I'll try to keep this brief: I've been studying since January 2025. My diagnostic was a 151 and my score has since risen to a 169 (my highest BR was a 177), but I've been in the 160s for a longggg time (for around 6 months now). I've taken the test twice and am planning to retake for a third (and final) time this June, but I'm really not sure what other practices to implement to help get my score up to the 170s. Feels like I've tried just about everything. I hate to be a debbie downer, but I also want to be realistic. With this much time spent bouncing around in the 160s is it even worth it to hope for consistent 170s scores? Is there a light at the end of the 160s plateau? If anyone has been in a similar situation and was able to score consistently in the 170s, what changed for you?

My testing date is April 10, and I have 6 fresh full practice tests left. Do you recommend taking one every week to give myself the most practice possible before April 10, or taking them every two weeks, prioritizing drills, and leaving ~3 fresh tests for me to work with if I plan to take the LSAT again in June?

I have heard mixed things about whether or not to do full Ptests every week. Up until now I've been doing them about every two weeks, and have had good results; but I've also heard you should take them more frequently as you get closer to the test date.

Advice would be much appreciated!

I honestly wouldn't recommend this course, I began with an 145, I am about to take a prep test and I know for a fact that the instructors have confused me more than help me, just tell me why and which answer is correct not make me think why the other answers might be correct is annoying, I hightly regret taking this course

I have created a cheat sheet with some common errors you might make while answering the questions. I also included common traps that the LSAT might try to use and some patterns you might see. Some of this information overlaps, and I got most of it from the 7Sage tools. Just sharing in case anyone wants to keep this info all in one place!

Assessing Question Cheat Sheet

When take timed LR sections, I'm getting 11-14 questions wrong. But when I do the blind review/untimed sections, I'm only getting 4-5 wrong. How do I fix this? What am I doing wrong?

Hey! I want to draw your attention to three Fast Track lessons available at the end of the LR Unit:

These are designed to be short (~1 hour) overview lessons for people starting with a high diagnostic, or review lessons for people who have gone through the CC or other curriculum and just want a refresher on important points.

Since we're planning to make more of these, I'm eager to hear some feedback to make future lessons better. Most people won't see these lessons as part of their study plans, so I'm bringing this request to the Discussion forum. Thanks!

This may be a stupid question, but here I go... Should I be expected to be using Lawgic on scrap paper when exam day rolls around? Or am I simply training my brain to think this way, and it'll eventually be the "language" I read these problems in... I am currently in the stage of study where I'm really feeling like I have a strong grasp on Lawgic, but I tend to wonder sometimes if it slows me down... Is that just a product of learning Lawgic and eventually it'll be quick? Currently on the 3 Formal Arguments Combined section of Conditional & Set Logic module.

I have been constantly scoring between 164-166 for the last 4 PTs with a BR of 174 on 3 of those 4. Today I went in pretty confident because I had gotten -4 on multiple RC sections this week and a -1 on LR. I completely fell apart and got a 160. The BR was a 174 again (-2, -1, -1) but I did find the questions to be harder different from a lot of the questions I had been doing sections with. Most of the issue seemed to be pressure under time and less just not being able to complete the questions in enough time because I usually don't have an issue with that. Going from -1 on LR to -9 and from -4 to -8 on RC came out of the blue for me too because I did better on the LR on my preliminary exam and have studied 4.5 months since then. I am aiming for a 171-174 and plan on taking the April exam. Any recommendations on avoiding such a drastic collapse especially after a month of constant progress? Thank!

I want to share drillsets with a study partner. Is there any ways to do this? I am thinking I will start a 5 question drillset and then send it over to them and they will see the exact same questions, but every time I tried to share a drillset it was different questions. Any advice will help.

Hi 7sagers! I am currently back to practicing for the LSAT after having taken a few months long hiatus. I have taken a couple of practice LSATs before, however, now I can't seem to muster doing more than 5-question drills at a time. The practice LSATs feel too overwhelming at this point, even though I've made my way through most of the Core Curriculum (though this was months ago).

What are my options? I feel that whenever I open a PT, I end up just rushing through the questions to get it done. I need to build up my endurance and discipline, but how?

TIA!

Hey ya'll

I have a question regarding harder passages for RC. I think I am comprehending the passages, however, my accuracy is comparably worse. My accuracy is fine in easier passages. How do I go about studying harder passages? I am timing them 12 minutes. Should I not time myself during hard passages or? After a section how should I review the questions! Just looking for general advice. Anything.

I am a 27 year old father of 3 with special needs children. I major in Computer science, am in my junior year as a full time student, and currently have a 3.28 GPA (I expect to graduate with a 3.5). I work 19 hours a week in my university's I.T. department as a network technician. Ive worked in the past as a crane operator, bank teller, and Helpdesk Tech. Right now, I am intending to take the June 6th LSAT to make the early application cycle, with hopes of attending Harvard (I know that's a stretch). Before any studying, I scored a 146 on my first PT. I am studying exclusively through 7Sage and don't intend to PT/drill again until at least finishing the core curriculum. My target score is a 176, and I will retest if I am not at least in the 170's.

Am I going about this the wrong way? is Harvard an unrealistic super reach for me? Is 25 hours of studying a week even close to enough? All I read online indicates a score in the 170's requires a minimum (usually more) of 6 months of intensive study...

any opinions would be greatly appreciated, the more honest, the better...

I have started to do Blind Reviews for my Pratice Tests and I go over all the questions that I flagged, because I either wasn't 100% sure of the correct answer or i didn't get to finish the question during the Pratice Test . But 7Sage Circles other questions it believes that I should blind review as well. Should I do the questsions 7Sage suggest as well, or only do the ones I flagged so I can get a more accurate score on my blind review?

are there full prep tests in the study plan? like for diagnostics??? I want to see what I would score as I go through the plan. Do I need to do that separately?

I had a friend tell me what you score on the blind review is a more accurate representation of what your LSAT score would be. Is that true? Wanted a second opinion.

I've been studying for about a month and a half and am planning on testing in june and possible again in august. The most recent preptest i took, i got a 157. I feel like I'm not studying correctly. Additionally, I feel like fatigue was a big factor. Any advice? My dream school is UF and my GPA is above theirs but their LSAT median is 169.

I have been studying for about about 3 months and am planning to take the April 2026 LSAT. I take a timed LR section almost every day, and for the past two weeks, I have been stuck getting -3 incorrect. Sometimes I get -4. I can't seem to progress past that point- which is difficult, since I am trying to break into the 170's. The questions I get wrong are usually the most difficult, but sometimes they are level 3 or 4. I always finish the section. Does anybody have any tips for getting over this hump? Thanks.

Hey guys- does anyone have recommendations for how I should be studying in the month leading up to my first official LSAT. I don't feel entirely confident, but I am going to take it and see

Hi there, I was wondering if anyone has a template to keep track of correct/incorrect questions on Excel?

I'm not sure how to describe it, but something that has cells where you can keep track of your reasoning, why it was wrong, why I flagged questions, etc.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank You!

I have noticed that the more I seem to study, the lower my PT score goes. My highest PT currently is a 154, which I simply do not think is good enough. I have been studying for about 5 months, so nothing too crazy. I do think I can get my score up and I am going to keep chipping away at this program, I am sure it is helping. My issue seems to be that I am taking steps back with more studying. Has anyone else had a similar issue? Maybe I am doing something wrong while studying. Hopefully with time this dip will turn into an upward trend, but it is awfully demoralizing. If anyone has a similar experience, please let me know!

I work full time and I have opted to study part time (7-9 hours/week) using 7sage over the course of 6 months leading up the June LSAT. I finished the course curriculum a few days ago. I noticed that the time estimates for lessons were often underestimates, especially for written lessons with no videos. For example, it would estimate only 3 minutes to read a lesson that was the equivalent of a few pages without including time to take notes.

Additionally, the time estimates for drills did not include any time to watch video explanations for incorrect answers (e.g. 30 min estimate for the time it took to do a drill + BR, not including the additional 15-30 minutes for watching video explanations and reviewing incorrect answers).

I found this additional time spent studying manageable for the course curriculum - the equivalent of 1-2 extra hours on some weeks. However, I just started the Practice component of my study plan. I selected 1-2 hours per day for my first Practice Block. Day 1 included 1x 20 min 2 passage RC drill, 1x 60 min RC section, and 1x 40 min 2 passage RC drill (total estimate 2 hours). Following the instructions for BR and reviewing the incorrect answers, Day 1 took nearly 4 hours. This is not a manageable time commitment on weeknights for someone working full time with other responsibilities. The timed RC drills of course take only 17 minutes, but the 20, and even 40, minute estimates hardly leave time for BR, and definitely do not include time for reviewing incorrect answers after the BR. These included videos ranging from 2 to 15 minutes for 1 RC question.

At this rate, I will not be able to get through half of 1 week study block without doubling my study time which, goes without saying, I simply do not have the time to do. I cannot dedicate more than 1.5-2 hours/day during the work week to studying. While I will of course do longer days for PrepTests on the weekend, this will still not be enough time to complete the study block created by 7sage. I see no options in the settings to decrease the time, as 1-2 hours/day is the shortest offered. If I stick to my max 2 hours study time on week nights, I will quickly fall behind on the Practice Blocks.

I have 2 main questions:

1. Can 7sage adjust these time estimates so people can plan their study time more realistically? Or, is there a way for me to adjust the settings that I am not seeing?

2. Does anyone else have experience with this/have recommendations to get study blocks done in the actual 7-9 hours they do have? Should I not do the study blocks at all and instead do drills 5 days per week and 1 prep test?

Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated!!

I was planning on taking the June LSAT remotely, since I study in the same spot each day at my home, and was hoping the familiarity might help me perform better as opposed to in-person. However, after the announcement that June will be the last chance to take the remote LSAT, I have come across multiple horror stories of remote testing experiences (proctors, timing, etc.). I want to make sure this is accurate.

I would really appreciate hearing about anyone's experiences/knowledge about taking the remote test, and or in-person. I don't plan on re-taking, so it's super important to me that I have a good experience.

Thank you and have a great day!

Hi everyone, I have finally decided I want to apply for law school this September but I just got started a few days ago with studying. I got 150 on my practice test and the core curriculum is showing an end of May 17 for me as I picked the 2-4 hours per day option. Do you guys think I have enough time to study or does it sound unreasonable? Another 7sage page recommended about 9 months to study for the LSAT but I only have about 5 at most. Any tips on top of doing the core curriculum? I think I will also get a NYT subscription and start reading that daily.

hey guys i keep on getting tangled with answer options that mention things like "mistakes a sufficient condition for a necessary one" or similarly. can someone explain this to me please
