Ok..I feel there is just no way I could have got this question. It is a most strengthen question and I feel the answer choice weakens the argument. The job is to sure up the fact that a volcanic event is the probable cause rather than meteorites. The part of B that says 'no known natural cause would likely account ...' I was thinking isn't meteorite as well as volcanoes natural causes so I immediately eliminated it. What do you guys think about this question?

Pure sequencing game. Rule was something like W is before S OR S if before T BUT NOT BOTH... I was drawing a blank for a while. Doesn't that mean, in a nutshell, S will never be b/w W & T either before both or after both? Also, how do you draw that into your grand scheme efficiently? This game should have taken 6m, but drained 12 due to me not handling those 2 "or/not both" rules well.

First sentence I diagrammed as: wind & below 84-> pleasant. The second part of this question I diagrammed as : above 84 or no wind ->oppressive. I incorrectly got answer choice (B) it has something to do the the humidity but I was able to add it to my diagramming. Help please.

I do not understand the difference between answer choice C and D. How do you suggest that I decipher between two choices that are so close. I tried to incorporate them into the passage and incorrectly thought that D was a winner.

This question is very difficult because I just cannnot understand the stimulus. Could I please get an explanation of this question stem and answer choices?

is there a difference between the old lsat preptests and the new preptests. I took my lsat in february (did quite good) and i mainly studied from preptests 1-38. i'm just curious as to what difference there is for the newer lsat 39-60. is there a difference in the logical reasoning?

Hi, I come across this problem in argument part questions: is a hypothesis the same thing as a statement?

I usually eliminate the wrong answer choices by matching them up to the stimulus (Ex. I eliminate the answer choice starts with "it is a premise " because I id'ed the statement as a conclusion). But some argument part questions describes statements differently (A) "This is a statement" or B) "this is a hypothesis for which the author supports." Should we eliminate answer choices that call it a hypothesis when it is a statement? Is there even a difference.

Ex: Is a "Fetuses develop fingernails in the third week of development" a statement?

Is " Scientists say fetuses develop fingernails in the third week" a hypothesis?

Hi Alan,

I noticed that for every PT, you have to fill out the answer sheet no matter what in order to get to the explanation video.

I've already taken a few PT's before the LSAT score sheet was implemented and for some of those PT's I don't have my answer anymore (all i have is my PT with writing and scibbles on it which I just use to refer too). I've used my own spreadsheet prior to the implemented lsat score sheet.

If possible, would it be possible for video explanations to have its own little dropbox with a heading like "Video Explanation for Preptest X" in each PT webpage that you can open and close like in the "Progress" page for each PT without having to resort to filling out the answer sheet? (e.g., if you click the title of a group of question types like "Method of Reasoning", it collapses the lessons and uncollapse them clicked on the title again".

What i've been doing when reviewing older PT's that I took awhile ago, I would bubble in one random answer choice, then click "Score" and then scroll and look for the question that I would need a video explanation for.

I've noticed that in some LR questions, there would be sentences that start off like "Even though","although". These sentences are qualifying the the argument a bit more correct? I remember in one particular video something about this, I think it was acknowledging something so as to prevent the reader from using it against the argument or something like that...

What are your opinions on this?

Hello there. Question on point of issue questions - which is better? doing the list method or reading through and determining the disagreement/agreement?

Fumbling between methods made me lose time on my recent PTs. I either start list method and then find the POI is easy to see and lose time or try reading and have to do list method because POI is not too clear cut.

Advice appreciated. Thanks 7sagers!

Hey Juners, if you have questions or comments relating to the June LSAT, please post them here!

Hey study buddies, post your thoughts about your meetings here! Suggestions welcome!

Here's the general idea guys. You're all studying for this horrendously difficult test. Better to do it with someone else than alone. How? Blind Review your LSAT Prep Tests or Problem Sets with someone else (in person or over Google Hangouts). Try to find someone 1) on your schedule and 2) at your level.

Edit: We now have a Study Buddies app on the dashboard! Check it out here:

I took the LSAT earlier this year and scored in the low-170s. Concerned about the September LSAT due to how I felt on the test and a variety of personal factors. Should I purchase score preview so I can cancel?

7Sage:

Some recent additions to 7Sage are great, like the games and AI. But I would love to know why you felt the need to change the interface. The previous interface was a lot more straight forward. Now I spend several minutes trying to figure out which combination of the following buttons I need to have to cross out an answer or highlight it yellow. This was not necessary. Please don't change things just for the sake of changing things.

I honestly wouldn't recommend this course, I began with an 145, I am about to take a prep test and I know for a fact that the instructors have confused me more than help me, just tell me why and which answer is correct not make me think why the other answers might be correct is annoying, I hightly regret taking this course

Hey everyone! I'm Roman, a current Penn Carey Law student, and I'm taking on a few more LSAT tutoring students at $90/hour. (some availability opened up). I've been tutoring for over 1.5 years now and have helped over 60 people get their goal outcomes in this process : )

One thing I've noticed from tutoring over the past year and a half is that a lot of LSAT improvement comes down to understanding why you're making mistakes rather than simply doing more practice tests. It's pretty common to understand an explanation after getting a question wrong but then make that exact same mistake a few days later.

My approach to tutoring is to help students develop a more systematic way of approaching questions, recognizing recurring traps, and understanding the reasoning behind correct and incorrect answers. I scored a 178 on the LSAT, but having worked with students at a wide range of scoring levels, I know that what someone needs to improve from a 150 to a 160 can be very different from what they need to go from a 165 to a 170+.

Sessions are individualized depending on where you are in your preparation. We can work on Logical Reasoning, Reading Comprehension, timing, reviewing practice tests, or figuring out how to structure your studying between sessions.

I'm also a 7Sage Independent Tutor, and I'm happy to work with students regardless of which LSAT prep resources they're currently using.

If you're interested, feel free to DM me! I'm happy to offer a free 15-minute consultation to talk about your goals and whether tutoring would be helpful for you.

I'm still kinda on the sidelines about the enitre "going to law school" thing, and I just took my first full PrepTest with no practice/knowledge about the LSAT. I got a score of 163, and I was wondering if it would be worth for me to spend my time and energy on studying for the LSAT... I don't really want to take the exam multiple times, and I would preferably take the June 2026 exam.

Would it be unreasonable for me to shoot for a mid-170s for the June 2026 exam based on what I have right now?

About me...

I went through most of college not knowing I had ADHD, so I spent years thinking I just wasn't trying hard enough when really I just learned differently than how my schools taught. This helped me realize that most people don't need to work harder — they need to figure out what's actually holding them back. This is the core of how I coach: no one-size-fits-all prep, everything tailored to how you specifically think through problems.

By figuring out my own way to learn the LSAT I went from a 151 to a 177. The increase wasn't talent or one breakthrough — it was months of grinding until I finally learned how to learn the LSAT. Once I figured that out, progress came fast and studying actually became fun. That process, and the three years and 1,000+ hours of coaching since, taught me what it takes to improve and how to help people get there faster than I did.

What I do:

• Review your 7Sage analytics before every session so I already know where your biggest point gains are

• Build custom drill sets for your specific weaknesses with difficulty levels, set sizes, and clear benchmarks

• Send a detailed study plan after every session with everything you need for the week

• Teach you how to diagnose your own mistakes so the hours you study on your own are actually effective

• Work through problems with you live to catch the mental habits that are actually costing you points

Good fit for students who:

• Feel like their score doesn't reflect the work they're putting in

• Understand explanations after the fact but keep making similar mistakes

• Want real structure in their study plan, not just "do more practice tests"

• Want help structuring not just what to study, but how — session length, timing, and building a consistent daily routine

Here's what that looks like in practice:

One of my students had been stuck in the mid 150s. Turns out she was 0 for 6 on one specific question pattern and solid on everything else. Two weeks of targeted work and her next practice test was a 167.

Another student came to me after scoring a 165 on the actual LSAT. The habit that got her there — dialing in on small details — had started working against her. She was overcomplicating questions when the right move was to step back. We figured out when to use that mode and when to switch gears. Six weeks later she scored a 175.

Pricing:

• Free consultation call (20–30 minutes) so I can learn where you're at

• First diagnostic session: $150 flat

• Ongoing sessions: $250/hour — sessions run 90 minutes ($375)

• 100% refund guarantee. Finding the right coach matters, and I want you to see how I work before you commit. If after your diagnostic session it's not the right fit, I'll refund you the full amount. No questions asked.

• No packages, no commitments — week by week

Getting started:

I currently have 5 slots available right now. We start with a free consultation call (about 20–30 minutes) so I can learn where you're at and make sure it's the right fit before we begin. I'll respond the fastest if you text or email, but I'll also respond to DMs — it may just take a bit longer.

• Live one-on-one sessions on Logical Reasoning, Reading Comprehension, timing, and Argumentative Writing.

Private tutoring is $150/hr. New students get their first session at $50/hr. Book a free consult at blackletterlsat.com.

I know that 176 is a great score, however before the test in June I had got 3/4 180s on PTs. I am a splitter for the T-14s (3.6 gpa, math major). I graduated back in 2021, so I think I count as non-traditional. I looked on the admissions predictor and a 180 vs a 176 could raise my chances by 10-20% at top schools. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

My accolades are above, but here's a few more: students of mine have gone on to break into the 170's, and have been accepted to Colombia, The University of Chicago, Stanford, and Harvard.

I was where you are now: I had a test to crush and a gulf between my skills and achieving that T-14 goal score. Well, I did what any person would do who didn't know what they were doing; I went searching for advice from people who had already achieved success. I read for hours and hours, the accounts of people who had received perfect and near perfect scores. Their advice had a very few common threads:

-Find a major prep company and completely work through all of their strategy lessons and drills

-Take many sections and tests both in untimed and timed formats

-Blind review all timed tests (taking them again entirely without a timer)

-Carefully dissect all incorrectly answered questions

At the time, the LSAT was still on paper and so explanations for LSAT questions were scarce. This was to my benefit and it can be to yours as well. That means relying on the explanations of 7Sage should only be done after you've exhausted considerable effort trying to dissect the questions yourself, given the correct answer. If 7Sage's explanation doesn't make sense or you are curious to hear a question explained in a different way, well that's what a tutor is for! I'll add just one bit advice to that which I found in my research: learn and understand any vocab word related to argumentation that the LSAT uses, which you are unfamiliar with.

If you'd like a tutor to help you through the rough patches and plateaus, I'm eager to join you where you're at on your LSAT journey. I use an "I do, we do, you do" approach to new materials. I'll model the appropriate techniques, whether that means stem analysis, argument analysis, passage annotation, answer prediction, answer choice selection, or trap answer analysis. From there I'll check to see if you've got the basics and ask you to take the next step at various points. Then it will be your job to walk us through an example. Finally, I'll only observe as you begin a new example and work through it beginning to end, giving my analysis or commentary at the end.

Sessions are typically two hours, once or twice a week depending on availability and the student's timeline. We'll often spend the first third/half of the session reviewing any questions that have been flagged for review by you. From there we'll jump into new materials.

My hourly rate changes based on whether you buy a package of hours or seek to pay session by session. It is as follows:

20 hour package - $70/hr

10 hour package - $80/hr

Session by session - $90h

Admitted to the bar in 2025, I also provide guidance beyond the LSAT, including law school admissions strategy, school selection, and application navigation.

Outside of tutoring and law, I enjoy hiking, biking, skiing, and playing chess. I believe balance is an important part of success, and I encourage students to build sustainable study habits alongside their academic goals.

Hi all! I'm studying for the upcoming November LSAT, and I'm looking to tutor others as a part of my study plan and my interest of tutoring the LSAT in the future. I have an advanced understanding on how to approach RC and LR, but I think that explaining the concepts to someone else would help to solidify the concepts even more. And in the meanwhile, I can also help someone else's understanding of the test. Thing is, I don't have any friends that I know personally who are interested in taking the test in the near future. So I was wondering on how one would get started on doing so.

For reference, I scored a 168 on the August test, with a starting diagnostic of a 152, and have been studying for almost a year.

Thanks!

dont want to spend time to, yet, I cant move on in my study plann easily without such a "comment"
