Is it just me or does anyone else get lost in the core curriculum. I watch and listen to these explanation and get so lost and confused. Some of them make absolutely no sense to me and I get even more confused than I already was. I’m about ready to just give up and eat the $250 I spent on taking the test. It’s been 4 months of studying and I see no improvement in my score or progress and just feel hopeless.

I am planning on applying straight from undergrad this fall. For people who went straight from undergrad to law school, what did you focus on most in your application besides GPA and LSAT? My GPA isn’t the strongest partly because my school has pretty tough grading and not much grade inflation. I also haven’t had any legal jobs, but I do have a lot of other professional experience. Do things like internships, leadership, or other work experience make a difference? I am conflicted because when I look for support a lot of people say its difficult which IK but is it impossible?

I'm studying for the June LSAT and would love to meet people who are looking to cheer each other on, since sometimes the study process for this test makes one question the validity of their reasoning. I'm specifically hoping to get better LR scores, and anyone who also has ADHD would be welcome, too! I'm willing to meet in OC or online, so let me know if you're interested!

Scoring well on Logical Reasoning but stuck at the same score on Reading Comprehension? You’re not alone. In this LSAT Shortcut, Alex and Bailey respond to a student who’s hitting 168 practice tests with strong LR performance but hasn’t improved on RC after four months of studying.

They break down why RC progress often takes longer, what it actually means to “retrain your brain” to read LSAT passages, and how focusing on author viewpoints, competing perspectives, and passage structure can help you find the evidence behind every answer choice. They also discuss how to practice RC more effectively, when to slow down your reading, and why consistent daily exposure to passages can make a big difference over time.

Taking the April exam and I unfortunately continue to make careless mistakes on this exam. Whether it be misreading, missing a word in the stimulus, or some other small mistake. This is one of my biggest issues I'm working on now. I think it would be great if 7sage had a practice option that would just focus on/isolate the stimulus making sure the student understands the stimulus, i.e. premise(s), conclusion, argument, flaw, is able to translate/summarize. I'm not too lazy to isolate stimuli myself, but this would be more convenient and I think it would help students at all levels/ranges of studying. Cheers 7sage team.

I have been studying for several months and am stuck in the 150-153 range when taking PT's. Does anyone have recommendations for study strategies? I am specifically struggling with Conditional Reasoning, Link Assumption, and Flaw/Descriptive Weakening areas. However, my current strategy does not seem to be helping enough.

i need help! i have a problem where sometimes i get so nervous or dont know what to focus on to the point where i literally cant understanding what im reading. i read but it makes no sense. it is costing me time and points. i just lose focus and it's so bad does anyone have any tips?

Looking for people that are willing to make a group chat so that we can hold ourselves accountable to studying EVERYDAY (with exceptions if needed).

We can find a system to remind and make sure make sure that we're completing our practices/studying everyday. We can use it to help and cheer each other on in this long and tedious process!

My exam date is for August but happy to work with anyone and everyone :)

We can be each other's accountability buddies!

Hi everyone, any tips on how to get faster taking the LSAT? I am a naturally slow reader so i don't get to finish a section before the timer is up. I finished the core curriculum last month and I've been practicing since then.

Any tips will be greatly appreciated!

Hi,

I need some advice. Everyone says to drill to help improve, and I do. However, I notice that even if I do drill, I'm still getting questions wrong. Is that normal? Also, is there a specific way to drill effectively?

Hi! I have around 100 wrong questions so far from drills, sections, etc. I went to the analytics, questions, and filtered by LR, incorrect, and the most recent. I have been going all the way to the end and redoing those questions because I honestly forgot some of them by now. I'm redoing them and also taking time to really review what I did wrong the first (and sometimes second) time. BUT, its taking so long. 2 hours of studying and i only get through like 15 questions. Im taking the June LSAT, should I be spending my time this way or more on taking full sections/drilling? (also time is not a huge priority for me)

Also... highly recommend if you hate reviewing wrong questions like right after this has helped so much.

Is there a set numbers of questions that you're supposed to do for a drill? I usually do a bunch of 5-10 question drills but I've seen people say you should be doing 25 for each drill.

I made a post abt wrong answer tags recently but I have a revised wrong answer suggestion: instead of having each of the wrong answers individually tagged for every question, maybe it would be easier to have a sort of embedded form in the notes section where the user can multiple choice select/tag the wrong answer type for the question they got wrong, which then shows up on the analytics dashboard

For example:

Also, I only just realized that there's a wrong answer journal template in Notes (mostly bc I was poking around the section) and it would be really cool and epic if that were more prominently featured/identifiable bc I didn't even know to look for it. And on the topic of WAJ, I'm making a general appeal for more integrated wrong answer journal features; I have my own docs/spreadsheet tracker but would much prefer to have everything nested and organized within the 7sage platform bc that would be even more cool and epic.

Does anyone have any tips for Strengthen/Weaken questions on Phenomenon Hypothesis passages? I do not struggle with the concept of strengthening or weakening on most questions, but I seemed to get tripped up on harder WSE questions in a phenomenon hypothesis passage.

Hello,

Is anyone studying for LSAT and would like to study together? We can do drills together and go over our thought process!

Anticipated LSAT date: August

When clicking discussion or next in the CC it brings up the question again instead of the discussion or going to the next page.

I started studying in September 2025 and am taking the LSAT for the first time in April. However, this past month my scores have not been improving and are also sometimes going down. I don't know if this is due to burnout or what, but I need tips on how to fix my studying strategy for the last few weeks before I take the LSAT.

thank you!!

Parallel reasoning questions can feel overwhelming, even for strong LSAT students. In this episode of the 7Sage LSAT Shortcut, @AlexJacobs and @BaileyLuber explain why these questions often become a major time sink and what to do about it.

Their first piece of advice is simple. Skip them. If parallel reasoning or parallel flaw questions slow you down, save them for the end of the section so you can spend your time on questions you are more likely to get right.

They also break down what to do once you are ready to tackle them. Learn when to diagram conditional reasoning, how to translate arguments into simpler structures like If A then B then C, and how to eliminate answer choices quickly by tracing conclusions and matching logical form.

Finally, they zoom out to a bigger LSAT lesson. Your study strategy should evolve with your score. The techniques that help at 150 are not the same ones that matter at 170, and focusing on the right skills at the right time is key to improving efficiently.

Sometimes when I move to real review, I want to re-check BR recommended questions for any variety of reasons, usually because for any of the reasons BR is suggested (taking too long, changing answers, etc), I probably had a looser hold on the strategy or concept at hand.

I would love to be able to toggle "suggested BR" demarcators in review so that I could spend a little extra time re-upping my knowledge or strategy of questions that I was slower or less sure on, even if I got them right.

Hello! I am getting the message "internal server error" when I click on lessons in my study plan or try to submit a "you try." Is there a fix for this?

First of all want to say I am a big fan of 7sage and what it did for me! I do have one suggestion, and I'm not sure if it's already possible.

I was wondering whether the option of not seeing why the question was recommended for Blind Review would be advantageous. I sometimes subconsciously dismiss a blind review question when I see that I got it right, which I know I should not do. That being said, I feel like the option to omit why it was wrong until after submission would be great!

Thanks again!

Hello everyone,

I am studying for the June/August LSAT and I would love to meet people in the Boston area who would like to study together in the evenings/early mornings, or just hold each other accountable. I work full time so it has been hard to be fully disciplined when studying, so if you relate, feel free to comment below or message me. I would love to connect! :)

My difficulty setting is now 4-5. I keep getting stuck between two answers (usually the most popular answers) and keep choosing the wrong one. What is going onnnnnnn?!!!!! Anyone struggling with this right now? What does it mean and how can I work on fixing it? It’s very discouraging and incredibly frustrating

Hi all. My name is Matthew. I graduated college in '22 and currently am studying for the LSAT for Feb 2026. I am writing to see if anyone wants to be apart of a study group. I was planning on making a WhatsApp group. I am based in Logan Circle. Let me know if anyone is interested!
