Hey everyone,

I started the LSAT PTing in the high 150s before I found 7Sage. 7Sage has been instrumental in my journey to achieving higher scores; by the time I sat for the September LSat I was PTing in the low-mid 170s (4 months-ish of studying). I notice a lot of people here are sharing their study habits so that others may attempt to emulate them, and while I’m sure there’s some value to that, I’m here to tell you that I climbed with absolutely no method to my madness:

I studied when I felt like it (often, but irregular), I would wake up and go to sleep when I was tired (sometimes asleep by 4am and up by 2pm), and I would take random days off. I had the 7Sage app, which I would take with me to events that I didn’t think I’d enjoy (and just do exercises at the event). The only thing I would regiment is my practice tests, which I tried to make as “test day” as possible (I took 8 PTs overall).

I scored a 171 on the one and only official LSAT I’ve taken. I was going to take it again the following month, but serious family issues made it an unattractive prospect, and I was happy with a 171.

I say all this to highlight that the test, and studying for it, is a very personal affair; you need to find what works for you. All these people can offer you their words of wisdom or tips and tricks, but at the end of the day all you need to do is figure out how to understand the question being asked.

However, if I was to make one recommendation to someone seeking improvement, or highlight one aspect of my own studying which dramatically improved my results, it would be thus: blind review. Blind review, blind review, blind review. I can’t overstate how dramatically that changed my performance. Be mercilessly honest with yourself, and push yourself to fully understand questions and the ‘answers’ the test writers are providing you BEFORE you reveal the correct answer.

As a final note, be kind to yourself. You reading this here are in a select minority of test-takers who is probably taking their LSAT prep very seriously. I met countless students (at UC Berkeley no less) who were just “going to take the test and see how it goes.” You are already ahead of them, and if you take your studying seriously, you’ll finish miles ahead of a significant portion of test takes.

Best of luck 7Sage-ers!

Hello everyone,

currently looking for study group

live in arkansas

it would be central time zone

i can make a zoom link for all to join

please let me know if you are interested

Hi! I am taking the April LSAT and looking for a study buddy to meet with virtually outside my 9-5 pm (EST). I struggle with motivation after working all day but thrive off accountability with others. Zoom call is prob going to be best! Thinking meeting 1-2 times a week. I've been studying for months on and off but now I'm going to get consistent! My goal is high 160's! I'm in OKC

Hey everyone, I'm looking for a study buddy who's aiming for a goal score of 170+. I'm a full-time student but I'm pretty flexible with time so I'm sure we could figure out a time that would work for the both of us! I'm willing to work on zoom, and I know that teaching other's is the best way to remember things so I would love to help teach someone and I would love if someone could teach me too!

A trend I'm noticing on my recent practice tests (in the last 2 months) is that most of the LR questions I miss have the Causal Reasoning tag. I've been working my butt off to try and improve on this type but for the life of me I can't seem to get any better. I've reread the Loophole's chapter on CausR, the PS Bibles, gone through the 7sage lessons, and have been drilling 5* causal reasoning questions multiple times a day with thorough reviews of the answers and yet I keep missing these questions when it comes to a practice test.

Has anyone been in a similar situation or have any advice to offer?

This is causing me a headache.

Hey, is anyone else's 7sage being really slow and glitchy? Im trying to scroll through my PT and its just very slow in processing the scrolling and opening. I thought it was a wifi problem but i troubleshooted everything and its the same problem across all my devices. Any idea what to do?

I have been working on older skill sets/practice tests that my tutor downloaded for me. I now want to download the new ones that don't have the logic games. How do I do that?

Hey, interested in taking the LSAT this summer and want to get a high score. Looking for a study group to study with and discuss questions with. We could help hold each other accountable for studying. Could be virtual or in person (live or work in the NYC area). I work a 9-5 job, so preferably someone who also works or is ok with studying in the evening. Let me know if you’re interested!

Hello, I wanted any suggestions about stuff to read outside of LSAT material that is similar to RC so I can get my brain used to that sort of reading. Any suggestions of books, news outlets, etc? The economist is one I hear but now its a steep price to pay so am looking for something cheap! Thanks

We’re working on updating all of our explanation videos, but we want to hear from you! Is there a particular explanation you'd like us to tackle first? Let us know by filling out this short form:

Looking for study partners in Boston! If you're interested in joining a study group, let me know!

Hi everybody.

Im a junior in undergrad planning to take the lsat in June. I wanted to see if there were any study groups here or if anybody was interested in making one, either virtual or in person?

I’m aiming for a score 170+ and my last pt was a 160 so I’m looking for other people in the 155-165 range!

I am a bit concerned that while going through the curriculum and associated drill sets I am seeing so many real LSAT PT questions. Won't this skew the accuracy of my PT experiences and scores when I take them if I have seen too many questions from the tests beforehand?

I am going through the entire curriculum between taking my diagnostic PT and my next PT and worry that when I start taking PTs again I will be familiar with too many questions for accurate test simulation. Is this addressed at all in the curriculum or methodology of 7Sage?

I am looking for someone who has completed the RC HERO course and wanting to work on some passages together. Let me know if you are interested.

I'm having a problem with viewing all of the preptest that I've been taking on the 7Sage website. I was wondering if someone can help me with this problem?

Hey team! I'm looking for study partners who work a 9-5 job in Florida or in the Eastern Time Zone (EST). My goal is to achieve a score of 165 and above, and I would love to organize a motivated group of positive individuals to make this test prep enjoyable and help us stay on track, even on our most tiring days before and after work. This isn't easy, but there is strength in numbers!

Hi!

I'm in Houston studying for the January LSAT, looking to see if there's anyone else studying that would like to meet up / create a study group?

If people are interested, maybe we can make a groupMe or something!

So I have an LSAT score on file which is good enough to apply to my safety schools (which I have already done). I'm taking the LSAT again in January and hoping for a higher score. Would it be better to go ahead and send my application out to the schools I'm looking to apply to in December/January and have them hold the application until my score comes out? Or should I just submit my application closer to the day my score comes out? Do these situations make any difference to when the school will actually look at the application/make a decision? I have heard that since schools are rolling, applicants that already have their application on file (even the ones on hold) will be first in line when the score comes out. Is that true? Thanks!

Taking LSAT in January - really trying to break 170. I was pretty consistent in the upper 160s range, peaked at 169 for a couple tests, then decline decline decline. My most recent Prep Test was a 160 - worst I've gotten. I'm reviewing my wrong answers/reviewing content related to the types of questions I get wrong. I'm running Drills. I feel like I should be doing better but they keep getting worse. Any ideas?

Hey! I am studying full time for the next roughly 6 months looking for a study partner/group. Let me know if anyone is interested. I'm currently near GW campus so I'm happy to meet there or virtually. I plan on taking a PT once a week and using the week to review questions, but also open to suggestions. Thanks!

Hi everyone, first time poster here. 7sage helped me a lot during my LSAT journey from 159 June 2024 to 170 September 2024. I just received admission letter from Columbia Law School (ED). Feel free to ask me anything.

Hi everyone,

I’ve finished the 7Sage curriculum and just read The Loophole. I’m wondering if anyone who has read The Loophole would be interested in working on some questions together. I’d like to practice using the Party Trick and the Powerful/Provable Primers. Let me know!

I struggle with knowing which PT's represent the actual difficulty that will be similar to that on test day. I took one practice test (early 100s) and got a crazy high score that did not feel representative of how I would do on test day as it felt noticeably easier. Can anyone tell me which PT's are closest to how hard the LSAT is in the current format?

Hey everyone,

I was looking to see if there were people interested in making a Houston in-person/virtual study group?

I'm taking the January LSAT, and am studying full time this month.

Let me know if interested and maybe we can make a group!
