I'm almost 3 months into my studies and my best PT is 159 untimed. Any tips on improving LR stamina and speed? I start disassociating after the first section and my focus just plummets. I can't even attempt timed PTs yet; I have never finished a section and attempted all questions. Any study tips or ways to improve focus and not experience cognitive overload? I'm trying to slowly build it up and focusing on fundamentals but wondering if there's ways to speed up the process.

For context, my diagnostic was 139 so I know I'm improving. My biggest issue isn't understanding every question but maintaining focus and processing information efficiently for multiple sections. Did anyone else struggle with this? What can help build endurance and transition from untimed accuracy to timed performance?

😖 Frustrated

Plateauing

Hello,

I’ve taken 3 PTs in the last 3 weeks in preparation for the June test, and I have got a 158 each time. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind this score. I think it’s ok and it’s absolutely better than previous scores I’ve got (including my 156 for the April test), but I am trying to figure out how to improve on it before next weekend. I know that’s not much time but I ran into timing issues with the last PT and just felt so fatigued that I knew I didn’t do well on the rest. I truly think I can get my score up to a 165, but what I’m wondering is if there are any tips or tricks out there that people have to suggest either preparation wise or test taking wise. I can put the time in, I’ve taken multiple PTs, I’ve done the core curriculum (or most of it), I just want to know what else I can do to push past the high 150s. I might retake in August but if I can do well enough this weekend to avoid that, that would be ideal. Thanks!

Hopeful for Thursday!

Best PT and BR score yet leading up to my session on Thursday! Wishing everyone the best as we get closer to next week's exam. We've got this! Stay confident!!

When I am doing drills and I get my results from the drill, I am noticing that I got some of the questions right the first time even though the question is circled in pink during the Blind Review portion of the drill. Is this so they try to trick you into changing your answer? This whole time I thought any questions that are circled for the Blind Review portion needed to be changed because they are wrong.

Can someone confirm please? Thank you!

I've been at this horrible test for over 2 years now, and can barely crack the 150s. I've used every major platform, courses, private tutoring, and nothing moves the needle. I have a 3.1 lsac GPA so to even be considered anywhere decent is near impossible. I'm just so tired and disappointed. It feels like I'm trying to revive a dead horse with holding out hope that the 160s is possible. It just isn't at this point and I should really just pack it up, but my pride and embarrassment are in the way. The more I subject myself to this the worse I feel. I just wanted to vent here because it seems like everyone is so supportive. Is anyone else in a similar boat?

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for some advice on next steps. I applied this cycle and was not accepted to the schools I was hoping for, including Barry Law and Stetson. I’m disappointed, but I don’t want to stay stuck in that feeling. I still want to go to law school, and I’m willing to study again and reapply stronger.

For context, I’m currently active duty military and planning to use the time I have left in service to improve my application, especially my LSAT. I’m trying to figure out the smartest way to approach a retake and future applications.

For anyone who reapplied after being denied, what helped you the most? Was it mainly improving your LSAT, rewriting your personal statement, applying earlier, adding more schools, or something else? Also, how would you recommend structuring LSAT study while working full-time?

Any honest advice is appreciated. I’m disappointed, but I’m not ready to give up.

I'm registered for the June 2026 LSAT (June 5th), which means that the Argumentative Writing should be available to complete by now. I managed to login to ProctorU, download the browser and all that, successfully. The only problem is that the website won't let me register for a new exam to be able to actually complete the Argumentative Writing. Did anyone else have this problem, and if so, how did you figure it out?

I am so bad at these. I am good at LR except for flaw and one other question type. I just can't figure it out. Sometimes I'll find a gap but it isn't the right one. Other times the answer choices are too subtle or I find multiple ones correct. Sometimes I don't see how the answer is really a flaw. I need a way to reframe these/think about them correctly.

Hi guys! I'm taking the June LSAT at the end of this week. I'm just posting to ask if anybody has any burnout-related info or advice.

For some context, I've been studying consistently for about two months now. I haven't really found myself struggling prior to this week. During the second week of May, I took two practice exams and scored a 161 and 162. During the third week of May, I took one practice exam with double time to focus on accuracy and scored a 166, which is my best so far.

Last week, I started working a full-time internship (five days a week, 9am-5pm, plus three hours of commuting because of traffic🥲). My score immediately decreased and I got two 156s. I've had a really hard time focusing on studying each night and I've been feeling somewhat more rushed with the time constraints than normal. I also have ADHD and testing anxiety so thats probably not helping this situation lol. Could this sudden score decrease be from work-related burnout, and has anybody else experienced anything similar? I was planning to take off work the day before my exam to recharge, but now I'm worried that won't be enough to reset my brain. I'm just not totally sure what to do here. Thank you and good luck to everyone testing this week!!

Dear everyone,

Just a quick question. If we have a A correlates with B and then a A causes B type of argument as a weakening stimulus, can we weaken the argument by showing that a new factor C causes B? or does the AC HAVE to touch on both A and B? I am getting super confused with this concept all of a sudden so any kind of help would be greatly greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Fresh PrepTest

I haven't taken any of the PrepTests available on 7Sage yet. Yet, I only have 14 100% fresh ptests left. The rest are all 98% fresh or less. I understand 7Sage uses a bunch of tests for drills and sections, but the algorithm has been giving me questions even out of PrepTests that are explicitly listed as available to take as tests on 7Sage. I've only been using this site for under a month and again, have taken zero of the PrepTests available on 7sage. I'm honestly pretty upset that my preptest bank has been depleted to this level already. How can I preserve the only 14 fresh tests I still have?

According to the AI Coach’s analysis of my most recent PrepTests, there is no longer a specific question type pattern that can be found across my wrong answers — for the most part (and with the exception of an unusually bad test I took while distracted and sick), the questions I am getting wrong are the three to four level 4-5 questions on each test.

When I review those questions, I am generally able to understand both where I reasoned incorrectly and why the correct answer is correct, so I am not incapable of understanding them; however, I often make small mistakes parsing these questions and the possible answers when under time pressure. I think I could benefit from specifically drilling these harder questions to build both accuracy and speed in interpreting them.

Is there a way to drill by difficulty and not by question type?

Hi 7Sage community! I had a quick question about the new LSAT interface that has now been confirmed for adoption starting in August. I realized while practicing with the new interface on 7Sage that in RC, the new interface no longer highlights the portion of the text that the question stem refers to. This is especially confusing and time-consuming when questions ask us to identify multiple sentences (e.g., how does the second sentence of the first paragraph relate to the third and fourth sentences of the third paragraph?). Does anyone know whether the highlight feature will disappear on the official test as well? :/

When would you guys advise to take the last exam before Friday? I took one yesterday, but I want to see if I can crank out one more this week. Do you think it might be too close to the exam to take an entire PT on Wednesday?

First PT Vs Real score

I took my first full length Practice test today and got a 160. My goal is 167-168 by the August LSAT. I was wondering if anyone else could share how much they improved in a 2 month window. Is it doable to get those 7-8 points in 2 months. I’m just curious about other people and their scores. Thank you.

Is anyone else doing the comprehensive study plan and feel like the LR section is overkill? I like all the drills but it feels sooo repetitive. But now when I try and switch the LR section to "balanced" it has my date of finishing tomorrow and I'm obviously not going to be able to catch up.

Right now with the comprehensive plan it has my "practice" section only lasting 3.5 weeks even though it says 5 weeks in the plan. I feel like thats not long enough.

I want to be taking more practice tests and running drills but its taking me forever to get through the LR question types because of this... so I don't know what to do. Please help lol.

What does it mean

When you've studied for YEARS (on and off) and get sub-par, mediocre timed PT scores (153 being the highest) but blind review in the mid-high 160's-177?

Words can't even begin to describe how demoralizing and unmotivating this is...

So I just took a practice test and I looked at my results just to see my score, I was planning on doing a blind review on missed questions but I can't find where to start a blind review, is it unavailable because I looked at my score or am I missing Something?

Hi! This June LSAT will be my first time taking the test. I am wondering what people recommend doing the week before the test? I have consistently been taking two full practice tests a week and drilling throughout the week. Currently, I am scoring where I would like to be.

For those who have taken it before or have more knowledge on this, what would you recommend doing to feel best on test day? I do not want to burn myself out before the test, but I definitely do not want to lose any progress I have made.

Any recommendations would be super appreciated!!

Hi all,

Any advice on how to get faster especially with RC, I find that I am getting the answers I can get through correct but I always run out of time right before the 4th passage. What has helped people? Also any advice for going faster in LR would also be appreciated!

Hello I made an lsat study group on groupme where we can help each other out , ask questions , give each support and tutor each other. This is good way to study for the lsat because we can learn from each other so we can get the best possible score . The more the merrier . This is a good and free way to receive extra help .

Warmups before PTs

Hello! Hope everyone is doing well. I just wanted to get insights on how to warm up before taking a timed PT. Do you guys do a RC passage or a couple of LR questions? If I go directly to the PT, I feel like I can't really "click" until the end of the 1st section.

Any recommendations are appreciated!

Happy studies 😊

Hi all! If I remember correctly, I thought there were summaries of all LR and RC question types, their prevalence, what to look for in right/wrong answers, etc. I can't seem to find them. Does anyone know where I might find these? Thank you and happy studying!
