Hi. Especially for folks drilling harder questions and passages, it would be SO helpful if the time allocated for a drill matched the TOTAL TARGET TIME (the sum of all the individual question or passage target times). Right now I think it matches the average time one should spend per passage or question times the number of passages or questions. This is not helpful when I am drilling level 4 and five passages (for example see below), which should take me 9+ minutes each, and the drill cuts off at 17:30. Please help!

I had to take some time off from studying due to a concussion and when I came back a bunch of my lessons which I had previously completed had lessons that were not incomplete in them. A lot of these lessons were drills. I am unsure if I somehow overlooked these when I was studying or if this a feature of the study plan. Does anyone know if this is intentional or if my study plan is just glitching?

1. The Inconvenience of the New Drill Flow Recently, the update changed how drills work in the study plan—they now start automatically. This is very inconvenient because:

• I can no longer adjust the specific level or details of a drill right before starting.

• Having to go all the way to the General setting page every single time just to change one drill's setting is highly inefficient for tailored practice.

• Request: Please bring back the old style where we could see and adjust the settings page before the drill begins.

The previous workflow was much more user-friendly for LSAT preparation.

I heard preptest 150 is much harder than other PTs on reddit and some said they scored lower on it, so Im wondering is that the case for many, if not most ppl who took it. My score was exactly the same as another test I took but I studied between PT 150 and my previous ( only a week but still ). I was wondering if it's possible that I could get a higher score on the real exam

I took my first LR timed practice today (I've been drilling untimed enough to begin this timed practice). However, I got -7 on it. This isn't terrible IMO, but it isn't particularly motivating knowing that untimed I can do at least -5. Any tips on how to flatten this last bit out? Any tips on acing the section? Thanks!

hi, does anyone who has ultimately gotten in the mid-170s have advice for how to prep after having taken once.

ive been ptest scoring in mid 170s, took april and didn't feel like i had enough time to be confident about (or even fully read) some questions. the week leading up to the test i took several sections that i performed more poorly on than usual.

before i can know what my score is, how do i stay in shape? is the best to still keep of routine of prioritizing sections with some light drilling on side for Q types i found hard on the actual test?

how long of a break (at this point its been 3 days) is best?

Question: My blind review score is around 147, but my timed score is about 130. What do you think is causing that gap, and based on that, do you think I’m ready to move into full exam prep next month, or should I focus more on accuracy and drilling first?

I recently started studying for the LSAT, and I feel behind and like I don't have a sense of direction. I have been following along with the 7Sage study plan that they have created for me, and I am currently still in the foundations section of the plan. I feel like maybe I should be drilling or doing some form of practice tests, but I also don't want to study the incorrect way.

What does everyone recommend? I do not have a set time that I want to take the LSAT, and I work a full-time 9-5, so I am unable to study 4 hours a day like I have read some people do. I unfortunately do not have a lot of law connections, so this whole process is sort of daunting.

Any help/recommendations would be great. I am trying not to get discouraged.

Thank you!!

This is my first full test, but I have a background in CS. I'm on the war path to 180, but proud of this score. My BR was not quite perfect but still considered a 180. Anyway please allow me this shameless brag—I'm especially proud of the 180 BR.

I'm not sure how this idea came to me, but in case anyone else thinks this would be cool, feel free to comment or message me.

Do you ever come across a super difficult question and get a little obsessed with it? Like you know the ins and outs of the stimulus and all the trap answer choices and never want to make the same mistakes again?!

My idea is that we each give the other a question (or a couple), we do them without digging too deep, and then the other person gives a really in-depth verbal explanation (via the study room, for example). So basically we’d be “experts” on a specific question and vice versa.

Does that make sense? Anyway, I find that explaining things to someone else helps me spot gaps in my understanding and reinforce what I do know. This could just be me, but I also find this type of discussion somewhat fun (I hope it's not just me)?!

All the best!

Hi! I'm planning to take the August LSAT and would love some study buddies/accountability partners. Is anyone interested in working together? Hoping to meet near Downtown, thinking the Rivian's public working space in Hayes on Sat/Sun early afternoons, but open to weekdays and other spots and times (:

Hi everyone! I am a division I student athlete right now trying to study for the LSAT! Some days are incredibly hard trying to balance everything on top of practice, lift, etc. and would love to connect with people who are in the same position. Feel free to join this study group if you are in a similar situation!

I took the April LSAT this past week at an in-person testing center (my first LSAT). It was, overall, a bad experience and not what I had expected.

We were sat in cubicle-like desks, with all test takers beginning and ending their exams at different times. This meant lots of people moving around/going in and out of the room throughout the exam. There were audible alarms going off every few minutes in the proctors area next door, as well as chatting from the proctors. The building also had a doorbell that would go off that was able to be heard from the testing room. When test takers would finish next to me, a proctor would come spray and wipe down their desk, which would distract me.

I’m really just wondering if this level of distraction is common at testing centers. They did offer ear plugs at the very beginning but I did not take them, as I did not expect as much noise/distraction. I really do not feel good about my testing experience and my anticipated score, given I was not able to focus the majority of the test. Maybe I’m just being dramatic or had too high of expectations for the testing environment, but I was very disappointed.

Okay so, I have an idea. It would be very cool if there was a memory trainer for the RC section. My idea is that there will be a tab under "Practice" called "Memory Training" and essentially us 7sagers will be given a certain amount of time to read a part of a passage(we can adjust how much time/passage before we start the drill) and we will have to answer questions or write down what we can recall from the passage. After we run out of time, the passage will vanish, it would make the users screen look like when you pause an activity, but the questions would be off to the right. Let me know if this idea is #awesome or #stupid. Thanks!

I am wanting to start an in person study group for anyone in the KC metro who is willing to meet in JOCO. I have been studying off and on for a long time (probably just under 2 years off and on for things like deaths in the family that just completely stopped my whole studying process). My blind reviews are at 180. My average is like 170 and my highest timed was 175 so far. I am hoping that by leading a study group I can help others understand whatever they are stuck on, bring my average up a few more points by June, and have something shiny to put on my resume other than working 40-80 hours a week (only at standard 40 now). I work 8-4 so MTWRF so available on weekends and evenings.

I also hope by posting something for KC whoever is on this site after I am gone can use this thread to see if anyone in the metro is still active and needing to find a study buddy.

When I go to click on my LR practice block for today, it is not loading. It, instead, pops up as "internal service error." How do I fix this issue?

Hi all -- I've been drilling LRs by temporarily selecting certain phrases with my cursor (without using the highlighter tool) to boost my comprehension (see below), but when I took the official LSAT I realized to my horror that the LSAC platform only let me use the actual highlighter to highlight text.

Did anyone else have this issue and has this always been the case for the LSAC platform? When I took a practice test on LawHub I realized that it also did not let me temporarily highlight the text like below.

Any tips for alternative ways to better digest the words on the screen under time pressure? I have tried not to use the highlighter tool as much thus far, but curious to hear what people have been doing.

Thanks!!

for the practice block, when we click LR drill or RC drill we used to see the setting page first and then test, but now it just goes right into the test so that I cannot adjust the level and the details. I want the old setting sytle.and when I click the setting instead of getting the test, it says "internal error"

I keep getting the same scores on my practice tests (all around 165), but when I do Blind Review, I always get around 180 -- so I can see that when I go back through, I know and can understand the right answers. I know that I keep running out of time on the test, and when I look back, I see that I missed a lot of answers because I rushed and skipped important key details. Despite this, I'm still a little discouraged and confused! Does this difference mean I just actually don't understand the concepts, or am I just not quick enough? How can I work on my timing and actually get a score closer to my blind review score? Does anyone have any suggestions?

I just scored a 175 on PT157.

Hi, I’ve been a member since the Classic 7Sage UI. One feature I really found helpful was being able to view the full stimulus, question stem, and answer choices in a single image. Would it be possible to bring this back?

I also frequently create drills using questions I’ve struggled with. It would be great to have an option to randomize these questions instead of having them appear in chronological order (PT–Section–Question).

Lastly, would it be possible to randomize the order of answer choices? I sometimes find myself engaging less with certain choices because I remember the position of trap answers.

I think these last two suggestions would enhance the drilling experience by making repeated practice less predictable and more effective.

Hi everyone! Just took the April LSAT remotely and wanted to come on here and say that THANKFULLY I did not experience any technical or proctor issues. I was super worried and had a negative attitude going into the test because all I have seen online are horror stories and I was convinced that there was no way this goes smoothly for me. BUT I ended up having a great experience and hopefully this helps someone who is feeling anxious about it because I know we can all get caught up in the negativities of the internet.

So to the people who have not taken it yet and are feeling worried about the proctoring system, just know that there is a possibility that everything will go fine!

For those of us just starting to look into joining the legal profession, this is a real fear and concern. Would like to hear the opinion of tutors, practicing attorneys, etc that are seeing how things are changing in today's age.

Hello! As I start to think about my application materials for the next cycle, I had a few questions about LORs.

1. I know I need a letter of recommendation from a professor, but I am unfortunately not that close to any and don't really have time to build a relationship with one. Has anyone dealt with this situation, and if so, how did you go about getting a strong LOR from a professor?

2. I am an RA and my supervisor has already written me a strong LOR speaking to my character and work ethic. Would it be a good idea to ask them for a LOR for law school, or would their letter carry less weight since their work isn't law-related?

Thank you so much in advance!
