Hi all,

I have watch all the curriculum videos. I spent hours and hours and hours since June. I still be PT'ing at 135. My goal is to get 160

I have a few questions:

1. What am I doing wrong?

2. I don't want to watch any more videos. I'm sick of them (no offense) should I just drill from now on?

I just need advice.

Coach already assigned error

Hello, Im unfortunately experiencing above mentioned error. I reached out to LSAC directly and they advised to reach out to 7Sage as they see matching email addresses. Could you please look into this? I do not recall having another 7sage account.

I've been stuck in the low 160s for months--since August actually. I kept drilling and scored a 163 on my November exam. I took a month off before getting back on the LSAT train, and I scored this after not touching the LSAT for a month. Praise God!

For those who remain in a plateau: Keep going. It will eventually click.

Hello, I just took the November 2025 LSAT and scored a 147. This was a little confusing because I was pting in the mid 150's before I took the exam. I have decided to take the January LSAT before applying this cycle and was wondering if anyone has any tips on how to improve in the next four weeks, specifically reading comprehension. Thank you in advance!

Hi everyone — I’m hoping to get some advice about building stamina for the accommodated version of the LSAT.

I receive 50% extended time and stop-the-clock breaks, so my sections are 53 minutes each and the whole test ends up being about 4 hours. I’ve been taking full practice tests under realistic conditions, but I’m finding that my accuracy drops noticeably in the second half of the test. Even when I’m well-rested, I start to feel mentally drained after the second section, and my focus slips especially on LR and occasional RC passages.

I’ve been practicing with the same timing I’ll have on test day and taking the 10-minute breaks between sections, but I’m still struggling to maintain consistent performance across all four sections.

Has anyone found effective ways to build stamina specifically for an extended-time LSAT?

I’d love advice on:

  • How to structure practice tests (e.g., whether to split sections or always do full-length)

  • How to use the between-section breaks and stop-the-clock breaks strategically

  • Whether to do “back-to-back section” stamina training on off days

  • Any adjustments to study schedule that have helped others with 50% extra time

I’m seeing strong Blind Review scores (around 170 on my last PT), but my real-time performance drops by ~5–7 points, and I suspect stamina is a big part of it. Any tips or experiences would be super appreciated!

🙃 Confused

LSAT and Argumentative Writing

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’ve been struggling with the harder Logical Reasoning questions that tend to appear near the end of the section, so I want to create targeted drills to improve. My plan is to build sets of five challenging LR questions— 1 SA/NA, 1 Parallel Flaw, 1 Weaken, 1 Must Be True, and 1 Flaw question—since these are the types I often see later in the section.

Is this an effective approach? Are these question types actually more common at the end of LR sections, or is their placement essentially random?

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?

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!

Need tips!

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?!

180!!!!!!!!!

Hi guys, just got my score hold lifted and I wanted to say thank you to 7sage for helping me with getting a 180. I started off with a pretty low diagnostic(165) and they were able to help me move up by 15 points!!!!!. Thanks to J.Y for the explanations.

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!!!

LSAT Prepping

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?

I'm taking the LSAT in January 2026 and plan to submit my application to all the law schools I'm interested in as soon as I get my score. Is it too late to apply to start in the fall of 2026? I'm in Florida, and a majority of the schools I want to go to have their priority deadlines by February-March 2026. Will I make it just in the nick of time?
