Hi there! I’ve been studying with 7Sage for the LSAT since the beginning of September (prior to that I read a prep book for a month) with an initial diagnostic of 160. Since then, my altogether score hasn’t improved and is often lower than my diagnostic, hovering in the high 150s. If I slow down and take my time, I get more answers right, but miss answering the last few questions. I speed up and answer all questions, my accuracy tanks to bring me right back to where I was. In terms of study habits, I study for about 30 min-2 hours a day every day depending on availability, doing a mix of untimed drills, timed sections, and the occasional PT. I tried using the targeted drills, but to be honest the answers I miss are so random that there really isn’t a pattern of concepts I am continually getting dinged on so it didn’t help much. I mostly miss Level 4 and 5 questions, but I occasionally (frustratingly!) miss a Level 3 or even 2. So basically, my question is this: is it normal to have not improved at all (even gotten marginally worse) in 2 months? Do I need to be doing something different? Do I need to be studying differently? For those who were stuck in the high 150’s and low 160’s, what got you out of your plateau? Did you get a tutor or change your study routine? I’d love to hear. I’m planning on taking the LSAT in January. Thanks!

Hi all. How do you work causal reasoning? I understand the flaws and whatnot for the most part (ommited options, such as no relationship, new factor, backwards casuation, etc). but for those good at it, what's your process like? how do you reconize a CR question and go from there? Thanks.

Hi everyone,

I’m currently signed up for the November LSAT, but I’ve been feeling really stuck and could use some advice. My practice test scores are still in the 140s, and even though I’ve been studying consistently, I’m not seeing the improvement I was hoping for. I’m aiming for at least a 157, but right now that feels out of reach.

I’ve been using 7Sage to go through the core curriculum and drilling with LSAT Demon (Basic plan), mostly focusing on Logical Reasoning and some Reading Comprehension. But honestly, I’m not sure I really know how to study. I watch the videos, do drills, and review my answers — but I don’t feel like I’m learning how to avoid the same mistakes or actually build better habits.

Reading Comprehension is by far my worst section. I feel like I’m always running out of time or just completely missing the structure and purpose of the passages. Logical Reasoning is a bit better, but I’m still not where I want to be.

I’m thinking about upgrading my Demon plan in October to get access to live classes and more targeted help, but I’m also wondering if I need to change how I’m approaching my studying in general.

If anyone has broken out of the 140s — especially using Demon or 7Sage — I’d really appreciate hearing what worked for you. How did you improve your Reading Comp? How did you review in a way that actually led to progress?

Thanks in advance — I really want to make this happen, but I know I need to work smarter if I’m going to reach my goal by November.

Hello! For anyone who has taken the actual test, how much different is it compared to the PTs? I know the PTs are past exams, but I saw an earlier post saying that the test was not representative of the PTs and that made me freak out. In terms of difficulty how was it in comparison?

I took the October LSAT and I am signed up to take the November one as well. I felt as though the LR sections were majority hard questions and maybe had only one or two low hanging fruit questions. I was scoring very well on practice tests, but once I took the actual test I did not feel like the PT's were anywhere near representative of the actual test. I am not sure if I should spend this time studying mostly the "Harder" and "Hardest" questions or if my experience was mostly test anxiety. Is there any harm to just drilling the more difficult questions?

I’ve just started drilling after finishing the Core Curriculum and Foundations about a month ago. Right now, I’m focusing on Logical Reasoning, doing around 4–5 sets of three questions each. My accuracy is about 51%, and my Blind Review accuracy is around 72%. This is after just two days (about 40 questions total).

I know it’s hard to say for sure, but does that seem like a good sign? Am I on track? My goal for January is roughly a 155–158. Not sure if I should be encouraged or discouraged, lol.

Dentist: Five recently conducted studies all show that the proportion of children with decayed, missing, or filled teeth is lower in Europe, where water is not fluoridated, than in the United States, where it is. This is convincing evidence that fluoridation of water does not have a substantial tendency to prevent tooth decay.

Which one of the following, if true, would most strengthen the dentist's argument?

(A) Toothpaste containing fluoride is widely available in both the United States and Europe. (B) Nearly all dentists in the United States use dental treatments involving the application of fluoride directly to tooth surfaces.

(C) Dental hygiene is typically taught in elementary school in both Europe and the United States.

(D) On average, children in Europe receive dental checkups more frequently than children in the United States.

(E) The diets of children in the United States are not generally worse for teeth than those of children in Europe.

Since I've started studying for the lsat for the past few months, i hadn't really focused on rc as my biggest area of weakness was LR and now as my exam is coming up in a few weeks, my rc inaccuracy has DOUBLED. I used to get from -6 to -8 and for the past two practice tests it's been -12 which is insane and it's freaking me out. As the rest is creeping up the anxiety and pressure is making my scores get even lower, barely past my diagnostic. I'm really panicked and would share any advice anyone has. I need to get 160+ for my dream law school and the last admission date they really consider is november:(. Now I'm just PT-ing low-mid 150s. :( I got 164 end of september but just steady decline since then :(

Is there any live class that focuses heavily on diagramming? This is probably my weakest area that is contributing to missed points for a higher score on the LSAT. In the search box for recorded classes, diagramming is not called out specifically and I do not want to revisit all of the foundations if I do not have to for this.

Thanks in advance/

It appears unlikely that Causal Reasoning is, on average, 22.7% of the LSAT. Is the "Avg. questions per test" metric bugged?

Hi all,

I’ve been studying for the lsat, I took October test which I came out not confident and felt like I bombed it but I also signed up for November as a back up as I want to apply this cycle. However, continuing studying has been tuff it’s like I’m mentally exhausted with the lsat, I tried to drill 10 questions and I’m just so mentally exhausted and keep getting easier questions wrong or not fully in tuned, is this a sign of burnout? What could this be?

Hello all. Just finishing the SA question module in the Core Curriculum, and it's kicking my butt. I'm wondering if it's best to basically start it again from the beginning and really try to grok it, or push on and come back later in the hopes that it will make more sense.

Or maybe it's like any new & intense thing: you start out blazing but at some point you hit your first plateau, and you either have to take a break and come back fresh, or just grind through it. Thoughts?

Which answer, if true, most strongly supports the weary student's concerns? :)

Hello! I would like to know, for those who have already taken the LSAT and are taking it again, is 7sage is an accurate depiction of what the test is going to be like on test day. I have been vacillating between LawHub and 7sage. I have noticed that LawHub is slightly differently from 7sage although I have ran across a question or two on 7sage from LawHub. Also there are no comparative passages on the LawHub preptests. I just want to avoid the shock.

Hey everyone,

I’m taking the LSAT in November, and I heard that during the online test it’s required to keep your hands visible in the camera frame at all times.

The issue is, I’m using a MacBook, and it’s basically impossible to do that comfortably. To make my hands visible, I’d have to tilt the screen so far down that I can barely see the screen to read the questions.

Has anyone else faced this problem? Any practical setup suggestions or ways to position the laptop or camera so it meets LSAC’s rules without making it impossible to take the test?

Thanks in advance for any tips!

Hi, I am looking for advice for how to get into the high 160s and lower 170s by November test. My last PTs are averaging 164 with LR averaging -4 and RC averaging -6. I do full PT BRs and WAJs and have read the loophole. Looking for any advice! Thanks!

What do you suggest when I am constantly getting 170s for Blind Review, but only 150s for actual runs for PTs. How should I plan my next steps for studying.

So is there a way to have a custom study schedule please as in here:

Appreciate it.

1 step forward, 2 steps back it seems

im almost a week behind on my study plan schedule because I did less last week. Is there any way to sync the study plan to today's date so that im not chasing old lessons?

Hi, can this be an option for those who have no experimental on their exam due to accommodations?

I'm taking the lsat in two days and I'm currently freaking out because I remember Kevin said something about few and a few not being the same but I can't remember exactly what he said. I know I'm probably just overanalyzing stuff before the test but if anyone remembers, please help :))))

I'm taking the LSAT at home for the first time (had a terrible in-person experience so trying this), but I was wondering if anyone with a gaming PC setup has been dinged for having multiple monitors, mic arms, etc.

I've made a second setup with just a laptop, XL gaming pad, and additional monitor as my "testing zone" but was wondering if secondary monitors/graphic mousepads are dinged and not allowed. Should I keep it to just the laptop and mouse?

Would love to hear about other ppl's experiences testing at home and how I can optimize my setup for seamless testing without having to rework my desk the day of.

I recently completed the core curriculum and am starting a study process of a PT once a week and drilling based on the results of the previous test. However, I am two PT's in and what is killing me the most is just blanking on the stimulus and re-reading it over and over only to have time run out with 8-10 questions left to go.

Is there a specific strategy to focus on improving time, or is it just repetition? Should i grind through PT's anyway, or is it better to just do untimed drills?

I'm feeling beyond defeated with Reading Comp. I know we are not reading for detail, but I still feel like im missing connections that help answer the questions. I feel decent at understanding author's opinion, structure, and keeping low res summaries in mind. Any tips?

Can someone PLEASE give me an easier way to learn reasoning?? Link Assumption, Casual Reasoning, and Conditional Reasoning seem to be the only consistent thing that im getting wrong. Or is there a class that specifically targets reasoning??
