This is still a very good score for me, but the fact that just a few months of consistent studying can basically guarantee you a score in the mid 150's, thus granting you entry into a decent law school... Let's just say if you told me this was possible when I was starting out I wouldn't have believed you. So to all the self-doubters, to all the ones who took a gap year because they kept questioning if they were really cut out for this or not, I remind you not to give up, your future self will thank you.

Hello everyone, I hope your studies are going well! I have been consistently PTing at a 168 average recently, and I just know I have the potential to hit a 170+. My BR proves this. I noticed that there are questions that I will get wrong on LR, but during BR, I'll immediately choose the right answer, even going as far as thinking that the answer is obvious. I don't know how it flies over my head during the actual test, and this happens for at least 3 questions every exam. Those 3 questions could push me to the 170s. Sometimes these questions are flagged and sometimes they're not. Regardless, somehow I'll totally miss the obviousness of the right answer. I've been trying to focus more on that mistake but I'm not getting anywhere. Does anyone have advice?

Hi everyone, I hope your studies are going well! I have been studying since December and I always felt like things were never really improving for me understanding wise. For example, I will watch an explanation video and completely understand what I did wrong and what I was supposed to do but then when I go to apply it on a similar question I always seem to be getting it wrong anyway. Over time I started noticing that its not that I simply wasn't improving but I was actively getting worse. For context, I recently finished the LR module and now I'm wondering if I should move straight on to the RC module or keep practicing LR until I have that down, then move on to RC. My diagnostic was a 140 so not too great. I'll be drilling LR questions and I will sometimes get level one or two questions wrong and oftentimes at the end it'll say my preptest equivalent is in the 130 somethings meaning I'm getting worse despite practice. I plan on taking the test in September with a goal of at least 155 so I do believe I have enough time to get there. Is this a normal thing to be happening or should I be worried about this apparent decrease in my scores. If this is something I should be worried about, what are some things I can do about it? Also, should I keep working on LR before moving on to RC or should I just move on to RC now? Any advice is appreciated and if you need me to elaborate more on anything, please let me know!

Hi! I find that the process of elimination helps me a lot to narrow down answer choices when I am struggling with a question. However, I have been drilling flaw questions and can't seem to figure out how to decide between the last two answers I have narrowed it down to. To me, the differences between the answer choices are both so minute, and somehow I always end up choosing the wrong one. I just know I am SOOO close to getting the right answer and would love some help to get there.

Please let me know if you guys have any good strategies for breaking the ties and approaching flaw questions!!!!

Hello , I am new to lsat studying . I'm am terribly struggling with to find the gap of why the premises doesn't lead to the conclusion. It's hard to come up with a bunch of reasons as to why it doesn't lead to the conclusion . If I do come up with a gap it doesn't match the answer choices.

Anybody else struggling? What are some ways I can come up with different reasons why the premises doesn't lead to the conclusion faster and more accurate?

Also , is finding the missing gap useful for only strengthen , weaken , flaw , sufficient assumptions etc?

Do the difficulty ratings of questions update as more users attempt the questions?

Also, is the formula used in calculating the those ratings publicly available?

Hi!

I'm wondering if there is a cheat sheet that exists to help coin what language indicates a specific task.

For example: "properly inferred" = Must Be True

I understand that for a lot of question stems there's more obvious wording (i.e. Which ... must be true = must be true) but I'm just curious if something like this exists and can be shared for the examples that aren't so readily apparent.

I have a cheat sheet with each question type and their approaches and would LOVE to be able to add this info to each.

Thank you!

Hello I’m new to 7 sage and I’ve only used the free account but I want to invest into studying. What plan do y’all have and recommend I definitely am looking for something that will keep me disciplined throughout this process :) feel free to let me know what y’all recommend

Is there a specific order y'all recommend for approaching the RC passages? Right now, I’m trying to do the passages with the highest number of questions first and save the passages with fewer questions for last. Also, is there usually an easy-to-hard order within the section, like, is the first passage generally easier than the last?

Hey y'all, hope everyone is doing well :) I'm struggling to close that gap between my timed and blind review tests. Albeit, I just started my timed phase and bombed PT 150, I'm looking for advice that I can implement as I continue to do timed tests.

I feel more relaxed during blind review and this always gives me a different (and most often correct) perspective on the material. Thus, I pick the right answer. How do I approach my timed test the same way I'm approaching my blind reviews? I'm always scoring at my target 170s in my blind reviews, it's just frustrating that I can't get this to happen on my timed runs.

Tyvm for the time nd consideration gang

LSAC just sent out the following updates regarding the new LawHub interface:

1. The final version of the LawHub interface-- including fully functional highlighting for stimuli, question stems, and answer choices-- will be released in June.

2. LawHub just this week added functionality that enables test takers to see questions they’ve flagged directly in the question bar, without having to open a separate review panel.

3. All Official LSAT PrepTests in LawHub are now available in an updated version of the new UI.

4. The content of the test is not changing.

5. The annual subscription price for LawHub Advantage will increase to $124 on July 1.

Curious what everyone thinks about the new interface so far.

I take the LSAT in approximately three months (September). I am aiming for 170s (or closest I can get in however much time). I am currently scoring anywhere from 157-162 on PTs. At the moment, I am only doing practice, but feel like I might be better served changing up my study plan/schedule. I am wondering if starting fresh and doing the core curriculum might be a better option at this stage as opposed to just doing a practice plan. I actually have not watched any of the videos yet - I used LSAT Trainer before I got on 7sage. But recently, my PrepTests have not been going so well. I am wondering if just doing the core curriculum from scratch might serve me better. It seems like there might be a gap in some things I do not know, but also do not want to sacrifice reps gained through drilling/practice

I've been taking practice tests every week for the past 6 weeks or so, and timing has been the one constant issue I've not been able to fix. This week i tried taking 2 LR sections backwards (starting with the final question and ending with the first.) my logic was that since the second half is hardest, i can dedicate more time to those questions and comfortably rush through the second half, as opposed to having to rush thru the harder second half. I scored surprisingly well using this method, and I did not struggle with time, I was able to answer each question confidently. However, I'm unsure if this method is actually helping or if I'm just getting better at time management. Anyone have any thoughts/ experience with this? pls lmk, taking the test in june!

Hi there, I have a couple questions about PT104.S2.P2 on medieval guilds. Many thanks in advance for your help!

Question 2: According to the passage, which one of the following statements about law courts in medieval England is true?

I initially leaned toward A: Some English lawyers who practiced in civil courts also practiced in church courts, but others served exclusively in one court or the other.

However, I doubted it because I thought that, on the LSAT, “some” can be inclusive of all. The portion of the passage that would support this answer choices states: 

 The alternative inference, namely, that ecclesiastical advocates were less prone to ethical lapses than their counterparts in the civil courts, seems inherently weak, especially since there was some overlap of personnel between the civil bar and the ecclesiastical bar.

By stating there was “some overlap of personnel,” I assumed that it could mean anything from one person to every person who overlapped. Therefore, I did not feel confident selecting: “Some English lawyers who practiced in civil courts also practiced in church courts, but others served exclusively in one court or the other” because I didn’t feel I could support conclusively the claim that others served exclusively in one court or the other. Am I missing something? 

Question 7: The passage suggests that which one of the following is most likely to have been true of medieval guilds?

I chose D: Medieval guilds found it difficult to enforce discipline among their members.

The explanation states: Anti-supported. We know that “other guilds” (besides canon lawyer associations) “often did [play a role in enforcing standards of conduct].

However, I am a bit confused because in the first paragraph of the passage, the author states: Advocates' professional organizations showed little fervor for disciplining their erring members. Some even attempted to hobble efforts at enforcement. The Florentine guild of lawyers, for example, forbade its members to play any role in disciplinary proceedings against other guild members.

By referencing the Florentine guild of lawyers, I thought they were providing an example of those professional associations that, as described in paragraph two, “were so inefficient that most delinquents escaped detection and punishment.” The author then goes on to argue that this hypothesis/characterization is more likely correct than the alternative posed. 

Perhaps I’m just mixing up guilds versus professional associations? 

Hi everyone! I’ll be hosting a free Logical Reasoning class tonight focused on Parallel and Parallel Flaw questions, specifically reviewing a technique called “Conclusion Matching.”

I taught this strategy last week and received a lot of positive feedback from students who found it extremely helpful.

Full transparency: I am an LSAT tutor, but I host free weekly classes that are open to everyone with absolutely no obligation to work with me 1-on-1.

If you’re free tonight, I’d love to see you there!

Thank you 7Sage, this feature is fire! 🔥

Hi all.

I have some contradictory info on how to tackle RC, at least with jargon-heavy medical passages, so I need advice.

First, generally, I enjoy RC because the passages are interesting, science in particular. And I try to apply the method: being aware of the tone, structure, viewpoints and such. But medical passages with upwards of 5 unfamiliar terms are a lost cause: I can't remember what I read because I don't understand anything and even if I try to simplify it by assigning letters to each term I still can't remember it because there's too many terms that I don't understand. So the "careful reading" advice doesn't work for me here. I can read something in another language carefully but I still won't understand it because it's in a foreign language.

When I try to simply scan over the jargon and remember where stuff is so I can go back to it, and I use elimination, I get an average of 1-2 wrong answers on 7-8 questions untimed, but timed is a disaster.

Does any of you who have my problem have a strategy you have developed to score high when timed, without actually understanding anything? 😂 Do tell. 😊

Hi everyone! Im realizing that im struggling quite a bit with RC. ive gone through the core curriculum and read and watched videos, so im familiar with the typical strategies employed when doing RC but I cant seem to actually implement it. when the passage is more difficult, i find it really hard to focus on the structure and whos arguing what. also, im not sure if its just me, but i dont feel like low res summaries really help me, they just eat up my time. any advice would be great, thank you!

Need to do this ASAP, but can't seem to do this at all. I'm getting to all the questions but no time left over to go back to them. No discernible patterns (at all) in what I'm getting wrong.

I plan to take the LSAT this September for the 2027 cycle. I started with a 138 diagnostics score about three weeks ago and i'm around a 145-150 right now. However, every time I sit down to study, I have no idea If i'm being effective with my time.

I will start drilling untimed for about thirty minutes to warm up, then move to a timed section where I review the answers I got wrong. This goes on for about two to three hours until I realize my brain is fried and i'm just reading words and not comprehending anything.

I was just wondering if anyone had any ideas to help make my time studying more efficient. Any advice is appreciated, Thanks (:

I started really studying in March, and I just finished all of the lessons that 7Sage creates for you. My diagnostic was a 144 in January with no studying, and I am taking August. Do you think I should do a practice block drill first or should I take a test and see how much I have improved from just the lessons alone?

It’s hard because I have kind of a busy schedule. There was some weeks where I couldn’t study for multiple days at a time and some days where I did multiple days at once to try to balance it out. Doing the practice blocks I probably will not finish them all within the week like suggested. My goal is a 168+.

Any and all suggestions would be appreciated!

I scored 100% on BR and would always get all the questions I answered before the time elapsed. It appears that timing is my greatest challenge. How can I possibly overcome this challenge?

Hi y’all! I’ve had a 7Sage account for a while but only recently started looking into it seriously. I’ve taken the LSAT three times, with my highest score being 140. I used Princeton Review before, took a break from studying, and now I’m working with a tutor who uses a separate platform.

Lately, though, I feel completely burnt out. I work full time, try to study after work and on weekends, but I’ve been dealing with stress at home and I’ve really lost my discipline. My recent prep test score dropped, and honestly it hit me pretty hard.

I spoke with a law student who said 7Sage helped her a lot, especially with structure and understanding the test. The problem is I’ve already spent so much on tutoring, and my tutor wants me taking a prep test every week, which is starting to feel exhausting and unsustainable for me.

Now I’m debating whether I should invest in 7Sage, stick to the free resources for now, or just keep going with my tutor. I’m also really interested in study groups and accountability because I think consistency is my biggest struggle right now. The 7Sage package with accountability emails definitely caught my attention.

I haven’t lost hope but I’m also aiming for 160 -166 is this possible for me?

For anyone who’s used 7Sage or struggled with burnout, distractions, or discipline while working full time — what helped you? Any advice on realistic study plans, staying consistent, or avoiding burnout would mean a lot. I’m all ears, thank you!

Saw an old posting that recorded sessions from live classes are in this link: https://classic.7sage.com/live-class-archive/ Anyone know if I can watch recorded live classes somewhere? If so, can you share the link?

Hello everyone!

I've recently started studying (about 2 weeks now) for the LSAT. I'm hoping to take it early next year so I wanted to get a head start during the summer.

I've been studying for about 2 to 4 hours a day with the comprehensive foundations lessons, but I've been falling behind recently. It's been difficult to keep up the consistent motivation because I found it to be quite a lot - already burnt out possibly (I hope not).

Are there any tips to maintain a good, motivated study schedule that can persist not only through the summer but throughout the academic year as well?

Thanks everyone!
