I will be taking my first LSAT in January, having said that, I have not done the argumentative writing part of the LSAT (opens December 30, 2025). What would you all recommend? should I do the writing before the LSATS or can I take it after my test (2, 3 days after test).

I personally want to take it after the LSAT, but I don't know if its a good idea to take it after. Would taking it after will delay my LSAT results? I am planing to take it within 2,3 days after my LSAT (if i go this route).

I want to apply to schools, the day of the results lol. If taking it after the results would delay the results, please let me know and help me out.

I am first gen and don't know who to ask.

I am struggling with the end of LR sections and wanted to mimic the end of an LR section in my drills with 5 difficult questions. My plan in my drills is to include 1 parallel flaw, 1 weakening, 1 MBT, 1 SA/NA, and 1 Flaw as these are the types of questions that I usually encounter at the end of an LR section. Is there a better way of going about it? Are these questions actually more common or is it just random?

I finished the 7sage Core Curriculum and read the loophole in October 31, 2025. In mid-November took a PT after and got a 156 (BR 163). My goal (even though it might sound crazy right now) is to get 170+, ideally in the mid to high 170s (aiming to take the test in April 2026). My main weakness is LR. After reviewing my incorrect answers extensively in my Wrong Answer Journal, I identified some recurring weaknesses, including 1) NA, 2) SA with conditional reasoning, 3) MBT/MSS questions and 4) parallel reasoning question types.

I work full time and study 2-4 hours a day after work and on the weekend I study 6-10 hours a day. However, I am not sure if I am using my time wisely. Could someone please give me some advice on the following:

1. When should I move on from drilling each question type? For the past week and a half, I've been doing 5 easy, 5 medium and 5 hard questions for NA (unlimited time) and then thoroughly reviewing why I got questions wrong and analyzing why each answer is incorrect/correct. My accuracy rate is about 80%-100% on the easy/medium questions but on the hardest ones it is more variable. Should I keep drilling until I get a 100% on all the hard questions? Honestly, I don't know when that is going to happen and I'm worried I will burn through all the material before I'm ready.

2. My plan is to focus on doing these 5 easy/5 medium/5 hard question drills and reviewing my wrong answers for the 4 question types mentioned above for the rest of December. After I finish that, should I a) drill all my weak question types under timed pressure, b) do a timed LR section, or c) do an entire practice test?

3. To ensure that I'm retaining the information I'm learning, should I be doing a mix of LR question type drills? (i.e. once I finish both NA and SA drills, should I do a drill with both question types together)?

4. If I am aiming for April 2026. when should I begin doing entire timed practice tests?

Thanks so much for your help!

Just curious if there are any best practices for WHEN to BR after a PT (other than 'do what works best for you and your schedule). Do you take a small break then get into it? Long break but same day? Or is it advantageous to go back to BR the next day?

Hey Guys! I need some advice. I am currently planning to take the LSAT in February 26 and need help deciding on if I should adjust my study plan. I have taken the LSAT twice, so I understand what is being asked and the structure of the test, but I struggle heavily with reading comprehension (staying locked in while reading) and timing, plus question types and second guessing on logical reasoning. I started from the very beginning with my study plan because it may be helpful, but maybe I should center the next two months on practicing and working on timing since I've gone through the actual test twice? I work full time, so my studying comes in the evenings, how should I dedicate my time? I am really only looking to jump maybe 10 to 15 points for my score which currently sits at a 146. What should I do?

does 7sage give you harder questions on drills if you're improving or is it totally random

I am in need of tips and tricks to help me understand and get me out of this big point difference. During a LR section I have ranged from -10 to -12 but when I blind review I always get -5 or better. Is anyone else experiencing this?!

I have completed the core lessons, I will be taking the January LSAT, I did my first PT 2 weeks ago and got 146 BR 155, then last week I got a 142 BR 153, and today I got a 138 BR 153 yet, whats going on? I thought I was getting a hang of it. I am crashing out, Aiming for 149-155. Any sugguestion whats wrong with me?? Please dont sugguest to restart with fundamentals, I get that but man this is not normal!

I took PT159 over the weekend and sadly it destroyed me.

Since the official explanations from JY/Kevin are not available yet, with the mindset of "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger", I wrote out my explanations of some LR questions under "Discussion". I intend to continue to write more tomorrow.

Please let me know if you have any feedback / if my explanations are clear.

Thank you for your time in advance!

I just scored a 164 on PT133.

Anyone have any tips for improvement/strategizing? Context I am sadly juggling a full-time job, so my study schedule is either an entire section or drill before work in the morning, blind reviewing that section /drill after work. I usually take a PT on Saturday. My blind review is 2-3 days of me thoroughly reviewing each question, as I feel this the best space for growth. So in reality I only do 2-4 sections a week.

I have been slacking this week sadly as I am being made privy to the realities of working at a law firm (immigration, fun times :)) and have almost 0 energy in the morning, but I will get back on it tomorrow morning. I wanted to know if any tutors or anyone in general had thoughts or any advice in general based on what they see above, as well as navigating full time job + lsat prep, even though I know this question has been beat to death.

Further context, I delayed to apply next cycle, so I'm trying to take the February or April exam, aiming for a 172. Thanks for any help!!!

Looking for LSAT study partners! I’m testing in February and would like to study with people!

Join Rahela and Eric for a Thanksgiving-themed conversation about the five LSAT strategies that made the biggest difference in their prep. They break down how to navigate bad study days, develop patience and resilience, get real value from wrong answer journals, rely on study buddies, and change your approach when you hit a plateau.

If you are looking to reboot your studying or understand what actually moves the needle, this episode is for you.

Not sure if this change happened to everyone, but the new format where the test window doesn't take up the entirety of the screen kinda sucks. Before it used to offer a lot more space, which was helpful for scanning the prompts and answers quicker. Anyone know how to change this back or is this a permanent update?

Hello everyone! I took the November LSAT, and while it wasn’t exactly what I hoped for, I scored a 155. I’m scheduled to retake the test in January and would love to connect with someone local who’s in a similar score range to study together.

For reference, I’m currently scoring between 155–160 and blind reviewing at 166.

I’ve taken a month off, so I might be a bit out of practice. If you’re planning to test later, that’s fine—I'm in the same position. I won’t be applying this cycle, so I’m hoping to connect with someone to study and stay motivated together.

P.S. I am a 23-year-old black female and would feel most comfortable studying with another woman.

I got everything wrong on the three-question set. I don't know what I should to improve

Any help is appreciated

Why do my drilling analytics (especially the drilling accuracy metric) only use questions I've "drilled" and not all of the questions I've answered throughout the core curriculum? Is there an advantage to this? And if not, is there a way for me to mass include all questions I answer in my drilling analytics without having to manually toggle on the below button for each individual question?

At what point should I start taking practice tests regularly? I'm currently on week 6 of studying, in the "theory" phase of my study plan. Thank you for any insight.

hey guys , i need advice/help. I am studying by myself no tutor, i did my first ever practice test end of August and got a 138 then the next test i did was in october which was 135 and then a week ago 133 and then on that last one i blind reviewed a 150. Today i took a practice test untimed and got a 139 and am going to wait a day to blind review. Is this a normal process for some? I also didnt get 7sage till a week ago and it has way more helpful tools then the book i was using. I notice when i take the test i get stuck with having 2-3 answer choices and on my blind review i would choose the other answer choice i was stuck between. How do i break the cycle of getting the right answer the first time? thanks

Extremely frustrated! The LSAT has been a relatively long and stressful journey for me. My first 2 attempts I saw little improvement and scored in the mid 150s. But leading up to November, I was feeling great. My prep test range was 167-172! On test day, I felt fine not great. Nothing went especially wrong and I left the test feeling unsure but not like I melted down.

Got my score back and it was 159, just 2 points more than my last take and 8-13 points below my range. I clearly underperformed.

I’m now looking ahead to hopefully my last retake in January. Any advice on how to perform to my potential on test day? The biggest factor I can identify is taking it in person vs. replicating my PT experience remotely.

the following is from a flaw question on seven sage...

Theorist: To be capable of planned locomotion, an organism must be able both to form an internal representation of its environment and to send messages to its muscles to control movements. Such an organism must therefore have a central nervous system. Thus, an organism incapable of planned locomotion does not have a central nervous system.

Correct Answer

• a

  confuses a necessary condition for an organism's possessing a capacity with a sufficient one

My attempt to identify conditionals (May be False)

( Sufficient condition) be capable of planned locomotion. (Nessesary Condition indicated by must)

an organism must be able to both to form an internal representation of it's environment

and to send messages to its muscles to control movement.

but then what confuses me is what appears to be be another Necessary condition introduced in the subsequent sentence... "Such an organism must therefore have a central nervous system" again another must indicating what appears to be another Necessary condition. Then strangely the argument denys the antecedent aka the sufficient condition when it states " thus an organism incapable of planned locomotion, does not have a central nervous system.

I though confusing the sufficient and necessary condition is exactly like affirming the consequent

A>B

B

therefore A.

Logically valid structure

A>B

A

Therefore B..........

I scored a 169 on November. I'm thinking it had something to do with RC. I average a low 170. I want to take it up to the mid 170s. How do I do this for January. Please help :)

I just scored a 165 on PT127.

Any feedback would be helpful. As background I took my diagnostic at 158 (in Aug) this is my second full pt. Got some stupid ones wrong on second section by reading the question / 1-2 answer choices wrong.
