Hi friends! Just took my first official LSAT. I had a major technological issue which really messed up my focus, and I am unsure how I did.

I am worried I might have to take the LSAT again to get the score I really want, but I also do want to take some time to rest after just taking it.

Does anyone have tips on how to maintain testing skills during downtime? My main concern is that I will take too much time off and then be pushed back again on my studies.

Thanks!

I am struggling with my stamina for reading comprehension. I either have to pause after every section or two to take a short brain break, or I do the section but don't comprehend anything and get a bad score.

Any tips for improving this?

Are we able to wear headphones if we are taking the lsat remotely

I have a tough time trying to answer questions that require looking back into the passage. Usually because it takes up a lot of time and sometimes multiple answers seem right. Any tips to get better at these? Currently my RC score is -10.

hi! i just started studying for my LSAT last Saturday / took a diagnostic test w a score of 144 and BR of 151...I was aiming to take the test in June but a bit concerned this isnt enough time to bump my score? I guess Im just not too sure how much time is sufficient to jump at least 15ish pts from my diagnostic. any advice?

Hi everyone!

I'm in week 4 of studying. I'm planning to test in June. I took a diagnostic 2 years ago but have not since then. I know I should (probably planning to do so this weekend). But when should I start religiously doing timed PTs/Timed Sections? Am i starting too late? Should I wait until im done with the LR/RC Theory sections? Any advice is welcome! Thanks!

Heyy, I am struggling with all Parallel/analogy questions does anyone have something that helped them understand how to go about it. Thanks

Hi everyone! Seeking some advice.

I have the study plan that 7Sage generated for me and I am still doing the foundations/core curriculum. Should I also start adding in my own drills? Or wait until I reach the practice phase? For reference I took the January LSAT so I already have a good bit of practice under my belt, but I want to strength my foundations before the April test. Looking to improve 6-10 points.

Has anyone else experienced this? I am doing the Reinforce Drills from the generated study plan to get passages I have done poorly on in the past, the automated selection system keeps giving me the same ones to the point where I remember every question without having to read it lol.

So I am fairly new to the LSAT studying process. I just recently completed the core curriculum last week and begun my first practice block this week. In it I was assigned my first practice exam. As you can see from the results there is a pretty large gap between my raw timed score and my blind review score.

I knew going into it from the drills and practice sections that I had a pretty good understanding of the material and that early on, timing would be my biggest challenge (I didn’t even get to the last RC passage on the PT 😭). Often times in practice it would cause me to rush my answers after about the midway point. However I definitely did not expect there to be this large of a discrepancy between timed and untimed review.

During the blind review I made sure that I completed it without any support from outside sources (notes & lessons) as we are supposed to. So I know this was completely from knowledge.

But my question is how do I close this large gap? I know people will say to just slow down. But is that all there is to it? How can I go about improving my ability under time pressure the proper way?

Any help/advice from anyone who has gone through something similar would be greatly appreciated!

Hello everyone,

I am currently using the study schedule that 7Sage makes. I just wanted to know if I should go through the core curriculum until I get to the practices or do my own practice drills as well? I know I will have to start taking full practice exams as well.

Currently I work full time, have 2 kids, and my husband is away in the military. I appreciate any tips and advice on this matter.

Is it okay to read aloud when taking the test remotely? I know they monitor my computer and webcam, and wanted to make sure that wouldn't be seen as cheating or anything?

I've found that I score much better on reading comp when I read aloud than when I don't.

Some questions for the Bonus PTs (7 through 23) will have weird highlighting that's clearly wrong when you click "Show analysis." Please ignore.

You should trust the highlights if and only if there's an associated written explanation. If there isn't one, then the highlights are not a product of human judgment, but some random default based on the code.

Previously, when selecting a Q-Type tag (like MBT) and a Stim Logic tag (like Conditional Reasoning), you'd get questions tagged MBT OR CondR. But we've found that most students and tutors prefer an AND relationship in that situation. They'd really want to target conditional-based MBT questions and prefer to minimize other kinds of questions.

Here's how the filters work now:

Multiple tags within the same category: OR

Example: Must Be True, Sufficient Assumption = MBT OR SA

Example: Conditional Reasoning, Causal Reasoning = CondR OR CausR

Multiple tags across different categories: AND

Example: Sufficient Assumption, Causal Reasoning = SA AND CausR

Example: Must Be True, Sufficient Assumption, Conditional Reasoning, Causal Reasoning = (MBT OR SA) AND (CondR OR CausR)

Breaking into the 170s on Logical Reasoning is not about doing more questions. It is about building the right habits.

In this episode of the 7Sage LSAT Podcast, instructors Bailey and Chapin talk through the key Logical Reasoning habits that separate top scorers from the rest. They explain why LR plateaus happen, how 170 plus scorers approach arguments differently, and what actually drives consistent improvement.

You will learn how to spot what an argument must assume, how to eliminate wrong answer choices with confidence, and how to review mistakes in a way that leads to real score gains. If you are stuck in the high 160s or want to make your LR practice more effective, this episode is for you.

The LSAT is hard. We will help you crush it anyways.

I am early in my LSAT studying (about halfway through theory modules) and have heard people talk about keeping a mistake journal? When should I start? How do I know how to set it up? Are there any good videos out there? PLZ HELP!!

hi everyone! I’m in a bit of a pickle, I took my third LSAT and it didn’t quite go my way at all. I have two cancels on file already, and scored a 143 on my latest test. I’m very sad about the situation, but am wondering if anyone has any advice on if I should keep or cancel my score. I intend to study with a tutor and retake this Fall to apply for next year’s cycle. Please help! Thank you! :-)

How do you all study for the argumentative writing portion of the test? I’ve reviewed the content from 7sage but wondering how else to prepare. Should I do some practice tests through LSAC?

Hello All,

I was wondering if there's anyone else like me who scored lower than their PT’s average by 7 points and how i can resolve this issue before getting back into studies? I consistently score 158-160 and could not break out of the 150s on the offical test. What might the issues be? Even with extra time like 50 min, i had to guess on 2-3 questions in each section.

hey so I am starting to get better on LR however I am doing very poorly on RC. I have accommodations and am trying to understand what I am reading but I do not know what to look for. After looking back I got 9 questions wrong that I was between two answers and the other answer was right.

hey everyone,

I took my argumentative writing portion of the lsat today. I finished the actual essay. I wouldn't say it was my best work but it was okay given the time constraints. my only worry is that I had a number of typos that I wasn't able yo address before I ran out of time. is this nothing to be worried about??? should I be concerned...? should I redo it?? any suggestions would be helpful. thank you!

hi i just started lsat prep a week ago and im kinda nervous because right now im just in the theory section and i havent seen any practice tests yet in all of the theory section. im assuming this would start in practice section? Idk it just kind of makes me nervous. is it normal to not be doing practice tests this early?

Hi, i am currently doing my practice block on my study plan. I took a full practice test on saturday and i have a certain amount of assignments to complete each day. I took yesterday off since it was the day after my practice test, and today is monday and i come to complete my daily drills and i literally cant focus. Like i keep getting them wrong. Is that a sign maybe of drain from the PT, should i stop or push through it?

Howdy Y'all,

I just started my test prep today! Whoo hoo... confidence is high at the moment, but I know there will be hard times in the future. However, the point of this post is to ask how or if note-taking has been beneficial to you. I want to start writing down main points, my understandings, etc. to increase memory note-taking. I just wanted to hear your thoughts, how you take notes (pen/paper, or electronically) or if you even take notes at all! Thanks, have an amazing day!

I have noticed that questions on 7sage tests start easier and then get harder as the section goes on. Is that the case for the real LSAT exam as well? I am assuming that it so, but just wanted to make sure.
