I've been studying since April 2024, and I haven't been able to move my score out of the 150s. I feel like I've tried multiple different techniques for studying and none of them seem to be working for me. Does anyone have any suggestions regarding how they broke the pattern of not making solid improvement?

Hello! I hope everyone’s June LSAT went well. I am writing because I had to cancel my score for the June LSAT because the proctor bothered me so many times during the first two sections I practically had no focus and was stressed the whole exam. Did this happen to anybody else? I was interrupted many times because apparently I was “out of the camera frame” when I was using my scratch paper or when I came close to the laptop screen and my forehead was cut out. This was really frustrating because I can’t see myself on the camera during the test and I just don’t want to worry about this on the next exam. Does anyone have any advice on how to avoid this? A special camera that people used or a certain distance they kept themselves from the laptop?
Thank you!
This is random but I want to do a summer 2025 law internship in Australia but I don't even know how to begin this process. Most programs that I have looked at only offer unpaid experiences, but I would highly prefer to find a paid internship. Does anyone have any insight on this?
In the lessons about In/Out games there is use of bi-conditionals like J (--) /K. For other prep material they have used a "negative bi-conditional", so J (-/-) K. Do these represent the same things? I assumed they both meant J and K cannot be selected together. #Help
Heyyy,
I am planning on taking the October LSAT in the Middle East. Thing is, I have heard that the only available time slots are usually between 2 am and 5.30 am which is a major disadvantage. I can't imagine taking the LSAT during those times and doing well.
Any one have any experience with this? Also, how early will the time slots open up for booking...
I haven't paid for my test yet and wasn't sure if this will cause me to be late on choosing a time slot.
Thanks :)
I know from friends that there is strategy to approaching each section- whether thats numbering logic games on difficulty and taking them in that order or approaching LR questions to save time. Does anyone know if 7sage has guidance on this?
Im still a freshman in college but does anybody know of any good scholarships. I have to go out of state for my school and need to prepare already.
Can we represent this as B->A, as in B(the one possible way) is sufficient to A? For example this would be like 'one way to score 170 on the LSAT is to study well', so [study well] becomes a sufficient condition for [scoring 170].
I kept the specific details out to not spoil anyone, but this was a question from the new drill sets on Lawhub. Someone posted a question about it on reddit but I was wondering if my guess was right.
Hi all! Looking to see if anyone has any recomendations for how to build a study schedule after taking a PT. My current plan is to take a PT bi-weekly Fridays and spend my days going over specific question types I've missed. Should I also consider doing full length sections a day during my week? Throw your study schedule/suggestions in the comments - Thanks all!
Hello there! I graduated college in 2001 with a degree in communications with an emphasis on pre-law. The only professor I had the majority of classes with was arrested for embezzlement after I graduated. He was one of THE TOP professors and knew me well. I found him online. Is his arrest an immediate NO! To a LOR? He’d be the best person if it weren’t for his arrest 19 years ago. Additionally, would it be acceptable to use a coach for a LOR? I wrote a book and have a coach that can attest to my drive, critical reading and writing, heavy workload ability, etc. my other coach is a singing coach. She is very well respected around the world and I actually turned the tables and coached her for a national pageant which she won. I haven’t worked full time in awhile as I had cancer and was out for quite some time, so I have one recent boss but for a vitamin store. I’m healthy now thank goodness and devoting my full time to lsat & admissions. I also sued someone and won the case pro se in 2020– I have an attorney friend of family is a witness to what I went through & how hard I worked—by myself. I’m sorry this is so long but all three have agreed to write a LOR but I’m not sure if they are adequate. Can someone PLEASE lend some insight? THANK YOU!!!
I am looking to create a study group that is a hybrid of online and in person. I am from Atlanta and would love to get more people in my inperson study group if possible.
When I started this journey in March, I quickly realized that having a community around you works wonders for the psyche and for scoring well on the test. I got a 158 on the April LSAT, only studying for a few weeks and using a book. I felt like I could do better if I got a website like this. It was also hard to find people to study with.
I am available almost every day; I've made this my full time job for the summer. I would love for anyone to join and could not care less about your background/limitations. Everyone is welcome.
If you are interested in forming a study group, please contact me!

I've been studying for about 5 months and am taking the August LSAT. I've gone from a 156 diagnostic to solid mid-160 PTs using Mike Kim's LSAT Trainer in tandem with 7Sage explanation videos and analytics.
I recently got two scores of 168, was feeling really close to reaching my goal of 170+, but on the last two PTs I missed a lot on LR and fell back down to 165 and 163, respectively. I'm especially nervous because I had no idea that I was bombing LR and actually felt pretty confident.
Any tips for sharpening my LR in this last month push?
(I have a full-time job and am currently devoting 10-15 hours a week to studying; an expensive tutor isn't an option)
Thanks in advance!
Hi, I wonder if anyone can direct me to find the link to "get acquainted with lsat writing"? I remember reading about this tool in preparation for June's LSAT and today finally decide to try it out but could not find the link anymore. Did they take it down because the real writing session had begun? Or am I looking at the wrong places? A link would be highly appreciated.
Btw I heard this writing is not really important - is that correct? I kinda wanna just do the writing before the multiple choice test so I don't have to think about it anymore but definitely have not had a lot of practice...
Thank you!
Hi everyone,
I am currently studying existential quantifiers and although I understand the concept of existential quantifiers, I find it difficult to apply the concept to MBF questions. I've only done a couple of MBF questions with existential quantifiers, but was wondering whether you need to use existential quantifiers for each MBF question? Also, what types of logical reasoning questions require us to use existential quantifiers?
If possible, can someone please reference some questions that require us to utilize existential quantifiers? I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks in advance :).

Hi 7Sage Community,
I would love to get some advice on how to study once you have run out of practice tests. I have been studying for about a year and have 3 clean PTs left. I am taking the June exam, but also am planning to take the August exam (just to be safe). Does anyone have advice on when to use those clean PTs and how to utilize old PTs effectively? Thank you!
Is anyone currently using Powerscore? I need access to the recording for the Revisited Crystal Mini Ball for June 2023 and was wondering if someone could please share that. Thank you.
Hi everyone!
Was curious to know if anyone has tried the fool proofing method for LR/RC and their results. If people have tried it, have you see a significant improvement in your LR/RC score?
Hi Everyone!
I am looking for someone to take 1 PT per week and review together via Zoom until the August LSAT. Ideally I would love to review on a weekday or Sunday evening (after 5:30pm EST). For reference, I am aiming for a 168-170, and am specifically trying to improve my speed in Logic Games.
Let me know if you are interested! (:
If drilling takes over the problem sets, (aside from few of the most recent PTs) I will not be able to take all 4 sections of any PT without some questions being spoiled, assuming I've done all drills. Therefore, if I took all 4 sections of PTs, my score would be inflated. On the other hand, if I took the 'simulated modern' version, PT 45 and onward would not be spoiled and my score would not be boosted, giving me a more realistic score. But I have heard it is good practice to take all 4 sections. So what should I do then?
How come when looking online at certain LSAT prep websites, some sites appear to incorrectly state that there are 5 sections on the LSAT including 2 logical reasoning sections and 1 unscored section? I thought that even the old version of the LSAT only had 4 sections as well, but the difference was that the double section was predetermined to be logical reasoning and now the double section differs depending on the test you take. I’ve never heard of there being an LSAT with 4 scored sections and 1 unscored… This fifth section is also not listed as the writing prompt as that is listed separately from the unscored section on these sites.
I am performing pretty well when I take the sections individually, but I am not doing so great when I take the entire PTs. I find it that I get 2-3 (sometimes even 5) more wrong per section when I take the entire PTs. If anyone had similar experience, how did you overcome this? What helped you the most?
In case it helps, for the past month or so, I have been doing and reviewing at least 3 sections everyday (not necessarily from same PTs though). If I don't have time to do a full section, I would do at least 1 full LR and 2 games and 2 passages. This approach has been helpful, so I get used to "switching" modes.
Hey, fellow law school applicants!
I'm currently in the process of preparing my law school applications, and I have a question regarding submitting multiple letters of recommendation. I have two professors who have graciously agreed to write me specific letters of recommendation for my top school choices. Additionally, they are also willing to write a more generic letter that I can use for all other schools I'm applying to. However, I'm a bit confused about the logistics of submitting multiple letters. I was hoping to get some advice from those who have been through a similar situation. Is it possible for them to submit multiple letters? If so, how should we go about submitting them to assure they don't get mixed up since I will be waiving my right to view the letters?
Thanks in advance!
