It was not until I discovered the analytics binning tool where you can change the window of time in your testing/drilling data that I realized I was making actual progress.

For months I have been thinking my comprehension is getting worse. Until I narrowed the gap to the past two months. I have done about 2,000 questions in the course of 10 months (intermittently studying when I have time). That stat was heavily weighing on the percentages I have been anchoring my comprehension to. When in fact, over the past 2 months I have made a 23% comprehension increase in the past 400 questions compared to the past 8 months of questions (~1,600 questions).

All that to say, I am incredibly proud of my more regimented study path, and I am pleasantly surprised by this information. But also, I am not because the sense of this test and its nuance is becoming so much clearer with each day I drill.

It seems like all over the internet, there are anecdotes saying it takes about 4-6 months to break 170+. However, this seems strange to me because it is not super accurate.

I have a theory that it takes about 600 good hours of studying on average to break 170+. 600 actual recorded study hours, not including breaks and zoning out.

Thought?

Hello LSAT community!

I am writing to inquire about the accuracy and reliability of the "PT equivalent" calculation that is shown for drills and sections. Obviously if the sample size is larger it'll be more accurate and representative, and so the full lengths are more accurate, but how accurate is the ratings for during individual PT sections done in drills?

I ask because it would be nice to know whether I can be using these a guide for my progress. If I am averaging these PT equivalent scores around 160 with the range usually between 155-165, are these to be taken as progress indicators where I can expect to score around a 160?

For context, I am aiming for a 165 in the August LSAT, had a diagnostic of 149, and did my first real PT this week and got a 159. I understand I need to do more PT to get a good idea of my progress, but that is also why I am curious if I can put any weight into the PT equivalent scores during drills as I get those scores more frequently than the full PT scores.

Any tips or comments on how you use this metric would be helpful!

🎮 We just released two new games! Head over to https://7sage.com/games to check them out.

Expecto Negation — Build the exact negation of each enemy statement before it reaches your castle.

Logic Links — Sort 16 statements into 4 groups that secretly say the same conditional.

These join the four already in the lineup:

Logic Blitz — Judge whether an argument is valid. Practice your conditional and quantifier logic.

Flaw Hunter — Match the two arguments that commit the same logical flaw.

Argument ER — Diagnose the missing link in a conditional argument, then supply the assumption that makes it valid.

Numbers Blitz — Decide whether the numbers support the conclusion. No math involved.

💬 We welcome feedback on any of them! Just mention the game by name so we know which one you mean.

Just got an official 179!!! I am officially Elle Woods and can now die happily. Thank you 7Sage!! See you in the forums when admissions open

Hey guys! Hope everyone is doing well in their studies. I wanted to quickly share that I am offering limited free tutoring to those who are just getting started with the LSAT or to those in the sub-160's looking to improve!

I consistently score in the mid-160's (on PT"s and official exams), have gotten -0's on multiple practice sections, and am looking to break into the 170's by September.

I would love to share the skills I have learned in my (almost) one full year of studying for the LSAT, as well as refine my skills going into the September exam.

If you think one-on-one tutoring would benefit you, just want a study partner, or maybe want to vent about the LSAT, please don't hesitate to reach out!

are drills completed in lessons/study plan included in our overall analytics or is it just drills that we do ourselves/adaptive drill?

Hello, looking for people in NYC that are studying for the lsat and are struggling to stay consistent and focused.

So we can be a support system for all of us and meet at least once per week to drill, study and discuss

Hi there. I'm wondering if anyone else in this thread has used up all 5 LSAT attempts, and has any advice in approaching the final one.

I'm someone who has been PTing in the 170s since September 2025. I feel as if I know the test well enough to tutor others in it and have been very active in the discussion threads, etc. Regardless, my exam scores have never translated on the real thing. I'm not sure if anyone relates -- but it is definitely a soul crushing, stomach sinking feeling.

I only have one retake left, and am really scared to have the same thing happen again, especially with the new format changes and now having to go in person. Has anyone else taken all 5, and finally reflected their abilities the 5th time?

Feeling kinda lost and hopeless :(, particularly as I'm unable to diagnose what goes wrong on my real tests. It genuinely feels like someone else is sitting in the chair on exam day. Maybe burnout, maybe at one point going too slow, another too fast. I really don't know.

I got 169 on the real test in April (PT scores in my profile were taken in the beginning of the prep. I usually work on sections and don't take PT). In the past month, I was consistently getting -1 (and sometimes -2) wrong per LR section. My blind review had long been -0. But several days ago, I suddenly got -6 in an LR section under the same circumstance, which is the score I got when I started prepping in February, and I've been getting a lot more questions wrong than before. I'm also no longer getting -0 in BR.

When I was getting consistently near perfect scores, wrong answers were from the questions I felt confident about and moved on. Upon doing a review, I'd find out that I neglected one but important word (e.g., "less," which makes a statement comparative), and it seems like I'm now making same errors four to six times per section. And I even make this error again during the BR, only to figure out what I was overlooking during the review of BR.

I'm thinking I must be burnt out. But I honestly don't know what to do about it. If I were a student, I'd take a week off, feel recovered, and come back, but I work full-time in the military. I consistently work 12 hours a day, often responds to the last minute request from the top, and I have no fanciness to study at work most of time. And the workplace drama wears me out. I also have a staff duty this weekend and needs to wake up at 3:30 am on Saturday to go to work. lol So I don't think I'd feel recovered at all even after getting rest from LSAT for a week or so.

Moreover, I barely have time to study during the week, so I just drill five or so questions before I go to bed. So I feel like I don't study enough, and I don't feel comfortable just not studying (especially when not studying doesn't help with recovering from a burnout, as I mentioned above).

If you're a non-trad full-time worker, how did you manage burnout that comes from work, not just an LSAT prep? It's not like I can take a break from work like I take a break from LSAT, and I have another LSAT coming up in August. I honestly don't know what to do.

Need some advice. I scored a 164 on the LSAT. The school I'm applying to a school that has a median LSAT of 161 and a 3.8 GPA, while I have a 3.7 GPA from a less well-known school. I'm considering retaking the LSAT to try for a higher score since i really want a full ride, im considering retaking it. About 18% of admitted students receive full scholarships in this school. Do you guys think it's worth retaking?

Hi all, we're hosting a bunch of office hours today because of score release yesterday. Here's the schedule. Come if you have any questions related to June score release!

If you just got your score back and you're wondering where to apply, head on over to our law school section and click "Build my school list" in the upper-right corner.

The feature isn't perfect yet, but it already builds on our admission consultants' expertise. Feedback is very welcome!

Hello,

Yesterday, I received my official June 2026 LSAT score, (147), and lets just say I am both disappointed and frustrated after studying for some months. But, I am not surprised. I didn't test well in the center, I didn't read well during the Reading Comprehension section and honestly, I don't think I studied correctly. Well, not at least until the last month. I had been scoring on my practice tests a 152, and while not great, it was enough to get me into my choice law school in this upcoming cycle.

I have a 3.89 GPA, I published a scholarly legal research article through my University Undergrad Law Review Journal and won several awards because of it. I have volunteered every weekend for 4 years, started my own non-profit, and worked a full-time job in special education where I have directly organized dozens of programs with understanding the compliance requirements in my states. I hold an Associates degree with honors.

I have never been a good standardized test taker, but I do not want that history of poor test taking to limit my opportunity for law school, and perhaps more importantly scholarship money that is on the table. I am unsure where to start.

I underperfomed on the June LSAT. I want to start all over again and dedicate more time and energy to get my desired score. However, I don't really know what my next steps should be other than keep drilling, blind reviewing, and PTing.

So I wanted to ask those who have more experience than me on this test what things helped them out tremendously. My biggest dream is to break into the 170s. I know that I can do it, and I know it takes a lot of work. The problem is that I don't know how to get there. I feel as if my studying process is not good enough since I haven't seen a major improvement. What can I do?

Any tip would be highly appreciated.

Hey hey!

Any Latinas starting to process of getting into their legal careers, or deep in LSAT studying? I wanted to create a space to connect, debrief, help each other, and maybe even do some study sessions together. I know we're out there, and regardless of where you are in this process know that I'm so F-ing proud of you!!!

PRACTICE DOES PAY OFF! I've been studying for this test for 3+ years, but I finally got into the real groove of things this past year. I am aiming for a 170+ on August's administration, and I started off with an official score of 152. Be patient. Be diligent. Rome wasn't built in a day.

There is already a Most Recent feature on drills but I always want to redo the questions I had seen the longest time ago so I have to scroll all the way to the bottom. Can we add a Least Recent feature to make this easier?

Going through the core curriculum, I am understanding that a huge part of WSE questions is understanding and recognizing assumptions the authors make in the stimulus. But I am having immense difficulty trying to do so. Anyone have any tips for getting better at this?

After scoring back-to-back 173s on PT128, PT138, and PT147, I finally broke 175, scoring a 176 on PT149!! Highest score I've achieved thus far. Hoping I continue to see progress before August. Best of luck to everyone!! Happy studying

Hey folks,

I got my June score back, and it was as I expected based on the difficulty of the exam. However, I’ve taken nearly all of the “modern” LSAT practice exams and all of the recent ones. I am kind of puzzled as to how to prepare for the real thing, because it has become very different from the last exam administration we have materials from (2020).

I was shocked by how time-consuming the questions were and the total focus on causality/phenomenon-hypothesis over anything else. Nothing I’ve ever practiced with feels remotely comparable, so I feel like all the drilling I do is on easy mode.

June exams were all new content (no reused content other than a single RC passage) which could explain the new style, but I haven’t really seen anyone else with this take, so I might just be hallucinating.

Does anyone have any advice on how to prepare for August?

My observations:

1) Parallel reasoning without formal logic to make the answer choices less strong

2) High amounts of wordy causal reasoning and phenomenon hypothesis questions with much more intense answer choices than I’ve seen before

3) A much harder time crunch on LR, but RC has remained the same

4) An emphasis on quantifiers/math style questions
