Very straight forward from the Post Title. It would be great if you could reorder manually selected questions in your own choosing or with a "randomize" button.

We're holding a free small-group review session on Sunday at 3 p.m. ET in Study Room 2.

Take PrepTest 140 before the session. Then come and review it together with other 7Sagers.

The sessions will be student-led—no 7Sage staff will be in the meeting.

Independent tutors are welcome to participate.

PSA: If you show up first, please stick around. Your fellow 7Sagers will join you.

Hello Everyone,

I have been stuck in the 140s for a few months now, and I want some advice on how to improve. I took the January LSAT and scored a 144. I am going to apply for the September test, and I am aiming for a 170+. Can anyone who has ever had a big score increase please advise on what to do? I am looking to apply to enter the Fall 2027 cycle. For context, I have been taking a course on 7sage and have been reading the loophole as well since the beginning of the month.

When it comes to higher difficulty questions I have a tendency to narrow down to 2 answer choices, one of them being the correct answer. I also tend to second guess myself and change my answer due to lack of confidence. In sum, I just can't stop getting tricked up by these answer choices despite understanding the stimulus.

I love 7Sage’s Smart Drill feature. Mine only feeds me LR questions, though — I’d love to see an option added for RC as well. Maybe so that when you click the Smart Drill button on the home page, the next prompt is to choose which section to work on. If there’s already a way to do this that I’ve missed, let me know!

I've been seeing this glitch for the past couple of weeks now where, when I finish an RC drill, I review it, and hit the "do another drill" button. But the site just takes me back to the drill I just did to answer those questions again. It used to take me back to the page where I can start a new drill. Has this been happening for anyone else?

Scoring in the high 160s but stuck just short of the 170s? This episode breaks down one of the most common frustrations we hear: getting down to two answer choices… and picking the wrong one.

@AlexJacobs and @BaileyLuber explain why that pattern isn’t actually the problem—and what you should be focusing on instead. They walk through how to identify real weaknesses, how to stop talking yourself into wrong answers, and how to make better decisions under pressure on test day.

If you’re aiming to close that final gap into the 170s, this is the mindset shift you need.

Help! While taking PTs, my scores tend to be low, but on BR, I tend to do WAY better (15+) on scaled scores. How can I close this gap so that my BR scores are reflected purely during the timed PT. Also, I actually don't spend toooo much time per question doing BR, so I'm not sure if my issue is really timing or just test anxiety. Any advice?!

Help!

I'm consistently scoring in 150s but my BRs easily average in 160s. I've improved at prephrasing and identifying question stems faster now. So I'm guessing the gap lies in interpreting the ACs correctly and also just knowing when to skip and go? When I see really lengthy stimulus (not just parallel reasoning questions), I would assume the target time is 1:20 or something but reading the stimulus itself takes 50s, so idk if I'm supposed to pick an answer in like 30s?? Is that reasonable??

If you struggled similarly and saw improvements in your timing, please help! How did you drill? How do you proceed in a section? Also if you think there is any other issue that I'm overlooking, let me know!

Hi! What is the best way to do a wrong answer journal? How do I turn why an answer is wrong/right into a generalization about what I shouldn’t/should do when answering LSAT qs? (For RC and LR)

Should I make a wrong answer journal for RC? If so, how should it be different than my journal for LR?

Hi everyone,

My name is Alex, and I'm writing to offer my services as a tutor. I’ve worked as a professional educator for more than a decade, both in the classroom and in private instruction. I’ve worked with hundreds of students with diverse learning styles, and have (I'd like to think) developed some expertise in the art of teaching.

Over the years I've learned a critical (and humbling) lesson: the brilliance and subject-matter expertise of the teacher is irrelevant if they're misaligned with the learning needs and learning style of the student. This forum and thread is crawling with talented tutors who are likely a perfect fit for many of you. I'd like to provide you with some specific information about who I am as a teacher, my philosophy and approach, etc. in order to help you make an informed decision before you spend your hard-earned money.

Here is my approach (in a nutshell):

My overall goal is to make the test feel much simpler (but don't expect simple). This exam is inevitably hard, and there are questions that require a lot of brainpower. There are also, however, many easy questions masquerading as "hard" through complex language, disorienting syntax, trap answer choices, and other LSAC trickery. As a point of emphasis, I teach students to cut through the noise and distill each individual question type into its simplest form. The time this will save you (not to mention the energy) is invaluable when it comes to improvement.

Within the scope of this larger, overarching aim we will of course focus on the unique set of needs each student has (timing, specific question types, comprehension strategies, little "tricks of the trade", etc.). But the simplification is my central goal and thesis.

I myself earned a 176 primarily through focused self-study. I began with a 152 diagnostic. I know firsthand that this test is learnable, and I'd like to think that my improvement speaks to the efficacy of my approach. If you feel that I might be a fit for you, feel free to reach out here in the comments or via direct message. Over the past few months, I’ve been fully booked with students preparing for the April LSAT. With many of them "graduating" in a few weeks, I have a few spots opening up! (around 3 or 4) I’m looking to fill them with students who want consistent, serious preparation. I take this very seriously, and I wish to work with students who can offer a similar level of commitment.

My rates are below

Meeting once per week: $100/one-hour session, $145 for 90-minute session, or $180 for a two-hour session ($90 per hour).

Meeting twice per week: $170 for two one-hour sessions ($85 per hour), $245 for two 90-minute sessions (~$82.5 per hour, $122.50 per session), and $320 for two two-hour sessions ($80 per hour, $160 per session)

Hi everyone! Does anyone have availability for an extra client? My goal score is 155-160, and my last PT was 150. I have been studying for a while... I am just not sure what I am not understanding. I am open to scheduling a meeting to discuss further (pricing, schedule, etc).

I would be grateful for any help.

Hello all, I've been studying for the LSAT for a couple of months now and I'm finding myself stuck at that nefarious -2 to -4 mark on both LR and RC, but I can't seem to consistently perform better than that. My primary issue is that I struggle to effectively return to questions and assess them tabula rasa.

When I re-read a stimulus & answer options, I find myself going down the exact same mental pathways I did originally and rarely changing my answer. I only catch about 20% of my errors this way, and I know I could do better than this. It's not a matter of time spent on questions either, I tend to have about 9-12 minutes extra per section. Nor is it a matter of not enough time spent on specific questions, if I'm unsure of a question I will spend 2-4 minutes on it before answering, and these are consistently the ones I get wrong (My time per question is super bimodal).

For those who have dealt with similar challenges in their LSAT journey, what are some tips/tricks/techniques that you found most helpful for effective in-section review?

Hi all,

I’ve been studying since last August, and have taken the official LSAT twice (Nov and Feb). I’m trying to get started again and hoping to be ready for the June exam… but I’m having such a difficult time finding the motivation to study. I can get myself to do a few questions at a time, but I just don’t really have the energy to push myself for hours on end anymore. I’m defeated, and frustrated, and tired!!!

Any tips on how to study under these circumstances? Or how to get out of this rut?

In this episode, @AlexJacobs and @BaileyLuber tackle a question from theBigFatPanda: what actually separates a low 170 scorer from someone consistently hitting 175+?

Spoiler: it’s not luck.

We dig into what really moves the needle at the highest levels—especially the shift from broad understanding to hyper-specific pattern recognition. From spotting recurring argument structures to identifying your personal wrong-answer traps, this is where elite scorers separate themselves. If you’re already scoring high and want those last few points, this episode is your roadmap.

What we cover:

• Why “test day luck” isn’t the answer

• The role of pattern recognition at the 170+ level

• How top scorers anticipate LSAT tricks before they happen

• Why reviewing questions you got right might matter most

• How to identify and eliminate your own recurring mistakes

Bottom line: The difference isn’t talent—it’s training your brain to see what others miss.

Hello! I live in the Houston area and am aiming for the August LSAT 170's range. UT Law is my dream school and looking for a group of people to help with accountability but more importantly different point of views on the questions. I do have accommodations, but all are welcome! Looking for some laughs as well. I work a 9-5 so studying can be dull, need a little joy to add to this journey.

Does anyone have advice on how to get more comfortable with getting questions wrong while studying?

I know mistakes are part of the process, but I still find myself getting really frustrated or discouraged whenever I miss questions. Maybe it's because I'm a perfectionist, but it derails my focus and makes it difficult to keep moving forward.

How do you mentally reframe wrong answers so you don’t spiral? And how do you balance holding yourself accountable without being overly harsh on yourself during prep?

Any mindset shifts or study strategies that helped you build resilience would be really appreciated.

I am traveling next week with long plane rides to and from my destination, so I was wondering if anyone had any study tips to maintain my LSAT studying during the plane rides (even though I won't have wifi). I am taking the April test, so I want to keep up with my studying.

First off, thank you so much for creating this program.

I was wondering if you guys still take a look at 7Sage users' analytics? If so, could you please please look at mine? I would love to receive some advice from both of you. Just for some background, my highest official LSAT is a 157 (and that was before I started 7Sage. before that, I only studied with loophole).

I am signed up for the exam in April, but am considering moving it to June because I am not where I want to be at the moment.

Thank you very much!

Hey y'all, I am scheduled to take the LSAT next month, and I am not feeling great about my scores. I know we won't get our scores back until after the June deadline, so I am trying to figure out if I should just go ahead and register for it. I have the fee waiver, so I only get the 2 free exams, so I just want to make sure I am using my time wisely.

Does anyone have any suggestions or the same concerns? LMK!!

I am looking to refine my understanding of WSE (weaken, strengthen, evaluate) questions. I have noticed that, in the explanation for these questions, 7sage often assigns certain tags (alternate explanation, directionally wrong, etc) to both correct and incorrect answer choices. Is there a resource on 7sage where I can learn more about these WSE tags?

Hey all! Quick question. Just got through Foundations, about to start up LR in the Lesson Library. I noticed "Fast Track" at the end; has anyone gone through all LR lessons, got to fast track and finished it, and felt like you could've sufficed with just doing the fast track lessons? Or it's better to go through every lesson and THEN do every fast track lesson? I am aiming for that second option to get in as much knowledge as possible, but I was just wondering what it looked like from a different perspective of a fellow student. Lmk what you guys have done/plan on doing/recommend, thanks :)

Hello!

I have a couple of questions and need help figuring out if anyone has advice please share.

First- i'm struggling really badly with Necessary vs Sufficient - I believe my sufficient I'm starting to get better at it but still iffy. But necessary I can't seem to get, I've even put it in a real life situation and still nothing.

Second - I use my tutor notes and drill on 7sage . But they have different wording for RC passages. For example like my tutor has normative passages, descriptive passages, and comparative. But 7sage has something completely different and while drilling I can’t figure out which is which. If you can explain or know which passages is which. Please let me know!!

Third - my tutor question type is built the principle which he has in brackets (justify the argument) I'm trying to drill this but I'm not sure what question type built the principle is, I've done principle under drill and it doesn't seem like that's it and seems like a different one, does anyone know.

And lastly oof - tips on Inference questions, I've tried everything adding therefore, building a puzzle nothing.... just not sure they all seem right!! ahh

If you have any tips please let me know!!!

Is it possible to run out of questions? I know I can always go through them again, but I still have 7-8 months of studying. As of now I have gone through 1800 questions.

Will I run out to PT's and sections to drill?

I know that an LSAT score is good for 5 years before it expires, but is there a judgement from admissions officers based on how long its been since you took it? I ask because I'm studying for the LSAT now but not sure I want to go to law school directly after finishing my undergraduate degree. I want to study for it now in conjunction with my other school work, take it, get a good score (hopefully), and keep it for when I feel sure that law school is the right next step. My concern is that a 4 or 5 year old score would carry a connotation and potentially harm my law school application.

Is a 170 just that, whether it was taken 4 months or 4 years ago?
