At what point should I start taking practice tests regularly? I'm currently on week 6 of studying, in the "theory" phase of my study plan. Thank you for any insight.
LSAT

Extremely frustrated! The LSAT has been a relatively long and stressful journey for me. My first 2 attempts I saw little improvement and scored in the mid 150s. But leading up to November, I was feeling great. My prep test range was 167-172! On test day, I felt fine not great. Nothing went especially wrong and I left the test feeling unsure but not like I melted down.
Got my score back and it was 159, just 2 points more than my last take and 8-13 points below my range. I clearly underperformed.
I’m now looking ahead to hopefully my last retake in January. Any advice on how to perform to my potential on test day? The biggest factor I can identify is taking it in person vs. replicating my PT experience remotely.
the following is from a flaw question on seven sage...
Theorist: To be capable of planned locomotion, an organism must be able both to form an internal representation of its environment and to send messages to its muscles to control movements. Such an organism must therefore have a central nervous system. Thus, an organism incapable of planned locomotion does not have a central nervous system.
Correct Answer
a
confuses a necessary condition for an organism's possessing a capacity with a sufficient one
My attempt to identify conditionals (May be False)
( Sufficient condition) be capable of planned locomotion. (Nessesary Condition indicated by must)
an organism must be able to both to form an internal representation of it's environment
and to send messages to its muscles to control movement.
but then what confuses me is what appears to be be another Necessary condition introduced in the subsequent sentence... "Such an organism must therefore have a central nervous system" again another must indicating what appears to be another Necessary condition. Then strangely the argument denys the antecedent aka the sufficient condition when it states " thus an organism incapable of planned locomotion, does not have a central nervous system.
I though confusing the sufficient and necessary condition is exactly like affirming the consequent
A>B
B
therefore A.
Logically valid structure
A>B
A
Therefore B..........
Hi all,
I got a 167 and am shooting for UCLA. GPA is a 3.74. Is it worth applying now with my score, or should I hold off and try to score higher in January even though it will be later in the cycle?
I scored a 169 on November. I'm thinking it had something to do with RC. I average a low 170. I want to take it up to the mid 170s. How do I do this for January. Please help :)
I’m considering taking the February LSAT. I’m not aiming for any T-14 schools and am mostly focused on HBCUs. Since I’m interested in Howard, should I take the February exam or wait for the next application cycle?
hey guys , i need advice/help. I am studying by myself no tutor, i did my first ever practice test end of August and got a 138 then the next test i did was in october which was 135 and then a week ago 133 and then on that last one i blind reviewed a 150. Today i took a practice test untimed and got a 139 and am going to wait a day to blind review. Is this a normal process for some? I also didnt get 7sage till a week ago and it has way more helpful tools then the book i was using. I notice when i take the test i get stuck with having 2-3 answer choices and on my blind review i would choose the other answer choice i was stuck between. How do i break the cycle of getting the right answer the first time? thanks
Any advice for weakening and strengthening questions? I am just plain stuck!!
Recent PTs: 65–71 range, BR ~175. My misses cluster in LR (causal + sampling flaws, occasional parallel flaw) and RC main point/inference when passages are dense. LG is -0/-1. If you had 14 days, how would you schedule:
Targeted drilling (question banks vs. PT sections)
Blind Review steps that actually move the needle (not just re-reading)
Error log categories you’ve found most predictive
Full PT frequency (how many in two weeks without burning out accuracy) Looking for concrete schedules (day-by-day or blocks) that worked for you.
If anyone has a concrete two-week plan that actually worked for them, I’d appreciate it. Also found this general legal-study resource helpful while thinking about test strategy.
Am i wrong in saying that logical reasoning, at large, is just reading comprehension in a slightly different format? Instead of synthesizing a text you are understanding/comprehending individual arguments.
Hello! Just was wondering if the new released disclosed PT (I think it's the April 2025/Feb 2014 exam) will be uploaded to 7Sage sometime soon? I would like to take this before the January exam, but I would prefer to take it on the computer! Thank you!

Bailey and Henry dive into what it means to “study like a tutor” and why adopting that perspective can make your prep more focused and consistent. They explain how tutors analyze mistakes, evaluate reasoning, and break down patterns, and they show you how to bring those same habits into your own LSAT work.
seems like a bunch of stuff that doesnt apply to 80 percent of the problems. when does it start getting useful. i feel like im wasting alot of hours on it
To those who have mastered conditional lawgic,
I am wondering what study methods you used to master this. Drilling questions is one thing, but what other methods did you use? Is there a quizlet out there that has all the indicators, translation rules, etc. that I can use? please let me know!
I just scored a 163 on PT139.
Just for some background, I decided to study for the LSAT about a month ago and I have just one chance to take it in January if I want to begin in the fall. I work full time and study when I can, but my job can be very demanding at times. I've taken a practice test every weekend for the past 4 weeks and have scored 164 3 times in a row, and a 163 just yesterday. My blind review is consistently high and I found it's because most of the questions I get wrong are the ones where I'm left between two options.
How can I improve to at least 170 before January 5th? The recorded lessons are great and all, but I've been having some difficulty learning the "lawgic" so I've just been doing all the questions in my head. Is there a better way to study? I feel like the tutoring sessions helped just a bit, but I'm not seeing any improvement.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
I am trying to figure out if this is a personal problem or if others agree with me. In the recorded lessons, when the stimulus is being read it is drawn out and everything is shortened. but when I try it on my own, while I'm reading it completely disrupts my reading process. I catch myself forgetting where I am at and instead focusing on abbreviations instead of what I am actually reading. so is this just a me problem? and does anyone have suggestions on how to fix this problem?
Not sure if this change happened to everyone, but the new format where the test window doesn't take up the entirety of the screen kinda sucks. Before it used to offer a lot more space, which was helpful for scanning the prompts and answers quicker. Anyone know how to change this back or is this a permanent update?
Hi all,
I am really frustrated with my results recently. I started off at 122 (I know it's a bad score) but I've been studying for the past few months and I'm only reached at 135. I'm trying to write the LSAT in February.
Do you think it's possible to get 160 in 2 months? I try to study at least 3 hours a day consistently and I do see improvement.
Does anyone else have other tips? Maybe different resources? I really want to get my score to 160 because most Canadian schools need 160.
