Feeling the Stress

My BR is easily 20 - 25 points higher than my timed conditions PTs.

I am understanding concepts but application under time is actually ruining my faith in my comprehension of this stuff. I completely crack under time. Not characteristic of me, truly.

I take the November LSAT with a goal score of 160. I am testing at 149 - 153.

Not going for a top school.

My diagnostic was 140 8 months ago. I've been burning out studying the past 3 months diligently. The first 5 months were a wash. Yes I spent a ton of time in core curriculum the first 5 months on the old 7sage platform. I have been a live class member since I started with 7sage.

In a tight spot. Give me anything you have to break through this wall I keep hitting.

If nothing else, it felt good to just spill to the group haha.

BR Issues

Anyone else having weird inconsistency in which questions are recommended for BR? In the past few days, I have been recommended to BR questions I got right on the first pass and am 10-15 seconds under the target time. It really throws me off and doesn't help my confidence in the moment. Is this a 7Sage glitch or an update in the BR process?

Can a feature be added where we can filter questions for our drill based on if they were done a while ago (i.e. over a month ago)? Like if I am running out of questions for a certain question type, it would be great for the drill to select any fresh questions i have and then pick any seen/answered questions that were not recent (so there's less of a chance of doing them recently and remembering the right answer). Thanks!

running out of time Jan LSAT

I'm planning on taking the Jan LSAT and applying for Law school right after ( I know I am very behind). I am currently in my gap year and was hoping to apply and get into law school for the fall.... I am worried I won't be able to do that anymore. I've noticed I'm struggling the most with LR and being able to identify the correct approach for each of the question types. It is taking me too much time to get through the LR sections, and by the end of the time I have about 7-8 questions that are still unanswered with about 2 mins remaining.

I need a comprehensive study method to help me. I join the live classes every day and do drill sets, journal my work, both correct answers and incorrect ones. And I don't feel like it is working. I do at least 6 hours of classes and drills a day (excluding weekends), and I am not seeing any change, which is TERRIFYING. Does anyone have recommendations on how to study more effectively? My methods are not making me feel confident at all. My LSAT score goal is 160+. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. I am also looking into getting a tutor. I don't know if I should do it through 7 Sage or a different platform. Any and all recommendations and suggestions are greatly appreciated!!!!

Hey everyone!

I am talking the November LSAT and am wondering if there are specific PT's I should do before the test arrives. Are there PT's that will most closely resemble this month's LSAT by virtue of being more recent, or is one PT as good as any other?

And one more question. I am aiming for a score above 165, but a score above 160 will do. I have been PT'ing between 163-166 with an average of 165, and as long as this doesn't drop dramatically on test day I am in a good place. Any tips to ensure test-day performance doesn't drop below the average PT score? I am taking the test at an in-person centre (wasn't offered another option).

Best of luck to all the other November LSAT takers!

Atlanta Study Group

If I can get five people to commit to meeting (preferably) in person or online in the metro Atlanta area then I will organize and lead a study group so we can analyze our work and give each other greater perspective for this exam. I am looking to take the April 26 LSAT. I know people are busy so I am just looking to organize a group that will be willing to meet once or maybe twice a week.

Hey guys,

I'm writing to see if anyone else is having the same issue: when I go to drill, I noticed that I can't select a double-category question (e.g., doing 3-5 weaken/causal combo questions). I've tried it 2x now and I'll get causal questions, but then be given causal MSS, MC, and SA, not only causal weaken like I want.

If anyone encountered this issue, how did you resolve it?

Value Statement Hack

So I heard that for questions such as SA and PSA if the conclusion in the stimulus has a value statement (such as "should") and the premises do not, the correct answer choice will have a value statement.

Is this true? And if so are these the only two question types the trick is true for?

Showed up to the LSAT without my ID :,)

Hello folks! So, I was supposed to take the LSAT this week, but I forgot to bring an acceptable form of ID (due to my travel circumstances, it was impossible to go and get an ID), so I basically just had to take the L and go home without taking the LSAT.

What I'm wondering: How will this show up on my LSAT record? Should I include this test date in my law school applications? Is this a big enough deal that I should write a small addendum explaining the circumstances?

Any advice would be awesome, thank you!

Hi - has anyone else been getting this issue over the past few days where the timing bars in your PTs and other drills no longer show when you marked an AC as correct/incorrect in the overview of the results? It only shows that level of detail when I go into each individual question now. I also tried switching to a different browser and encountered the same issue. Apologies in advance if I am missing an easy fix!

Refrences

Hi everyone, I am feeling a little worried right now because only some of the schools, I am applying to require academic references (I'm Canadian) but i honestly do not have any super strong connections with profs. I am worried a prof will reject my request for a letter of reference as they do not know we well enough even if i did well in their course. Any Advice?

I really think I'm burning out. How do y'all get out of the slump? I'm aiming for anywhere between a 155 and 160 on the LSAT. My best PT score is a 158 and most of my BRs are in the 160s.

I took a PT 2 weeks ago and got a 153. Took one today and got a 152. I'm finding that by section 3 I'm starting to feel the burnout.

I took the September LSAT and got a 151 and wanted to die haha. Since then I've been really hunkering down on keeping a thorough wrong answer journal, reviewing all my questions, working on my timing (which is really good now). But now I'm at the point where I just don't know what to do next.

Any tips? I work full time and I'm a mom so my study time in the evenings is ROUGH.

😖 Frustrated

I'm Really Worried

I took a prep course with my university, and I am only at 135. I take the LSAT on November 5th, and I am VERY worried!! I really want a 157.

I have a score hold for the August LSAT. I haven't been given any information from LSAC as to why and when I will receive my score? Does anyone have any experience with score holds and how long they take? I am registered for September and am worried I won't know my August score before the September test. They also can't move me to October.

Update: It is October 7, 2025, and my August LSAT is still on hold.

Wrong answer journal

Hey guys,

I hear a lot of people say they have a wrong answer joournal, my question woould be, how do you oorganize it?

do you just put down the wrrong answer with explanation? doo you add the passage? do you alsoo add the right answer with explanation?

Hi there! I’ve been studying with 7Sage for the LSAT since the beginning of September (prior to that I read a prep book for a month) with an initial diagnostic of 160. Since then, my altogether score hasn’t improved and is often lower than my diagnostic, hovering in the high 150s. If I slow down and take my time, I get more answers right, but miss answering the last few questions. I speed up and answer all questions, my accuracy tanks to bring me right back to where I was. In terms of study habits, I study for about 30 min-2 hours a day every day depending on availability, doing a mix of untimed drills, timed sections, and the occasional PT. I tried using the targeted drills, but to be honest the answers I miss are so random that there really isn’t a pattern of concepts I am continually getting dinged on so it didn’t help much. I mostly miss Level 4 and 5 questions, but I occasionally (frustratingly!) miss a Level 3 or even 2. So basically, my question is this: is it normal to have not improved at all (even gotten marginally worse) in 2 months? Do I need to be doing something different? Do I need to be studying differently? For those who were stuck in the high 150’s and low 160’s, what got you out of your plateau? Did you get a tutor or change your study routine? I’d love to hear. I’m planning on taking the LSAT in January. Thanks!

Hi all. How do you work causal reasoning? I understand the flaws and whatnot for the most part (ommited options, such as no relationship, new factor, backwards casuation, etc). but for those good at it, what's your process like? how do you reconize a CR question and go from there? Thanks.

Often when I make practice drills I find that if I pick questions automatically, it seems like there is a tendency puts the most difficult 5 star questions first, and the easier 3 stars and 2 stars later. Maybe that's just me, but at the very least you can say there's no observable pattern as to how questions are ordered based on difficulty. This is really disorienting, as this is the opposite of what you're going to encounter on the tests, and generally it's just easier for me to work into the difficulty.

I'd like to propose that the automatic question generator can sort questions starting from easiest to hardest. The ordering doesn't have to be super precise, but I feel like this feature would both enable better performance and better simulate test conditions

Hi everyone,

I’m currently signed up for the November LSAT, but I’ve been feeling really stuck and could use some advice. My practice test scores are still in the 140s, and even though I’ve been studying consistently, I’m not seeing the improvement I was hoping for. I’m aiming for at least a 157, but right now that feels out of reach.

I’ve been using 7Sage to go through the core curriculum and drilling with LSAT Demon (Basic plan), mostly focusing on Logical Reasoning and some Reading Comprehension. But honestly, I’m not sure I really know how to study. I watch the videos, do drills, and review my answers — but I don’t feel like I’m learning how to avoid the same mistakes or actually build better habits.

Reading Comprehension is by far my worst section. I feel like I’m always running out of time or just completely missing the structure and purpose of the passages. Logical Reasoning is a bit better, but I’m still not where I want to be.

I’m thinking about upgrading my Demon plan in October to get access to live classes and more targeted help, but I’m also wondering if I need to change how I’m approaching my studying in general.

If anyone has broken out of the 140s — especially using Demon or 7Sage — I’d really appreciate hearing what worked for you. How did you improve your Reading Comp? How did you review in a way that actually led to progress?

Thanks in advance — I really want to make this happen, but I know I need to work smarter if I’m going to reach my goal by November.
