Has anyone else been unable to complete the Argumentative Writing portion?

I tried to connect for 2+ hours today. I have a MacBook Air which meets all the required specs, downloaded the newest OS, updated Chrome as advised, and downloaded the Guardian extension. But when I clicked the test link, it took me to a page to download the Guardian extension again as if it wasn't already there. No matter what I did, I never got past this page.

Numerous calls to tech support were useless, I was advised to do the same few things over and over before they ultimately opened a new tab to connect me to a proctor and rapidly disconnected the chat. Restart computer. Remove and add Guardian extension. Uninstall and reinstall Chrome. Lather, rinse, repeat. The prevailing advice from LSAC, because this is a novel issue, was to "try another computer." Not really a feasible option for me, so I tried going the Apple support route with no success. Then LSAC advised me on the last call this is a "known issue" and to try again in a few days.

At this point I'm beyond frustrated and at a loss. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, how did you fix it?

I took the LSAT this past October and January and obtained a 157 both times. I have already applied to Law schools in Canada, and I am now waiting for responses. Just in case, I am planning to study for the LSAT again in hopes of obtaining a much higher score next November and potentially January as well. this will leave me with nearly a full 11 months to study. I have already studied for about 4-5 months on LSAT Demon.

I am wondering if there is any strategy of specific things I should focus on in order to obtain a high score? How can I best use these next 11 months to obtain the highest score possible?

Other than in keeping on?

I've been studying using 7sage for years (on and off but more recently, very much on) now. Completed the entire course curriculum (before the Website transfer) and have taken around 3 practice tests. The first two I took were at the end of last year and I got a 153 on both, which were taken a few weeks apart, with blind review scores ranging between 170-177. My most recent practice test, now, yielded a freaking 148(!!!!) and a 165 blind review score.

Between all these tests, I've also done tons of drills and always review the videos for the questions I got wrong, had trouble with, spent too much time on, etc. Same method on the practice tests.

At this point, I just feel like I'm crashing out of a sky I never really got up too high in.

It's bad enough to get a 153 after years of studying and even worse to now drop down somehow to a 148. I also can't really wrap my head around being able to get close to a near perfect score during blind review, which I would think demonstrates some level of comprehension, but getting a timed score that isn't uncommon for someone who has never even looked at lsat study materials to get.

I really need help, advice, etc. Kind of at my wits end here...

***I should mention that yes, timing is an issue for me. I can, on a good session, answer at least 14-17/25-26 questions under LR sections. On the other hand, on RC sections, I'm finding I can really only get to and complete 2/4 passages. In those rare instances I make it to the 3rd passage, I can't finish all the questions for said passage.***

Some people have told me not to register until I am consistently PTing at my goal score, but what is considered consistent? I really want to register for April (otherwise I will not be able to sit until August due to immovable scheduling conflicts), but I'm not at my goal score yet and I don't want to waste an attempt.

I feel like waiting until August for my first (and hopefully only) attempt feels so last minute since I want to apply for law school in the 2026-2027 cycle. Am I creating an unnecessary time constraint? Any advice is helpful!

For context - my goal is to get as close to a 180 as possible, but realistically I would be happy with 173+

My last PT was a 168 (BR 174) in jan, and since then I've been scoring -1 to -4 on all practice sections, RC and LR.

Located in Detroit, MI. Looking for someone scoring around where I am. Maybe bounce ideas off one another.

Hey y'all, I'm Karl. I will be attending law school this year to focus on constitutional law, academia, and entrepreneurship.

I teach in-person LSAT classes at local universities and tutor students one-on-one. My focus is on teaching students to be at ease reading slowly, summarizing as they go, and engaging with the content. I diagnose weak points and give you plans to fix them. You will build good habits for approaching questions, getting "unstuck" when caught in a 50/50, and contextualizing your results to become more effective. The skills you learn will carry over into your law school journey and career as a lawyer.

The LSAT is only one part of the admissions process. I help with essays, C&F statements, addenda, interview preparation, school targeting, and more. I am here to help you get results that will change your life, not just go over questions for an hour. I want you to succeed, and that means being warm and supportive along the way.

Remember, underneath the LSAT's dense language there are simple structures you can learn, but you have to put in the effort. StevenBlauert's post is GREAT. Check it out. It really is that easy.

If you are interested, DM me, leave me a message here, or send me an email at Karl@RedwoodLSAT.com. We will arrange a free consultation!

Package discounts on LSAT tutoring and admissions assistance are available:

10 hours @ $700 ($70/hr)

20 hours @ $1200 ($60/hr)

Hi, my name is Aqsa. I am 20 years old and a junior in college in NYC!

The plan is to create a WhatsApp group where we can stay connected daily—share resources, ask questions, vent, and keep each other motivated.

We’ll also meet weekly on Zoom to study together, review difficult questions, go over strategies, and practice LSAT questions as a group.

This group is meant to be collaborative and low-pressure but focused.

Whether you’re just starting LSAT prep or already studying and want structure and accountability, you’re welcome to join.

Thank you <3

Hi! If anyone in the Victoria B.C. is also studying for the LSAT and would like a study partner/group let me know :)

Hi all! I got my target score for the january lsat and want to cancel my subscription, but I had paused it just in case I needed to take the lsat again. I want to make sure I don't get charged when it unpauses, but I can't find a button to cancel while paused, even on the billing page. Any help?

Anyone in/near Iowa City want to meet up and study together? Looking to work in-person. Can hash out the details if ppl are interested.

Hey everyone! I’m Joshua. I started in the 130s and earned an official 173.

I’ve been tutoring for several years, and I’ve taught LSAT classes as well as at the university level. I have a real passion for teaching, and I love helping students get to that moment where the LSAT finally starts to click.

Over the years, I’ve helped students increase their scores by 10 - 30 points.

Hello! I'm interested in starting/joining a study group in northern Virginia or DMV area.

I am not registered for an LSAT yet for this cycle, but I've taken the LSAT before. I work full time, so evenings or weekends would work best for me.

Hi everyone!

I'm looking for people who want to do an in person study group in the following cities: Hagerstown, Williamsport, Frederick, Greencastle, Waynesboro, Chambersburg, Martinsburg, Sheperdstown.

Let me know if you're local to those areas and we can try to start an in person study group!

I am looking for a study group. I have registered for the June LSAT, but I may push it back. Online is fine! I look forward to connecting!

Hi is there anyone near Cornell University or in Ithaca who would be interested in a study group??

Hello 7Sagers!

Recently, we have noticed that quite a few of you have been having trouble with our videos, especially with the videos not loading and the "four dots" constantly giving a buffering signal, but never actually loading.

We have been able to reproduce the issue ourselves privately, but so far that hasn't been enough data for us to pinpoint exactly what's going on. We're calling on everyone who has had the problem to please let us know, especially with the following details:

what device/app you were using, and what OS

what country you are currently in

when does it occur? anything "noteworthy" happening?

We also welcome any screenshots or screencasts.

Either post here or email studentservice@7sage.com.

Thanks everyone!

Hi! I hoping to start a study group in the metro detroit area, and I am open to meeting virtually too! Would love a group to discuss questions with and generally keep each other accountable!

How do Law schools determine or analyze GPA if someone has multiple degrees? Do they look at the combined GPA of the degree put together or each individually?

Also, does having a masters degree help in any way for the application process? To be honest, I do not really deserve the degree... I just did it so I could keep playing college sports, but oh well... I guess I have it

I scored 175 on the June 2025 LSAT, up from a diagnostic of 159. I have taken on eight tutoring clients since August, intentionally keeping a light load to hone my teaching style.

Now I'm looking for more students. Details:

• $60/hr.

• Meet on Zoom.

• Pay via Zelle or Venmo.

• Weekdays only.

What I offer:

• Analysis of up to three practice tests to identify areas of focus.

• Customized lesson plans targeting your specific weaknesses. (Examples of lessons I've created for students: process of elimination, tactical reading for really dense stimuli, deciding between two answer choices, and lessons for every question type)

• A teaching style focused on students narrating their thought process out loud. My core philosophy is that students learn best when they arrive at the answer on their own, rather than having information spoon-fed to them.

• Email support for one question per week only if you are truly stumped.

About me:

• Later-in-life law school applicant. Accepted to two schools, waiting to hear back from others.

• My favorite LR question is PT135/S4/Q23 (on the relationship between dogs and undomesticated wolves).

• My favorite RC passage is PT128/S1/P4 (Riddled Basins of Attraction).

About you:

• Planning to take the LSAT this year.

• Willing to do the work.

If you're interested in scheduling a free, 30-minute consultation, DM me with the following information: Your PT score range, your goal score, any previous official LSAT scores, any confirmed future LSAT dates, and what you want to get out of tutoring.

I came into the law school admissions cycle very stressed, but Ava truly helped guide me through the process. I was skeptical if purchasing the "Unlimited Edits of One Essay" package would actually help me but after seeing how far my essay has come, I can not reccomend it enough, in particular because of Ms. Saylor. She helped me craft a well thought out narrative regarding my past experiences working in criminal defense which I believe played a huge part in me receiving my first acceptance today!

5/5 stars!! I would reccomend requesting Ava if you need any assistance!

It's been a couple of days since the feb lsat and all I can say is THANK GOD I am DONE. Honestly just praying for anything above a 150. Good luck to those studying; I went from an average of -14 on the lr sections to -9 (!!). On the rc my best was a -4 (!!!!!) This was all in under two months.

I just got an email saying my score is on hold (email came Monday; score release is supposed to be Wednesday). I am hoping that it's because my score went up (from my prior 174), but does anyone have any insight into causes of a score hold based on past experiences? I did the argumentative writing on a prior administration, so that's not the holdup.

Hello ladies!

I'm hosting quiet, focused LSAT study-along sessions in Astoria every Sunday.

This is not a class or tutoring - just a welcoming, low-key atmosphere to work independently alongside other women preparing for the LSAT. Feel free to share strategies, ask questions, or just work quietly alongside each other for motivation.

In this episode, @AlexJacobs sits down with Sasha to break down The Game Plan behind his jump from a 151 to a 175 on the LSAT.

Before law school was even on the radar, Sasha worked in basketball management and coaching. Along the way, he picked up habits and mental frameworks that turned out to be a perfect fit for LSAT prep. From film study to practice planning to staying composed under pressure, Sasha explains how lessons from sports translated directly to test day success.

Alex and Sasha talk about how to approach the LSAT with focus, why preparation matters more than motivation, and how thinking like a coach helped Sasha diagnose weaknesses and make steady gains.

If you come from a sports background or just want a more structured, disciplined way to attack the LSAT, this episode is for you.

The LSAT is hard. We’ll help you crush it anyways.

Hi everyone, I finish my bachelors degree in April of this year and am writing my LSAT in June. I have been studying on and off since May of last year and due to some life circumstances decided not to write last August. This test has definitely made me question my work ethic and self worth, and I had built up a lot of anxiety surrounding it. I did take the 7Sage Total Prep Intensive Class and although helpful, I have learned that I learn best through actual repeated / spaced practice sessions. I started studying in January and am writing my first PT this week after quite a few months. I finally feel like I am in a place with this test where I get excited to drill and see my progress and have been doing significantly better on drilling than ever before. For anyone who comes across this, what helped me out of my funk was the basics to anything really. Get sleep. Eat real food. Exercise. Have some comedic relief. See some friends. And know when to lock in. And when you do, give it your all. You are smart and you are capable. Comparison is the thief of joy and any progress in this game. Believing in yourself, showing up confident, and establishing a healthy ratio of study discipline to life is key. Good luck to all, we're all in this together!
