LSAT

Hi everyone! Seeking some advice.
I have the study plan that 7Sage generated for me and I am still doing the foundations/core curriculum. Should I also start adding in my own drills? Or wait until I reach the practice phase? For reference I took the January LSAT so I already have a good bit of practice under my belt, but I want to strength my foundations before the April test. Looking to improve 6-10 points.
Hello everyone,
I am currently using the study schedule that 7Sage makes. I just wanted to know if I should go through the core curriculum until I get to the practices or do my own practice drills as well? I know I will have to start taking full practice exams as well.
Currently I work full time, have 2 kids, and my husband is away in the military. I appreciate any tips and advice on this matter.
Is it okay to read aloud when taking the test remotely? I know they monitor my computer and webcam, and wanted to make sure that wouldn't be seen as cheating or anything?
I've found that I score much better on reading comp when I read aloud than when I don't.
Some questions for the Bonus PTs (7 through 23) will have weird highlighting that's clearly wrong when you click "Show analysis." Please ignore.
You should trust the highlights if and only if there's an associated written explanation. If there isn't one, then the highlights are not a product of human judgment, but some random default based on the code.
Previously, when selecting a Q-Type tag (like MBT) and a Stim Logic tag (like Conditional Reasoning), you'd get questions tagged MBT OR CondR. But we've found that most students and tutors prefer an AND relationship in that situation. They'd really want to target conditional-based MBT questions and prefer to minimize other kinds of questions.
Here's how the filters work now:
Multiple tags within the same category: OR
Example: Must Be True, Sufficient Assumption = MBT OR SA
Example: Conditional Reasoning, Causal Reasoning = CondR OR CausR
Multiple tags across different categories: AND
Example: Sufficient Assumption, Causal Reasoning = SA AND CausR
Example: Must Be True, Sufficient Assumption, Conditional Reasoning, Causal Reasoning = (MBT OR SA) AND (CondR OR CausR)

Breaking into the 170s on Logical Reasoning is not about doing more questions. It is about building the right habits.
In this episode of the 7Sage LSAT Podcast, instructors Bailey and Chapin talk through the key Logical Reasoning habits that separate top scorers from the rest. They explain why LR plateaus happen, how 170 plus scorers approach arguments differently, and what actually drives consistent improvement.
You will learn how to spot what an argument must assume, how to eliminate wrong answer choices with confidence, and how to review mistakes in a way that leads to real score gains. If you are stuck in the high 160s or want to make your LR practice more effective, this episode is for you.
The LSAT is hard. We will help you crush it anyways.
I am early in my LSAT studying (about halfway through theory modules) and have heard people talk about keeping a mistake journal? When should I start? How do I know how to set it up? Are there any good videos out there? PLZ HELP!!
hi everyone! I’m in a bit of a pickle, I took my third LSAT and it didn’t quite go my way at all. I have two cancels on file already, and scored a 143 on my latest test. I’m very sad about the situation, but am wondering if anyone has any advice on if I should keep or cancel my score. I intend to study with a tutor and retake this Fall to apply for next year’s cycle. Please help! Thank you! :-)
How do you all study for the argumentative writing portion of the test? I’ve reviewed the content from 7sage but wondering how else to prepare. Should I do some practice tests through LSAC?
Hello All,
I was wondering if there's anyone else like me who scored lower than their PT’s average by 7 points and how i can resolve this issue before getting back into studies? I consistently score 158-160 and could not break out of the 150s on the offical test. What might the issues be? Even with extra time like 50 min, i had to guess on 2-3 questions in each section.
hey so I am starting to get better on LR however I am doing very poorly on RC. I have accommodations and am trying to understand what I am reading but I do not know what to look for. After looking back I got 9 questions wrong that I was between two answers and the other answer was right.
hey everyone,
I took my argumentative writing portion of the lsat today. I finished the actual essay. I wouldn't say it was my best work but it was okay given the time constraints. my only worry is that I had a number of typos that I wasn't able yo address before I ran out of time. is this nothing to be worried about??? should I be concerned...? should I redo it?? any suggestions would be helpful. thank you!
hi i just started lsat prep a week ago and im kinda nervous because right now im just in the theory section and i havent seen any practice tests yet in all of the theory section. im assuming this would start in practice section? Idk it just kind of makes me nervous. is it normal to not be doing practice tests this early?
Hi, i am currently doing my practice block on my study plan. I took a full practice test on saturday and i have a certain amount of assignments to complete each day. I took yesterday off since it was the day after my practice test, and today is monday and i come to complete my daily drills and i literally cant focus. Like i keep getting them wrong. Is that a sign maybe of drain from the PT, should i stop or push through it?
Howdy Y'all,
I just started my test prep today! Whoo hoo... confidence is high at the moment, but I know there will be hard times in the future. However, the point of this post is to ask how or if note-taking has been beneficial to you. I want to start writing down main points, my understandings, etc. to increase memory note-taking. I just wanted to hear your thoughts, how you take notes (pen/paper, or electronically) or if you even take notes at all! Thanks, have an amazing day!

I have noticed that questions on 7sage tests start easier and then get harder as the section goes on. Is that the case for the real LSAT exam as well? I am assuming that it so, but just wanted to make sure.
Hey guys! I was wondering if there was a way to have more weeks of just practice versus theory, or if i selected "just practice", will I still have acsess to the theory videos, should I need them?
Hi! I am a senior at UC Berkeley and just started studying for the August LSAT. If you are interested in forming a study group (in person and online), please message me :)
Hello. I plan to take my test next week. I'm scoring low on PT. Just took one and got a 131. Can anyone give me suggestions in how to raise my score ?
Thanks to 7sage, I am leaving with a 178! Best of luck to everyone else who’s still studying—you’ve got this!
Hi everyone. I've practiced with every single RC passage in the past 7 months (even the old exams from the '90s that have to be unselected), since that is undoubtedly my weakness on the test, particularly dense science and law passages (I took Oct and Jan LSATS and experienced this on the real exam for sure...). I've also found the RC on my real tests to be more difficult than many of the passages we have available to study, if anyone else has had that thought, I'd really appreciate hearing how you've been studying to prepare for that!
I'm curious what anyone else in this situation has done, if you have any advice for addressing this gap in performance, etc. I'm going to go through all the ones I have with missed q's first, and just refresh for new passages if they seem too familiar, but very open to suggestions or if anyone may want to ask eachother questions about difficult Science Direct articles, etc, anything like that that might help.
Thanks to everyone at 7Sage.
Hello everyone. I am thinking of subscribing to the total prep intensive course. I noticed today that Ryan Towmey and Eric Wang are teaching the course. Can anyone confirm their experience with either or both of them?
Hi! I took the January LSAT and got a 160 but I am really aiming to get as close to a 175 as possible (even though that might not be the most realistic goal). I’m not able to take the June LSAT and I will be applying to law school next application cycle, so I am currently planning on taking the LSAT again in April. However, I am feeling worried that I will not be able to see the score increase that I want, and I don’t know if my study plan is the most effective.
Currently I study every day for about 2 hours Monday through Friday, and I do timed drills/sections and review all wrong answers, alternating LR and RC everyday. I also take a full test on Saturdays. But I don’t know how much this is helping.
I would love any insight on study plans and if you think my goal is possible! Thank you!
How do i add old questions to the drill question bank?
