Hi, taking the LSAT for the first time in April. Did a 7Sage self study plan and just caved and paid for 4 sessions with one of their tutors because I wanted an extra boost and was feeling nervous. Right now PT scores oscillating between 165-169 and blind review 170-174. My goal is 175+ on the exam which I know is quite lofty.

Any tips on making my last four weeks of practice count? Suggestions on number of practice tests per week, timed sections, drills, etc.? How to make the most of the 60 min tutoring sessions? Any hacks for RC or LR that helped improve your score at the last minute that people don’t know?! I also need tips on keeping a positive mindset, I'm at the point finishing a practice test and seeing that my score still isn't above 170 really gets me down.

Hey everyone! I am currently studying for the June LSAT, and I have made great progress. My PTs are consistently in the raw 162-165 range, and BR in the 175-177 range.

My one real struggle has been getting a grasp of conditional reasoning questions. No matter how much I drill and review, I feel like I'm getting nowhere. Any advice on how to best tackle these?

Do I need to address all of the perspectives in my LSAT argumentative essay? I'm not totally sure if there are certain expectations aside from crafting an argument and including potential counterarguments.

We're holding daily / nightly small-group sessions at

• 9 p.m. ET in "Study Room - 9pm ET" and

• 8 a.m. ET / 9 p.m. Seoul time in "Study Room - 9pm Seoul"

The sessions will be student-led—no 7Sage staff will be in the meeting. The suggested activity is group drilling.

Independent tutors are welcome to participate.

PSA: If you show up first, please stick around. Your fellow 7Sagers will join you.

Hello. JY tells us in the core curriculum that the word "no" is a group 4 indicator where we choose a necessary and negate it. However, on LSAT 144 sec 2 question # 23 the statement is "no action based on good intentions are justified unless they also result in success" which the explanation translates it to "not successful -> not justified." However, by the group 4 logic indicator lesson's explanation it should be "not justified -> not successful" (I chose to negate "justified" by making it a sufficient and negating it due to the "unless" rule and chose "success" as the necessary and negated that due to the group 4 rule). So which one is it? Do different type's of "no's" have different logical indicators?

Hey everyone, I took the LSAT in Oct but ended up with a 140. I feel like I am stuck in this range and I used Kaplan for about 3ish months before my test and scored lower on my actual test vs my diagnostic (147). I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations/similar experiences, as I am currently using 7Sage and LSAT Demon. I think that my basic understanding of the LSAT might be where there's a disconnect.

Hi! I’m active duty Air Force separating in April 2027 to go to law school. Is anyone else here in the same or a similar situation? I’d love to connect and hear what your process has been like!

I got a 167 on my diagnostic and honestly have no idea what to do to study further. Many of the things I see about how I should proceed are contradictory. Any thoughts from anyone in a similar position?

I have in my notes written (A -> B) -> (A -> C) contrapositive = (A <-some-> /C) -> (A <-some-> /B) but I don't think that's right.

Shouldn't the contrapositive be (/C -> /A) -> (/B -> /A)? Is what I wrote in my notes maybe the negation of that embedded conditional that I was referring to?

Can anyone also point out where in the fundamentals this is referred to? Thank you!

Hey everyone

I'm an international student from Punjab in Canada doing a Bachelor's in Business Administration with a major in Accounting. This is my 3rd year, and I'm studying for the LSAT to be prepared for it before my graduation ends. I have a year left, and I'll be using this time to prepare. I'm looking for Indian people who are into this. I'm having a bit of a hard time finding someone from my own community, as there are very few people, especially the international students, who get involved in this. We can have some study sessions, share tips coz it's easy to learn when you have someone to discuss your ideas.

Hey guys! I'm just beginning my LSAT prep, and was just wondering if people have advice on how I can structure my learning. Should I be doing preptests now or just drills?

I am currently sitting in the mid 150s and looking to find someone else around my score to study with via discord. I personally learn better when someone with similiar understanding of a topic helps break down questions to find the right answer with me. I take my first LSAT in April and plan to take another later this year, so if anyone is interested you can reach me on discord: tophood1

A student aiming for a 165 by June is stuck in the mid-140s with inconsistent performance, fluctuating drill results, and no clear progress. Sound familiar?

In this episode, @AlexJacobs and @BaileyLuber break down what’s really going wrong and how to fix it. They cover:

• Why skipping or rushing the core curriculum can stall your progress • How to structure your studying for actual score gains

• The right balance of drills, sections, and full practice tests

• When to focus on specific question types (and how to choose them)

• What consistent blind review scores actually tell you

Hi all! If anyone feels like sharing their study schedules/tips, it would be greatly appreciated- for myself, as well as others, I am sure. I am currently working through my 7Sage study plan daily and then drilling/doing timed sections and reviewing. I have been putting off consistently PTing because I feel like I should make it fully through foundations first. What are your thoughts on this? Open to any opinions and feedback!!

7Sage admissions is launching a new service, the Application Autopsy. Here's what it includes:

• Three of our admissions experts will blind-review your file under real life conditions. You'll get each of their assessments, plus a summary by the committee chair. : What did you do well? What was lacking?

• We'll tell you if, and how, we think you could do better with an R&R. Were you telling the right story? Was there a red flag you weren't aware of?

Here's what the overview page looks like:

An example of one of the three ballots:

In addition to the rating, three ballots, and summary, you'll also get a 45-minute follow-up meeting with one of our consultants to discuss improvements you can make next year. Sign up today with this link:

Can someone please help me. I’ve been studying for 3-4 months and haven’t seen any improvement in my scores or progress. I’m about to give up and just eat the $250 I spent on registering for the test. I feel hopeless.

Hi all,

I was just doing some prep for my essays for this fall when I discovered the “Has your college, university, graduate, or professional school course of study been interrupted for one or more terms for any reason?” question on most apps. My sophomore year of college I withdrew half way through fall semester and went home due to severe depression. I did not return to college until the following fall. Is this going to hurt me? I don’t want schools thinking I’ll drop out… It’s completely out of my control, but I wanted to ask. Thank you!

I put on suspenseful music while I study to help simulate how stressed I'll be during the test. Does anyone else do this? This is the playlist I use btw: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7Cem0ca83Kqw08PagIuao3?si=d8d52ca0aac34682

I know law school acceptance predictors cannot be taken too seriously but for the sake of seeing ballpark chances I’ve been looking into them. The main ones I know of are LSD and 7sage’s own predictor. But when I put in my stats into both platforms I get wildly different chances (7sage has my chances MUCH higher than LSD does). What would be the more accurate platform? Does anyone know of another, better platform?

Is it just me or does anyone else get lost in the core curriculum. I watch and listen to these explanation and get so lost and confused. Some of them make absolutely no sense to me and I get even more confused than I already was. I’m about ready to just give up and eat the $250 I spent on taking the test. It’s been 4 months of studying and I see no improvement in my score or progress and just feel hopeless.

I am planning on applying straight from undergrad this fall. For people who went straight from undergrad to law school, what did you focus on most in your application besides GPA and LSAT? My GPA isn’t the strongest partly because my school has pretty tough grading and not much grade inflation. I also haven’t had any legal jobs, but I do have a lot of other professional experience. Do things like internships, leadership, or other work experience make a difference? I am conflicted because when I look for support a lot of people say its difficult which IK but is it impossible?

I'm studying for the June LSAT and would love to meet people who are looking to cheer each other on, since sometimes the study process for this test makes one question the validity of their reasoning. I'm specifically hoping to get better LR scores, and anyone who also has ADHD would be welcome, too! I'm willing to meet in OC or online, so let me know if you're interested!

Scoring well on Logical Reasoning but stuck at the same score on Reading Comprehension? You’re not alone. In this LSAT Shortcut, Alex and Bailey respond to a student who’s hitting 168 practice tests with strong LR performance but hasn’t improved on RC after four months of studying.

They break down why RC progress often takes longer, what it actually means to “retrain your brain” to read LSAT passages, and how focusing on author viewpoints, competing perspectives, and passage structure can help you find the evidence behind every answer choice. They also discuss how to practice RC more effectively, when to slow down your reading, and why consistent daily exposure to passages can make a big difference over time.

Taking the April exam and I unfortunately continue to make careless mistakes on this exam. Whether it be misreading, missing a word in the stimulus, or some other small mistake. This is one of my biggest issues I'm working on now. I think it would be great if 7sage had a practice option that would just focus on/isolate the stimulus making sure the student understands the stimulus, i.e. premise(s), conclusion, argument, flaw, is able to translate/summarize. I'm not too lazy to isolate stimuli myself, but this would be more convenient and I think it would help students at all levels/ranges of studying. Cheers 7sage team.
