Hey everyone!

I’ve recently started studying and have been following a pretty strict study schedule. I’m about five months out from my test date, and I’m wondering if this is a good time to start increasing the intensity of my studying, or if you’d recommend a different approach. There are so many drills and practice tests available, and I’m unsure whether I should save the drills for closer to the test date. Any advice given is super helpful! Thank you!

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 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!

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?

When to start PTing

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.

😖 Frustrated

Underperformed on test day

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 :)

Lsat practice scores decreasing

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

Recent PTs: 65–71 range, BR ~175. My misses cluster in LR (causal + sampling flaws, occasional parallel flaw) and RC main point/inference when passages are dense. LG is -0/-1. If you had 14 days, how would you schedule:

  • Targeted drilling (question banks vs. PT sections)

  • Blind Review steps that actually move the needle (not just re-reading)

  • Error log categories you’ve found most predictive

  • Full PT frequency (how many in two weeks without burning out accuracy) Looking for concrete schedules (day-by-day or blocks) that worked for you.

If anyone has a concrete two-week plan that actually worked for them, I’d appreciate it. Also found this general legal-study resource helpful while thinking about test strategy.

🤔 Curious

New Disclosed PTs

Hello! Just was wondering if the new released disclosed PT (I think it's the April 2025/Feb 2014 exam) will be uploaded to 7Sage sometime soon? I would like to take this before the January exam, but I would prefer to take it on the computer! Thank you!

To those who have mastered conditional lawgic,

I am wondering what study methods you used to master this. Drilling questions is one thing, but what other methods did you use? Is there a quizlet out there that has all the indicators, translation rules, etc. that I can use? please let me know!

I just scored a 163 on PT139.

Just for some background, I decided to study for the LSAT about a month ago and I have just one chance to take it in January if I want to begin in the fall. I work full time and study when I can, but my job can be very demanding at times. I've taken a practice test every weekend for the past 4 weeks and have scored 164 3 times in a row, and a 163 just yesterday. My blind review is consistently high and I found it's because most of the questions I get wrong are the ones where I'm left between two options.

How can I improve to at least 170 before January 5th? The recorded lessons are great and all, but I've been having some difficulty learning the "lawgic" so I've just been doing all the questions in my head. Is there a better way to study? I feel like the tutoring sessions helped just a bit, but I'm not seeing any improvement.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
