Hi everyone, I am looking for advice. On my timed Practice Tests, I usually get in the mid 150s range but when I Blind Review my scores are in the 170s. When I do the practice tests, I always seem to be running out of time every section, especially in RC.

My question is, how do I close this gap? What are some best practices for answering questions with speed?

Hi everyone! I recently started paying attention to the new feature that predicts your score based on performance in drills and section. I know that it isn't always a perfect predictor of your score but I am curious if anyone has seen similar results to their predicted score on their practice tests/actual LSAT scores?

I took my first LSAT in September and scored way lower than I hoped. I scored a 146 but am planning on retaking in June and I have been getting consistent ranges in the upper 150 and 160's I am just curious how accurate this might be.

Thank you and good luck to everyone in their study journey!

Hi all! I'm Kerry, and I'm currently taking students for the June 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.

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-- Sunday-Monday and Wednesday-Friday. 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.

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 everyone,

I'm hosting a Logical Reasoning study group on Friday at 5 p.m. Eastern. I'd like to make this a series going forward, and for this first session I plan to present on how to attack Sufficient and Necessary Assumption questions. There's certainly room for flexibility, though, and I'm open to suggestions for future sessions.

Feel free to check out my bio or reach out with any questions!

1. Are windows allowed in your Argumentative Essay Question? I plan to draw the curtains and close the blinds if so.

2. When you do your Argumentative Essay, do you have to take one of the perspective listed? I heard no but I want to confirm. I know you have to counter address at least 2 perspectives in your essay.

3. Is there any down side to taking a 2nd LSAT? I took the April test. Deadline for June tests is coming up. Since I won't have my score until then, I figure I should just sign up and take it. Very worst case is I somehow scored my best score on the most recent test (167) and then score badly on the 2nd go round, but that probably doesn't affect admissions I have been told, right?

4. How much time do you need to prepare applications for colleges? How do you know if you have scholarship from a college after application, they just tell you? Is it a separate application?

5. I took 1 practice LSAT Argumentative Writing on Lawhub. I plan to prep and practice 2 more before the real thing. Any other particular good website links you have to have me prepared for the essay?

Thanks!

Hi All,

Here are the office hours times this week! You can find me under the discussion page (here) on the bottom left where it says "Tutor Office Hour" at these times! Hope to see some of y'all there!

My study plan is still showing “Week 1” even though it’s been about 3 weeks and I’ve completed every step assigned.

At this point, I’ve just been generating new blocks at the start of each week, but all the blocks stills say week 1.

Am I missing something that marks the week as complete, or is this a bug? Has anyone else run into this?

Hello everyone!

I just started my LSAT study journey as of March, and originally started on LawHub. After hearing a recommendation from a coworker who successfully passed the test, I’ve been coming here and adding mentally to the notes I physically wrote from my month on LawHub daily.

I have really enjoyed 7sage and their “just practice” account option, as a platform like this really helps me to hone in on what I need to work on, while still showcasing the early skills I do have (which always feels good). I have been wanting to further my connection here by subscribing, but I am unsure on the weight of the costs coupled with having to create an LSAC account and the bump to upfront funds due. Thankfully I work gainfully and could afford to upgrade with serious financial and budget awareness; however, I am torn. I understand that ultimately it’s better to subscribe to the program and start studying a lot more personalized for the best results, but I wanted to ask others first who may feel or felt the same.

Has anyone else in an extremely tight financial situation took the leap of faith by subscribing to 7Sage monthly? Do you have any words of encouragement or wisdom in maintaining a budget with a commitment like this?

Ideally meant for those planning to take the LSAT summer 2026 (either july/august), however I welcome all who are interested! I would love to connect with any fellow studiers who also feel like they would benefit from some in-person group studying.

Hi, as I start thinking about my personal statement- I wanted to get some opinions about mentioning mental health, it would be mentioned in the least dramatic way possible I promise and it would not be the main theme, just a small touchpoint within the broader picture. I just wanted to see if admissions officers would read about struggles with mental health and see it as a drawback (again nothing debilitating), is there a stigma? Thanks!!!

7Sage will be temporarily unavailable while we update our servers.

Eastern time: 5am Wednesday, April 15th

Pacific time: 2am Wednesday, April 15th

The site will be available again in two hours, hopefully less.

Please avoid doing a PrepTest or Problem Set near this time so that your work is not interrupted. Sorry for any inconvenience!

Will 7sage update practice tests and drills to look more like the new LSAT interface?

I have found this LR Cheat Sheet (very useful. Is there something similar anyone has available for the RC section?.

I am 3 weeks away from completing the learning portion of 7Sage, so I went back to some older lessons to refine some concepts I'm a little shaky on- thus I came across a few newly embedded adaptive drilling. LOL they are actually a nightmare for me!

I drill pretty religiously and never delete my analytics. Most of my drills are randomized questions and not PT's, and 7sage saw allllll my flaws. This is soooo much better than drilling question types for me because most lot of my wrong-answer choices come from misreading an answer choice or forgetting the stimulus while going over the answer choices. I don't know how adaptive drilling knows this- but I've been met with those questions pretty consistently. This is pretty amazing and I am hoping that I can improve soon!

I took the LSAT August 2025 and January 2026. I got the same score (142) both times. I am looking to take it again in June 2026 to get off the waitlist at my top school. Is it possible to start studying now and get a 150 in June?

hi! i'm a current junior in college aiming for a 175+. i've been prepping for a while since the summer of 2025, but have been pretty lax with it up until february 2026. i completed the 7sage core curriculum over the last summer, with a diagnostic of 164. my score has barely shifted over the past few months of consistent practice tests and drilling. the highest pt i've gotten is a 169, and i seem to end up around there every time.

when i completed the 7sage core curriculum, i used the old website. is it worth redoing the curriculum for the new content? i just don't know how to improve my score. i've been doing practice tests, blind review, all that jazz. i go over every question i get wrong and put it in my WAJ so i've identified patterns in my mistakes, but it always seems like smtg new comes up. timing used to be a bit of an issue for me, but now i've learned to better pace myself. yet, i'm still getting questions wrong and my effort over the past few months feels a bit like its been wasted since my score hasn't really shifted.

i was thinking about pursuing tutoring for more direct support, but not sure where to look for that and if it would be helpful. any guidance would be appreciated on how to approach studying, especially as i am hoping to take the exam in june!

I am living proof that this test is learnable-- a year ago I would've been anxiously thinking about how bad I am at reading and how hard it would be to overcome this test. Hopefully third time is the charm this June and I can finally end my 7sage subscription-- although bittersweet haha. Good luck to everyone studying and embrace the storm of this test. I was feeling a bit down on myself the past two weeks because I just wasn't as focused as I could've been while taking PrepTests, but a couple days off is a great reset.

I just scored a 174 on PT154.

i started studying earlier this year. I put in 4 hours a day, 7 days a week consistently in anticipation of the April test. Then my mom died unexpectedly the first week of March. Needless to say, the studying flew out the door. I still took the test last weekend, because I had committed - the change in career was discussed with my family and Mom was my biggest cheerleader. We talked about what all we were going to do when "i get rich". I ran out of time on the test, so those last few questions in each section were just a random choice, so who knows if I passed or not. I've registered for June, and had my doctor fill out my request for accomodations, which were approved- but i'm having theeee hardest time getting back into studying. I just stare off into space during a session. How do I on ramp again? We know life can life, but gahdamn, life t-boned me this year.

Hello, my study plan drills are suddenly not allowing me to customize when clicking on drills. I used to be able to click drills in my study plans and it's going to lead me to a page where I can customize time, question types, etc. Now when I click on the drill it just immediately goes to the questions. Anyone also experiencing this?

When you click a drill in your study scheduler, do you need to be able to adjust the settings before you start?

EDIT: We heard you loud and clear. We've reverted this change!

I was wondering if anyone has any tips for reviewing wrong answers on LR sections. I feel like whenever I go to review I find myself writing that my mistakes were due to reading errors or because of timing, which sometimes is true but not always. Does anyone have any tips on how to more accurately assess mistakes when writing your wrong answer journal?

I've taken ~5 practice tests now, with a range of 171-180 and an average of 176 (slightly stronger on LR but not as consistent as I'd like to be for either). I'm really struggling with how to effectively study with the goal of getting more consistent at the high end of my range.

(For context, I took the LSAT a few years ago, was in a similar spot in terms of upper range but low consistency on preptests, and ended up getting a lower score on test day so I'd really like to shift my strategy this time.)

Partly in response to that, I've been focusing heavily on drilling sections + PTs and reviewing the questions I get wrong, which I think is helping but it's a little hard to say -- there are a few times where after zeroing in a question I got wrong that I still don't feel like I sufficiently understand why the right answer is right.

Would really appreciate any general tips on gaining consistency in a high range -- maybe any recs on good bang-for-buck books or forums that focus on the trickiest qs?

Thank you!!

I began studying in December for the LSAT. I originally wanted to take in February but quickly realized I was nowhere near ready. I ultimately signed up for April because, worst case, it gives me a good practice run. My scores are hitting over 160 which is good, with my blind review somehow consistently 170+ so I thought, hey, let's just give it a shot and see how it goes. I signed up for in person because I wanted to avoid the usual issues I hear about. Boy was I way off.

I get to the test center at 7:40. He tells me we are having some minor tech issues but they should be fixed. He said he has done this for 10 years and has never heard of a delay longer than even 30 minutes, but expects this fine in roughly 10.

So we wait... thirty minutes pass. An hour passes. An hour and a half. The 8:30 people are now in the room with us in this tiny area all stressed out and waiting. They finally begin letting us into the room. Ugh, finally, right? No.

Instead, we are scanned in, where we have no phone or anything else, no clocks, no nothing, into these little cubicles with computers who, again, have no clock, so you basically have no idea what is going on. And we wait. And wait... And wait. Eventually they come in and inform us that they are STILL having issues. They encourage people to leave and file a complaint, but I have no other availability, I need to do this. So I wait more. Finally, after almost three hours of waiting, I am able to take the test. But obviously, it has been 3 hours. I am hungry, caffeine is long gone, my brain is going a mile a minute so I have to manage that while going in and finally focusing. It was rough.

So yesterday I call them and inform them what happened, and I am told that, since I took it, even if they were to give me a free reschedule, this would still count as a cancel on my record. So, effectively, all they can give me is the score-review cancellation, but of course without being able to actually see my score first. You would think that after waiting for three hours I would at least have my June session paid, which I already plan to take, but no. Nothing at all. Effectively just a "eh, sucks to suck" and move on.

Unfortunately, this is the only system for the LSAT so I have to just deal with it and take again in June because I would rather have my score, whatever it is this time, than a random cancel on my record where I don't even see the score. Really disappointed but it just goes to show, they aren't here to service us, it is still a money-making business.

hi, I am currently doing practice blocks generated by the app, and I am on week two but last week when I started I actually was able to adjust the sections based on different time or whether the sections would show wrong questions right away or after each completed section, but now that’s not an option anymore. Can someone help me figure this out? Thanks
