This is of course something that is so welcome and I am not trying to second-guess myself AT ALL (especially since I am taking the September exam lol). However, I just feel like this is a fluke since I feel like my PTs have never broken into the 170s before and I very consistently fall into -5 LRs, especially with conditional reasoning mistakes. Any advice on trying to replicate this come test day?

I don't normally do this but I've just been feeling so nervous and stressed out. I hope there's other people who can relate to this. I've been studying for the LSAT for two months. I'm taking the test on Friday and I'm just simply not ready for it.It wasn't my decision to only study for two months, I was pressured by my family into registering for the September LSAT. I spent the entire summer studying full time and I've been so miserable. I don't go outside. Every single day I've been studying and studying. I've made good progress but I need more time. I don't feel comfortable having to take it when I'm not where I want to be right now. I'm a first gen student and with the current political climate, my mom has been pressuring me into applying for law school this year. She just doesn't understand the process and it is really frustrating. I'm under so much pressure it's unbearable. I'm posting this in case anyone else relates and wants to talk about it.

I was wondering why cant 7sage have a Wrong Answer Joural section in their platform?? Would be a great addition I believe.

Hey guys! Usually my accuracy is really good while drilling & doing sections but these most recent sections and PT's (PT 151 and 152) are really taking it out of me. They feel more taxing and I guess they're exposing an underlying mistake I keep making so is the idea to just review and try to figure out how I can tackle the questions I am missing better? For reference I usually get about -2 per section with a comfortable amount of time left and recovering my misses in BR but these recent sections have been around -5 with me running out of time and my most recent one I only ended up recovering one. Are there any tips on how to recover from a slump? Should I kill volume and only review for the next couple of weeks? My drilling is still very good so should I start only drilling level 4 and 5 questions from more recent prep tests? Taking the November LSAT

Hi!

Every drill, section, prep test etc I do - I always do so well on the blind review, but can't seem to get it right the first time when it counts. Any tips to trust your gut more? Or does anyone know why it just seems to click the second time around?

Hi guys!

Last year when studying for the LSAT I was hitting around 156-158 which I was fine with. I took the LSAT and got a score in the mid 140s, which was incredibly disappointing. I took it remotely, and there were some issues so I am not sure if that was the main reason for the huge drop in my score.

I am taking it again in October, and have been scoring in the high 150s and low 160s with BR in the high 160s low 170s. I am incredibly nervous that my score is going to drop into the 140s again when I take it. I get very nervous and anxious when I am in that kind of setting.

I have been studying at coffee shops and at the library to get used to people getting up and moving around.

Does anyone have any tips on how to manage my stress when taking the official test? Has ayone dealt with this issue before?

Thanks!

does any1 have any tips, i did my BR directly after and the difference is pmo 😭 pls i feel like i do okayish during my drills and stuff but i swear every time i do an actual full test at once i be on some bs.. writing for october and my BRs have been between high 160s-170, i feel like my drills and BRs just arent indicative of my actual performance i feel like i doubt myself a ton when im doing a full test...

Hi there, this is my first time taking the LSAT and I'm a bit nervous about taking it remotely. Could people share their experience on how they prepared their rooms and laptop/PC before their exams? I'm taking it on a macbook.

Thanks!

SA is the question type I fluctuate the most on: 7/7 on the Fast Track drill set and on normal 12 question sets I get anywhere from 6-12/12. There are just so many little nuances in how you approach each different SA question that can affect your reasoning, I'm wondering if anyone has any tips on how to better approach these questions as a whole so I feel less like I'm guessing what the correct answer is.

Also, the stim's for this question type seem to jumble my brain the most: does anyone have any tips for how to better parse them?

I have plateaued around 160, even though I have been studying for 5 months. And I feel like I'm regressing. I have been losing faith in myself and studying less. How do you all keep yourself motivated and on track without burning out? I'm nervous I'm not cut out for law school.

I just took pt 156 and did so awful I feel like throwing up. Literally did worse on it than on my last two actual LSAT attempts. I'm genuinely sobbing at the library right now. I have no idea how I'm gonna reach my target score of 165 when I just got a 153 on this PT. I hate this test so much it literally kills my spirit. Gonna review it tomorrow but I just feel so discouraged right now.

I decided to take a night off of studying for my birthday. That turned into a week off, due to my youngest catching the back to school bug and then passing it to me. This morning was when I was supposed to jump back into the swing of things (I work overnights). I’m sitting there procrastinating the night away and finally just do the dang thing and start a drill. Immediately get an itchy and irritated throat and an overall ‘I don’t want to do this’ sense. Pause my drill and pull out a cough drop and the first thing I see is it telling me to “buckle down and push forth”. Then I read the rest and just laugh at the irony and get back to studying. May my halls wrapper motivate you all as well.

Can anyone explain the difference between assumption and inference? I'm having a difficult time distinguishing the difference on LR questions!

After plateauing in the mid 160s for weeks before the September LSAT, finally got into the elusive 170 club. Keep grinding y'all. Best of luck next week!

Does anyone have any advice for not psyching yourself out on harder RC passages? I find myself freaking out and having to re-read over and over again because I convince myself I can't understand the passage. I've tried focusing on finding the structure/opinions/etc., slowing down, taking deep breaths, and even powering through, but then I finish and I have no idea what I just read. Any advice?

It's been a few weeks since our last forum post on games. Since then, we've added:

• Tone Tasting 🍷 (detect author's attitude)

• If-Then Blitz 👾 (identify sufficient and necessary conditions in conditional statements)

• The Monster Files 🫈 (practice strengthening/weakening causal arguments)

Check them out and let us know what you think!

We're also rolling out various other updates each week to other games (adding additional content, adding pause functionality for games that involve timing).

I wanted to share this as a PSA for anyone participating in or organizing study groups on 7Sage — and, hopefully, as constructive feedback for 7Sage itself.

I recently created a free study group for the November LSAT. The goal was simple: get people together consistently, review PTs, work through difficult questions, and help each other improve. Around 20 people joined.

Then someone joined and immediately began soliciting members for a paid course.

I’m going to link their profile below. Please do your own due diligence before giving anyone money or personal information. I’m not interested in making accusations beyond what I can personally document.

https://7sage.com/discussion/profile/Ethan%E2%80%8C

What really frustrated me, however, was trying to figure out how to deal with the situation.

As the person who created the group — and therefore has some responsibility for the environment and the people I invited into it — I expected to have some basic ability to moderate it.

Instead, I couldn't find a way to remove the person from the group, and I couldn't find a straightforward way to report the behavior.

I also tried to communicate with 7Sage about it, only to discover that there doesn't appear to be an actual human being available to talk to. You're essentially left dealing with an AI/bot support system.

That was really disappointing.

There is a tremendous amount of money involved in LSAT preparation. Students are spending hundreds and sometimes thousands of dollars on courses, tutoring, and prep materials. If you're going to provide a community environment where students organize study groups, I think there should be some basic safeguards:

• The ability for group organizers to remove disruptive or inappropriate members

• A straightforward way to report suspicious behavior

• A way to contact a human when there's a legitimate moderation issue

• Most importantly, some protection against unsolicited commercial solicitation

I won't go into the full extent of the gray market surrounding LSAT preparation — and the ecosystem that LSAC inadvertently props up — at this time. But please, be extremely careful before spending money on a third party. Do your research, verify who you're dealing with, and don't assume that someone offering a product or service through an LSAT community is automatically legitimate.

I also found that the platform lacks some of the collaborative tools I was hoping to use, particularly around screen sharing, marking things up together, and whiteboard functionality.

https://7sage.com/discussion/62242/question-for-people-who-use-discord-for-study-groups

I genuinely wanted to keep the group on 7Sage. I don't particularly like moving people onto third-party platforms (not even to mention all the drama with discord), which is why I tried to make this work here in the first place.

Unfortunately, I don't feel comfortable organizing a group when I can't adequately moderate it.

So I'm dissolving the original group and moving the new one to Discord.

But I don't want the takeaway from this to simply be “7Sage bad, use Discord.”

I actually like what 7Sage provides. I have personally paid real money for this resource, I still will continue to pay money for this resource and the reason I created the group here in the first place is because I believe there is tremendous value in students being able to help each other.

That's exactly why I hope someone at 7Sage sees this as an opportunity for improvement rather than simply a complaint.

If students are going to use the platform to build communities, they should have the tools to keep those communities safe, useful, and focused on studying.

I learned something from this process, even if I wish I hadn't had to learn it this way.

I'm still going to try to build the community I originally set out to build. I just have to do it somewhere else for now.

Hopefully, something positive ultimately comes from the experience.

I have been taking LR sections, as well as drills consistently over the past couple of weeks. Not sure what it was but suddenly it has begun to feel like the clock is playing a big role in my answers. I am scoring well during Blind Review, and often I can recover all of the questions I missed during Blind Review very quickly, but when doing the sections or drills live I make simple mistakes. Any advice on how to get Blind Review and Live Scores to reconcile?

My goal was and is to get a 170 or greater. I started studying with a free class in fall 2025. In this class, we learned the basics and walked through questions. We were supposed to do two PTs a week, but I just did one PT a week and sort of fell behind. I locked in in December 2025 and studied every day for about 3 hours (I read the RC bible and did two sections a day then reviewed that night in my wrong answer journal). Before the test, I got a 170/173 once and was averaging mid to high 160s. I got a 160 on the February LSAT of this year and haven't studied since.

I really struggled with reading comprehension timing. Some passages I just wouldn't understand and I would get entire passages wrong. Reading has always been my strength but the timing, even with the tools given to my by the free class and the RC powerscore bible, I could not increase my score. I did a lot of practice and outside reading with the strategy of reading for structure, arguments, etc. and was never really able to master the timing of it all and the challenging questions would just often seem to extrapolate more than I was comfortable doing.

I got pretty good at LR after a lot of practice, still struggled a little bit with timing but was mostly got 1-4 wrong one every section.

I am restarting my studying with the goal of taking the February 2027 test. I'm a week into 7sage core concepts and have watched most videos on 2x speed, there have been a few tools that could be helpful in helping me perfect/refresh my LR but I feel like I know a lot of what these videos are explaining. Any advice on how to go about preparing for the Feb 2027 test? and improving at RC beyond external reading for structure/POV/arguments and a ton of practice?

Just wanted to say - love the way that Sage AI was incorporated into the platform. It's been really helpful and almost like I'm speaking to an actual tutor :) For example, I've found its really helpful when pressure testing things like... if the answer choice said this instead, would it be more correct. Or, just having it explain something more in-depth than what is currently provided from the written or video explanations (which are still great by the way). Or the best use case, I'll talk it through my reasoning that made me get to the wrong answer choice (or correct answer choice) and poke holes in it, etc...

I'm four days out from writing the LSAT, and I completed two timed sections today as light review and made so many careless mistakes (more mistakes than I would usually commit on an LR and RC section). Could I be experiencing fatigue? How do I work around this to feel ready on test day?

Even as many of my other question types have solidified, this question type in particular seems to be the hold out. I never seem to feel confident in my answer choice. What strategies work on these?

I have been averaging -2 to -4 on RC and then at the end of August beginning of September I am now averaging -8 to -9. I really don't know what to do and I am not feeling good. Any advice would be appreciated!

Why did I go from getting some of the sufficient vs necessary questions right to getting none of them correct?

I scored 156 2 weeks ago so this gave me the confidence I needed. I take my test in October and my goal is 160+.

The LR scores are consistent with what I usually score (I'm hoping to get the -7 down to -5/-6 just so I have more room to mess up in RC if needed) but I feel like my PT scores always depend on the RC section. I haven't scored this well on RC in so long which made me very happy.

My top priority is making my RC scores consistent- just 2 weeks ago I got -15 on RC which really messed with my score. Before that I was scoring -7 to -11 for any RC section. So idk it just makes me nervous that on test day, it feels like my score heavily depends on the types of passages I get- but at the same time i need to remember, no matter what the content is about, the process of reading for structure is always the same!!!

These last two weeks I have been focusing on deeply reviewing my wrong answers for RC and trying to force myself to only read for structure- so hopefully that will help my consistency. Any tips are appreciated!
