Hi All! I am taking the lsat in June and working through my study plan right now. I have fallen very far behind on the study plan timeline and working my butt off to get caught back up. Does anyone have a similar experience/any insight? I have saved weekends for getting caught too but I find myself extremely distracted on the weekends. Any advice/words of encouragement are welcome!

Additionally, I am an undergrad student in norcal... anyone looking for a study buddy?

I just scored a 155 on PT123 (BR 164). I am aiming for 170+ by June.

I've been studying everyday for 3-6 hours since June 2025 (did the whole curriculum, read the loophole, blind reviewed a ton and do drills every day) and I just feel so discouraged. I really thought that I improved and understood the concepts better, but under timed conditions I just keep messing up. i suspect that S3 and S4 were worse due to fatigue and lack of concentration, but I'm still sad that I missed still missed so many.

Any advice?

I know the key difference is that conditionals are always true (they are a rule), while causation is weaker. Does this mean that if you see language like "if A then probably B", it is causal? In general, what are causal indicators and tips+tricks to recognizing causal logic that looks like conditional logic?

Feeling Inadequate

I just need to vent a little bit, I started 7Sage at the start of February. I have noticed some improvements, my PT score after two weeks only went up one point. I'm testing at a 146 currently and I am hoping to take the June LSAT, I will take it in August if needed. If anyone has some encouragement or advice that would be appreciated :)

(Side Note: I love this program, I just don't feel like I am the person that is an LSAT god)

Hi! I'm curious to everyone's experience w/ tutors? I have been studying for about 2 months now and am plateauing at around 160, which is very frustrating for me and I'm not sure what to do. I am considering tutoring, but it is just so expensive that I'm not sure if it is worth it.

Have people seen big jumps? What do they help you do? Is there anyone specific they suggest?

Thanks!

I've been having trouble staying positive/motivated when looking at my sealed vs raw scores. My highest scoring PT was from last month and was a 161 (75/104) but my most recent was a 156 (76/103). The difference in raw scores is very minor (in fact, the 156 is better?), yet a 161 and 156 feel like very different scores to me (and I assume, law schools). There is a greater trend of this happening in my analytics, but I'll spare the additional details.

I understand that which sections are scored/experimental makes a difference as well as whether is is 3LR/1RC or 2LR/2RC (I usually do better on the tests with more/3 LR sections). Is there anything I can do in terms of my studying to increase my chances at consistency/better sealed scores? And how can I stay motivated when my numbers are consistent yet my scores are dropping?

I'm registered for the April exam, aiming for at least a 160. It's hard to feel confident I can hit that when there seems to be so much variation.

Hbcu guys

lol I was inspired by a Howard grad to shoot my shot with finding some hbcu guys to get into this test with. I graduated from NCAT and I have a few people to study with already but I would absolutely love more hbcu people in general. HMU 🫡

For the past few weeks, I have been consistently scoring in the high 150s and low 160s on practice tests and scoring in the low 170s during blind review. I am taking the LSAT in April. Does anyone have any advice on how to close this gap between my scores?

LSAC Strategy Booster

Has anyone used the offical LSAC strategy booster or found it helpful? I received an email about it for signing up for the April LSAT. Does anyone have any tips for using it and/could there be a class on it?

I came across this feature once and now I can't remember where or how. How can I switch the BR from circling my wrong questions and random questions to only recommending the questions I got wrong?

Hey, I know that reviewing mistakes and understanding where I went wrong is important. Sometimes I am able to have that aha moment and other times not- does anyone have advice (other than blind review)

Hi all! I just started the course, and I was looking through the study plan to see where and when we should use the drill feature, but I don't see anything. When should we start using the drill feature? Would it make sense to go through the basics of different LR and RC questions, then start using them?

Video Explanations

Hi I have been doing drills & reading the questions explanations but wanted to check out the videos. Everyone I look it just had a button that says J.Y.’s version but no video ever populates. I thought it was because I have the core package but I believe the videos are included. I have tried switching from Chrome to the app but I can never see the videos. Needing some help on what I am doing wrong😭.

NYC TUTORING

Hi Everyone!

I've been practicing for the LSAT for a bit over a year now and have been stuck in the 160s. I need help getting to that 170+ mark which though at times I feel defeated I know it's within my reach. I'm open to tutoring or really any advice on what I can do? In the spirit of being honest I know that consistency is an issue and is something that I think having the accountability of tutoring will help with.

If anyone knows of or is an amazing, Affordable tutor in the Manhattan or Brooklyn region please reply.

Thank you!

I'm currently averaging -3/-5 on RC sections, doesn't matter if it's a section or full PT. When I BR, -1/-0. I'm taking the April LSAT and I'm hoping to clean my RC up within the next month. Does anyone have tips as to how I can improve my accuracy under timed conditions? Maybe I just need to get more reps in, I'm not sure. Usually I end with 1 Q wrong per passage and they tend to be one of the earlier questions per passage. Any help appreciated thanks.

Advice for RC

Hi everyone! I’ve been having a tough time with RC and my scores on drills and full sections have been pretty low. I’d really appreciate any advice from those who’ve seen improvement in RC—tips, strategies, or anything that helped you would be super helpful.

Turning a new leaf

Hello everyone!

I just wanted to tell you all that I got my score back from my 2nd attempt. 146. 2 points lower from my first attempt at 148. I wasn’t feeling too hot when i opened up my page and saw that.

But after reflecting I’m more determined than ever. I was so sporadic in my studying and practiced here and there. Then boom. I messed up my life with that 146 after convincing myself I could somehow do it.

I was obsessed with applying this year and I’ve come to grips that I can’t. And that’s OK. And I’m turning a new leaf and I’m going to take it slow, practice on a real schedule (not just when I feel like it), and I’m going to do it.

And if anyone else is out there feeling the same way then just know that once you muster that determination then you will do it too.

Thanks to those who read, God bless you, and happy Lent.

Has anyone, either with 7 Sage materials or own their own, created a one-stop summary/breakdown for causal/non-causal logic weaken, strengthen, evaluate (WSE) questions? Similar to how it is laid out in the lesson plans but instead of one page for each topic, it is all on one google doc or excel sheet?

I am currently studying this topic and find I am confusing myself with the 10+ tabs open trying to convert it to my own summary. Before I spend more time on it, I figured I would see if anyone has already done the hard work that I am planning on doing?

At a bit of a loss

As you guys may know, the February scores came out today, and I'm at a bit of a loss. This was my second time testing and I was riding a really good streak of 170+'s on PTs going into this test, but I got quite a bit worse than that. I can't really pinpoint what went wrong with this test, its maybe a combination between bad luck, or being distracted by people in the test room, or I'm just not as good as I think I should be.

Between the classic 7sage and the new one I've been studying for over a year now, and gone through 5000+ questions, and at this point I've pretty much run out of fresh content to drill or PT with. I'm thinking about signing up for April, but I'm really not sure what I can do to prepare at this point :(

Any advice would be appreciated! Feel free to share your thoughts if you're also disappointed by your feb scores.

Edit: Thanks for all the advice about taking PT's in public to get used to more noise! Alternatively, I could consider switching to taking it online, what has deterred me from that before is just fear of technical difficulties. How's everyone's experience with online test taking?
