I tend to always miss 1-3 questions within the first 15 questions of a section, and always get the rest (harder ones) correct. No idea why, I really want to fix this so I can ace all!!!

I just took another PT after my benchmark. Between the times, I have only finished the foundations section of the course and have done minimal drilling. I studied my wrong answers for my benchmark exam too before taking this exam. I saw a ZERO score raise after taking this 2nd PT. Is this common or is this a sign that I have been studying wrong?

Would love to know if anyone else has had a similar experience or if this is common. Any tips or suggestions would really help.

Hi everyone, my name is Patrick and I'm a new studier starting my LSAT journey and thought it would be super beneficial to study in a small group together either online or in person. I think meeting once or twice a week in a library for an hour or two could be useful for keeping us all motivated, on track and in high spirits for the arduous journey ahead.

Please let me know if you have any questions or suggestions, and best of luck with your LSAT journey :)

Is anyone taking the LSAT in June in Chicago? If so, are you familiar with the proctoring location? Looks like it's in an office building. Does anyone have any experience testing there? Tried to look up more information, but did not really see much about the whole process in that specific building. Also, there were 3 different centers listed for Chicago in the same building at the same time... I just picked a random one that had my preferred date, but I don't know if one section is more preferred than the others. Let me know about your experiences!

A couple weeks ago I felt was stagnate but now I generally feel like I'm improving. I got my highest score ever on PT 154 ( a 157)and I'm so much closer to my dream score. I took a practice RC passage from PT 148 after feeling stressed out about RC and I felt more confident than ever took a RC passage and my timing was a lot better. Usually I don't finish a lot of questions and guess but I only guessed at one without looking at the answer.

I don't know what happened. I'm taking the june lsat and had been scoring pretty well, -1 to -4 lr average and a little worse on rc, getting in the high 160s for preptests. last friday i got a low 160 on a preptest. i brushed it off as a fluke so i wouldnt worry myself, but i just got another low 160 today, and my sections have been -7 average...

did his happen to anyone else? i feel like it's not a nerves issue but idek anymore

Hi All, I'm new to 7stage LSAT. I'm also new to studying for the LSAT. As a result, my goal is to partner with like-minded individuals who can provide guidance and share ideas.

We just published this video on strengthening and weakening causal arguments: It'll be a good intro or refresher for our Logic of Causation Module!

@EricB7Sage

How are you guys able to stay focused through reading the passages, sometimes my attention dims by the end of the passage and either I reread 20 times or I just pick an answer just to pick one.

My delimma is I read half way through the passage, my eyes "look" at the remaining and by the time I get to the questions I skim through them and just kinda pick one without really knowing why, just vibes.

Its not like I'm not interested, I want to be able to answer the damn question, idk why I do this!

Does anyone else have this? If so, what has helped you?

I'm trying to decide if I should schedule my lsat online or in person. I want to take it in person bc I feel like that professional environment would help me lock in better/less complications overall. However, I can't focus if I hear anyone talk; I get distracted so easily. Do the noise cancelling headphones do anything/did you hear people talk?

Hi all,

Quick question. On the real August 2026 LSAT and beyond, will there be no more highlighting in the passage to specific parts of the question? As you can see below, this is what's been normal, and it seems like its no longer available on the new LawHub interface.

I hope you can see what I mean. If this feature will be on the real test, is it possible to add to 7Sage? It honestly is really helpful, especially for questions that ask what a certain word means when used in a specific context.

I have a pattern of getting qs wrong lately that I’m labeling as ‘forehead slap’, where I skim the stim, ACs, or relevant passage portion a tad too quickly, miss a crucial word, and pick wrong — then groan when I come back in blind review.

On the one hand, the easy solution is to go slower — read the stim very carefully, make sure read all ACs, etc.

But I’m struggling to find the balance between skimming enough to keep a good pace but preventing these ‘forehead slap’ mistakes. For context, I’m usually about right on time for both LR and RC, with a little wiggle room for reviewing + spending more time on harder qs, but definitely not enough to never skim.

Does anyone have any tips for this? Being judicious on what to skim within a q, which qs to skim more or less, keeping mental discipline when reading, etc.

For context, this is usually ~1-3 Qs a preptest (I’m averaging ~2-5 Qs wrong total, so this is a pretty high proportion)

thanks!!

Hi everyone.

Over the past few months of my studying I’ve started to feel much more confident when it comes to the difficulty and pace of the logical reasoning questions. I’ve been making minimal, if any, errors on questions that are levels 1-3.

But now that I’ve been focusing more on questions that are exclusively levels 4-5 in difficulty, I’ve reached a slight roadblock. On questions I do get incorrect it's typically when I’ve been debating between two possible answers. I’ll do a blind review for these questions, and when I select my “second choice” answer, 90% of the time I end up getting that question correct.

I was wondering if anyone has experienced similar obstacles when it comes to choosing the “best” answer. I was wondering if anyone had advice on how to recognize which answer is best when you’re stuck between two options, especially when the answers are very similar. Is there a trick to narrow down the answer options or will it simply come down to practice and pattern/question type recognition?

Thank you so much! Any advice helps!

I've heard that reading nonfiction or scholarly articles can be helpful when preparing for RC since it gets you used to comprehending dense (and sometimes boring) material quickly. Does anyone have recommendations of books/articles/websites that really helped with RC?

Hi All,

Anyone else having trouble registering at a nearby Prometric center? The closest available options for me are 100+ miles away, even though there’s one right down the road. I’m guessing they’re releasing seats slowly — does anyone know if more open up closer to the test date? If not, I’ll probably switch to remote.

Quick heads up that our weekly lo-fi LSAT stream runs again tonight from 5 to 8 PM ET on YouTube. Free, no signup, just join here: https://youtube.com/live/_G77R2xupeU?feature=share

Starting with PT140, Mikey's working through unseen LSAT questions live, talking through strategies and notes as he goes. Ambient music in the background, baby animal clips mixed in. Super chill vibes.

Good for studying alongside, following question by question, or just having the LSAT on while you do other work.

We're running it on Tuesdays. See you tonight!

I've honestly been inconsistenly studying on and offer 2 years :/ I score at 154 on average. I really want to take studying more seriously, hoping to take my first LSAT in the fall but im not sure how to study.

As of now, im trying to really understand question types... and be better at answering based on those (obvious I know, but I do think this is absolutely necessary) but idk what else I should do. I know I must blind review and keep a wrong answer journal--which I do, but I sort of like to be more active in studying idk...help!!

I feel like I could cry! From beginning at 148, getting stuck in 160s hell, and now this! Studying for the LSAT over the past months has definitely felt like an exercise in patience and endurance, but I'm happy with the progress I've been making!

I am an independent tutor with a 178 on the January 2026 test. I am going to be offering paid 1 on 1 services on here soon, but want to start with (and sustain) free Q&A and collaboration as well. If anyone wants to start tonight, feel free to jump on with any kind of questions you've had lately. I'll answer as much as I can in an hour, and then we'll probably shift to a regular Wednesday time for the rest of the spring/summer.

The value of this study group to me is to get acquainted with how 7sage students are looking at this test, to provide some help, and to get some feedback. I hope it is at least as valuable to you if you have questions you want to go over!

No matter what direction I go with paid lessons, I will hold this study group weekly for free at least through September.

We'll either meet on this platform or on my Zoom depending on preferences of the group.

Hey all,

Quick heads up on where the podcast is going. If you've listened to last week's or this week's episode, you may have noticed a shift in our format.

The short version: we're covering the whole path now, not just the LSAT. Applications, scholarship negotiation, personal statements, picking a school, paying for it, what 1L is actually like, etc. We're planning to have multiple segments every episode highlighting different aspects of the journey. Although we're still feeling it out, I think our most consistent episode format will be: LSAT advice segment, LSAT journey, Admissions Q/A. We're also going to be featuring some longer form interviews with special guests in the LSAT, law school and legal arenas.

A few things I want from you.

First, what do you think of the new direction? Honest reactions welcome, including if you preferred the old LSAT-centric format. Any suggestions are welcome!

Second, tell me what to cover. What's the question you can't get a real answer to? What do you wish someone would just sit down and explain?

And if you've got a specific question you want answered on air, send that too. We'll pull from the thread for future episodes.

Reply here or DM me.

Hello everyone,

I know for many question stems, especially flaw Q's, the answer choices begins with "takes for granted, " "overlooks the possibility," presumes without justification," etc.

For these type of answer choices, can we apply the negation test and see if it destroys the argument?

The question type is not a strict "Necessary Assumption" question, but the answer choices are phrased as "Takes for granted"/assumptions, so can we treat them as similar to how we treat a necessary assumption answer choice -- and negate them?

Thanks!

Hello! I take the LSAT in June and have been studying for around 4-5 months. For LR, I am getting almost every 3 and below level difficulty correct. However, I tend to not do as well on the 4 and 5 star questions. How do I get better at the harder questions? What makes those questions so much more difficult?

Thank you!

Hi everyone! I’m looking for a tutor to help me break into the 170s. I recently took a practice test and scored a 163, with a 170 on blind review, so I know the score is in there and I just need help closing the gap.

I’m currently studying 30 minutes to an hour, five days a week, and I’m looking to meet with a tutor once a week for an hour. My target test date is later this year, though I’m willing to push it back until I’m consistently hitting my goal range.

I do have an LSAC fee waiver, so I’m hoping to find someone with lower rates or who offers a discount.

If you have availability and offer a free intro call or consultation, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’d love to find someone who’s a good fit. Thanks!

Despite constant drilling and blind review, my timed PT scores stay mostly in the mid 150s for weeks. Don’t know what else to do. It’s so frustrating. If anyone has any advice, please comment!! I need your help ;(

I’ve scored 170+ on PT144 and PT147, but not by a whole lot. I’m hoping to score above a 170 on my June LSAT, but I’m getting pretty nervous that the prep tests I’m using aren’t going to reflect the difficulty of the test come test day (I hear they’ve gotten harder). Does anyone know how these tests in particular stack up to what’s been on offer in recent tests? And should I be using newer PTs at this point?
