I'm taking the exam with 100% extended time. Lately, when I complete a later LSAT test (PT140 or later) in individual sections, I've been getting -4 or -5, placing me closer to 166-167 equivalent. These sections were also timed. My RC is still relatively strong. But I have been dropping in LR. In fact, I ironically got a 156 on an exam where I scored my highest on a logical reasoning exam (-4), and it was NOT experimental. What am I doing wrong psychologically?

I started off with a 154 diagnostic when I first looked at the LSAT in July 2025, and then took it again with only a month of a studying and went up to 158 last December, and didn’t go up again until I took a month off and got a 161 on an April PT. I’ve been using 7Sage and have done 20 PTs and thousands of questions, and did a LSAT LR book. In June I got a 163 with barely any sleep, and I took September and got my highest ever PT score, a 164. On BR, I correct almost every question.

What do I do? I’m signed up for October and I want a 166, or even a 165. It’s the difference between two more questions right, but it’s driving me crazy.

Hi I am blind reviewing this PT and there is no explanations for the whole RC. At least, can I get explanations for questions 16 and 18, please? I got these two wrong on both regular and blind review. Thank you!

Does the 7Sage Podcast have an episode that helps decide when to take a break and possibly defer even when you’re near your goal score and have already registered for an exam?

For context, I’m extremely burnt out and making careless mistakes and therefore losing easy points. Average PT is 168 and I took the lsat august and september (158, 164 respectively). Goal score is 172. I’m also KJD.

Scheduled for october but highly considering withdrawing and rescheduling for February. I don’t want to waste a try

Hi guys.

After being approved for remote testing, and more hours than I'd like to count with technical issues, on the testing center's third attempt, I finished the LSAT yesterday.

I know in the future I'd love to write again, not because I did badly this time, but because I'd love to do so. I think it went very well, but that in the future when finances are different I would love to do it in a testing center for real, and I think I'd get a marginally better score. The tools I've gained from learning this test helped expose me to different types of writing, arts, science, things I wouldn't have seen before. I learned about conditional, causal and formal reasoning and I have learned a rhetorical discernment that I'll have for the rest of my life.

People don't know, but this has been the only community I've ever had, where my natural critical thinking has been a tool to be strengthened rather than seen as bad social skills or bad attitude. I know the logical reasoning sections were very good, likely near perfect, A few wrong on the reading comprehension but it definetely was strong. I can't help but feel like I'd like to take on the "LSAT level 2", I feel like it was over almost too quickly. To build the skill involving fluid intelligence rather than memory, to learn and grow without being held back by memory or the physical body has been an amazing experience. I feel like I'd want to learn to get beyond the basic sufficiency/necessity contrapositive, and kind of go on to the next level. However I'm realizing that in this area this test is the top of the line, other than like a phD in philosophy or something (which is useless). I want to do what's next, it felt like I was being illuminated upon as I learned some of the more complex contrortions of causal reasoning, I enjoyed waking up at night thinking and people around me joking I was having "revelations". I feel like someone who was a born athlete that got scouted and trained by the Olympics for a few months, and it went really well, and the door opened, but no matter how wide its open I'm 20 feet below, and I'll never reach.

All thats next is the bar, but I know my financial situation, disability related factors, and my location will make it unlikely to even be able to go to law school. it almost feels like I fear the best is over, not even just this, but the best of life, childhood, hope, curiosity. I want to see whats next though, and I'm sad to let this 7sage community go. I haven't felt smart in a long time. There's nerds here, like my type of nerdy.
