😰 Scared

How much drilling should I be doing?

Hi everyone, I am new to 7sage and LSAT Prep. Im only on my first week doing the foundations. I was wondering when I should start to add pratice questions into my study plan and how much to do? Do I wait till I'm through with foundations or start now? Being new at these concepts and then going to drilling and getting very few right is demotivating, but I don't know if thats normal.

my 7sage priority drills changed!

I previously had most of my LR priority drills flagged as "highest priority". Been weeding out my problem areas one by one, started with Inference/MBT because its my weakest drill and I have the lowest accuracy. Suddenly, my stats changed...most of my drills have now dropped to low priority. Is this a sign of improvement? Or is there a glitch. I still have some high/highest priority topics.

Hey everyone,

Looking for some guidance on where to go from here.

I took my diagnostic a little while back and just sat for my first real PrepTest since studying. I ended up with a 175 timed and a 180 on Blind Review. Definitely happy with the result, but it’s also left me wondering what the smartest path forward is.

A few details/context:

I’ve been studying pretty deliberately for the past few weeks (really just going through the core curriculum)

Timing felt mostly fine on the test, but I could tell I was flirting with the edge on a couple of LR questions at the end (which showed in my section 1 results).

RC was solid but not effortless, I know I can get faster and more consistent.

I’m planning to take the actual LSAT within the next year and want to lock in a high-170s score reliably.

My main questions:

If I’m already testing in the mid-170s, how should I structure my study going forward?

Should I slow down PT frequency and focus more on targeted drilling?

How do I avoid plateauing or getting too comfortable too early?

Is there value in redoing old sections when I’m already at -0 BR?

Any advice on making sure this wasn’t a fluke?

Running out of time on RC

In taking practice tests, I run out of time on RC. I don’t feel like I’m reading slow but the combination of reading then answering questions is killing me. Anyone have any suggestions? I would be scoring around 160 if I wasn’t running out of time and guessing….

Thank you in advance!

Can someone please explain why A is correct? Here was my initial breakdown/reasoning for why I thought E was the right point of issue:

Stim: There were some footprints found.

Dr. T: These are obviously hominid footprints because they have some human characteristics.

Dr. R: No Dr. T, these are not obviously hominid footprints because if you're right, then these hominids would've walked in a really weird way that's unlikely

ACs:

A: Originally got rid of A because it seemed like they both acknowledged the significance of the evidence, just that they interpreted the "squarish heel and a big toe etc" evidence differently in terms of what it meant

B: Neither of them really touch on this - seems like they both agree this set of footprints is at least somewhat distinguishable

C: Gait? Isn't mentioned by either

D: Dr. R isn't saying that this isn't enough evidence to support T's conclusion, she's saying that the evidence doesn't support the conclusion

E: R mentions how weird it would be if the hominids walked "in an unexpected cross-stepping manner, by placing the left foot to the right of the right foot," which I assumed was just walking upright. Hence why I chose E

Hi all,

I'm currently doing the drills for Logical Reasoning and am finding trouble locating the proper tag for the Role Questions (e.g., identify the role of sentence XY in the argument). There seems to be no specific tags for this type of question when creating the drill.

Is it possible there is another tag for the role questions?

Hi! I was wondering if 7sage was planning on adding, or if anyone knew other sources for, explanations for the older PTs that are suggested at the bottom, such as A, B, etc?

Further open to any thoughts and advice/suggestions for good study material for anyone else who has used the traditional PTs already (has everything at close to or at 0% fresh).

Thanks!

Main point: RC

Hello,

Ive been really struggling with the main point or main idea questions in RC, I consistently get the first question wrong and I was wondering if anyone had any insights or tips on how to overcome this. Thank you! :)

using analytics?

how do y'all use your analytics? I feel like there's so much data there that I'm not taking advantage of.

does the study plan basically do that for you? or should I be building in extra drills to specifically target my weaknesses?

are there any hidden details that you've found helpful?

should I be worried that my drilling accuracy hasn't budged (even though my pt scores have been going up)? or does that just mean the ~algorithm~ is assigning me harder drills?

grateful for any wisdom you guys share!

Breakthrough

Just curious.

For anyone who has made it from the mid-150s to the 160s, what was the turning point?

Whether it was a specific LSAT strategy or something outside the test (like your daily routine), I’d love to hear what your turning point was.

Possible retake?

This may just be my nerves and lack of confidence talking. I took the LSAT this morning and am unsure how I did. My last few PTs have ranged from 154-159 with my highest BR in low 160s. My goal was a 160, but I’ll be content and decline a retake if I score at least a 158. Should I continue studying before knowing my score or pick up again once I get the score on the 26th? The next test dates are for January I think. Any opinions/advice appreciated.

Edit: Is January LSAT too late for applications? Would that just delay me until next cycle?

So, I just took a paper exam, and I don't know my score nor which questions I missed. I want to plug my answers into 7sage using the manual import, but before I did that, I just wanted to know if it was possible to blind review a prep test when I've manually inputted my answers. I've only ever imported from LawHub before, and I didn't try to BR those tests (or even look into whether or not I could), since I already knew what I had missed.

154-156 Score Help - Logical Reasoning

I've put putting in the work for about two months and seen great improvement. My initial diagnostic score was a 145 and I was able to increase that to a 154 on the October LSAT. My logical reasoning sections tend to be very hit or miss. Example: I just took a full LSAT today and on the first section I made it through all but one problem and scored 20/25. On the second LR section I made it through the same number of problems and got a 13/27 which is much lower than my normal. I usally score about 17/18 correct every section.

I am wondering if anyone has any advice for narrowing the gap between my good sections and my really bad ones. I've reviewed and cannot determine why I did so well on one and not the other. I'm taking the LSAT again tomorrow and hoping to get a few points higher than I did in October. Any last minute tips would be appreciated!

😖 Frustrated

Do better on sections rather than PTs

As the title suggests, I notice that I do sections (individual portions of the tests), better than I do actually PT sections. Why is that? I notice that my timing is better and overall individual score per section is better when I do sections.

It is really nerve-wracking because of the November LSAT is coming up :(

Closing the Gap in Blind Review

Hi 7Sage!

I'll be taking my second LSAT this Friday, but I'm definitely planning on taking a third in January. I've been in the mid-160s since starting 7Sage in September, but my Blind Review scores are always somewhere in the high 160s/low 170s.

I'm usually stuck between two answers but always seem to pick the wrong one—I just completed a LR section where I got -7 on the first run-through and -0 during Blind Review.

Any advice on how to close the gap? Thanks!!

How to use Study Plan

Hello, I am fairly new to studying for the LSAT and my plan is to take the first LSAT in June 2026. I am trying to get a 175, but I don't know how to approach the studying. According to the study plan I should spend the first 10 weeks or so on the core curriculum and then after start practicing/drilling. Is that what I should do? Or should I structure my studying in another way? For example, I do the core curriculum one day and then practice another day?

Is there a rule of thumb about when it's okay to consider common sense outside information and when it's not? For example, in PT132.S4.Q17, wrong answer choice (E) cites smoking as an explanation for cancer/heart disease even though the stimulus didn't mention smoking. However, in other questions (that I can't think of to link) answer choices with external information were written off. Would appreciate any insight, it's really starting to trip me up...

Tips and Tricks

Does anyone have a sheet or google doc with the best tips and tricks to look over before going into test day? I have all my notes but it is a large accumulation of notes from months. Just looking to find a simple tips and tricks sheet. Thanks

Maybe I’m dumb but just took my first PT on lawhub (would’ve taken it on 7sage but I want the free test that comes with the Fee waiver so I have to take two PTs on lawhub) i imported it to 7sage but now I want to BR but don’t have the option to Br that test on 7sage… so I’m wondering what would be the best move now? Retake it self paced on lawhub? Retake that Pt entirely on 7sage and just exclude from analytics?

Any help is appreciated!

Also should I Br the entire test or only what I got wrong? Going from drills to having to Br a whole PT is stressful af

Matching / Parallel

One more LSAT question. Does anyone have advice for matching flaws or parallel reasoning or most similar to the argument type questions? Anything someone said that helped them click for you, or something that helps you get through them quicker? These are the ones I struggle with the most, particularly for pacing and speed.

Going backwards!!!!

I am writing the LSAT in November. I was on a pretty good trajectory until this week. I am drilling causal reasoning and getting most wrong. I do not know what is going on. I go on the lives for CR, and at the time seem to understand, and then I drill and I am still stuck. Any ideas? What the heck am I not getting - rhetorical question, Ha! Anyone feeling like this?
