May you all get high scores and big scholarships!
So I started studying for the LSAT last September and wanted to take the November LSAT, but I wasn't getting higher than a 150, so I decided against that. I am now back to studying and want to take the June or August LSAT. But I just aren't sure about how to go about studying. I wouldn't say I totally need to start over because I do have a basis. Does it make sense for me to use the study plan on here and do lessons for like 5 weeks and then practice for 3? I also have the loophole book, so how can I incorporate that into my studying?
Hi everyone! I'm testing remotely on Saturday and wanted to know if we are allowed to use a wireless/Bluetooth mouse and a laptop stand. I don't see anything mentioned on LSAC, so if anyone can clarify for me, I'd greatly appreciate it.
I want to apply this fall, and my intention was to take the June LSAT but I do not feel prepared at all. Is October too late to take the test for this admissions cycle?
I'm taking the April LSAT this week, but I am feeling so defeated. My scores on older tests/sections were good, but the April Crystal Ball said to practice with the recent sections because they are more comparable to the real test. These sections are now harder and my scores are not what I want. This is not a good way to be during test week and I am kind of annoyed 7Sage did not encourage these recent practice sections earlier on.
If I have a question about a certain topic, how do I find the comments or speak with other users about the video on my study plan? I see forums for study tests but I'm not on any study tests and this has to do with the lessons. Is there some chat room or something for people studying to speak with each other and support each other? I use 7 sage on both the computer and iPad, and neither are really intuitive to navigate for me. Any tips?
Hi everyone. Studying law is something that I've always wanted to do. I have a few family and friends that are attorneys and always enjoy discussions with them, both in general and about the law that they practice. It's always been an attractive career to me; however, I went to school for computer science and am currently a software engineer.
While I do love that job as well, I don't know that it will be my forever career, and I have been looking to make a career change into other fields that interest me, while retaining software engineering as just a hobby. Hobby programming is when I enjoy it the most anyway.
However, at this point in my life, I'm five years out of college. I started college two years late, and did a 4 year degree, so I'm almost 30 years old now. I may be able to do complete law school in three years, but in order to keep working at least part-time to support my family, I may need to do a four-year evening program at my local college's law school. If I study for the LSAT and start school next year (Fall '27), I would be done in 2031, at 35 years old. I'm all for it, but want to be practical. If this is a fool's errand, I'd like to at least know before I get started.
This is something I really want to do, and if I had no other concerns, I would just quit my job and get into the best 3-year law school I could and just enjoy it. With other responsibilities, I'm wondering though if this is even feasible. If anyone here has done something similar or if they know someone who's done something similar and made it work, would love to hear about that experience.
For what its worth, I'm historically a pretty strong (though unapplied) student and learner in general, although I can definitely tell I'm not as sharp as I was 5+ years ago :( But thats just to say I don't have pre-existing struggles with academics that would hinder me further in this.
Hi, I recently just discovered that I have to take my LSAT argumentative writing within 8 days of my LSAT, and I haven't practiced for it. I have an English degree and I am familiar with writing; however, I have a couple questions for the general guidelines of what is acceptable/expected of the argumentative writing section.
Questions (sorry so many)
1) Do we need to do in-text citations of a certain format? Or does simply (Perspective 1) work?
2) Should we aim for two or three points when arguing our perspective? I have extra time, but I am not sure if I should spend my extra time polishing my essay rather than providing more evidence or additional points.
3) Can we use anecdotal evidence? For example: the practice essay mentions career prep for University students, can I mention my schools career preparation center resources?
4) In regards to my previous question, should we use first person pronouns when sharing anecdotal evidence?
5) Do we need to use all the evidence provided? Or can we stick with a couple of sources?
Lastly,
6) Are we discouraged from direct quotations, should we paraphrase evidence provided?
I apologize for the million questions, I usually had very strict guidelines when writing essays in school and I can't find any information regarding these questions.
Thanks in advance!
(BTW I have to take it Thursday)
Improving your score is all about consistency. Now it's easier to stay on track with Streaks! Log in each day to keep your momentum going.
Suggestions? Complaints? Drop a line in the comments. We're always trying to improve.
I am genuinely crashing out on this.
I get like -4 -8 tops on single sections.
When I PT it is like -12 -14.
I dont need a high score to get scholarship where I intend to go to Law School.
However, this week's LSAT is eerily reminiscent of my October 2025 LSAT.
is it even possible to gain 8 points on a score consistently in 3 days? haha.
My plan is to test this June and turn around (assumig its a decent test score) and apply for this cycle here in FL. If I apply and am rejected because most of the seats are filled or it was just an average score, does this damage any future application to the same program?
Hi 7sage, It would be nice to have an option to drill in the older appearance that 7Sage used to provide around November 2024. I know the current drill appearance mimicks the real LSAT, but for some reason when taking the LSAT and seeing the questions appear differently from practice allows me to lock in better and creates an added reminder that you are doing the real thing. Could just be my preference, but it would be nice to have a different option for how the drilling appears from the actual test.
My blind review scores are amazing and keep going up each PT, but my timed scores are stuck in an awful range I'm struggling to break out of. ANY ADVICE WOULD BE APPRECIATED I'm crashing out ughh
Hey friends, I’m going to get a little personal here for a second.
I believe that I may have some undiagnosed ADHD. I really struggle with truly dedicating time and brain power to studying for the LSAT which really sucks because I truly want to be a lawyer, more than anything in the world. I find the test to be very daunting and large, so I feel rather unmotivated to tackle training for this thing, even though I know I need to. It’s easy to sit here and say, “I just need to lock in” because, even though I say that, I feel like I can’t make my brain/body actually do it. I also feel like this translates to other things in my life. It also sucks because like, I realize this about myself, but feel like I can’t escape it. I also notice other things like high-strung energy and feeling like I can’t focus on certain things without having this overall dread of overthinking what I’m doing to the point of forgetting or not being able to explain what I’m doing. I feel like I’m in constant brain fog.
My question is: Is there anyone out there who started practicing and studying before being diagnosed with ADHD and then went through the diagnosis process and then afterwords, noticed major upward changes in the results? If so, how did you go about it, and do you think it made THAT much of a difference?
If you respond, thanks for getting personal with your ADHD diagnosis!
Hey guys, I got a serious question:
So I was thinking about either taking the June or August LSAT (planning on taking either one in-person). I was wondering if the test center will allow me to show up wearing a full 2018 Lebron James game fit (jersey, compression tank, shorts, shoes, literally everything that my glorious king would wear).
I have been taking prep tests in chunks as well as in one sitting. How many prep tests should I take in one sitting before I take the real exam in June? Also, I have been getting a 145 before blind reviewing and a 155 after blind reviewing. What are some things besides drilling that I can do to increase my score? I am aiming to get a 160.
Somebody had a question about earplugs being used during the LSAT at testing centers for extra silence. I was intrigued because I, like many others, work better under absolute silence. I reached out to the LSAC, and below is their response on the matter:
"You can bring foam ear plugs as long as they do not have a string attached to them."
Quick sanity check before test day:
Over my last ~10 PTs I’ve been scoring 167–175, with most in the low–mid 170s (171–174). I also had two recent full simulations at 171–172.
That said, my last two LR sections were both -4 (I’m usually around -1 to -2), which has me a little in my head.
Review suggests it was more execution (overthinking, a couple careless misses) than gaps in understanding.
Does this just sound like normal fluctuation right before test day, or something to be concerned about?
I am trying to get into Lawschool. I am 31 years old and have a decent work resume in infectious disease research. My GPA is 3.59. I probably will score between 160 and 165 on my exam this week. Below is every practice exam I ever took. Think it's worth it to take again in June before applying to law schools? I want to raise my LSAT score as much as possible to override my not so great GPA and to get as much scholarship poetntial as possible. I live in NYC and want to go to Fordham or St Johns. I want to work full time through it but I guess that's another story. My true was goal was to get 166+ on my LSAT.
Hell everyone. My name is Elise and I am hoping to take the LSAT in August. I live in the Pomona CA area and am looking for a study buddy/group. I would love to meet in person once a week or every other week, but I am also open to doing zoom study sessions. If anyone is interested let me know and we can make a group chat!
Hello future attorneys,
I wanted to see if there are any students in the Pennsylvania area (Lancaster, Elizabethtown, Mount Joy, York, or Harrisburg) who want to form an in-person LSAT study group.
The goal would be to meet once or twice a week at a public library or coffee shop to review practice tests, and stay consistent in our prep.
Meeting in person helps with:
Accountability and staying on track
Real-time discussion and deeper understanding
Learning different strategies from others
Creating a focused study environment
I’m currently scoring in the mid-150s and aiming for a 165+. I’m planning to take the LSAT in June, so I want to stay fully locked in over the next two months.
If this is something you're interested in, please let me know and we can coordinate.

With deposit deadlines closing in, @JacobBaska walks through everything you need to know about the final stretch of the admissions cycle. Do schools actually negotiate scholarships right now, when applications are at a 15 to 20 year high? The answer is more complicated than the Reddit threads might suggest.
Jake breaks down how to find out if your school negotiates, what to say when you reach out, and what makes a compelling case for more money. He also covers the biggest change to law school financing in years: the end of grad plus loans and what that means for how you budget your legal education.
Plus, a look at the data on LSAT test takers and what it signals for next year's applicant pool, and why if you're planning to apply next cycle, earlier is better than ever.

@AlexJacobs and @BaileyLuber are joined by @Kevin_Lin, 7Sage's senior content creator, to tackle one of the most debated topics in LSAT prep: conditional logic and diagramming. Is diagramming a must? A waste of time? Somewhere in between?
Bailey shares what it was like to resist diagramming through most of her own LSAT journey and what she wishes she'd known sooner. Kevin breaks down why even students who "get" basic conditionals can get tripped up by the harder stuff on test day. And all three push back on the idea that 7Sage is all diagrams, all the time.
Whether you're just starting out and feeling overwhelmed by sufficient and necessary conditions, or you're deep in your prep and wondering if your current approach is holding you back, this episode will help you figure out where diagramming fits in your studies.
I took pretest 149 and got a 150. Days later, I did Preptest A and got a 158. Today I took PT 126 and got a 153. I struggled on RC more than my previous practices because two of the passages were HARD. I studied and learned concepts since my 150, but it's been a week. Where would that place me? Was my score on Preptest A a fluke, or could I get a 158
