Hi Guys. June LSAT test taker here. I have been off/on studying for the LSAT for over a year now, but have been pretty seriously studying the last 2-3 months. June will be my second time taking the LSAT (previous 166). My goal score is a 170+, which I have yet to crack on a PT, but I've consistently been getting 168s and 169s for my last 4-5 PTs, as well as -3 to -1 on several RC and LR sections individually. Though it's been frustrating as hell being stuck in the high 160s plateau, I have been feeling like I've been understanding the test more and more every day and have been seeing small improvement.

I just took PT 156 (which seems like is notoriously difficult) and got a 161 on it. Ugh. With the test less than two weeks away I was planning on taking one last test next weekend, but I'm worried after this experience it'll ruin my confidence before test day. I plan on blind reviewing this test and trying to learn the most that I can from it, but does anyone have any advice on what else I should focus on this next week and a half before giving myself 4-5 days off before my test? Should I take another PT next weekend? Do drills? Review my wrong answer journal? Meet once with a tutor? Do nothing and rest? Any advice would be appreciated.

I feel like I have all the pieces I need to do well on an LSAT but it never seems to come together for me.

Thanks :/

Under each answer choice, when I do drills, it shows these analytics. Can someone explain what this means? Thanks! :)

I started studying with the core curriculum 2-ish weeks ago and wanted to take a PT to see if I made any progress compared to my diagnostic. The 7sage explanations have been super helpful. Although progress early on is encouraging, I'm ultimately aiming for a mid-170s score, so please share any tips!

Hi,

I’m doing pretty good on these but still making dumb mistakes. I forgot to answer a question in rc and submitted the last lr section without realizing I still had one more question. Went back and got them both right in analysis right after. Shooting for a 180 if anyone has any tips let me know!

When doing blind review, should I hover over the pink circle on the question (thus indicating if I got it wrong, took too long on it, changed my answer multiple times, etc.) or not? Particularly, I'm not sure if it is harmful to do BR already knowing that I got that question wrong.

Thanks :)

As a pattern my scores are so-so on the drills, but I am scoring in the 80-100% range after the blind review. Any tips on improving my confidence when picking an answer the first time around???

I recently had a session with tutor @SCOTT_LEBO . It was amazing. Even before our session began, he emailed me two detailed PDFs on how to approach LR and RC. He mentioned that he's been refining his method for 10+ years, and he found it highly effective. I did too. Then, during our session, we went through my analytics so he could personally gauge my strengths and weaknesses. He also used the information I provided him before our session. We started with my weakest point, RC, and thoroughly reviewed a passage that targeted all my weaknesses (lol). He made sure to use multiple approaches to justify how to get the right answer, as well as why my answer was wrong (instead of just giving me the answers). We focused on how to tackle passages and questions. He asked me to also chime in and explain my thought process, which he evaluated clearly and refined. Because I self-studied for months before this point, I was surprised to learn that I took away new techniques that I hadn't been using. We also focused on some LR question types that give me trouble. I actively processed through these question types, and he explained a certain technique (found on the PDF) that simplifies the question. Besides clearly being knowledgeable and experienced, Scott also took the time to listen to my concerns fully and thoroughly answer them. My experience was also personalized to fit my needs. If anyone is looking for a tutor, I highly recommend Scott. I feel much more confident for my June LSAT. Good luck to everyone!

I just finished taking PT 153 and got 160

Hi everyone! While I've been performing reasonably well on the LR section, I'd love to get more practice with diagramming. Does anyone have suggestions or recommendations for lesson library videos? I've been working through the lesson videos and practicing alongside them, but I'm open to any additional resources or tips!

I am stuck at a Pt level around 148. My worst subjects are Phenomenon-hypothesis (LR) Which am the absolute worst on & Casual Reasoning. I have watched the videos and drilled and It is still a foreign language after 2 months. I don't understand Why I cant just grasp the concept and its starting to feel like Im never going to understand it. The breakdown for the videos don't help me either because some of them just assume I know what's going on.

Good Afternoon,

As I have begun my journey with studying for the LSAT, I currently am in the foundations of my study plan. I simply would like to ask, should I begin joining Live/Recorded classes, or would this be to early. I find myself being able to identify premises/conclusions, but find difficulty in the stimulus and how to exactly choose the correct answer.

For background I have just reached the context section.

Thanks,

Nikk

This is probably me being totally unreasonable, but what are the chances that LSAC intentionally makes the June 2026 LSAT harder since it is the last LSAT being administered virtually and record number of people are estimated to take the June test? Am legit scared that they might up the difficulty for curving purposes, etc.

Good morning everybody,

Very excited to join the 7Sage community as an independent tutor. I’ve already noticed a lot of discussion around reading comprehension and RC strategy on the board, so I thought I’d share one of the biggest mindset shifts that tends to help students improve RC performance.

A lot of students approach RC as if they need to focus on everything in the passage equally. In reality, strong RC is usually much more about reading for the Big Picture.

What does that mean?

Primarily, it means identifying the author’s thesis and the major supporting reasons that develop that thesis. That’s the backbone of comprehension. Once you can consistently see that structure, the passage starts to feel much more organized, predictable, and manageable.

But importantly, reading for the big picture does not mean skipping details or vaguely skimming. You still read every sentence carefully. The difference is the level of focus given to each sentence based on its role within the larger structure of the passage.

That approach helps create the “one read” we’re ultimately looking for: a read that gives us the Big Picture while also preparing us to efficiently return to the passage for more specific questions.

Part of this is mindset, and part of it is technique. Like most LSAT skills, it becomes more natural with structured practice and repetition.

Happy to discuss further or answer questions if anybody wants to talk RC.

Hey guys!! What are some lessons and recordings that can help with Phenom - Hypothesis?

That one was… wow. Did my average on the LR, about-2, but that RC kicked my ass. I normally do pretty well on RC, but that one had me begging for mercy.

I have consistently gotten 6-9 questions wrong on my first attempt, but on Blind Review, I get 5-0, which is right where I would like to be! The blind review assures me that I can get to that sweet spot for my preferred score, but im having a hard time closing this gap!

I actively teach myself what I did wrong in my wrong-answer journal and review with intention. How can I close this gap? I'm I crazy for thinking that my BR score is actually possible??

Also wondering if i should hire a tutor to help me with this skill? recs or opinions??

Thanks #help

I took practice tests 79 and 80 early on into my studying so as to avoid burning through the more recent tests before I felt ready. I'm now starting to work my way through the more recent tests in preparation for my sitting in June. I was pretty disappointed to find out that Test 79 was identical to Test 148 (at least as far as I got into it), and then the same thing happened between Test 80 and Test 149 (admittedly, I didn't make it as far into this test). And then earlier today, I randomly took Test 26 because I wanted more practice, only to find that one of the RC passages was identical to one that I had just taken from Test 103.

I'm not exactly sure how this whole thing works, but it's inconvenient to keep running into repeats when I'm trying to simulate test conditions. Can someone explain whether there's any method to this madness and whether there's anything I can do to avoid double-dipping?

For LSAT Logical Reasoning, is there any answer choice letter (A/B/C/D/E) that appears slightly more often on released tests? If I run out of time and need to blind guess on 1–2 questions, is there a statistically better letter to use, or is that basically a myth? My RC Powerscore book says D for RC and I saw someone say B/D for 1-20 and then the last 5-6 E for LR, but that info was years ago

Hi Everyone, I am desperate for advice, tips or tricks, or words of encouragement, for how to get QUICKER at the test. I have been studying for over 3 months now, and I feel like I understand the questions/question types. I am just slow. Sometimes I have to reread a stimulus a couple times to fully understand it. Or I am not 100% confident on an answer so I look through the other options a little longer. My biggest obstacle currently is my speed (or lack thereof). It is veryyyy rare for me to answer a question at target time and EVEN RARER to answer under target time.

Looking forward to responses! Thanks yall!

Lately, during practice, I have noticed that I keep getting flaw questions wrong but I cannot identify exactly why. Every time I look at the ACs, I can think of a reason why a few of them could be the answer and struggle in choosing the best AC. Anyone struggling with this too and have any tips?

Hi everyone!

I’ll be hosting a free LR study group tonight at 7:30 PM EST. I’ll be covering one of the most effective techniques for eliminating trap answers on Parallel and Parallel Flaw questions.

Full transparency: I am an LSAT tutor, but this session is completely free, open to anyone, and there are no expectations attached.

Feel free to join if you can, hope to see you there!

hi guys! i'm taking the june LSAT in exactly two weeks from this day. i've been getting in the 176-177 range for the past four tests, and even got a 180 recently. however, i didn't study for two weeks and got a 174. i know also it's common to drop a few points on the actual test due to nerves. should i be too worried??? i don't want to torture myself with only two weeks left but i'm also disappointed in the drop. eep!!!

(i know, objectively, these are good scores, but i have a C&F statement and really need a full-ride, and want to get into a t14 school).

Hi! I've been stuck in the mid 160s and I know how important it is to take time and review wrong answers. I just don't feel like I have enough time with drilling included. Would it be productive to take a week to just go through questions I've flagged? Or maybe take one day each week just for review?

I am currently scoring -6 on my LR sections. I am guaranteed incorrectly answering level 4 and 5 questions. I aced 1,2,3 level questions, but as soon as a level 4 or 5 question gets thrown in the mix, I get it wrong. It doesn't matter question type, ie Conditional Reasons, Causal Reasoning, Main Conclusion etc...If it is a level 4 or 5 I will get it wrong. Looking for strategies to use the improve and make a jump from getting all level 4 or 5 wrong to getting down to -3 on LR.

I'm finding the answer choice tag floating dialog box pop-up explainer describer things very helpful as I review my wrong answers. Example: Illusory Inconsistency! It's wonderful having a clear title for the AC type that keeps seducing me lol. But when I tried to click "learn more" https://7sage.com/lsat-resources/cheatsheet/lr-answer-choice#illusory-inconsistency it looks like the page is broken? Is this still a work in progress? Is there a page where we can view all of the AC type tags?
