Hi there,

I have been drilling 15 questions per session LR (RC on the side as well) and I am finding that I am doing terrible during the actual attempt (such as 7/15-9/15) to (13-14/15) during BR. Does anyone have tips on how to master the timing strategies. I've looked around for a while but still struggling on the timing.

Any recommendations would be helpful.

Thank you

Hi All, I started studying for the LSAT about 3 weeks ago, currently planning on applying for law school sometime around November, so I have 9-10 months to study. The issue is that I'm also working 40+ hours a week. Does anyone have any advice on how to schedule studying without burning out? I got 7sage with the intention of having a more structured study plan, as opposed to studying on my own. Any advice is hugely helpful! Thanks!

Hi, living in Tokyo and looking for people to study with for the upcoming tests, either online or in person would be great. Aiming to crack 170 so looking to mostly focus and discuss 4/5 lvl difficulty questions and also reading comprehension sections. Feel free to comment or message me if youre interested

Lately I've found myself in a bit of a slump; I've been studying for the LSAT for about a year and a half and I've taken three total tests in that time. The past three times didn't go so well, so I find myself grinding to do better for the fourth time. It can be very frustrating not seeing the results despite whatever work you've put in, and it gets harder every day to find reasons to stay in the fight. So I wanted to drop something here that I like to think about that helps put things into perspective:

When the Milwaukee Bucks were eliminated in the first round by the Pacers during the 2022-23 season, Giannis Antetokounmpo was asked if he saw this season "as a failure." To answer the question, he asked if Michael Jordan's nine seasons where he didn't win a championship would be considered a failure. A little parallel reasoning there, right? Not a lot of people reminisce about the seasons when Jordan lost - they extol the six seasons when he won. So to sum up the question, the Bucks 2022-23 season wasn't a failure - it is simply a step toward success. For every game lost, every playoff series missed, and every playoff exit, there's always an opportunity to learn from it and grow for the next season.

So what does this have to do with the LSAT?

The same principle can be applied. Did I fail because I scored a 148 on my diagnostic a year and a half ago? Did I fail because I scored a 153 on my first official test? Did I fail because I didn't like the next two tests? Did I necessarily fail at anything, or did I simply just take steps closer and closer to a win?

We will all have good days and bad days - days where we will all find success and days where it's simply not our turn yet. It can be very frustrating to not see positive results and it can be even more tiring to try and stay in the fight, especially after a year. But one thing that I've learned that has helped me with my perspective on things is to understand that you will face adversity in order for you to succeed. So wherever you are at with your journey, remember that there is no such thing as failure - only steps to success.

June is so scared of us 🦍🦍🦍 let’s study 😪

Do I include the papers I published in undergraduate Journals in my resume? They are not "real" journals I guess, but is it worth including them for a T14 Resume?

7Sage INSTRUCTORS ARE THE BEST!!!

Hi everyone! I’m curious how many hours you all study per day and what your weekly study schedules look like. I’m trying to structure my own plan as effectively as possible. For context, I’m currently not in school or working, so I’m able to study full-time.

My testing date is April 10, and I have 6 fresh full practice tests left. Do you recommend taking one every week to give myself the most practice possible before April 10, or taking them every two weeks, prioritizing drills, and leaving ~3 fresh tests for me to work with if I plan to take the LSAT again in June?

I have heard mixed things about whether or not to do full Ptests every week. Up until now I've been doing them about every two weeks, and have had good results; but I've also heard you should take them more frequently as you get closer to the test date.

Advice would be much appreciated!

I started studying about 3 months ago and began with a 153 diagnostic (post-core curriculum). After two weeks of drilling, I worked my score up to 160. Then, I scored a 159. After that plateau, I read Ellen Caddiy's the Loophole and went over the fundamentals of LR while also going through the fundamentals of RC again. After 1 month of that, I scored a 157. I think it might be because I was largely practicing untimed drills during that time of re-learning the fundamentals. Now, I have been consistently doing timed sections for over a week and still I am testing at 159, unable to improve. Not sure what to do at this point. Is it worth paying for a tutor? I am scheduled to take the test in April.

I’m looking for someone or people who’s interested in creating a study group. I’m trying to approach the LSAT differently from when I took the test November and I didn’t reach my goal.

I’m located in DFW, in person is great but virtual is also fine. My goal is high 160s if anyone has any pointers.

I have created a cheat sheet with some common errors you might make while answering the questions. I also included common traps that the LSAT might try to use and some patterns you might see. Some of this information overlaps, and I got most of it from the 7Sage tools. Just sharing in case anyone wants to keep this info all in one place!

Assessing Question Cheat Sheet

I just finished the foundations lessons and I'm starting the LR ones here in 7Sage. Should I aim to alternate studying the concepts with taking PTs or is it better for me to complete the whole LR and RC core lessons and only then start to take full on practice exams?

When I’m working on a section, all of the question numbers are marked dark green at the bottom of the page, indicating I answered all of the questions. But when I submit it, it says I haven’t answered one or two questions. The same happened with an RC drill. I submitted a drill after checking everything’s marked, and then it said I omitted an answer for one question. I marked it again in the blind review, but my answer wasn’t registered again, showing that I didn’t answer the question for both drill and blind review. 

This never happened to me until today. Anyone experiencing the same problem today?

Hi all,

I have been studying for the LSAT for about a month now and its going okay.

My biggest obstacle is staying consistent with my studying. I work as a full time consultant and can have long, unpredictable hours.

This week as an example, I thought I could be home by 7:00pm and resume studying but I ended up having to work until 10:00 pm and 12:00 am most days this week. I like what I do but its just difficult to stay motivated after working long hours and stick to a plan when my weeks can be hard to gauge.

I knew this would be an obstacle for me so I'm trying to wake up a bit earlier, to squeeze some extra studying in, and do some longer sessions on the weekend.

Does anyone have any studying regiments or tips on how to balance a slightly unpredictable schedule with LSAT studying?

Regards.

When take timed LR sections, I'm getting 11-14 questions wrong. But when I do the blind review/untimed sections, I'm only getting 4-5 wrong. How do I fix this? What am I doing wrong?

Hi Everyone. Im studying in preparation for the June LSAT. I took it one time already but didn't achieve the score that I wanted. Im looking for either an in person or virtual study group/member for some accountability. Currently working full time but am flexible in terms of study times. If you're intersted in meeting up regularly, let me know!

I have been constantly scoring between 164-166 for the last 4 PTs with a BR of 174 on 3 of those 4. Today I went in pretty confident because I had gotten -4 on multiple RC sections this week and a -1 on LR. I completely fell apart and got a 160. The BR was a 174 again (-2, -1, -1) but I did find the questions to be harder different from a lot of the questions I had been doing sections with. Most of the issue seemed to be pressure under time and less just not being able to complete the questions in enough time because I usually don't have an issue with that. Going from -1 on LR to -9 and from -4 to -8 on RC came out of the blue for me too because I did better on the LR on my preliminary exam and have studied 4.5 months since then. I am aiming for a 171-174 and plan on taking the April exam. Any recommendations on avoiding such a drastic collapse especially after a month of constant progress? Thank!

Hi all, I am studying for the test for August and I would love to study with someone in the San Diego area. If anyone else is interested feel free to comment and we can probably make a study’s group :)

Hi, I'm wondering how to PrepTest equivalent score in calculated after drilling? How accurate is it? I notice sometimes it gives me a fairly high score for 100% correct, even with fairly easy questions. Slightly confused on this and wondering if I should disregard the score. Thanks!

Looking for other moms in the Nashville, TN area that are taking the LSAT in June!

Hi all, just started prepping for the LSAT (about 1–3 weeks in) and I’m looking for study/accountability partners. I’m planning to take the June 2026 test, but I’m flexible on timing and expecting a retake.

I’m in South Waltham near Boston. Open to virtual or in-person!

Hi 7sagers! I am currently back to practicing for the LSAT after having taken a few months long hiatus. I have taken a couple of practice LSATs before, however, now I can't seem to muster doing more than 5-question drills at a time. The practice LSATs feel too overwhelming at this point, even though I've made my way through most of the Core Curriculum (though this was months ago).

What are my options? I feel that whenever I open a PT, I end up just rushing through the questions to get it done. I need to build up my endurance and discipline, but how?

TIA!

I tend to retake the entire test during my Blind Review so I'd love to see how long it actually takes me to do a question without time pressure vs. with time pressure. Also, it would be helpful as more of an accountability feature since I tend to spend more time on Blind Review than needed when I should be focusing on dissecting what I got wrong.

Anyone want to study together?
