This is what my past few tests have looked like: timed between 167 and 176 with my BR being 177-180. I am able to whittle the answer choices down to 2 and one of them is correct every single time, but I seem to pick the wrong one each time.

Sometimes I literally feel like I am intentionally misreading when timed because when I read the question over in BR I wonder why I even chose the one I chose in the first place. Other times I get it wrong becaue I missed a qualifying word or misread a word completely.

I have accommodations and am diagnosed with ADHD so.... Any tips?

My issues tend to be Crit/Deb passages, causal reasoning, and parallel.

Has anyone else taken a PT with a question removed then have that question marked against you? It’s currently happening to me with PT119. Is there anyway to fix that?

Hello hello, bit of a long shot posting here but I've noticed I am suddenly dropping the ball on all questions ranked in the 150 zones. I am really not sure what is happening. It seems the answer choice I strike out immediately is usually the correct one... It's been like this for about 2 weeks now and I am wondering if theres any advice whatsoever to help shake this or if I just need to drill drill drill the harder level question types and push past it. Its getting really discouraging and my LSAT is Sep 12. Any advice is welcome here- I might even resort to patting my head and rubbing my belly. Thanks in advance!

Ive done tons of RC passages, and I find myself stuck on the same two things every time. Either I miss an important detail that turns into a question or I find myself just not remembering the right things because of a poor paragraph summary. For me, Im loosing faith in the idea that you dont have to understand the whole passage. Ive found myself lost on questions simply because I didnt have a strong enough understanding. The idea of needing only 70%-80% understanding seems to be arbitrary and subjective.

What are some strategies that you guys use? I try to do the short summary but never seem to actually capture the right things in my summaries. Untimed I do well because I can re-read and parse through dense text. I dont struggle with RC in any other test, as I dont have to read something in 4 minutes.

Still recovering from getting a 163 in August, the same score that I got in April. For context, just before my April exam I had been PTing in the mid to high 160s, whereas for two months before August I had been PTing in low to mid 170s. Literally the last PT I had took (158) I got a 178. I didn’t even get test-day jitters in August and felt rather confident / similar to my PTs where I scored in the 170s.

I’m definitely applying to law school this fall cycle as I graduated in May 2025 and have a good amount of WE up my sleeve (and just really miss school). I registered for October within the hour of seeing my August score. Going to go at it this month and try one last time, but I wanted to ask for advice. How the hell should I prepare for this? I feel like the pts are so substantially different from the actual exams that they currently give, and I honestly don’t know what, if anything, I should be doing differently from my previous routine and approach if I was scoring so well in PTs / individual sections. Is there anything that can be done to prepare for this exam as it’s actually given? Would love anyone’s input on this because I was honestly devastated from my August score and really need help.

Hey everybody! im currently gearing up to take my first LSAT on sep 9. My goal is a 160 but im consistently scoring a 155 on every pt i take. I hoped by now id see some 160's on my pt's but i havent gotten one above 156. Just wondering if anyone has any tips i should try in the next week?

If I already have an argumentative writing sample from April test, I don't need to do another, right?

Hi everyone! I need some advice on what to do so please bare with me if this is all over the place.

So basically, I took the August LSAT and came out with a 151. Honestly I'm not sure what happened but I was devastated. I took a PT this past saturday after not studying since the exam and scored a 159/BR 170; which is similar to what I was testing before.

I was hoping to get around 165 and apply this cycle. I am registered for the September exam and October. I've been working full time, but starting to take some more time off now to study and hopefully raise my score.

So my questions are:

1. Do I cancel my august score?

2. Do I even bother taking the September exam? Or should I cancel August, take Sept. and also take October?

3. Or keep August, take September, and October? i feel like that would look bad?

4. How can i bridge the gap between my score and BR?? That gap is driving me crazy. Sometimes I think I rush through the prompts/ACs but I ran out of time on two of the LR sections in August so I'm not sure if that's the case or if i was just super nervous.

Sorry and thank you in advance!

Its so hard to speak to other people especially when other LSAT prep companies have discords for students to speak to each other, I was wondering if this is achievable and possible here?

Hey everyone! Really glad to join the community. I’ve been self-studying for the LSAT since July, and after recently discovering the 7Sage podcast, I knew I needed to dive into the forums—my only regret is not finding this place sooner!

Right now, I’m scoring in the low-to-mid 160s on practice tests and am looking forward to using 7Sage to push into the 170s.

Are there any other non-traditional students here balancing LSAT prep with a full-time job?

Excited to learn alongside everyone here. Happy studying!

Hi! I am currently looking for a tutor as my self studying is a slow progression. I have recently broke into the low 160s in PT, but still dealing with dips in scores here and there. I am hoping to take October LSAT and am set to take September (given I don't withdraw). Took the August LSAT and was 12 points below my most recent PT. My goal score is 165-170, would love any advice or tutor references!

Hey guys, I have been doing my study plan and have gotten through most of it, but I do not feel like the lessons are teaching me much because when I take the test, and I am under a timer, I do not remember or apply any of the lessons. Does anyone else have a hard time applying the lessons to a timed test? And I have been thinking about just doing daily drills and practice tests from now on, any suggestions on that?

Feels like most posts/info are US based and also feels like most people end up taking the LSAT multiple times and only happy if they are scoring 170-180.

Am I totally naive in being hopeful that a score of 160-165 has a chance over here in Canada?

Taking the exam for the first time in Sept, studying around life and kids, and somedays it feels like there’s no chance of pulling this off

I do well on LR videos and drills when the stimulus is read aloud, and I can usually pause and answer correctly before the explanation. But I’m struggling to replicate that performance on practice tests. I think I understand stimuli better when I hear them than when I read silently, and I often need to reread them. Does anyone have advice for improving silent comprehension and processing stimuli efficiently under timed conditions?

As a visual learner, what are some tips you guys have done to improve your score in practice and during timed sessions?

Ive been recently seeing people scoring lower than their PT scores, is there any advice or help for something like this? I understand there is test anxiety but other than that what could be the issue. Also, what are the biggest jumps to do from a 154 pt hump.

I screwed up my Aug LSAT and registered for the Nov one. I’m planning on drilling/practicing and getting some tutoring, but am worried about submitting my application in December after scores come out. I haven’t started writing or anything yet, but I’m going to be both studying/writing for the next 2-3 months. Is a December submission too late??

I just finished the LR learning lessons! Should I now: do LR drills every day? Start taking timed practice tests, including RC section? Take untimed practice tests? Take untimed or timed LR sections only while I do RC curriculum, then take full practice tests? What approach is best? I will be beginning the RC curriculum, but want to make sure I'm still regularly engaging with LR so as to not lose those skills.

Hi everyone! I somehow only recently realized that LSAT Argumentative Writing is a separate part of the LSAT, and I’m trying to figure out the best way to prepare for it.

For those of you who have already taken it or are currently preparing:

• How much time did you spend preparing for the writing portion?

• Does 7Sage have specific lessons or practice prompts for Argumentative Writing that you recommend?

• How many practice essays did you do before taking the real thing?

• Is there a particular structure/template that worked well for you?

• How seriously should we treat the writing sample given that it isn’t scored but is still sent to law schools?

I was planning on taking the LSAT in October, but after my recent PT I decided to hold and take my time to prepare, so I’m trying to figure out how much of my study time I should dedicate to this versus LR and RC.

Would really appreciate hearing about your experiences and how you approached it!

Are we allowed to bring our own highlighters, colored pens, etc into the LSAT testing center?

While taking practice tests, I see that I am using these tools extensively. I just wanted to make sure it was allowed so I can mimic the environment as closely as possible.

Hi everyone!

I’m currently studying for the November test and everytime I take an untimed section I’m getting -4 and -5 consistently, how do I translate this to my timed tests? 🤔

Does anyone have a good source for Abstract feminist/art articles?

For the most part i got LR locked down (just silly misreads in S3). RC is where i've been -7/-10. i feel like I burn out too quickly in RC which I feel may be why I sometimes don't understand a passage. any tips? I would hate for RC to be what gets in the way of getting to my goal score :(

Hello! I recently found a tutor I am planning to work with (180 scorer) to prepare for the November LSAT. I scored a 171 on the August LSAT, and my goal is as close to a 180 as possible in November. If anyone is in a similar testing range as I am and is interested in being my study buddy for tutoring, please DM me! It will be $90/hr each for a two-person (joint) study session with the tutor. I am also interested in studying together outside of the tutoring sessions!

Hi all! I'm registered to take the September LSAT and I am wondering if it's better to be consistently drilling every day or if I should focus on taking more PrepTests. I've heard conflicting things, but my biggest concern has to do with stamina (although I'm also afraid of being burnt out come test day...)

Any advice is greatly appreciated! Thank you :)
