I know most of the folks here are more concerned about their LSAT scores than their GPAs, but I'm on the other side of the spectrum. University was a really rough point in my life due to some family stuff and my GPA was heavily affected by it. I saw a post today about how law schools are really going to come down harder on their cut-off points for LSAT scores, and I'm concerned the same will be true for GPAs. Any advice/insight?

Are any other folks in the same boat?

I just started LSAT prep about a month ago, and my PT average is 160, so I think I'm in a decent place to start, but I honestly don't want to spend my time, energy, and money on the LSAT if my GPA is gonna keep me from getting into a law school anyway.

I have been trying to break into the 150s and 160s for LSAT studying but I keep getting stuck at the late 140s. I am having a lot of trouble with logical reasoning and am not sure how to fix it. I am taking the LSAT in February and then taking it again in April. What should I do? What studying techniques should I incorporate? I have been consistently drilling. Every three days I take a day off after studying for two or three hours and working a full time job. Any recommendations?

I'm starting my process of getting letters of recommendation for my application, how many letters of recommendation would you guys suggest? I've heard 2 or 3 but I'm just not sure.

Breaking into the 170s on Logical Reasoning is not about doing more questions. It is about building the right habits.

In this episode of the 7Sage LSAT Podcast, instructors Bailey and Chapin talk through the key Logical Reasoning habits that separate top scorers from the rest. They explain why LR plateaus happen, how 170 plus scorers approach arguments differently, and what actually drives consistent improvement.

You will learn how to spot what an argument must assume, how to eliminate wrong answer choices with confidence, and how to review mistakes in a way that leads to real score gains. If you are stuck in the high 160s or want to make your LR practice more effective, this episode is for you.

The LSAT is hard. We will help you crush it anyways.

Hello everyone! I’m looking for a study buddy to prep for the LSAT together. I’m planning to take the June 2026 or sometime after June LSAT and I am aiming for at least a 165 and above.

I’m looking to:

• study with someone once or twice a week (i’m working 3 days a week at a firm so I’m sure, we could work something out and possibly have more study days).

• Keeping each other accountable and motivated

• Reviewing questions, talking through strategies, or doing focused study sessions

• Have virtual study sessions

Best of luck to everyone studying for this exam!!

I am early in my LSAT studying (about halfway through theory modules) and have heard people talk about keeping a mistake journal? When should I start? How do I know how to set it up? Are there any good videos out there? PLZ HELP!!

hi everyone! I’m in a bit of a pickle, I took my third LSAT and it didn’t quite go my way at all. I have two cancels on file already, and scored a 143 on my latest test. I’m very sad about the situation, but am wondering if anyone has any advice on if I should keep or cancel my score. I intend to study with a tutor and retake this Fall to apply for next year’s cycle. Please help! Thank you! :-)

How do you all study for the argumentative writing portion of the test? I’ve reviewed the content from 7sage but wondering how else to prepare. Should I do some practice tests through LSAC?

hey everyone,

I took my argumentative writing portion of the lsat today. I finished the actual essay. I wouldn't say it was my best work but it was okay given the time constraints. my only worry is that I had a number of typos that I wasn't able yo address before I ran out of time. is this nothing to be worried about??? should I be concerned...? should I redo it?? any suggestions would be helpful. thank you!

Hey y'all!

I was wondering if I could get y'alls opinions on this. Some brief context before I move onto my actual question: I am currently in the process of applying to law schools right now and I got a not-so-ideal score on the January 2026 test. I decided that I am going to apply anyways, with the caveat that I am retaking the LSAT in April and will submit those scores once they arrive (which I stated in an addendum).

Moving on to my main question: for the law schools with rolling admissions whose applications don't close until July, should I apply now and include the aforementioned addendum, or should I wait for the actual scores come out and apply with the new score?

Hello All,

I was wondering if there's anyone else like me who scored lower than their PT’s average by 7 points and how i can resolve this issue before getting back into studies? I consistently score 158-160 and could not break out of the 150s on the offical test. What might the issues be? Even with extra time like 50 min, i had to guess on 2-3 questions in each section.

hey so I am starting to get better on LR however I am doing very poorly on RC. I have accommodations and am trying to understand what I am reading but I do not know what to look for. After looking back I got 9 questions wrong that I was between two answers and the other answer was right.

hi i just started lsat prep a week ago and im kinda nervous because right now im just in the theory section and i havent seen any practice tests yet in all of the theory section. im assuming this would start in practice section? Idk it just kind of makes me nervous. is it normal to not be doing practice tests this early?

Hi, i am currently doing my practice block on my study plan. I took a full practice test on saturday and i have a certain amount of assignments to complete each day. I took yesterday off since it was the day after my practice test, and today is monday and i come to complete my daily drills and i literally cant focus. Like i keep getting them wrong. Is that a sign maybe of drain from the PT, should i stop or push through it?

Hi y'all, looking for some advice. On January 22nd, I received notice from UNC Law that they were putting my application on hold. They said their goal is to make decisions on hold files by mid-to-late March at the latest and if I am neither admitted nor rejected by April 15th, they'll invite me to join the waitlist. I replied by thanking them for their consideration to which they replied by saying I could pass along any substantive updates or write a LOCI, but they also say "the most helpful LOCIs have information that was not previously included in the initial application." I don't feel like I have anything major to add besides some additional accomplishments at work and some other reasons why I am interested in the school. I also listened to the admissions podcast today (see below), and it seems like Jake is strongly suggesting that we hold off on LOCI's until early April.

So I think I may have answered my own question, but should I hold off on sending a LOCI or could there be any benefit of sending one in now? Thanks for your help!

STUDY GROUP ALERT

Hey, I am a single mother to a 3-year-old. I am looking to start a study/accountability group with like-minded people who understand the commitment and journey of being a single parent, while going to school/work, and studying for the LSAT! Yes, I am looking for accountability, but also understanding that sometimes what I schedule doesn't matter to my 3-year-old. I am in the very beginning stages of studying (still on fundamentals) and planning to take the test in August. I am interested in making a study plan together, emailing, Zoom meetings, attending live sessions together, and whatever else we come up with. If this interests you, then let's get to it! If this doesn't, best of luck on your journey, and I hope everyone gets the score they deserve!

I think the analytics currently show my overall accuracy across all drills I've ever done. The problem is that if I improve, my stats barely change because they're weighed down by all my past mistakes. It would be more useful if the analytics showed my accuracy over just the last 2 weeks instead, so I can actually see my recent progress.

Howdy Y'all,

I just started my test prep today! Whoo hoo... confidence is high at the moment, but I know there will be hard times in the future. However, the point of this post is to ask how or if note-taking has been beneficial to you. I want to start writing down main points, my understandings, etc. to increase memory note-taking. I just wanted to hear your thoughts, how you take notes (pen/paper, or electronically) or if you even take notes at all! Thanks, have an amazing day!

I am new to 7 Sage and don't know my way around yet. Could someone tell me where to find the past recorded classes?

hi I am just interested in help with writing my application materials i am heavily considering the help 7sage offers for a single but full application to one school but it is so expensive. if anyone on here knows of other places that offer something similar for less or anyone here that would be interested please let me know. Thanks!

I have noticed that questions on 7sage tests start easier and then get harder as the section goes on. Is that the case for the real LSAT exam as well? I am assuming that it so, but just wanted to make sure.

URM, two MA's in Middle eastern studies, one from an ivy league. GPA of 3.9 across schools, with phd level classes. 3 great recommendations, one associate professor from each school, one who doubles as a department head at the ivy league. Great story: kicked out for being queer, returned to school as a mature student, excelled and and looking to work in public interest law. Great personal statements working on them since summer 2025, had writing assessors review and edit. 2 concurrent university designated certificates, in history and regional studies specialization, 4 languages, 1 human rights certificate from CITI. Professional experience is lacking, primarily in hospitality management. Volunteer experience is good, youth mentor and student councils across schools and pre-academia. Working on publishing and getting internships in law firms before classes start.

Hey guys! I was wondering if there was a way to have more weeks of just practice versus theory, or if i selected "just practice", will I still have acsess to the theory videos, should I need them?

Hey all,

So when I was in undergrad, I was a leader in an org that, to be blunt, had a strange sounding name. The actual mission of the org was pretty commendable, and it was an official university org, but the name sounds a bit culty because the original founder had a weird sense of humor. I did a lot of work with this org that I’m proud of, but is it a bad idea to include it?
