I'm trying to increase my speed on easier questions so that I can have more time for hard questions, but then I ended up getting more questions wrong. Is this problem going to go away as I practice more? (when I do blind review with more time I'll get it right so I thought the only problem is that I did not give myself enough time to read more carefully and in more detail). Any suggestions?

I'm still in the Foundations section (a little over halfway through it). I thought I was improving my understanding of the formatting of these questions, but the last 4 LSAT test questions that have come up in the Foundations section, I've been completely lost and got all of them wrong because I got frustrated, couldn't map out the sentence structure and just guessed. Prior to studying, when I was taking test questions, I was averaging about 1/2 -3/4 correct, it just feels like I'm not making any progress and now I'm even backsliding. I take the test in February. Did this happen to anyone else? I'm wondering if it's because my brain is trying to understand the questions in a different way and it's just not there yet. Maybe it's the transition period? Looking for some advice. :(

I started studying for the LSAT on October 1st. I've just been doing the "Core Curriculum" lessons to get a good basis of understanding. Should I be mixing in practice drill questions even though I'm at the beginning of the lessons? If not, when should I begin to mix in the questions with the Core Curriculum lessons I do every day?

Everyone makes mistakes on the LSAT—but some are far more common (and costly) than others. In this episode, Henry and Rahela break down the five traps they see students fall into again and again, and share what separates average scorers from top performers. Whether you’re just starting or chasing that final score bump, you’ll want to hear this before your next practice test.

Hey y'all, I'm studying for the November LSAT, which will be the final LSAT I will take. I feel pretty good about my LR, however my RC is really inconsistent. Sometimes I get -1/-2 and other times I get -7/-8. I want to drill efficiently this upcoming month and want advice on how others have improved their RC sections.

My practice consists of drilling separate passages (timed), where I focus on writing efficient and quick low res sums, and taking full length sections under timed conditions. I also try to join as many RC classes as I can. I'm trying to focus at least a full hour of RC everyday and can up that time.

How should I switch up my studying? Have there been effective practice methods that have worked for you? Would love any and all advice :)!

hi, just subscribed to 7sage (core) after taking a diagnostic last week and am going to start studying on monday to take the lsat in February. I've read that besides 7sage; loophole, lsat trainer, and the powerscore bibles are the best resources. I'm just wondering how to most effectively use these in combination (in terms of in what order to go and which, if any, to use simultaneously), especially without confusing myself?

I've seen some things about doing 7sage foundations or all of 7sage theory first before adding loophole and lsat trainer, other different things about working through all of them at the same time, and not much about adding powerscore bibles to the three. I would really appreciate some help/advice on what has worked for people & what is generally recommended as I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed and want to make sure I get it right. thanks

Hey guys, I need #help on strategizing for LR sections. I've been studying for some time now, and I know that people say that the more you practice, the more you'll see a pattern in wrong answers and right ones. Idk if it's the fact that I initially took some long breaks in between completing the CC or if I'm just overthinking things, but I have not yet seen this pattern. Any and every tip is welcome, thanks in advance!

Hi everyone. I did the LSAT in September and got the results back. I want to know if I should keep or cancel the score.

I have only been studying since mid-July and wasn't expecting a high score considering I got a 136 in my first PT I ever did, and my last PT before the official exam was 147. I got a 147 in the official exam as well and planning to write the Nov LSAT again. My goal is 160(+).

Do you think I should keep the score or delete it? Does anyone know if the cancellation usually tends to have a negative effect on the application, or the schools look at the bright side and see improvement if I score higher in the Nov test?

I am also asking because I have only written the exam once, and the applications are due Nov 1. So is it better to have a low mark on file, or no mark at all before the application deadline?

Hello, I just did the diagnostic test and accidentally submitted before doing section 4 because I assumed that was the ungraded section but it was not. So I missed all the questions on that section. Was hoping to redo that section if possible to get an actual diagnostic score. Does anyone know how to do this?

I cannot seem to locate the jillion flagged questions I marked over the last few months. I can find the bookmarked ones, not the flagged ones. Any ideas?

Hi everyone. I'm planning on taking the October test in a few days but I'm not getting past the mid 150s right now. I want to apply with at least a 160 but I'm not sure if that's achievable in a couple days. The problem is that I'm planning on applying this cycle and the next test I can register for is the January one. Last cycle, I took the January test and scored in the high 150s but wasn't accepted in an Ontario school. I'm wondering if the score was the main reason or if it was because my application was considered late because of the late LSAT. Are there considerably lower spots remaining to fill? Are they harsher on your application?

I'm now in the same predicament and can't decide whether I should opt out of this test and take it in January or just take my chances and see if I get accepted with the score I receive. I just don't want to ruin my chances again. Any advice would be appreciated (even if you're not applying in Canada). Thank you!

Any suggestions with not second-guessing yourself when doing the reccommended blind reviews? I got -5 before blind reviewing and then got -9 after. I picked 6 wrong answers during blind review that I got the correct answer for originally. I took my time during the section so I was confident and then saw all the reccomendations for blind review and went downhill. I'm getting closer to test date and I'm second guessing everything now. I think it's the anxiety of testing soon but I'd love to know tips.

This is super last minute seeming as I have a couple hours to make the decision, if I only want to pay $45, but would score preview be worth it. I take the test tomorrow and I took a practice test and scored 156, ... this is my first time taking the test so regardless I would want to retake it, but would it be better to keep my score, assuming I do get a 156. Or if I retake it and score better would it not matter. I thought i decided against buying it but i think too much lol, any advice is helpful

I followed this video on 7sage: https://7sage.com/lessons/next-steps/how-to-practice-after-the-curriculum/how-to-blind-review-and-keep-a-wrong-answer-journal

When I open my preptest to review this section is missing, how do we access this section?

Any suggestions or tips on maintaining the energy level during test (outside of doing more full test)? I find the first section I am great then something breaks midway through the second section. Thanks in advance.

Hey, quick question for anyone who studies 4–6 hrs a day for the LSAT. I have the time to do that, but I’m not sure what people are actually doing for so long. A timed section is only 35 min, and review doesn’t take me that much longer. Do you just drill questions for hours? Take a full test every day?

If anyone can share a breakdown of what their study schedule looks like for that many hours, I’d love to see it.

hey everyone. I started studying a couple months ago going through the whole curriculum and now I'm just drilling until i take the lsat in approximately a month.

overall i feel pretty good about my RC and some of my LR. but when it comes to anything related to sufficiency necessary, contrapositives, lawgic, diagramming, etc. I feel absolutely hopeless and clueless.

For example, I did PT136.S4.Q20 recently and I got it wrong and when I went to check the correct answer and explanation, I felt so lost. There was nothing I could even write down in my wrong answer journal.

Figuring out what's sufficient what's necessary, taking the contrapositive correctly then diagramming and chaining together conditionals in the stimulus and then doing so for each answer choice. It seems like something I could never do. I just don't even know where to start.

not only does missing these questions and not being able to understand them conceptually hurt my confidence with LR, I feel like its affecting my performance elsewhere. It's massively damaged my confidence in my ability to score well on the LSAT as whole.

I've looked online for resources and help, but every time someone tries to explain these concepts they do it in the easiest way possible that I feel doesn't carry over to the LSAT.

Yes, I am capable of understanding that being a dog is sufficient to being a mammal, and being a mammal is necessary for being a dog. But it's never that simple in an actual question on the LSAT.

i guess my point with this post, besides just venting, is to ask what resources have you found helped you in understanding formal logic, as it relates to questions on the LSAT?

guyssss my test is on saturday >> what would you recommend is the best way to really lock in and get a good preparation (ideally other than just taking a thousand PTs bc i feel like those tire you out more than really help). anyone have any good encouragement and study schedule for this last week thank youuu <3

Does anyone have any advice for stamina? I do way better on drills than I do on full PT's because my brain turns to mush. I'm getting 3-4 more questions wrong on practice tests than when I do individual sections!

I am at the point where I am seen almost every practice question and I even hit 160s a week ago but I am dipping back into the 150s. I got a few sessions of tutoring (which helped) but I feel like there is always something I am messing up.

I really thought I got RC but even with BR I get 5-8 qns wrong. In LR, I am also super all over the place but on a good day I am getting 3-5 wrong and on a bad day 5-8.

Is this fluctuation natural? I am taking LSAT next week and I know I am capable of getting 170s if I put it all together but I just don't know how to use my last week of studying to maximize that. I feel like I am past the point of drilling so I stick to practicing entire sections but I don't even know what will work and I feel SO hopeless.

When should I be doing the lessons vs the drills and Pts?

Help! I keep narrowing it down to two answers: the right one and one wrong and picking the wrong. What am I missing that can help me get out of this cycle? Any and all tips/advice appreciated.

Also taking the November LSAT & looking for a study buddy!

Is anyone else seeing a large fluction in scores?? I took a practice test two days ago and got a 160. I finished one today and got a 148. What is that about??

I've been studying the LSAT for almost a year and I have most of the concepts down. But every practice test I take, I find that I make stupid mistakes because I missed a key term in the stimulus or answer choice, and I choose a wrong answer that I wouldn't have chosen if I just caught it. But it keeps happening and when it does, the only advice I can think of is "read better", which isn't really helpful. Any advice on catching key words and reducing mistakes?

I had been studying for the September LSAT for the past few months and was scoring fairly consistently the three weeks leading up to it in the 170-175 range, but after getting scores back today, I had little improvement from my prior LSAT score taken earlier in 2025 and was not at that level.

At the end of the day, it just means that I need to study more and harder and maybe not rush the process. However, what is hard to get over is how discouraging it is. I am worried that even if I get my ideal, higher score on the next go, it will be like a smear to have the low scores on my record. I have score cancel and can do so, but I've a few days to decide. I cancelled my score from earlier this year as context for that.

I am looking to apply next cycle early and therefore have some time. Anyone else in a similar boat/has been in a similar boat? Any thoughts?
