Hi,

I am currently studying for the August 2026 LSAT. I wrote the Jan 2026 test and scored a 157, and I am aiming for a 165 this time around.

I am currently scoring around a -5 on RC sections (I am happy with this), and around a -5/-4 on LR.

However, I wanted to get some advice as to how I can continue to improve on LR, ideally I can reach a consistent -4/-3.

I've noticed that during timed sections, I will usually get 1/2 easy question incorrect, followed by 2/3 hardest level questions incorrect. During BR I will get it down to -1/-2.

Does anyone have any suggestions on the most efficient way to close this gap?

I am currently drilling my priority tags, doing around 3 timed sections a week, and BRing everything I do.

Please let me know if there is any additional information I can provide.

Thank you in advance.

I have been studying for just about a year. I've taken it twice (both rushed) so now I am finally taking my time. I have been just doing drills recently with an average of a 160 equivalent so i am feeling pretty good. That being said, I want a 160. I've got 7 weeks. Help!

I just got the best score (-1) that I've received on a drill section ever! I recognize this is only a section and not a PT, so it's not reflective of what I'd get overall, of course, but I'm sharing because I'm proud of myself.

For context, my first PT was 157. I'm aiming for a 160-165 on the test in August. I'm planning to test in October, November (if that's possible to take it again so soon - let me know if you know lol), and December as well if needed.

Hi!

I have a little problem with the practice block breakdowns. When you choose your study schedule, ie 3-4 hours a day, it generates a block for that amount of time. That being said, what is counted in that time is only the drills/sections assigned. The issue comes in when reviewing the drills/sections. Reviewing takes about the same amount of time, 3-4 hours, if not significantly longer. There's no day in the study block allotted specifically to reviewing missed questions over the course of that study week. So, with the review, the 3-4 hour schedule finds itself becoming closer to 8 hours of studying per day. Is there a way to update this in order for it to account for review hours? If I were to set my study goal higher, it would only affect it by including 4 more hours of drills/sections, and not any time for review.

I can LR drill all day until the cows come home. 100-75% accuracy on individual drills regardless of question type.

As soon as I start a section, my brain goes kaput. I average around -12 on LR. I literally do not know how I keep forgetting the lessons learned or put the whole picture together. Advice to overcome this issue?

Hi all, I'm about 2 weeks into my studying with a 151 diagnostic, planning to take in September. I have been solely focused on LR right now and watching fast track videos, along with J.Y's LR Basics series on YouTube. I have been drilling about 5-10 LR questions a day as I become more familiar with the different types of questions.

When should I start taking practice tests? I know that's an important part of studying but I don't want to just "waste" practice tests when I haven't even looked at RC yet. Just curious when you started taking more practice tests and at what frequency. Thanks!

So I took my first PT (not my diagnostic, but after about 2 weeks of studying) on June 6th. I just took my second PT today, after a little under a month of studying, and improved by 2 points from the PT on June 6th. Is this normal progress? I plan to take the LSAT in September, so I'm just wondering if there's something I should be doing to speed up my progression.

Hello,

I finished the curriculum and started to take real RC sections and smaller sections. I find that I’m wildly overconfident in how I thought it was going to go, often not really questioning whether I got more than 1 wrong per section but still usually ending up in 160 range with obviously more than one wrong. With Blind Review, I can normally get almost all of them right.

How do you bridge the gap to what you score in Blind Review? It just feels a bit useless since it’s pretty easy to come up with the answers after having considerably more time with the passage. It’s clearly nice to figure out where you went wrong but it’s hard to see how valuable it is just to revisit the passage again and have additional time.

Does anyone have tips or other resources they used to help bridge the gap/get things right on the first attempt? I’m probably 2 months into studying with a goal of low 170s in September and October dates.

Hello 7sage team, I ask this purely out of curiosity, but what's with all the new features? Don't get me wrong, I love them and I want them to stay but I'm just curios where the innovation is coming from. If 7sage has been around for 13 years, why add all this stuff now? Did you guys get funding from somewhere, did you hire a new awesome computer science guy, or just trying some stuff out? Also while you are here reading this and you are currently adding study games.....I do have a previous post about something that could be a RC study game nudge nudge wink wink.

Hello , I've been tracking why I've been missing answers and so far it's either because I was down to two answers but chose the wrong one or I have no idea what the stimulus is talking about . Is there a way where I can learn to comprehend well on harder stimuluses especially the ones where I have no interest in that said topic? I feel like if I can just learn to comprehend on harder stimuluses I can reach my goal score. Any tips and tricks if anybody struggled with the same thing ?

I am starting this post by admitting that it may be a stupid question (or not I am genuinely torn on this) but would it be wise to use scratch paper on the LSAT? I am taking the test in August 2026 and it will be on a computer. I know LSAC has stated they will provide a pencil and scratch paper but would that just waste time? Is it reasonable to study with no paper and pencil? Im afraid I will just waste time by writing but I also believe my accuracy could go skyrocket if I wrote down the logic instead of trying to sort it out in my head? Please give me your advice.

For those who have taken the Argumentative Writing section for the June LSAT, what timeline did you have your submission approved or cancelled?

I took mine and it only says "Exam Initiated" but nothing regarding approval.

Would really appreciate anyone who could share the timeline they had with approval!

Hello,

I have completed the 7 Sage Study plan including the lessons and felt it helped me greatly. While I have not yet received an official score, I have improved from a 155 blind PT to averaging 168-172 on PTs and Drills.

I am now at a point where I score -0 to -3 on LR and average -3 on RC (both need improvement).

I attribute much of this improvement to the study plan generated by 7 Sage which I strictly followed until my September test. After completing the plan and getting to a high level, I am wondering if it makes more sense to generate a new plan, or study using my own plan/schedule (within 7 sage).

My self-generated study plan has been to complete 1 section a day (alternating between LR and RC) and then drill any question types I got wrong as much as my day allows (I work). I also plan to start taking PTs on the weekend (something I typically do not look forward to but need to get in the habit of). While I've seen improvement, primarily in my RC, I question if I could be improving at a faster rate using the 7 Sage generated Plans.

Of course, no matter how I approach questions, I always review deeply those I got wrong or was unsure about. I feel this is the most important part of LSAT prep.

Does anybody, particularly with insight into how the study plans are generated, have a recommendation or can provide clarity on if it is actually more efficient to use the 7 Sage generated plan after completing one "round" of it?

I plan on taking August & September and feel every point is worth the struggle (be it for admissions or scholarship) until that date.

Hi there,

I just wanted to be sure - Do we NOT have an option of highlighting text on RC passages on the real test? We do have that option on 7Sage as we take RC drills.

I just took this screenshot from LawHub. Also could someone confirm the scratch paper policy in general for the tests - In-Person as I understand remote testing is not an option anymore.

Grateful for the clarification.

Hey everyone! I am looking for a tutor to meet with about once a week, I am looking to spend no more than $40-50 an hour, if anyone knows anyone in the new jersey area or highly suggests one that is over zoom, please let me know!

When I BR, I do so untimed, completely starting my logic from scratch, not even checking my "wrong" answer (I review a day or two later) About 8 out of 10 times during timed conditions, its me choosing between 2 answers that truly feel 50/50, and I end up choosing wrong. In BR I am able to finally dissect the wrong answer and confidently get the point after the fact.

How can I increase my speed and accuracy of ruling out wrong answers the FIRST time during timed conditions?? (Sometimes its also misreading a word or two, so I know I need to slow down and stay focused as well.)

*Per AI Coach, main RC areas of opportunity are Implied, Author's Perspective, and structure (purpose in context). Main LR areas of opp are weaken, parallel flaw, and PSA.

Should I just timed drill all of these until my confidence increases? Are there quick things you remember when you see those questions that help you keep an eye out for trap answers?

Any advice would help! Thank you!

Looking for advice for anyone who has actually done the above??? Especially those who struggle with LR.

Planning for September Test. I study every day, usually at least 2-3 hours on weekdays, try to get up to 4-5 hours on weekend days. LR is my enemy... I consistently get about -6 when I do a timed section. That hasn't moved in a month. Almost all my wrong answers are in the last 5-6 questions. When I BR, I usually get between -2 to -3.

RC comes pretty naturally to me, but still will get about -4 to -6 per section (BR around -0 to -1). Science is my worst topic, but I think it's pretty possible for me to only get -1 to -3 on RC with more repetition, so I'm less worried. I split about 80/20 LR to RC when studying.

Feels like no matter what I do I can't move the LR score. Any tips???

*Not trying to be an LSAT wizard, but I can only go to NYC metro area schools, because I have kids and can't move for school. Most schools I need a 168+ with the GPA I have to even get into the lower tiered ones.

Good afternoon, I keep seeing references to the different argument structures for LR. For example, rule-application, analogy etc. Is there a one pager or "cheat sheet" that includes all of the different argument structures? I can't find anything in my study plan.

Hi! I recently took the June LSAT and had a question about how to determine whether cancelling a score is the right decision. I know score release is still a few weeks away, but I wanted to understand the general guidelines ahead of time so I'm not scrambling once scores come out.

How do you typically advise students to approach score cancellation? For example, does the decision depend on whether the score falls within the median LSAT ranges of the schools we're targeting? Or, if someone is aiming for T14 schools, would you recommend cancelling any score below a certain threshold, such as 170, or is that too simplistic of a way to think about it?

Since this was my first LSAT, I'm a bit unsure how admissions committees view lower scores, score improvements, and cancellations. I'd appreciate any insight on how to evaluate the decision when the time comes.

Thank you!

I took PT 154 and had -8 on the experimental section but -1 or -2 on the normal ones. Is there something that made the experimental section on that test in particular more difficult? Those questions are still valid as questions worth examining right? Just trying to understand becuase it's the best I've done in a PT so far and the disparity is driving me crazy.

Hi! One of my big RC weaknesses is split-passages; however, when I try to customize my RC drill, I can't seem to find the split-passage option anywhere in the tags or question types. Is there any way I could work on those specifically?

I would appreciate any help!

I feel like when i am going the "you try" between lessons or even the mixed drills within the lessons, 97% of the time get them right, but when I do an entire section, I go back to 50%. Is this cause I have been set up for success on the "You Try" questions or its it cause I am not rushed or fatugied.

It gets me down bc the lessons make me feel like i am grasping and getting better but when I go test myself, I am back down. Is this common? How should I overcome this?

Hi everyone,

A few years ago, I took a diagnostic test and scored 139. I then signed up for 7Sage and finished the CC in a couple of months but never PTed. Life got in the way and I stopped my studies. I recently picked it up again and started by reading the PowerScore LR and I really liked it. I just took a PT/diagnostic and I scored 150. Still not great but actually happy that I am not scoring 139 now.

Anyways, I am wondering what my studying should start looking like. I am starting my PhD in August and I am planning to apply for law school in the fall of 2027. I will have the next 6-8 weeks to study a bit, and also planning to block of next summer for LSAT. I am also hoping to find 1-2 hours daily during my PhD this upcoming year to study for LSAT.

For my study plan, I am wondering if I should start with drilling and practice with wrong answer journal or do I have to do the CC again? I don't remember much from the CC but I actually preferred PowerScore. When I took the PT, I honestly didn't think a lot about the different questions types and just tried to answer as quickly and as best as I can. So not sure what would be the most useful next steps.

Any advice would be appreciated!!

Just did my first practice test (PT127) and got a 163!! My reading struggled but I haven’t done the lessons for that yet so I’m not surprised! Yay I’m excited to keep getting better! We got this everyone
