@RamiGhozeil only 2-3 on my work days and on weekend I would try and do timed sections/tests. I worked full-time as well as went to college full-time through my study journey so I found it difficult to get in consistent hours but I tried my best!

@leahbonsignore I too was frustrated that I did not get it as quickly as others. For me as a first gen student I feel so much pressure and I am just so happy that I was able to tackle the LSAT and even get into law school. While my score is not glamorous to some, the fact that it was good enough to get me in to my top school is enough satisfaction for me and knowing I did my best. You got this! It might take a long time but when you’re through you will feel so happy with yourself. There is light at the end of the tunnel :)

@ArianaCrumpe95 I feel you. I was stuck in the 130’s for the longest time. I know this doesn’t work for everyone but I literally drilled so many questions. I just drilled and drilled and really sat with the question to understand why the answer is what it is. Doing that helped me notice that there are patterns in the LSAT questions they just switch up the subjects/names! Also the 7 sage You-Tube videos helped a lot!!

😊 Happy

THANK YOU 7 SAGE

I found out yesterday that I got accepted into my dream school with a scholarship. I am beyond thrilled and pleasantly surprised that I was accepted. I will be starting law school this fall in August!

I post this as a word of encouragement to those who may be doubting themselves at the moment. My LSAT journey was not easy but looking back I am so happy that I went through everything that I did.

With a diagnostic score of 133 I knew that my journey to law school would be difficult. I took my first LSAT in September of 2025 after studying for nearly a year. I did not score well at all and my plans to apply early were crushed. I was no longer confident that I would even get to attend law school.

I decided to get back on the saddle and change my study plan to 7 Sage from LSAT demon and studied since the September LSAT all the way to this past June. I signed up and took the LSAT again at the last minute in June. I knew it was a long shot because the one school I wanted to go to was accepting applications only through July 15th as my timeline was cutting it extremely close with classes starting in just a few weeks.

I performed much better on my June LSAT and I wearily submitted my application July 3rd. I found out yesterday that I got in!

I give all the glory and praise to God, and I give a special thanks to 7 Sage for helping me achieve my dreams.

Good luck to everyone! YOU CAN DO HARD THINGS.

Hey there,

Recognition like this takes time. I've been on my LSAT journey for around 1.5 years, and it took me a while to gain that speed when analyzing premises and conclusions. I once heard on an LSAT podcast that to train your mind for that mode, you need to keep getting into the habit of making those conclusions in your head. Before you even look at the answer choices, I try to predict the answer just by reading the stimuli right off the bat. Any guess is better than no guess. Once you get into the habit of coming up with something that makes sense to you, given the premises and conclusions, I can almost guarantee you will slowly start to see your predictions in the answer choices.

The second thing I will add is that I also struggled with it at first. Take away the clock, don't focus on how long it takes you to get a question right. Speed comes with accuracy and time. I would literally sit there during drill and take an hour to do just a few problems because I was making myself sit until I could understand the question inside and out, especially why the correct answer choice was the correct one.

Coming from someone who had a 133 diagnosis. I took my first test in September of last year and scored a 146, a significant jump from having no idea what to expect and minimal practice due to a lack of resources. With that said, I felt extremely defeated after my first score release and had to delay my application cycle because I thought I'd definitely do better on the actual test. News flash... I did not do better. My advice would be to do what I did: take time to digest your score, take a 1-2 week break from any LSAT stuff at all. After your break, go back to basics, make sure you understand the fundamentals (of your problem areas, if applicable), then start ramping back up studying as you prepare for your next test. I followed that exact process and am now PT'ing in the low 160s, which gives me a high chance of getting into the school I want to go to. Best of luck to you in your studying, remember this test does not define you!!

if you keep it, it can help show improvement over your LSAT administrations. Like schools will be able to see your improvement from 160-170 but that of course is contingent on you doing better the second time. I got a 146 my first LSAT and did not cancel to show my progression over time. If I were you I would cancel only if you are concerned that you will not see a significant improvement in scores based on your PT, etc. Best of luck to you!

@MB304 basically you take a practice section, drill, or test like normal and after you do blind review and see all the questions. It gives you a predictive score based on your performance!

😖 Frustrated

Are the Predicted Scores Accurate?

Hi everyone! I recently started paying attention to the new feature that predicts your score based on performance in drills and section. I know that it isn't always a perfect predictor of your score but I am curious if anyone has seen similar results to their predicted score on their practice tests/actual LSAT scores?

I took my first LSAT in September and scored way lower than I hoped. I scored a 146 but am planning on retaking in June and I have been getting consistent ranges in the upper 150 and 160's I am just curious how accurate this might be.

Thank you and good luck to everyone in their study journey!
