Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone had tips and tricks on how to improve logical reasoning questioning. I have done so much practice and for some reason I still can't seem to improve

I find that for the first few stimuli or passages, all that I can think about is my score/worrying about doing well on the PT. Sometimes this prevents me from understanding the argument (even if it's simple), because I'm so preoccupied! Does anyone have any strategies that have worked for them to stay present and (for lack of better words), how to not freak out!

Thank you so much 7Sage Community!

All, I have been studying on and off for the LSAT for years. Jumping back in trying to take the April '26 test. Feeling overwhelmed as I resume studying. Part of me thinks that I should just drill, drill, drill for the next several weeks. I'm only a couple days back on the grind, but feeling pretty lost on question type recognition and strategy. Thoughts?

I am so happy to prep with 7Sage!!! 7Sage is No. 1!!!

LSAC has released three recent official PrepTests (2023, 2024, and 2025) (Those are from the real scored sections). These are the four Logical Reasoning questions I missed from the January 2023 exam. If anyone—especially tutors—is able to provide explanations for them, I would really appreciate it.

I took the LSAT in my final year of college and got a pretty good score (169). Right now, I'm studying for June or August to see if I can improve on that for when I apply next fall. If my PT's aren't trending well by test time and it seems like I may not improve, I plan on not taking the test and going with my old score just to avoid scoring lower.

Would I be negatively affected by applying with a 2 year old LSAT score? I've seen some schools, Notre Dame, for one, say that they recommend taking the LSAT within a year of applying.

I just finished the theory/core core curriculum today and am moving into the practice/drilling phase of my studying. For the theory I watched every video explanation for every question because I wanted to focus my time and energy on understanding the test. As I move into the drilling phase where I am turning my focus towards answering questions correctly and quickly I am wondering if it is still worth my time to watch video explanations even for questions I confidently got right. If anyone has any tips/suggestions on what has worked for them in the drilling phase please let me know! Thanks!

Usually when I complete a question during a drill, one of the first stats I look at his how much time I spent on the question. But now when I hit analytics, the time I spent (and whether I was over or under the ideal time) is hidden and I need to expand that side tab in order to see my time analytics. Is this a recent update or just a glitch on my laptop?

Hi! I started studying in January and have taken two PTs so far. I scored a 162 on the first and a 167 on the second. I am hoping for a score in the mid 170s. Would it be worth taking the April LSAT? (I will take more PTs by then, I promise.) Even if it’s not realistic for me to get to a point where I’m consistently around my target score by then, should I still take it so I have experience with test days before June?

I should also add that I am most likely going to apply to law school in 2027, for entrance in Fall 2028. I was just hoping to finish the LSAT before I start my full time job in July, but I do recognize I have plenty of time to take the test. Sorry if this is a silly post!

I love the video explanations!!! They are so helpful! 10 ⭐️!

Looking for a study group here in Miami for the April and June LSATs.

is taking a two month long break okay? starting again in may and grinding hard all summer to take the test in august ?

Hello all, I started this program back in early February and been trying to keep up with a full time job, helping out my wife (she’s in full time school and full time job and on top of all of that, a part time internship 😅) and trying not to go insane! I found a great discussion post recently about when to study and for how long which made me feel a lot better about where I am at so far, however, I feel like I’m moving extremely slow, especially with the study plan. I’m technically behind it according to 7sages recommendation which is fine, it mostly feels like I’m learning something and then trying it out but then immediately learning something new again. For example last week ish I was on must be true examples and questions and now I’m on resolve, reconcile and explain questions, which I’m definitely struggling with. Anyways my main question here is I’m going to keep moving with the study plan but should I be adding some more drills to my practice?

Hi all,

I just finished the NA module and am doing some drills but it's going horribly. I know these questions are really difficult, but I just can't seem to get a grasp on it.

I know that these questions depend on your making your own assumptions based on the information given, but it's annoying when the explanations make it seem like you're supposed to get that one specific assumption. I guess I'm frustrated because you can come up with so many assumptions, but the right one is like the 3rd one you came up with and it's said in a very convoluted way in the answer choice, and on top of that, you also have to do the negation test, which for me is also a bit confusing...

It's making me feel like I'm not good at making assumptions and then also the negation test frustrates me as well because it wants me to negate (which I am good at, all my negations match up) but I can't seem to figure its relationship with the argument...

I don't really know what the point of this post was, maybe partially to rant, but I think I just would like your guys' input on what you did to overcome the difficulty, frustration and feeling like nothing in the NA makes sense because I feel like I'm about to start tearing out hairs..

Hi everyone, I started studying in January and have been having a hard time figuring out the right study plan for myself.

For context, I work full-time on the legal team at an incredibly busy startup and find it really hard to motivate myself to study after work. When I am studying, I don't feel like I am really retaining the information as well as I should be. I've also been struggling to feel like I am "doing enough". I'm often so burnt out from life that when I am relaxing, I feel so guilty for not studying.

Is there anyone else working full-time who is struggling to find a good study plan? How many hours is sufficient? Should I just focus on doing PTs and going through explanations and analyses of incorrect answers? Should I just follow the "comprehensive" schedule 7Sage creates?

I'm feeling really lost, unmotivated, and incapable. I registered for the June LSAT a few months ago, but now I am feeling like shooting for the 2027 school year is not even plausible.

Hi,

I am signed up for the April LSAT and I only have 7 fresh RC sections and 12 LR sections left. Should I take a break for a few weeks and consolidate those sections into the month before my exam? Should I try another LSAT prep program? Should I invest in a tutor? Since I am going on vacation for 9 days in early March, should I just postpone my first exam to June? I have been testing at low 160s but I feel like I am about to break into mid 160s based on relearning the fundamentals, but I'm just not sure what to do. I am fully committed to applying for the Fall 2027 cycle. Seeking guidance.

Hello! I have been studying for the lsat for a long time. I plan on taking the June exam. As of right now, I am getting the questions correct, however i am struggling a lot with time. Any tips?

So today, I just scored for the first time within the region of my target score. My PT's are untimed; however, I will have more than enough time on the test for accommodations reasons. The deadline is soon and I am debating whether I should apply, I scored a 159; however, I felt like this PT was the first PT where the answers were apparent and I rarely guessed. My goal score is upper 160s, preferably 167+. I want to allow myself to have enough time to retake the LSAT, and I feel that August is notoriously one of the harder tests, if I take April it gives me a better chance to have more time to score better, while also having a less competitive pool. Do I register for April or wait for June? HELP!!!!

In this episode of the 7Sage Podcast, ZeSean (Columbia Law) and Nicole (Berkeley Law) continue their 1L series with a deep dive into BigLaw recruiting. From networking receptions and free mozzarella sticks to screeners, callbacks, and the anxiety of grade-contingent offers, they walk through what recruiting really looks like during an accelerated 1L fall timeline.

They talk about figuring out practice areas before you even know what you want to do with your life, vibing with litigators versus corporate attorneys, how to approach networking events without being “that person,” and what firms are actually looking for in interviews.

Whether you’re planning on BigLaw, public interest, or still have no idea, this episode offers an honest look at how recruiting works today and how to navigate it without losing your mind.

Next up: finals.

Anyone else having the issue where the time the question was done in is not showing up? I have to refresh the page for the timing section in the analytics to show up for every question.

Hi there,

I have been drilling 15 questions per session LR (RC on the side as well) and I am finding that I am doing terrible during the actual attempt (such as 7/15-9/15) to (13-14/15) during BR. Does anyone have tips on how to master the timing strategies. I've looked around for a while but still struggling on the timing.

Any recommendations would be helpful.

Thank you

7Sage INSTRUCTORS ARE THE BEST!!!

My testing date is April 10, and I have 6 fresh full practice tests left. Do you recommend taking one every week to give myself the most practice possible before April 10, or taking them every two weeks, prioritizing drills, and leaving ~3 fresh tests for me to work with if I plan to take the LSAT again in June?

I have heard mixed things about whether or not to do full Ptests every week. Up until now I've been doing them about every two weeks, and have had good results; but I've also heard you should take them more frequently as you get closer to the test date.

Advice would be much appreciated!
