From 159 to 173.

In this episode, Sam shares exactly how he made that jump and what finally clicked. He talks about:

• How internships in civil litigation and international law clarified his “why”

• Managing ADHD while studying for the LSAT

• Why the LSAT is a skills test, not a memorization test

• The power of spotting patterns in Logical Reasoning and beyond

• How reflecting on mistakes led to real improvement

• Why accountability and studying socially made a difference

If you’re preparing for the LSAT and feel stuck, this episode breaks down the mindset shifts and study strategies that helped Sam level up.

I'll try to keep this brief: I've been studying since January 2025. My diagnostic was a 151 and my score has since risen to a 169 (my highest BR was a 177), but I've been in the 160s for a longggg time (for around 6 months now). I've taken the test twice and am planning to retake for a third (and final) time this June, but I'm really not sure what other practices to implement to help get my score up to the 170s. Feels like I've tried just about everything. I hate to be a debbie downer, but I also want to be realistic. With this much time spent bouncing around in the 160s is it even worth it to hope for consistent 170s scores? Is there a light at the end of the 160s plateau? If anyone has been in a similar situation and was able to score consistently in the 170s, what changed for you?

Hello,

I am trying to decide when to take the LSAT. I am currently in my senior year of college and will be graduating in may. I am going to apply for the fall 2027 law school cycle. I have been studying the 7sage program for about 2 months( almost done with the large foundations portion and about to start the practice) and did the powerscore books before this. I am ok with paying for 2 -3 tests and am wondering when it is best to take the test. I want to prioritize getting the best score I can while submitting early applications to create a competitive application for some t-14 schools. I have heard some say to take as many tests as you can to get the best score and others say it's a waste of money. Wondering if anyone has any strong opinions on the matter. In addition I will be done with my 7sage program at the end of may and wondering if i should transition to some private tutoring. I am aiming for at least a 173. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I graduated in 2023 from a T15 undergrad school, majored in Political Science and Cognitive Sciences, minor in Computer Science. GPA 3.2/4.0. Just did a diagnostic, got a 151. I have worked in government since graduation (district attorney special victims unit, governor's office). I left both jobs without strong mentors/possible recommenders. I could ask but feel nervous about it. What are my chances of a T14 law school if I score a 172+ and had great recommendation letters? Is higher than a 172 recommended? How many months of study and how many hours? I want to aim as high as possible, definitely had some external stuff going on in college including being a victim in a legal case but I don't know how important addendums are perceived by top law schools.

I'm currently studying to take the LSAT in April. I started studying in January, got a diagnostic score of 164 then I completed an expedited version of 7Sage's core curriculum in ~4 weeks during which I didn't do any practice tests or full length sections and just focused on learning the content and format of the test. Now that I've completed that I want to switch wholly into practice mode for the next 7 weeks leading up to my test, but I want advice about what the right number of practice tests vs timed sections per weeks is. This week I've already taken two practices tests and on the first scored a 167 on my run through of the test and with blind review. On the second I scored a 162, but have yet to blind review the test.

I spoke with two friends who have both taken the LSAT, scored well, and I trust and they recommended very different things.

Friend 1: Try taking three practice tests per week at the beginning of this practice phase and gradually decrease to 2 when you are consistently getting the score you want

Friend 2: Start by taking only 1 practice test and then doing timed sections on days that you aren't testing. From there slowly increase to 2 practice tests per week.

Any advice on which approach would work better? I'm hoping to only need to take the test once and really really want a 175+. Feeling incredibly nervous about this because the test feels so close and that score feels far away from my target, so any thoughts would be welcome!

Hi everyone! I have a neuroscience degree from UC Davis where I graduated with a 2.9. I plan to do an addendum because of undiagnosed adhd and test anxiety. I graduate from my MBA program with 3.8 in the spring and plan to apply for law school in the fall. I have worked for 4 years in the biotechnology industry in the quality department. My diagnostic was a 160 and Im aiming for 170 in June. My advisor told me with my background I would be a good fit for IP law. Im based in northern California but wouldn’t mind a change in scenery. Its hard to see which schools are reachable and super reaches due to my low GPA and mixed background. What does everyone else think my safe, reach, and super reaches schools are? I ultimately want to practice law in California.

I find myself struggling with Link Assumption questions. Does anyone have any tips?

I keep zoning out while reading. I don’t know why, but it’s so frustrating. I find myself able to sit down and get normal stuff done (schoolwork, anything that requires focus for long periods of time) but as soon as I start doing PTs or drills I can’t focus. I don’t know what to do. 😢 any advice?

I have noticed that the more I seem to study, the lower my PT score goes. My highest PT currently is a 154, which I simply do not think is good enough. I have been studying for about 5 months, so nothing too crazy. I do think I can get my score up and I am going to keep chipping away at this program, I am sure it is helping. My issue seems to be that I am taking steps back with more studying. Has anyone else had a similar issue? Maybe I am doing something wrong while studying. Hopefully with time this dip will turn into an upward trend, but it is awfully demoralizing. If anyone has a similar experience, please let me know!

Hi there, I was wondering if anyone has a template to keep track of correct/incorrect questions on Excel?

I'm not sure how to describe it, but something that has cells where you can keep track of your reasoning, why it was wrong, why I flagged questions, etc.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank You!

If you are in Fargo, visiting, or nearby, feel free to reply or to chat! I am taking the April exam, and would love to find people to work with. I hit a roadblock in my study and thought I would reach out.

I started studying on Feb 2 in order to take the June 6 LSAT. My diagnostic was a 145 and my goal is a 165+. Should I push my test to August, or will I face a risk of burn out. I am studying ~3 hours a day and following the 7Sage study plan. Any advice would be helpful

I've been studying for a while, but I don't feel like I'm improving. I can't seem to break into the 170s, and am just stuck in the high 160's. Any advice for that extra push?

Hey! When should I drill v do sections? I am around -8 for LR and -12 for RC. Trying to get clarification.

Hi! I plan to take the June 2026 LSAT and would love to have weekly (or 2x /week) study groups in-person, mainly for accountability! I am open to meeting in cafes and libraries - please feel free to comment below and we can figure out time blocks during the week!

Hey guys. I’m in the South Houston area looking for study partners with the LSAT. I’ve been studying, but I feel like if I had partners, I’d be more consistent and motivated. I also learn better while bouncing ideas off of others. If you’re in this area and need a partner, please reach out.

Looking for a person to do web or in person study sessions and rival me on my law journey looking to be on the federal circuit as a judge

I took the LSAT back in 2015 — basically the Stone Age compared to today’s remote, digital format.

At the time, I pivoted and built a career in federal procurement instead of law. It’s been a solid path, but lately I’ve felt pulled back toward pursuing a legal career.

For those who’ve applied recently (or are in law school now): Is it still worth it? Is the market as saturated as people say?

And maybe this is niche — but has anyone transitioned into law after building a stable government career first?

Would love to hear from anyone who’s made a similar leap.

Hi!

This is the first post that I am writing.

I took my first PT yesterday and scored a 140. I have been studying for the LSAT for the past 4 months and I was very much disappointed to see such score. While blind reviewing, I realized that most of the LR questions that I got wrong were towards the end of the test since I guessed all of them due to lack of time.

For RC, it was the same issue; I poured so much time into the first two passages that I did not have time to even read through the other two passages. Also, by section 4, my brain started to shut down that the words would not come into my brain and I could not process what the reading was even about.

So I was wondering if you all would have some tips on the following:

1. How to manage time during LR section as well as increase accuracy?

2. How can I stay concentrated in RC and be engaged with the text? Some people say that I should have a constant conversation with the reading in my brain but that is not easy for me.

3. Some tips for time management in both LR and RC section that has helped people to score high.

   Thank you in advance!

Hi everyone, can someone explain the argumentative section for the LSAT? February was my first time taking the test and from what I understand, I need to complete the writing portion before the 24th.

What does this look like? Does anyone have any tips to be successful? What is the role this plays in the LSAT?

Thank you to anyone who helps!

Hello! I am looking for study partners who are in the South/ Central Jersey who wouldn't mind being a study partner/group. I am taking the June 2026

Hey all! i started studying for my lsat the last week of Jan, i have been consistently scoring the same on the practice tests, wondering when everyone saw a big change/jump in their testing scores?

The space where the saved drill templates are currently isn't intuitive. I would recommend placing them on the drills page where you actually customize the drill and create the template.

Hey everyone Im writing in the discussion regarding our practice blocks. I was trying to find somewhere on the platform where I can edit my practice blocks so I do not have a practice test every week on them. Is this possible on the 7Sage platform? I'm toward the beginning of my studies and would rather focus on drilling and timed sections rather than trying to squeeze in practice tests every week.
