I don’t know if it’s entirely in my head or the new tests I’ve sat for (Sept & Oct) genuinely do feel way different, but if it’s the latter, what’s the best advice you can give to be prepared for the CURRENT version of both LR and RC? There’s only so much material via PT150-159 and I’m kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place.

if it’s the former then let me know also. I’ve heard some people speak of a so-called “shift” around PT 151 and didn’t know how much merit there is to that. At whatever rate, any advice is greatly appreciated!

EDIT: Also, if it is in fact different, can you elaborate on what makes it different, and how to know and prepare for that difference?

Hey everyone! I'm Andrea. I've been teaching the LSAT for eight years. Have done several thousand sessions and worked with hundreds of students. I've taught big classes and webinars, small groups, and infinite one-on-ones. I've also written LSAT curriculum for a major prep company, where I'm their RC specialist, and dive deep on advanced LR work.

I also do a lot of law school admissions consulting/personal statement help, I worked with the admissions team as an admissions fellow at Harvard Law.

My biggest strength is diagnosis. After thousands of sessions with all different kinds of students, I've seen it all ten times over, so I quickly find the specific knowledge gaps, habits, and weaknesses holding back individual test-takers. I can see what problems you're likely to get wrong/right and why, can see how far you are from where you want to get, so I mix up a custom framework for getting you there and give you the fixes that work for the kind of test taker that you specifically are

I also specialize in strategies for test-taking anxiety. This is such a blocker for people! Lots to offer here.

Message me if you'd like to chat!

Just wanted to see if anyone else's SageAI is glitching? I don't think I've run out, but mine is stuck on thinking after asking it to analyze my results for a timed section I did (it took a few messages to get it to do anything). This only started for me this morning, so I wanted to see if anyone else was experiencing this issue, or maybe I'm just out of SageAI (hopefully not) and I don't know it.

Good morning everyone,

I am sharing this post because I want to encourage all of you as well as myself! :)

It has been about 3 weeks since I began my LSAT prep with 7 Sage. At first, I totally had no idea what to study or where to start.

I am currently working at an accounting firm in the US and during the break timed, I have practiced the Logic Link Game.

At first, I didn't even know what the sufficient and necessary conditions were and I couldn't pass even the easiest one as a natural consequence.

However, just a week later, distinguishing bewteen necessary and sufficient conditions has became a piece of cake YEAH!

I didn't expect this to happen so early but effort and time we put never betray us!

I sincerely encourage you all, and let's keep going!

With grace and peace,

God bless you!

(Thank you 7 Sage Team, always!)

If you keep rereading RC passages, or flipping back to them on every question, this class is for you.

I'm running a free live class every Saturday, 9 to 10am Mountain (11am ET / 10am CT / 8am PT). It starts October 17 with a two-week RC series, then a new skill each week after that. Only 10 spots for now, so it stays small enough for real discussion.

Register here: https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/soq1FwpWTQaHV-zwg2eb6A

Can't make it? Register anyway and I'll send you the recording.

Week 1 (Oct 17): Reading RC for reasoning structure. Most people read passages for the details, then get lost when the questions ask about the argument. I'll teach you to read for structure instead: whose view is whose, where the author lands, and what each paragraph is doing. Then we'll work a real passage together and break down the misses live.

Week 2 (Oct 24): Attacking the RC question stem. Once you can see the structure, the next place points leak is the stem. You read it, decide what it's asking, and go hunting for the wrong thing before you've looked at a single answer choice. A stem pointing at the whole passage means the answer won't hinge on a small detail, so you shouldn't need to go back. A stem pointing at one sentence means the opposite. I'll teach my routine for reading stems, then we'll run real questions together.

Free RC Handouts

I've put together RC handouts that cover everything in this two-week series. Comment below and I'll send them over, whether or not you can make it. And tell me which RC question type reliably costs you the most. I pick future topics from the replies.

About Me

My name is Tanner. I studied harder for the LSAT than anything in my life, reviewed every question, put in the hours, and my score stayed flat. The problem was blind spots I couldn't see on my own. I eventually went from a 151 to a 177, and I've spent the four years since coaching over 1,000 hours one-on-one. I also went through most of college not knowing I had ADHD, so I spent years assuming I was lazy when I just learned differently than I was being taught. That's why I now specialize in coaching students with ADHD, and it shapes how I coach everyone. Most students don't need to grind harder. They need to find the one thing holding them back.

It's usually narrower than they think. One student understood RC passages fine but kept missing the questions about the whole passage. Every time, she'd go searching for the one sentence that proved her answer, and on those questions there usually isn't one. That habit was keeping her at a 172. Fixing it got her to a 176, and it's exactly what we'll work on in Week 2.

One-on-One Tutoring

If you find the class helpful and want one-on-one tutoring, I offer a free 20 to 30 minute consultation. After that, coaching is $180/hour, and if you decide not to continue after your first session, I'll refund it 100%. Text 801-645-3233 or email tanner.call@law.byu.edu.

Hi! I’m looking for help with personal statement and other essays. I have a 172 LSAT and 3.98. Willing to negotiate prices!

Hello everyone! Anyone interested to join a study group in ID?

I haven’t been sick for a year, now I’m rewriting the LSAT on Tuesday and I think I’m getting sick, painful sneezing and it kind of hurts to swallow. Everyone please send me your tips asap! Small note I am vegan with the exception of honey, in case anyone is going to leave food tips. I’m already very hygienic so this is bothersome.

Bro how do you guys read these passages in 1 to 2 minutes. I spend 3 to 4 minutes and still drop a question or two occasionally...open to tips.

Everywhere I have been seeing says to get your application in as soon as possible as the longer you wait, the more it minimizes acceptance/scholarship funds. I took the LSAT in September and got a 150 (had some personal life things going on) and am registered to take the test again in November. While I understand ambitious, I want to get within the 165`s. If I take the November test and not satisfied, am I hurting myself by taking the LSAT again in January?

Keep in mind, I am a nontraditional student who works a demanding job, that requires variable hours and travel schedule.

Hi guys, I've been stuck in the 150s for the past month and I plan to take the LSAT again in November (I took the one in October; I'm not sure how it went). Any advice on how I should practice/study this upcoming month to reach at least a 160? My blind reviews also land me in the 160s and the feedback I get on 7Sage is that my underlying skills are in the 160+ level already. Just want to be able to actually get into the 160s on PTs and timed sections.

Does anyone recommend a specific time to get there? The meet-and-greet portion is 10:30-12:00 and 1:30-4:00. I saw a Reddit post from 7 years ago saying that the crowds in the morning are INSANE, and it might be a little more strategic to go in the afternoon. Can anyone who has been to one before speak to this?

Hi! So I took the October LSAT and am signed up for November. My average score at the moment is around a 167 (175 average BR) and I’m looking to push that into the 170s range by my November test date. I’m looking for someone who is going to charge at or less than $100/ hour (after a consultation) and has experience tutoring the LSAT. I’ve self studied until this point and after being in the 160s slump, I’m really looking for someone who can clearly point out what my weaknesses are and how to target them specifically (one of which is very often second guessing)- how to clearly differentiate which answer is correct when down to those last 2 options. If this might be something you could work with, please let me know! Thank you!

Anyone in NYC looking for a study buddy 🙂

for those of us that are data/health geeks, it would be really cool to see a feature where you can put in factors like what time of day you took a PT, how many hours of sleep you got the night before, whether or not you exercised, if you ate, etc., so you can see how these factors affect your performance on your PTs!

hi! i was wondering if there was a way to have multiple ways to drill? currently, when you do an adaptive drill, it operates as a session, so when you're done you can review how you did in this set. while this is great, it would also be nice if there was a way to continuously drill without having to submit the section, if that makes sense? like if i wanted to just drill for fun on my phone, it feels like it would be easier to just have it as an infinite session rather than it being a drill set. ty!

I gave my first LSAT on October 10th, and I didn't think it went that great. I was really bummed out after doing it, cuz I know it did not go as well as I wanted it to go.

But then I remembered that I overcame one of my biggest flaws. I tend to always quit things when they get difficult, and have a problem of fully committing to something. Studying for the LSAT was difficult, mentally draining, fatiguing, required a lot of committment, and at times it seemed like it wasn't meant for me. I still pulled through, I gave that test, and I am very proud of myself for that.

I know there might be a lot of you that might not be happy about how your test went, but it's okay, it's not the end of the world. You did the hardest part, which was studying and taking that LSAT. We're all gonna become lawyers, so keep believing in yourself, and keep going till you make it to the finish line.

Hi guys!

I need help formatting my diversity essay.

Many have a short, one-page, double-spaced requirement, so there isn't much room to tell my story, and that is where my issue comes in.

Should I focus more on my story, or mention more about the school? If so, how am I supposed to do that? I find myself explaining my diverse background, why it made me who I am, and why I specifically look for diverse communities/spaces/environments, and that I would look for and contribute to the school by making a community (I would do this by tying it back to my story, trying not to give details on here).

Should I be focusing more on their diversity statements? They all feel the same to me... I think explaining my story gives them real information about who I am and what I bring to the school, rather than restating what they already know.

I am writing my diversity statement for all my law school apps if this helps!

Hello guys

I have a question, when you guys do a section do you review it the same day or go back to it the next day?

Ive been studying for a long time but have struggled to improve beyond high 150's/low 160's. Its difficult to assess how well I am doing when I take a full practice test or even a section with only 25-30% freshness. I dont remember that many of the questions but I still feel like its somehow easier.

Hi folks, as I go through the NU application, I'm struggling with the questions below:

1. What are your career interest(s) immediately after law school? (maximum characters 500)

2. What are your long-term career goals? (maximum characters 500)

What are they looking for here? Especially if I don't have any specifics? I know I want to go to a big law firm somewhere in Chicago or California, and maybe want to pursue some AI/SEC practice group, but I'm pretty flexible and don't really know. Somehow this feels like a trick idk maybe I'm paranoid LOL.

LMK thoughts!

Hi , I am looking for a (female only) because I am a female study group to seriously study with. I am not working at the moment so I am free 24/7 . please reach out to me asap, thanks !

Good evening everybody!

I hope everyone is having a good start to the week. I need some feedback or guidance on how to go about my personal statement. My overall basis is going to be discussing on how I am interested in corporate law, contracts, estate planning and family law. The business side is because my degree was in accounting and I want to learn the basis behind corporations making deals but also protecting themselves. I am interested in family law because I feel a sense of protectiveness over family’s especially children. They are some of the most vulnerable members of our society and I wanna be a protector for them and ensure they get the care and support they need.

My issue comes from how I am supposed to start the statement. “Hi my name is Natalie and I’m interested in law school” or “business and family law are key interests for me”. I’ve only begun starting and I already feel like I’ve hit a wall. I understand I don’t have to write a sob story, not that I have one anyways to write, but I just wanna say “I’ve wanted to learn more about how our system works and how it’s apart of everyday life. I also wanna help people and ensure they don’t get taken advantage of” .

I also don’t have the ability to afford a tutor or someone to review my statement and give me feedback, so if anyone has any recommendations I would appreciate it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated and any feedback would be welcomed. Thank you for reading! -Nat

I was wondering how long people had to wait to hear back on an accommodation request
