Hey all, we're partnering with a cool new startup called Juno to try to make Law School more affordable. See below for a message from them.
----
If you’re planning to attend law school this fall and think you may need student loans, it may be worth joining the Juno Law School Loan Negotiation Group before May 1st.
Juno is a free platform that organizes students into large groups and negotiates with private lenders to secure lower interest rates. The idea is simple: when thousands of students come together, lenders compete to offer better terms.
Over the past 8 years, more than $1B in student loans have been negotiated through Juno, and thousands of graduate students, including law students, have used the platform to access discounted rates.
A few things to know:
Joining is free and takes about a minute to complete
There’s no obligation to take a loan
Rates are negotiated after the group closes, and members can compare offers before deciding
If Juno doesn’t beat the best rate you find elsewhere, they offer a Rate Match Program
Even if you’re still deciding how you’ll fund law school (federal loans, private loans, scholarships, etc.), joining the group simply gives you access to the negotiated rates once they’re finalized.
Join by May 1st to help negotiate the best rates possible!
If you want to learn more or join the group, use this link:
Juno also has some great financial education resources for law students at https://joinjuno.com/resources/law including my favorite, the JD Budget and Loan Planner.
If anyone has questions about how law school loans work or how the negotiation process works, feel free to ask below.
I’ve been consistently scoring around 173 on fully timed LSAT PTs, and I’m taking the exam in April. My goal is to reach the mid-to-high 170s.
On BR, after reviewing all my missed/flagged questions, I often get up to around 178. So now I’m wondering: is missing 1-3 questions per section under timed conditions basically inevitable for me at this point, or is this a bottleneck I can still break before the test?
In terms of my circumstances, I often do have time after LR to double-check my work, usually around 5 minutes or so. But I still miss a good percentage of those wrong answers because I didn’t flag them. Basically, I choose the wrong answer without realizing it’s wrong, so I don’t go back to it. For the questions I do flag, I’ve actually been getting them right.
This has been happening pretty consistently for the last two weeks, and I’m worried I’ve plateaued. For people who’ve made the jump from the low 170s to the mid/high 170s, what actually helped? How do you get a perfect score on a section without it feeling like a coin toss?

Today's episode: A student returns to LSAT prep after taking a few months off and suddenly finds even small drills overwhelming. Full practice tests feel intimidating, and when they try to take one, they rush through just to finish.
Bailey and Alex talk about how to rebuild LSAT endurance after a hiatus. They explain why this feeling is common, how to ramp back up from short drills to full sections, and why weekly practice tests are still essential if you want your best score.
If you're struggling to restart your LSAT routine, this episode walks through a simple way to rebuild discipline, stamina, and confidence.

Hey folks, I typically PT in the high 160s or low 170s when timed, and I don't intend to ever try a practice test untimed because I feel like there just aren't enough tests for that.
However, I was wondering if it would be effective to start doing more untimed work, I've been doing it and have been finding it helpful to recognize patterns (like thinking to myself: okay this is a strength, it makes a causal claim, we're likely looking for an answer choice about some assumption the causal claim makes). I've actually found that thought process pretty helpful for both timing and accuracy.
Specifically, I was wondering if this is generally recommended, specifically for when you are trying to break into the top scores.
My current routine is:
1) Read an Economist article about a topic I don't particularly care for to warm up
2) Do an automatic untimed 4-passage drill or an untimed 25-question drill
3) Blind/Review + Wrong Answer Journal Analysis
Does anyone have any thoughts on whether this is a decent routine?
If it helps, I often will go to like 37-38 minutes on these two drills when untimed, meaning I don't really use much of the extra unlimited time, though getting to 35 minutes without rushing on reading in particular has been really tough for me.
I think it would be great if there were a dedicated tab that only had incorrect answers, whether or not you included notes on it. Would be super helpful for limiting the amount of programs I sift through while reviewing.
I did all of the LR sections that were "fresh" what should I do now? I only have 6 fresh prep tests left too.
Is there any phone number or customer service email for 7sage? I emailed them over a month ago when I cancelled by subscription, but still got charged and was seeking a refund.
I emailed "the supposedly" customer service email, which is studentservices@7sagestudentservices.com
but have not heard back in over a month..
If a support representative or someone who'd be able to help me, please check the email from sofiam1*********. It'd be greatly supported!
Thank you.
For anyone who struggles with LR, I highly recommend drilling Parallel and Parallel Flaw Q's and truly gaining a deep understanding of the strategy, approach and argument structures. As soon as I was able to understand how to break down an argument to that level and be able to find a comparable one in the answer choices, something clicked- other question types naturally came easier because I could more clearly and quickly understand the structure.
Hello,
Are there any 2026 updates for this? As someone who has an accommodation for a paper test, I believe it would be very useful to those test-takers as well. Is there a feature 7Sage could implement to address these concerns and assist us with the ability to more study efficiently.
TIA
I have been studying for months, i finally decided to take a month or so off and continue harder in the summer so i can focus on undergrad studies, and I haven't touched the LSAT in two weeks and I've been at peace. I decided today to maybe do a few drills.... My stress, frustration, irritation, self hatred, imposter syndrome, the feeling of just impending doom and dread all came back to me. I have to keep reminding myself without the LSAT I wont get into law school, wont get any scholarships, I NEED to do well on the LSAT. I also have to remind myself that I am still only 19, I graduate next spring at 20 and i apply to law school this fall, and hopefully ill be starting law school at 21. Idk like the LSAT test, the whole process is one of the hardest things I've ever experienced and I was feeling good, and the second I looked at this damn test again it all crumbled.
We just released a page that shows you which law schools schools are releasing decisions in real time!
If you're not already tracking your applications on 7Sage, you should! It's a great way to see where you are in the process compared to everyone else:
Hey hey! I'm based in South OC (San Clemente area) and would love someone to chat with about all this stuff... I graduated college a couple years ago and am a freelance photographer, so I spend most of my day prepping and then taking brain breaks to then prep more. Send me a message if you're in the area and wanna connect!
How fresh does a practice test need to be to still count as valid? For example, is it worthwhile to take a timed PT if the test is 97% fresh? What about if it’s only 87% fresh?
Our LSAT tutors help students gain an average of 1 point per session. But instead of working with them for $220/hour, you can do it for free.
7Sage College Prep helps high schoolers all over the world apply to American colleges and universities. If you refer a sibling, cousin, or anyone else who ends up purchasing at least $500 worth of college admissions services, you’ll get five hours with an LSAT tutor, completely free of charge (a $1099 value).
(They can also schedule a free consultation here or write to collegeprep@7Sage.com,)
If I get a question wrong, then answer it correctly later (not BR) will it count as correct in analytics?
I was wondering if there could be a feature that would allow for us to directly search for a question in any prep test? I am using multiple tools and I like that 7Sage has the explanations/analysis for each question, but I am having trouble finding the question here if it’s not something I directly worked on here. Maybe it’s already a feature and I just haven’t found it, if so please let me know how to :) Thank you!
Has anyone applied for Albany Law and got accepted?
Hi, I would love a feature that lets me drill only questions with Kevin Lin video explanations. That would be very helpful.
Thank you
Hey everyone! I'm hoping to get some advice from those of you who have been through something similar.
I took the January LSAT and scored a 160, but my goal is to get as close to 175 as possible on the April exam. My practice scores have been pretty encouraging overall — my highest PT is a 167 with a blind review score of 175. My general study routine consists of one full PT and about 3–4 individual timed sections per week.
Here's where I'm running into trouble: I was consistently going -2 to -3 per LR section, which felt really solid, but recently my performance has dropped noticeably and I've been getting -5 or -6 per section. The timing of this regression lines up pretty clearly with the fact that I was sick and had to take about a two-week break from studying. Since coming back, I just haven't been able to get back to where I was, and it's starting to affect my confidence going into April.
Any advice, study plans, or resources you'd recommend to help me get back on track (and closer to a 175 on PTs) would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
I have worked a lot of jobs throughout HS to now, some of which are actually (somewhat) impressive, while others (usually from early HS) are like summer camp counselor, etc. My question is whether I should include every legitimate job I've worked or just those more interesting ones on my resume. I'd prefer the latter, but unsure as to what the standard is. Let me know what you all think, please. Thanks.
Hi Guys!
I've had some students ask me if there's a way to hide the score prediction that pops up after each question. Seems like it may be causing more anxiety than helping in some cases, albeit rare cases. Is there a setting that allows students to hide or turn that feature off?
Thank you for such an awesome platform!

On my most recent practice test I got a 168, and I did really well on my LR sections -0 and -4, but I haven't made any improvement on RC in the 4 months I've been studying at all and I still get -6 or -7 on every RC section. I've tried a bunch of different methods and nothing seems to help my score. Does anyone have any tips on how to score better on RC?
I've already made this request, but I'm posting again in hopes it might be implemented soon.
When blind-reviewing, what I've highlighted disappears from the passage. I'm not able to guage what I had thought was important in my first read. It would be very, very helpful to be able to see what I highlighted during my first pass!
I’m gonna be vulnerable here, I am SO stressed. I’ve noticed it playing a huge role in my scores, my physical and mental wellbeing, and honestly every part of my life. I take breaks, full rest days, I workout consistently, I see friends everyday, and really thought I was balancing my study time with my regular college life. Unfortunately I just don’t think I am mentally detaching from the exam when I’m not studying. Any tips on stress management? About a month out and need to start prioritizing myself to score well.
I noticed that most of my wrong LR is from parallel reasoning questions. I think overall my brain gets overwhelmed by the material in not only the original question, but also the answer choices. I've tried to pick them apart as to not get overwhelmed, but overall its just confusing for me. Any tips?
