Just a PSA (but especially for girlies): Narcissistic abuse literally damages your brain and interferes with your reasoning and critical thinking abilities, processing speed, and memory. I went from being consistently getting around 95 percent correct to a much more variable percentage. Please preserve your brain power for studying for this test. Gaslighting can affect your ability to gauge the strength of premises, for example. Your goal is to figure out the validity of the arguments on the LSAT instead of the validity of someone's son's lies. Abusive people force you to reason like them, which does not translate to the best results on the LSAT. Having to sift through 27 lies a day is equivalent to the mental load of doing 27 extra practice questions that actually make you worse instead of better.

For context I have taken 8 full length timed practices and continue to score around 160, while my blind review scores have shot up to a 167. No matter how much I review in different ways or drill the question types I miss most often, I cannot get the scores to match or at least get closer together. I'm feeling like I'm out of options and my test date is coming up sooner than I'd like. Any advice on how to use my last few weeks well to close the gap?

Hi! Looking for potential morale buddies to stick together & keep each other motivated during this brutal process.

I'm 23F living in Manhattan working a full-time job and would love other people to make this process more fun. Thinking virtual stuff mostly but would also be cool to maybe grab coffee and meet live.

I have been studying around 4 months and am in the 165 range, hoping to take the test in June 2025-- hoping for people kind of in a similar stage both in terms of the test and life, but generally open!

Comment if interested! :)

Hello,

I just started my journey and wish to take the LSAT in august. I am still in the foundations yet when I do drill sets I get complex level drills about flaw questions and when I click explanation its like 17 minute videos and they say "as mentoned in the core curriculum". So my question is, should I wait to finish more of the course then tackle drill sets or keep doing them even if I havent learned how to solve them?

I took my first diagnostic this past Saturday and wanted to know when I should take my next practice test. I have been working through the foundational lessons and was wondering if I should wait until I complete them before taking another practice test.

I scored a 165 on the February LSAT and im re-taking it in June but I'm losing some drive and focus to get in the 170s. I'm EST and if anyone wants to study together and hold each other accountable lemme know,

n/a

i was all the way through the old core curriculum when the new version of 7sage came out with all the new prep tests. i have been testing from pt 36 all the way up to pt 61 using the old format but now i want to take pt62-pt94 using the new preptests. however, it doesnt look like the new preptests work that way. would it be okay for me to just continue taking 3 sections of pt 62-94, while adding on an old section for each preptests myself? i like doing the prep tests sequentially, like 62, 63, 64 , 65 etc. i also like how jy ping adds commentary every 4 or 5 prep tests using students live takes and i dont want to lose that.

for someone who has been prep testing sequentially all the way since pt 36, how can i continue to do this while also adding in a 4th section in the most realistic way possible? thank you

I can start the group chat everyone comment their number

Hi!

I am working my way through the core curriculum and see that a lot of PTs now say that 1-2+ questions have been taken from them. I don't want to limit how many PTs I can take and also don't want to pull questions from the PTs in the new format so that I can accurately assess what scores to expect. Is there a way I can drill without pulling questions from the new form PTs?

My last 4 pt's have been on average a score of 159. The law school I want to go to has a median lsat of 159. Should I keep PT'ing over the spring and summer and take the test in September and apply in October of this year? At what point would I want to get my recommendation letters and other loose ends of my application tied up? What scores should I be seeing before I stop PT's and sign up for the real thing? Thanks

Scoring in the high 170s looking to tutor specifically in RC for free to be a little more consistent in my PT scores. Started in the 130s.

It'll help me in a research project designed to make 7Sage better.

I've been having a hard time finding others who are also studying for the LSAT. Would prefer to meet up anywhere within the 610 loop! :) LMK so we can create a group!

anyone in the DC area looking for a study buddy? We can meet at the library or something like that!

Hi, I was wondering if anyone in Dallas would like to form a study group?

Hey all, I'm struggling to understand why AC A in PT 119, Section 1, Question 14, is incorrect. I've reviewed the video explanation, online forums, and comments, but the best explanation I could come up with is below. Help on understanding this would be much appreciated - I've thought through this for several days but am still confused. I've never been this stumped after reviewing a wrong RC answer.

Q14: I understand why AC C is correct but am still struggling to eliminate A, especially since A seemed supported by lines 37-40 "personal and cultural screens of silence and secretiveness that have enshrouded her past". Here are a few things that I believe discredit A as a viable answer choice:

Although this might be a subtle distinction, in this context "history" means a a factual record of historical facts, where Naomi "reconciles" history - in other words uncovers or accepts difficult truths about her personal history and the historical context in which she lived.

Heritage, as JY alludes to, refers to cultural or ancestral legacy, including cultural traditions.

In this case, being discouraged from exploring heritage is not supported(?). I would still argue that if AC A references history (not heritage) it might be supported by lines 37-40. Even with the distinction between history and heritage, I'm not fully convinced that A is not supported. These in-text lines refer to cultural secretiveness. Does this mean that Naomi was discouraged from seeking her heritage? Secretiveness of the past does seem to refer to a form of discouragement.

Just took my 3rd prep test (PT 120). Got a 169. LR -4, RC -4 and LR -1. Very Happy with this result as I am still pretty early in my studying journey.

The only caveat is that for what 7sage deemed to be the "experimental" section on this exam, I got -8. This LR section was noticeably harder, I have never gotten -8 in a section before.

I am just wondering whether this section was truly "experimental"? As getting a -8 on the one section that didn't get scored feels a bit like it invalidates my 169.

Any thoughts or experience on the so called "experimental" sections would be greatly appreciated!

I've been struggling the most with conditional reasoning questions, and have rewatched the lessons a couple times and done some drilling but still don't understand. I take the LSAT in a little over a month, does anybody have some suggestions for a quick way to improve on these?

Anybody in the Phoenix area down to form a study group?

Hey everyone, I'm trying to think wisely about which LSATs I could get the most out of this year and welcome any advice. I plan to take up to three LSATs total this year.

Here's my story:

I decided at the end of last year to matriculate in Fall 2026. Took a practice test without any study and scored 161. My target score is 175.

Around January I began studying on the LSAC website. Having discovered 7sage and better studying habits, I consider this first month a wash. Nonetheless, during this time I registered for the April 2025 LSAT.

Part of me now considers this a mistake as I doubt my score will improve very much over the next month. However, some friends have convinced me that it is worth it just to acclimate to the test environment and see what I score under real conditions.

Initially, I planned to take it again in June and August. I now think I should skip the June test to extend my study time and take the August test and either the September or October test.

The advantage of the October test is an extra month of study after the August test and the disadvantage is that with scores released on October 24, I will be looking to submit applications at the end of October/beginning of November. This is a little later than I would like for schools with rolling admissions (I am located in Boston and will apply to Harvard as my sort of platonic ideal). The inverse, of course, is true for the September test.

Currently within my situation I have time for 1-2 hours of dedicated study per day weekday (more on Saturdays, perhaps less on Sundays).

My explicit question for you all is whether you think the September or October test is a better bet (consider, for example, the impact of applying for rolling admissions schools a month into the process -- am I overestimating this?). Of course, I welcome any and all other advice given the information I've provided. Happy to clarify anything either described above or details I may have neglected to include.

Thanks all. Appreciate your time.

Even though I'm going slow and parsing out passages, often times I get W, S, E questions wrong because I'm not making the same kinds of assumptions they make to get to that answer choice. Maybe it's also because I just started W,S,E questions like a week ago in the CC, so it's still a little new to me. What has helped you most with making reasonable assumptions? The assumptions explained in the lessons sometimes feel very arbitrary.

I drive a lot, so listening to content is a good use of my time. Anyone know of a good audio book or podcast that reviews questions, strategies, etc that will help increase my score?

Anyone who is in connecticut want to study together?

I know those questions are usually the curve breaker ones and I keep choosing the second most popular answer every single time... Any tips on how to approach this problem?
