Hi! I’m active duty Air Force separating in April 2027 to go to law school. Is anyone else here in the same or a similar situation? I’d love to connect and hear what your process has been like!

A student aiming for a 165 by June is stuck in the mid-140s with inconsistent performance, fluctuating drill results, and no clear progress. Sound familiar?

In this episode, @AlexJacobs and @BaileyLuber break down what’s really going wrong and how to fix it. They cover:

• Why skipping or rushing the core curriculum can stall your progress • How to structure your studying for actual score gains

• The right balance of drills, sections, and full practice tests

• When to focus on specific question types (and how to choose them)

• What consistent blind review scores actually tell you

Hi all! If anyone feels like sharing their study schedules/tips, it would be greatly appreciated- for myself, as well as others, I am sure. I am currently working through my 7Sage study plan daily and then drilling/doing timed sections and reviewing. I have been putting off consistently PTing because I feel like I should make it fully through foundations first. What are your thoughts on this? Open to any opinions and feedback!!

LSAT

7Sage admissions is launching a new service, the Application Autopsy. Here's what it includes:

• Three of our admissions experts will blind-review your file under real life conditions. You'll get each of their assessments, plus a summary by the committee chair. : What did you do well? What was lacking?

• We'll tell you if, and how, we think you could do better with an R&R. Were you telling the right story? Was there a red flag you weren't aware of?

Here's what the overview page looks like:

An example of one of the three ballots:

In addition to the rating, three ballots, and summary, you'll also get a 45-minute follow-up meeting with one of our consultants to discuss improvements you can make next year. Sign up today with this link:

Can someone please help me. I’ve been studying for 3-4 months and haven’t seen any improvement in my scores or progress. I’m about to give up and just eat the $250 I spent on registering for the test. I feel hopeless.

Hi all,

I was just doing some prep for my essays for this fall when I discovered the “Has your college, university, graduate, or professional school course of study been interrupted for one or more terms for any reason?” question on most apps. My sophomore year of college I withdrew half way through fall semester and went home due to severe depression. I did not return to college until the following fall. Is this going to hurt me? I don’t want schools thinking I’ll drop out… It’s completely out of my control, but I wanted to ask. Thank you!

I put on suspenseful music while I study to help simulate how stressed I'll be during the test. Does anyone else do this? This is the playlist I use btw: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7Cem0ca83Kqw08PagIuao3?si=d8d52ca0aac34682

I know law school acceptance predictors cannot be taken too seriously but for the sake of seeing ballpark chances I’ve been looking into them. The main ones I know of are LSD and 7sage’s own predictor. But when I put in my stats into both platforms I get wildly different chances (7sage has my chances MUCH higher than LSD does). What would be the more accurate platform? Does anyone know of another, better platform?

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?

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'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.

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.

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.
