Will there be an actual human, at least at the beginning, of my LSAT? I had an issue with the Argumentative Writing where I couldn't get my external camera to focus on my ID, but wasn't able to switch to my internal camera (which has better focus for reading IDs) because if I tried to switch the recording stopped. I wasn't worried about it though, because the writing sample is very low stakes, and they just asked me to email them a picture of the same ID I was trying to scan. But I do not want to make the same mistake on the real test day and have my score get canceled or something. Maybe I'll try holding a picture on my phone of my ID to help the camera, as some people have said that helped them get a picture; but just wondering if there's someone I will be able to converse or that will actually be watching me during the test.

Hello,

When I log in, it says that my LawHub Advantage subscription is expiring in a couple of days. Does anyone know if I need to renew it to continue using 7Sage? Thank you! :)

Getting a 170+ on the LSAT doesn’t require superhuman intelligence—it requires learning how to think like someone who consistently scores in the 170s. In this episode, we break down what that mindset looks like: slower, more methodical, and laser-focused on clarity. If you’ve ever felt like you're rushing through sections, second-guessing yourself, or missing the forest for the trees, this one’s for you. We’ll talk about how the "170 Brain" approaches Reading Comp, Logical Reasoning, and even test-day decisions. It's not about being perfect—it's about thinking differently.

Are drills and practice sections available with the free subscription?

Come spend an hour with me, the coordinator of 7Sage's law admissions programs, as I review applications that under (and over!) performed and discuss the best application strategies for 2025.

The class is this Friday, August 8th at 12PM ET.

A report comparing my progress to that of other users on the site would be helpful for understanding where I stand on the learning curve. The expected accuracy and percentage in the Priority by Tag analytics are a great addition.

In the example below, the average number of questions per test is calculated by dividing the total number of questions (29) by the number of tests taken (4), which should result in 7.25 questions per test.

I saw a message from David earlier about feedback on the new site. I really like the site—the analytics are detailed and offer valuable insights into testing performance. However, I noticed that the expected accuracy is incorrect.

Hi! I found that I am very weak in the more difficult questions involving conditional and casual reasoning. Where can I look for study material/ how can I improve my understanding to get more effective at answering these question types?

Any advice on closing the gap from timed sections to PTs?

On timed sections, I'm regularly score between -1 & -3. However, when I take a PT, I totally bomb and score -6/7. What gives?! And how can I get my PT sections to look more like my timed practice?

Hi!

I am preparing for law school applications. I have successfully had three people agree to write letters of recommendation for me. However, I am unsure of a couple of things:

If anyone can give any guidance for this, I would appreciate it. Thank you!

im in such a groove of pt and blind review that i want to blind review my real test in case i need to take it again

Looking for advice from folks on when they diagram a question (if you diagram at all) and when you don't. I've been studying Condr questions a lot recently and some seem impossible without writing formal logic down. However, I've also fallen into the trap of forcing formal logic into questions that don't need it, and therefore making the question harder to solve. PT117.s3.q9 is an example. What do people do about this?

I’m deep into the PT and drilling phase of my LSAT prep and have hit a wall trying to navigate the tag system in 7Sage’s analytics. Is there a centralized resource that explains each tag and links to the corresponding lesson or video for review?

I came across Albert Gauthier’s July 2024 blog post titled "New LR Tags in 7Sage," which was super helpful, but it only covers the new LR tags and doesn’t include links to explanation videos for most sections.

Right now, I’m working through my high-priority areas, but I’m getting increasingly frustrated trying to figure out what each tag even means and what lessons I should revisit.

Does a full tag reference guide exist anywhere on 7Sage? If so, where can I find it? If not, can this be something the 7Sage team prioritizes adding? It feels like such a crucial tool to help make targeted studying easier and make the analytics section more worthwhile.

Thanks in advance!

I am aiming for a 165 on August/September LSAT, I've been sitting in the low 160s, but have made massive gains in LR. For example, I just had my best LR section today, scoring a -2 on a tough (3 star difficulty) PT section. To couple that, I've been trying to get my LR down to the -3/4 range to give myself more wiggle room on RC. For some reason RC has just not improved, if any maybe become worse. I just did a 15 question drill, on 2 tough art/spotlight passages (my 2 worst by far) and got 8/15 wrong. (Lol) What am I doing wrong with RC??? I feel like a lot of the time I read the tough passages I kind of just have no idea what the fuck is going on, get to the questions and try to fill in the gaps with my wrong ACs, and kinda exacerbate my passage ignorance.

Hi all! I’ve noticed a pattern while studying LR — it’s not specific question types that trip me up, but rather the hardest questions at the end of the section (usually the last 6–8). I tend to get those wrong, even when I do really well on the earlier ones. Any tips on how to get better at those tough, high-difficulty questions? Would love to hear what worked for you.

I have done 18 prep tests and I guess I did not realize that there were only a limited number available. I only have one left to do and since 7Sage reflects the prep tests that LawHub has I really have none left since the earlier tests I have used most the questions in drilling. Are there other resources that I can access full prep tests? My scores have been extremely volatile ranging from 163 to 155 with the RC sections as the biggest influence. I take the LSAT the 9th of this month and was hoping to try and gain more consistency in my scores.

I am struggling horribly bad with the sufficient assumption questions in the sufficient assumption module. I don't know why I can't get it at all. I don't even understand what I'm not understanding.

Does anyone have any life saving advice with sufficient assumptions? Or a video that helped them understand?

Has anyone gone into an LSAT or PT not intending to get to the last 5 questions? Studying for 4 months and my PT scores are below where I'd like them to be -- taking August and October test. I'm able to get 90% accuracy if I'm 10-20 seconds over the question target time on average (difficulty level doesn't seem to make a difference).

I know it would be ideal to naturally increase speed with accuracy but that's not the world I'm living in this week. I would save enough time to make strategic "guesses" at the end, but I'm thinking I'd rather miss the 5 last questions vs 7-10 throughout because I'm freaked out trying to finish the section. Is this a bad idea? Has anyone done this?

How do I get better at reading and understanding arguments faster?

One of my favorite parts of this course was the opening statement about the mechanisms that ensure the test will have good questions, and we should therefore be less concerned about arbitrary distinctions. You say that there is a large board, review processes internally, and there are incentives for test takers to appeal problems since it will improve their scores.

I take issue with the last premise though. I took the LSAT a few months ago and had two really large issues with the administration.

For one thing it started 2-3 hours late and was administered terribly with lots of loud sounds and talking. I wrote a complaint to the LSAC about this and nothing happened. This hurts my confidence in the fairness of the test.

Second, I had a strong suspicion about one of the questions being incorrectly written, but since the questions aren't posted anywhere and there seemingly isn't a way to appeal for adjustments, I have a strong suspicion JY was wrong in his initial course. I do not think there is any way to appeal questions, which is such a shame since this is such an important test and it is developed by a private company with zero oversight and a profit incentive to crank questions out as cheaply as possible.

I've done a few drills on other platforms before coming over to 7Sage and I was wondering if there was a way for me to view 7Sage's explanation of the question without having taken the test or PT? Is there a page that outlines all of their explanations of some sort? I feel like I remember something similar being on the old website, but I could be mistaken. Thank you for the help!

Can correct answer choices for necessary questions be perspective claims? I remember the lessons mentioning that they often aren't but I wanted to clarify!

Any insight is appreciated, thank you!

Do you try to minimize subvocalization (hearing each word in your head) when reading RC passages? Why/why not?

Basically, I bought 7Sage after the June LSAT to try to score 170+ in Sept. I haven't really seen any score increases and while I understand that improvement gets harder the higher the score is, I'm a bit lost in terms of what else I could do beyond just drill more. At this point I'm just hoping to get lucky since my June score was in the 170 range they give lol. Any advice on how to break this wall?

Hello LSAT internet, I have been scoring consistently around the low 160s, last 3 PTs were 164/163/163 with blind review scores in the low 170s (170/172/174)

With a few weeks to the September test, what's the best strategy to try and close that gap?

I use my WAJ religiously, and take a few hours after I've blind reviewed to go over questions I struggled with or got wrong.

Doing about -4 on LR and -5 on RC, but LR is better in timed individual sections -2/-3

TIA!!!
