Self-study
Hey guys, how do I differentiate "infer" vs "properly infer" in LR? I understood "infer" to mean Most Strongly Supported and "properly infer" to mean Must Be True. Am I right here?

I just wanted to say I was extremely worried when I first started studying (jan1) that I would not have enough time to get a good score come April, and granted I obviously haven't taken the real thing, but I went from a 148 diagnostic (jan1) to a 169 PT (today ehehe) and I'm over the moon. I just wanted to post this for non trad applicants. I am 24, a veteran, have three children 1,3, and 4. My 4 year old being non verbal and having level 3 autism, but I was still able to get to a place where Im comfortable with my score (thanks to my amazing husband). Idk I'm so happy and wish I could just tell my day one self that I was gonna be fine. Good luck April testers!
Our smart drills always targeted the question types you need to work on most. Now they also adjust to your skill level as you take them.
You'll also see a new "Adaptive" option when you customize your drill. We use it by default.
(You can also find the "Smart Drill" button on your dashboard).
And please tell us what you think!
I just scored a 162 on PT154. Any tips/best practices on going about reviewing PTs?
4 months late to @J.Y.Ping 's YouTube video on posting these to discussion form, but riding this high. It's the motivation I needed. Good things are happening in 2026. Wishing everyone good study vibes as we round out the end of the month!

Lydia spent two months studying 6 hours a day — core curriculum, live classes, drilling — and her score didn't budge. Alex explains why a flat score isn't a sign of failure, how to structure your study schedule at different stages of prep, and why blind review scores matter more than your PT score right now. If you're feeling stuck or discouraged, this one's for you.
I am wondering if what Kevin teaches in his RC lessons actually can be done fast. I know he addressed this in one of his videos, but right now, it feels like it will be impossible for me to read a passage while doing all of the steps (low-res, perspectives, predicting next paragraph & after passage steps) all under timed conditions. I would really love to get there, but I'm wondering if anyone out there (who isn't exceptionally gifted in reading to begin with) actually achieved all the steps under timed conditions. In short: is this even possible?
Thanks!!
hi! how do you handle fatigue, especially if you receive extra time? it gets harder to retain information and think due to brain fog! maybe tips when you find yourself succumbing to brain fog during the actual test and also what to do during the 10 min break!
Did anyone have an aha moment for these, I can't figure out how to differentiate main conclusion from the summary type ACs

Struggling with Reading Comprehension—even when you understand the passage? In this episode, @AlexJacobs breaks down one of the most frustrating RC problems: answer choices that all look the same.
If you’ve ever been stuck between two “jargony” answers or felt lost on inference questions, this is for you.
We cover:
1. Why understanding the passage is already most of the battle
2. How to attack confusing, abstract answer choices
3. The “disqualifier” method for eliminating wrong answers fast
4. What to do when you’re stuck between two nearly identical choices
5. How to approach inference questions with confidence
The big takeaway: your job isn’t to find the right answer—it’s to kill the wrong ones. If RC feels overwhelming, this episode will simplify your process and help you focus only on what actually matters.
Hi all,
Hope everyone is doing well :)
I'm just starting my LSAT journey with 7Sage and was wondering if anyone has a recommended study guide or work plan! {ie, Monday drill tests, Tuesday watch lectures, etc.}
Any advice, etc.
Thanks & best of luck to all
Happy studying !!
I'm moving on. I studied and improved my score. It was hard work. I got into my school. It's weird how I want to keep studying. I know I should take this opportunity to attend. I'm little conflicted because if I studied more and got higher score could apply for a reach school next year. But I think I should be happy as I worked hard. Good luck everyone.
I'm interested in hearing from people on how they go about doing their wrong answers journals. Do you find it helpful? Do you go back and read it? What's your process? I'm looking to start doing this after prep tests, but I want to know how to do it effectively. Thanks!
Hopefully what I'm saying makes sense
If I don't add any customizations when making a drill (just setting the question number, time, and show answers), are the questions selected still based on my analytics? Like, is 7Sage choosing some amount of NA questions, Weaken questions, etc., based on my data, or is it choosing random questions from the drill pool? I am asking because I want to drill with my worst question types, and I see the customize button that lets me do exactly that, but I am wondering if 7Sage does this automatically.
hi yall! im curious about things to keep in mind for the writing section
-how personal should we be? are anecdotes allowed, or should we try to stay professional?
-should we use pronouns like "I" or keep it academic?
-anything else you can think of
If I am writing an essay that will hopefully get me into a T-14, what is crucial to display in the essay?

A full-time teacher. Weekend studying. Mid-160s. A 171 goal. So… should you take the LSAT in June, or wait until August?
In this episode, we break down one of the most common (and misunderstood) decisions LSAT students face: timing your test. We explain why June vs August doesn’t actually affect your application timeline, when it does make sense to wait, and how an extra 2–3 months can impact both your score and your scholarships. If you’re balancing a busy schedule and wondering whether you’re “ready,” this episode is for you.
📌 Topics covered:
1. Does taking the LSAT earlier help admissions?
2. When to delay your test (and when not to)
3. Why more time = more points (usually)
4. How to structure studying with limited time
5. The smart way to plan multiple test attempts

I’ve been working through The Loophole by Ellen Cassidy, and it’s been extremely helpful so far. I’m hoping to find similar resources, but specifically geared toward Reading Comprehension—would love any recommendations.
Hello! I'm taking the April LSAT & it'll be my second time. When I took it back in January, I opted for In-person testing, but didn't get the score I wanted, and kind of attributed some of it to being in an unfamiliar location (obviously, needed more studying, but beyond that...)
Just wanted to see what everyone's experiences have been like taking it Remotely? I've heard some horror stories so wanted to get a wide variety of stories before I make my decision this week~
I just scored a 169 on PT159.
Diagnosed at a 149 in December and now is the time to prove that I can break 160. Hasn't happened yet but I am going to go all out these next 2 weeks and do my best. How are we all feeling? Nervous? Confident? What do y'all think?
We're holding a free small-group review session on Sunday at 3 p.m. ET in Study Room 2.
Take PrepTest 140 before the session. Then come and review it together with other 7Sagers.
The sessions will be student-led—no 7Sage staff will be in the meeting.
Independent tutors are welcome to participate.
PSA: If you show up first, please stick around. Your fellow 7Sagers will join you.
Hello Everyone,
I have been stuck in the 140s for a few months now, and I want some advice on how to improve. I took the January LSAT and scored a 144. I am going to apply for the September test, and I am aiming for a 170+. Can anyone who has ever had a big score increase please advise on what to do? I am looking to apply to enter the Fall 2027 cycle. For context, I have been taking a course on 7sage and have been reading the loophole as well since the beginning of the month.
When it comes to higher difficulty questions I have a tendency to narrow down to 2 answer choices, one of them being the correct answer. I also tend to second guess myself and change my answer due to lack of confidence. In sum, I just can't stop getting tricked up by these answer choices despite understanding the stimulus.
I've been seeing this glitch for the past couple of weeks now where, when I finish an RC drill, I review it, and hit the "do another drill" button. But the site just takes me back to the drill I just did to answer those questions again. It used to take me back to the page where I can start a new drill. Has this been happening for anyone else?

Scoring in the high 160s but stuck just short of the 170s? This episode breaks down one of the most common frustrations we hear: getting down to two answer choices… and picking the wrong one.
@AlexJacobs and @BaileyLuber explain why that pattern isn’t actually the problem—and what you should be focusing on instead. They walk through how to identify real weaknesses, how to stop talking yourself into wrong answers, and how to make better decisions under pressure on test day.
If you’re aiming to close that final gap into the 170s, this is the mindset shift you need.
