this was my 5th practice test, other two were on LSAC and were 138 and 135. I started studying in september early, with the lsat trainer book clearly didn't help me just taught me the basics i guess, i finished it, and have had 7 sage for barely a month. Since i have been going down i went back to the foundations and core curriculum for about 3 weeks now. I feel like doing the core curriculum things are starting to click and i wanted to take a prep test just to see where im at. do you guys reccomend sticking to foundations and not doing preptests or should i keep doing them weekly? My goal is to take april lsat aiming for 160+

Please give me advice w out discouraging me more than i already am

Hi! I just began studying for the LSAT and would love to join or start a study group. Happy to do in person or online with people in NYC! Let me know if anyone would like to form a study group or can invite me to an existing one!

I took a practice test a few months ago for the first time and got a 161. I did not study additional LSAT material since then, but I retook a different practice test just now and got a 168. I have a lower GPA so I need a higher LSAT score for law school admissions. My goal is a 171+ but hopefully around the 173-174 range. Should I go ahead with schedule and take the LSAT that I am signed up for in January, do intense prep until then, and risk having to retake in the future? Or should I reschedule for later in the year when I have prepped more so I only have one good attempt on my record?

Hello, good morning, my journey with the LSAT has been a rollercoaster to say the least. I am taking it for the second time next year, April.

I am eager to study; however, I want to be held accountable and be able to pace myself with someone, group of others.

I currently work at a law firm, Mon-Fri. Weekends work best for me. Please comment, like, share, if you're interested in tackling this thing together.

I am planning and going to attend law school in the fall of 2026, that is the goal.

Let's do this thing.

Please comment, share your information, I want to turn my dreams into reality.

I started studying for the LSAT in the beginning of September and spend about 2 hours a day studying for the exam. I originally planned to take the LSAT in February, but am now considering taking it in April because I am not sure I feel ready. I really want to score high 150s - 160. Is it bad that I am pushing off this test? Is about 7 months of studying, 1-2 hours a day good?

I took the LSAT in August, took a break 3 month break from studying, and I'm ready to get back into it! Does anyone have any advice on the best way to resume studying?

I find that when reviewing the question explanations, especially the videos after I've completed BR, I want to move the explanation window so I can see the first take and BR results. The window is centered w/o the ability to move.

I’m new to this discussion forum and currently preparing for the LSAT. I really like how structured the 7Sage lessons are, especially for logic games and logical reasoning. Sometimes the preparation feels overwhelming, but following a clear plan helps a lot. One thing I’m learning during LSAT prep is how important attention to detail is. Small mistakes in assumptions or timing can change the whole answer. This mindset is helpful not only for exams but also in real life work. In my daily job, I also deal with detailed planning and calculations, like working on moisture protection estimating services, where accuracy and careful review are very important. I feel these skills connect well with LSAT thinking.

Wishing best of luck to everyone studying, and happy to be part of this community.

I know the city has to be crawling with so many of us, looking for a biweekly study session-- for accountability purposes

is anyone else experiencing this weird bug where when you search for a question, it doesn't pop up. Like for example on analytics or when you try to build a drill manually?

It started happening around 2 weeks ago and it's been really bothering me.

Does it really matter to law school admissions if you have fewer LSAT scores with an application? I am considering changing my test date (currently scheduled) from February to April, or just taking both tests. I already have a previous LSAT score, so I want to know if it would make much of a difference on an application if I had two scores or three? Should I reach out to individual schools?

Applicants are up 22 percent from last year, and LSAT test-takers are up 19 percent. That’s leaving a lot of applicants wondering what this cycle really looks like.

This episode of the 7Sage Admissions Podcast features our Fall 2026 Application Vibe Check Deans Roundtable, with a panel of law school admissions deans discussing the realities of the current cycle.

They address key questions applicants are asking right now, including whether January 1 is too late to apply, whether admissions teams are being more cautious this year, common application pet peeves, and what they consistently like to see in strong applications.

If you’re applying this cycle and trying to make sense of rising application volume, this episode will help you understand what matters most.

In Classic 7Sage, I could just drag screenshots of existing questions straight to my iPad, but it looks like that feature has been removed in the new version. Is that right?

I just switched to the new 7Sage yesterday. I noticed that I can no longer select the quick view feature for a question that would allow me to drag the image of the question to my desktop or to another tab. Up until now, I have been opening those and quickly dragging them to my wrong answer journal or to a word document for printing.

I would really appreciate if this feature was brought back and believe other students would benefit from this as well.

Hi everyone, just wanted to share a review tip that has been really helpful for me. I have found it really helpful during some of my review to talk through sections outloud in real time, recording my entire process on a voice memo app (Macs have a really good one built in). This process allows me to get a real picture of my thinking and process for every question. I found that way to often I was reviewing questions and the only feedback I had for myself was "oh man this was so obvious, what a stupid mistake" but this didn't help me understand why I actaully made that mistake, or why I preffered one answer choice over another.

By doing this for sections and pts, I have been able to allocate review time much better, and to accurately diagnose my wrong answers without the hinderance of hindsight clouding my process.

Good luck, and hope this helps someone.

To take a practice test for the first time to see my starting point to take my improvement, should I just take a prep test on 7Sage or where should I take this test?

Hi there, i was wondering if 7sage still has the law school explain section on the new site? If so, how do I switch over. Thank you!

Hi!

I've been studying for almost 3 months (1st with the core curriculum and then with drills and live classes), but my PT scores haven't changed. I notice I do understand the test more, but I'm struggling to decide how to structure my study moving forwards. Should I target slower understanding or drills with more pace? Some guidance would be appreciated! Currently planning on the February LSAT>

I just scored a 147 on PT127.

This was my first time taking a practice test. In many ways this is my diagnostic. My goal is a 160 on test day. Any advice or thoughts?

Hi guys, just curious what do you do to get into that laser focus and flow state? Should I drink coffee or energy drink or some kind of supplement? I seem to zone out sometimes during my PT's unfortunately. Thanks for the help!

I just reached the Practice block sections of 7sage. I generated the blocks and was curious how 7Sage determines what questions and topics they give you? Do I need to manually edit my preferences, or does it use analytics from previous drills/practice questions I did during the curriculum. I want to make sure I am practicing in the weak areas as well as hitting all different question types.

As the title states, I just need a bit more clarification on how to know when I need to find an answer that asks me to identify the missing link, rather than an answer that, if negated, would weaken the argument.

I recently attempted this question and was stumped to find that I needed to find an answer that was the missing link.

Hi everyone! I'm wondering if anyone has advice for struggling with the PTs in the 150s. I know a lot of prep companies etc. say that there isn't much that is different about these newer exams, and it's oftentimes just test anxiety that makes people do worse, but I uniquely score below my median only on certain exams in the 150s (specifically 150 itself, 151 and 152 were most difficult for me).

For anyone else who has this issue, were there specific question types, etc you worked on drilling? I'm wondering what I can do or hone to make sure that this no longer is somewhat of a blind spot for me. For the most part, I get tripped up in these RC sections, but also on LR questions with atypical ACs (as opposed to one question type more so than the others).

Just did it and each section dropped like 8 points, it's actually depressing. Hopefully someone might know why that is or maybe my skill went randomly down.
