I'm registered for the June 2026 LSAT (June 5th), which means that the Argumentative Writing should be available to complete by now. I managed to login to ProctorU, download the browser and all that, successfully. The only problem is that the website won't let me register for a new exam to be able to actually complete the Argumentative Writing. Did anyone else have this problem, and if so, how did you figure it out?

I am so bad at these. I am good at LR except for flaw and one other question type. I just can't figure it out. Sometimes I'll find a gap but it isn't the right one. Other times the answer choices are too subtle or I find multiple ones correct. Sometimes I don't see how the answer is really a flaw. I need a way to reframe these/think about them correctly.

Hi guys! I'm taking the June LSAT at the end of this week. I'm just posting to ask if anybody has any burnout-related info or advice.

For some context, I've been studying consistently for about two months now. I haven't really found myself struggling prior to this week. During the second week of May, I took two practice exams and scored a 161 and 162. During the third week of May, I took one practice exam with double time to focus on accuracy and scored a 166, which is my best so far.

Last week, I started working a full-time internship (five days a week, 9am-5pm, plus three hours of commuting because of traffic🥲). My score immediately decreased and I got two 156s. I've had a really hard time focusing on studying each night and I've been feeling somewhat more rushed with the time constraints than normal. I also have ADHD and testing anxiety so thats probably not helping this situation lol. Could this sudden score decrease be from work-related burnout, and has anybody else experienced anything similar? I was planning to take off work the day before my exam to recharge, but now I'm worried that won't be enough to reset my brain. I'm just not totally sure what to do here. Thank you and good luck to everyone testing this week!!

Dear everyone,

Just a quick question. If we have a A correlates with B and then a A causes B type of argument as a weakening stimulus, can we weaken the argument by showing that a new factor C causes B? or does the AC HAVE to touch on both A and B? I am getting super confused with this concept all of a sudden so any kind of help would be greatly greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Fresh PrepTest

I haven't taken any of the PrepTests available on 7Sage yet. Yet, I only have 14 100% fresh ptests left. The rest are all 98% fresh or less. I understand 7Sage uses a bunch of tests for drills and sections, but the algorithm has been giving me questions even out of PrepTests that are explicitly listed as available to take as tests on 7Sage. I've only been using this site for under a month and again, have taken zero of the PrepTests available on 7sage. I'm honestly pretty upset that my preptest bank has been depleted to this level already. How can I preserve the only 14 fresh tests I still have?

According to the AI Coach’s analysis of my most recent PrepTests, there is no longer a specific question type pattern that can be found across my wrong answers — for the most part (and with the exception of an unusually bad test I took while distracted and sick), the questions I am getting wrong are the three to four level 4-5 questions on each test.

When I review those questions, I am generally able to understand both where I reasoned incorrectly and why the correct answer is correct, so I am not incapable of understanding them; however, I often make small mistakes parsing these questions and the possible answers when under time pressure. I think I could benefit from specifically drilling these harder questions to build both accuracy and speed in interpreting them.

Is there a way to drill by difficulty and not by question type?

Hi 7Sage community! I had a quick question about the new LSAT interface that has now been confirmed for adoption starting in August. I realized while practicing with the new interface on 7Sage that in RC, the new interface no longer highlights the portion of the text that the question stem refers to. This is especially confusing and time-consuming when questions ask us to identify multiple sentences (e.g., how does the second sentence of the first paragraph relate to the third and fourth sentences of the third paragraph?). Does anyone know whether the highlight feature will disappear on the official test as well? :/

When would you guys advise to take the last exam before Friday? I took one yesterday, but I want to see if I can crank out one more this week. Do you think it might be too close to the exam to take an entire PT on Wednesday?

First PT Vs Real score

I took my first full length Practice test today and got a 160. My goal is 167-168 by the August LSAT. I was wondering if anyone else could share how much they improved in a 2 month window. Is it doable to get those 7-8 points in 2 months. I’m just curious about other people and their scores. Thank you.

What does it mean

When you've studied for YEARS (on and off) and get sub-par, mediocre timed PT scores (153 being the highest) but blind review in the mid-high 160's-177?

Words can't even begin to describe how demoralizing and unmotivating this is...

So I just took a practice test and I looked at my results just to see my score, I was planning on doing a blind review on missed questions but I can't find where to start a blind review, is it unavailable because I looked at my score or am I missing Something?

Hello I made an lsat study group on groupme where we can help each other out , ask questions , give each support and tutor each other. This is good way to study for the lsat because we can learn from each other so we can get the best possible score . The more the merrier . This is a good and free way to receive extra help .

Hi! This June LSAT will be my first time taking the test. I am wondering what people recommend doing the week before the test? I have consistently been taking two full practice tests a week and drilling throughout the week. Currently, I am scoring where I would like to be.

For those who have taken it before or have more knowledge on this, what would you recommend doing to feel best on test day? I do not want to burn myself out before the test, but I definitely do not want to lose any progress I have made.

Any recommendations would be super appreciated!!

Hi all,

Any advice on how to get faster especially with RC, I find that I am getting the answers I can get through correct but I always run out of time right before the 4th passage. What has helped people? Also any advice for going faster in LR would also be appreciated!

Warmups before PTs

Hello! Hope everyone is doing well. I just wanted to get insights on how to warm up before taking a timed PT. Do you guys do a RC passage or a couple of LR questions? If I go directly to the PT, I feel like I can't really "click" until the end of the 1st section.

Any recommendations are appreciated!

Happy studies 😊

Hi all! If I remember correctly, I thought there were summaries of all LR and RC question types, their prevalence, what to look for in right/wrong answers, etc. I can't seem to find them. Does anyone know where I might find these? Thank you and happy studying!

143 Diagnostic to this.

This is still a very good score for me, but the fact that just a few months of consistent studying can basically guarantee you a score in the mid 150's, thus granting you entry into a decent law school... Let's just say if you told me this was possible when I was starting out I wouldn't have believed you. So to all the self-doubters, to all the ones who took a gap year because they kept questioning if they were really cut out for this or not, I remind you not to give up, your future self will thank you.

Hello everyone, I hope your studies are going well! I have been consistently PTing at a 168 average recently, and I just know I have the potential to hit a 170+. My BR proves this. I noticed that there are questions that I will get wrong on LR, but during BR, I'll immediately choose the right answer, even going as far as thinking that the answer is obvious. I don't know how it flies over my head during the actual test, and this happens for at least 3 questions every exam. Those 3 questions could push me to the 170s. Sometimes these questions are flagged and sometimes they're not. Regardless, somehow I'll totally miss the obviousness of the right answer. I've been trying to focus more on that mistake but I'm not getting anywhere. Does anyone have advice?

😖 Frustrated

Getting Worse???

Hi everyone, I hope your studies are going well! I have been studying since December and I always felt like things were never really improving for me understanding wise. For example, I will watch an explanation video and completely understand what I did wrong and what I was supposed to do but then when I go to apply it on a similar question I always seem to be getting it wrong anyway. Over time I started noticing that its not that I simply wasn't improving but I was actively getting worse. For context, I recently finished the LR module and now I'm wondering if I should move straight on to the RC module or keep practicing LR until I have that down, then move on to RC. My diagnostic was a 140 so not too great. I'll be drilling LR questions and I will sometimes get level one or two questions wrong and oftentimes at the end it'll say my preptest equivalent is in the 130 somethings meaning I'm getting worse despite practice. I plan on taking the test in September with a goal of at least 155 so I do believe I have enough time to get there. Is this a normal thing to be happening or should I be worried about this apparent decrease in my scores. If this is something I should be worried about, what are some things I can do about it? Also, should I keep working on LR before moving on to RC or should I just move on to RC now? Any advice is appreciated and if you need me to elaborate more on anything, please let me know!

Hi! I find that the process of elimination helps me a lot to narrow down answer choices when I am struggling with a question. However, I have been drilling flaw questions and can't seem to figure out how to decide between the last two answers I have narrowed it down to. To me, the differences between the answer choices are both so minute, and somehow I always end up choosing the wrong one. I just know I am SOOO close to getting the right answer and would love some help to get there.

Please let me know if you guys have any good strategies for breaking the ties and approaching flaw questions!!!!

Hello , I am new to lsat studying . I'm am terribly struggling with to find the gap of why the premises doesn't lead to the conclusion. It's hard to come up with a bunch of reasons as to why it doesn't lead to the conclusion . If I do come up with a gap it doesn't match the answer choices.

Anybody else struggling? What are some ways I can come up with different reasons why the premises doesn't lead to the conclusion faster and more accurate?

Also , is finding the missing gap useful for only strengthen , weaken , flaw , sufficient assumptions etc?

Hi!

I'm wondering if there is a cheat sheet that exists to help coin what language indicates a specific task.

For example: "properly inferred" = Must Be True

I understand that for a lot of question stems there's more obvious wording (i.e. Which ... must be true = must be true) but I'm just curious if something like this exists and can be shared for the examples that aren't so readily apparent.

I have a cheat sheet with each question type and their approaches and would LOVE to be able to add this info to each.

Thank you!
