Title. I want to find PTs with particular difficult sections to practice
LSAT

Hi! I'd love to have some friends to study with, maybe a pomordo type set up where we work and can chat over a break maybe, 30/5 or 50/10?
I'm thinking evenings or Saturdays but am open to weekday options too!
I’ve done a few prep tests, and my actual score usually ranges from 150 to 160. My blind review score, though, is around 170. When I do timed drills, especially for four-star and five-star questions, I usually get only a few right or most of them wrong. But during blind review, I get almost all of them right, or sometimes just one wrong.
At this point, I know my issue isn’t comprehension. It’s timing.
If I focus on finishing within the time limit, I make dumb mistakes. But if I focus on accuracy, I often spend too much time on certain questions. Sometimes it’s because I’m unsure about an answer that’s actually correct, and other times I just can’t finish all the questions.
Do you have any strategies? I understand that comprehension is the key to improving speed, and I’ve been working on that for months. I see improvement only in blind review or with the easier one- and two-star ones and no major improvement in how quickly I can get through the harder questions during timed sections.
Hi!
After improving drilling accuracy for a particular question type, would it be more effective to then work on speed (and thus mastery), or to move on to another question type?
My thoughts are that working on speed will necessarily take much more time, perhaps disproportionately to the diversity of question types and skills a prep test actually requires, but it may lead to better translation from drilling to prep test scores.
How can I access the explanation videos for the practice tests?
Like many, this is one of my weaker points. It's been a focus throughout my studies and I feel like I'm finally understanding and getting more accurate! I know how to recognize SA vs NA questions, but it's not making sense to me how these questions differ in the answer. For example: "Which one of the following is an assumption necessary for the critic's conclusion to be properly drawn?" I am able to bridge the gap and connect the points, which is getting me the correct answers, but I don't see the answer as a necessary. An example is PT 126 Section 1. The answer is connecting B to C. Then the conclusion is C to D. So how is B to C a necessary vs sufficient assumption? Maybe I'm getting too in my head about it and the focus on finding and filling the gap is all I need to really think about. But open to any thoughts! And not able to pay a tutor $1000 to explain this question to me 🤪
163 lsat 3.8 gpa. Applied pretty late got waitlisted into Chapman, LMU, UC Irvine. Got admission with 200k from southwestern. Obviously southwestern is lower ranked. Should I just go to southwestern or try again next cycle earlier?
I absolutely love the live class feature on 7sage! Nicole's classes have been extremely helpful in advancing almost 20 points in my test score since I first started studying for the LSAT. While I haven't been able to attend most of her classes live, I have been able to access her wealth of knowledge, and other tutor's as well, through the live class library. When I filter on the live class search bar the classes only go back a few months vs. the classic.7sage which goes back 10 + months. Will the live class library on classic.7sage be incorporated on the new and improved 7sage? #hopeful #help #feedback
I am a visual learner and I am really struggling on how to study for the LSAT. I'm usually a flashcard person but I've been told that's not a good way to study for this test. I have looked on youtube, tiktok, chatgbt, I can't find any advice on how to approach studying for the LSAT as a visual learner. Anyone have any tips or tricks?

Was wondering if anyone had advice for how I can help this problem. I've been studying consistently since June, and have been plateauing on scores of around 155. However, my blind reviews have been going up, to where I'm now getting 170+ but not seeing those actual score changes on the timed version? Does anyone have advice on how to fix it? Is it just more practice with doing timing? I noticed one thing that I have trouble with is more of the logic ones like SA's, NA's, Mbt, etc where I get them wrong on the timed tests but get them right on blind review when I have time to work through them.
Hi everyone! I have made some progress on my LSAT score. I have been scoring low 160 and then high 160 or over 170 in the blind review. Any tips on closing this gap? The fundamentals are there it seems but the timing gets me I guess.
Are the analytics that prioritize by tags made only from data from PTs, not including drills or sections? I think it would be nice to see the analytics that include how I did at least in timed sections if not timed drills in addition to the PTs cause I don't really want to be taking a PT all the time to see which areas I should try to focus more of my attention on.
If these are really only made with solely PT data, I feel like the lack of PTs I've taken so far is skewing my analytics. However, I don't want to be blazing through all of the PTs and burn out mentally to get a better sample of how I'm doing.
The analytics feature is super cool and useful for sure, but I think it would be a nice feature to at least add a filter where I could toggle to add more data into these analytics with questions from drills/sections if I wanted to!
hey there im new one here if there's an actve group on whatsapp or instagram could you please share the invite link THANK YOU
I just got done taking the LSAT at an in person test center and it was so loud. I had the headphones on but the proctors sat on the other side of a glass window talking about their lives almost the entire test so loudly that I could barely think. I took the test at a center because of the horror stories I've heard of online tests. If I knew it was going to be so loud I would have just taken it at home and asked my family to get out of the house for two hours. If I file a complaint do I have a chance at getting this score canceled and getting a retake? Or am I being ridiculous here?
Hey! Looking for tips on how to decide what passages to do and in what order. Note that I don't get through all 4 passages timed unless I want to miss most questions (I'm ok with this, it's my best option to score-wise, and RC is a big struggle for me). I just need to get through 3/4 passages, but I can't tell which approach is best as far as picking which ones I choose to do.
If one of the passages I choose turns out to be the hardest of them all, it takes me much more time and not as much reward. I find myself scoring lower than I have to because the one I skipped was easier than one or more that I did. So, I'm asking for advice on quick ways to tell whether it's worth doing.
I know there's not much of a predictable order of doing them, but if you have any tips on how you decide to do it, please let me know (even if you do get through all 4, you surely want to save the hardest for last to get rewarded for points you know you can get)
For example, should I choose:
ones with the most questions
shortest passage
glance at question types to see if it has many that I struggle with/good at (I could see this approach eating up too much time)
length of passage
topic
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
I'm located in MD. I just started studying for the LSAT and would love to start a virtual study group if anyone is interested.
Thanks
I often click on the "high priority" question types for logical reasoning, and I'll do a drill of maybe 10 "Must be true" questions, but the system doesn't include any of my drilled questions into the data for how I am performing on those questions. This leaves me a little confused about what the "personalized drilling" is doing if it is not connected to analytics. I'm using new 7sage if that helps.
I'm studying for Sept and reaching a point where i'm consistently scoring worse on sections than I was 2 weeks ago and feeling discouraged. I took 2 days off and came back to do a RC section and got the worst score I've gotten in a while. I've been a bit burnt out for a while as I'm also finishing up a publication at my full-time job at the moment, so that might be a contributor. I don't want to waste anymore practice time, but I also don't want to make the problem worse by pushing it especially since I have a 168 from June and am really trying for a 170+. Posting for advice but also to vent a little bit lol
Hey guys!! I'm looking for a study buddy/ accountability partner. I'm taking the LSAT in October and trying to apply to TTU law. I hope all of you guys get a 175 or higher!!!
I have 2 questions regarding the order of the sections on the LSAT regarding LR vs RC.
First, is an experimental LR as equally likely to occur as an experimental RC? Meaning is 3 LR, 1 RC as common as 2 LR, 2 RC?
Second, if there are two LRs and two RCs, is a certain order predominant:
Ex: LR-RC-LR-RC or RC-LR-LR-RC
I'm asking because I'm curious if its possible to get LR-LR-RC-RC which seems especially brutal! Thanks.
Hi! My question is about the Question #5 on Skill Builder - Negation 3 in the Foundations module----
The original sentence is: "Chess is the most appropriate analogy to reporting on political campaigns."
I understand that a proper negation would be something like: "Either something else is a more appropriate analogy for reporting on political campaigns than chess is, or something else ties with chess as being the most appropriate." or "It is not the case that chess is the most appropriate analogy to reporting on political campaigns."
However, I was wondering why wouldn't a simpler negation like "Chess is not the most appropriate analogy to reporting on political campaigns" be sufficient? Is there a meaningful difference between the two, or do they functionally mean the same thing in formal logic?
Thank you so much for your time and help!
Hello,
When I log in, it says that my LawHub Advantage subscription is expiring in a couple of days. Does anyone know if I need to renew it to continue using 7Sage? Thank you! :)

Getting a 170+ on the LSAT doesn’t require superhuman intelligence—it requires learning how to think like someone who consistently scores in the 170s. In this episode, we break down what that mindset looks like: slower, more methodical, and laser-focused on clarity. If you’ve ever felt like you're rushing through sections, second-guessing yourself, or missing the forest for the trees, this one’s for you. We’ll talk about how the "170 Brain" approaches Reading Comp, Logical Reasoning, and even test-day decisions. It's not about being perfect—it's about thinking differently.
A report comparing my progress to that of other users on the site would be helpful for understanding where I stand on the learning curve. The expected accuracy and percentage in the Priority by Tag analytics are a great addition.
In the example below, the average number of questions per test is calculated by dividing the total number of questions (29) by the number of tests taken (4), which should result in 7.25 questions per test.
