wasted my time just reading the core concepts first during those three months of my LSAT study maybe I should've drilled more, I don't know.... I am taking my test on January. If anyone has any tips I would greatly appreciate.
Hey hey! 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. Here's how our Proctored PTs work:
You must register in advance using this link: https://7sage.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZIocOCurT4jHtd7O3BdoLv03bCWpYWw2RKI 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 can be any PT; we recommend one that you haven't seen yet and that is at least as recent as PT 50. 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 Proctor 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 privately message your preference. If only the ProctorU 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!

I have only taken a few PTs. I only have two weeks before my LSAT (I know, I am cramming and it is not ideal at all). Should I take the newest PTs then BR them? I would assume that it won't do me much good to take the oldest ones?
Realistically, I will probably only be able to get through 3-5 PTs between now and then.
I wanted some advice on what pts i should be using to study with one month before the exam, and maybe some ways to go about studying
Hey Guys!
We’re offering in-person classes in several cities across the U.S this fall!

Each class meets weekly for three hours, for 10 weeks beginning in September and ending in November, and includes a full study plan for you to follow during the course. Regardless of whether you are writing your LSAT this fall or in 2024, these classes are a great opportunity to meet with peers and master LSAT skills in a classroom setting!

I was really struggling with the LSAT, that is until I found 7sage! I had already taken the LSAT twice and had gotten a 140 each time. After enrolling with 7sage and following the syllabus, doing drills, and also using the incredible blind review method, I was finally able to score a 151 on the September LSAT! I am going to continue to use 7Sage until I am able to reach my goal score. 7Sage is truly a life saver! I don't know what I would have done without them. Thank you, 7sage!
Is there a way to take a single section of a PT and BR? #help
Hi, I took the September LSAT and scored below what I was scoring on my PT's. I scored a 148. I'm taking the November LSAT and want my mark to be in the high 150's. I drill almost everyday and take 1-2 PT's every week. Is it possible for me to reach this goal in a month? Please let me know if anyone has done this and how, I'd love the advice.
Hi everyone--just wondering how practice tests should affect our analytics? For example, with older tests that have two logical sections, what would the actual score be? Also, do people recommend taking the three section practice tests, or taking tests with four sections?
Why is there no such thing on YouTube? Generations of future lawyers will thank whoever comes up with one of these...
