I have been studying for the past 3-4 months but feel as if nothing is breaking through. When I drill, I am usually able to understand all my mistakes after review and am constantly note taking. But when I am doing PTs or longer drills- it feels like nothing is breaking through. I FEEL like I know so much more but my actual performance is showing other wise.

My PTs have been 145, 153, 152, 160 (which really encouraged me), 152 and 153.

I have not done the core curriculum or watched videos. I feel as if I am a fail, examine and learn, type of learner, but will of course consider this. Does anyone have any suggestions or any notes? I am so convinced I understand the logic and tricks soooo much more- but in practice it shows otherwise. I KNOW we can all do this, but super disheartened.

Had to get zero wrong out of respect for how many picks the Lakers have left

Hi, could we have a feature that shows us which of the 4 sections were experimental? Also, not sure if this had been addressed- but is there plans to update the BR up to the new law hub appearance?

I am stuck. I am horrible at RC and have been studying for over 6 months now with multiple types of resources (7sage, tutoring, blueprint, powerscore...) and nothing is helping. I cant seem to get better AT ALL. I am not fully sure where my problem is but I am a ESL lsat studier and i don't know if that's why. I will accept any help, any tips and any tricks.

THANK YOU!!!

If you're feeling stuck or de-motivated, you're not alone. Improving your LSAT score takes a lot of practice.

How much? We ran the numbers: https://7sage.com/how-long-to-improve

Hello everyone,

My name is João, and I scored a 171 on the June LSAT. I’m currently offering LSAT tutoring focused on helping students identify and eliminate recurring mistakes through a structured, detail-oriented review process.

As a non-native English speaker, I understand the specific challenges that can come with mastering Logical Reasoning and Reading Comprehension. My own preparation involved breaking down every mistake carefully and building targeted drills to fix weak patterns rather than just doing more practice tests.

What I offer:

1. Free initial consultation to analyze your current performance and identify key improvement areas

2. Detailed review of your PrepTests to detect recurring mistake patterns

3. Personalized drills tailored specifically to your weaknesses

4. Customized study plan focused on efficient score improvement

5. Strategy development for Logical Reasoning (my main strength)

If we are a good fit after the consultation, my rate is $20/hour.

This is best suited for students who are around the 150–160 range and want to break into the 160s or 170s with a more structured and analytical approach.

Feel free to reach out if you’d like to set up a consultation or ask any questions.

Best, João

I love this little critter, it’s a really good motivator and when I need to reason something or have it give suggestions on my WAJ it does a great job. When I’m struggling with something as well it gives great advice that works. However, you can tell once the chat has run off too long because it starts referencing the same 5 things from the beginning of the conversation and god forbid you say something about doing this and going to bed, it’s gonna reference that forever. I think it’d be really helpful to automatically start a new chat every day or something to that effect instead of being forced to when it degrades too much.

Hey, I am planning on taking the lsat this in September and I am looking for a study partner(s) in Toronto.

I am aiming for a 170+. We meet up in-person every week, do practice questions and drills together. Help each other out with difficult questions and assist each other to help us get ready for the LSAT.

If you are in Toronto and would be down to study together, message me :)

The standard schedule administers one preptest a week. I registered for the August test, started with a 166 have a 170+ goal. I was wondering if it would be worthwhile to limit drilling to full sections only, and bringing in a second preptest midweek to simulate testing conditions more frequently. Anyone have insight on this plan?

Hi everyone,

I applied for the 2026 admissions cycle and did not get into the schools I wanted. Because of that fact I decided retake the LSAT and reapply for fall 2027. I am almost certain my LSAT score was the defining factor in those decisions, but was curious about my personal statement. I felt my personal statement was strong, but when it comes to reapplying to schools I applied to this year, is it smart to change it up? Or the better question I suppose is, does it look bad if I resubmit the same personal statements from the previous year?

After I have published a note, I cannot seem to edit it anymore. Anyone else having this issue. Clicking "Edit Note" does nothing for me.

Hi everyone,

I have cerebral palsy with severe muscle spasms, and I'm planning to take the LSAT this fall.

I'm wondering if anyone here has cerebral palsy or another condition with severe spasms. How do you manage studying on difficult days? Do you have any tips for staying consistent or preparing for the LSAT while dealing with chronic pain and muscle spasms?

I'd really appreciate any advice or experiences you're willing to share. Thank you!

I like the question analytics feature where it shows your accuracy with certain question types and will also show you what the level of accuracy for that question type is for those who achieve your goal score. I am wondering if there can be a feature added that will calculate out an estimate LSAT score for someone based on their accuracy with each question type.

I feel this feature would allow people to see in real time what increases in accuracy with certain question types is doing for them. Maybe someone in the course of a week only increase some question types by 3-5% and feel discouraged if the suggested accuracy is still 15% away, but this feature could hopefully counteract that by showing the affect on someone's predicted score - something that all of us care about greatly due to the consequences the score can have for us.

Obviously a disclaimer regarding the accuracy of such a feature would be important, since the only real way to be confident in reaching that score is to take PTs to simulate the actual exam and built mental endurance, but I still think this would have its uses as a motivation for people.

I'll be traveling this weekend and won't have internet access but would love to spend the time studying. Is there a way to use any of 7Sage's features offline? Or does anybody have any recommendations on offline studying?

hello, i am going to apply to a lot of schools for fall 2027 admission and would love to start writing essays this summer. i have personal and diversity statement drafts, which i know stay the same each year. however, i worry that if i work on school-specific prompts from previous years, they might change. are the 7sage prompts accurate? also they dont really list response length which is also a problem for me. should i just work with that, or what do you recommend? i have a busy fall and want to take advantage of my summer

if you have any tips on how to organize my time with what components of my apps i should work on, please also lmk, thanks!

Hi everyone,

I'm planning to apply to law school this cycle while also preparing for the LSAT. I have cerebral palsy with severe muscle spasms, so balancing my health with studying and the application process has been challenging.

Has anyone here applied to law school while managing a physical disability or chronic medical condition? I'd love to hear any advice about staying on track, managing the application process, or anything you wish you had known before applying.

Thank you!

This was just a section but incredibly motivating to see

This is part of how I got to a 177 PT after 4 weeks of studying.

Hi! I have a master's degree in education, and I'm currently using it to minmax my studying for this test using some of the most foundational things that teachers learn about in college. That means I want to put in the least amount of study hours and have the maximum retention and mastery of the material. I'd like to share with you what I know, so you, too, can steal my study methods.

I'd like to introduce y'all to a framework called Bloom's Taxonomy. This is one tool teachers are using when they create lesson plans and decide what order students should learn things in. This is also the very foundation of what I'm doing to accelerate my study timeline.

No matter what curriculum you're using to study for the LSAT, you should not be starting off with immediately doing questions*. Instead, you need to learn the very most basic facts and concepts and understand what you're reading. Most people think that this means that they should skim the article, maybe watch the video for a little bit, and then call it a day. "Okay, I've done the reading, now I can apply." No. Without truly understanding what you just read and internalizing it, you cannot get the apply, analyze, and evaluate stages of Bloom's taxonomy (which is where the questions live). And I'll be honest, this part, the understand and remember stage, does require a little bit of front-loading the material. Meaning, you might put more hours into this stage than any other stage.

So what does internalizing something mean? How do I do it repeatably, easily, and fluidly? It's not really a one-size-fits-all kind of situation, but the "topic learning cycle" I outline below can really improve your retention. It may not work for everyone, but it is one framework based on the science of how people actually learn that works for me.

1. Day 1 of a topic: Be an active reader. This means finding ways to connect with the text using some level of background knowledge. This means asking questions of the text and actively summarizing in your brain as you read. I'll probably make a separate post on the details of active reading strategies we teach in k-12.

2. Day 1: Check your understanding. This is different than the Apply stage on Bloom's. Checking your understanding means perhaps doing a skill builder or a you try (caution - this does involve going beyond the understand level of Bloom's sometimes) about the material that you just consumed. If there isn't a Skill Builder published about that reading, or there isn't a you try published about that reading, then you need to design it yourself as you're reading. One way you can do this is anytime you have a question about the reading, write that question down on an index card. Then, if the answer comes up later, write that answer down on the back side. Then compile all your index cards and quiz yourself with them.

3. Day 2: Only take notes on the second pass! The first time you read something, it should be purely for understanding. The second time, you should take notes on what you remember as the most important things in the reading. This should ideally happen at least a day after you did the reading the first time.

4. Day 3: Compile your notes, any quiz questions you made for yourself, and any key terms from the reading into an Anki deck. While I have my own, it is way more effective if you make it for yourself. Identifying what to put in the deck is part of the learning process.

5. Day 4 and beyond: use spaced repetition, which is what Anki is for, to continue to review the material as you add new material in (note - Anki will not be the only way you use this material, it is just the foundation).

Does this mean that you're taking four days to learn each topic? Yes, but you shouldn't be only learning one topic at a time. There's a reason I said this was a cycle:

1. Day 1: learn one topic.

2. Day 2: review the first topic and add in a second.

3. Day 3: review topics one and two and add in a third.

What do I mean by one topic? Well, there isn't an easy, clear-cut answer for this. One topic could mean just one reading here on 7Sage. It could also mean all of the content in a module. It really depends on you: how much your brain can handle learning at once and how long you have to study.

Now, I know I just said that you probably shouldn't be using actual LSAT questions during this stage, but there are a couple exceptions. You could probably safely do the Main Conclusion and Argument Part questions as soon as you have memorized all of the argument indicator words and understand what an argument structure is. That might be getting to apply just a little bit, but I would argue it's still mostly in the understand stage

By taking the time to truly internalize each topic that you learn, you'll be much better prepared to move on to the apply, analyze, and evaluate stages of Bloom's taxonomy. That's the end of this post, but I'll probably make another one about the higher stages later on.

*yes, you should take a diagnostic.

Hey everyone! I’m taking the August 2026 LSAT and I’m looking to create a small, practice-focused LSAT review group.

Since the August test is coming up soon, I’d like to create a group where we exchange difficult LSAT questions, explain our reasoning, critique each other’s thought process, and help each other improve through actual practice and review.

My idea is to make this mostly email-based or through a shared Google Doc. Each day, members could contribute 1–2 questions they missed or found difficult, including the PT/section/question number, their original reasoning, why they think they got it wrong, and what they want help understanding. Others would respond with explanations, alternative approaches, or comments on the reasoning.

We could also do a weekly review where each person shares their main wrong-answer patterns, what they are drilling, and any questions they want the group to discuss more deeply.

I’m based in Philadelphia, so if there are local people and it makes sense, we could also do in-person review sessions.

If you’re also preparing for the August LSAT and would be interested in a question-exchange / critical review group, feel free to comment or message me.

Hi, I would love to hear some testimonials about your experience with 7Sage. I don't know anyone personally who has taken it before. I want to make sure I get a better idea of what the experience is like for students who achieved their dream score.

I'm still in the decision-making stage between Test Prep Companies and want to ensure I make the right choice.

Thank you for your time and advice.

Hi everyone — I'm in the process of finalizing my law school resume and have two questions I'd love input on.

Community College: I completed a pathway program at a community college where I earned both an Associate's in General Studies and an Associate's in Science before transferring to my undergraduate institution. I've seen conflicting advice on whether to include it — some say it shows your full academic journey while others say it's unnecessary once you've completed a bachelor's degree. Do law schools expect to see it, or is it safe to leave off? I'm also wondering if the pathway program context changes anything.

MPH Practicum: I completed an MPH and my resume currently includes my practicum experience. Since the practicum was a required component of the degree rather than independent work, I'm inclined to remove it to keep the resume focused. Has anyone navigated this — does removing it look like a gap, or does the MPH degree itself speak for the experience?

Would really appreciate hearing from anyone who has faced similar decisions or has insight from the admissions side. Thanks in advance!

Hi guys, my name is Tania. I've been studying for the LSAT since the start of this year. I am registered to take the August LSAT and am now looking to start or join a study group, preferably in person. I am located in the IE area (CA). I want to make this last month of studying fun and something I look forward to.

Hello all! I am consistently getting about sixteen questions correct on logical reasoning sections. I typically get two to three wrong within the first 15/16 questions but then I tank in the last ten. I feel like I am not improving on those harder questions and I haven't been able to identify why that is.

I am currently doing timed sections and untimed drilling. My accuracy is usually anywhere from 70-75 percent on the questions that I get to and I on average score a 15/16. However, I usually don't get to about the last five.

If anyone wants to share any advice or have any study tips that significantly helped them I'm more than open to hearing them. Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks & happy studying to everyone!

Edit: I tried to implement everyone's suggestions in a timed LR section (mostly skipping questions that were eating up my time and going back to them) and was able to get to all of the questions. I also scored a 17/25 and received a 17/25 for my accuracy as well. Thank you everyone!
