I just finished taking PT 153 and got 160

Hi everyone! While I've been performing reasonably well on the LR section, I'd love to get more practice with diagramming. Does anyone have suggestions or recommendations for lesson library videos? I've been working through the lesson videos and practicing alongside them, but I'm open to any additional resources or tips!

Hey all! I am looking to book a tutor for 2 or 3 sessions before I take the June LSAT. If you have any recommendations or have some openings please comment! Anything under 100 dollars a session would be great. Good luck to everyone who is taking it soon!

I am stuck at a Pt level around 148. My worst subjects are Phenomenon-hypothesis (LR) Which am the absolute worst on & Casual Reasoning. I have watched the videos and drilled and It is still a foreign language after 2 months. I don't understand Why I cant just grasp the concept and its starting to feel like Im never going to understand it. The breakdown for the videos don't help me either because some of them just assume I know what's going on.

Good Afternoon,

As I have begun my journey with studying for the LSAT, I currently am in the foundations of my study plan. I simply would like to ask, should I begin joining Live/Recorded classes, or would this be to early. I find myself being able to identify premises/conclusions, but find difficulty in the stimulus and how to exactly choose the correct answer.

For background I have just reached the context section.

Thanks,

Nikk

Studying for the June exam, but i'm definitely re-sitting in August since this would be my first exam (+ averaging low 160s right now) If there's anyone in the Tallahassee, FL area that would like to study together sometime this summer I'm so down!!

This is probably me being totally unreasonable, but what are the chances that LSAC intentionally makes the June 2026 LSAT harder since it is the last LSAT being administered virtually and record number of people are estimated to take the June test? Am legit scared that they might up the difficulty for curving purposes, etc.

My accolades are above, but here's a few more: students of mine have gone on to break into the 170's, and have been accepted to Colombia, The University of Chicago, Stanford, and Harvard.

I was where you are now: I had a test to crush and a gulf between my skills and achieving that T-14 goal score. Well, I did what any person would do who didn't know what they were doing; I went searching for advice from people who had already achieved success. I read for hours and hours, the accounts of people who had received perfect and near perfect scores. Their advice had a very few common threads:

-Find a major prep company and completely work through all of their strategy lessons and drills

-Take many sections and tests both in untimed and timed formats

-Blind review all timed tests (taking them again entirely without a timer)

-Carefully dissect all incorrectly answered questions

At the time, the LSAT was still on paper and so explanations for LSAT questions were scarce. This was to my benefit and it can be to yours as well. That means relying on the explanations of 7Sage should only be done after you've exhausted considerable effort trying to dissect the questions yourself, given the correct answer. If 7Sage's explanation doesn't make sense or you are curious to hear a question explained in a different way, well that's what a tutor is for! I'll add just one bit advice to that which I found in my research: learn and understand any vocab word related to argumentation that the LSAT uses, which you are unfamiliar with.

If you'd like a tutor to help you through the rough patches and plateaus, I'm eager to join you where you're at on your LSAT journey. I use an "I do, we do, you do" approach to new materials. I'll model the appropriate techniques, whether that means stem analysis, argument analysis, passage annotation, answer prediction, answer choice selection, or trap answer analysis. From there I'll check to see if you've got the basics and ask you to take the next step at various points. Then it will be your job to walk us through an example. Finally, I'll only observe as you begin a new example and work through it beginning to end, giving my analysis or commentary at the end.

Sessions are typically two hours, once or twice a week depending on availability and the student's timeline. We'll often spend the first third/half of the session reviewing any questions that have been flagged for review by you. From there we'll jump into new materials.

My hourly rate changes based on whether you buy a package of hours or seek to pay session by session. It is as follows:

20 hour package - $70/hr

10 hour package - $80/hr

Session by session - $90hr

Hi guys,

I was wondering if anyone can help me in closing the score gap (Timed vs. BR).

I've been seeing some improvement but I am concerned if this indicates more of shaky foundations rather than just time pressure.

Any tips or advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

Hello! I am looking for just one or two sessions with a tutor before my June lsat. Although I am highly motivated and improved 19 points from my diagnostic to my highest PT score, I am a low income student and have been self studying. I find myself unable to get the couple of points needed to hit 170. I know this is an abnormal request, but would anyone be willing to tutor me for free or a very reduced price for a little bit? Perhaps someone who is just starting to tutor and would like some experience? It would mean so much to me. I am a hard worker and it would not go to waste. I'm just unfortunately not in the best position to pay for a tutor, which is a barrier for me to get the score I know I can achieve. To this day I still recognize mentors who uplifted me in my hardest moments and helped me get to where I am today. Thank you.

Good morning everybody,

Very excited to join the 7Sage community as an independent tutor. I’ve already noticed a lot of discussion around reading comprehension and RC strategy on the board, so I thought I’d share one of the biggest mindset shifts that tends to help students improve RC performance.

A lot of students approach RC as if they need to focus on everything in the passage equally. In reality, strong RC is usually much more about reading for the Big Picture.

What does that mean?

Primarily, it means identifying the author’s thesis and the major supporting reasons that develop that thesis. That’s the backbone of comprehension. Once you can consistently see that structure, the passage starts to feel much more organized, predictable, and manageable.

But importantly, reading for the big picture does not mean skipping details or vaguely skimming. You still read every sentence carefully. The difference is the level of focus given to each sentence based on its role within the larger structure of the passage.

That approach helps create the “one read” we’re ultimately looking for: a read that gives us the Big Picture while also preparing us to efficiently return to the passage for more specific questions.

Part of this is mindset, and part of it is technique. Like most LSAT skills, it becomes more natural with structured practice and repetition.

Happy to discuss further or answer questions if anybody wants to talk RC.

Hi! I’ve been self-studying for the LSAT since January. I started with the Insight LSAT YouTube course to build fundamentals, then worked through The Loophole by Ellen Cassidy, supplementing both with LawHub Advantage PTs. This month, I also added 7Sage for drilling and analytics.

I’m registered for the June exam and starting to feel a bit stuck/panicked. My highest timed PT has been a 166, with recent scores mostly in the low 160s, but my blind review scores are consistently in the mid-170s. The reasoning ability seems to be there — I’m just struggling to close the gap under timed conditions.

I’m hoping a few hours of tutoring could help me strengthen my strategy, improve timing/execution, and better translate my understanding into my timed performance. I’m aiming for the highest score possible for scholarship opportunities, and I know my current timed scores don’t fully reflect my potential.

If anyone thinks they could help and has availability before the June exam, please comment or message me! I’m also definitely on a budget haha, so even a few targeted sessions/advice would be hugely appreciated.

Hey guys!! What are some lessons and recordings that can help with Phenom - Hypothesis?

That one was… wow. Did my average on the LR, about-2, but that RC kicked my ass. I normally do pretty well on RC, but that one had me begging for mercy.

I have consistently gotten 6-9 questions wrong on my first attempt, but on Blind Review, I get 5-0, which is right where I would like to be! The blind review assures me that I can get to that sweet spot for my preferred score, but im having a hard time closing this gap!

I actively teach myself what I did wrong in my wrong-answer journal and review with intention. How can I close this gap? I'm I crazy for thinking that my BR score is actually possible??

Also wondering if i should hire a tutor to help me with this skill? recs or opinions??

Thanks #help

I just scored a 177 on PT121.

I took practice tests 79 and 80 early on into my studying so as to avoid burning through the more recent tests before I felt ready. I'm now starting to work my way through the more recent tests in preparation for my sitting in June. I was pretty disappointed to find out that Test 79 was identical to Test 148 (at least as far as I got into it), and then the same thing happened between Test 80 and Test 149 (admittedly, I didn't make it as far into this test). And then earlier today, I randomly took Test 26 because I wanted more practice, only to find that one of the RC passages was identical to one that I had just taken from Test 103.

I'm not exactly sure how this whole thing works, but it's inconvenient to keep running into repeats when I'm trying to simulate test conditions. Can someone explain whether there's any method to this madness and whether there's anything I can do to avoid double-dipping?

I've been struggling a lot with MP RC questions lately. Been working on trying new strategies to get better, but it would be helpful if I could drill old passages and only answer the MP question - that way I could stack a ton back to back and test my new methods without getting bogged down by other questions. It got me thinking it would be helpful to customize RC drills so I could choose to only have one question type show up, so I could focus on refining that specific skill - even if that meant only answering one question after a passage.

It would even just be helpful to filter passages that have certain question types.

Thank you! Wishing everyone the best of luck in the home stretch.

For LSAT Logical Reasoning, is there any answer choice letter (A/B/C/D/E) that appears slightly more often on released tests? If I run out of time and need to blind guess on 1–2 questions, is there a statistically better letter to use, or is that basically a myth? My RC Powerscore book says D for RC and I saw someone say B/D for 1-20 and then the last 5-6 E for LR, but that info was years ago

Hi Everyone, I am desperate for advice, tips or tricks, or words of encouragement, for how to get QUICKER at the test. I have been studying for over 3 months now, and I feel like I understand the questions/question types. I am just slow. Sometimes I have to reread a stimulus a couple times to fully understand it. Or I am not 100% confident on an answer so I look through the other options a little longer. My biggest obstacle currently is my speed (or lack thereof). It is veryyyy rare for me to answer a question at target time and EVEN RARER to answer under target time.

Looking forward to responses! Thanks yall!

Lately, during practice, I have noticed that I keep getting flaw questions wrong but I cannot identify exactly why. Every time I look at the ACs, I can think of a reason why a few of them could be the answer and struggle in choosing the best AC. Anyone struggling with this too and have any tips?

New 7Sage user here. I plan on taking the LSAT in August and was trying to make a specialized study plan with that date in mind. But the farthest LSAT date I can put in my study plan is the June LSAT.

Will this change soon?

Hi everyone!

I’ll be hosting a free LR study group tonight at 7:30 PM EST. I’ll be covering one of the most effective techniques for eliminating trap answers on Parallel and Parallel Flaw questions.

hi guys! i'm taking the june LSAT in exactly two weeks from this day. i've been getting in the 176-177 range for the past four tests, and even got a 180 recently. however, i didn't study for two weeks and got a 174. i know also it's common to drop a few points on the actual test due to nerves. should i be too worried??? i don't want to torture myself with only two weeks left but i'm also disappointed in the drop. eep!!!

(i know, objectively, these are good scores, but i have a C&F statement and really need a full-ride, and want to get into a t14 school).

Hi! I've been stuck in the mid 160s and I know how important it is to take time and review wrong answers. I just don't feel like I have enough time with drilling included. Would it be productive to take a week to just go through questions I've flagged? Or maybe take one day each week just for review?
