Hi all!

Just finished the Foundations & Logical Reasoning curriculum (woohoo).

I'm wondering if it's best to move straight onto the RC curriculum or start drills / PTs straight away to practice the LR sections more intensely? Or alternate between drills / PTs and RC?

Thanks :)

It seems to me that this question type in particular does not have much of a pattern as opposed to the classic flaws, which imo are easier to identify given their patterns.

For those who have no issues with the LF questions, how are you finding the patterns?

What are you looking for in the stimulus particularly given that every stim is kinda diff?

Thanks in advance!

Anyone else feel hopeless sometimes with theLSAT? I’m sitting at home for the holidays beating myself up for not studying and just constantly feeling worried that I won’t ever score good

Hey guys. I was wondering if anyone had tips on how to avoid trap answers!?!? I know we have the Live courses on how to avoid them, but i need more tips at this point. I often come down to two AC's and end up choosing the wrong one. From this PT section, I'm hopeful but also discouraged because I can't seem to pick the right answers on my real attempt. Only after I do Blind Review and see my OG answer was wrong can I actually choose the right answer. I'm taking the Jan LSAT and I really need to get my score up!! I'm scoring like a 147 and I know I can do better. But being under a time limit doesn't let me think about my AC as long as I would like too.

Hi guys,

It seems that my score is bleeding out because of RC and it's actually pretty hard. It is a lot of detail that needs to be memorized till all questions are done and one word can ruin it. Even some passages are so complex that are draining me. Anyone have any tips to score higher on RC? My analytics also shows critque debate are the worse ones right now.

Hi all! I started 7sage with a study plan 4 days ago. I am currently working on the foundations theory unit. Does anyone know when or have recommendations for when I should start taking practice tests? I have seen mixed opinions on whether to wait until I am done with theory or not. Is there a point where 7sage will start telling me to take practice tests? Please let me know what you think, what you have done, and what you recommend. Thank you!

I scored a 150 on my diagnostic in July, and since then, I’ve gradually improved to the 156–158 range. I’ve taken 12 full practice tests so far. One consistent issue is that I keep missing the same types of high-difficulty questions, especially Logical Reasoning questions in the final 10 of each section. What’s frustrating is that during Blind Review, I’m able to fix most of these mistakes. When I drill these specific question types, I see real improvement, but I struggle to apply what I’ve learned under timed conditions. That disconnect has been pretty discouraging. At the same time, I do feel like I’ve been learning a lot overall through drilling, maintaining a wrong-answer journal, and working regularly with my 7Sage tutor. I’ve been studying 1–2 hours a day, about five days a week, since September, and I think I expected to be closer to my goal score of 170 by now.

With only a few weeks left before the exam, I’d love advice on how to use this final stretch most effectively. I’m probably going to retake the test in February 2026 (just being realistic). Thanks in advance for any recommendations!

Hi everyone

I'm signed up for the January Lsat and I want to improve my score on each section by at least 2-3 points. Im averaging around -7 per section, with my best being -5 for LR and -6 for RC. Whenever I review my wrong answer I end up getting them all correct except maybe 1-2.

What is a good method to reduce the mistakes I'm making. I think part of the issue is time, I sometimes rush especially towards the end and make mistakes that I can easily see when I review and take my time with. However my method of initial thinking is still wrong and I'm open to any advice!

hi everyone, i’m an international student from india currently finishing undergrad and planning to apply for a US JD for fall 2027. i’ve recently started my LSAT preparation and would really appreciate some guidance on whether my timeline and overall approach make sense.

my current plan is to take the LSAT in april 2026 and again in june 2026 if needed. i’ve bought the powerscore bibles and just started using 7sage, and i’m trying to figure out the best way to structure my prep between those two resources from now until april.

a few things i’d really appreciate insight on:

1. how should i divide my time between the powerscore bibles and the 7sage curriculum?

2. if april doesn’t go as planned, is june a realistic backup for reaching my target score?

3. as an international applicant, what should my overall application timeline look like for fall 2027?

4. i’m also quite anxious about visa and post-JD employment issues in the US. recently a study abroad agency here told me that even strong candidates often struggle with visas for law school, which was pretty discouraging. how much should these concerns realistically factor into my school list and application strategy at this stage?

5. finally, in your honest opinion, is pursuing a US JD as an international student in the current climate actually worth the risk, or am i being unrealistic about the return on this investment of time and money?

i’d be especially grateful to hear from other international students who have gone through this process.

thank you so much for any advice.

I just took PREP Test 140. Scoring roughly -7 on the LR and -8 on the RC. What should I do now? Do I just start the core curriculum? Do I do drills? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I also plan to take it in April!

I have completed all the RC practice sections from test 120 and on. Are the previous tests similar to the current RC LSAT sections? Any suggestions for the best RC practice going forward are greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone,

Have you noticed if the RC passage times have some trend of number of question / passage time. There's usually 27 and maybe comp. is usually around 5 and law is 6 with science and huminites having the most? I'm just spitballing here. Anyone have any idea/ noticed any trends of what to expect?

Thanks

is it just me that does so well on drills but sees very little improvements on practice lsats?

almost on every drill that i do, i only get 1-2 wrong, or even get everything right, but when i take a practice lsat, i miss a lot more. i'm just wondering if anyone else is having the same problems, and what you did to improve.

Hi everyone,

I'm aiming for a 170 score and finding that my RC score will fluctuate from -0 to -4 / section and I'm trying to get that down/ or at least to something that is consistent

I'm wondering if anyone has had success in changing up the order of how they approach which passage first, second, third, fourth in RC

In LR the questions are automatically easy - hard (besides 18-25 which I usually do backwards once i hit 19)

For RC I've been doing humanities first, then law, then science, and then comparative - I can usually get all comparative right even if I only have 4-5 minutes, so I save it for last bc I know I can rush through it and still be able to guess right

What I've noticed though is I am scoring -2 or -3 on humanities passages even though I do in fact find those easier than law and science. I'm guessing that the reason is because I'm starting with it and I always do better as I go/ get into the zone/ and having easy --> hard in LR helps keep down the curve of error for me there (best LR section score so far: -1!!)

I'm wondering if people would suggest that I start with comparative and then humanities, then law then science? The problem is that I tried that yesterday and wound up not having enough time w science (prob bc I spent almost 7 minutes on comparative which is more than I usually give it -- and I needed those two minutes for science). I did get all the humanities right by doing it second (my order was: comp, humanities, law, science) but I feel like I sacrificed science points to get more humanities points.

I do think that having some strategy about the order in which I do passages could help and I'm curious if anyone has had similar thoughts/ experience could advise how it might be smarted to play around with this?

Thank you! Good luck studying!

I have been studying for months for the LSAT and took it in November, where I got a 143. Did not want to keep a score that low, so I am taking it again in January. I have been working with a tutor to help since November, and took a practice test today where I scored a 135. I don't know what I'm doing wrong or how I'm not improving

Hello everyone!

I'm taking my first LSAT Jan 10th and have been studying for months, but I can't get a grasp on timing.

When I PT without time, I average a very high score compared to when I PT with time.

I have always had test anxiety, which has gone away with being in uni. Unfortunately, with the LSAT, it seems to have come back.

My mind does not let me truly understand and read even the simplest of phrases, which has me get easy questions wrong, and run out of time on my RC.

Not sure what to do... has anyone had this issue, and what did you do??

Thanks!

hi! please see question above? ive been doing slow work-throughs of LR sections, reviewing the questions I get wrong thoroughly (or what i think is thorough--identifying why wrong ACs are wrong, why the rigjt one is right). ive started to incorporate time, yet i am still in the same place of usually getting -3 to -4 wrong. i know it doesnt feel drastically different, yet i have been at this plateau for the past 3/4 months. I don't want to believe that I can't get better!! is there something I'm missing?

i've done some drills based on identified weaknesses (strengthen/weaken/NA). but i don't feel as though there are types that I can identify as consistently missed.

For sufficient assumption questions I am a bit confused of whether or not we are allowed to use the contrapositives of the argument for the answer. For example if we have

A

B

the link we need to make is A->B but if one of the answers are /B->/A would that be the right answer choice?

I've been studying consistently for around 3 to 4 months now, primarily using the paid subscription to LawHub, and am just now starting to use 7Sage. When I have unlimited time taking shorter drills of around 12-14 questions, I am able to get 80-90%, if not all, questions correct. But if I do multiple drills in a row or take a full timed practice test, I find myself running out of stamina after only two sections or so.

Any tips on how to build the mental strength/stamina needed to stay focused and keep going with such a lengthy, draining test? I'm sure just biting the bullet and taking full practice tests more often would help, but I'm wondering if there are any other ways people have found to help train their brain for taking this kind of exam.

So I've taken the LSAT once before, and the law school I applied to made a no decision on my application, saying everything looks good, I should just bump my LSAT up a few points. I haven't done anything LSAT-related since April 2025. Do I go through the whole study plan since I have such a short time, or do I just focus on drills and practice questions?

Hey, I am planning to take the test on Jan 10 (remotely). I did receive the email from LSAC regarding when the scheduling will be open for Jan dates. But I am still confused, since it is my first time. My question is, to schedule it for the date mentioned above, does the scheduling start 22 or 23?

Hi! I plan on taking the LSAT in June and I am currently a junior in college. Besides taking one practice test blind for my diagnostic I am not really sure where to start because I honestly know nothing about the LSAT. I am one week into my study plan but when or how often should I be taking practice tests. I have done some practice problems but I feel like I am still very early in my study plan that I do not quite know how to attack the questions since I am still in the foundation and core part of the study plan. Any advice would be helpful! Thank you! I just do not want to fall behind :)

Hi, all! I have been using 7Sage for almost 2 months now. I started by following the study plan, but was quickly overwhelmed by the schedule because I couldn't figure out how to edit it to be 6 days a week, and I quickly fell behind. To combat this, I decided to do the curriculum at my own pace, which is about 1 hour a day/ 5 or 6 days a week. This was working until I realized the curriculum included lessons not in my study plan. This leads me to question the benefits of following the curriculum vs. the study plan. Am I shooting myself in the foot by not following the study plan? If I want to be ready for the June 2026 LSAT, should I be spending more time studying? If I follow the curriculum, should I be doing practice tests in between the modules? Mainly, what is the difference between the curriculum and the study plan?

In the study plan, it is recommended to add a note for my wrong answer journal. Although I understand what I got wrong and why I got it wrong in my head, I'm not exactly sure how to summarize the note. Can anyone share how you add your own note for wrong answers?
