honestly, agree with everything everyone has said so far. longer study sessions and snacks will definitely help. i have a more “unorthodox” piece of advice as well:

get rid of doomscrolling. i’m not sure if you’re on social media, but if you are, i think it’d def be wise to delete them for now. doomscrolling tiktoks/reels/youtube shorts/etc. is so detrimental to our attention spans, and replacing it with something more meaningful will take you quite far. i personally replaced my habit with substack, so instead of doomscrolling reels, i end up reading articles, poems, etc. not only am i helping my attention span, but i’m also getting in some practice for reading comp!

this video explains it better than i can LOL:

i hope this helps 🥹

Thank you!

I haven't seen anyone take this approach on this question so here's my take:

I, too, was split on A and D. The reason I chose A over D is because D says "only if each of the commission's members would have signed..." The stim says, "...for the chairperson did not consult any other members of the commission..."

D is saying that the chairperson should have consulted every member of the commission, instead of just any member. Aka, merely checking in with one other commission member would suffice. D is saying, no, you must check in with every member, not just one or two. So I eliminated it.

A, on the other hand, says, "...only if most other members of the commission had..." This lines up with the sentiment in the stim, which means it must be the right answer.

sigh thanks :'(

Would you want to connect outside of 7sage (like on discord maybe?). we should totally chat 🥲

Sigh, needed to hear this. Thanks 🫶

THE EXCEPT GOT ME THIS TIME FUCK

holy shit congrats

@DaisyVidana real asf

@Adam Yeah, same story here! I even got to small talk with the other test takers.

I've struggled with anxiety for years. One little blip in my schedule throws off my whole day. <y brain tends to conjure up "anxiety monsters" that aren't even really there in the first place (ex. Recently, I've been depressed/anxious thinking that my life is over since I didn't get into any law school this year, and that I'll never amount to anything. I've spent many nights ruminating over this horrible thought. For context, I am 22. I also graduated magna cum laude recently. 1.) My life has barely started and 2.) I am far more accomplished than my anxiety wants me to believe.)

I, of course, have struggled with LSAT anxiety as well. Lots of it. I want to let you know that you are not alone, and that loads of other students on here feel the exact same way.

The best advice I can give you is to stop giving the LSAT so much power. I know it's hard, but in reality? It's just a damn exam. You've probably taken hella exams in your lifetime. Though it wouldn't be ideal, you can retake the LSAT up to 7 times anyway. There are more important things in this life than worrying over an exam. Your health is more important than this exam, for instance. You have the power over this exam, not the other way around. Even if the worst case scenario happens (which is what our anxious brains like to dwell on, I know), you'd still be completely fine! Yeah, you'd probably feel really sh*tty, and that you wasted $200+ (I'm assuming) , but guess what, you'd still be alive and well. You'd pick yourself back up and try again. You'll earn that money back. And that is what matters. It isn't, and won't ever be, game over for you. As long as you're breathing, you can crush the LSAT, even if it takes all 7 attempts.

Dwelling on this anxiety won't help, and I know it's easier said than done, but let it roll off you. Don't give these thoughts any power, just brush them off like you would brush off some dust. You have put in the hard work, and you are damn capable. Don't let anybody, even yourself, convince you otherwise. You are still human, and your scores will reflect that. Fluctuations are a part of the process, don't let it spook you. What matters is that you've done -3 to -5, and can do it again!

Sending love. We're all in this together.

this is so wonderful, thanks for sharing :')

@BrianBond I think it helps to think of these things like a diva... hear me out.

You read a passage, and you go, "mkay, why should I give a f***?" If you give a f*** about something, that means that thing has persuaded you, which is what arguments do. The main point of an argument is to give you something to give a f*** about.

Q1 doesn't really give us anything to give a f*** about. The passage is just a bunch of trivia, if that makes sense. It doesn't persuade us to believe in anything. What about the pigs' teeth, then? Why should I give a f*** if there are growth rings with varying widths, etc? There is no argument made.

In Q4, for example, the passage is giving you something to give a f*** about:

"Before the banks raised their interest rates, people on average incomes could almost afford a mortgage for an amount twice their salary..."

Mkay, why should I give a f***?

"...The rate increase has now put mortgages beyond their reach."

I know it's silly and might even confuse you more, but I do hope it helps at least somebody out there... I know this kind of thinking helps me personally and makes the LSAT more accessible for my brain. :P

@SarahLyse it is a good sign that you're on the right track :)

@GGG omg you get me twin

aiming for my third LSAT in november... fingers crossed. scored 149 on my first one back in september 2025, and 152 on my second one back in january. so happy to know i'm not alone in this struggle.
