Hello Everyone!
I'm one of the managers here at 7Sage, and I wanted to take a moment to talk to you about one of 7Sage's best-kept secrets: the 7Sage Tutoring Program.
Our tutors use 7Sage’s industry-leading LSAT analytics to create a study schedule tailored to your needs. Whether you’re struggling with the logic games, logical reasoning, or reading comprehension, and whether you’re shooting for a 150, a 180, or anything in between, we’ll identify the barriers to your success and address them one-by-one.
With 7Sage LSAT tutoring, you get:

@ They will be! We haven't finished the interface for viewing them yet, but we will announce it when we do!
We noticed that a lot of our buttons and icons have gone missing making it very difficult / impossible to navigate through some parts of the site like the Drills and the Lessons pages. We're tracking down the issue right now and hoping to get it fixed asap.
Sorry about this! I'll update as soon as I have more information!
Update
We've found a fallback solution, and we're deploying it now. We estimate that the fix will be live in about five minutes. The site will still have a variety of visual oddities, but it will be functional.
The issue was caused by an outage from our icon provider, and it won't be resolved completely until they fix things on their end.
Thank you for patience!
Update 2
Solution is deployed! Drills, PTs and the Curriculum should be functional now (though they may still look a bit funky). Let us know if you are still experiencing issues.
Hey 7Sagers!
We are excited to announce a new program here at 7Sage: Live Classes!
Beginning September 5th we will be offering a full slate of weekly classes taught by our team of elite instructors covering every section of the LSAT. What's more, we've decided to offer these class for free for the first 4 weeks. You can check out our schedule of classes here:
https://classic.7sage.com/events/
Additionally, you can view recordings of the classes here:
https://classic.7sage.com/live-class-archive/
A new subscription level will be available on Oct. 3 for continued access to Live Classes beyond the free 4-week period.
Update 9/22:
We're entering the final week of free access for Live Class. Starting on Oct. 3, continued access to Live Class and archives will only be available to Monthly + Live subscribers. Also, we plan to offer subscriptions for only +$30 for the first few months!
@ Yes, they are continuations of each other (same instructor and general topic, but different material). The classes are designed such that you should be able to follow them even if you haven't viewed previous sessions.
I worked full-time (and was a full-time dad) for my entire study period. Here are a few tips that helped me:
Consistency > Quantity It is better to study 2 hours a day, every day, than 8 hours a day two days a week and then not touch the LSAT again until next week. Make a schedule, put it in your calendar and stick to it as much as possible!
Prioritize the stuff that improves your score If your study time is limited, it is important to make sure to prioritize the activities that actively improve your score (drills, study, blind review, analyzing your wrong answers, etc.) over those that merely keep you busy (combing the forums/Reddit looking for study ideas).
Set aside a "Study Space" Study in a place that minimizes distractions. Turn off the phone, kill your notifications on your browser and make sure that each hour you study is actually an hour studying, rather than "40 minutes of study with 4 distractions that ate up 5 minutes each." Coordinating with the people you live with (if any) can really help with this one.
Finally, if you've got limited time and a big score increase you need to make, consider looking into tutoring! In addition to helping you strengthen your performance on the test, our tutors also create a custom study plan for you that will guide you through every hour of study you have available. Being able to off-load the planning and analyzing tasks to an expert will let you focus on those activities that actual improve your score.
If you'd like to learn more, I'd be happy to meet with you for a consult! You can book with me here: https://calendly.com/scott-milam/7sage-tutoring-consult
@ It really depends on how well you do on blind review! If your blind review score is high, that suggests that you understand the material enough, and that your real issue in timing. In that event, drilling your weakness is the route to success.
However, if your blind review is still below your goal score, that suggests that you are still missing some key concepts and will need to study more before you can expect to achieve that score.
If you'd like some advice more specific to your situation, consider hiring one of our tutors! We can help you develop a study plan based on your unique strengths and weakness and then guide you through the drills and concepts that will get you to your score! If you'd like to learn more, you can schedule a free consultation with one of our tutors here: https://calendly.com/7sage-consult/7sage-tutoring-free-consult?utm_source=SM_Direct
I would start taking 1-2 PTs a week while actively foolproofing as many games as possible. During my study time, I took an 2 LGs sections a week in addition to the PTs. That should give you plenty of games to chew on!
As you do so, make sure you are aiming for efficiency as well as accuracy! A 1- or 2-star game that took you 10 mins to complete is often worse than if you had completed the same game and missed 1-2 questions, since you had to steal time from game 4 to complete it!
If you'd like some help developing a study plan that will help you to master LG, consider hiring one of our tutors! We create customized study plans for each of our clients, and can help you master LG in record speed!

Two things I recommend:
You can use legal size (8.5x14) paper on the test. That's a 25% increase in size!
Use both sides of the paper and be organized! If you plan how you'll lay out each game and the questions, you shouldn't need more than 1 side of paper per game.
Hope that helps!
We have a new post on our 7Sage LSAT Newsletter! In this edition, 7Sage Tutor Claire Sullivan discusses how to know if you are ready to take the test. You can read it here:

Hey 7Sagers,
Exciting news! We've upgraded our testing platform to include the option to practice the newly structured August 2024 LSAT format (LR/LR/RC). Now, when you're taking a preptest, you can choose from the following versions:
We're thrilled to offer this enhancement to our platform, ensuring you have the most relevant and up-to-date tools for your LSAT prep no matter which version of the test you're targeting.
Warm regards,
The 7Sage Team
@ Looks like you tried to log on an hour early. Times are all in EST!
Just posted a (temporary) archive page for our live classes. You can view recorded classes here for now:
https://classic.7sage.com/live-class-archive/
@-1 Go to 7sage.com/events (or mouse-over the "New" tag in the navigation above)
@ Classes are free to everyone this month, but will only be available to Monthly+Live subscribers starting next month
@ Oof. That is a typo. "Filling in the Gap" will be on Mondays starting 9/12, not Sundays. I've corrected the error! Sorry!
@ Short answer - your chart isn't wrong, but it is misleading...
I often find it helpful to replace symbols with real-world categories when talk about things like this. It makes it so much more clear! So for this, I'll use "Dogs" for "A" and "Mammals" for "B."
We know that if something is a dog, then it is a mammal (A > B ). Since that is true, it also implies the other relationships on your chart:
If something is not a mammal, it is not a dog (the contrapositive, ~B > ~A)
Most dogs are mammals (most A > B )
Most not mammals are not dogs (~B (most) > ~A)
Some dogs are mammals (some A > B )
Some not mammals are not dogs (~B (some) > ~A) (NOTE: I assume the original text is a typo, it flips this ~A and ~B )
However, it is important to note that these are all implied from the fact that all dogs are mammals (A > B ). If that isn't the case, we cannot make the same inferences. This becomes pretty obvious if we replace A and B with terms for which A > B is not true. For instance, replace A with "houses" and B with "one story houses."
Most houses are one story houses (A most > B ). But that doesn't mean that the "contrapositive" (its not a REAL contrapositive) is true. "Most non-one-story houses are not houses" (~B most > ~A) is clearly false.
That's why I don't like this chart - it LOOKS like everything in the left column is equivalent to the right column. But in reality, everything in the table is really all derived from the top-left cell (A > B ) and cannot be relied upon otherwise.
Hope that helps!
@-1 We should have the archive page up later this week (possibly by tomorrow!) I'll post it here when it's live!
@ This might be more clear:
You can purchase the standard Monthly subscription for $69/mo (as always)
You can now also purchase Live for an additional $30 (for a total of $99/mo)
You cannot subscribe to live without the monthly subscription.
@ It's hard to say without knowing more about which sections you are struggling with. If you'd like, you can schedule a consult with one of our tutors and they will go over your analytics and let you know what they think!

@
I'm so sorry! I've just sent you the welcome email, and I'm checking with our staff about what happened.
Sorry for the delay! Message me if you have any other issues!
@ My general advice to my clients would be to do both! It is generally better to aim for a slight improve across multiple sections of the test than to sink all of your energy into just one.
In your case, you need to improve by about 7 questions in order to achieve your goal score. Given that, I would aim to improve LG by 2, LR by 2 and RC by 3 before your September test. Start by foolproofing LG aggressively, targeting your weak question types in LR, and slowing down a bit on reading the passage to boost your accuracy.
If you'd like some additional help, our tutors offer free consultations where we review your analytics, as well as explain how our tutoring program works. You can book one here:

Good luck!
My name is Scott Milam and I am one of the managers of the 7Sage LSAT Tutoring program (find out more here: https://classic.7sage.com/lsat-tutoring/).
As we enter the last week before the November exam, I just wanted to share some last-minute exam-prep tips to the 7Sage community.
SLOW DOWN - The LSAT isn’t a chemistry final where you can cram the periodic table the night before. It’s a mental marathon that tests your ability to perform under pressure. The worst thing you can do is show up on test day mentally exhausted. Relax, slow down the pace of your studying and let your tired brain recover.
STAY IN SHAPE - While it would be a mistake to overwork yourself the week before the test, you don’t want to completely let yourself go either. Take 1-2 timed sections a day to keep yourself in fighting shape. One section should be Logic Games and the other should alternate between LR and RC. Don’t worry about scoring them - the point of these exercises isn’t to get perfect scores but just to keep your timing from getting rusty.
PRACTICE THE WAY YOU PLAY - Take your practice tests and timed sections in the same setting as you will take the real LSAT. Use the same computer, the same lighting, the same pencils and take it at the same time of day as your real test. Take your timed sections on the Lawhub interface. This will improve your retention on test day and reduce your anxiety by tricking your brain into thinking the LSAT is just another practice test. It will also help you identify any problems with your setup before the big day.
RELAX - Anxiety is your worst enemy on test day. The best preparation you can do in the last week is lower your ambient anxiety levels. Set aside intentional time to relax. Spend time with family or pets, meditate, go on a walk, or get a massage. If possible, reduce your use of stimulants in the week before the test (don’t go cold turkey, but ease off the red bull and double espressos).
GAME DAY PREPARATIONS - The night before the test, get a good night’s sleep. Eat a good breakfast and run a last minute tech check on your computer and network. Gather all your test day items (water, mirror, paper and pencils). When you log in, politely ask the proctor to pause your time if they need to talk to you during the test.
Finally, from all of us at 7Sage, good luck next week!
Scott Milam
Manager at 7Sage
@ Yes, that's no problem! Just as long as you had time to take the section first!
@ You can still join (as long as you have time to take the section)!

To sign up, visit this link: https://classic.7sage.com/lsat-live-class/
For any questions, feel free to comment below and the instructors will be sure to answer!
@ We should be posting a new one before the end of the week. I will be on 7sage.com/events and will be held in September!
You've spent months foolproofing games, sharpening your conditional logic and reading endless passages about aboriginal handcrafts in preparation for the LSAT. You are ready to sit the exam when you get the email from LSAC saying, "You must complete the LSAT Writing section before receiving your score."
Don't stress, we here at 7Sage have you covered! We offer a 100% free guide to the LSAT Writing section that explains what it is, how you can prepare for it and whether it matters at all!

@
If you are struggling with timing and need to close the gap between your BR and actual score, the key question to answer is "Where am I spending my time?"
Most users with timing issues have at least a few questions where they misspent their time. Look in your analytics for questions with long green or red tails (i.e. questions where you stuck around after picking your answer). Also look for hard questions that you spent several minutes on. These are all places where time was spent inefficiently.
Next, I'd look at how long it is taking you to complete the first half of each section of the test. The first two games on LG, two passage on RC and first 15 questions of LR are generally more formulaic, and thus easier, than the rest of those sections. I encourage my students to finish these in ~15 min, leave ~20 min for the back half of the section. If you are taking longer than that, drilling easy questions/games/passages for speed is the way to go.
Of course, this is all very general advice! If you'd like more help, you might consider speaking to one of our tutors. We specifically train them to address timing issues, and they'd be able to go over your analytics with a fine-toothed comb and give you individualized advice. You can book a consult with one here if you're interested:
