I'm trying to work now to get my RC score down to the -5 range, and I'm drilling a lot on the passage types im bad at, and most of the hard or hardest passages I'll get 2 or 3 wrong, and on the easier ones, 1 or 2 maybe, if I get a good selection of passages its likely I;ll be in that -6 range. EXCEPT for spotlight passages; something about spotlight passages just doesn't click for me, there's a majority 1 star or 2 star passages where I'll get straight up 4 out of 6 or 7 ACs wrong, and I don't understand why, does anyone have any tips? I'm confident my LR will be at -4/5 for August/Sept LSAT, but if I can't get my RC out of the -7/8 zone I won't be able to get a 165

Does anyone notice that on newer PTs, there have been more instances of themselves comparing answer choices in LR and asking which is the better one? (Especially with strengthen/weaken questions.) This is just something I've noticed myself doing more often on the newer PTs, whereas in the older ones, once in a while there might be a question that makes me do that, but most of the time the wrong answers have a very definitive reason as to why they're wrong.

Would love to know if this is actually a trend with how the LSAT is changing.

Hey all,

I took the June LSAT and ended up getting a 164, which for me was not ideal. I am attempting the LSAT again this August with the hopes of scoring 172 or above. It may be a stretch, but I'm willing to put in the work. For me personally, I feel like my LR performance needs some improvement, though we can also go over RC if needed.

My timezone is EST, but people from other zones are also welcome. I am looking to study consistently Monday through Friday and then dedicate the weekend for a practice exam and blind review. We can work out the exact timings of the meetings later once enough people have joined. If anyone is in the same boat as I am, feel free to send me your discord tag so that I can add you to my server.

Everyone,

"Desire is the key to motivation, but it's determination and commitment to an unrelenting pursuit of your goal - a commitment to excellence - that will enable you to attain the success you seek." By Mario Andretti.

I would like to say ‘Hi’ to our 7Sage family. I have been here on and off for almost a year. I fortunately met J.Y. Ping in person when I was working in Korea. He is very smart and inspired me. I always find my excuse to avoid the study by doing something unnecessary.

I think this is the time to change and give a commitment to myself that I will make it happen like most of you. I am happy to come here and see many of you improving a lot by studying from 7Sage. I would like to do the same.

Let’s make it happen, TOGETHER!

Hello! I'd like to start an in-person/virtual study group for those wanting to study, drill, read, and motivate one another. I'm not taking the LSAT until April 2026, but I do plan on taking it more than once next year. We can get a group text/chat going and then go from there! Best wishes to all and happy studying!

Hi everyone,

I’ve been studying for the LSAT consistently but inconsistently for about a year now. I started in the low to mid-140s and have since climbed into the 150s, but I’m aiming to break into the 160 to 165+ range by the September test.

By “consistently but inconsistently,” I mean that I’ve tried to study as regularly as possible, but I haven’t had a full two-week stretch of uninterrupted, focused prep during that time. Due to personal life changes, working 20 to 30 hours a week, and maintaining some extracurriculars post-grad, my schedule has been pretty fragmented. I know this has likely contributed to my score plateau.

Right now, I usually try to complete one timed LR section and one timed RC section per week, along with some drilling and review. I also keep a wrong answer journal, although it sometimes feels tedious and time-consuming. For resources, I’ve used The LSAT Trainer for RC, completed the 7Sage curriculum last summer, and worked through The Loophole.

At this point, I’m feeling a bit frustrated that my score has been stuck in the low 150s for a few months. If any of you have broken through a similar plateau in a short time frame (1 to 2 months), I’d really appreciate any tips. Whether it’s study schedules, habits, tricks, or anything else that helped you see a jump, I’m open to suggestions.

Thanks in advance, and best of luck to everyone studying right now!

As my title suggests, I'm wondering what the odds are of either one of these occuring, if I had to guess, id say 3 lr section is a little more common than 2 lr but thats just speculation. Im equally good (actually bad) at both sections, but LR is way more fun for me, something about the RCs are just very annoying, not harder but Id rather do 3 LRs, so I find i try to take the 3 LR section PTs rather than 2 LR ones. Added a poll too because no one ever uses them and I think theyre cool

Hello! I am unsure when I should take the LSAT so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I am currently a rising junior in college in New York, and I live in CA. I have just started studying for the LSAT, and I prefer to take it in California, not in New York, so that limits the months I can take it. As a student-athlete, I am pretty busy during the school year. Should I use this summer, the upcoming school year (25-26), and next summer to study so I can take it next July or August (2026)? Does this seem like a reasonable plan?

This will be my first time taking it, so I'm wondering if my second time should be the summer after senior year of college/after I graduate, when I am hopefully working as a paralegal or something (before I apply to law school). Idk, I have not really thought out when I should take it a second time. Lmk what you guys think!

Thanks in advance for the input!

Hello I am Dan, I took the LSAT in February and Scored a 166 and have been scoring above 170 on practice tests. I am planning to take the August and September LSATs with the hope of breaking 170. I am looking for other people who would like to study together 1-3 times a week for about an hour to go over questions and work together. I tend to gain a lot from helping people with questions I got but they missed and vise versa. (Essentially taking turns being the tutor for a few mins) If anyone would like to join please let me know.

Please note: I am mainly looking for others with similar scores so that we may focus on squeezing out those last difficult points. So preferably you have practice or real lsats scores over 165 or higher but it is not required.

If you're registered for the March or April LSAT like me, you probably got an email with this sentence in it: "Candidates currently registered for the April 2020 LSAT will be automatically registered to take the LSAT-Flex in the second half of May unless they choose another option (see below)." So of course I assumed I didn't need to do anything to be registered for the May LSAT-Flex test.

I was surprised then to see this tweet from Dave Killorian (CEO of PowerScore and a must follow for updates):

https://twitter.com/DaveKilloran/status/1250101285879042048?s=20

So I log into my LSAC account only to see a banner at the top of my home page that indicates I have to OPT-IN to take the May LSAT-Flex, and that the deadline to do so is 4/17. I don't know what the hell LSAC is doing telling people they are automatically registered and then requiring people to opt-in, I was so pissed.

All this to say, if you were signed up for March or April, log into your LSAC account and DOUBLE CHECK that you are registered for the May LSAT-Flex. You may still need to opt-in.

hi! posted this on the new forum as well, but in case it didn't cross-post:

looking for some advice. in the past month and a half, i've scored 180, 180, 179, 173, 175, 171, 171. I feel like I've been studying just as hard and focusing on my weaknesses in the same way that brought me to those high initial scores. I'm not sure what I'm doing differently to account for the drop. I haven't been particularly stressed or overwhelmed, and nothing major has changed in my lifestyle. Maybe the PTs in the late 130s were just easier for me than the ones I'm taking in the 140s?

Has anyone experienced something similar, and do you have any advice? My test is in a month and I'd like to reach my full potential again.

I’m based outside the U.S., currently prepping for law school apps (Fall 2025 cycle), and already took my first official test. I’d love to connect more directly with international test takers. If you're also studying for a retake, want to share strategies, or just need mutual accountability comment if you're in!

I have a question regarding the drilling method that I should be using (Specifically for LR Q's).

-Should I be using the "Drilling" sections in the CC found after each LR question type in order to practice to improve on each of those question types?

-Would doing so too often cause me to lose valuable resources that I would gain from taking the full prep tests?

I want to improve on the question types that I am struggling with, especially the harder questions in those subsections, but don't want to use up all of the material from the prep tests.

If you have any advice on how to drill properly and efficiently your help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Everyone,

I just finished to core curriculum and I have a very good understanding of all the concepts. This is just for LR but I took an untimed section just to make sure I have a fundamental understanding of all the concepts and got 24/25. I feel like now I should start drilling and doing practice exams. Can anyone share how they built a study plan like this after the CC. Also how did that help you? If you could go back and give some advice to yourself in my shoes what would you say?

Thanks so much for all your help!
