I’m gonna be vulnerable here, I am SO stressed. I’ve noticed it playing a huge role in my scores, my physical and mental wellbeing, and honestly every part of my life. I take breaks, full rest days, I workout consistently, I see friends everyday, and really thought I was balancing my study time with my regular college life. Unfortunately I just don’t think I am mentally detaching from the exam when I’m not studying. Any tips on stress management? About a month out and need to start prioritizing myself to score well.

In the same boat, but we got it! Really focused on shifting my mentality from a life or death situation if I score where I want, to thinking that this is a learning process and an opportunity. We got it!!
They aren't foam, so idk if they will let you, but you should look into loops if they allow non-foam ones. They are worth the extra money! Super comfortable, diffrent types for different things, but the quiet 2s, are the best in my opinon!
@MichaelWright Thank you for this! I really appreciate you putting in the time to make this video. It’s definitely a stressful time but I’m happy I have the 7Sage community for support! Thank you again! I’ll take your advice to heart!
@APBookninja I'm someone who alwayssss use to write everything out because it helped me remember it better. I found that doing this though, keeps me more organized, and it takes the busy work out so I can intentionally study better. I still handwrite some things. Any big picture ideas I come across, common traps I fall for, PT patterns, I bullet in a physical journal. I have my journal separated for question types and passage types, and will jot down notes I see regularly on my excel to reinforce those ideas, or after clasess. I also think re-reading my Excel, and going back to questions after a few days really helps.
I use excel. I have a drop down to put the question type, a cell with the PT, section, and question number with a direct link to it, a cell for why I got it wrong, and why the right answer is correct, and what I can do better next time. If I 100% understand I highlight it green, yellow for iffy, and red if I have no clue. I go back over my yellow and red over the next weeks till I can turn it green.
Looking back, they were helpful, in the moment they seemed irrelevant. I think having more pratice intergrated in these lessons to show why it is so important would help students understand it better.
Hi, I'm wondering how to PrepTest equivalent score in calculated after drilling? How accurate is it? I notice sometimes it gives me a fairly high score for 100% correct, even with fairly easy questions. Slightly confused on this and wondering if I should disregard the score. Thanks!
This was a huge issue for me with the first 10-12 questions on sections/tests. My tutor told me to think of these are freebies. The first answer you see is prolly the right one since they are the easier questions. If you change your answer, something needs to 100% be wrong with your first answer to change it. This helped with my second guessing.
Hi everyone! I'm noticing my biggest problem on RC are the implied questions. Any additional tips? Thanks!
Hi everyone. For those who have received accommodations on the LSAT, how long did it take to hear back to get them approved? Should I be taking drills/PT as if I know I have those accommodations, or with standard timing just in case? Thanks!
Hi! I'd love to be able to either manually check off my practice block tasks, or be able to have an option to choose how many pratice tests I do. Some weeks, I cannot do a full practice test and I would like to be able to bypass that.
When youre done with the foundations, 7Sage will generate pratice blocks for you weekly where you can take pratice tests. I took a pratice exam once when I did theory just to gage where I was from my goal score without any real pratice, then started doing them weekly or biweekly after I started the pratice blocks and drilling. Doing to many early can reinforce wrong ideas, so I'd do one then wait!
Hey! I'm navigating this process with my ADHD and also looking for a study budy to hold me accountable. I'm taking the LSAT in April, if you want to study after your January exam feel free to reach out!
I'm wondering what everyone does to warm up and get ready to study or take pratice tests. Any reccomendations would be helpful, thanks!
I find myself between two answers frequently, and I know that is not ideal. When I get them right or wrong, I struggle to understand why. What is the best way to review your answers, understand exactly why an answer is right or wrong, and stay focused during this process?
Hello! I'm very interested, looking to start turtoring after the holidays. Please reach out at your convenience.
Hi everyone! Winter is here, finals are over, and I'm really feeling the lack of motivation. I find myself studying so much but not retaining a lot because I feel like I'm just dragging along. How many hours are you putting in daily? How many days off should I aim for? I feel like I'm constantly catching up.
I really stuggle with this with my ADHD. I'm looking to put together a study group to hold myself and other accountable. if you might be interested feel real to reach out anytime!
Hi everyone! I'm a senior at Washington State and am taking the February, potentially postponed to April, LSAT. As a student with ADHD and dyslexia, I'd love to connect with other students sharing similar learning styles. This exam can feel quite daunting without a learning disability, so adding in that factor can really be discouraging, but I know it is not something that will hold me back from my success. Feel free to contact me on 7sage for my personal contact.
@IsabellaP I think.... this is means they give you a new fact, something that can be right or wrong if the hypothesis is true, but doesn't necessarily give you the right answer, just another link to confuse you. I think you can look at it as an alternative explanation, but not the right answer because it doesn't stay consistant with the hypothesis.
For example:
Hypothesis: “Coffee causes better test scores.”
Trap “new data”: “People who drink coffee often study in the library.”
If coffee truly helps, this could be true.
If coffee does nothing, this could still be true. So it doesn’t prove coffee caused the higher scores—it supports an alternative explanation (studying).
I hope this helps. We got this!


Blue light glasess helped me a lot, and also on breaks seemed silly but blinking very slowy, like 3 seconds per blink and moving my eyes in full slow circles helped me gain some of that focus and eye strength ig you could call it lolz
