hey so I am starting to get better on LR however I am doing very poorly on RC. I have accommodations and am trying to understand what I am reading but I do not know what to look for. After looking back I got 9 questions wrong that I was between two answers and the other answer was right.

hey everyone,
I took my argumentative writing portion of the lsat today. I finished the actual essay. I wouldn't say it was my best work but it was okay given the time constraints. my only worry is that I had a number of typos that I wasn't able yo address before I ran out of time. is this nothing to be worried about??? should I be concerned...? should I redo it?? any suggestions would be helpful. thank you!
hi i just started lsat prep a week ago and im kinda nervous because right now im just in the theory section and i havent seen any practice tests yet in all of the theory section. im assuming this would start in practice section? Idk it just kind of makes me nervous. is it normal to not be doing practice tests this early?
Hi, i am currently doing my practice block on my study plan. I took a full practice test on saturday and i have a certain amount of assignments to complete each day. I took yesterday off since it was the day after my practice test, and today is monday and i come to complete my daily drills and i literally cant focus. Like i keep getting them wrong. Is that a sign maybe of drain from the PT, should i stop or push through it?
Howdy Y'all,
I just started my test prep today! Whoo hoo... confidence is high at the moment, but I know there will be hard times in the future. However, the point of this post is to ask how or if note-taking has been beneficial to you. I want to start writing down main points, my understandings, etc. to increase memory note-taking. I just wanted to hear your thoughts, how you take notes (pen/paper, or electronically) or if you even take notes at all! Thanks, have an amazing day!

I have noticed that questions on 7sage tests start easier and then get harder as the section goes on. Is that the case for the real LSAT exam as well? I am assuming that it so, but just wanted to make sure.
Hey guys! I was wondering if there was a way to have more weeks of just practice versus theory, or if i selected "just practice", will I still have acsess to the theory videos, should I need them?
Hi! I am a senior at UC Berkeley and just started studying for the August LSAT. If you are interested in forming a study group (in person and online), please message me :)
Hello. I plan to take my test next week. I'm scoring low on PT. Just took one and got a 131. Can anyone give me suggestions in how to raise my score ?
Thanks to 7sage, I am leaving with a 178! Best of luck to everyone else who’s still studying—you’ve got this!
Hi everyone. I've practiced with every single RC passage in the past 7 months (even the old exams from the '90s that have to be unselected), since that is undoubtedly my weakness on the test, particularly dense science and law passages (I took Oct and Jan LSATS and experienced this on the real exam for sure...). I've also found the RC on my real tests to be more difficult than many of the passages we have available to study, if anyone else has had that thought, I'd really appreciate hearing how you've been studying to prepare for that!
I'm curious what anyone else in this situation has done, if you have any advice for addressing this gap in performance, etc. I'm going to go through all the ones I have with missed q's first, and just refresh for new passages if they seem too familiar, but very open to suggestions or if anyone may want to ask eachother questions about difficult Science Direct articles, etc, anything like that that might help.
Thanks to everyone at 7Sage.
Hello everyone. I am thinking of subscribing to the total prep intensive course. I noticed today that Ryan Towmey and Eric Wang are teaching the course. Can anyone confirm their experience with either or both of them?
Hi! I took the January LSAT and got a 160 but I am really aiming to get as close to a 175 as possible (even though that might not be the most realistic goal). I’m not able to take the June LSAT and I will be applying to law school next application cycle, so I am currently planning on taking the LSAT again in April. However, I am feeling worried that I will not be able to see the score increase that I want, and I don’t know if my study plan is the most effective.
Currently I study every day for about 2 hours Monday through Friday, and I do timed drills/sections and review all wrong answers, alternating LR and RC everyday. I also take a full test on Saturdays. But I don’t know how much this is helping.
I would love any insight on study plans and if you think my goal is possible! Thank you!
How do i add old questions to the drill question bank?
I'm taking the LSAT for the first time at a testing center on Feb. 7th. I am looking into it and realizing that the rules at these testing centers are pretty strict (thought it was much more casual). In the video the LSAC gives for the testing center tutorial, it seems like there is some level of security and a prohibition for bringing in certain items. I have not gotten a definitive answer on this, however: can I bring coffee into the LSAT at a testing center? Does anyone who has taken the test know? I perform better in practice testing while drinking coffee, funny as it may be, so it would be a shame if I couldn't. Please inform! Thanks.
Going to be completely transparent, as an application, I have no idea where I stand. LSAT:146, GPA:3.70, plenty of work experience throughout college, current job I work I deal largely with the legal team and contracts. Going to apply with this score and hope for the best. Wish me luck, Hopefully I can come back to this post as someone who was able to get an acceptance to provide hope to anyone who feels like a bad LSAT score is the end of the world.
Hi Guys, I work full time and study and I find it hard sometimes to be able to dedicate a lot of time each day, only because I cannot get myself past brain fog and inability to focus. Does anyone have any tips and tricks that have worked for them?
January scores released today and I bumped my score up 22 points from my diagnostic in early October 2025!!! The reading comp on January was tough which I think drug me down but overall am happy with the results! Thanks to 7sage for the studying help...couldn't have done it without you!
For reference I studied about two to three hours a day after my 9-5 M-T (I'm a legal assistant at my county's prosecuting attorney's office). On Fridays and Saturday it was more like 4 hours. Took a PT every Saturday starting at four weeks before the test.
A bit of a vulnerable discussion post. I was wondering if there's anyone else that on multiple real LSATs has scored lower than their PT average by a significant amount, and how they were able to overcome this? I consistently score 17mid-high, and cannot break out of the 160s on the real tests. What might the issues be? I'm always struggling to finish but only on the real test. SOS :(
I never performed well on my practice tests to be honest. My best score that I got was a 162 and I was averaging around the 150’s. I just got a 171 on my lsat I took which is up 8 points from my first one in November. I did that increase in around one month as, if I’m being honest, didn’t study much before I got my November score back on the 28th. Prior to that test I only had about 3.5 weeks to study.
Ask me any questions you like! If you are nervous about your practice test scores, there’s definitely still hope for you to get a better score than you think!
Hi all. This is so stupid but I have trouble coming up with an effective study plan. I am a full time student and usually study for about 2-3 hours for the LSAT a day. I am in mid/high 150s and plan to take June LSAT with a goal score of 170+. my hardest section is RC but I am focusing on mastering LR first. if there is a study/daily plan that has helped you or you think will be helpful, please let me know!
I’m not sure what happened my first exam. Nerves maybe? I have drilled over 2000 questions in 3 months and was consistently able to get even the most difficult questions correct within a minute.
Do I cancel my one and only score? I am registered for February already.
Is there a way to reset the core curriculum and redo it all over again? I am trying to do a second pass of it to really solidify my knowledge.
Hi,
Quick question for the 7Sage team: I heard there will be free live classes on 01/29. Will we be able to watch them back for free too?
