Can someone help me with this template LR question. Its similar to an actual LSAT question I've taken before, but I changed details for purposes of sharing.

There is a new class at school. Students will voluntarily take the new class only if the school makes it mandatory. The school will make the new class mandatory only if students don't voluntarily take it.

What must be true (necessary assumption):

• Students won't voluntarily adopt the new class

• School won't make the new class mandatory

• Other answer???

Testing early next year, around feb! Hoping to put 300-400 hrs of focused studying by then!!

I am not sure what to do, I have a 169 PT average in the summer and now it went down to a 166 pt average from my recent PT. I scored a 158 and then a 161. In the 158 I had a 178 BR score, and then now I have a 166 BR. My average BR is a 173, and i scored a 170 back then, but I do not know what to do. I am so lost. Sorry I just hate this exam that sometimes i do not know if i am drowning or swimming

Hello! I am currently studying for the LSAT, I am hoping to write it sometime in the first quarter of 2027. I was thinking it would be great to get a group of people who may wanna meet up to hopefully share our frustrations, develop some resilience and hopefully kick this tests butt! If you dont know other people trying to go to Law school I found studying for this can be a lonely experience so maybe it could be a cool idea to get some study buddies on here!

I've been teaching and tutoring the LSAT since 2002 - for almost 25 years. I was the LSAT Product Manager at a major test prep company for several years, have helped write and revise multiple LSAT courses, and have been tutoring independently since 2012. My approach is based on working smarter, not harder; being efficient in the approach to the questions, and having a repeatable set of steps based on question types. I generally find that most of my methodology works well as a complement to 7Sage curriculum (question stem first, low-res summaries, etc) with some added nuances I've learned over my long LSAT career.

I have some space in my fall schedule and am offering a couple of different options for students. The normal policy is that I offer a free phone consultation (up to 30 minutes) for students to ask questions before scheduling. Right now, I am also offering (these are in lieu of the phone consultation) the first two hour session at half price, or a "no-risk" first session, which is scheduled for two hours but gives the student the option at the end of the first hour to end the session an pay nothing, but otherwise will be a regular two hour session billed at the two hour rate.

I generally schedule between noon and 6 pm Eastern, Tues-Sat, and my base rates are $100/hour for a two hour session. I do offer a discounted prepaid nonrefundable session if booked a week in advance, and am sometimes available for shorter sessions or meetings after my normal hours for a slightly higher rate. I never have students pay for more than the next session ahead of time, so you're not locked into a huge purchase of hours if you hit your target early, change your plans, or decide it's not a good fit.

If you're interested in more information, please message me and I'll send you my email to get more details about sessions and scheduling. Thanks!

Hi all! I'm Kerry, and I'm currently taking students for the October 2026 LSAT and beyond.

I'm a magna cum laude J.D. graduate of Michigan Law, and I also have an M.A. in Law from Yale University. After leaving BigLaw and transitioning into parenthood, I began tutoring the LSAT full-time in 2015. I've helped hundreds of students gain admission to dozens of law schools all around the U.S. and Canada. I have also contracted with multiple law schools and undergrad instiutions to teach or tutor LSAT prep, especially through their diversity pipeline programs. Moreover, I actively tutor law students and bar exam prep and have taught First Amendment and Media Law as a law school adjunct professor.

My emphasis is on true comprehension--there is simply no substitute for truly understanding what is being asked of you, what your job is, and how to do that job. I endeavor to break down the thought processes that high scorers engage in, step by step, so that you can progress quickly and consistently.

I live in the Detroit area, Eastern time zone, and I tutor five days a week (Tuesdays and Saturdays are my days off). I keep a wide range of hours to make myself available to students across various time zones, but I prefer to work between 9 a.m. Eastern and 10 p.m. Eastern. At the moment, my widest availability is Fridays and Sundays, though I have a few spots on other days.

My preferred session length is 90 minutes, though I'm happy to work with you if you have a preference for shorter or longer. My base rate is $120 per hour ($180 for a single 90-minute sessions), and I do offer package discounts of up to 20% off for a package of 20 sessions or more). Other discounts are available for smaller packages.

Please reach out to me at kerry@lsatmaven.com and mention that you found me on 7Sage!

I'm taking the exam with 100% extended time. Lately, when I complete a later LSAT test (PT140 or later) in individual sections, I've been getting -4 or -5, placing me closer to 166-167 equivalent. These sections were also timed. My RC is still relatively strong. But I have been dropping in LR. In fact, I ironically got a 156 on an exam where I scored my highest on a logical reasoning exam (-4), and it was NOT experimental. What am I doing wrong psychologically?

Hi! I’m studying for the November LSAT and was wondering if anyone in the San Diego area would be down to study together

Hi, I'm Nick! I work primarily with students who feel stuck despite doing a lot of practice and who 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, scheduling, and availability on my website. Happy to answer any questions!

Hey everyone! I’m Jason and I’m offering private LSAT tutoring! www.sheffermancoaching.com

My Approach: My tutoring is very visual, hands on, and personalized because that was the style of tutoring I needed but never got. I realized most LSAT tutors are the natural test takers not needing to have studied much. The LSAT did not come naturally to me…I took the LSAT 6 times starting from an official 147 to eventually a 173. I needed someone to understand things at my level (the very bottom) and to walk me through the process. I also needed a more visual and repeatable approach that works for any question type or passage.

Limited Availability: I keep my roster small on purpose because I get genuinely involved with everyone I work with. My tutoring works best when it feels like a friend who’s had similar experiences rather than you feeling like I’m counting the minutes until the session is over. 



A bit about me: I studied the intersection of philosophy and cognitive psychology and TA’d in formal logic, was the commencement speaker and graduated from Washington University in St. Louis School of Law in 2025 and worked as a startup corporate lawyer for Cooley LLP. Check out my website for more info!

I started off with a 154 diagnostic when I first looked at the LSAT in July 2025, and then took it again with only a month of a studying and went up to 158 last December, and didn’t go up again until I took a month off and got a 161 on an April PT. I’ve been using 7Sage and have done 20 PTs and thousands of questions, and did a LSAT LR book. In June I got a 163 with barely any sleep, and I took September and got my highest ever PT score, a 164. On BR, I correct almost every question.

What do I do? I’m signed up for October and I want a 166, or even a 165. It’s the difference between two more questions right, but it’s driving me crazy.

Hello Everyone!

If you just got your score back and are disappointed, I know the feeling. I want to help you make a plan for success. I love to help students learn that the LSAT is a conquerable test! Let’s start with a consult so that we can chart everything out, so I know what your goals are and you know how we can best reach them together! For a bit of background here is what working together typically looks like:

Initial Consult (Getting You Set Up for Success):

Our first session is all about understanding you: your goals, your timeline, and how you learn best. We’ll cover:

• Your background and any prior LSAT prep

• Your strengths (e.g., Logical Reasoning vs. Reading Comprehension)

• Your target score and law school goals

• What you’ve tried so far and what has/hasn’t worked

From there, I’ll build a customized study plan tailored to you. Our typical ongoing session structure:

• Strategic Review – We review recent practice, track progress, and break down missed questions in detail.

• Targeted Lesson – Focused instruction based on your needs (e.g., flaw questions, strengthen/weaken, RC main point, timing strategy).

• Drill & Practice – Apply concepts immediately with guided drills and live problem-solving.

• Recap & Homework – Clear takeaways and a structured plan for what to work on before our next session.

My goal is not just to improve your score, but to help you develop a repeatable system for approaching every question with confidence. I like to be very hands on and supportive throughout your studying to both make sure you are learning to the best of your ability and that you have a good accountability partner! You will leave each class knowing what to do in our time apart!

Reach out via chat or post a comment and Ill reach out to you- let's get started this week on mastering the LSAT together!

Best,

John

Hello! My name is Greg, and I specialize in personalized LSAT tutoring tailored to each student’s unique needs and learning style. Since 2020, I’ve helped multiple students achieve perfect 180 scores and guided dozens more into the 170s through an adaptable, supportive, and results-driven approach. 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 I am blind reviewing this PT and there is no explanations for the whole RC. At least, can I get explanations for questions 16 and 18, please? I got these two wrong on both regular and blind review. Thank you!

Hi there,

My name is Carl, and I've been tutoring the LSAT since the early 2000s, online and in person. These days I mostly work online over Zoom.

I would never tell someone that it's impossible to self-study for the test or that a tutor is absolutely required, by any means. I would say, however, that having the right guidance at the right moment in your studies can both save you a lot of frustration and streamline the process of improving your score.

Here are some of the ways I've worked with students:

Plateau Busting - I specialize in helping people move the needle who've been stuck on a plateau for a long time. There are natural points where people get stuck (high 150s, mid 160s, etc.), and I've developed methods for helping people push past those sticking points.

Ground-Floor Up Rebuilds - Sometimes, the problem is you've never really established the baseline skill set. You've poked around, started and stopped, and your core skills never full gelled. I can help you rebuild the necessary foundation to set yourself up for success.

Troubleshooting - Sometimes all you need is someone to help when you hit a sticking point. You're doing great overall, but a specific question type is killing you. It can even be a specific few questions. I excel at having fruitful, thoughtful discussions of some of the finer points of the test.

Extreme Score Goals - There aren't a lot of tutors who can help you move a 173 to a 176. I have been able to do that for students. It's a very specialized skill set, working with those already in or near the 99th percentile, as once you're in that upper score range, you're just not making any easy mistakes any more.

Tutoring of Last Resort - I've had some clients come to me who've tried everything else. Some of them have literally done every single question available at least once. If nothing else has worked, I might be able to help.

I offer a free one-hour evaluation session to all potential clients. It's an hour for us to meet, discuss your troubles, have me demonstrate my tutoring style, and have you ask any questions you have. So, please, reach out if you'd like to schedule an evaluation with me to see if I can help you.

The easiest way to reach out is to use the scheduler at my website: https://www.ivorytowertutoring.com/schedule/ . You can also shoot me a DM here or respond to this post.

What is the highest level and score possible for Logic Blitz?

Hi everyone! I'm Ezra, and I scored a 180 on the September LSAT around a month ago, so the grind of PTs, blind review, and wrong-answer journaling is still very fresh for me. I am new to tutoring the LSAT, but I tutored economics in college and I love teaching this exam. I firmly believe that with a strong foundation, good study habits, and proper dedication, most people can reach their goal scores.

My specialty is closing gap between blind review and timed scores, and working on efficient study plans. These were key to how I scored a 180 and I have put a lot of hours into developing tactics for them. If you're regularly getting questions right in blind review that you are missing under time pressure, or your PT scores are plateauing short of where you know they should be, I am here to help!

How I work:

• We start by assessing your performance and how you are studying, to pin down where you could improve.

• Whether its pacing, second-guessing, or trouble with specific question types, we will develop targeted solutions.

• We will work on tailoring our sessions so that they work best for you. Everyone learns best differently, and we will spend time making sure that your study time is spent is optimally and efficiently.

• I work best with students who already have some familiarity with the exam and the question types. If you're brand new to the LSAT, I'd suggest going through the 7Sage foundations, then reach out.

• I am offering 1-on-1 sessions. I prefer 90-minute sessions, but can do 60-minutes as well if you have less time.

Rates:

I am currently pricing my 60-minute sessions at $60 and 90-minute sessions at $85.

Feel free to dm me here or comment below with any questions! 😁 (I can provide proof of score if requested)

Does the 7Sage Podcast have an episode that helps decide when to take a break and possibly defer even when you’re near your goal score and have already registered for an exam?

For context, I’m extremely burnt out and making careless mistakes and therefore losing easy points. Average PT is 168 and I took the lsat august and september (158, 164 respectively). Goal score is 172. I’m also KJD.

Scheduled for october but highly considering withdrawing and rescheduling for February. I don’t want to waste a try

Hey! I'm looking for a study buddy or group, preferably located in the greater Phoenix area and able to meet in person, but I'm open to meeting online with people from anywhere. Frequency is flexible. I'm taking the October and November seatings this year and I'm hoping to find someone to work through different questions and strategies with. Please don't hesitate to reach out!

Hi! I’m looking for a virtual LSAT study buddy or small study group for the November LSAT. I’d love to have someone who can help keep me accountable, compare study methods, and work through the areas we’re each struggling with.

I’m on West Coast time, but I’m flexible and would love to meet regularly and study together. If you’re also taking the November LSAT and looking for someone to study with, message me!

Hi guys.

After being approved for remote testing, and more hours than I'd like to count with technical issues, on the testing center's third attempt, I finished the LSAT yesterday.

I know in the future I'd love to write again, not because I did badly this time, but because I'd love to do so. I think it went very well, but that in the future when finances are different I would love to do it in a testing center for real, and I think I'd get a marginally better score. The tools I've gained from learning this test helped expose me to different types of writing, arts, science, things I wouldn't have seen before. I learned about conditional, causal and formal reasoning and I have learned a rhetorical discernment that I'll have for the rest of my life.

People don't know, but this has been the only community I've ever had, where my natural critical thinking has been a tool to be strengthened rather than seen as bad social skills or bad attitude. I know the logical reasoning sections were very good, likely near perfect, A few wrong on the reading comprehension but it definetely was strong. I can't help but feel like I'd like to take on the "LSAT level 2", I feel like it was over almost too quickly. To build the skill involving fluid intelligence rather than memory, to learn and grow without being held back by memory or the physical body has been an amazing experience. I feel like I'd want to learn to get beyond the basic sufficiency/necessity contrapositive, and kind of go on to the next level. However I'm realizing that in this area this test is the top of the line, other than like a phD in philosophy or something (which is useless). I want to do what's next, it felt like I was being illuminated upon as I learned some of the more complex contrortions of causal reasoning, I enjoyed waking up at night thinking and people around me joking I was having "revelations". I feel like someone who was a born athlete that got scouted and trained by the Olympics for a few months, and it went really well, and the door opened, but no matter how wide its open I'm 20 feet below, and I'll never reach.

All thats next is the bar, but I know my financial situation, disability related factors, and my location will make it unlikely to even be able to go to law school. it almost feels like I fear the best is over, not even just this, but the best of life, childhood, hope, curiosity. I want to see whats next though, and I'm sad to let this 7sage community go. I haven't felt smart in a long time. There's nerds here, like my type of nerdy.

Hello! I am planning to take the LSAT in the first half of next year and would love to study with others in the same boat! I am currently finding it a little difficult to stay consistent with my studies due to work, which is why it would be great to also hold each other accountable and make regular study calls. I'm on the East Coast (EST) but looking for anyone who is eager to get a higher score. Thank you for your consideration!

Hi everyone! I’m Bob Verini, and I bring 45+ years of LSAT teaching experience, 10,000+ students taught, and a track record that includes 30-point score gains. I’ve personally earned multiple perfect 180s, and many of my students have achieved 180s as well.

I spent 40 years at Kaplan, including time as a Director of LSAT, authoring LSAT books, developing course materials, and training LSAT teachers. I’m also a five-time Jeopardy! champion and Tournament of Champions winner. Today, I teach privately through Bob Verini Inc.

How I can help

There are things about this test I know that many others don’t, and you’ll learn about them in our first session.

Whether you’re just starting out or have been studying for months without seeing improvement, our sessions will focus on identifying exactly where you’re losing points and how to address it. We’ll work through questions together so I can understand your reasoning, spot recurring mistakes, and help you develop an approach you can apply consistently on your own.

I work with students at every level, and helping strong scorers who have hit a ceiling is an area where I particularly excel. If you keep narrowing answers down to two, understand explanations but struggle to apply them, or can’t translate your practice performance into your official score, those are issues we can tackle together.

Rates and support

My rate is $250 per hour. Sessions are tailored to your needs, with email and text support between sessions included at no additional charge.

Please visit BobVerini.com for more information and to schedule a free consultation, or feel free to message me here.

Hi everyone! I'm Ezra, and I scored a 180 on the September LSAT, so the grind of PTs, blind review, and wrong-answer journaling is still very fresh for me. I tutored economics in college, and have been tutoring the LSAT since I took the exam. I love teaching the exam and I think the LSAT can be a fun and engaging challenge with the right approach. I firmly believe that with a strong foundation, good study habits, and proper dedication, most people can reach their goal scores.

My specialty is closing gap between blind review and timed scores, and building personalized and highly effective study plans. These were key to how I scored a 180 and I have put a lot of hours into developing tactics for them. Reaching a high score on the LSAT requires a holistic approach that goes beyond making sure you understand the questions. Success is also largely about tactics for performing under timed pressure. If you're regularly getting questions right in blind review that you are missing under time, or your PT scores are plateauing short of where you know they should be, I am here to help!
