what the title says. ive been averaging 165, but want at least a 168. i just havent had much time to study because of school and work, but ill have nothing to do in may and can put 1000% more effort. also lowkey mentally exhausted right now. ive been slowly studying since august 2025, with a diagnostic of 151. i hit the 160s in febrary when i actually started preptesting and not just doing core curriculum stuff. im tired of studying for the lsat and dont want to wait until august...
Would it be possible to block certain questions in drills that you have gone over in class/quizzes? There are some questions that I have seen enough that I immediately know the answer and reason. I have turned off full sections because I know some of the questions well enough that I feel like it is skewing my stats to have them pop up again and get them right in 5 seconds but I could still use reviewing other questions in those sections. It would be nice to just mute/block certain well used questions from classes and curriculum.
I went from a 145 to a 177 on the LSAT in 9 months.
Not through guesswork—but by building a structured system for understanding the test, fixing weaknesses, and executing under time pressure.
I just finished with some students for the April LSAT, and now that the test is over, I’m opening up a few more spots.
If you’re stuck in the 140s, 150s, or low 160s and feel like you’re not improving despite studying, I can help you identify exactly what’s holding you back and build a strategy that works.
I offer personalized, one-on-one tutoring focused on real improvement—not just drilling questions.
Message me if you’re serious about raising your score.
Hi all! I am current;y sitting at a 154 PT with the aim of 170+ by June. I am struggling with finding a fool proof study schedule. One day I will do an LR section or two and 2 reading passages. Somedays just one LR section and a PT about every 2 weeks. I am not sure how else to study besides drilling, sections, and review. I really want that 15+ point increase. Any advice?
Hi Everyone,
I was wondering if there is a lesson that details this exact thing, but I'm studying main idea questions and realize that its helpful to know the different type of argument structures for a stimulus. Like how an argument can be structured as 1. introducing an external or generally held belief and 2. the main argument is the authors counter-belief or rejection of the general belief. Or like 1. naming a phenomena and 2. the main argument is a hypothesis for that phenomena. Is there a specific plan or place that shows all the possible argument structures like this and if not, does anyone have a list that i could reference.
Thank you!
I have been wanting to export my drilling/PT data so that I can look at more specific trends than the 7sage platform allows me to... I want to see my progress on specific tags and feed my data into AI so I can do more targeted and specific studying vs just specific drill types.
I clicked on the "Consulting Admissions" ad on 7Sage and saw the $3,000 - $8,000 price tag. I'm absolutely floored. Who can afford these price tags? I am sure the team did a due diligence on the market and have a SWOT analysis somewhere that points at the feasibility of these prices. (Well-- I assume this is the case!) But peeps like me? Heck, I'm using my healthcare benefits rewards program to pay for the 7Sage subscription. (Every step counts!)
At first I felt intimidated. I have to compete against people that can afford ultra professional consulting? But then reminded myself that some people can very much pay $3k and still not get an acceptance to their dream school (ouch). Others don't pay anything and get scholarships (goals). These are competitive and unpredictable cycles. Who knows what next year will look like.
To this I say: Amor fati, my fellow applicants!
**If you're able to afford these prices, please DM me if you're hiring. Or would like to sponsor.
Hi everyone. I started studying for the LSAT in February and scored a 149 on my first blind PT. I have been studying since then, having gone through most of the 7sages curriculum, and my most recent full PT, I scored a 158. I have been zeroing in on my LR over the past little while, and have kinda plateaued in the -6,-8 range, and haven't been able to get out. I am seeking any advice people may have for this. I have not watched any of the question type specifc videos 7sage has- is that stupid of me? I found a lot of early success just using common sense, but maybe it would pay to go back to those videos? If anybody has advice, please let me know!
I am an international applicant hoping to apply next cycle, so my only real chance is to take this test in June. I don't really have another option, so I gotta lock this in. Best of luck to everyone, you got this!! 
Hi everyone, I am looking for advice. On my timed Practice Tests, I usually get in the mid 150s range but when I Blind Review my scores are in the 170s. When I do the practice tests, I always seem to be running out of time every section, especially in RC.
My question is, how do I close this gap? What are some best practices for answering questions with speed?
Hi everyone! I recently started paying attention to the new feature that predicts your score based on performance in drills and section. I know that it isn't always a perfect predictor of your score but I am curious if anyone has seen similar results to their predicted score on their practice tests/actual LSAT scores?
I took my first LSAT in September and scored way lower than I hoped. I scored a 146 but am planning on retaking in June and I have been getting consistent ranges in the upper 150 and 160's I am just curious how accurate this might be.
Thank you and good luck to everyone in their study journey!
Hi all! I'm Kerry, and I'm currently taking students for the June 2026 LSAT and beyond.
I'm a magna cum laude J.D. graduate of Michigan Law, and I also have an M.A. in Law from Yale University. After leaving BigLaw and transitioning into parenthood, I began tutoring the LSAT full-time in 2015. I've helped hundreds of students gain admission to dozens of law schools all around the U.S. and Canada.
My emphasis is on true comprehension--there is simply no substitute for truly understanding what is being asked of you, what your job is, and how to do that job. I endeavor to break down the thought processes that high scorers engage in, step by step, so that you can progress quickly and consistently.
I live in the Detroit area, Eastern time zone, and I tutor five days a week-- Sunday-Monday and Wednesday-Friday. I keep a wide range of hours to make myself available to students across various time zones, but I prefer to work between 9 a.m. Eastern and 10 p.m. Eastern.
My preferred session length is 90 minutes, though I'm happy to work with you if you have a preference for shorter or longer. My base rate is $120 per hour ($180 for a single 90-minute sessions), and I do offer package discounts of up to 20% off for a package of 20 sessions or more). Other discounts are available for smaller packages.
Please reach out to me at kerry@lsatmaven.com and mention that you found me on 7Sage!
Hi everyone,
I'm hosting a Logical Reasoning study group on Friday at 5 p.m. Eastern. I'd like to make this a series going forward, and for this first session I plan to present on how to attack Sufficient and Necessary Assumption questions. There's certainly room for flexibility, though, and I'm open to suggestions for future sessions.
Feel free to check out my bio or reach out with any questions!

Are windows allowed in your Argumentative Essay Question? I plan to draw the curtains and close the blinds if so.
When you do your Argumentative Essay, do you have to take one of the perspective listed? I heard no but I want to confirm. I know you have to counter address at least 2 perspectives in your essay.
Is there any down side to taking a 2nd LSAT? I took the April test. Deadline for June tests is coming up. Since I won't have my score until then, I figure I should just sign up and take it. Very worst case is I somehow scored my best score on the most recent test (167) and then score badly on the 2nd go round, but that probably doesn't affect admissions I have been told, right?
How much time do you need to prepare applications for colleges? How do you know if you have scholarship from a college after application, they just tell you? Is it a separate application?
I took 1 practice LSAT Argumentative Writing on Lawhub. I plan to prep and practice 2 more before the real thing. Any other particular good website links you have to have me prepared for the essay?
Thanks!
Hi All,
Here are the office hours times this week! You can find me under the discussion page (here) on the bottom left where it says "Tutor Office Hour" at these times! Hope to see some of y'all there!
My study plan is still showing “Week 1” even though it’s been about 3 weeks and I’ve completed every step assigned.
At this point, I’ve just been generating new blocks at the start of each week, but all the blocks stills say week 1.
Am I missing something that marks the week as complete, or is this a bug? Has anyone else run into this?
Hello everyone!
I just started my LSAT study journey as of March, and originally started on LawHub. After hearing a recommendation from a coworker who successfully passed the test, I’ve been coming here and adding mentally to the notes I physically wrote from my month on LawHub daily.
I have really enjoyed 7sage and their “just practice” account option, as a platform like this really helps me to hone in on what I need to work on, while still showcasing the early skills I do have (which always feels good). I have been wanting to further my connection here by subscribing, but I am unsure on the weight of the costs coupled with having to create an LSAC account and the bump to upfront funds due. Thankfully I work gainfully and could afford to upgrade with serious financial and budget awareness; however, I am torn. I understand that ultimately it’s better to subscribe to the program and start studying a lot more personalized for the best results, but I wanted to ask others first who may feel or felt the same.
Has anyone else in an extremely tight financial situation took the leap of faith by subscribing to 7Sage monthly? Do you have any words of encouragement or wisdom in maintaining a budget with a commitment like this?
Ideally meant for those planning to take the LSAT summer 2026 (either july/august), however I welcome all who are interested! I would love to connect with any fellow studiers who also feel like they would benefit from some in-person group studying.
Hi, as I start thinking about my personal statement- I wanted to get some opinions about mentioning mental health, it would be mentioned in the least dramatic way possible I promise and it would not be the main theme, just a small touchpoint within the broader picture. I just wanted to see if admissions officers would read about struggles with mental health and see it as a drawback (again nothing debilitating), is there a stigma? Thanks!!!
7Sage will be temporarily unavailable while we update our servers.
Eastern time: 5am Wednesday, April 15th
Pacific time: 2am Wednesday, April 15th
The site will be available again in two hours, hopefully less.
Please avoid doing a PrepTest or Problem Set near this time so that your work is not interrupted. Sorry for any inconvenience!
Will 7sage update practice tests and drills to look more like the new LSAT interface?
I have found this LR Cheat Sheet (very useful. Is there something similar anyone has available for the RC section?.
I am 3 weeks away from completing the learning portion of 7Sage, so I went back to some older lessons to refine some concepts I'm a little shaky on- thus I came across a few newly embedded adaptive drilling. LOL they are actually a nightmare for me!
I drill pretty religiously and never delete my analytics. Most of my drills are randomized questions and not PT's, and 7sage saw allllll my flaws. This is soooo much better than drilling question types for me because most lot of my wrong-answer choices come from misreading an answer choice or forgetting the stimulus while going over the answer choices. I don't know how adaptive drilling knows this- but I've been met with those questions pretty consistently. This is pretty amazing and I am hoping that I can improve soon!
I took the LSAT August 2025 and January 2026. I got the same score (142) both times. I am looking to take it again in June 2026 to get off the waitlist at my top school. Is it possible to start studying now and get a 150 in June?
hi! i'm a current junior in college aiming for a 175+. i've been prepping for a while since the summer of 2025, but have been pretty lax with it up until february 2026. i completed the 7sage core curriculum over the last summer, with a diagnostic of 164. my score has barely shifted over the past few months of consistent practice tests and drilling. the highest pt i've gotten is a 169, and i seem to end up around there every time.
when i completed the 7sage core curriculum, i used the old website. is it worth redoing the curriculum for the new content? i just don't know how to improve my score. i've been doing practice tests, blind review, all that jazz. i go over every question i get wrong and put it in my WAJ so i've identified patterns in my mistakes, but it always seems like smtg new comes up. timing used to be a bit of an issue for me, but now i've learned to better pace myself. yet, i'm still getting questions wrong and my effort over the past few months feels a bit like its been wasted since my score hasn't really shifted.
i was thinking about pursuing tutoring for more direct support, but not sure where to look for that and if it would be helpful. any guidance would be appreciated on how to approach studying, especially as i am hoping to take the exam in june!
