In dire need...
It looks like a 7sage subscription automatically includes a $99 charge for Lawhub. If I already have Lawhub, is there a way to link the account so I don't have to pay for it again?
I started my journey about a year ago, with about a 140 diagnostic. Went to 148, then 150, now 155 on the last April test. My average for the last 10 practice tests I had taken was from 158 - 163. After the 150 test, I made some serious shifts in my mindset, study habits, overall approach to review and drill etc. I was starting to feel so good, intuitive, confident. I seriously thought I was ready.
I need a 160 on the August test - 5 more points - it truly will be my last try for personal reasons I don't want to get into on here.This is 3 months worth. Is this doable?
If so, how? Drill each section for now, review? Or practice tests and then analytics from there and review? 76 75 84 85 91 69 is the ones I have left that I haven't taken or were taken long ago. Is it okay to retake tests already taken and see the comparative improvement? In terms of material, how do I use it to my advantage?
I feel so lost, confused, and this shook my confidence down by a lot. Figuring out technology for 30 min and starting late, starting at a much later time than most of my past tests, and during the third section feeling my brain already fall asleep - these are the factors that come to mind, if that is of any value. I don't mean to sound self - defeatist and I'm aware that my situation isn't necessarily unique, but I truly do feel disappointed and so low after seeing this. I really think I can do better, I'm just feeling down and confused and lost as to how I can specifically execute that.
Any specific study guidance (moving forward in my particular situation), words of wisdom, and genuine advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for whoever chooses to respond.
Also, here are my analytics from my last 10 practice tests on here:
LR: -5.7 average
LG: -7 average
RC: - 7 average.
I don't understand how I got a 155 on test day and missed that many more points, like I'm truly so confused. Any and all thoughts and insight would be much appreciated.
Anybody else having trouble with the formatting of the website right now?
I am running low on time before I am going to take my LSAT. Is the RC portion of the curriculum worth going through after finishing LR and LG? Or would it be more beneficial to start PT'ing instead? I have about 1 month to go before my LSAT test date and I just started working through LG.
I plan on practicing (drilling) LR sections every week to stay on top of that and keep practicing while going through the LG course (which is way shorter than the LR course oh my gosh). When I did my diagnostic PT, it stood out to me that a lot of RC questions are similar to, if not the same as, certain LR questions. So, I guess my question is: is there anything super noteworthy that comes out of the RC portion? Or will drilling LR questions suffice?
Hi! If anyone in Seoul is studying for the LSAT, I have lightly used LR Drilling books that I don't need anymore. I can also hand over other materials for free. Please DM me!

This is long overdue. But before signing off completely, I wanted to express my gratitude to 7sage and this community. I've seen people make posts like these and wondered, when it would be my turn. 7sage has been a huge part of my LSAT journey and as a result of this, I saw a 12 point increase on my score. I've been admitted into 6+ law schools and I can finally say I'm done with the LSAT. For a moment I didn't think it would be possible, but 7sage made studying a lot more fun and this community made it a lot more easier than expected. With that being said, I'm excited to began Law school in the fall.
Thank you for everything 7sage and this community.
Just took a PT and my pre-blind review score was almost full 10 points below my average. (Post BR was still around 4 points below by usual pre-BR average)
As I was taking this PT I could tell that I was really struggling to focus but I powered through because I want to make sure that, even if I am not at my best on test day, I am preparing for that. This has really stressed me out though- I'm scared that on the real day I will have another bad day like this and get a bad score, despite all of my hard work. I've been studying for over a year at this point and I've had some drops in score but never to this extent (I mean- this was lower than my diagnostic over a year ago!)
Needless to say, this has really shaken me. Any advice as for what to do next would be greatly appreciated.
I opted into the new "beta syllabus" and now I can't access anything other than logical reasoning. Even the contact button isn't working so this discussion page is my only option. This was my only evening to study this week and now it's completely fucked. What the hell?

I am considering pausing/cancelling my 7sage subscription for a month, as it will be a busy time. I originally purchased my subscription to 7sage in November, along with the mandatory LSAC test access purchase for ~100$. My access to LSAC prep will end in November 2023. If I were to cancel my subscription for May 2023, and restart it in June 2023, would I have to pay another additional 100$ for LSAC again, or would I simply go back to paying my regular monthly 7sage access charge?
As I am working with my tutor and going through the CC and getting more of a deeper understanding or the test, I feel more confused than when I was studying just by drilling and PTing through Khan academy. My scores before were pretty alright, with a high of 165.
Now that I am learning the CC, I feel like I overthink all the questions and I have learned so much in so little time that it is hard to remember it all when I am doing questions. How have you gotten past this? To some extent I know it is just me essentially having to unlearn my intuition which had gotten me to where I was. But how long should I expect that to take?
I want to score a min of 170, but really am shooting for 175+, and while I theoretically have a long time to study, I want to take the Aug. test.
I've been stuck around 159 for a couple of months now. I took a month off studying which I regret because I had been steadily improving and after jumping back in I've been stuck where I left off. My goal is to break through 160, I would be super happy if I could get a 165. Planning to retake the exam in August and have plenty of time to study until then. Managed a 160 on PT92, and a 159 on the Feb LSAT this year.
LG has been my nemesis from the beginning so I've exclusively focused on studying LG. I went from missing about -17 questions to now average -11. I have a couple of learning disabilities that make LG extra challenging, but I would love to bump my average up tiny bit more in this section. My reading comp average is -5, and LR is -6.8. I'm thinking it might be time to switch gears a bit and stop neglecting the other sections during my studying. I drill and review LG a few hours a day for 2-4 days a week and try and take a PT at least once a month right now. I should have a bit more time to study starting May and hope to PT weekly and study 3-5 days a week for a min of 3-5 hours.
I would love to hear any advice about how I should shift my study strategy over the next couple of months to bump my score a few more points by August.
Also curious to hear from other folks with ADHD or other learning disabilities about any unconventional study tips that were helpful.
Thanks in Advanced!
Hi folks! I've been studying for the LSAT very part-time for the last six months. I've definitely improved since I've started. I feel like I understand the test, but I don't feel I'm improving beyond that. I'm reading, drilling, blind reviewing, but I feel like nothing is sticking. I've signed up for the June LSAT, and I hope to make some large strides during May. Does anyone have any tips on how they pushed through and started regularly strategizing successfully? Would love any tips you have! Thank you so much! Happy studying!
I keep a wrong answer journal, and I go back to re-do questions every month. So far I have been finding the PT, "taking" it (but really just leaving all the questions blank until I get to the one I need), then deleting the entire test. There must be an easier way??
Hey 7Sagers!
We're launching the beta version of the new Core Curriculum which teaches Logical Reasoning more efficiently and effectively! If you're curious, go to your account settings via this link: https://classic.7sage.com/account/?try_v2=1
❗ Remember, this version is still undergoing beta testing. You may come across a few quirks or notice some features from Version 1 that aren't quite yet integrated. We're doing our best to fully switch over, and we appreciate your patience as our team makes the switch!
If you want to learn more, you can watch this YouTube video:
💡 Below is a list of Frequently Asked Questions regarding Version 2. If your question isn't answered on this forum post, then feel free to comment and ask below! For now, please keep all questions regarding the new Core Curriculum on this thread. If you have any feedback regarding Version 2, we'd love to hear it, too!
So...what's the difference?
CCv2 (Core Curriculum Version 2) presents LR through a more streamlined and unified theoretical framework. It's not completely different from CCv1, but we've thoroughly explained LR in CCv2. The RC and LG lessons of both CCv1 and CCv2 are the same.
The new core lessons use LR questions from PrepTests 61-65, so if you're down to your last few clean PTs and they happen to be those, then this probably isn't for you. But if you're not worried about running out of clean PTs, then this is a great opportunity to see what we've been cooking up!
Can I switch back to Version 1 if I want to?
Yes! If you would like to switch back to the old Core Curriculum, scroll to the top of our "Syllabus" page and click the "Switch to V1" button. It's next to the "Collapse" button.
Should I immediately switch?
We think yes. Since Version 2 teaches Logical Reasoning more efficiently and effectively, we recommend switching to CCv2 completely. Please note that the RC and LG lessons of both CCv1 and CCv2 are the same. What's changed are the Foundations and Logical Reasoning lessons. Additionally, the new lessons use LR questions from PrepTests 61-65, so if you're down to your last few clean PTs and they happen to be those, then this probably isn't for you. But if you're not worried about running out of clean PTs, then this is a great opportunity to see what we've been cooking up!
I've already completed Version 1. Should I go back and redo Version 2?
In this situation, the best way to utilize Version 2 is to look at which question types in your analytics you think you should prioritize, and then view the new lessons for that question type. For example, if your analytics say that you should prioritize Sufficient Assumption questions, then go study and review the new lessons on Sufficient Assumptions.
Version 2 is shorter than Version 1. Should I be worried?
Not at all! JY has explained the Logical Reasoning lessons in Version 2 in a more efficient manner. The RC and LG sections are still the same.
I'm around halfway through LR in Version 1. Should I switch over to Version 2 to complete LR, or should I stick with Version 1?
With where Version 2 is right now, we think you'll get the most out of your studies by switching over. There's no need to redo modules that you've already done, unless you find yourself needing a refresher, but we think that Version 2 approaches LR in a more unified theoretical framework, which can help with your learning process!
I can't find CCv2 in my Syllabus!
Email our student services and let them know (studentservice@7sage.com). They can switch your account on the back end.
Are the lessons in CCv2 fully complete?
Yes! CCv2 is fully complete and you can use it without switching back to CCv1.
Why are there no video lessons for the Foundation lessons?
JY is currently in the process of recording video lessons for the Foundation lessons. Stay tuned for updates on their availability!
I just wanted input from someone who may be in the same situation as mine.
I took the April exam and registered for the June on already. Whether you are in the same situation or not, would one
be kidding themselves if your goal is to gain 8-13 points with the studying that can happen in the time gap between now and the June exam?
Would you hold taking the June exam and postpone it (as well as your law school journey)?
Hello,
Can someone please explain the blind review process to me because I am not understanding. I am just starting to study for the LSAT.
How does the score conversion work? Like if only 3 sections count, are they accounting for the fourth that we take, assuming we don't take it 'simulated modern'? Or do they just completely not count the experimental section as the actual LSAT would?
Hi - anyone else experiencing this?
When I'm trying to add a class onto my Google calendar using the link from the class session's page, it does take me to my Gcalendar, but it adds the entire 7Sage class calendar to mine. It subscribes me to the 7Sage class calendar so that they all appear, unless I deselect the 7Sage calendar. There's no way for me to pick and choose the class I want, which is the way it used to work for me.
Hey 7Sagers!

Hello everyone,
I was wondering if anyone could tell me whether or not it is possible turn off the green check marks that show your progress in the syllabus? Thank you for your help!!
Hi everyone!
Like most people here, my desire to attend law school is rooted in how much I want to help people. Back in 2020, I applied to law school and was rejected and waitlisted at all the law schools I applied to. Feeling defeated, I delayed a cycle and considered staying in my current career. However, so many posts on here encouraged me to try again. To my surprise, this year I have been accepted into 3 law schools, one of them being my top choice: Washington and Lee!
Just want to encourage everyone on here that if its meant for you, it will come. Do not give up hope!
Thank you 7Sage!
The new version prompt is not appearing on my syllabus. A youtube video explanation of it briefly appeared then disappeared. How do I change over?
Thanks
