😔 sad

Just got my lsat score

Hi I did not do good. I got a 147. I am retaking in January of 2026. I want to improve my score within 2 months. I studied from June until October.

Hi! Today has been a bit of a gut punch. I've been full-time studying since May, PT’d a 169, 170, 176 and 171 leading into October, but got a 167 on the October exam. My GPA is a 3.93 and my dream school is Georgetown. I ideally would like to be competitive for the T-14s even though I’m open to T-30 schools. I know law school applications are at a high and applying at the end of November vs end of October can be detrimental.

Do I drop everything, hunker down, and take the November exam (I scheduled it for backup) or take my chances with what I have now to be able to apply earlier?

I appreciate any advice! ❤️

January LSAT?

Hi everyone,

I'm currently due to be taking the November LSAT here soon but I am at least 5 points off of where I want to be at the low/mid 160s with a 3.7 GPA. Will I be screwing myself over by taking the January LSAT and looking to apply this cycle? I'm not looking for T30 or even T80. Just want some opinions if the score boost will be worth the later applications.

Thanks

LSAT

Hey

I got a 152 on my Oct LSAT unfortunately and I’m looking for advice. Do I try again in January for a score boost or do I apply next cycle. I’m applying in Canada so most apps are due on the 1st of Nov. my apps are done and my undergrad I’m currently in is Engineering. Is it worth doing a masters/ work experience then revisiting law school after or try to push myself for the January one

I’m looking for I guess things to do differently if I am writing in Janurary. Is it worth it to try especially when it will be a blind score being attached to my applications. I was scoring consistently 160 on Pts leading up to it so I don’t know what happened tbh.

I’m just upset with myself so any help would be extremely appreciated, I also don’t know if I should cancel my score or not or leave it.

My accommodation request was denied and now LSAC says my account is on hold for registration.. I am stressed as I only have two days I can write the exam and hope to take it online (this is for the November 2025 testing)

I've emailed accommodations and have had no response.... help!

Essayist: The historical figures that we find most engaging are very rarely those who are morally most virtuous. What most commonly distinguishes them is their bravery and creativity. Thus, moral virtue is not among the characteristics that we admire most, since the people whose lives we would most like to live are those with characteristics we admire most.

Which one of the following is an assumption required by the essayist's argument?

A) The historical figures that we find most engaging are those lives we would most like to live.

B) Bravery and creativity are characteristics that makes it more difficult to be morally virtuous.

C) Historical figures are very rarely morally virtuous.

D) People develops their conception of what makes an individual admirable based on what they know about historical figures

E) Moral virtue is the characteristics of historical figures that we find least engaging.

Why is the correct answer A and not B?

Scared

I am just really nervous for the November LSAT. I have been studying a lot but I can never shake the nervous feeling.

6

I have been studying for the LSAT for a while and am seeking to study with a small group of people that I can view as accountability partners. I want to be able to walk through each question to explain why each right answer is right and why the wrong answer is wrong. I feel as if I have hit a plateau, and I want to take the necessary steps to break through to my goal score.

Currently, I am testing in the mid to low 160's and have an end goal of reaching the high 160's or lower 170's. I understand the fundamental principles and have been working to get my accuracy as high as possible, as that is the only way to score in the higher range.

I am open to a virtual or in-person group; I am based in Austin for college and will be in Houston once I graduate.

17

I came across a question that said something along the lines of "In a survey 60% of participants said yes and 40% said no" and the conclusion was "This shows more people believe yes than no" (Granted the question was much more nuanced and another flaw was present but thats besides the point of my question).

One of the ACs said "They draw a conclusion about the population in general based on only a sample of the population"

Even though I got this question correct because I saw the other flaw in the argument, the AC above was wrong which confused me because the explanation why it was wrong specifically said "there is nothing inherently flawed about drawing a conclusion from a sample. What would be flawed is relying on an unrepresentative sample".

Does this mean that if it said "We surveyed NYC, here are the results, therefore more people say yes than no" would be correct? or is it incorrect because it included information regarding the sample. In the question above there was no information regarding how the survey was conducted or who was a part of it but, they still made a generalization of the population from whatever sample they surveyed.

1

On PT110.S2.Q23, I had each conditional, contrapositive, and chain mapped out correctly; however, I still got the question wrong. I watched the video explanation, and I'm still stumped. I can't understand how any of the answers are correct, because they all seem wrong. The correct answer is E, and I see where ONE of the conditions (inspires revulsion -> threatening) is met; however, the answer choice includes the word "and," so, it seems like both conditions would need to be met? But the second condition (physically dangerous -> threatening) is NOT met--the correct answer explicitly says the monster is NOT physically dangerous. Can someone help me understand why E is still correct?

anyone else just get screwed over? was low in que on time, got in picked sat and my time went to complete and site crashed. had to go back in... site crashed again... got back in and only had 4:45 for the 7th available. Absolutely got f'ed over.

Kevin Lin

To be fair, I have heard great things about 7Sage for a long time, but Kevin Lin is the reason I'm here. I'd really like to take a class that he is confirmed to be teaching. Tutoring would be great too, if possible. Can anyone advise?

Going backwards!!!!

I am writing the LSAT in November. I was on a pretty good trajectory until this week. I am drilling causal reasoning and getting most wrong. I do not know what is going on. I go on the lives for CR, and at the time seem to understand, and then I drill and I am still stuck. Any ideas? What the heck am I not getting - rhetorical question, Ha! Anyone feeling like this?

10

Can a feature be added where we can filter questions for our drill based on if they were done a while ago (i.e. over a month ago)? Like if I am running out of questions for a certain question type, it would be great for the drill to select any fresh questions i have and then pick any seen/answered questions that were not recent (so there's less of a chance of doing them recently and remembering the right answer). Thanks!

Hello! I've been thinking about this for a while, but it would be helpful to create a custom review set. For example, I'm trying to review all of the questions I got incorrect the first time and got correct in blind review to see my conceptual gaps. The only problem is to see my "actual take" and "blind review" answer choices, I have to go all the way to "review" for the Preptest the question came from. For single question from a drill set, that isn't really possible since I haven't done the whole exam or if I look for the drill set the question came from (hard when you've done so many questions). Otherwise, my only other option is to click on the magnifying glass or go to the explanations tab to review the question (which doesn't show my previous answer choices). Maybe there is a way to do this and I'm not aware - please let me know if that's the case! Thanks a bunch! :)

NYC Study Group

Would anyone be interested in a weekly study group in the NYC area in prep for the Jan LSAT? Virtual options are welcomed as well! I was thinking possibly two sessions per week (one in person and one via Zoom). Please reach out if interested:)

Flaws about Samples

I recently did a spot the flaw question where it said something along the lines of "We did a survey and 50% of people surveyed believed if A then B and 25% of people surveyed believed if B then C. Therefore more people believe if A then B compared to if C then B"

I saw two flaws here:

1) They draw a conclusion about the population in general based on only a sample of the population (we do not know who many were surveyed)

2) They have a mistaken conditional where they switched if B then C to if C then B

The problem was that EACH were mentioned in the answer choices with #2 being correct.

The explanation why 1) was wrong is "there is nothing inherently flawed about drawing a conclusion from a sample. What would be flawed is relying on a unrepresentative sample, but thats not what 1) says"

This explanation threw me for a loop. I understand unrepresentative as in "We asked 10,000 kids so it applies to the whole population" because these are different groups

BUT does this mean if it said "We asked 10 people, 50% said yes and 25% said no so more people believe yes" it wouldn't be a flaw?

OR

Because the question did not mention anything about the sample, there is no way for the sample to be unrepresentative for the argument even if we draw a conclusion about people in general for the sample like if the argument said "We conducted a survey and 60% said they believe in Santa and 40% said they do not, so more people than not believe in Santa" is not a flawed argument

If you want to find the exact question it starts with "A recent survey showed that 50 percent of people polled believe that elected officials"

Hi all -

I took an extended break from studying and am currently working a new job after declining admittance into law school. I believe that if I am able to give myself ample time to study, then I will be able to make a better score, get better scholarships, and in turn get into a better school.

Does anyone have any advice as to how to get back into studying? I previously used 7Sage and was wondering what the pros/cons of using it would be. Thank you all!

Hey everyone!

I am talking the November LSAT and am wondering if there are specific PT's I should do before the test arrives. Are there PT's that will most closely resemble this month's LSAT by virtue of being more recent, or is one PT as good as any other?

And one more question. I am aiming for a score above 165, but a score above 160 will do. I have been PT'ing between 163-166 with an average of 165, and as long as this doesn't drop dramatically on test day I am in a good place. Any tips to ensure test-day performance doesn't drop below the average PT score? I am taking the test at an in-person centre (wasn't offered another option).

Best of luck to all the other November LSAT takers!

My BR is easily 20 - 25 points higher than my timed conditions PTs.

I am understanding concepts but application under time is actually ruining my faith in my comprehension of this stuff. I completely crack under time. Not characteristic of me, truly.

I take the November LSAT with a goal score of 160. I am testing at 149 - 153.

Not going for a top school.

My diagnostic was 140 8 months ago. I've been burning out studying the past 3 months diligently. The first 5 months were a wash. Yes I spent a ton of time in core curriculum the first 5 months on the old 7sage platform. I have been a live class member since I started with 7sage.

In a tight spot. Give me anything you have to break through this wall I keep hitting.

If nothing else, it felt good to just spill to the group haha.

BR Issues

Anyone else having weird inconsistency in which questions are recommended for BR? In the past few days, I have been recommended to BR questions I got right on the first pass and am 10-15 seconds under the target time. It really throws me off and doesn't help my confidence in the moment. Is this a 7Sage glitch or an update in the BR process?
