Hey everyone Im writing in the discussion regarding our practice blocks. I was trying to find somewhere on the platform where I can edit my practice blocks so I do not have a practice test every week on them. Is this possible on the 7Sage platform? I'm toward the beginning of my studies and would rather focus on drilling and timed sections rather than trying to squeeze in practice tests every week.

I have been studying and have only been able to reach a score of 142. I would like to achieve a score of 165 by April, as this is my last opportunity for this cycle before I would have to wait a year. I have tried different tutors, but my score has not changed. I also attempted the live classes here, but I found them to be a bit too slow for my pace. While I know some people might suggest that I wait until next year, I consider myself a non-traditional student. I would like to know what steps I can take to make this goal a reality.
Hi everyone,
I have an important question. I have some health and mental health conditions that require me to take extra time when I’m taking tests. My doctors and my psychiatrist have both told me that I can actually request unlimited time as an accommodation.
Is that a real type of accommodation, or are we misunderstanding it? I would really appreciate any guidance.
Sorry for the delay, but you can now see difficulties for PT159.
So when I answer any LR question- I start thinking too deep to the point where I get the Questions wrong, I find a flaw or think "oh this answer requires me making this assumption". How to fix? Like I am doing worse now than I was doing w/ minimal studying.
I was planning on taking the June LSAT remotely, since I study in the same spot each day at my home, and was hoping the familiarity might help me perform better as opposed to in-person. However, after the announcement that June will be the last chance to take the remote LSAT, I have come across multiple horror stories of remote testing experiences (proctors, timing, etc.). I want to make sure this is accurate.
I would really appreciate hearing about anyone's experiences/knowledge about taking the remote test, and or in-person. I don't plan on re-taking, so it's super important to me that I have a good experience.
Thank you and have a great day!
Almost every time I PT there is always a significant gap between my actual score to BR score. I am making gradual progress on LR sections, yet I can't seem to shrink these gaps. Today I scored -8 and -2BR, and my past sections have had similar 6+ point gaps.
I don't know if I am just under too much stress every time I do a section, or if this means I need to work on translation skills. Let me know your thoughts, also if anyone has any tips on what they did to shrink these gaps.
If I am granted an accommodation and test through a testing center (prometric). Do they usually allow you to eat a snack during your 10 minute break?
I am a 27 year old father of 3 with special needs children. I major in Computer science, am in my junior year as a full time student, and currently have a 3.28 GPA (I expect to graduate with a 3.5). I work 19 hours a week in my university's I.T. department as a network technician. Ive worked in the past as a crane operator, bank teller, and Helpdesk Tech. Right now, I am intending to take the June 6th LSAT to make the early application cycle, with hopes of attending Harvard (I know that's a stretch). Before any studying, I scored a 146 on my first PT. I am studying exclusively through 7Sage and don't intend to PT/drill again until at least finishing the core curriculum. My target score is a 176, and I will retest if I am not at least in the 170's.
Am I going about this the wrong way? is Harvard an unrealistic super reach for me? Is 25 hours of studying a week even close to enough? All I read online indicates a score in the 170's requires a minimum (usually more) of 6 months of intensive study...
any opinions would be greatly appreciated, the more honest, the better...
I am trying to do speed practice to mimic the first 10 questions of an exam. I will choose Level 1-3 and not select any specific question type. In 2/3 times I have done this, the overwhelming majority of question have been from a singular question type. Defeats the purpose of the drill...
I really feel like I am on the cusp of making a big score jump - I regularly get -1 to -3 on individual timed sections, but am having such a damn hard time translating this to my full PTs. For RC, I definitely took way too long on the third passage (I usually do third, fourth, second and first passage in that order), but my performance on the comparative section screwed me. And then the last section I lost focus and had to literally guess on the last 5.
Does anyone have any tips for this situation?
Hi everyone, I’m preparing to take my LSAT Argumentative Writing sample at home, but I have posters in my room that I don’t want to take down. I’m not sure if it’s allowed to cover them up, and I don’t want to get flagged. Since I took my LSAT in person before, I’m unsure how proctoring works for this. Can anyone advise me? I need to do this soon and would really appreciate help!
Anyone else absolutely butcher this section? I have been practicing recently at -4 for LR and got -10 on this. Also, there were two questions that stood out to me as so difficult that seemed just straight-up wrong. Like there was not a single correct answer choice.
Like Q25
After watching the explanation, I don't really get why C works. We are supposed to assume that large body = less of a target by predator. But that's not stated in the answer. If anything, you could make the opposite assumption that making the body larger makes them more of a target.
And Q21:
Doesn't really make sense. I guess C is supposed to introduce an alternative expl - that the students did better because they studied hard. That's what is stated in the explanation video. But that requires an additional assumption beyond what is stated in the answer choice. There is nothing suggesting that "choosing" to join an academically competitive team post study implies that those students were more motivated to do well in school. Motive does not equal action.
I recently joined Bailey Luber zoom call for RC Bootcamp and got her Code .IO link. I have been using it but today my computer restarted and I lost the link. Any chance anyone has hers and can send it to me please?
Thank you!!
I get really anxious when I read in the default font, so I always zoom in to an extreme. I use the pinch-to-zoom on Safari, and I was just wondering if this is supported on the LSAT? To clarify, I don't like increasing the font and line spacing, just the viewing window. Would really appreciate your insight, thank you!
Some people have told me not to register until I am consistently PTing at my goal score, but what is considered consistent? I really want to register for April (otherwise I will not be able to sit until August due to immovable scheduling conflicts), but I'm not at my goal score yet and I don't want to waste an attempt.
I feel like waiting until August for my first (and hopefully only) attempt feels so last minute since I want to apply for law school in the 2026-2027 cycle. Am I creating an unnecessary time constraint? Any advice is helpful!
For context - my goal is to get as close to a 180 as possible, but realistically I would be happy with 173+
My last PT was a 168 (BR 174) in jan, and since then I've been scoring -1 to -4 on all practice sections, RC and LR.
Other than in keeping on?
I've been studying using 7sage for years (on and off but more recently, very much on) now. Completed the entire course curriculum (before the Website transfer) and have taken around 3 practice tests. The first two I took were at the end of last year and I got a 153 on both, which were taken a few weeks apart, with blind review scores ranging between 170-177. My most recent practice test, now, yielded a freaking 148(!!!!) and a 165 blind review score.
Between all these tests, I've also done tons of drills and always review the videos for the questions I got wrong, had trouble with, spent too much time on, etc. Same method on the practice tests.
At this point, I just feel like I'm crashing out of a sky I never really got up too high in.
It's bad enough to get a 153 after years of studying and even worse to now drop down somehow to a 148. I also can't really wrap my head around being able to get close to a near perfect score during blind review, which I would think demonstrates some level of comprehension, but getting a timed score that isn't uncommon for someone who has never even looked at lsat study materials to get.
I really need help, advice, etc. Kind of at my wits end here...
***I should mention that yes, timing is an issue for me. I can, on a good session, answer at least 14-17/25-26 questions under LR sections. On the other hand, on RC sections, I'm finding I can really only get to and complete 2/4 passages. In those rare instances I make it to the 3rd passage, I can't finish all the questions for said passage.***
Has anyone else been unable to complete the Argumentative Writing portion?
I tried to connect for 2+ hours today. I have a MacBook Air which meets all the required specs, downloaded the newest OS, updated Chrome as advised, and downloaded the Guardian extension. But when I clicked the test link, it took me to a page to download the Guardian extension again as if it wasn't already there. No matter what I did, I never got past this page.
Numerous calls to tech support were useless, I was advised to do the same few things over and over before they ultimately opened a new tab to connect me to a proctor and rapidly disconnected the chat. Restart computer. Remove and add Guardian extension. Uninstall and reinstall Chrome. Lather, rinse, repeat. The prevailing advice from LSAC, because this is a novel issue, was to "try another computer." Not really a feasible option for me, so I tried going the Apple support route with no success. Then LSAC advised me on the last call this is a "known issue" and to try again in a few days.
At this point I'm beyond frustrated and at a loss. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, how did you fix it?
I took the LSAT this past October and January and obtained a 157 both times. I have already applied to Law schools in Canada, and I am now waiting for responses. Just in case, I am planning to study for the LSAT again in hopes of obtaining a much higher score next November and potentially January as well. this will leave me with nearly a full 11 months to study. I have already studied for about 4-5 months on LSAT Demon.
I am wondering if there is any strategy of specific things I should focus on in order to obtain a high score? How can I best use these next 11 months to obtain the highest score possible?
Hello everyone,
I plan on taking the LSAT in April and I am really trying to get a 174-6. I have been studying for about 3 months but have recently doubled my study time per day considering the exam is in 2 months. My RC seems to be a bit worse than my LR but that depends on the section and is gradually getting better. For the exam I am planning on allocating 3-4 wrong for the RC section and 0-2 wrong for the LR. I tend to score -2 to -4 (-1/-0 on BR) on LR and have only once got a -1. How do I constantly bring this down to a -1 or -0? I have been doing a lot of sections in order to prefect understanding under timed pressure not totally sure if this has helped/will help. Thank!!!!

In this episode, @unknown sits down with Sasha to break down The Game Plan behind his jump from a 151 to a 175 on the LSAT.
Before law school was even on the radar, Sasha worked in basketball management and coaching. Along the way, he picked up habits and mental frameworks that turned out to be a perfect fit for LSAT prep. From film study to practice planning to staying composed under pressure, Sasha explains how lessons from sports translated directly to test day success.
Alex and Sasha talk about how to approach the LSAT with focus, why preparation matters more than motivation, and how thinking like a coach helped Sasha diagnose weaknesses and make steady gains.
If you come from a sports background or just want a more structured, disciplined way to attack the LSAT, this episode is for you.
The LSAT is hard. We’ll help you crush it anyways.
How do Law schools determine or analyze GPA if someone has multiple degrees? Do they look at the combined GPA of the degree put together or each individually?
Also, does having a masters degree help in any way for the application process? To be honest, I do not really deserve the degree... I just did it so I could keep playing college sports, but oh well... I guess I have it
I need to know that I’m not alone.
So I have been studying for months. I really locked in December > January and I took a break from prep tests which really helped me improve I took my first prep test from that month long break last week. After everything went down hill like I was so good at studying and doing better and focusing and now ever since the PT I can’t focus at all and it causes me to do bad. Any advice? Maybe I’m experiencing burnout? Do I need like more sleep less screen time, I read books but it’s been awhile so maybe I should start again to build my stamina?
I was planning on April test date but at this point it’s like maybe June. LSAT is truly one of the most hard and confusing processes.
I am struggling to find a general rule that allows me to identify either by question stem or by answer choice when I can suspect that the correct answer to an NA question will also be a sufficient assumption. An example NA question with a sufficient assumption correct answer is 140.1.22. Does anyone have any general principles or rules?
How does everyone track their LSAT applications? Are their websites or templates that everyone uses?
