I just scored a 174 on PT140.

I am having a lot of trouble with practice problems on sufficient and necessary conditions. Each practice problem I attempt concerning the contrapositive, I end up missing the mark (especially on the translating into Lawgic formulas). Does anyone have any tips on how I can master this topic?

Hi, I started studying for the LSAT 6 months ago, and I am taking the April exam. I have scored in 4 PTs in my target range, and I have two weeks until the April exam. I really want this to be the end of my LSAT studying, and that makes me want to push as hard as I can in this last phase of studying. However, I am feeling a lot of mental fatigue and burn out. Does anyone have tips for how to handle these last two weeks of studying? I know that I should be dialing it back for the last week, but I feel like I should still be doing SOMETHING this week, and I am not sure what to do.

Hello!

As the title says, I'm struggling to close the gap between my scores and my blind review scores. I average a 167 on my PTs (best 171), and average a 177 on my blind reviews (best 180). That is a pretty significant jump, and getting consistently over 170 would make my dream schools much more feasible. I am struggling with how to get there.

I think a big thing for me is eye fatigue by the ends of sections and especially by the end of the test. I also just really struggle with the same question types consistently, despite having spent a lot of time reviewing those questions, creating a wrong answer journal, and watching explanations.

Any advice?

I know a video was released just talking about this, however, I wanted to ask regarding my personal circumstance. I am a Junior in college with a busy schedule and heavy load. I am hoping to take the LSAT in June my goal is a 160- I currently have a 145 (diagnostic taken in feb). I started studying more consistently middle of February, however, it is still on and off. Should I take the June one for the experience even if I might not do great? I am just nervous to only have the August LSAT. I will have about a month once school ends to completely lock in and study for the June LSAT. What do we think?

Thank you in advance :).

So I am slated to take the April LSAT, def not ready. I have been studying since mid Feb decently consistently. My main plan is august LSAT is my main. September backup. Should I keep the April test date or move it? When does one want to cancel a score? What does cancelling entail? Can schools see that? Is that bad? If I score like a 150 do I keep that or delete it? Confused on what to do. Thank you!

I feel mentally stuck and like I’m holding myself back from taking practice tests. I think I’m avoiding them because I’m nervous—I’ve been studying and drilling, but it doesn’t feel like it’s fully clicking yet. Because of that, I keep telling myself I shouldn’t take timed tests (or even full practice tests at all) until I completely understand why I’m getting questions wrong and can clearly see the patterns.

Has anyone dealt with this? How do you push past that hesitation?

I’m also trying to memorize simple phrases to guide my approach for each question type so I don’t freeze up in the moment. Does anyone have fun or effective ways to make those stick?

Hey guys, how do I differentiate "infer" vs "properly infer" in LR? I understood "infer" to mean Most Strongly Supported and "properly infer" to mean Must Be True. Am I right here?

I just wanted to say I was extremely worried when I first started studying (jan1) that I would not have enough time to get a good score come April, and granted I obviously haven't taken the real thing, but I went from a 148 diagnostic (jan1) to a 169 PT (today ehehe) and I'm over the moon. I just wanted to post this for non trad applicants. I am 24, a veteran, have three children 1,3, and 4. My 4 year old being non verbal and having level 3 autism, but I was still able to get to a place where Im comfortable with my score (thanks to my amazing husband). Idk I'm so happy and wish I could just tell my day one self that I was gonna be fine. Good luck April testers!

Our smart drills always targeted the question types you need to work on most. Now they also adjust to your skill level as you take them.

You'll also see a new "Adaptive" option when you customize your drill. We use it by default.

Try a smart drill now.

(You can also find the "Smart Drill" button on your dashboard).

And please tell us what you think!

I just scored a 162 on PT154. Any tips/best practices on going about reviewing PTs?

4 months late to @J.Y.Ping 's YouTube video on posting these to discussion form, but riding this high. It's the motivation I needed. Good things are happening in 2026. Wishing everyone good study vibes as we round out the end of the month!

Lydia spent two months studying 6 hours a day — core curriculum, live classes, drilling — and her score didn't budge. Alex explains why a flat score isn't a sign of failure, how to structure your study schedule at different stages of prep, and why blind review scores matter more than your PT score right now. If you're feeling stuck or discouraged, this one's for you.

I am wondering if what Kevin teaches in his RC lessons actually can be done fast. I know he addressed this in one of his videos, but right now, it feels like it will be impossible for me to read a passage while doing all of the steps (low-res, perspectives, predicting next paragraph & after passage steps) all under timed conditions. I would really love to get there, but I'm wondering if anyone out there (who isn't exceptionally gifted in reading to begin with) actually achieved all the steps under timed conditions. In short: is this even possible?

Thanks!!

hi! how do you handle fatigue, especially if you receive extra time? it gets harder to retain information and think due to brain fog! maybe tips when you find yourself succumbing to brain fog during the actual test and also what to do during the 10 min break!

Did anyone have an aha moment for these, I can't figure out how to differentiate main conclusion from the summary type ACs

Struggling with Reading Comprehension—even when you understand the passage? In this episode, @AlexJacobs breaks down one of the most frustrating RC problems: answer choices that all look the same.

If you’ve ever been stuck between two “jargony” answers or felt lost on inference questions, this is for you.

We cover:

    1. Why understanding the passage is already most of the battle

    2. How to attack confusing, abstract answer choices

    3. The “disqualifier” method for eliminating wrong answers fast

    4. What to do when you’re stuck between two nearly identical choices

    5. How to approach inference questions with confidence

The big takeaway: your job isn’t to find the right answer—it’s to kill the wrong ones. If RC feels overwhelming, this episode will simplify your process and help you focus only on what actually matters.

Hi all,

Hope everyone is doing well :)

I'm just starting my LSAT journey with 7Sage and was wondering if anyone has a recommended study guide or work plan! {ie, Monday drill tests, Tuesday watch lectures, etc.}

Any advice, etc.

Thanks & best of luck to all

Happy studying !!

I'm moving on. I studied and improved my score. It was hard work. I got into my school. It's weird how I want to keep studying. I know I should take this opportunity to attend. I'm little conflicted because if I studied more and got higher score could apply for a reach school next year. But I think I should be happy as I worked hard. Good luck everyone.

I'm interested in hearing from people on how they go about doing their wrong answers journals. Do you find it helpful? Do you go back and read it? What's your process? I'm looking to start doing this after prep tests, but I want to know how to do it effectively. Thanks!

Hopefully what I'm saying makes sense

If I don't add any customizations when making a drill (just setting the question number, time, and show answers), are the questions selected still based on my analytics? Like, is 7Sage choosing some amount of NA questions, Weaken questions, etc., based on my data, or is it choosing random questions from the drill pool? I am asking because I want to drill with my worst question types, and I see the customize button that lets me do exactly that, but I am wondering if 7Sage does this automatically.

hi yall! im curious about things to keep in mind for the writing section

-how personal should we be? are anecdotes allowed, or should we try to stay professional?

-should we use pronouns like "I" or keep it academic?

-anything else you can think of

If I am writing an essay that will hopefully get me into a T-14, what is crucial to display in the essay?

If you’re balancing a busy schedule and wondering whether you’re “ready,” this episode is for you.

📌 Topics covered:

    1. Does taking the LSAT earlier help admissions?

    2. When to delay your test (and when not to)

    3. Why more time = more points (usually)

    4. How to structure studying with limited time

    5. The smart way to plan multiple test attempts

I’ve been working through The Loophole by Ellen Cassidy, and it’s been extremely helpful so far. I’m hoping to find similar resources, but specifically geared toward Reading Comprehension—would love any recommendations.

Hello! I'm taking the April LSAT & it'll be my second time. When I took it back in January, I opted for In-person testing, but didn't get the score I wanted, and kind of attributed some of it to being in an unfamiliar location (obviously, needed more studying, but beyond that...)

Just wanted to see what everyone's experiences have been like taking it Remotely? I've heard some horror stories so wanted to get a wide variety of stories before I make my decision this week~
