Hi, I have been studying consistently for quite a few months and consistently get anywhere from -4 to -10 on LR, and around -8 to -12 on rc depending on the difficulty. My max score timed is 161 and blind review 165ish. I plan to take it in September but am really struggling with getting consistent 160+ scores. Does anyone have advice on how to get there? I study hours every day.

Hi all. I started studying with 7Sage on V1, not knowing there was a V2. I am only taking LSATs in the future that will be without the LG section. I recently switched to V2, but it appears that there are not videos for most of the content as they are working on making them currently. I'm not sure whether to continue with V2 or go back to V1. I felt that I was more engaged with the videos and overall doing better with my studying, but I don't want to be at a disadvantage for the new test by doing V1 content. Please help with any advice!

I've noticed that when I see a science LR question, I immediately tune into the stimulus on a level that I'm not always doing. I know that science questions can be hard just for their wording, and so I force myself to truly understand every sentence in the stimulus. As a result, I've gotten those questions consistently right. But on other LR questions, I make dumb mistakes during practice that occasionally (not all the time, but often enough) have to do with me not really reading as closely as I should have. I know I need to snap out of this and maybe it's just as simple as reminding myself that all the questions matter (not just the science ones), but does anyone have any tips for this, or has been in the same position? I want to do better and I'm taking my practice seriously, but I guess it's been hard for me to maintain that mindset consistently when I know that at the end of the day, I'm only practicing.

I just took test 39 and after several months of diligent study, I did 173 on the test. Several days ago I got a 169 and then reviewed and reflected.

I wavered off a few of the questions, but my instincts are building. I am trusting the process and using the video explanations to really advance. I am seeing the patterns in the test and how formulaic it is.

I'm a rising sophomore and I wanted to start early on studying because I have the free time and I'm paranoid that I need the time. I was wondering if I should skip the admissions portion of the core curriculum for now and come back to it later when I'm a junior where I would need it. Right now I only need the foundations, logical reasoning and reading comprehension sections for the lsat exam. Is this recommended/okay? Should I do the admissions lessons right now?

As I was trying to complete my grammar lesson 30, it stated the page wasn't found as well as the rest of the lessons on the syllabus after it? Does anyone know how to fix that?

The first practice exam I took I got a 155, which I was pretty happy about considering it was my first PT. On my second, most recent PT however, I scored a 147. Does anyone have any good study recommendations/tips and tricks? I’ve been studying a lot but I don’t understand what I’m doing wrong.

My PT exam score continues to go down 1-2 points each time I take a new one and it is very discouraging. For context, I have taken three in total with the first two being the obsolete format where I excluded logic games. The most recent I took with the 7Sage modern format. Is this normal?

I have been studying for the LSAT using 7sage since early June and I was actually starting to improve the first 7 weeks or so. However, this past month my scores have dropped slowly with each practice test I take (a point or so every time). The steady decrease is concerning, as I am trying to take the test in September, and it feels like not a whole lot I am doing to study is working. If anyone has any advice to get my scores up, it would be greatly appreciated!

I purchased my first lsat prep book in October of 2020. It was the princeton review book. Things haven't been easy, and I've used many different prep programs, but in 2023 I started to see major progress through 7sage. I've never given up. I work on the lsat every day.

Ill be 28 next month. My conception of an lsat student is someone who's like 22 or 23. What is the relationship between the lsat and someone's age? I love learning more and more about the test each day. I want to get a score in the 160s and get into my local law school. But I cant help but see, in my peripheral vision, the months fly by

Greetings everyone. I am very lost on what my best approach would be and would appreciate some advice please. I began studying around May using the LSAT trainer by Mike Kim and finished the book along with one practice test however I ran out of time on every section and scored poorly despite having a good grasp on how to approach most questions. The schools I am planning to apply to would prefer that I write my first LSAT before the November deadline and therefore I plan to write the October LSAT and if needed, a second one in January. I am currently working through the 7sage core curriculum. For the next two months up until October I plan to dedicate all my time to the LSAT. I am able to dedicate 7-8 hours everyday (around 49+ hours a week to the LSAT) however I do not know what the best approach is to make the most of these 2 months. Before I do practice tests I know it is recommended I finish the CC however due to my previous studying I was wondering if it would be smart to begin practicing them soon. I also heard that drilling is good and was told it may be a good idea to practice timed sections and drills daily such as LR or RC before I move on to practice tests. IF I were to drill daily, would it be smarter to use older LSATs to not waste newer ones for actual practice tests? With 2 months remaining and the deadline approaching for booking the October LSAT I am extremely worried and would appreciate any advise and guidance towards actionable steps to take to do my best come October or worst case January.

Hello fellow 7sagers! I just finished what I'm 70% sure was flopping on my final test, and I'm ready to cut my losses. I wanna feel like something came out of this process (besides making my brain massive), so I cleaned up my notion notes/study template and am donating it to the public to hopefully save other people the time.

Good luck to everyone!

Do you use the highlighter tool in the digital tester? Do you always use the same colors to highlight premises and conclusions? If so, then boy is this the poll for you!

We're working on a new feature for our explanation pages, and your input will help us make it better for you. Please respond to the poll, the comments, or both.

Bonus question for the comments: what do you highlight?
