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.

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 :)

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.

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!

Hi Guys, I work full time and study and I find it hard sometimes to be able to dedicate a lot of time each day, only because I cannot get myself past brain fog and inability to focus. Does anyone have any tips and tricks that have worked for them?

Hi,

Quick question for the 7Sage team: I heard there will be free live classes on 01/29. Will we be able to watch them back for free too?

A bit of a vulnerable discussion post. I was wondering if there's anyone else that on multiple real LSATs has scored lower than their PT average by a significant amount, and how they were able to overcome this? I consistently score 17mid-high, and cannot break out of the 160s on the real tests. What might the issues be? I'm always struggling to finish but only on the real test. SOS :(

How do i add old questions to the drill question bank?

This helped me with a rc speed a lot at no detriment to comprehension that might help others! I trace the entire passage with my finger tracing my computer screen, my speed has increased and it helps me keep my speed at a consistent pace. Try it out!

I'm taking the LSAT for the first time at a testing center on Feb. 7th. I am looking into it and realizing that the rules at these testing centers are pretty strict (thought it was much more casual). In the video the LSAC gives for the testing center tutorial, it seems like there is some level of security and a prohibition for bringing in certain items. I have not gotten a definitive answer on this, however: can I bring coffee into the LSAT at a testing center? Does anyone who has taken the test know? I perform better in practice testing while drinking coffee, funny as it may be, so it would be a shame if I couldn't. Please inform! Thanks.

Is there a way to reset the core curriculum and redo it all over again? I am trying to do a second pass of it to really solidify my knowledge.

I am feeling better since three weeks ago, when I was around -12 and -12 Blind Review. What does it mean if my blind review is better than my score? Often, I was between two answer choices and just chose the wrong one.

Thank you

Was PT155 comparatively more challenging than other PTs, or is it just me? I specifically really struggled with the first section (LR Exp) and third section (RC).

How can I break into the mid 170s?? Do I need to change the way I'm practicing and reviewing (sections and wrong answer journal) or just practice more? Does anyone have tips to start scoring consistently -0/-1 on LR instead of -2/-3? Also does anyone have issues with RC consistency / tips on how to become more consistent?

Im having trouble with causal reasoning it's my highest priority and I have a test in a couple weeks. Does anyone know specifically what vids i should re watch? or does anyone have any quick tips? thank you!

January scores released today and I bumped my score up 22 points from my diagnostic in early October 2025!!! The reading comp on January was tough which I think drug me down but overall am happy with the results! Thanks to 7sage for the studying help...couldn't have done it without you!

For reference I studied about two to three hours a day after my 9-5 M-T (I'm a legal assistant at my county's prosecuting attorney's office). On Fridays and Saturday it was more like 4 hours. Took a PT every Saturday starting at four weeks before the test.

I’m not sure what happened my first exam. Nerves maybe? I have drilled over 2000 questions in 3 months and was consistently able to get even the most difficult questions correct within a minute.

Do I cancel my one and only score? I am registered for February already.

I got a 173 on the Jan test and I'm super excited. But also, I am a junior and have a lot of time to retake. I want to be competitive for the T3 schools. I have PT'd at 174 and could probably get higher if I study more. Is there a real difference between 173 and 174 for the best schools?

Hi all. This is so stupid but I have trouble coming up with an effective study plan. I am a full time student and usually study for about 2-3 hours for the LSAT a day. I am in mid/high 150s and plan to take June LSAT with a goal score of 170+. my hardest section is RC but I am focusing on mastering LR first. if there is a study/daily plan that has helped you or you think will be helpful, please let me know!

i got a 143 even though i was scoring high 150s on pt... feeling super defeated and im registered to take the feb one. should i just reschedule it. does anyone has tips on timing, i finished no sections on this test, partly due to stress and rereading over and over.

i had a tutor for the last couple weeks and have been self study for a month before, got a 134 on diagnostic and brought myself to high 150s before this exam.

Hi! I just got my January LSAT score back, which is one point above my average PT score (yay!) I am currently registered for February but, to be honest, I’m not sure how much I can improve on the actual thing in another week and a half. I was wondering if anyone had guidelines on whether or not it is beneficial to re-take the exam? Thanks!

I never performed well on my practice tests to be honest. My best score that I got was a 162 and I was averaging around the 150’s. I just got a 171 on my lsat I took which is up 8 points from my first one in November. I did that increase in around one month as, if I’m being honest, didn’t study much before I got my November score back on the 28th. Prior to that test I only had about 3.5 weeks to study.

Ask me any questions you like! If you are nervous about your practice test scores, there’s definitely still hope for you to get a better score than you think!

Hey everyone! January LSAT Scores just came out today, wanted to create a thread for people to speak about their experience. Feel like reflection now can help a lot of people in the future.

Am I the only person who sometimes, no matter how many times I read a passage or how hard I try cant understand what the passage is saying and end up having to just guess and search up key words in the passage which sometimes, I actually dont do as bad as you would think by guessing. Does anyone have any tips or tricks, or maybe Im just dumb and am the only person that cant understand some passages.
