I started working full-time and am struggling with having the energy to study properly after work. I've been in the mid 150s for so long, and will take my final attempt in November. At this point, does doing a section a day sound more reasonable or should I be doing targeted drills and sprinkle in some sections? I really don't know what's the most effective way for me to potentially break the 160s by November. Life is a bit tough at the moment..
Thank you!
You can now study in the 7Sage mobile app without an internet connection. On a plane, on the subway, or anywhere with no Wi-Fi, you can keep going.
Lessons
The text and images of every lesson are saved to your phone, so you can read any lesson anywhere.
Videos work a little differently. Downloading the entire video library would fill up your phone, so we make a smart guess about which lessons you’ll study next and download those videos. As you finish lessons, the app downloads the next ones. This all happens automatically.
PrepTests
You can take PrepTests offline.
PrepTests need a quick setup while you’re online:
Open Settings in the app.
Tap Offline.
Choose the PrepTests you want to take offline.
The app downloads them while you’re connected. Once they’re saved, you can take and review them anywhere. If you’re traveling, set this up before you leave.
Coming soon
We’re expanding offline mode in stages:
Sections. Take individual sections offline. This is next.
Study Plan drills. The drills in your study blocks will work offline.
Custom drills. Build and take fully customized drills offline.
Update: part 2 here.
I think it could be super helpful for a drill to automatically order itself in an ascending order of difficulty, kind of like a test section, when a custom drill is selected. I think this feature could be helpful for people targeting specific areas while also targeting harder questions, say, closer to an exam date.
For example, if someone has a drill for 'causal reasoning' and only selects 3, 4, and 5 star levels of difficulty to target questions they might get wrong under time pressure, it would seem to be helpful if there was an option for the order of the 3, 4, and 5-star questions to be somewhat ascending, like the actual test.
I feel like this could help speed up any second-guesses about what the right answer could be. For example, I know I have spent time second-guessing a prediction I made because I have been debating whether the first couple of questions on a drill were five stars.
I like the adaptive mode, but I think a feature of ordering on harder-difficulty questions could be really helpful. Thank you all at 7Sage for all the resources on this platform!
What are the thoughts on this? I’ve seen some people say that they’re tailoring, and others say that it’s useless and that you should stick to a generic essay for all schools.
The only ‘tailoring’ I’ve really done is making sure my essay follows formatting instructions and that it answers the prompts - though, with how broad most of the prompts are, that’s not difficult.
I guess I could try to tie them more to the school, but that feels like name-dropping that could easily backfire on me, especially if the school has a separate why x prompt that I could use to explain my interest.
Thoughts?
I honestly felt like I bombed this test but this is my highest score yet. I find that, when BRing, the questions I got wrong the first time come super easily for the most part with only one or two needing extra effort. It's like, when under timed conditions, I lose the plot somewhat easily and miss really easy questions sometimes. Anyone else feel the same?
Currently in a 173-174 rut (past 4 PTs). Need to climb to 176+ consistently before the November exam (so around 2.5 weeks). My blind review's are consistently in the 176-180 range, so I know that I'm conceptually adept and not lacking in understanding.
My main issue is fatigue. Around the 2nd-3rd section, I get fatigued and find it slightly more difficult to stay honed in on the next 2-3 sections of the exam.
Looking for general tips on how to build fatigue resistance / be able to stay dialed in on all 4 sections without a drop in focus and vigor.
If anyone is interested in studying RC together please let me know I am struggling so bad and could use all the help possible.
A lot of the LSAT isn’t intuitive, and sometimes learning a single pattern can completely change how you approach a question.
For example, in Reading Comprehension, if an author presents two opposing perspectives but never explicitly states their own position, the final perspective presented may help reveal the author’s implied stance and the passage’s main point—especially if the author leaves that perspective unchallenged. This isn’t an absolute rule, of course; you still need textual support.

I took a pt last week and i knew i could score higher, so i spent the week studying and retook it and i gained 7 points but im not sure if i should count it because there is that familiarity aspect
Must be true (MBT) questions have been a weakness of mine that I have been neglecting for a while, but enough is enough! After focusing on this question types, here are some of my key takeaways:
understand lawgic and the inferences that can be made from them. for example, if a stimulus says A most-> B and A -> C, you can properly infer that B <-some-> C. similarly, if a sufficient condition has two necessary conditions, you can draw a some relationship between those two necessary conditions. e.g.,: good hunters -> can kill up to 1/2 their body weight and good hunters -> have a high muscle-to-fat ratio. you can infer that some (but not all) that can kill up to 1/2 their body weight have a high muscle-to-fat ratio.
if you aren't understanding the conditional relationships in your head while reading the stimulus, quickly draw them out. I am not saying to do that for every question, but at least for me, some are impossible without it. that said, practice drawing them quickly and how to chain them to make inferences like I described above.
you cannot take the contrapositive of a most statement (maybe this is obvious to everyone but I was wondering this while drilling a question once and had to confirm afterward)
a contradiction between two claims in the stimulus does NOT mean you can conclude that one of them is false in the answer choices. what if the other claim is false or ill-founded? we have no idea.
saying a condition is not necessary does NOT mean it's not relevant. it can still be relevant even if it's not necessary
a correct MBT question might only address one of the necessary conditions presented in a stimulus that describes multiple necessary conditions. for example, if the stimulus says driving requires being over 16 years old and passing a test, the correct AC might just say "driving requires passing a test". that statement is still true even if it doesn't describe the other requirements.
while it might seem obvious, make sure you know the wording for the MBT questions so you don't confuse them with most strongly supported. here are the ones that I'm drilling in my brain: "which of the following statements can be properly inferred from the statements above?", "which of the following statements follows logically from the statements above?", and "which one of the following can be logically concluded from the information above?"
I am still working on improving this question type so I will update this list if I develop some more takeaways! Please correct me if you see any errors or feel free to add to this list :) happy friday
I justed completed allllllllllll of them and I totally enjoy the recap are there any more coming before the November exam.

Hi all! I'm curious as to if having 4 letters of rec gives a boost in your chances at admission? I have one from an internship - working at the State Capitol, one from a senior year professor, and two from both of the attorneys I currently work for. I'm curious as to if this will boost my chances at all - or if two would've done the same amount of heavy lifting.
TIA!
Hi everyone,
I'm curious about AI detection used in admissions. I've written all the essays entirely myself, and some of them have been flagged as around 63% AI.
And using the same software, I put a very similarly worded essay for a different school, and it comes out as 100% human. I'm not sure how to fix or avoid this.
How do admissions check for AI use and how can I prevent mine from being flagged with any AI percentage?
I've been teaching and tutoring the LSAT since 2002, and have extensive experience in designing, building, and revising LSAT courses - I know the test inside and out, and have worked with students at all levels and target scores.
My approach is based on working smarter, not harder. For RC, this means remembering it's an open book test, not a pop quiz. Instead of trying to memorize every detail, focus on the big picture overview, then use this to then correlate the language in the questions to where the answers will come from. For LR, this means having a consistent approach for each question type - what do we look for in the stimulus? Do we predict? What kind of language do we want in the answer choice? Can we go outside the scope? How do we "double check" an answer to make sure it fits?
I have some openings for the rest of the fall and winter, and am currently offering a half price first session - two hours for the one hour rate. I generally schedule between noon and 6 pm Eastern Tues-Sat but do sometimes make later times available if needed. If you're interested in getting more information or scheduling a meeting (I also offer a free phone consultation of up to 30 minutes for any questions you might have) please message me!
Hi all! Does anyone have some resources with more samples PS. I have read thru the 7Sage bank.
Would it be possible to move the submit button on drills further to the right? I keep accidentally clicking the submit button instead of the next button. I would also be ok with changing the color of either the next or the submit button. With them right next to each other and very similar, I get them confused.
Thank you so much! Y'all are the best!
Has your undergraduate or graduate course of study been interrupted for one or more terms for any reason?
I took a year (or two?) off after my freshman year, but this is all explained in my addendum because of personal circumstances surrounding housing insecurity and bad grades I got during my first semester as a result.
Do I have to submit a character statement about this? Or is my general addendum fine since it covers it?
7Sage team,
Can’t thank you enough for the LSAT Games app. I have always been one who learns best while playing. I struggled with conditional logic for a while, and now I finally get it.
Love the daily Logic Links, and can’t wait for more cases to solve or Logic & Order.
Happy to be a 7Sage girl!
Hi so I just listened to the podcast episode from August 10 about the new dual enrollment policy that excludes college classes taken in high school. It seems like they delayed the enactment of the change in policy to 2027-2028 cycle. Can anyone confirm if this is true. I’m getting mixed signals from people online. Thank you!

Hi! I'm applying to law school for the upcoming cycle and am looking for someone to review my personal statement and share feedback on what I can improve. This could also grow into reviewing some of my other optional essays. If anyone can help, please DM me your rates, and we can arrange it!
Who wants to swap personal statements and help each other review etc.
Hi, I just wanted to ask those who done the games to nail down LR, how helpful are they? I have never tried them, but they seem (for some) to work wonders. What has your experience been?
Hey y’all!
It's been some time since I initially posted about our study group, and we've now met for almost 40 consecutive days at 8 PM EST! So I wanted to extend another invitation.
Our sessions are review-based, focusing on argument structures, flaws, and different approaches to official LSAT questions.
We're currently grinding for November, but if you're preparing for January or February, this is a great opportunity to find a consistent group to study with over the next few months. It's also a chance to practice the collaborative discussion and reasoning you'll encounter in law school.
Tomorrow, we'll be working through a PrepTest question by question, discussing different approaches, and reviewing questions we miss.
I'll be on every night at 8 PM EST, but there's no attendance expectation. Just pop in whenever you can!
Interested? Comment below or message me for the Discord link! We use Discord for screen sharing and polls, and share the link privately to avoid forum spam.
Hope to see y’all! 🫡
