Just wanna share a little hack and see if anyone else is also doing this or maybe it's just me.

I've been super busy and don't have much time practicing lately, but I still want to desensitize my brain with LSAT, so I put on JY's RC passage explanations as podcasts/audiobook and just listen to it when i'm walking or driving lol. And sometimes I even get carried away and super invested in the stories. It's kinda fun actually! I listen to it before bed too, puts me to sleep super fast, melatonin substitution. And I just did a section today, strangely I did better than I thought given that I didn't do any PTs lately. Anyone else?

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

It's now time for everyone to describe their routines and study methods... that got them their scores for this lsat.

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.

Looking for an accountability partner to do 1 RC passage daily. We’ll do it separately and then check answers together. Please message me if you’re seriously interested!

I have been doing really well on the first 60-65 questions of my practice tests, getting very few wrong, but it is in the last dozen or so questions on the final LR section of the tests where I am getting a majority of my questions wrong. I am aware that the test gradually gets harder throughout the section, but I am unsure why I am struggling so much with this part because I get most of the harder ones right when I drill. Should I be practicing harder drills? If anyone has advice on this problem, let me know.

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!

Any 170+ takers in Chi grinding the 170-175 curve before the August exam in Chicago?

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!

Is anyone looking for accountability partners/creating a study group? I am planning to take the October and November LSAT and would love to network/work with others to prepare

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

Hey 7Sagers,

I'm happy to announce that we will be offering a new round of LSAT classes this April and May! In addition to the in-person courses we've been running, we will now also be offering virtual courses and weekend workshops.

Each class is led by a top-scoring 7Sage instructor and offers a chance to build community with fellow aspiring lawyers. All of our 12-week courses come with a free three months of 7Sage Core + Live so that you can take advantage of all our digital resources alongside the class's custom program.

The virtual classes are a new option for 7Sagers outside our in-person cities or who prefer a virtual environment. They also include the three-month subscription and follow the same curriculum as their in-person counterparts.

Is your test date fast approaching and one particular section is still holding you back? Give one of our short weekend workshops a try! These two-day classes are section-specific and designed to help breakthrough a plateau on a short timeline.

Learn more about our Spring courses here!

I usually do all Cs but recently tried all Ds & I feel like D was less common. Does anyone have a certain one they always do and why?

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!

I know it is hard, and you feel defeated. However, you got this!

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.

Just looking for study buddies in sacramento area?

Pretty much what the title says. My main issue is with LR. I used to be able to score 18/25. Then I hit a couple highs of 20/25 and was very, very happy. A week before, I started getting 16/15/14 out of 25, a pretty big dip. Took the Sept test, then about a week break. Did a section drill yesterday, got a 13/25. Is my brain broken? Was it too much to hope for a linear increase? For reference, I work full time, so MTWRF I study 4 hours daily: I wake up an hour before work to study, the hour of my lunch break, and 2 hours when I get home. The weekends are about 8-10 hour days for me. Is it too much to hope for a 160 by Oct?

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.

I'm looking for a new study partner for the November/January test. I study daily and have a flexible schedule. I'm in the PST time zone. Message me if interested.

I never took science past grade 10, and know nothing lol. Do people with 0 science knowledge have any tips on how to better understand them?

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!

Hi everyone,

I'm Kanav, from India and I am looking to take the LSAT sometime in October or November.

I scored a 143 in my first diagnostic in April and scored a 161 today. I am aiming for a 170+ but would love to connect with more people and form a study group. We can probably do it on WhatsApp as its convenient and allows for a larger number of participants from anywhere!

Here is the link to the group: https://chat.whatsapp.com/KUIOxVroIXfINnTF9KhiU3
