Hey everyone! I will be a first gen lawyer/law student in my family, and I would love some guidance on schools to look at. I have a master's in Marine Conservation and I really would like to go into ocean/coastal law (think NOAA general counsel). I am currently looking at Pace, RWU and UMaine, but is there anywhere else that has an ocean/coastal law institute, law review or certification program on the east coast?

I'd like a good law school, but I'm definitely not a genius lol so I'm not looking for a T14 or anything!

Thanks!

Are there any study groups in the Philly area? Attempting to prep for the June Lsat

I recently decided I want to apply to law school this coming autumn of 2026. I have never taken an LSAT and just started studying for the first time this month. My diagnostic score was a 154 but I hope to break at least a 165. Should I take the June LSAT even though I won't feel fully prepared by then, just to give it a shot and get a feel for the testing environment after some intensive studying over the next month? Or should I wait for the next August LSAT, when I'll feel much more well studied but I'll have less time to improve my score and I fear the testing anxiety of needing to get a good score quickly for applications may be a stressor. Do the top law schools get swayed by a potentially really low starting score even if you improved on your second or third attempts? Should I not risk having that potential low score on my score reports?

Basically the title. How do you know if let's say you are improving on the flaw question types. Also how many LR sections is recommended you do let's say per week or biweekly

I am in the process of going through the LSAT Writing Lessons in anticipation of completing the argumentative writing portion of the test.

However, I noticed that the introductory article "LSAT Argumentative Writing and How to Prepare" is outdated and repeatedly references an important update coming "August 2024," as well as numerous other outdated claims and predictions. Please update the article to reflect the writing portion as it exists in the 2026-27 cycle; reading it I worry that I am being misled by outdated facts and predictions.

So I've noticed a trend in my own practice drills and sections where I tend to find the higher difficulty LR questions (level 4, level 5) easier to complete and I take the appropriate amount of time on them, whereas easier questions (level 2, 3) I spend 30/40 seconds more per question instead of meeting the target time. Any advice or insight on why this is happening? How can I fix this timing issue?

Hi! I am going between Pace, Hofstra, and Albany for law school. Albany is non conditional but the other two are conditional. What should I do?

Hi all! I'm consistently getting 179-180 on BR but in the mid/high 160s on AT. Any advice on closing the gap? I understand speed is likely a big part of this, but I'm curious what has worked for others in closing this gap? Is it doing drills where you gradually give yourself less and less time? I particularly feel that the timing on RC is really tough.

Are there any other Louisiana people who are here studying for the LSAT????

Would love to see more flexibility with the timer settings.

I receive double time accommodations, and right now it caps out at 200% or you have to go all the way to unlimited time. There are definitely situations where I’d want a little more time while still keeping some pressure. Something like 225% or 250% would be really useful.

Unlimited time doesn’t really solve it because then I can sit on one question forever, which isn’t how the actual test feels.

Also, the average test taker can already give themselves extra time in practice pretty easily. It would be great to have that same flexibility on the accommodations side instead of being locked into preset limits.

Honestly, even just the ability to manually set the clock would fix this. Being able to choose your own section time would create that missing middle ground.

Woww screaming, crying, throwing up!! As someone who has used 7sage since 2024 and has taken the LSAT more than 4 times thought I owed it to myself to let everyone know who struggles with this test that there is light at the end of the tunnel lool.

Quick shoutout to some amazing tutors that, although I never did one-on-one tutoring with them, when I got the chance, I always tried to attend their classes. Big shout out to Alvin!! Another BIG shoutout to Bailey!!! Both of whom were super effective and encouraging during this longg process.

A couple of tips, as someone who has taken this test (a lot), I find that although 7sage is AMAZING, the best way, at least to me, to go about studying is a combination of resources! Don't shy away from the books! (Loophole by Ellen Cassidy, LR Perfection Dragon Test Prep, and Powerscore RC Bible are some of my favourites).

There aren't a lot of Law schools in Canada, so if any future Canadian lawyers or applicants for the next cycle want to reach out pls do!

Send me a message here if you'd like to meet for a free 30-minute session to talk generally about the test or discuss specific questions that you might have. I will be around for most of the afternoon/early evening.

Can we get dark mode for the app please

Is it possible to have a green progress bar showing under our priorities by question type in analytics how much we improved by after a drill? So if on CondR my accuracy was 80% and I take a perfect drill, the gains in accuracy % would be in green? This would be so cool of you alllllllllllll

Does selecting in between the study plans (balanced, accelerated, custom, etc) change what's included in the lesson library or change what's included in my study plan/schedule? For example, does being on a balanced pathway for LR include more lessons, skill builders, drills, and "you try?" And does being on an accelerated pathway for Foundations mean fewer lessons, skill builders, etc?

Or is that being on balanced means more lessons, fewer skill builders and "you try?" And then vice versa for accelerated? Because I do not want any content and or any practice to be missing from my lesson library or the study plan because I will choose whether to skip or not.

Wondering what people's experiences are!

what the title says. ive been averaging 165, but want at least a 168. i just havent had much time to study because of school and work, but ill have nothing to do in may and can put 1000% more effort. also lowkey mentally exhausted right now. ive been slowly studying since august 2025, with a diagnostic of 151. i hit the 160s in febrary when i actually started preptesting and not just doing core curriculum stuff. im tired of studying for the lsat and dont want to wait until august...

Hi everyone- I am currently gearing up to apply to law schools, mainly in the NYC area, this upcoming cycle. I currently have an LSAT score in the 158-162 range and am hoping to submit a score of at least 163-165. For my undergrad, I have a 4.0 GPA from Excelsior University, a fully online school based in Albany, NY. I was wondering if anybody had any insight into how much this will impact my admissions chances at schools? Will it matter if i apply to schools that I am within their lsat median, or will I need to score a few points ovber medians to secure acceptances and hopefully scholarships?

The main schools i am currently targettng are: Cardozo, St. Johns, Brooklyn, NYLS, but would love to shoot higher if my LSAT permits me to do so. (fordham, nyu, columbia)

Any advice or answers people may have is appreciated, thank you all and best of luck!

Would it be possible to block certain questions in drills that you have gone over in class/quizzes? There are some questions that I have seen enough that I immediately know the answer and reason. I have turned off full sections because I know some of the questions well enough that I feel like it is skewing my stats to have them pop up again and get them right in 5 seconds but I could still use reviewing other questions in those sections. It would be nice to just mute/block certain well used questions from classes and curriculum.

I went from a 145 to a 177 on the LSAT in 9 months.

Not through guesswork—but by building a structured system for understanding the test, fixing weaknesses, and executing under time pressure.

I just finished with some students for the April LSAT, and now that the test is over, I’m opening up a few more spots.

If you’re stuck in the 140s, 150s, or low 160s and feel like you’re not improving despite studying, I can help you identify exactly what’s holding you back and build a strategy that works.

I offer personalized, one-on-one tutoring focused on real improvement—not just drilling questions.

Message me if you’re serious about raising your score.

Hi all! I am current;y sitting at a 154 PT with the aim of 170+ by June. I am struggling with finding a fool proof study schedule. One day I will do an LR section or two and 2 reading passages. Somedays just one LR section and a PT about every 2 weeks. I am not sure how else to study besides drilling, sections, and review. I really want that 15+ point increase. Any advice?

Hi Everyone,

I was wondering if there is a lesson that details this exact thing, but I'm studying main idea questions and realize that its helpful to know the different type of argument structures for a stimulus. Like how an argument can be structured as 1. introducing an external or generally held belief and 2. the main argument is the authors counter-belief or rejection of the general belief. Or like 1. naming a phenomena and 2. the main argument is a hypothesis for that phenomena. Is there a specific plan or place that shows all the possible argument structures like this and if not, does anyone have a list that i could reference.

Thank you!

I have been wanting to export my drilling/PT data so that I can look at more specific trends than the 7sage platform allows me to... I want to see my progress on specific tags and feed my data into AI so I can do more targeted and specific studying vs just specific drill types.

I clicked on the "Consulting Admissions" ad on 7Sage and saw the $3,000 - $8,000 price tag. I'm absolutely floored. Who can afford these price tags? I am sure the team did a due diligence on the market and have a SWOT analysis somewhere that points at the feasibility of these prices. (Well-- I assume this is the case!) But peeps like me? Heck, I'm using my healthcare benefits rewards program to pay for the 7Sage subscription. (Every step counts!)

At first I felt intimidated. I have to compete against people that can afford ultra professional consulting? But then reminded myself that some people can very much pay $3k and still not get an acceptance to their dream school (ouch). Others don't pay anything and get scholarships (goals). These are competitive and unpredictable cycles. Who knows what next year will look like.

To this I say: Amor fati, my fellow applicants!

**If you're able to afford these prices, please DM me if you're hiring. Or would like to sponsor.

Hi everyone. I started studying for the LSAT in February and scored a 149 on my first blind PT. I have been studying since then, having gone through most of the 7sages curriculum, and my most recent full PT, I scored a 158. I have been zeroing in on my LR over the past little while, and have kinda plateaued in the -6,-8 range, and haven't been able to get out. I am seeking any advice people may have for this. I have not watched any of the question type specifc videos 7sage has- is that stupid of me? I found a lot of early success just using common sense, but maybe it would pay to go back to those videos? If anybody has advice, please let me know!

I am an international applicant hoping to apply next cycle, so my only real chance is to take this test in June. I don't really have another option, so I gotta lock this in. Best of luck to everyone, you got this!!
