Hello - this is a miserable cry for help after scoring very low in the recent PTs. I am planning to take the Nov LSAT in 2 weeks, and I am nowhere near my score, after studying for 5 months.

I am a student with average timed PT score of 156-159 (I have only one time reached 160, which was my highest). I have started studying for LSAT from this June (though was quite light on it throughout July), then started really working in August. On average, I studied about 3-4 hours a day, 6 days a week.

For 3 months, I've been doing either an LR section or an RC section per day, with one PT a week. For PTs, I always did blind review (which gave me around 167). For every question that I get wrong, I would thoroughly describe it in my wrong answer journal (so far have 700 questions written in WAJ).

The problem is, I've been focusing on PT 120 - 140s, and have just moved onto doing PT 150s, and I've been consistently scoring 156, from my usual score of 159 in the previous older PTs. I am aiming for a score of 166, and I am 10 points away, which is quite huge.

I am so frustrated to not see any improvements, and I am lacking self-esteem at this point. I usually do much better at LR than RC. I have trouble understanding the overall context in RC, as English is my second language, and this has also been destroying my confidence.

Are there any tips on how I should study for the next 2 weeks? I tend to be failing in various types of questions so I don't even know where to start drilling from, or how I should drill (and would drilling help in the 2-week timeframe?) If I fail the Nov exam, I am planning to take the January exam, but I honestly don't know if I could increase my score by then as well... I just feel so stupid.

Took October LSAT for the first time and scored seven points below my usual score. I didn't have accommodations for the October test but I do for November. My confidence has taken a nose dive and I'm really unsure about how well I'll do on the November test.

My goal was to have apps done by end of November. Would January be considered too late for priority admission? Is there anything else I can do?? I've always been bad at standardized tests and got an ADHD diagnosis as an adult. I do work full-time which has historically gotten in the way of my studying. Feeling hopeless :/

Hi all! Feeling kind of frustrated and down because I'm seeing/hearing about all these people getting 180s on the October 2025 LSAT and it was disproportionately hard for me. I'd been PTing and drilling and consistently getting 173s and up and had almost a 10 point decrease. I'm wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience and how they addressed it/thoughts on possible explanations for such a massive discrepancy.

Note: this is not my first test administration and I typically test SUPER well! So very very confused haha.

Hi friends. I took the LSATS in August and got a 146. I studied for two straight months aggressively, retook it in October and got a 148. I'm extremely discouraged. I plan to take it again in January and apply for Fall 2026. Any advice when discouraged?

Hey guys, I need feedback on the following. I took the June LSAT and scored a 157, I studied since then and was scoring in the 170s in my practice tests. An hour before taking the October test I found out about the whole hacking situation and how that test would be much harder. As a consequence (I'm diabetic), my sugar was low throughout the entire test affecting my concentration. Although that could've affected my score I am shocked on how low I scored. What do you guys think I should do?

Hey everyone!

This is the timeline of my LSAT journey:

May 2024-began studying (poorly, didn't take it very seriously)

Aug 2024-official score 142

*Haven't touched the LSAT since*

Sept 2025-started studying again

Oct 2025-first PT 156

Ok so realistically, what are my chances of scoring a 165 in the Jan 2026 LSAT? I'm still struggling with some basic stuff like making sufficient/necessary mistakes, spending way too much time on questions, overthinking, etc. I'm not confident whatsoever and the 14 pt increase is the only thing keeping me going. I just want to know what my chances are, any advice is appreciated.

Hi everyone,

I'm currently due to be taking the November LSAT here soon but I am at least 5 points off of where I want to be at the low/mid 160s with a 3.7 GPA. Will I be screwing myself over by taking the January LSAT and looking to apply this cycle? I'm not looking for T30 or even T80. Just want some opinions if the score boost will be worth the later applications.

Thanks

I have a hard time prephrasing. In some live classes we do pre phrases before going into the AC's. But I was thinking that it would be good to have a class that focuses a bit more on prephrasing and how to actually prephrase correctly.

Hi I did not do good. I got a 147. I am retaking in January of 2026. I want to improve my score within 2 months. I studied from June until October.

anyone else just get screwed over? was low in que on time, got in picked sat and my time went to complete and site crashed. had to go back in... site crashed again... got back in and only had 4:45 for the 7th available. Absolutely got f'ed over.

Hey

I got a 152 on my Oct LSAT unfortunately and I’m looking for advice. Do I try again in January for a score boost or do I apply next cycle. I’m applying in Canada so most apps are due on the 1st of Nov. my apps are done and my undergrad I’m currently in is Engineering. Is it worth doing a masters/ work experience then revisiting law school after or try to push myself for the January one

I’m looking for I guess things to do differently if I am writing in Janurary. Is it worth it to try especially when it will be a blind score being attached to my applications. I was scoring consistently 160 on Pts leading up to it so I don’t know what happened tbh.

I’m just upset with myself so any help would be extremely appreciated, I also don’t know if I should cancel my score or not or leave it.

Essayist: The historical figures that we find most engaging are very rarely those who are morally most virtuous. What most commonly distinguishes them is their bravery and creativity. Thus, moral virtue is not among the characteristics that we admire most, since the people whose lives we would most like to live are those with characteristics we admire most.

Which one of the following is an assumption required by the essayist's argument?

A) The historical figures that we find most engaging are those lives we would most like to live.

B) Bravery and creativity are characteristics that makes it more difficult to be morally virtuous.

C) Historical figures are very rarely morally virtuous.

D) People develops their conception of what makes an individual admirable based on what they know about historical figures

E) Moral virtue is the characteristics of historical figures that we find least engaging.

Why is the correct answer A and not B?

I came across a question that said something along the lines of "In a survey 60% of participants said yes and 40% said no" and the conclusion was "This shows more people believe yes than no" (Granted the question was much more nuanced and another flaw was present but thats besides the point of my question).

One of the ACs said "They draw a conclusion about the population in general based on only a sample of the population"

Even though I got this question correct because I saw the other flaw in the argument, the AC above was wrong which confused me because the explanation why it was wrong specifically said "there is nothing inherently flawed about drawing a conclusion from a sample. What would be flawed is relying on an unrepresentative sample".

Does this mean that if it said "We surveyed NYC, here are the results, therefore more people say yes than no" would be correct? or is it incorrect because it included information regarding the sample. In the question above there was no information regarding how the survey was conducted or who was a part of it but, they still made a generalization of the population from whatever sample they surveyed.

On PT110.S2.Q23, I had each conditional, contrapositive, and chain mapped out correctly; however, I still got the question wrong. I watched the video explanation, and I'm still stumped. I can't understand how any of the answers are correct, because they all seem wrong. The correct answer is E, and I see where ONE of the conditions (inspires revulsion -> threatening) is met; however, the answer choice includes the word "and," so, it seems like both conditions would need to be met? But the second condition (physically dangerous -> threatening) is NOT met--the correct answer explicitly says the monster is NOT physically dangerous. Can someone help me understand why E is still correct?

To be fair, I have heard great things about 7Sage for a long time, but Kevin Lin is the reason I'm here. I'd really like to take a class that he is confirmed to be teaching. Tutoring would be great too, if possible. Can anyone advise?

I am just really nervous for the November LSAT. I have been studying a lot but I can never shake the nervous feeling.

Hi all -

I took an extended break from studying and am currently working a new job after declining admittance into law school. I believe that if I am able to give myself ample time to study, then I will be able to make a better score, get better scholarships, and in turn get into a better school.

Does anyone have any advice as to how to get back into studying? I previously used 7Sage and was wondering what the pros/cons of using it would be. Thank you all!

My BR is easily 20 - 25 points higher than my timed conditions PTs.

I am understanding concepts but application under time is actually ruining my faith in my comprehension of this stuff. I completely crack under time. Not characteristic of me, truly.

I take the November LSAT with a goal score of 160. I am testing at 149 - 153.

Not going for a top school.

My diagnostic was 140 8 months ago. I've been burning out studying the past 3 months diligently. The first 5 months were a wash. Yes I spent a ton of time in core curriculum the first 5 months on the old 7sage platform. I have been a live class member since I started with 7sage.

In a tight spot. Give me anything you have to break through this wall I keep hitting.

If nothing else, it felt good to just spill to the group haha.

I'm planning on taking the Jan LSAT and applying for Law school right after ( I know I am very behind). I am currently in my gap year and was hoping to apply and get into law school for the fall.... I am worried I won't be able to do that anymore. I've noticed I'm struggling the most with LR and being able to identify the correct approach for each of the question types. It is taking me too much time to get through the LR sections, and by the end of the time I have about 7-8 questions that are still unanswered with about 2 mins remaining.

I need a comprehensive study method to help me. I join the live classes every day and do drill sets, journal my work, both correct answers and incorrect ones. And I don't feel like it is working. I do at least 6 hours of classes and drills a day (excluding weekends), and I am not seeing any change, which is TERRIFYING. Does anyone have recommendations on how to study more effectively? My methods are not making me feel confident at all. My LSAT score goal is 160+. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. I am also looking into getting a tutor. I don't know if I should do it through 7 Sage or a different platform. Any and all recommendations and suggestions are greatly appreciated!!!!

Hey everyone!

I am talking the November LSAT and am wondering if there are specific PT's I should do before the test arrives. Are there PT's that will most closely resemble this month's LSAT by virtue of being more recent, or is one PT as good as any other?

And one more question. I am aiming for a score above 165, but a score above 160 will do. I have been PT'ing between 163-166 with an average of 165, and as long as this doesn't drop dramatically on test day I am in a good place. Any tips to ensure test-day performance doesn't drop below the average PT score? I am taking the test at an in-person centre (wasn't offered another option).

Best of luck to all the other November LSAT takers!

So I heard that for questions such as SA and PSA if the conclusion in the stimulus has a value statement (such as "should") and the premises do not, the correct answer choice will have a value statement.

Is this true? And if so are these the only two question types the trick is true for?

Hi guys!

I'm new to the LSAT and started using 7Sage about four weeks after I began studying. My diagnostic score was very low, and I wasn’t improving much just by doing drills. So, I decided to start using 7Sage to learn all the fundamentals. However, I sometimes find it hard to connect what I’m learning to real LSAT questions. I understand the concepts, but I’m not sure whether I should wait to finish all the foundational lessons before doing drills, or divide my time between both. The lessons are long and sometimes feel very abstract. Please let me know what approach you’d recommend for someone starting completely from scratch

I really think I'm burning out. How do y'all get out of the slump? I'm aiming for anywhere between a 155 and 160 on the LSAT. My best PT score is a 158 and most of my BRs are in the 160s.

I took a PT 2 weeks ago and got a 153. Took one today and got a 152. I'm finding that by section 3 I'm starting to feel the burnout.

I took the September LSAT and got a 151 and wanted to die haha. Since then I've been really hunkering down on keeping a thorough wrong answer journal, reviewing all my questions, working on my timing (which is really good now). But now I'm at the point where I just don't know what to do next.

Any tips? I work full time and I'm a mom so my study time in the evenings is ROUGH.

I took a prep course with my university, and I am only at 135. I take the LSAT on November 5th, and I am VERY worried!! I really want a 157.
