There's a lot written about how to answer the questions on the LSAT, and rightly so. But what about how to think about the LSAT?

For me, the difference between low 160s and mid/high 160s is sleep/stress, which I am sure affects a lot of people.

One thing I've noticed about high scorers is they seem quite relaxed. Some of this may be because they meet or exceed their own expectations. It may also be because of their natural temperament. However is there a psychology to the exam, a way of thinking about it, that helps some people stay in the pocket and perform at their best?

I've hear it said that high scorers think of it as game. But how do you think of it as a game when for some of us the stakes are so high? We could be talking about thousands of dollars, career trajectory, or whether or where one has to live for 3 years.

Anyway, I'd love to hear any ideas readers of this post may have, about any books or articles on the subject, or any struggles people may share.

Good luck everyone

Hi all,

I just did a practice section on PT23.S1. I'm trying to look up answer explanations, but apparently PT23.S1 was a logic games section and not LR. Where did 7Sage get these LR questions?

Any help's appreciated, thanks!

hi! I am realizing I have trouble identifying the main conclusion in reading passages, as simple as it is. I often highlight the statement (or statements) that jumps out in the passage as conclusion statements, yet when i get to the ACs i am often stuck between something that reflects those sentences exactly or something that is more all encompassing of the passage (ie will nod to an earlier paragraph or theme). do people recommend drilling "find the main conclusion" questions for RC passages? or drilling full passages with the complete set of questions?

or if there's a particular strategy to deep reviewing these questions? that would be super helpful, thank you.

I just started studying for the LSAT, and I am consistently getting (most) answers wrong from Q15 to Q25-26 on LR, one or two before Q15.

Does this mean anything? Does this mean I should study harder questions? Looking for outside opinions.

Could someone explain the analytics that come up when you complete a "You Try" or "Drill" section? What are the scores with benchmarks that say "180-scorers got 96% right" or "180-scorers got 0% right", dependent on? For example, it will say, "Closing the gap with your goal score will require getting 3.8 more questions correct per test in this tag," but it doesn't make sense because (1) I haven't taken a test yet, and (2) I have been self-tracking and have definitely gotten 4 correct in that section. I don't understand those analytics at all. Also, is there another section on the website that can show me this or anything about my performance so far?

I recently started prepping with 7sage last week and feel more confused from when i started. I am starting to see how lawgic helps but its simply too much for me to process at once. 6 different argument types or whatever + a million different words that dont mean what I have understood them to mean since I learned the english language, its too much (some meaning all specifically). Any advice on how to improve with lawgic?

Hi everyone! I’ve been working on some logical reasoning topics again, and it seems like AP questions are the ones that really challenge me. Does anyone have any tips or advice on how to better understand the stimulus and the answer choices? Thanks!

I've finished the reading comprehension curriculum and have always been under the impression that we should create the low-res summary in our head (which has been difficult for me but I'm trying to get better at it to save time). Is anyone writing them down and finding they have enough time to answer. I've been struggling with the timing the most on these RC questions, so wondered if you all had any strategies?

I took my first post-CC Preptest, and I'm pretty disappointed with the results.

It wasn't really about the score, but the amount of questions I missed in each section, specifically LR. It just feels like I haven't made any progress since taking my diagnostic, learning and finishing the CC, and now taking my first post-CC Preptest.

I did notice two things that I'd like to hear other folks' thoughts on.

1) I noticed that I reread the LR stimulus before ID'ing the Premises and Conclusion. First, I would read the question, and ID it. Second, I would read the stimulus once, then reread it again while highlighting the Premises and Conclusion. I think it's a really bad habit and would like to break it. Has anyone else had similar experiences? Any advice on breaking it? What can I do to take in the stimulus better on the first read?

2) I can feel myself rushing starting question 10. The first point gets worse when I'm rushing too. How do folks manage "rushing"? What can you do tell yourself not to rush? Or, how can you practice and drill to not rush?

Thank you!

Hello!!! I need help and hopefully my explanation makes sense. I just started heavily studying for the LSAT this month. I’m currently learning LR material, specifically how to identify flaws in arguments. The only problem now is that I often feel like I see MULTIPLE flaws within one argument in a question. Is this an incorrect way to think about the arguments? Does anyone have any advice for how to zero in on the one specific flaw we’re supposed to focus on in order to answer the question?

does anyone know what the bookmark tag on drilling questions at the top of the screen means?

Hi all - I've read posts on LinkedIn and Reddit (reliable sources, I know) about how some January test takers did not have a comparative passage in their RC section. Is this something that will be new going forward? Can 7Sage confirm?

How do you make the smartest possible use of your remaining time before the February LSAT? In this episode, Henry and Bailey break down what an effective final push really looks like and why pattern recognition, not brute-force drilling, is the key to making real gains late in the game. They talk about how to spot recurring structures in Logical Reasoning and Reading Comprehension, how to review in a way that actually builds intuition, and how to avoid common last-minute mistakes that waste time and energy. If you are locked in on the February test and want to study with intention instead of panic, this episode is for you.

hello, I was wondering if anyone knows if theres a way to get a written summary/notes of the core curriculum that is on & 7sage. Thank you

Hi, I just got a subscription through my LSAC fee waiver and have a few questions regarding my study plan. I plan to take my LSAT in June and have been self-studying for about a month so far. I started with LawHub's free video lessons and drill sets, and then did 7Sage's LR mini course on Youtube. I got a 158 on my diagnostic this past weekend. I notice that the 7Sage curriculum starts with videos and gets into practice later, but want to practice a bit every day if possible. If I do 5-15 questions each day in either LR or RC, will I mess up the practice plan that 7Sage has implemented in the later portion of my study plan? Is it even reasonable for me to practice throughout the foundations/theory part of the course? I am also a full time student with a job, so I'm trying to create a structured plan ASAP. Thanks!

Hi! Im currently having trouble with this question type. Even after going through the lesson plan on these questions, i'm having a bit of trouble. I keep getting less than half of the questions im doing right. Does anyone have a good approach when it comes to these questions. PLLLLLSSS HELLLP :))))

Hi everyone, does anyone have any helpful tips for closing the bridge between timed scores and BR scores?

I find that both the font size of the words and the size of the computer screen impacts my ability to read questions and passages. Last time I took the test I know they have a big monitor to use, but does anyone know if you can adjust the font size on the actual test?

Took pt 158 and scored 151. The idea of law school is still brand new to me and I have never studied before. Wondering if it is something I can improve significantly through studying and if 151 cold diagnostic is a good place to begin. Where has everyone else started at and improved to?

Hi everyone!

My name is Jackson, and I have a little bit of an unorthodox path.

I'm 27, and have worked in Corporate Finance for the last 5 years. For a multitude of reasons, I have committed to a career change, and am now studying for the LSAT, with plans to take the test in June, apply in the fall, and begin in Fall 2027.

I took a timed practice test with no prep prior to building out a study plan and scored a 165 (LR -7, RC -9). With that, 7Sage recommended 19 weeks of Just Practice, meaning no lessons, just answering/reviewing/analyzing questions. However, I am a little worried that I don't totally understand the underlying concepts and am getting by on intuition (e.g. Upon reviewing questions I got correct, I don't totally understand the underlying analysis/explanation).

Should I opt for an Accelerated path to ensure I have exposure to the fundamental concepts? Should I supplement that with PTs on the weekends during the Non-Practice phase for a hybrid approach? Or should I just go with the Just Practice approach?

Thank you for spending the time to read through this. Any and all feedback is appreciated!

January Test Taker Here. Without revealing anything about the content of the test, the advice I will give is make sure your conditionals are VERY good. Some of the hardest conditional problems I've seen on the Jan test, make sure your conditionals are sharp.

Hey everyone!!

I'm currently scoring a 147 on my practice tests (im working on it!!!). When I blind review my tests, I consistently score above 157. I think my main issue on the actual test is timing; I often get stuck between two answers, overthink the choices, and usually end up picking the wrong one.

Anyone have any advice on how to perform better on the first attempt or how to address timing issues?

Hi! I’m wondering whether, and to what extent, your speed improved over time on sections or practice tests. I am happy with my score, but right now I am taking double time on everything. Should I expect that over time, my score will stay the same while my time decreases?

Do you have any tips for getting faster?

Thank you so much for your help! :)

To begin, no matter what I do, unless the questions is super easy, I cannot identify what is necessary for a conclusion to be true. I've tried finding a stategy that works for me, but nothing is clicking.

Common suggestions that don't work and why:

Negation technique - Even if I negate something and say it's not true, when I look back at the stimulus the conclusion no longer seems wholeheartedly sound. But it ends up being wrong all the time. Even if I negate something, I cannot identify why it's necessary or not.

Must be True - I suck at MBT questions, but even those are easier than NA's. But again, for the same reason as above, I can't look at a question and identify what is necessary for the argument to be true.

Identify the Gap - Most of the time I ask myself, why does P-> C, which I know is used for Sufficent questions, but it's the only stategy that actually feels like a stategy. But I can't identify a gap or flaw in the logic, becuase 9/10 I'm wrong.

Is there any other stategy to tackling these questions than using the negation technique that could help me identify what is necessary for an argument to take place?

Hi guys,

So I'm signed up for feb exam and I don't think I know enough, I keep scoring 138-145. I don't know how to lock-in and do it, does anyone recommend a good study schedule? and like how can I attack questions. I'm so stressed and its not helping I need a 157-160 to get accepted into the only school I wanna apply to.
