Hello everyone, I am writing my first ever LSAT next weekend, jan 10th.

I am wondering when the best time to do the writing section is?

I have heard many different POV, and I'm wondering what worked best/didn't work for you?

thanks!

Hello! This is my first time taking the LSAT and would love to connect with others in the area! Feel free to reach out if you are in the Fargo area!!:)

Feeling really frusturated, here is my most recent LSAT score result. I need to at least a 160. The Blind Review shows that i KNOW im around 160s knowledge and i am beyond my goal score (i had a diagnostic score of 137!!) its just NOT translating in my raw score. I need to close the blind review LSAT gap before January 10th, but I literally don't know what to do. I have improved timing and pacing wise, as that was previously a huge issue.

Reading Comprehension is my weakest section. I changed my technique after this LSAT score to read structurally and literally, as I was previously reading for content. However, I took a RC Timed Section today and still got -14!!! I keep consistently falling for trap answers!! I have no idea what to do, or if its even possible to close this blind review gap. I am trying so hard, I have the knowledge of a 160+ scorer but its not translating. Please give me your tips and tricks to close this huge gap? And how else should I do my blind review to close the gap?

thank you all so much in advance.

My scores on older prep tests are consistently higher (by about 5 points) than newer ones. I feel as I am taking these newer tests that the questions are visibly more difficult. Am I crazy or is there any credence to this observation. I am taking the February LSAT; should I abandon the older tests and study only the new ones in preparation? I appreciate any insight. Thanks.

I am slightly unhappy with the explanations provided in PT 159. While I do appreciate the detail, some of them are so long that I end up struggling to actually figure out why something is right or wrong. Would appreciate them being cut down like the acs on other pts.

I am a full-time university student with a demanding management job, a relationship, family commitments, and just life stuff in general. I've been trying so hard to balance everything and focus on my LSAT prep, but it is just so draining at times. No matter what I do or how many sacrifices I make, I feel like I never have enough time. And when I push through regardless of my exhaustion, I end up doing poorly on everything I'm trying to balance. Any advice to deal with this kind of lifestyle?

Hi! When I first started studying I took most recent ptests within the 150s and worked backwards. as i get closer to the test I have been redoing those with the 150s with mixed results. which ptests should I take closest to the real thing to get me prepared?

and does anyone have a recommended list of ptests to take leading up (ex. varied as ptests 149, 154, 132, 147, etc. )? Thank you!!

Hello, since the site shut down, why am I being charged for classic 7sage?

Some of you have noticed that question type tags for some of the "Bonus" PTs (PT7 through 23) are off. We're not trying to gaslight you! We're aware of this issue and are in the process of fixing.

When configuring a drill, I manually select "Fresh" even though it's already set to it, since a good half (if not the majority) of the questions I'm provided are ones I've answered before. Has anyone else experienced this?

Happy New Year! 🥳

Hi!

I'm going back over the Foundations but struggling to find a section that discussed probability and how it links with formal and informal logic (conditional vs causal reasoning).

Can anyone signpost to something on 7Sage that covers this?

Thanks!

Took my first Prep Test about a month ago and got a 144. Today I took my second one and received 151. While it is low it is closer to my goal of 165+. I plan on taking the LSAT in April. Any tips to improve my score?

New remote time slots are available for all days :)

I think this has already been brought up, but I would really appreciate if the ability to drag a .png of the question from the quick view tab could be brought back. Especially with RC questions, copying and pasting is very messy, and the cleaner format was very helpful in adding questions to my personal wrong answer journal that I had organized by question types, difficulty, and so on.

While wrong answers can be organized in such categories under analytics, scrolling through these is very inconvenient. Every question takes you to a separate page, which wastes a lot of time if you are just trying to find a certain question or skim for commonalities between similar questions. This formatting is extremely frustrating.

I understand that the wrong answer notes feature is now more accessible, but using those notes is also inconvenient. Referring to the question that they were written for requires going to a separate page containing the question, after which the note is put in very small font while the question is in much larger font. Considering that the note should be the primary focus of wrong answer review, this is also extremely frustrating to work with.

I'm actually very disappointed with the current format due to these complications.

What just happened in the discussion posts? O.o

In the analytic section (under "sections"), I used to be able to hover the cursor over the bars to see how many questions I missed in previous full sections. Is that feature no longer available or did I imagine that it was once available to begin with? Now, when I hover over the bars, nothing comes up. I would have to go through every past section individually to see previous scores

Is it just my notes or are everyone else's notes on questions getting messed up? I normally use a lot of bullet points and indentations when writing out thoughts for BR and WAJ, and they show while I'm typing, but after I click save, it just all blurs together. I'm really particular about being able to read things easily so this really sucks, and it was fine just yesterday. I went back and looked at my notes on older questions and they're all displaying like that now. If it's just me does anyone know how I can fix this? Sooner rather than later please

I'm taking my final LSAT in January, and I feel like I've done a good job with maintaining nerves (which was my biggest obstacle) so I can better retain strategies and not get overwhelmed.

But I'm also scared, and I'm not trying to put so much pressure on it, anyone know what to do?

I just took PT 152 and scored 159 - significantly lower than PT 157 which I took a few days ago and scored 170 on. Been scoring mid to high 160s in general. Feeling really discouraged as I'm taking the LSAT in 10 days.

I feel like the concepts blurred together on this most recent test. Granted, I didn't do a ton of review on the previous PT, but I'm trying to do more full PTs because I haven't done a whole lot of them. It feels like it's so easy for me to forget how to apply concepts and make mistakes if I'm not constantly reviewing and studying the concepts, but I'm not sure how to balance my study time. I know I probably should have taken more rest days between the last test and this one.

Anyone experience something like this and have any suggestions? Do I just need to rest more? Review concepts and explanation videos? Is PT 152 unusually hard? Reading comp used to be a strength, this time I had so much trouble summarizing every paragraph and brain was a blur. Feeling so frustrated at having worked so hard to get to my goal score (been studying for about 1.5 years starting at low 140s) and things feel all over the place so soon before the test. Any advice on mental perspective?

Thank you in advance for any insights. Good luck to everyone out there taking the January test.

I’m retaking the LSAT in January and I’ve been feeling pretty confident about reaching my target score. That said, I’m starting to question whether my current timing strategy, especially for is optimal (especially for RC).

I usually make sure I leave enough total time to complete all four RC passages and their questions, but when I look more closely at my timing breakdown, I notice that I read passages quite quickly and then spend more time than expected on the questions themselves.

I’m trying to develop a more intentional timing plan that accounts for passage difficulty and question count. My usual approach is to move through the first passage fairly quickly (without sacrificing accuracy), take a bit more time on the second without letting it drag, and then spend more than half of my remaining time on the final two passages.

Recently, I tried something different: I completed an RC section while being very deliberate about timing—tracking how long I spent on each paragraph, how long I spent reading each passage, and how much time I spent answering the questions for each passage. I ended up with a –13, which is the worst I’ve scored this month. For context, over the past month my RC scores have ranged from –5 to –13, with an average around –10. I’m not sure whether being this granular with timing is helping or hurting.

I’m also wondering if my timing for Logical Reasoning is alright. I have double-time accommodations, and while that gives me flexibility, I’m not always sure how much of that extra time I should be allocating to going back and double-checking flagged questions at the end. I usually try and leave around 5 minutes at the end to go back. Why I took the actual LSAT for the first time I didn't have anytime to go back to review any flagged questions and did pretty bad, so I'm trying to be more mindful with how I allocate my time.

I’d really appreciate any insight into how others structure their RC and LR timing, and how you balance passage reading vs. question time.

I’m not sure who to ask, but I feel like I’m losing it.

I’ve been looking at law schools in my area and reviewing their LSAC grids, which show admission chances based on LSAT scores. About 2–3 weeks ago, when I last checked, I wrote down how many applicants there were and how many were admitted.

When I looked again last night, the numbers and percentages had changed dramatically. It’s still showing the 2024 grid, but the applicant numbers and overall competitiveness have increased a lot compared to what I remember/ wrote down. I know law schools have raised their medians, but I thought that applied to the 2025 cycle. Since the 2024 cycle is already over, I don’t understand why the competitiveness appears to have increased so much in just couple weeks.

if you dont know what I am talking about, go to LSAC website, go to My School List, go to any school you have entered, click on the school description, scroll all the way down, click on "explore admission data for X" and you will see and have an idea of competition there.

I just scored a 164 on PT138.

I was browsing through the core curriculum and read through some of the LOR modules and one of them said that if you don't have at least one academic LOR, most admissions committees will pass on you. This worries me for a couple of reasons: 1) I've been out of college for almost 7 years now; and 2) when I was in school, I was the student who didn't really participate in class, just listened and took notes and aimed to do well. I did not go to office hours or TA sessions or anything like that, many of my classes were medium-large seminars, and so I'm worried none of my old college professors would even remember me, even with a refresher. The one professor I would maybe consider wrote a LOR for me when I applied in 2020, so I don't even know if it's wise to ask her for another LOR for round 2 of applying. I currently work in a large law office where the learning curve has been pretty steep and I believe there are quite a few attorneys/supervisors/mentors in my office who would be able to speak to my learning ability, critical thinking skills, and rigor better than an old college professor who may or may not remember me and my academic abilities. TL;DR: Do I absolutely have to have a LOR from an old college prof? Out of college 7 years, didn't stay in touch with any professors, quiet in college, and I think my work colleagues would be able to recommend me better than old college professors.

I have a dilemma. I received a 'no decision' from the law school I applied to. They said everything looks fine, but I should increase my LSAT score by 3-4 points. I am supposed to take the February LSAT in a month, but I feel nowhere near ready after not studying for 9 months since my last LSAT. Our priority deadline is April 1st, but since I've already applied and they're just waiting on updates, would taking the April LSAT be the best choice so I could set myself up for a better score? Or should I take both?

I never really post on discussions, but I am genuinely desperate at this point. I've been scoring in the 140's for months now. I've studied for hours and hours on end for months, took the Nov LSAT, got a low 140. I registered for the Jan LSAT, and I am still scoring basically the same thing. I really don't know what to do. If any one else is/was in the same boat as me, I welcome any advice/tips for studying. I wanted to start my first semester of law school in the fall of 2026, but with the way things are going, I truly am discouraged. I don't know if it's burnout or if I am just not giving myself enough time to study, I'm just totally frustrated with myself and I feel like maybe I'm just not getting it. I'm also worried about how long it will take me to improve my score, since its taken so much time already. i don't want to delay my law school career more than I already have.

Help.
