Hey Guys, I live in ATL near the battery and I am taking the April LSAT. I would love to meet some people in the area that would be interested in potentially starting an ATL study group or just a study buddy that would meet once a week or once every other week.

Just got waitlisted from my top school (Suffolk Law School). What are the odds I get admitted from the waitlist?

Hi - My question is whether or not it makes sense to retake the LSAT in April (if I can improve) as a potential tool for getting off of a waitlist (in addition to LOCIs)? I know nothing is guaranteed, but if it could help me get off reserve and accepted, prepping is worth it, but I don't want to do it for nothing. If anyone has any experience with retaking the LSAT as a waitlist tool or any advice, please let me know!!

I have a 163 from the October and November tests last fall. My score didn't change between tests even though it had drastically in prep - I only started 7sage after the October test. I applied with that 163 this cycle. I got waitlisted (reserve list) at Cornell, which is my first choice school. My BR pts had hit 17mid and my official lawhub practice tests well above 163. Honestly the idea of retaking it makes me nauseated, but I do confidently believe I could do better than a 163 on test day after the past few months of a break from the LSAT and applications.

Follow up question: Would the schools I have yet to hear back from see my April LSAT registration? Is there a risk they might put my application to the side as a hold for a future test this late in the game, and is best practice to email all 12 schools I haven't heard from to say don't hold, or is that unnecessary? Pretty much every single remaining application is currently under review (I applied in December), so I don't know if I should call attention to it, but I certainly don't want to delay my decisions through the end of April!

Thanks!

hello,

I took the diagnostic test, but I realized that I couldn't understand the passage.. What can I do to understand/comprehend?

Anyone else feel like conditional reasoning makes their brain go foggy?

In this episode, @AlexJacobs and @BaileyLuber respond to a student who scored a 151, took time off, dropped to a 140, and now feels stuck trying to push into the 160s. They break down why that score drop is completely normal, why a 163 by April or June is absolutely doable, and how to get unstuck with conditional logic.

They talk about:

• Why mindset matters more than you think

• How to actually understand sufficient vs. necessary (instead of just memorizing it)

• The indicator words you must know

• Simple real-life examples that make conditionals finally click

• How to drill smarter without overwhelming yourself

If conditional reasoning feels like alphabet soup, this episode will help you slow down, simplify it, and build it back up the right way.

This week, @AlexJacobs and @BaileyLuber sit down with 7Sage tutor @RyanHan to talk about his path from theater kid, playwright, and Trader Joe’s employee to law school admit and LSAT tutor. Ryan shares how conversations with lawyers, time spent around the Brooklyn courts, and a growing interest in justice helped him find a clear answer to why law.

They also get into Ryan’s LSAT journey: starting with a 156 diagnostic, dealing with major technical problems on test day, adjusting his study process when the standard approach wasn’t clicking, and ultimately earning a 177. Along the way, they talk about live classes, test anxiety, reading comprehension breakthroughs, the “gossip method,” and why a little silliness can go a long way in LSAT prep.

Simon wrote in with a problem many serious LSAT students eventually face: he’s running out of fresh PrepTests.

What do you do when the pool of untouched questions starts to dry up? In this episode, we talk about how to approach the later stages of LSAT prep—when the focus shifts from seeing new material to mastering the test. We cover how to reuse old sections effectively, when “freshness” actually matters, and why deep review can be more valuable than constantly chasing new questions.

Choosing a law school is one of the hardest parts of the admissions process, not because you do not have options, but because you finally do. In this episode, @JacobBaska breaks down what it actually means to deposit, how that differs from enrolling, when it makes sense to ask for a deposit deadline extension, and how to think through waitlists, pending decisions, scholarship timing, and even the possibility of retesting or reapplying.

Jake also walks through the bigger-picture questions that should shape your final choice: rank, cost, scholarship money, job outcomes, geography, student culture, and whether a school genuinely feels like the right fit for your next three years and beyond. If you are staring at multiple offers, waiting on one last decision, or wondering whether it is okay to double deposit, this episode gives you a practical framework for making the call with confidence.

LSAT

I feel like in the last two months alone, 7Sage has introduced new tags (especially for LR) out of blue? While I appreciate the ability for more detailed analysis, it's a bit anxiety-inducing to discover there's a new dimension on this test that I need to master. How often does 7Sage add/discover tags?

Hi! I am looking for a tutor!

A bit of background: I have been studying for the LSAT since 2022, while I was still in undergrad. From 2022-2025, I was studying for the LSAT, while finishing my undergrad degree, internships, and working a full-time job. As you can tell, I was juggling a lot at once. From my studying, I was able to score at one point a 160, but never had that or a resembles of that score on an official LSAT test. I have taken the LSAT 3 times already and now taking a gap year.

I am familiar with the LSAT concepts, have had previous tutoring experience, but looking to strengthening the concepts while not paying an arm and a leg for the price of tutoring.

What I believe the type of tutoring that will help me reach my desired LSAT goal is a resembles of a classroom instruction, where we can go over a concept that I am struggling with, break it down, and I can be assigned weekly homework to strengthen said concept. From previous tutoring experience, I do not excel with only doing randomized LR/RC questions, get some right, get some wrong but with no explanation. I am looking for in-depth explanations and corrections.

If this is the type of structure you offer, I would love to connect!

You only have two chances to take the LSAT: June or October. What do you do if you’re not ready yet?

In this episode, we break down a real scenario from an international student who doesn’t have the flexibility of U.S. test dates. With limited LSAT administrations available, the usual advice—“wait until you’re ready”—gets a lot more complicated.

📌 We cover:

    1. How to approach the LSAT when you only have two test dates

    2. Whether you should take the June exam below your goal score

    3. Why having a “backup test” matters even more internationally

    4. What to do if you’re still in the 150s with a 165 goal

    5. When it might actually make sense to take the test early

    6. If you’re studying part-time, working full-time, or dealing with limited LSAT availability, this episode will help you make the call.

Hello all, I hope you are doing well. By way of introduction, my name is Sharitah. I'm looking for a study partner or partners in the Hamilton/Stoney Creek area in Ontario. If anyone is interested in joining me, please feel free to reach out; we can meet up at the local libraries. I work a 9-to-5. Weekday evenings work best, and am flexiable on weekends.

I aim to take the August LSATS and October as a backup. Thank you, and looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi Everyone!!

I am just wondering if anyone has ever been through or knows someone who has been academically dismissed...... then reapplied with success. 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 - $90hr

For moderator use only: Apologies for the repost, I think the initial one was in the wrong room. 1 per week, I know.

Does anyone want to help keep me accountable? Like spam me lsat stuff :)

Hey everyone, so I graduated university in May of 2025. I had trouble with the 2026 application cycle because adult life got in the way. Now, I am back at it trying to get everything perfected to reapply this October 2026. I am looking at my portfolio as a whole and I had a minor concern.

My letters of recommendation are from my undergraduate mock trial coach, my lawyer mentor, and one of my uni professors. I was wondering if that is a bad look now that I am a year post-grad? I do not work in the legal field currently, so I have not made any new relevant connections. Do you think my current letters of recommendation good or should I be looking at revamping these too? I wouldn't even know where to look - so any and all advice would be SO APPRECIATED.

Thanks!

Anyone from Surrey BC/ Vancouver who is looking for a study buddy? Online or in person.

175 scorer, Cornell grad magna cum laude. I'm also an LSAT instructor/tutor with 10 years of private tutoring experience and five years of experience at a major test prep company, where I tutored one-on-one as well as taught in front of a classroom.

I have helped countless LSAT students achieve their law school goals. The LSAT can feel like an insurmountable challenge and is viewed as the predictive indicator of law school success. LSAT requires a way of thinking that might feel unfamiliar to most. It's not a test of intelligence - it is a test of pattern recognition and understanding of the structure of arguments. I help you study strategically so you develop the skills you will need on test day, such as reading critically, inductive and deductive reasoning, and organizing evidence. I lay the foundation for the skills you will need to succeed in law school! I identify the techniques that will be most useful to you on test day and shore up against weaknesses so you can attack the test with confidence.

I also help craft graduate application essays, supplemental essays, law school application personal statements, and academic papers. I help with ideation, conceptualization, style, grammar, vocabulary, and structure. I guide, support, and help develop craft, de-stressing an often-fraught process.

Feel free to reach out! Happy to chat about where you are on your law school journey.

Hi, I'm Nick! I work primarily with students who feel stuck despite doing a lot of practice and need a clearer system for understanding why they’re missing questions.

I went from 158 --> 178 in 4 months by learning how to diagnose my mistakes and change how I approached the test. I now work with students using that same approach, focusing on underlying reasoning issues that lead to fast, durable score improvements. I’m a good fit for students who want structured feedback and are willing to think carefully about their mistakes—not just do more questions.

You can find more about my tutoring philosophy and availability on my website. Happy to answer any questions!

Hi everyone I'm looking for study buddies either in person or virtually to motivate each other and help each other out. I am planning on taking the LSAT twice. First attempt will be in September and if I'm not happy with my score then I am retaking it in November. Currently studying 3-6 hours!
