Hi guys!! My name is Grace and I am currently averaging in the mid to high 160s on my practice tests. I want to hit and break the 170 mark! I will be back from college in early May and would love to have some people to study with and do weekly tests with to hold each other accountable. Also happy to meet with people virtually too!!

I am a non-traditional student currently working as an executive full-time (CEO) in a high-stress field. I have been studying for about a year and am scheduled to test on April 9.

My mom passed away on Monday morning after a long battle with cancer, and because I travelled to support my parents, I haven't gotten much sleep in the past week. I think because of the stress and travel, I also got sick and have had a fever of 104-102 for the last few days. I need to stay to support my Dad until next Tuesday, so I will be flying for 12 hrs 2 days before I test.

I am deeply concerned that I will not test as well as I have the potential to, given the strain of the last few weeks, but I also feel like that's a cop out....if I were prepared in the first place, I should do as well as I would have anyway.

Should I just power through and have confidence that my prep will bolster my performance? Is it even possible to reschedule without penalty at this point? If I don't test, then I miss my last shot at this admission cycle, correct? If I test poorly, is it bad form to explain the circumstances?

Hello,

Does anyone have an interest in joining a daily reading comp study group? I took some classes with Bailey, who suggested reading a passage per day. The group is open to all skill levels. Ideally, we can work on the first passage on a reading comp section on one day and the next day do the second passage and continue the pattern. We will complete one passage per day and go through the passage, questions and answer choices with a fine-tooth comb to get a great understanding of the passage.

I'm open to meeting daily from 9 AM to 5 PM, PST.

Happy studying!

hi, if you start off with a really poor lsat grade but end up improving to the score you want does that look bad to admissions since they now look at all your scores? what kind of impact does it have if any on admissions. thx in advance 4 any info.

I am reading the Economist to study for law school, as someone here or on reddit had mentioned it as a good way to learn how to write in law school. I am wondering if it is also good for reading comprehension. If so, does anyone have any tips for how to study using The Economist?

For example, I am currently thinking of reading an article, then summarizing the main points of the article and the conclusion, and as an extra step, try to state my own opinion on the article. Let me know your thoughts in the comments. TIA

Hi all, is anyone interested in getting a study group going? I'm aiming for the June lsat and need to really focus. I work full time and available after 5pm on weekdays and afternoons on the weekend.

Please add a feature to detect duplicate copies of different drills opened, but not started. It would be great to see a full list of drills & duplicates at once, in addition to the scrolling list, as currently provided. An additional feature to select and delete all duplicates would be great too!! Please consider!!!

So I was at the AAC for the Mavs game and I saw this on the jumbotron. Do you guys think this is a sign?

Feeling burned out right before test day? In this episode, @AlexJacobs and @BaileyLuber tackle a question from Sharon, who's been studying for six months and has hit her target score on multiple practice tests but is battling mental fatigue with the April LSAT just days away. The hosts share practical advice on what to do (and what not to do) in the final stretch, including how to structure light study sessions, when to stop taking full practice tests, and why this last week is more about protecting your score than improving it. Bailey also shares a candid look back at her own LSAT journey and the lessons she learned the hard way across four attempts.

We just published this video on conditional logic! It's a great overview of conditional concepts that will prepare you for drilling. It's also a good preview / refresher of our Conditional Logic module for those of you working through our lessons.

Hello!

I’m based in the Alhambra area and am looking to put together a group of people for some in-person study sessions. I have been studying since March, and the score of my most recent practice test was a 159.

I am very serious about my prep for this test, and am looking for equally consistent and disciplined individuals to study with for ~2hr once a week. My target range is 170+. I have some flexibility with my time, and though I would prefer a weekend I am also open to meeting weekdays in the morning.

I am planning for study sessions to take place at the Alhambra Library, in one of their study rooms. I am open to other study rooms within a ~15min radius (i.e. if someone has access to local college study rooms such as PCC). I am looking to have a structured format that would involve warm-ups, drills, and breakdowns.

We may be a good fit if you

- Are using a platform to organize your study

- Have a similar target goal (170)

- Are testing in a similar timeframe

- Are able to commit to once-a-week sessions

- Are comfortable thinking out loud

- Prioritize growth over ego

I’ve been averaging between 20-30 hours of studying a week on my own, and at this stage I feel the support of a few good partners would be extremely beneficial!

If you’re interested, please reach out with:

- Your test date, and if you’ve taken it before

- Your current PT range

- Your biggest LR/RC struggles + strengths

- What you want from a study partner

- What you bring to the table

- Any additional questions you may have for me

If it feels like a good fit, I will move forward with setting a definitive day + time that works for everyone. Thanks for your interest!

How do we prepare for the writing piece of the LSAT? Are there any helpful resources.? I have been through the lessens and didn’t see anything on it.

Now you can hop into a study room right from your chat:

No need to leave 7Sage for Discord or Zoom. Try it out and let us know if you like it!

Taking the LSAT in August. Would love to get a tutor to help me get a great score.

Mike

Hi, Is there a reason we can't pick Aug 2026 test date in the study plan? It only lets me pick until June at the latests. I do plan on applying in the fall.. is Aug 2026 too late and that is why it is not letting me choose that date?

Hello - LSAC announced that they are rolling out a new test interface with "minor changes" for August test takers and beyond. Has anyone else seen it on the LSAC website? Product team: will we be able to see and work with something similar in 7Sage soon? Planning to take the September test.

Here's the link: https://www.lsac.org/blog/interactive-demo-minor-changes-test-ui

Recently I've noticed that the custom timing feature on LR and RC drills has been a little finicky. For example, if I want to create a drill and set the timer for say, 15:00 minutes, the page will start glitching once I begin entering my desired drill time into the text box. I never had issues with this before, but now, it feels like I have to fight my computer every time I want to create a custom time'd drill. Has anyone else had issues with this?

Just finished the LSAT core curriculum and frustrated that your Reading Comprehension timing isn't where you want it yet?

@AlexJacobs tackles a question from Zach, who's been drilling for a few weeks but can't hit the 8:45-per-passage average. Alex's honest answer: it's going to take time, and that's completely normal. No gimmicks, no shortcuts, just the reassurance that consistent daily practice is the only thing that actually works.

If you've ever felt behind on your LSAT prep timeline, this one's for you.

I wanted to ask the community and also maybe have 7Sage team chime in as I have been drilling with folks using the new "adaptive" feature that replaced the random question type setting. How has it been working for y'all? 🥹

I've been drilling in a group setting but for this past whole week I've been getting only conditional reasoning tag! I thought it was maybe just coincidence, but when others in my group streamed their drills, they got say, only flaws or evaluate. I'm guessing its based off our weaknesses but conditionals have actually been my strongest for the past few months...so even if I wanted to go with adaptive mode, I'm not sure how to impact the questions they throw at me...

Is there a way to change this to be truly random like it originally was?

Maybe I'm missing something... 🥲

Any help is appreciated! Thank you!

Hi All,

I took the LSAT in 2025 and am starting law school in the fall. Like you, I studied under a tutor; I will bring only actionable steps that made a difference in my own performance curve.

For roughly two to three months, I took enough practice tests to start seeing questions before falling asleep at night. I'd like to help you hit your target score much sooner than that point, and with far fewer tests.

Wherever you may be (phase-wise) in your prep, I'll hit the ground running with you to help devise an efficient routine. I started at a baseline score of 150, and hit 170 in my prep after worrying less about scoring fluctuations (ironically).

The authors have all the time in the world to design questions that attempt to confuse, distort, and frustrate your beliefs—resulting in a test of your tension tolerance as much as any general reasoning ability. I will make sure to include practice strategies to mitigate overwhelming nerves or common stress.

Another area of interest I'd love to assist you with: any application essays you may have or want to start considering. I'm from a family of writers and see the drafting phase of an application as a chance to understand yourself from a stranger's perspective.

Let me know if you'd like to start studying.

I just scored a 180 on PT144.

To God be the glory! You wouldn't believe how this test had me defeated, but now I am conquering the concepts and this next attempt will be my last. I claim victory over the exam. I will punch my ticket to law school and being of greater service to humanity soon. -Chris

I’ve been teaching and tutoring the LSAT for almost 25 years, since 2002. In that time I’ve worked as the national product manager for a major LSAT course, and worked with many hundreds of students, and helped to design courses from the ground up.

My LSAT philosophy is to work smarter, not harder. Narrow the test down to what you need to do to answer the questions, and don’t overcomplicate things needlessly. I focus on a high level approach to RC (get the big picture, then use the questions to research where you need to go into more depth) and having a clear plan of attack for each question type in LR. The goal is always to think about big picture changes to strategy; you’ll never see the same question again, but should take what you did wrong on one question as an indicator for what to do differently in your approach.

Tutoring sessions are usually two hours long; each session is pay as you go so you don't have to purchase a package of hours. I’m on the east coast and generally schedule between noon and 6 pm Tues-Sat, with other times negotiable on an individual basis. I graduated law school in 2006, have been admitted to the bar in NY and NC, and spend most of my time helping students prepare for the bar exam when I’m not working with LSAT students.

You can reach me by messaging me or emailing me directly at julielamberth@mac.com. If you email, please put “7Sage LSAT” in the subject line, and if you don’t hear from me within a day, follow up with a message here as your email may have been spam filtered.

Hi! I just took my very first PT and scored a 150. I would like to be up in the 160/165 range - would this be at all possible for the June test or should I just wait for August??

Also any tips for quick score raise would be great!!!

Perfectionism can be your biggest enemy on the LSAT. In this episode, @AlexJacobs tackles a question from listener Mia about how to handle frustration and discouragement when missing questions during study sessions. Alex shares a personal story from his own LSAT experience and explains why the perfectionist mindset, while it may have served you in other areas of life, can actively hurt your score. The key mindset shift: a wrong answer isn't a setback, it's one of the most valuable learning opportunities in your prep. Tune in for practical perspective on how to build resilience, stay focused on the bigger picture, and turn every mistake into forward momentum on your path to law school.

I am trying not to freak out. But my most recent PTs have all been steadily decreasing by 1 or 2 points and the same for the blind review (directly proportionally). Plus side, I have been getting harder questions correct. Downside is that I am getting easier questions incorrect and overthinking them even in blind review. I am taking the exam in April. I know they just did a podcast on kind of the same thing, but like I don`t have that much time. I know it's probably stress (health and work), but I don`t feel stressed, just numb to new information. Am I plateauing?
