Can someone PLEASE give me an easier way to learn reasoning?? Link Assumption, Casual Reasoning, and Conditional Reasoning seem to be the only consistent thing that im getting wrong. Or is there a class that specifically targets reasoning??

I'm still in the Foundations section (a little over halfway through it). I thought I was improving my understanding of the formatting of these questions, but the last 4 LSAT test questions that have come up in the Foundations section, I've been completely lost and got all of them wrong because I got frustrated, couldn't map out the sentence structure and just guessed. Prior to studying, when I was taking test questions, I was averaging about 1/2 -3/4 correct, it just feels like I'm not making any progress and now I'm even backsliding. I take the test in February. Did this happen to anyone else? I'm wondering if it's because my brain is trying to understand the questions in a different way and it's just not there yet. Maybe it's the transition period? Looking for some advice. :(

I'm feeling beyond defeated with Reading Comp. I know we are not reading for detail, but I still feel like im missing connections that help answer the questions. I feel decent at understanding author's opinion, structure, and keeping low res summaries in mind. Any tips?

Hi everyone. I'm planning on taking the October test in a few days but I'm not getting past the mid 150s right now. I want to apply with at least a 160 but I'm not sure if that's achievable in a couple days. The problem is that I'm planning on applying this cycle and the next test I can register for is the January one. Last cycle, I took the January test and scored in the high 150s but wasn't accepted in an Ontario school. I'm wondering if the score was the main reason or if it was because my application was considered late because of the late LSAT. Are there considerably lower spots remaining to fill? Are they harsher on your application?

I'm now in the same predicament and can't decide whether I should opt out of this test and take it in January or just take my chances and see if I get accepted with the score I receive. I just don't want to ruin my chances again. Any advice would be appreciated (even if you're not applying in Canada). Thank you!

This is super last minute seeming as I have a couple hours to make the decision, if I only want to pay $45, but would score preview be worth it. I take the test tomorrow and I took a practice test and scored 156, ... this is my first time taking the test so regardless I would want to retake it, but would it be better to keep my score, assuming I do get a 156. Or if I retake it and score better would it not matter. I thought i decided against buying it but i think too much lol, any advice is helpful

I cannot seem to locate the jillion flagged questions I marked over the last few months. I can find the bookmarked ones, not the flagged ones. Any ideas?

What do you suggest when I am constantly getting 170s for Blind Review, but only 150s for actual runs for PTs. How should I plan my next steps for studying.

Hi everyone. I did the LSAT in September and got the results back. I want to know if I should keep or cancel the score.

I have only been studying since mid-July and wasn't expecting a high score considering I got a 136 in my first PT I ever did, and my last PT before the official exam was 147. I got a 147 in the official exam as well and planning to write the Nov LSAT again. My goal is 160(+).

Do you think I should keep the score or delete it? Does anyone know if the cancellation usually tends to have a negative effect on the application, or the schools look at the bright side and see improvement if I score higher in the Nov test?

I am also asking because I have only written the exam once, and the applications are due Nov 1. So is it better to have a low mark on file, or no mark at all before the application deadline?

I followed this video on 7sage: https://7sage.com/lessons/next-steps/how-to-practice-after-the-curriculum/how-to-blind-review-and-keep-a-wrong-answer-journal

When I open my preptest to review this section is missing, how do we access this section?

Ever wonder why your Blind Review score is so much higher than your actual timed takes? In this episode, Bailey and Henry dig into that frustrating gap and what it really reveals about your test-day performance. They break down why the discrepancy exists, how to diagnose the root causes (from pacing issues to second-guessing), and practical strategies to bring your timed scores closer to your BR potential. Whether you’re consistently a few points off or dealing with a double-digit gap, this conversation will help you turn Blind Review insights into real score gains.

Is it normal for your highest scoring section to be the experimental one, or is it just me? I seem to score way better on those sections nine times out of ten and am unsure as to why. Are those sections designed to be easier? Or, is there any other explanation I'm unaware of?

I'm really struggling with RC. My highest pt has been a 157, I average around -6 to -8 on LR but -8 to -14 on RC. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong since I follow the strategies outlined in the core curriculum. Even when I try to slow down and only attempt 3 passages in a section, my accuracy is still bad. Any advice would be appreciated since I'm taking the November lsat (aiming for at least a 160)!

hey everyone. I started studying a couple months ago going through the whole curriculum and now I'm just drilling until i take the lsat in approximately a month.

overall i feel pretty good about my RC and some of my LR. but when it comes to anything related to sufficiency necessary, contrapositives, lawgic, diagramming, etc. I feel absolutely hopeless and clueless.

For example, I did PT136.S4.Q20 recently and I got it wrong and when I went to check the correct answer and explanation, I felt so lost. There was nothing I could even write down in my wrong answer journal.

Figuring out what's sufficient what's necessary, taking the contrapositive correctly then diagramming and chaining together conditionals in the stimulus and then doing so for each answer choice. It seems like something I could never do. I just don't even know where to start.

not only does missing these questions and not being able to understand them conceptually hurt my confidence with LR, I feel like its affecting my performance elsewhere. It's massively damaged my confidence in my ability to score well on the LSAT as whole.

I've looked online for resources and help, but every time someone tries to explain these concepts they do it in the easiest way possible that I feel doesn't carry over to the LSAT.

Yes, I am capable of understanding that being a dog is sufficient to being a mammal, and being a mammal is necessary for being a dog. But it's never that simple in an actual question on the LSAT.

i guess my point with this post, besides just venting, is to ask what resources have you found helped you in understanding formal logic, as it relates to questions on the LSAT?

guyssss my test is on saturday >> what would you recommend is the best way to really lock in and get a good preparation (ideally other than just taking a thousand PTs bc i feel like those tire you out more than really help). anyone have any good encouragement and study schedule for this last week thank youuu <3

Hey, quick question for anyone who studies 4–6 hrs a day for the LSAT. I have the time to do that, but I’m not sure what people are actually doing for so long. A timed section is only 35 min, and review doesn’t take me that much longer. Do you just drill questions for hours? Take a full test every day?

If anyone can share a breakdown of what their study schedule looks like for that many hours, I’d love to see it.

When should I be doing the lessons vs the drills and Pts?

Just wanted to drop some encouragement here before cancelling my subscription because I finally achieved my goal score! If studying has ever (or chronically) made you feel hopeless, stressed, incapable, sad, etc. I promise you that I have been there. I went from a 152 diagnostic (my lowest PT ever was a 145) to a 164, 161, and 166 official score(s). Choosing to recommit after a decrease is mentally tough, but I promise you that I wouldn’t trade my 164 and my 161 for anything—they got me to my 166! Only you know what you are capable of. My score is the perfect score for me, but it may be considered “low” for someone else or “high” for the person next to them. This is your path and your experience—my biggest piece of advice is to do you, if you have faith in anything or something lean on that, and please work hard. This test will teach you how to better trust yourself, become mentally stronger, block out what others are saying (good and bad), and how to have some heart, discipline, and commitment. I’m cheering for you and I hope you can remember to take some time to cheer for yourself. 💖

Does anyone have any advice for stamina? I do way better on drills than I do on full PT's because my brain turns to mush. I'm getting 3-4 more questions wrong on practice tests than when I do individual sections!

Help! I keep narrowing it down to two answers: the right one and one wrong and picking the wrong. What am I missing that can help me get out of this cycle? Any and all tips/advice appreciated.

Also taking the November LSAT & looking for a study buddy!

Is anyone else seeing a large fluction in scores?? I took a practice test two days ago and got a 160. I finished one today and got a 148. What is that about??

My score came out as 168 (92nd Percentile), with a score band of 164-172. Pretty happy with the results!

does 7sage give you harder questions on drills if you're improving or is it totally random

I've been studying the LSAT for almost a year and I have most of the concepts down. But every practice test I take, I find that I make stupid mistakes because I missed a key term in the stimulus or answer choice, and I choose a wrong answer that I wouldn't have chosen if I just caught it. But it keeps happening and when it does, the only advice I can think of is "read better", which isn't really helpful. Any advice on catching key words and reducing mistakes?

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

I had been studying for the September LSAT for the past few months and was scoring fairly consistently the three weeks leading up to it in the 170-175 range, but after getting scores back today, I had little improvement from my prior LSAT score taken earlier in 2025 and was not at that level.

At the end of the day, it just means that I need to study more and harder and maybe not rush the process. However, what is hard to get over is how discouraging it is. I am worried that even if I get my ideal, higher score on the next go, it will be like a smear to have the low scores on my record. I have score cancel and can do so, but I've a few days to decide. I cancelled my score from earlier this year as context for that.

I am looking to apply next cycle early and therefore have some time. Anyone else in a similar boat/has been in a similar boat? Any thoughts?
