Taking the April exam and I unfortunately continue to make careless mistakes on this exam. Whether it be misreading, missing a word in the stimulus, or some other small mistake. This is one of my biggest issues I'm working on now. I think it would be great if 7sage had a practice option that would just focus on/isolate the stimulus making sure the student understands the stimulus, i.e. premise(s), conclusion, argument, flaw, is able to translate/summarize. I'm not too lazy to isolate stimuli myself, but this would be more convenient and I think it would help students at all levels/ranges of studying. Cheers 7sage team.

Not Improving

I have been studying for several months and am stuck in the 150-153 range when taking PT's. Does anyone have recommendations for study strategies? I am specifically struggling with Conditional Reasoning, Link Assumption, and Flaw/Descriptive Weakening areas. However, my current strategy does not seem to be helping enough.

i need help! i have a problem where sometimes i get so nervous or dont know what to focus on to the point where i literally cant understanding what im reading. i read but it makes no sense. it is costing me time and points. i just lose focus and it's so bad does anyone have any tips?

Looking for people that are willing to make a group chat so that we can hold ourselves accountable to studying EVERYDAY (with exceptions if needed).

We can find a system to remind and make sure make sure that we're completing our practices/studying everyday. We can use it to help and cheer each other on in this long and tedious process!

My exam date is for August but happy to work with anyone and everyone :)

We can be each other's accountability buddies!

Hi everyone, any tips on how to get faster taking the LSAT? I am a naturally slow reader so i don't get to finish a section before the timer is up. I finished the core curriculum last month and I've been practicing since then.

Any tips will be greatly appreciated!

Hi,

I need some advice. Everyone says to drill to help improve, and I do. However, I notice that even if I do drill, I'm still getting questions wrong. Is that normal? Also, is there a specific way to drill effectively?

4

Hi! I have around 100 wrong questions so far from drills, sections, etc. I went to the analytics, questions, and filtered by LR, incorrect, and the most recent. I have been going all the way to the end and redoing those questions because I honestly forgot some of them by now. I'm redoing them and also taking time to really review what I did wrong the first (and sometimes second) time. BUT, its taking so long. 2 hours of studying and i only get through like 15 questions. Im taking the June LSAT, should I be spending my time this way or more on taking full sections/drilling? (also time is not a huge priority for me)

Also... highly recommend if you hate reviewing wrong questions like right after this has helped so much.

Is there a set numbers of questions that you're supposed to do for a drill? I usually do a bunch of 5-10 question drills but I've seen people say you should be doing 25 for each drill.

I made a post abt wrong answer tags recently but I have a revised wrong answer suggestion: instead of having each of the wrong answers individually tagged for every question, maybe it would be easier to have a sort of embedded form in the notes section where the user can multiple choice select/tag the wrong answer type for the question they got wrong, which then shows up on the analytics dashboard

For example:

Also, I only just realized that there's a wrong answer journal template in Notes (mostly bc I was poking around the section) and it would be really cool and epic if that were more prominently featured/identifiable bc I didn't even know to look for it. And on the topic of WAJ, I'm making a general appeal for more integrated wrong answer journal features; I have my own docs/spreadsheet tracker but would much prefer to have everything nested and organized within the 7sage platform bc that would be even more cool and epic.

When clicking discussion or next in the CC it brings up the question again instead of the discussion or going to the next page.

Does anyone have any tips for Strengthen/Weaken questions on Phenomenon Hypothesis passages? I do not struggle with the concept of strengthening or weakening on most questions, but I seemed to get tripped up on harder WSE questions in a phenomenon hypothesis passage.

Not Improving

I started studying in September 2025 and am taking the LSAT for the first time in April. However, this past month my scores have not been improving and are also sometimes going down. I don't know if this is due to burnout or what, but I need tips on how to fix my studying strategy for the last few weeks before I take the LSAT.

Sometimes when I move to real review, I want to re-check BR recommended questions for any variety of reasons, usually because for any of the reasons BR is suggested (taking too long, changing answers, etc), I probably had a looser hold on the strategy or concept at hand.

I would love to be able to toggle "suggested BR" demarcators in review so that I could spend a little extra time re-upping my knowledge or strategy of questions that I was slower or less sure on, even if I got them right.

Parallel reasoning questions can feel overwhelming, even for strong LSAT students. In this episode of the 7Sage LSAT Shortcut, @AlexJacobs and @BaileyLuber explain why these questions often become a major time sink and what to do about it.

Their first piece of advice is simple. Skip them. If parallel reasoning or parallel flaw questions slow you down, save them for the end of the section so you can spend your time on questions you are more likely to get right.

They also break down what to do once you are ready to tackle them. Learn when to diagram conditional reasoning, how to translate arguments into simpler structures like If A then B then C, and how to eliminate answer choices quickly by tracing conclusions and matching logical form.

Finally, they zoom out to a bigger LSAT lesson. Your study strategy should evolve with your score. The techniques that help at 150 are not the same ones that matter at 170, and focusing on the right skills at the right time is key to improving efficiently.

First of all want to say I am a big fan of 7sage and what it did for me! I do have one suggestion, and I'm not sure if it's already possible.

I was wondering whether the option of not seeing why the question was recommended for Blind Review would be advantageous. I sometimes subconsciously dismiss a blind review question when I see that I got it right, which I know I should not do. That being said, I feel like the option to omit why it was wrong until after submission would be great!

Thanks again!

Hello everyone,

I am studying for the June/August LSAT and I would love to meet people in the Boston area who would like to study together in the evenings/early mornings, or just hold each other accountable. I work full time so it has been hard to be fully disciplined when studying, so if you relate, feel free to comment below or message me. I would love to connect! :)

My difficulty setting is now 4-5. I keep getting stuck between two answers (usually the most popular answers) and keep choosing the wrong one. What is going onnnnnnn?!!!!! Anyone struggling with this right now? What does it mean and how can I work on fixing it? It’s very discouraging and incredibly frustrating

Hi all. My name is Matthew. I graduated college in '22 and currently am studying for the LSAT for Feb 2026. I am writing to see if anyone wants to be apart of a study group. I was planning on making a WhatsApp group. I am based in Logan Circle. Let me know if anyone is interested!

Get a better rate for your law school loans

Hey all, we're partnering with a cool new startup called Juno to try to make Law School more affordable. See below for a message from them.

----

If you’re planning to attend law school this fall and think you may need student loans, it may be worth joining the Juno Law School Loan Negotiation Group before May 1st.

Juno is a free platform that organizes students into large groups and negotiates with private lenders to secure lower interest rates. The idea is simple: when thousands of students come together, lenders compete to offer better terms.

Over the past 8 years, more than $1B in student loans have been negotiated through Juno, and thousands of graduate students, including law students, have used the platform to access discounted rates.

A few things to know:

  • Joining is free and takes about a minute to complete

  • There’s no obligation to take a loan

  • Rates are negotiated after the group closes, and members can compare offers before deciding

  • If Juno doesn’t beat the best rate you find elsewhere, they offer a Rate Match Program

Even if you’re still deciding how you’ll fund law school (federal loans, private loans, scholarships, etc.), joining the group simply gives you access to the negotiated rates once they’re finalized.

Join by May 1st to help negotiate the best rates possible!

If you want to learn more or join the group, use this link:

https://juno.us/7sage 

Juno also has some great financial education resources for law students at https://joinjuno.com/resources/law including my favorite, the JD Budget and Loan Planner

If anyone has questions about how law school loans work or how the negotiation process works, feel free to ask below.

Bottleneck in the low 170s

I’ve been consistently scoring around 173 on fully timed LSAT PTs, and I’m taking the exam in April. My goal is to reach the mid-to-high 170s.

On BR, after reviewing all my missed/flagged questions, I often get up to around 178. So now I’m wondering: is missing 1-3 questions per section under timed conditions basically inevitable for me at this point, or is this a bottleneck I can still break before the test?

In terms of my circumstances, I often do have time after LR to double-check my work, usually around 5 minutes or so. But I still miss a good percentage of those wrong answers because I didn’t flag them. Basically, I choose the wrong answer without realizing it’s wrong, so I don’t go back to it. For the questions I do flag, I’ve actually been getting them right.

This has been happening pretty consistently for the last two weeks, and I’m worried I’ve plateaued. For people who’ve made the jump from the low 170s to the mid/high 170s, what actually helped? How do you get a perfect score on a section without it feeling like a coin toss?

Today's episode: A student returns to LSAT prep after taking a few months off and suddenly finds even small drills overwhelming. Full practice tests feel intimidating, and when they try to take one, they rush through just to finish.

Bailey and Alex talk about how to rebuild LSAT endurance after a hiatus. They explain why this feeling is common, how to ramp back up from short drills to full sections, and why weekly practice tests are still essential if you want your best score.

If you're struggling to restart your LSAT routine, this episode walks through a simple way to rebuild discipline, stamina, and confidence.

Hey folks, I typically PT in the high 160s or low 170s when timed, and I don't intend to ever try a practice test untimed because I feel like there just aren't enough tests for that.

However, I was wondering if it would be effective to start doing more untimed work, I've been doing it and have been finding it helpful to recognize patterns (like thinking to myself: okay this is a strength, it makes a causal claim, we're likely looking for an answer choice about some assumption the causal claim makes). I've actually found that thought process pretty helpful for both timing and accuracy.

Specifically, I was wondering if this is generally recommended, specifically for when you are trying to break into the top scores.

My current routine is:

1) Read an Economist article about a topic I don't particularly care for to warm up

2) Do an automatic untimed 4-passage drill or an untimed 25-question drill

3) Blind/Review + Wrong Answer Journal Analysis

Does anyone have any thoughts on whether this is a decent routine?

If it helps, I often will go to like 37-38 minutes on these two drills when untimed, meaning I don't really use much of the extra unlimited time, though getting to 35 minutes without rushing on reading in particular has been really tough for me.
