For some background. I took the lsat jan 2025 and got a 149, now I am averaging in the 155s. My goal is minimum 160 for the june lsat... I haven't signed up yet as I feel like I wont be able to reach this score.

Any tips to get me to the 160s, it seems impossible.

Thanks!

EDIT: I have been trying some tips i have been given, i have found taking my time on as many questions as possible and the last few questions to focus on less seems to improve score. Hope that helps anyone in same situation

Hi everyone,

I’ve been studying for the LSAT for a few months and keep running into the same issue in LR.

I can usually narrow it down to 2 answers, but during timed sections I often pick the wrong one. During blind review, I get it right much more often.

So it feels like I’m getting trapped by answers that sound right or are possible, but not actually proven.

Any tips on how to improve answer selection between two close choices?

Do you use any specific rules or mental checklists?

Thanks!

I am rewriting the LSAT because the score I got was not high enough. I did the accelerated study plan and then switching over to practice only, with the pre-exam phase study block, last time I wrote the LSAT. This time around I've done the entire core curriculum and now want to officially start practicing. When I go to make my study plan, it says I've already done the practicing phase and even when I add another study block, it's telling me to rest for 3 days of the week. How can I change that? How can I make the study plan recognize my strengths and weaknesses from before and also as I was doing practice during the core curriculum? Is there a way to reset the system so it stops telling me I've done everything already? I did not study properly the last time I wrote it and basically want to start from the top again.

Hello, I am writing my LSAT on August and would love to create a few study buddys for the evening around 6PM MST Monday-Thursday. Preferably, people either in CAN or Edmonton but open to anyone of course!

I am taking the test on Saturday, and I feel like I am being toooooo chill in advance of the test. What should I be doing.. how should I be prepping?

Hi everyone! This may be a silly question, but on testing day, granted the exam is in person at a testing center, is the LSAT administered on paper or on a computer? I am trying to understand if I should start printing PTs to give myself more realistic testing conditions.

Please let me know. Thanks so much!

Study scheduler changes in the middle of studying. I worked so hard to stay on track, and now my study schedule says I am three days behind. Has this happened to anyone? and how did you get it fixed

TLDR: a feature that recommends questions for BR but not be able to see why it was flagged. For example:

I would like to review an answer that I got right but "took double the usual amount of time on". However, at the moment if I hovered over the BR review flag it would explain why - which would insinuate that I got the answer correct and lead to me select the same answer again for the BR.

In other example, the BR recommendations also lead me to seeing "I selected the wrong answer" and then simply crossing out my incorrect answer choice and going through the other 4 options without taking the time to see why I got it wrong in the first place.

Basically, I am able to "cheat" through BR by using the recommendations and I want to avoid this by properly going through the BR recommended questions without knowing why. I know the simple answer would be self-restraint from hovering over the little "!" BR recommendation, but it would be nice to be able to turn it off.

Thanks for your help!

How does 7Sage calculate the PrepTest equivalent score?

I got -4 on PT138.S4, and my "preptest equivalent" score was a 164. Then I took PT104.S1, and I also got -4, but the "preptest equivalent" score is 169. This seems like a big jump for the same number of questions. Does this just indicate that PT104.S1 was a harder section than most?

I've been listening to the 7Sage admissions podcast and panicking. I was wondering if I could get a second opinion on my chances of getting into Penn State Dickinson Law? Preferably from @JacobBaska :), but I'll take ANYTHING!

I am a junior at Penn State, studying Human Dev. & Family Science, minor in Social Justice. 3.92 GPA, 1500+ hours of volunteer work, have worked 30 hours a week through college, involved with SGA as a chair, and involved with THON (largest student-run philanthropy in the nation) as a chair as well.

However, I was placed on academic probation at a community college when I dual enrolled. I had a 1.9 GPA due to me taking 15 hours of straight sciences. Being homeschooled, I had no clue how bad testing effected me. I thought it was my study habits. I sought help, found a therapist, and have many coping strategies now. However, I did not meet SAP even after being diagnosed with panic disorder and severe OCD. I hope to write an addendum.

I have obviously well recovered since then, but I completely forgot the LSAC could see the mistakes I made at 13 years old. Yes, I was 13 in dual enrollment. I am 16 now. I've got LSAT age waivers and accommodations to help me take the test in June 2026. I would be 17 when I start law school next year.

As far as the LSAT goes, my first diagnostic score was 139 on March 10th. As of today, my PT is averaging 150. 11 pt increase in a month isn't awful, but I have less than 2 months to go. I'm aiming for a 165, in hopes that I at least make a 155 (median admittance score). Is that increase possible? If not, will I be able to get in, even with my awful past issues?

I've heard they give priority to PSU undergrads, so maybe that will be in my favor? My personal statement also covers why it's my dream school. I want to use my JD to open a non-profit benefitting children and families of color in poverty in Philadelphia and Penn State Law has so many awesome clinics. They also founded an anti-racist institute. I feel like I am a perfect fit and I would give my firstborn child to get in.

Being able to print out drills would be a huge help for me and many others. I know 7Sage allows us to print pts, but being able to customize a drill and then print it is the feature I would use most.

Feeling sheepish because I disregarded practicing my pacing on Reading Comprehension until the last minute... ran a full diagnostic, and just wasn't able to keep up with the RC. LR is solid, and where I want to be. RC, I was still reading the last passage. I practiced RC up front because I knew pacing was going to be an issue, but I kept procrastinating pacing exercises. Timed LR + untimed RC gets me a 178-180. Timed RC, it's 172-174. So I just pushed it to June. Any suggestions on pacing exercises for the next 7 weeks? I have an eye issue and paper/pencil accommodations, so I'll need to sort of DIY my own pacing drills.

hi! generally i go like -1 to -2. taking LSAT on saturday and decided to take a couple RC sections for practice this week. on several sections from ptests in the 130s, i just got like -4s and -5. freaking out a bit as ive been feeling confident up until now, and worried that these sections will reflect my test. has anyone found these RC sections to be harder? and does anyone know if these are similar to modern day RC difficulty?

It would be nice to have a WAJ feature that analyzes the incorrect and correct answer choices. An actual digital WAJ that students can use to track their progress, instead of keeping the WAJ on a spreadsheet or in a separate notebook. This feature may encourage more students to journal their mistakes while keeping track of their strengths and weaknesses.

Hi everyone, I wanted to ask when should I do PTs? I generate practice blocks and it generates 1 PT per week which I usually skip to do more drilling. I've taken 2 PTs (the diagnostic 143, and 1 after core curriculum/study blocks which was 151.) My question is should I be doing PT every week, 2 weeks, month? I would like to take the Aug/Sept test.

The reason I'm asking as well is the last time I took a PT (151 score) I spent so much time in BR and review because I missed a bunch of questions. I'm wondering if drilling will be more efficient (as it's easier to review smaller amounts per day) until I up my accuracy to a certain extent or do I need to sprinkle in some PTs here and there.

Hi everyone, I'm just getting started with 7sage. How do you guys use the learning modules (the core curriculum) to study? It doesn't seem efficient to take notes on it all, but I also don't feel like I'm retaining anything. Thanks!

Hey everyone, I’m getting pretty frustrated with LR and wanted to see if anyone else has dealt with this.

I just did a section where I scored -12 timed (14/26), but my blind review was -6 (20/26). So clearly I somewhat understand the questions when I’m not under time pressure, but something is going wrong during the actual section.

What I’ve noticed:

• I’m getting easier questions wrong (especially early/mid section)

• I spend way too long on questions that shouldn’t take that long

• I end up only attempting ~20 questions because of time

• Then in blind review, I go back and get a lot of those same questions right pretty quickly

It feels like during timed sections I start second-guessing everything and rereading too much, especially on questions I actually do understand.

Has anyone dealt with this kind of big BR vs timed gap?What helped you speed up and trust your answers more during the section?

I am confused as I am watching more decisions roll out in the decision tracker tab. Why would schools deny students that have high LSAT and GPA? What factors would get them denied other than those? This is not in reference to the top ranked schools.

I’m working toward breaking into the 150 range, but I’m honestly not sure what I should be focusing on right now. I feel a bit stuck and could really use some guidance.

If anyone has tips, strategies, or things that helped you improve, I’d really appreciate it. Whether it’s study methods, resources, or mindset shifts, anything helps!

Thanks in advance

Hi everyone, I’m working through the Foundations module and I’m hitting a wall with chaining conditionals. I understand how to diagram individual sentences (using the G1, G2, G3 rules), but I’m confused on the "glue" that connects them.

Specifically, I’m struggling with:

1. How do I know which brick goes "first" in the chain if the stimulus doesn't present them in order?

2. If I have one brick that is positive (A -> B) and another that is negative (/A -> C), I know I need to flip one to make them match, but I’m struggling to see why or how to pick which one to flip.

For example, with the Wizard/9th-level spell drill, I could diagram the parts, but I couldn't figure out how to bridge the "Not 9th-level" sentence into the main chain.

Does anyone have a specific "checklist" or a different technique they use to decide when to take a contrapositive to force a chain to connect? Below is how I worked through the question if it helps with my question!

Wizards that cast ninth-level spells command a great deal of magical energy. Only wizards who possess extensive training in the arcane can control such magical energy. Spellcasters who can’t cast ninth-level spells still have more to learn.

heres my work: I don’t see an indicator word here, im tempted to put great deal of energy on the left but im gonna take the wizards part to be ALL and use that as a sufficient for G1 SO: FIRST BRICK: W Cast 9 level spells -> great deal of energy

Only is g2 necessary so SECOND BRICK: Can control such energy -> Wizards who posses extensive training in arcane.

It says that if they cant cast ninth level spells so that cant makes it a / so

Conclusion: /Ninth level spells - > Still have more to learn

So all together: W Cast 9 level spells -> great deal of energy, Can control such energy -> Wizards who posses extensive training in arcane. /Ninth level spells - > Still have more to learn

Chained its: W Cast 9 level spells -> great deal of energy -> wizards who possess extensive training -> /still have more to learn.

I know its wrong but im so confused...

I am taking the writing section today with the goal of taking my first official exam this Saturday, which I am quite nervous about. What should I expect for the writing section? I know its 50 minutes, with 15 being preparation and 35 being writing time. I majored in English and History in undergrad so I am familiar with writing papers, albeit with a far wider timeframe than the one we receive. Does anyone have any last minute tips?

Thank you!

Hi everyone! I am going to retake the LSAT again for the 4th time sometime in August or September (I know 4 is crazy, I am trying so hard). Does anyone have any tips to improve from 148 to a higher score? I am begging, and desperate, thank you anything helps

7Sage suggests you should go through all the questions you feel confident about first, leaving harder ones for your second-go-through. This makes a lot of sense for LR, but I don't know how the approach would work for RC. Do you go through all of a RC section and leave all uncertain questions unanswered before your second pass OR do you do you first pass-through of a passage and then hit the unanswered Qs in that passage before moving on? (or another approach)

There's just a big difference in terms of the information you have to keep in mind between LR and RC. I would love to hear people's strategies on this...
