Hi all. I'm brand new to LSAT studying, and was immediately pointed toward 7sage.

I've seen so much about not wasting PTs, but I'm curious about "wasting" drilling questions. So far (for the two or so weeks I've been studying) I've been doing a 3-5 question LR warm up each day, just to get myself into study mode, thinking about the concepts, etc. But now I'm wondering if this is an unsustainable practice.

Does anyone do anything similar? Have you run into issues?

If not, do you do anything particular to focus yourself before diving into studying?

Scoring between mid 160s to mid 170s. Looking for someone in a similar score range (or higher) to double down in the upcoming weeks.

Looking to over-train and do sections/drills that are much harder than anything we'd see on the exam. Looking to do ~3 hour days.

My main struggle areas are PF w/ similar answer choices, heavy conditional MBT, and heavy conditional SA.

Mainly work through discord. Drop a comment or send a dm.

Hi all,

I have a question regarding my letters of recommendation. I work as a paralegal at a small law firm, for two partners (husband and wife) who work very closely with each other and myself on pretty much everything. When I asked them to write letters of recommendation for me, they suggested writing one letter together rather than two separate letters. I did some research and have read that this is not recommended. However, I also feel that two letters from each of them may turn out to be redundant.

I should also note that I've been out of college since 2021, so I feel I'd be too far removed to ask a professor for a letter.

Has anyone encountered this before? Any advice on how to go forward?

Thank you!

Hi everyone!

I know this might be a reach since the April exam is right around the corner but I was wondering if there was anyone in the Connecticut area who was looking for a study buddy or group. I'm open to both virtual or in person.

I'm looking to create a safe space for motivation, sharing, and learning for the upcoming April LSAT exam.

Please feel free to comment if you're in the area or looking to get a study group going!

Thanks!

I'm just going to be real.

This test will demoralize you and really shake your confidence in your own cognitive abilities and self-efficacy. Oftentimes, you'll be stuck because you aren't able to know what you don't know and spend weeks to months hustling backwards. If anyone is in a similar place and wants to give/receive encouragement, tips, and complain/vent, I hope you'll feel comfortable enough to text me at XXXXXXXXXX or message me. Studying for this test can be very isolating because only the people studying for this test have any concept of how difficult it is. No one gets it. One of the ways this test can break you down is by creating incredible amounts of self-doubt that didn't exist before, especially if you are traditionally a high performer. It is comforting to know that you aren't the only one crying and losing your shit, which is why I wanted to get in contact with people who want to be real about how this test has affected their self-concept. It's very possible to lose months to even years of your life studying for this test while making no gains, and losing tens of thousands of dollars through tutors (non 7sage) who charged exorbitant fees and didn't give you the foundations, enough structure, or could not accurately diagnose where you were going wrong in your practice. Being able to talk to other people who are in the trenches with you and who also have been thoroughly demoralized and/or financially ruined by predatory grifters who were ineffective/condescending teachers can help you feel less alone and less that it is a "you" problem while helping to up your morale and figure out a game plan, manage test anxiety, and avoid pitfalls that will eat away at your morale, savings, and self-efficacy. Let's learn from each other's mistakes.

This test is deeply classist and ableist and we should stop being collectively gaslit that our performance on this test is determined primarily by merit and effort versus being heavily dependent on financial resources, support, and connections. Giving everyone who is reading and relating to this a virtual hug. You are not a loser and you are not stupid. Your tenacity and resilience will ultimately be rewarded. Let's give each other the privilege of knowing.

Hi everyone!

If you’re prepping for the April or June 2025 LSAT and looking for accountability, motivation, and a supportive study community, let’s connect! I’m starting a study group for test takers in the NJ/NYC area—whether you prefer to meet virtually, in-person, or a mix of both, we’ll figure out what works best for everyone.

The goal is to:

Stay accountable & consistent with studying

Share strategies, struggles, and wins

Create a judgment-free, motivating space to improve together

I saw groups in this area for people aged 25+, so I wanted to make this group for those who are younger (Early 20s)! If you're interested, drop a comment or DM me! Let’s do this together :)

Hi! I got logged out of my devices and couldn't log back in. I changed the Password, however, I'm permanently logged out of everything and it says that the new password is incorrect!!! I pay for a subscription, so I'm upset that I can't access it. What do I do?

I'm taking it either in April/June - looking for study buddies! Currently scoring in 163-174 range. Please comment or message me if you're interested in meeting up to drill or review sections together!

Hi all! For those that have already taken the LSAT, what are your experiences in taking it online or in-person? 🥲

Which is better in your opinion (pros/cons)? Even if you haven't taken the other format, why did you prefer the format?

Context:

I am very new at all the LSAT test-taking experience. I planning to take my first LSAT in April and am very nervous. I want to register tomorrow (don't want to risk doing things last minute) and was considering doing it online, but am not sure if my choice on where to take the test impacts admissions in any way and such (e.g. online test takers are more at a disadvantage for admissions). I want to think taking it in-person is better but am not sure what testing facilities look like, procedures, etc. and if I would be distracted by other test takers. For online, I read there are camera requirements, and am not sure if I need to buy special equipment? My house is not the quietest place because of pets and busy family members, and was planning on taking it in a neighbor's home...hopefully that's allowed? If there was some unprecedented noise, such as siren noises, dogs barking, etc. would I be cited? I took the written driver's test online during COVID and my first account with the proctored system disqualified my test because there was a front door chime going off every time my parents were opening the door as they were bringing groceries inside and the test thought I had my phone with me. After this experience, I became more nervous on taking proctored tests especially when there is a cap on the number of LSATs one can take...

Thank you all ahead of time.

I may not reply to comments, and thought to leave this forum here also in case others have similar questions

since no one responded-just not worrying about this anymore I'm the type of person that loves assembling things together without using other people's instructions, and I'm having a really hard time going into any part of the existing core curriculum content, especially with the large amount of hours that defaults at the top. I did go through the old version w/ lg and part of the new really fast and didn't retain much if at all- got a decent score but want the best score I can get. I'm confident that I can find my own path. But I thought maybe finding some reliable, consistent and responsive who is slowly working their way through the new core curriculum might be beneficial for me. Let me know if you might be that person. I'm on a work hiatus for a few weeks so I have a lot of time for now.

Hey everyone, I'm trying to think wisely about which LSATs I could get the most out of this year and welcome any advice. I plan to take up to three LSATs total this year.

Here's my story:

I decided at the end of last year to matriculate in Fall 2026. Took a practice test without any study and scored 161. My target score is 175.

Around January I began studying on the LSAC website. Having discovered 7sage and better studying habits, I consider this first month a wash. Nonetheless, during this time I registered for the April 2025 LSAT.

Part of me now considers this a mistake as I doubt my score will improve very much over the next month. However, some friends have convinced me that it is worth it just to acclimate to the test environment and see what I score under real conditions.

Initially, I planned to take it again in June and August. I now think I should skip the June test to extend my study time and take the August test and either the September or October test.

The advantage of the October test is an extra month of study after the August test and the disadvantage is that with scores released on October 24, I will be looking to submit applications at the end of October/beginning of November. This is a little later than I would like for schools with rolling admissions (I am located in Boston and will apply to Harvard as my sort of platonic ideal). The inverse, of course, is true for the September test.

Currently within my situation I have time for 1-2 hours of dedicated study per day weekday (more on Saturdays, perhaps less on Sundays).

My explicit question for you all is whether you think the September or October test is a better bet (consider, for example, the impact of applying for rolling admissions schools a month into the process -- am I overestimating this?). Of course, I welcome any and all other advice given the information I've provided. Happy to clarify anything either described above or details I may have neglected to include.

Thanks all. Appreciate your time.

The category of questions in logical reasoning that I have had the most trouble with are parallel or analogy questions. I am wondering if it would be worthwhile to, upon coming across them in the test, flag these questions and move on and come back to them at the end of the section. The questions are massive time eaters and I feel like my time could be better spent elsewhere. And even still, I will be coming back to them at the end anyway. I'd love to hear of any insights into this. Thanks.

Hello all! I would appreciate your honest feedback about my situation.

My dream school is Georgetown Law due to some of the dual programs they have, and I think I have a really strong application for this next cycle. As of now, I have a 4.0 GPA from an Ivy, with two well-known professors from the law school here writing a letter of rec for me. According to my tutor, I also have a very strong resume given my experience at some top firms around the country, and my research assistant positions at my school's law school as well as some con law extracurriculars. Given my interest in the public sector, my resume and personal statements help me in this way too.

My only potential issue is the LSAT, as I got a 165 for my first try this January. Because of a family situation that developed, and school+work, my ability to dedicate as much time to studying for the LSAT has been severely restricted. I can still study here and there, but I'm not sure how much progress I can make to raise my score given my situation, at least for this cycle.

So I was wondering if anyone could share their opinions about my competitiveness for Georgetown Law. With my resume, GPA, and score, do I have a good chance of getting in? I know their median is 171 this year but I don't know how much the extracurricular and GPA elements can help my application.

Hi, I’m offering 4 free tutoring online sessions (1hr/wk) to 1-2 students who completed the core curriculum but PT scores are in plateau. I originally planned to do this to help someone in financial hardship, but anyone is welcome and you don’t need to prove anything!

I started with a diagnostic test score of 134 and ended with an official score of 164.

I had a hard time increasing my scores because I immediately started PTing without strong foundation after a month of study. Looking back, I should have focused more on basics, especially translation of stimulus and passages.

Thus, I’d like to teach LR & RC translation skills and some question tips. I’ll be using materials from old PT 40-50s.

Please reach out to me via chat if you are interested.

Early mornings like 7-8 AM EST work best for me and late night after 9 PM EST also works for me.

Thank you!

=========================================

Already two people reached out to me and we're talking, so I will let you all know again if it doesn't work out or there's vacancy.

So my friend told me that the practice tests are the most important when it comes to succeeding with the LSAT. Is that true?

Wouldn’t it be to go through all the videos and understanding them more important?
