I take the LSAT in approximately three months (September). I am aiming for 170s (or closest I can get in however much time). I am currently scoring anywhere from 157-162 on PTs. At the moment, I am only doing practice, but feel like I might be better served changing up my study plan/schedule. I am wondering if starting fresh and doing the core curriculum might be a better option at this stage as opposed to just doing a practice plan. I actually have not watched any of the videos yet - I used LSAT Trainer before I got on 7sage. But recently, my PrepTests have not been going so well. I am wondering if just doing the core curriculum from scratch might serve me better. It seems like there might be a gap in some things I do not know, but also do not want to sacrifice reps gained through drilling/practice

I've been taking practice tests every week for the past 6 weeks or so, and timing has been the one constant issue I've not been able to fix. This week i tried taking 2 LR sections backwards (starting with the final question and ending with the first.) my logic was that since the second half is hardest, i can dedicate more time to those questions and comfortably rush through the second half, as opposed to having to rush thru the harder second half. I scored surprisingly well using this method, and I did not struggle with time, I was able to answer each question confidently. However, I'm unsure if this method is actually helping or if I'm just getting better at time management. Anyone have any thoughts/ experience with this? pls lmk, taking the test in june!

Hi there, I have a couple questions about PT104.S2.P2 on medieval guilds. Many thanks in advance for your help!

Question 2: According to the passage, which one of the following statements about law courts in medieval England is true?

I initially leaned toward A: Some English lawyers who practiced in civil courts also practiced in church courts, but others served exclusively in one court or the other.

However, I doubted it because I thought that, on the LSAT, “some” can be inclusive of all. The portion of the passage that would support this answer choices states: 

 The alternative inference, namely, that ecclesiastical advocates were less prone to ethical lapses than their counterparts in the civil courts, seems inherently weak, especially since there was some overlap of personnel between the civil bar and the ecclesiastical bar.

By stating there was “some overlap of personnel,” I assumed that it could mean anything from one person to every person who overlapped. Therefore, I did not feel confident selecting: “Some English lawyers who practiced in civil courts also practiced in church courts, but others served exclusively in one court or the other” because I didn’t feel I could support conclusively the claim that others served exclusively in one court or the other. Am I missing something? 

Question 7: The passage suggests that which one of the following is most likely to have been true of medieval guilds?

I chose D: Medieval guilds found it difficult to enforce discipline among their members.

The explanation states: Anti-supported. We know that “other guilds” (besides canon lawyer associations) “often did [play a role in enforcing standards of conduct].

However, I am a bit confused because in the first paragraph of the passage, the author states: Advocates' professional organizations showed little fervor for disciplining their erring members. Some even attempted to hobble efforts at enforcement. The Florentine guild of lawyers, for example, forbade its members to play any role in disciplinary proceedings against other guild members.

By referencing the Florentine guild of lawyers, I thought they were providing an example of those professional associations that, as described in paragraph two, “were so inefficient that most delinquents escaped detection and punishment.” The author then goes on to argue that this hypothesis/characterization is more likely correct than the alternative posed. 

Perhaps I’m just mixing up guilds versus professional associations? 

Hi everyone! I’ll be hosting a free Logical Reasoning class tonight focused on Parallel and Parallel Flaw questions, specifically reviewing a technique called “Conclusion Matching.”

I taught this strategy last week and received a lot of positive feedback from students who found it extremely helpful.

Full transparency: I am an LSAT tutor, but I host free weekly classes that are open to everyone with absolutely no obligation to work with me 1-on-1.

If you’re free tonight, I’d love to see you there!

Thank you 7Sage, this feature is fire! 🔥

Hi all.

I have some contradictory info on how to tackle RC, at least with jargon-heavy medical passages, so I need advice.

First, generally, I enjoy RC because the passages are interesting, science in particular. And I try to apply the method: being aware of the tone, structure, viewpoints and such. But medical passages with upwards of 5 unfamiliar terms are a lost cause: I can't remember what I read because I don't understand anything and even if I try to simplify it by assigning letters to each term I still can't remember it because there's too many terms that I don't understand. So the "careful reading" advice doesn't work for me here. I can read something in another language carefully but I still won't understand it because it's in a foreign language.

When I try to simply scan over the jargon and remember where stuff is so I can go back to it, and I use elimination, I get an average of 1-2 wrong answers on 7-8 questions untimed, but timed is a disaster.

Does any of you who have my problem have a strategy you have developed to score high when timed, without actually understanding anything? 😂 Do tell. 😊

Hi everyone! Im realizing that im struggling quite a bit with RC. ive gone through the core curriculum and read and watched videos, so im familiar with the typical strategies employed when doing RC but I cant seem to actually implement it. when the passage is more difficult, i find it really hard to focus on the structure and whos arguing what. also, im not sure if its just me, but i dont feel like low res summaries really help me, they just eat up my time. any advice would be great, thank you!

Need to do this ASAP, but can't seem to do this at all. I'm getting to all the questions but no time left over to go back to them. No discernible patterns (at all) in what I'm getting wrong.

Hi y’all! I’ve had a 7Sage account for a while but only recently started looking into it seriously. I’ve taken the LSAT three times, with my highest score being 140. I used Princeton Review before, took a break from studying, and now I’m working with a tutor who uses a separate platform.

Lately, though, I feel completely burnt out. I work full time, try to study after work and on weekends, but I’ve been dealing with stress at home and I’ve really lost my discipline. My recent prep test score dropped, and honestly it hit me pretty hard.

I spoke with a law student who said 7Sage helped her a lot, especially with structure and understanding the test. The problem is I’ve already spent so much on tutoring, and my tutor wants me taking a prep test every week, which is starting to feel exhausting and unsustainable for me.

Now I’m debating whether I should invest in 7Sage, stick to the free resources for now, or just keep going with my tutor. I’m also really interested in study groups and accountability because I think consistency is my biggest struggle right now. The 7Sage package with accountability emails definitely caught my attention.

I haven’t lost hope but I’m also aiming for 160 -166 is this possible for me?

For anyone who’s used 7Sage or struggled with burnout, distractions, or discipline while working full time — what helped you? Any advice on realistic study plans, staying consistent, or avoiding burnout would mean a lot. I’m all ears, thank you!

I started really studying in March, and I just finished all of the lessons that 7Sage creates for you. My diagnostic was a 144 in January with no studying, and I am taking August. Do you think I should do a practice block drill first or should I take a test and see how much I have improved from just the lessons alone?

It’s hard because I have kind of a busy schedule. There was some weeks where I couldn’t study for multiple days at a time and some days where I did multiple days at once to try to balance it out. Doing the practice blocks I probably will not finish them all within the week like suggested. My goal is a 168+.

Any and all suggestions would be appreciated!

I plan to take the LSAT this September for the 2027 cycle. I started with a 138 diagnostics score about three weeks ago and i'm around a 145-150 right now. However, every time I sit down to study, I have no idea If i'm being effective with my time.

I will start drilling untimed for about thirty minutes to warm up, then move to a timed section where I review the answers I got wrong. This goes on for about two to three hours until I realize my brain is fried and i'm just reading words and not comprehending anything.

I was just wondering if anyone had any ideas to help make my time studying more efficient. Any advice is appreciated, Thanks (:

I scored 100% on BR and would always get all the questions I answered before the time elapsed. It appears that timing is my greatest challenge. How can I possibly overcome this challenge?

Saw an old posting that recorded sessions from live classes are in this link: https://classic.7sage.com/live-class-archive/ Anyone know if I can watch recorded live classes somewhere? If so, can you share the link?

Hello everyone!

I've recently started studying (about 2 weeks now) for the LSAT. I'm hoping to take it early next year so I wanted to get a head start during the summer.

I've been studying for about 2 to 4 hours a day with the comprehensive foundations lessons, but I've been falling behind recently. It's been difficult to keep up the consistent motivation because I found it to be quite a lot - already burnt out possibly (I hope not).

Are there any tips to maintain a good, motivated study schedule that can persist not only through the summer but throughout the academic year as well?

Thanks everyone!

I have found that a lot of the LR questions that I get wrong are the result of picking the wrong of two choices. I'm able to narrow the answer choices down to the two most popular choices, but I often end up picking the wrong of the two answers and then getting it right on the blind review. Any tips for picking the right answer when I have it narrowed down already?

I'm currently trying to review a RC passage for a PT I took, but I don't see the passage explanation being available? I saw it earlier somehow for a different passage, is there any way to access passage explanation specifically and not just question explanations?

Specifically the one I'm looking at is PT123.S4.P4

Currently just reached the end of the arguments module within my study plan and began the grammar portion. That said, I just did the adaptive drill mixed questions, and did good I suppose on my first run at it getting 3/5, however, I did it two more times and did absolutely horrible. I feel I'm having difficulties identifying Premise's and Conclusions. Either this or I'm not understanding what the question is asking me, I'm trying to best figure out what to do cause I feel like I'm stuck lol.

Should I attend a Office Hours session and ask my questions, even though I don't know what to exactly ask, or what should I do. Truly I'm looking for guidance as the foundations and maybe I missed this didn't really touch on the particular questions and how to dissect them.

Thanks,

Nikkolas

Hello! I am taking the June LSAT and received an email yesterday about the writing portion opening and how to access it. I have been told by many people to not do the writing portion until after taking the multiple choice exam. I know that LSAC won't release scores until the writing has been submitted. How long after the multiple choice exam window is the writing open for?

Hi everyone,

I have finished the Foundations curriculum and am halfway through the LR lessons. I was wondering if it is a good idea to alternate between the LR and RC curriculum, since I have not touched RC at all yet. Or is it better to finish LR first and then start RC?

I am extra concerned about RC because my diagnostic showed that it is my weakest area.

My plan is to write the exam in September.

Thanks in advance for any input or insight!

At this point I think the LSAT is just fake, y'all. My last PT taken on May 16 was a 169, and somehow today (literally ~10 days later?!) I got a 179. All I did was some aggressive drilling in between and I've been studying lackadaisically since August 2025, seriously since January 2026. On top of that, when I last sat for the real LSAT in April, I got a 166, which was a major disappointment relative to where I though I'd been based on my drilling. And in the weeks I've spent studying since, I'd never gotten a PT higher than my 173 plateau from January-March, until today. I guess miracles do come true ;-;

Hi everyone!

I’ve been studying on and off for the LSAT since early 2025, but now that I’ve graduated college, I started taking it more seriously in April of this year. I’m doing okay in LR. I’ve worked my way up to level 3 difficulty and have been getting those questions correct about 70% of the time, although I still have a lot of fluctuation.

So far, I’ve mainly focused on LR since it makes up the majority of the test. Should I keep focusing on LR until I feel more comfortable with it, or should I start incorporating RC now? Do you guys usually alternate sections day by day?

On one hand, I’m worried that if I start RC, I’ll lose momentum and focus with LR. But on the other hand, I’m afraid that if I wait until the end to practice RC, I won’t have enough time to improve and might lose some of my LR skills too.

Hoping to score at least a 160 by September or October. My last PT was a 151.

Hi! I just graduated from Cornell this past weekend, and I am scheduled to take the June LSAT next week. I originally signed up for the April LSAT, but life, school, clubs, work, and training (I was on the varsity rowing team) got in the way, and I didn't prep as much as I'd like. I thought I would have more time toward the end of the semester to chip away at my practice blocks, but I ended up falling further behind between final exams, travel for regattas, and graduation festivities. Now I'm home and I feel very far from prepared. I have time accommodations, so each test is roughly 4 hours long, so I haven't been able to complete as many PTs as I'd like, and frankly I haven't been able to crack 170 yet (iykyk lolll). I don't feel good about just taking the test next week to "get it done," seeing as there is somewhat of a limit to how many you should take, and they are expensive!! I already ate the cost of moving it once, and I know that financially it makes zero sense to move it again (at $150 a pop for the rescheduling fee), but somehow it feels better to shell out the cost than to go in and willingly do poorly. I've been studying since February, but somewhat on and off, so of course there is a slim chance I surprise myself and do well! But I am not optimistic. Would love to get some other perspectives on this! Could definitely use some guidance and thoughts (and maybe prayers too lol).

Hello. I a bit conused on the deadline for the argumentative writing portion of the LSAT. I am taking the LSAT in June and applying to a program with a deadline of July 1st. I know the writing portion opens 8 days before the LSAT so today, but can I take if after I take the LSAT or must it be before?

I practiced today but honestly I felt mind of exhausted. I'm so tired of waking up every morning and studying for the exam and today I was just sick of it so much that after taking a practice barely I reviewed anything. I was wondering whether I should take a break tomorrow just relax and try again on Thursday. I did take a break last Friday and Saturday so it's not like I'm working nonstop. Or should I try again tomorrow. I dont think I'm burning out but I'm just tired of it all

I promise, its possible guys. Months of pain and finally, we've broke through.
