I would love it if there was a way to see how much time I spent on 7sage on a given day. Could even be divided by how much time spent doing sections, drills, or full prep tests, as well as an other section for video/course refreshes. It would make it way easier to hold myself accountable with time spent studying each day since the study blocks aren’t modifiable and I often don’t complete it exactly as laid out.

Hi!

I want to have some advice on my study method.

My PT score(timed) is between 155-160 and my BR score is usually 173-177.

I've been studying from this February, and I took June LSAT, still waiting for my score.

Regardless of the June score, I'm aiming to take it again in October and I really want to see my BR score in the real test.

The problem is, I don't feel I'm improving that much and not sure what should I do from now on. What helped you the most to minimize the score gap between your actual score and BR score? Will doing more timed practice help?

I was doing mostly timed section and review+wa journal after. Should I switch to untimed mode?

I'm def doing WA journal and I feel like I do understand everything, until I take a timed PT😭

Hello! My name is Mickey and I started tutoring recently with the goal of 1) making tutoring more accessible, especially for fee-waiver applicants, and 2) teaching the fundamentals of logical reasoning to help students who are passionate about becoming lawyers but for whom logical reasoning might not come easily to. My interest in doing this was borne out of helping my brother and a friend of mine, both of whom the second bullet point applies to, combined with the fact that I really enjoy the logical reasoning problems on the LSAT, and I also really enjoying 1-on-1 teaching. Finding enjoyment in studying for this test is the reason I am applying to law school, and I want to share my approach to these problems with you!

Most of my sessions with current students involve walking through sets of problems where I listen to my student's approach and then share mine, emphasizing any takeaways that the student can apply to similar situations in the future. Often, we go in-depth on only a handful of problems throughout a session, focusing on accuracy and critical analysis instead of speed.

The tutoring I am offering is primarily for students whose goal is to score in the 160s and are currently testing anywhere below that. If your goal is to score higher, I may also be able to be of help. I believe that mastering the fundamentals of LR makes this goal very, very doable, no matter your starting point. For more information about my philosophy, approach, and credentials, please check out my website! Here it is: https://www.fundamentlr.com

You may book a free consultation at this link: https://calendar.app.google/PuiSxamTnaDTr7Gh8

Otherwise, feel free to comment and I will DM you, send me a DM, or check my website for my phone number & email. Looking forward to working with you!

Hi all! I'm Kerry, and I'm currently taking students for the August 2026 LSAT and beyond.

I'm a magna cum laude J.D. graduate of Michigan Law, and I also have an M.A. in Law from Yale University. After leaving BigLaw and transitioning into parenthood, I began tutoring the LSAT full-time in 2015. I've helped hundreds of students gain admission to dozens of law schools all around the U.S. and Canada. I have also contracted with multiple law schools and undergrad instiutions to teach or tutor LSAT prep, especially through their diversity pipeline programs. Moreover, I actively tutor law students and bar exam prep and have taught First Amendment and Media Law as a law school adjunct professor.

My emphasis is on true comprehension--there is simply no substitute for truly understanding what is being asked of you, what your job is, and how to do that job. I endeavor to break down the thought processes that high scorers engage in, step by step, so that you can progress quickly and consistently.

I live in the Detroit area, Eastern time zone, and I tutor five days a week (Tuesdays and Saturdays are my days off). I keep a wide range of hours to make myself available to students across various time zones, but I prefer to work between 9 a.m. Eastern and 10 p.m. Eastern. At the moment, my widest availability is Fridays and Sundays, though I have a few spots on other days.

My preferred session length is 90 minutes, though I'm happy to work with you if you have a preference for shorter or longer. My base rate is $120 per hour ($180 for a single 90-minute sessions), and I do offer package discounts of up to 20% off for a package of 20 sessions or more). Other discounts are available for smaller packages.

Please reach out to me at kerry@lsatmaven.com and mention that you found me on 7Sage!

Hi all! I know that the August registration deadline is coming up and wanted to ask for some advice. I am shooting for a goal score of 175 and debating between the August and September tests. My last 5 PTs have been 171, 172, 173, 177, and 172.

I am considering August only because the September test coincides with the beginning of fall semester of my junior year, but I'm concerned that I won't be able to get to my goal score by then. Any insight would be greatly appreciated! Thanks :)

I wanted to turn the Lawhub automatic import feature off and was told that it's not possible.

Can you please make it possible to turn that feature off?

There are many PTs on Lawhub that I used for blind review, before subscribing 7sage.

Also there are a lot of PTs that I used for just one section practice, so my score is like 120.

It's messing up my analytics :(!

I didn't have any problem before, cause I never used import from lawhub feature, and only manually imported PTs which I actually used for full PT.

Hello, I've been recently picking somr wrong trap answers due to insufficient translating skils of double negatives or thinking a modifier is part of a negative statement as seen below:

None of the shows that Wilke & Wilke produced last year that were not canceled were police dramas.

Does 7Sage have any practice for these translations?

Thanks!

Do I need to read all answer choices?

For this question, C is the correct answer. I got it right, but I only read answer choices A, B, and C before feeling like C was the right answer.

I took 57 seconds to answer the question which is only 5 seconds under target. Am I supposed to be able to eliminate all possible answer choices before moving onto the next question? I feel like that's impossible to do with a 35 minute time limit.

What do you write in the wrong answer journal? I recently copied the Q/As, inital thoughts about stimuli, thoughts about intial strategy, break down why each A is wrong/ right, and future strategy. Since i use notion I do use tags and color some text for more organization.

Should I rewrite the whole Q/A and breakdown why each ans is wrong? Or should I just focus on my incorrect answer and strategy? Am I doing too much?

Hi all, I have a question on how law schools consider undergrad GPA based on hearing various takes in the past. Starting college, I initially performed not as well as I would have hoped, as college was a big adjustment for me (first gen student). My GPA was lower for freshman and sophomore year (probably in the 3.6 -3.7 range), although I eventually was able to adjust and I would estimate my GPA throughout my last two years of undergrad to be in the 3.9 area. Ultimately, my final GPA ended up being 3.79. I am wondering how law schools (especially T14s) react to situations like these. Is the GPA improvement not really that beneficial? Or will law schools (without a better way of describing it), largely interpret my stats based on my latter performance as opposed to the former two years? Somewhere in the middle?

7Sage WAJ

I wanted to reach out to the 7sage team and suggest an addition to the Blind Review/Review process. I think it would be very useful to add a Wrong Answer Journal WAJ tab to the review program. I use the notes section and its helpful to articulate the reasons for answer choices as I am working through the problem. The issue I see is that, when I go back to review all the 'Notes' that I've made in the past in the 'Notes' tab, the interface only shows me the blank answer without any highlighting I added or the answers that I selected when I attempted the question initially. It would be great to create a WAJ within the system for ease of use and access. I've struggled to find a suitable template that works well for me; the note system in 7Sage is great bc it is immediately there and the information can easily be accessed and represented clearly in the 7Sage format.

Thoughts?

Hey! As a current law student who went through the admissions process relatively recently, I know how overwhelming everything can feel. I'm here to hopefully relieve some of your anxiety!

After a 155 initial diagnostic, I studied over the course of several months while working full time and was able to get to a point where I was consistently scoring in the 175~180 range. With an official score of 170 and a year of law school under my belt, I'm excited to share what I've learned and help others achieve their goals.

What I'm offering:

  • My tutoring style is highly conversational and interactive. I believe students learn best by actively engaging with concepts and working through problems together, rather than simply listening to explanations.

  • Personalized, one-on-one sessions via Zoom

  • 35$/hour with a free initial consultation

  • Accessibility outside of lessons via text, or email for general questions

  • Someone to chat with about the admissions process in general!

Free Initial Consultation:

  • Short chat regarding your goals, and how I can help

  • Quick walkthrough of a couple of LSAT problems to get a sense of how our sessions would look

If interested, please shoot me an email at jadecho@bu.edu! I'd be happy to chat and see if I'm a good fit for you.

160+ scorer trying to break into the 170s. Planning to take the Sept 2026 test.

Looking for a study buddy or very small group to hold each other accountable (checking in daily) and go over tests/sections together (about 1x a week).

I work full time, so I am mostly studying early mornings or evenings.

In NYC, but this can be virtual. Looking for people that really want an accountability buddy!

Feel free to leave a comment or chat me.

😖 Frustrated

I need advice/help

Hi, today I took a practice test and scored a 155, previously having scored 151 and 153, but it has been two months. Am I studying wrong? It is especially frustrating as I have been drilling very well and the score predictions on my drills are averaging in the mid-160s. I really want to take the August LSAT as it will be easier to take it at home rather than at college where I don't have a car. I am a reverse splitter as my GPA is in the 3.9 range (I still need to calculate CAS GPA based on last semester but I got all As and A+s and only one A-). I am okay not going to a T14 or even T25, in fact at this point I just want to be in Chicago. One school I would qualify for their honors full ride if I can get a 161, but even that seems so far off. Can I get some study advice, reverse splitter advice, and August LSAT advice? I feel like I should have improved more, I am especially frustrated because it seems Logic Reasoning has barely gone up at all despite practicing it everyday and going through the core curriculum. It seems every time someone posts about score increases it is either in one month or two years, and a gap year is not an option for me. Even just paying for 7Sage for another year is not an option. Please provide any advice you can!

160s Plateau Advice

Hi guys!

I've been studying since February. I started with a 156 diagnostic and have a goal score of 172+, and I just took the June test (planning on taking it again in August).

I am just so stuck on these practice tests. I got a 170 in late April, so I thought I was on an upward trend, but the six PTs I've taken since have all been between 166-168 (175+ on the BR). I know it's good that I'm consistently in that range, but I can't seem to break the 170s and I'm starting to wonder if I've hit my limit for the August test.

I've been studying for about an hour a day with drills focused on my weakest question types and fixing my timing. I felt SO good this past week about my progress, was consistently getting perfect scores on untimed and timed drills, and it didn't translate at all to my PT. There's not really a consistent pattern to what I'm getting wrong.

Has anyone experienced this and been able to improve? Is there any change in study technique I should consider?

hi! this might be kinda goofy but i would love a drill option that eliminates questions that have any diagramming / likely require written work cuz i like to drill while im on my transit to work and i dont have scratch paper to diagram conditionals or formal logic when doing that. i know i could technically probably do that myself in settings but it would be great to just have like a ‘i’m on a bus’ option when clicking adaptive drills LOL. just sharing an idea!

I'm scoring pretty high, one of the only areas that regularly causes me the most problems (both incorrect answers and getting them right but going too slow) are questions with Causal Reasoning , and I suppose Phenomenon/Hypo questions.

I've been through core curriculum, it just hasn't really helped me. I want to know for those of you who are exceptionally good at questions with this sort of logic, what are your tips? What helped break through to reliably be fast and accurate? I sometimes miss or take a long time on super easy questions. I've been to a lot of classes I understand the general mistakes/flaws, I think I just struggle most when the stimulus doesn't have obvious language indicating that it is a causal relationship or that it is a phenomenon/hypothesis relationship.

Just an example, on pt 158, s4, q12, didn't realize it was a phenomenon/hypo relationship (was it just the causal : The only effective check on grass and brush fires is rain. If the level of rainfall is below normal for an extended period of time, then there are many more such fires. Yet grass and brush fires cause less financial damage overall during long periods of severe drought than during periods of relatively normal rainfall.

Hi,

I'm preparing for the September LSAT with a target in the 175+ range.

Quick context: I started with a 136. I've been studying for about three months and my blind review scores are consistently high now (168-172), but my timed scores sit in the low 150s. So my gap isn't content knowledge. It's execution under time, decision-discipline (I tend to find the right answer and then talk myself out of it), and reading speed, since English is my second language and I never studied it academically. RC is my biggest point-loss area; LR is stronger. I'm Portuguese, my education was between Portugal, Brazil and the US (but I'm not used to standardized tests). And I have a Law degree already (but, thank god, we don't do LSATs in Europe)

I'm looking for targeted help on exactly those things rather than a from-scratch curriculum. I'd want to understand how you'd approach this kind of timed-vs-untimed gap, and roughly how many sessions you'd suggest given my timeline.

Thanks,

Mariana
