So I took the August 2025 LSAT and did not score nearly as well as I wanted to, especially considering my score was lower than any PT I've done leading up to it. I took the rest of August off from doing anything LSAT related because I'll be honest I was drained and burnt out from spending my entire summer just studying for the test. I will be retaking the LSAT this November and I need advice on where to begin on restarting my studying journey. My goal score is a 160. Any tips or advice on where to pick back up with studying is greatly appreciated!!!

I got 164 on my first PT which took 8hours, 163 on my second PT which took 4.5 hours, and 160 on my third PT which took 3.5hours GAHHHHHHHHHHHH IM JUST GETTING FASTER AT GETTTING MORE WRONG ANSWERSSSSSSSSSSSSS but live laugh love, I'm going to cry in my bathroom

Hi! I was wondering if there’s a way to have my priorities by question tag include all of the questions I’ve taken instead of just my practice tests. It would be great if I could include all questions or all questions in the last month or something so I can see more directly what I should be trying to work on. It would also be great if you could set your target score and calculate where you’re under performing in relation to that as well.

If any of this is possible please let me know!

Having taken the LSAT in June I found that the test was more tricky than normal PTs. It was much more along the lines of PT 144. Has anyone else found PT 144 harder than others? Do you all have other PTs in mind that you would say are harder in your opinion? Trying to gain insight to study these PTs since I know the October test will be just as tricky.

I’ve been studying this test for a few months now and today I finally broke 161. After that I did another LR section and got -12!! Wayyyyy worse than I have been doing. Same thing happened last week, I was drilling all day and when I took a PT I scored worse than I have in months. Is this over practicing and mentally exhausting myself or am I getting lucky with my better scores? Driving me nuts. Any ideas? And has this happened to anyone else?

Hi everybody, I've been practicing the split approach and quite enjoy its methodology. However, I've also read elsewhere that LSAC is actively trying to create questions that stop this approach from being as effective. Can anybody weigh in on this (test takers) and if I should pivot to sequential?

Good luck and thanks!

I just scored a 175 on PT158.

I saw the post about this new feature and wanted to test it out. I feel pretty good about my LSAT progress so far, I have been working at it for a month or so and this is my fourth or fifth PrepTest I think. The main question/advice I am looking for is how to get past those level 5 difficulty questions? No matter how hard I try, they seem to be guaranteed wrong when I complete the test. Not struggling too much with the other difficulties though.

Hi. I just got back my score on the August LSAT and got a 156. This was my first test and I was PTing around 163-165 but after I took the test I knew I did worse than my PTs because my nerves and my anxiety got the best of me. At one point I couldn't even focus on the test and I was just reading the words on the screen without really understanding them. With this being said, should I cancel my score or is it fine if it is lower than I wanted and should keep it because hopefully I will improve on it on future tests? Would greatly appreciate any feedback

Hi everyone! I've been studying for about 8 months using both Blueprint and LSATDemon and been pt'ing around the mid-high 150s. I just got my August score back and severely underperformed and wanted to try this new platform to see if I can improve! My goal score is a 165 and I really want to use 7Sage to the most I can, so please let me know any tips or tricks you have with this platform. I want to get the most efficient use out of it to reach my goals.

I have a score hold for the August LSAT. I haven't been given any information from LSAC as to why and when I will receive my score? Does anyone have any experience with score holds and how long they take? I am registered for September and am worried I won't know my August score before the September test. They also can't move me to October.

Update: It is October 7, 2025, and my August LSAT is still on hold.

I sometimes get tripped up distinguishing between premises and background context. Sometimes I miss a premise because I think it’s just context, and other times I mistake context for a premise. Has anyone else struggled with this? If so, what strategies have helped you get better at telling the difference? I’ve already gone through the explanations in the core curriculum, and it's not really clicking - I’d really appreciate some fresh perspectives.

I am taking my LSAT in November and just recently began studying. I just started the CC and am only 50% through the foundations unit. I have also taken one untimed PT, on which I scored 161. I am aiming for a score of 165+. I feel like I have a decent grasp of LR and completed those sections quite close to the 35 min time limit, but took far longer on the RC. I believe I can increase my LR score significantly with limited studying and practice, but I know that RC will take significant work for me.

Considering my short time frame for preparation (during which I will also be taking a 16 credit semester), does anyone have advice on the best way to approach my study time? Do people recommend completing the CC, or focusing solely on practice tests? Should I spend time on un-timed PT's, or focus only on timed ones?

Thanks for the help!

Don't be shy, share your results!

Hey guys, I just took the August LSAT, and I'm planning on retaking in November. I wanted to know if there was any way I could review my answers on the August test, but I cant seem to find anything. If you've found a way to do it or just want to study together sometime please let me know

We've (re)launched the Explanations page, a favorite from classic 7Sage! This page allows you to easily navigate to the text or video explanation for any question from any PT.

Hi! I received a 161 on my first LSAT. I am trying to figure out if I should cancel my score. I have the whole year to study (applying to the 2026 cycle), and aim to get in the 170s. In the eyes of a T-14 school, is a 161 worse or better than a cancellation on my record?

Thanks for guidance!

Obviously when you get near to the test, you're also a little burnt out. I like the idea of tapering (taken from sports) as I scored my highest PT after going easier the week before. I tried to recreate this for another PT to test it out and my score decreased a little (granted I was also quite exhausted on that PT day).

Wondering if there are any taper recommendations so you feel prepped but fresh for actual test. Thanks!

Does anyone know if there is a way to hide the timer while taking a section or PT?

so likeeee help. I'm signed up for the sept lsat but I am just now revisiting my studying. I took a class from may-july and don't feel like i really improved. I got really discouraged and i'm just now getting back into studying. i'm nervous that i'm not going to do well on the lsat. i work a full time job and i'm not sure if taking it next week is smart... but i also don't want to wait too long that it will affect my likelihood of getting into a school. i have a high gpa but i really am struggling with this lsat stuff. i work a full-time job so i don't have much time for studying. any advice here????

Hi everyone!

I'm writing the October test and hoping for a 170+. I feel like I'm close but really need to improve my timed accuracy. For example, my two most recent PTs were 168 timed and 173 BR & 166 timed and 177 BR. If you've been in a similar position I'd love to hear how you improved!!

Thanks in advance :)

My first diagnostic was a 165, and after months of studying I'm still averaging 168. I've gotten a few PTs between 170-174, but I'm really consistently getting 168s. I feel so stuck! Is this just how it is when you're trying to get 170+? Do I just need to drill more of the question types I'm stuck on? More time on wrong answer journaling? What's been helping you the most?

Hello! I am feeling very down. I have been studying my butt off, doing so well on drills and today my PT dropped pretty significantly. I dont know why or how this could even happen! Im very mad at myself right now that I could let my PT score drop. I finally was feeling a bit confident and then I saw my raw score and gasped. Has this ever happened to anyone else? How do you bith recover from this and get better?

as the title says, there are wild inconsistencies between my sections and idk how to fix them. If i take a full timed pt, ill do ok on the first 2 sections (or even the first half of a section) but i'll bomb the rest. It all starts to feel like words on a page after this point. To put it in perspective, the ranges im talking about is from -6 to -16 in the same test.... (for both lr and rc). atp idk how to fix this my test is coming up in oct and i need to do something. like ill take 1 single section timed and get a -6-8 (ok for me) but ill take a pt and do ok on 1 or 2 sections but bomb the rest. also i should mention that im using accommodation timing and ive noticed that since starting accommodation timing my scores have dropped. plz help any advice is useful

For the last 5 PTS, I have been getting 167-172, but 177-179 on BR, simply because I eliminate down to two answers and pick the wrong one on the test, and the right one on BR. I'm only missing 4-5 star questions and timing isn't an issue. I'm not sure what to do, should I just pick the answer I don't like as much? Any advice is appreciated!

As I work through RC passages, I am constantly reminded of the importance of low res summaries. However, I've also noticed that my lower-quality low-res paragraph summaries can skew my interpretation of the following paragraph summaries and significantly distort my initial intuition for understanding the passage.

For example, in the third passage in the critic/debate style RC lesson module, I did not intuitively pick up on the second paragraph demonstrating the central idea that corporation responsibility is derived from individual responsibility. In fact, I actually thought it was author's voice giving some credibility to the economist/s perspective because they were making a distinction between the morality of individuals and the morality (or lack there of) innate to corporations. As a result, the third paragraphs discussion of CEO's relation to corporation was somewhat confusing to me as I tried to consider it within the wider text and main point of the passage.

My goal is to improve my low-res capture skills so that they assists my comprehension instead of misleading my perceptions in subsequent paragraphs. Does anyone have any tips for improving my low-res summaries? More importantly, does anyone have any tips for noticing when you're formulating a bad low-res summary in the moment so they can be quickly addressed and corrected?
