Good Afternoon,

As I have begun my journey with studying for the LSAT, I currently am in the foundations of my study plan. I simply would like to ask, should I begin joining Live/Recorded classes, or would this be to early. I find myself being able to identify premises/conclusions, but find difficulty in the stimulus and how to exactly choose the correct answer.

For background I have just reached the context section.

Thanks,

Nikk

This is probably me being totally unreasonable, but what are the chances that LSAC intentionally makes the June 2026 LSAT harder since it is the last LSAT being administered virtually and record number of people are estimated to take the June test? Am legit scared that they might up the difficulty for curving purposes, etc.

Good morning everybody,

Very excited to join the 7Sage community as an independent tutor. I’ve already noticed a lot of discussion around reading comprehension and RC strategy on the board, so I thought I’d share one of the biggest mindset shifts that tends to help students improve RC performance.

A lot of students approach RC as if they need to focus on everything in the passage equally. In reality, strong RC is usually much more about reading for the Big Picture.

What does that mean?

Primarily, it means identifying the author’s thesis and the major supporting reasons that develop that thesis. That’s the backbone of comprehension. Once you can consistently see that structure, the passage starts to feel much more organized, predictable, and manageable.

But importantly, reading for the big picture does not mean skipping details or vaguely skimming. You still read every sentence carefully. The difference is the level of focus given to each sentence based on its role within the larger structure of the passage.

That approach helps create the “one read” we’re ultimately looking for: a read that gives us the Big Picture while also preparing us to efficiently return to the passage for more specific questions.

Part of this is mindset, and part of it is technique. Like most LSAT skills, it becomes more natural with structured practice and repetition.

Happy to discuss further or answer questions if anybody wants to talk RC.

Hey guys!! What are some lessons and recordings that can help with Phenom - Hypothesis?

That one was… wow. Did my average on the LR, about-2, but that RC kicked my ass. I normally do pretty well on RC, but that one had me begging for mercy.

I have consistently gotten 6-9 questions wrong on my first attempt, but on Blind Review, I get 5-0, which is right where I would like to be! The blind review assures me that I can get to that sweet spot for my preferred score, but im having a hard time closing this gap!

I actively teach myself what I did wrong in my wrong-answer journal and review with intention. How can I close this gap? I'm I crazy for thinking that my BR score is actually possible??

Also wondering if i should hire a tutor to help me with this skill? recs or opinions??

Thanks #help

I just scored a 177 on PT121.

I took practice tests 79 and 80 early on into my studying so as to avoid burning through the more recent tests before I felt ready. I'm now starting to work my way through the more recent tests in preparation for my sitting in June. I was pretty disappointed to find out that Test 79 was identical to Test 148 (at least as far as I got into it), and then the same thing happened between Test 80 and Test 149 (admittedly, I didn't make it as far into this test). And then earlier today, I randomly took Test 26 because I wanted more practice, only to find that one of the RC passages was identical to one that I had just taken from Test 103.

I'm not exactly sure how this whole thing works, but it's inconvenient to keep running into repeats when I'm trying to simulate test conditions. Can someone explain whether there's any method to this madness and whether there's anything I can do to avoid double-dipping?

For LSAT Logical Reasoning, is there any answer choice letter (A/B/C/D/E) that appears slightly more often on released tests? If I run out of time and need to blind guess on 1–2 questions, is there a statistically better letter to use, or is that basically a myth? My RC Powerscore book says D for RC and I saw someone say B/D for 1-20 and then the last 5-6 E for LR, but that info was years ago

Hi Everyone, I am desperate for advice, tips or tricks, or words of encouragement, for how to get QUICKER at the test. I have been studying for over 3 months now, and I feel like I understand the questions/question types. I am just slow. Sometimes I have to reread a stimulus a couple times to fully understand it. Or I am not 100% confident on an answer so I look through the other options a little longer. My biggest obstacle currently is my speed (or lack thereof). It is veryyyy rare for me to answer a question at target time and EVEN RARER to answer under target time.

Looking forward to responses! Thanks yall!

Lately, during practice, I have noticed that I keep getting flaw questions wrong but I cannot identify exactly why. Every time I look at the ACs, I can think of a reason why a few of them could be the answer and struggle in choosing the best AC. Anyone struggling with this too and have any tips?

Hi everyone!

I’ll be hosting a free LR study group tonight at 7:30 PM EST. I’ll be covering one of the most effective techniques for eliminating trap answers on Parallel and Parallel Flaw questions.

Full transparency: I am an LSAT tutor, but this session is completely free, open to anyone, and there are no expectations attached.

Feel free to join if you can, hope to see you there!

hi guys! i'm taking the june LSAT in exactly two weeks from this day. i've been getting in the 176-177 range for the past four tests, and even got a 180 recently. however, i didn't study for two weeks and got a 174. i know also it's common to drop a few points on the actual test due to nerves. should i be too worried??? i don't want to torture myself with only two weeks left but i'm also disappointed in the drop. eep!!!

(i know, objectively, these are good scores, but i have a C&F statement and really need a full-ride, and want to get into a t14 school).

Hi! I've been stuck in the mid 160s and I know how important it is to take time and review wrong answers. I just don't feel like I have enough time with drilling included. Would it be productive to take a week to just go through questions I've flagged? Or maybe take one day each week just for review?

I am currently scoring -6 on my LR sections. I am guaranteed incorrectly answering level 4 and 5 questions. I aced 1,2,3 level questions, but as soon as a level 4 or 5 question gets thrown in the mix, I get it wrong. It doesn't matter question type, ie Conditional Reasons, Causal Reasoning, Main Conclusion etc...If it is a level 4 or 5 I will get it wrong. Looking for strategies to use the improve and make a jump from getting all level 4 or 5 wrong to getting down to -3 on LR.

I'm finding the answer choice tag floating dialog box pop-up explainer describer things very helpful as I review my wrong answers. Example: Illusory Inconsistency! It's wonderful having a clear title for the AC type that keeps seducing me lol. But when I tried to click "learn more" https://7sage.com/lsat-resources/cheatsheet/lr-answer-choice#illusory-inconsistency it looks like the page is broken? Is this still a work in progress? Is there a page where we can view all of the AC type tags?

Hello everyone, I was wondering how to go about improving my sudden drop in accuracy. My drills have been constantly improving in the past couple months. I was going from -0 to -4 out of 10 on drills. (I usually do 5 to 15 question per drills) Then these past few weeks I've noticed a significant drop, and it culminated today when I did a drill and I got a whopping -9 out of 10. The past few weeks I've noticed that suddenly when I'm drilling I'm usually going -5 to -8 out of 10 (per drill). It's getting to me.

I was wondering if some people here have experienced this kind of slide, or maybe it's something else that I'm doing or not doing. I feel frustrated that I am not improving at all.

I hope this doesn't come off as a pity party to other people, but I am hoping for some tips that helped you along the way.

Hi! This is my second time going through the LSAT, and I realized one of my biggest issues on the RC is that when I read through, even if I highlight or take notes, I don't grasp the information and have to waste time by going back into the passage while answering questions. I find that I am subconsciously substituting note-taking for understanding, and even though I can summarize the main points into a quick note, that understanding does not get engrained into my head and I find myself needing to go back into the passage to answer the questions, thus wasting time. Furthermore, the act of note-taking itself wastes time, so I am not sure what the best approach is to efficiently read through the passage without having to go back into the passage to answer most/every question.

I would really appreciate any advice!

Hey everyone, I’m new to 7Sage but I’ve been studying for a few months now. RC has definitely been my weak spot so far. Please drop your best tips, tricks, or mindset shifts for reading comprehension. I want to hear the things that actually made it finally click for you. I’m open to anything at this point. Especially anything that helped you understand passages better without rereading everything over and over.

I just scheduled my in-person test date and time for June. I'm feeling very nervous and jittery as always, and I've booked off 4 days from work before my test so I can mentally prepare myself and also complete the argumentative writing portion. Anyone have any advice on how I should spend my time those last few days before the test? Any experience with in-person testing centres (ontario based)? Is it a good idea for me to do the argumentative writing portion that close to my test day?

D. Some readers are not law students

I tend to always miss 1-3 questions within the first 15 questions of a section, and always get the rest (harder ones) correct. No idea why, I really want to fix this so I can ace all!!!

I just took another PT after my benchmark. Between the times, I have only finished the foundations section of the course and have done minimal drilling. I studied my wrong answers for my benchmark exam too before taking this exam. I saw a ZERO score raise after taking this 2nd PT. Is this common or is this a sign that I have been studying wrong?

Would love to know if anyone else has had a similar experience or if this is common. Any tips or suggestions would really help.

Is anyone taking the LSAT in June in Chicago? If so, are you familiar with the proctoring location? Looks like it's in an office building. Does anyone have any experience testing there? Tried to look up more information, but did not really see much about the whole process in that specific building. Also, there were 3 different centers listed for Chicago in the same building at the same time... I just picked a random one that had my preferred date, but I don't know if one section is more preferred than the others. Let me know about your experiences!

A couple weeks ago I felt was stagnate but now I generally feel like I'm improving. I got my highest score ever on PT 154 ( a 157)and I'm so much closer to my dream score. I took a practice RC passage from PT 148 after feeling stressed out about RC and I felt more confident than ever took a RC passage and my timing was a lot better. Usually I don't finish a lot of questions and guess but I only guessed at one without looking at the answer.
