Hi! Im currently trying to study for the LSAT and am thinking that having people (or even one person) would help for quicker learning and keeping ourselves honest. I really don’t care about PT, or what level, anyone is welcome! I was hoping for in person studying though so Long Beach Area would be great!

Hi! I have been studying for a few months now and plan on taking the LSAT in June and August. I am looking to study as much as possible and think it would be helpful to have a study group in the area! Looking for others to join that also want to put in as much time as possible

Hey i've been studying for the test for the year and a half with raging add. I raised my score by 4 points but am looking for someone to help raise it more and make it fun. I also study better with someone it helps me stay accountable and focus. I'm taking my test on January 8th as well as again in April. Please let me know if interested.

I'm currently running into an issue where, during blind review, my test-taking interface will begin timing out when I switch between questions. The problem persists after clearing my browser cookies, restarting my computer, and trying to use 7sage on different computers; I've also seen other users post about the same glitch. The interface also has generally been quite slow/irresponsive during blind review as well. I'd appreciate any help with this, since it makes the test taking interface functionally unusable. Thanks!

Looking for an LSAT study partner at a similar level. I’m PTing 169–176 (goal 175) and usually 0 to -2 on sections. Want someone who’s also consistently 0 to -2 to hold each other accountable while working through new content, regular check-ins + occasional calls to review misses and patterns.

DM me your PT range + what you’re focusing on.

hi! please see question above? ive been doing slow work-throughs of LR sections, reviewing the questions I get wrong thoroughly (or what i think is thorough--identifying why wrong ACs are wrong, why the rigjt one is right). ive started to incorporate time, yet i am still in the same place of usually getting -3 to -4 wrong. i know it doesnt feel drastically different, yet i have been at this plateau for the past 3/4 months. I don't want to believe that I can't get better!! is there something I'm missing?

i've done some drills based on identified weaknesses (strengthen/weaken/NA). but i don't feel as though there are types that I can identify as consistently missed.

RC Timing

anybody have any tips on how i can improve my timing on RC? I’m hardly ever able to get through all 4 passages during a timed PT. i usually have 1-5 mins left when I get to the last passage :/

Hitting a road block

I have been studying for months for the LSAT and took it in November, where I got a 143. Did not want to keep a score that low, so I am taking it again in January. I have been working with a tutor to help since November, and took a practice test today where I scored a 135. I don't know what I'm doing wrong or how I'm not improving

For sufficient assumption questions I am a bit confused of whether or not we are allowed to use the contrapositives of the argument for the answer. For example if we have

A

B

the link we need to make is A->B but if one of the answers are /B->/A would that be the right answer choice?

Hi all, I wanted to see if anyone here is as new as I am to the LSAT studying. I am in the very early stages where I still learn concepts and basics. Please reach out if you are in similar state and wish to track with someone. Maybe we can do a study group.

Running out of PTs/sections

Hey y'all, I've been studying with 7Sage for a while and was wondering if anyone's run into a problem with running out of material to use and how you've gone about practicing in that context. I'm not sure if my analytics are publicly visible but if anyone's able to check, it might clear up the problem I'm facing.

From a combination of doing full length PTs as well as timed sections, I've now used up 23 full practice tests out of the 59 ones available. But of the ones remaining, I've used quite a decent chunk of them for drills, so none of them are 100% fresh. The freshest I've found are around 80% fresh, but most are only 50-70% fresh, with a few sub-50%.

Given this, I've kind of hit a cross-roads with what PTs and even timed sections I can do. I worry that if I take any of these remaining tests as full PTs or even just as individual timed sections, there's a good chance I will have already seen and done numerous questions on the test, and therefore my scores won't actually be reflective of my true performance on an actual PT.

I see 3 options, each with their own pros and cons.

  1. I bite the bullet and just use these tests as full PTs or sections, regardless of how fresh they are. While there are going to be questions I've seen and therefore I might have a slightly inflated score as to how I'm doing, at least the questions will be representative of the modern LSAT and I'm sure there's still great value in doing the questions I haven't seen in the setting of a timed PT specifically.

  2. There are a set of older bonus PTs (PTs 7-18, A, 21, 23, and F97?) that the PrepTest pool settings have specifically disabled that I could use. On the one hand, there's obviously no problem of having seen these questions before because I haven't even touched them. But the reason these tests are disabled is because 7Sage says they're not necessarily representative of the modern LSAT. 1 huge gap is that there aren't any comparative passages on RC and lord knows I could practice those. I might also be wrong about this, but I don't think there are explanations for these questions, which might make review tougher.

  3. I ignore PTs and sections entirely. There are still plenty of modern LSAT questions in the settings I have that I haven't touched, and I can still drill these by making Frankenstein LR or RC sections if needed. Of course, these drills won't be structured like the way an actual section of a PT would be, where difficulty starts low generally and ramps up. These sections would have random difficulty interspersed throughout. This would also only be for individual sections, since I don't think the drilling tool lets you construct a whole PT's worth of questions. The individual questions would be fine to use, but I worry that I'd be losing practice in the context of the specific PT in the lead up to my January test.

Also not sure how important this is, but I did take PT 159 when it was first released by LSAC. No experimental, no explanations, but for all intents and purposes, I have done most of that test, even if it not necessarily on 7Sage.

Any insights on how to handle this? I'm probably overthinking things and maybe there isn't a huge difference among these options. There could also be some hybrid or totally out of the box options I haven't considered. Interested to know anyone's thoughts!

I've enjoyed the ability for 7sage to put together a study plan that utilizes the data I've fed it to cater to what it thinks I should focus on. However, one of my biggest gripes is the inability to open a suggested item into a new tab which then requires me to make my way back to the study plan after the completion of each suggested task. It's a small bit of friction but also one I feel like shouldn't be necessary.

It would also be nice if it remembered which blocks I've minimized but that's secondary to just wanting to open a task in a new tab so that I don't have to make my way back to the study plan each time.

I’ve been tutoring the LSAT for about 5 years and will have a few openings after the January exam. I’m looking to take on a small number of motivated students for the next few months who are seeking sustainable score gains. I am passionate about teaching this test and helping students achieve their goals.

I scored a 180 and studied while working 20+ hours a week and attending a competitive undergrad, so I’m very familiar with balancing LSAT prep with a busy schedule. Because of that, I keep my rates affordable and focus heavily on efficient, structured studying rather than busywork. I spend a lot of my personal time outside of sessions helping my students, answering questions. This test opened many doors for me so I value its importance and being able to push my students properly toward their goals and hold them accountable during the week with the work I assign.

Rates (new students):

Free 20-minute strategy session

• $75/hr single session

• 5 hours – $350 ($70/hr)

• 10 hours – $650 ($65/hr)

• 15 hours – $900 ($60/hr)

• 20 hours – $1000 ($50/hr)

My approach is hands-on: we review PTs together, break down hard question types, clean up bad habits, and I give feedback/check-ins during the week so progress continues between sessions.

If you’re aiming for more consistency, higher scores, or want structured guidance heading into spring tests, feel free to reach out, very happy to chat or help.

First, the cold details: I went from a 158->172 in a few months, I have five years of experience in teaching/tutoring at all levels, I am a professional editor (so I can help with application materials as well), and I charge $50/hour.

My most recent success was bringing a student from a 161 PT score to a 171 on test day in just over a month of lessons with me!

I also offer an introductory call for 30 minutes (which you can organize via my booking page: https://doodle.com/bp/alexandravanzutphen/introductory-session) so that you can see if your style matches mine, and I NEVER 'hard-cut' my lessons at 60 minutes, leaving time for any leftover material that needs covering.

My main motto is 'What, like it's hard?' Because when you crack the LSAT, it really feels like it was much easier than you initially thought it would be. While I have a lot of respect for tutors that have poured countless hours into the test, I believe my unique approach to tutoring can offer something different for those people struggling with high costs and set curriculums.

What do I do differently? Well, first of all, I've recorded videos and have written detailed documents covering ALL the basics, summarizing all the knowledge that I gained from prep-books and early drilling. I also have videos on a wide range of other topics, from test-day psychology to tips on how to improve reading speed/retention.

In our actual lessons, I let the student dictate the content of our session -- whether that's reviewing questions, doing a section together, or even looking over personal statements and additional essays. I like to change my approach based on what the student NEEDS, and so the types of lessons I conduct vary from person to person. For example, my last lesson involved going over conditional logic flashcards with my student.

Most importantly, I genuinely LOVE teaching and seeing improvement in my students -- I used to do this for free, for this very reason, but I needed to gain back some compensation for my time. If you are, however, struggling financially, I'd be happy to negotiate a lower rate over a package deal for my services, or even offer free access to my recorded material.

Study Plan vs. Curriculm

Hi, all! I have been using 7Sage for almost 2 months now. I started by following the study plan, but was quickly overwhelmed by the schedule because I couldn't figure out how to edit it to be 6 days a week, and I quickly fell behind. To combat this, I decided to do the curriculum at my own pace, which is about 1 hour a day/ 5 or 6 days a week. This was working until I realized the curriculum included lessons not in my study plan. This leads me to question the benefits of following the curriculum vs. the study plan. Am I shooting myself in the foot by not following the study plan? If I want to be ready for the June 2026 LSAT, should I be spending more time studying? If I follow the curriculum, should I be doing practice tests in between the modules? Mainly, what is the difference between the curriculum and the study plan?

Page Unresponsive

When I was doing the PT blind review, the page wasn't responsive, and I had to wait several minutes for the next question to load. Has anyone else experienced this issue? I've tried three different computers, used various Wi-Fi networks, accessed it through an incognito window, and ensured my Chrome version was up to date.

Hi, anyone studying around OC area and would like to do study sessions going over strategies, question types, etc for the LSAT? I'm planning to take the test in June and am aiming for a 175-180 score. It's winter break right now and I have lots of free time. Let me know!
