Hi everyone! I'm pretty new to 7sage. I just finished foundation and now working through logical reasoning. I took thorough written notes during foundations but I am a little stuck on how to best take notes during practice questions. I understand that there are useful topics and lessons that I need to know from the practice questions, but it doesn't seem like the best use of my time to copy down every stem, stimulus, and answer choice to go through them especially since I'll be taking the digital version of the exam. Let me know what you all think! Thank you!

Hi everyone,

I am about two weeks out from the October LSAT and I fluctuate with where I wanna be (157-161), I continue to struggle with finishing RC on time. I get about half way through the 3rd passage before I run out of time and either try to skim the next passage or just guess. Any tips? How do you guys approach RC?

Unfortunately for this PT, RC was at the very end so I was pretty burnt out. Im not sure what happened to the 1st LR section but glad it was experimental lol.

Hey all, my biggest issue I think, a side from performance issues in LR which I think I can address, is RC.

For the record, I guessed on the first 5 questions in S1 and last 5 in 4. I am trying to prioritize the passages with the most questions to get the most bang for my buck.

Im pretty comfortable with my reading pace, it usually ranges from 3 to 3.5 minutes, maybe longer if there is science or law passage cause I like to bit more time on them, but I see a lot of questions that are over the benchmark by at least 1 minute that I think are really eating away at my time.

Usually implied questions, but I think I need to find ways to slowly shave off the time spent on some of these questions. Any advice or strategies that have been working for people? Right now im doing at least 1 RC section a day and slowly shortening my time limit from 45 minutes to 35 minutes just to get a bit better with my pacing.

Also, this is my first 160 and my first time getting a 4 on LR, so there is a silver lining I think!

I just received a couple of messages from an account created less than an hour ago saying that they are giving me free tutoring.

When I saw the message my mind immediately thought this was some sort of a scam because it shared its whatsapp number area coded China.

Has anyone received anything like this?

Hi! I did not expect to write 2 posts a day, but I am a curious potato so I had to ask.

I noticed that some analysis of questions show the bar to fill all 5 squares, but the average people who get the score is really low, or the percentage of people who get this right is high.

Is this normal? Or are they in the middle of collecting data for more accuracy?

I got a question right that I thought to be hard, but when I saw the analytics I was very confused.

Below is what I mean 😊 Thanks in advance!

Has anyone made a quizlet flash card set to drill basic "do's and don'ts" for the question types?

I just took PT 117 and scored a 168, which is my highest PT ever! I started my LSAT journey in the fall of 2024, but didn’t really start studying full time until the summer of 2025. At the time, I was using another test prep company, and ultimately got to a 162 PT before taking my first official LSAT, which I scored a 157 on. I retook it twice and scored a 153, which was super disappointing. I still tried applying to law school anyways, but ended up only getting rejections and waitlists. I took a few months off from studying, and started studying again this summer. Last month, I officially joined 7Sage with the live plan, and I really feel like I’ve learned a lot from them (big shoutouts to Henry, Eric, Emily, and Bailey)! Still, even last night I got a 40% on a timed LR drill, so I was feeling pretty discouraged going into this PT, and I’m hoping it’s not a fluke (usually I’m getting 80-100% on my drills though, so I’m hoping the 40% is a fluke and not my score tonight). I’m so shocked. Really, I never thought I could get a 168. I plan on taking the November exam, and really would be happy with 160+, but this gives me encouragement to keep working towards 170+. If anyone has any tips on how to get there, I’d love to hear them! Anyways, I know this is a lengthy post, but I really just wanted to express my gratitude to 7Sage and the instructors who have helped me get here. I really thought I was forever stuck below 160.

Hi everyone,

I could really use some honest advice.

I started preparing for the LSAT in late April 2026 with a diagnostic score of 149. I’ve been studying with the 7Sage curriculum for about five months, but unfortunately, I haven’t seen much improvement in my score. My last two PTs were 150 and 151.

I need at least a 160, and I’m planning to take the LSAT in November, which is only about a month away.

Has anyone been in a similar situation? If you were stuck in the low 150s, what helped you finally break through? Did you change how you studied, focus more on drilling, review mistakes differently, or postpone your test?

I’d really appreciate any advice or insight. Thank you!

Fml…

Hello all! I am taking the October 7th test and I am little concerned given my PT range. My goal is a 170 but I would happily apply to law school with a 163- 165. My highest PT was a 160 (which I have scored a few times in the last few months) but the range is between 153- 160; my BR range is 165- 175. Given there is only 10 days before my test, is there any hope I will get a score I will be satisfied with on actual test day? Any advice for the 3-5 point boost? I will be taking my final PT tomorrow before by official test date.

I am also debating signing up for the November LSAT test as a precaution because the deadline is fast approaching and I am so unsure of my score.

Background info: I am applying got the Fall 2027 cycle as a mature student. I finished my degree in 2021 and have been in a the workforce for 5 years. I have a 4 years honours bachelor degree but did not go to an accredited university (I am from Canada and went to a college instead). My GPA was 3.4 for the last 2 years and I believe a 163- 165 would make me a competitive candidate considering my work experience.

No matter how much I practiced, always overwhlemed by fresh material, resulting in rigid followed instinct, got no substantial improvement.

I’ve been having a lot of trouble with the tougher principle-application questions, especially when the triggers are worded in a convoluted way. I’ve noticed that my problems usually show up in two ways:

1. When the wording is really complicated, my brain seems to give up on comprehending it.

• I’ve mostly overcome this by forcing myself to stay calm and break down the sentence structure, isolating the subject, action, and object piece by piece. I think the key here is building tolerance for difficult language and being patient with yourself instead of panicking when a sentence doesn’t immediately make sense.

2. My bigger issue right now is retaining the triggers once I move into the answer choices.

I can usually comprehend what each component of the principle is saying, but my short-term memory is pretty limited, so I struggle to keep the entire principle active in my head while evaluating the choices.

Here are the strategies I’m currently using, which seem to help somewhat:

1. Identify the prescriptions (necessary conditions), memorize those, and largely disregard the triggers (sufficient conditions).

2. Go into the answer choices and immediately eliminate any conclusions that are unreachable—i.e., conclusions that negate the necessary conditions stated in the stimulus.

3. Once I identify the reachable conclusions, write down their corresponding necessary conditions, then go back to the stimulus and see whether the triggers fit. lol

These strategies have helped a bit, but I’m wondering if there are better ways to improve my ability to comprehend and retain principles, particularly the really convoluted ones.

Do you guys have any techniques for building tolerance for difficult principle wording or for keeping the principle in working memory while going through the answer choices? I’d especially appreciate any tips, strategies, or personal experiences! :)

New: Training Modes for Drills, Sections, and PTs

You can now turn on training modes from the dropdown below Timing on the drill and section start screens. For PTs, it's on the left under Format.

We currently have 2 modes:

• Immediate Feedback (drills only)

  This isn't new. We've just moved it into the dropdown and given it a visible name. In this mode, you'll see the answer and explanation after each question or passage instead of at the end of the drill.

• Anticipation Mode (drills, sections, and PTs)

  This is new. Answer choices stay hidden until you click to reveal them. This encourages you to think about what you're looking for based on the stem and stimulus before you see the answers. You can use the three-dot menu to turn Anticipation Mode on or off in the middle of an activity. The change takes effect immediately.

Settings don't carry over: A mode applies only to the activity you're in. For each new drill, section, or PT, turn it on from the start screen.

******

Let us know what you think about these modes or any new training modes that you want to see.

I've always heard the recommendation of writing an actionable item / tip for yourself when you miss a question in your WAJ to not make the same mistake. When the issue was misunderstanding the ACs or stimulus, i understand that the actionable item would be to read slower or translate to myself. However, often I feel like I can't think of a more specific actionable item for other types of mistakes. Does anyone have advice?

so today i blind reviewed a 20 pt increase on one of the sections that i took timed; and about 2 weeks ago i BR a full length, timed PT with again, a 20pt increase. i've been studying for this test for over a year and my goal is a 170. i think the timer is really throwing me off. does anyone have any tips or suggestions to help me with this? i'm trying to register for the November LSAT to apply for this cycle but i'm not confident at all. i'd be appreciative for any feedback, thanks!

I wrote a post about feeling defeated by plateauing. A few people reached out and gave me great advice. From my comment to reading comments on other posts, I feel so thankful to have this space! Thank you to J.Y. for bringing us together and instilling confidence in us, knowing that life may be difficult, but challenges are worth it. Peace and Love.

I finally have my LR where I want it, but then just got destroyed by the RC.

Hey all,

Last two timed PT results:

Last Week: LR -2 LR -8 LR (EXP) -2 RC -0 -> 167

This Week: RC -6 LR -2 LR -0 LR (EXP) -1 -> 170

Putting a message here to ask if anyone has struggled similarly with consistency in tests across sections. Results like these make it difficult to study because my weaknesses seem to be changing in the wind. Feels like I improve one section and then another one suffers. Glad I brought my score up a few points but it still feels like the goalposts move on me every week. Anyone have thoughts/tips/similar struggles with these kinds of results? Anything appreciated!

Hi everyone,

I am taking the October 9 exam, which means I have about two weeks left until I get this test done. As I’m sure with most people, stress and anxiety around the test heightens when getting closer to the LSAT, and I am certainly no exception. My goal score is a 165, yet my recent PT’s aren’t giving me much hope (I’d actually be okay with a 160, my highest pt is a 159 with a 168 BR).

Getting to the point, I have not had a support system for the LSAT. My parents have graciously paid for my entire 7Sage subscription and half of the LSAT fee (which I will one day reimburse them for, but that’s a surprise), but that’s all I have. None of my friends have asked me how I’m doing, and although they do try, my parents don’t really, get, how the LSAT works.

So, my question- in these last two weeks where things are tough and I want to quit and I’m tired and frustrated, what are some recommendations you have to keep me sane while lacking a support system?

Love,

A 20 year old who just wants to go to law school next year

Another hyper-specific question lol, but about a year ago I used a different prep company a lot. I switched over to 7sage earlier this year and have loved it. However, a lot of my PTs show up as "60% fresh" etc., etc., and I didn't know if it were counting drills/sections I did with the other company, which is of course also connected to Lawhub. This is no big deal for me if this is the case, b/c I'm pretty sure I've forgotten those questions. Just wanted to know though

I’ve been finding the 7Sage live Zoom classes extremely helpful and engaging. I really appreciate the instructors and how interactive the classes are, and I've found the live format to be very beneficial to my learning.

I wanted to bring up a small issue I’ve noticed and see if anyone else has experienced the same thing. When someone turns on their camera, Zoom automatically brings their video forward and places it prominently right beside the instructor's video. Of course, this makes complete sense when someone is speaking, since it allows everyone to see who is talking. However, when the person isn’t speaking, having their video displayed prominently beside the instructor can make it difficult to keep attention on the instructor and the screen being shared.

I find myself noticing things like someone playing with their hair, making facial expressions, talking to someone else in their setting, or getting up from/fidgeting in their seat. I’m sure none of this is intentionally meant to be distracting, but because their video is positioned right beside the instructor's, it’s difficult not to notice.

I’m wondering if there’s a Zoom setting I might be missing that could help with this, similar to turning off the chat preview. I’ve tried pinning the instructor’s video and playing around with the arrow/Zoom view settings, but unfortunately I haven’t found a way to keep other participants’ videos from popping up beside the instructor.

Alternatively, I wonder if it might be helpful for students who aren’t speaking to consider keeping their cameras off and then turning them on when they’re unmuted and speaking. I completely understand, though, that people may have different preferences and reasons for keeping their cameras on.

If I’m the only one being thrown off by this, I completely accept that it may just be a “me problem,” and I’ll continue trying to figure out how to work around it! I’d genuinely love to hear what others think and whether anyone else has experienced the same thing. 💗

Hello, guys I have my profile open so u can see my stats, as well as my drills stats, but I am genuinely curious if anyone has made a jump from the 150s to 160s in 8 weeks. btw cant afford tutoring rn, and I am unemployed ( recession lol), so I can dedicate as much time to the LSAT as I want. I scored a 153 in August, but my test anxiety was sooo bad I legit didn't sleep the night before. I think if I slept, I would've scored in the 155-156 range. I want to score 162+ in November, which I know sounds ambitious, but I am willing to do anything. Please give me ur most unhinged methods and what you did for a big score jump for anyone who is in my range. I know it sounds ambitious, but I am choosing to be delusional and aim high!
