Hi everyone! I’ve been having a tough time with RC and my scores on drills and full sections have been pretty low. I’d really appreciate any advice from those who’ve seen improvement in RC—tips, strategies, or anything that helped you would be super helpful.

I plan to take the lsat in April and probably again in June or August 2025. I am looking for people on the same track to meet virtually to push each other to do well come test day!

How often should I be doing practice tests? My goal is a 170 on the June 2026 test and on my last official test I got a 163. Should I be doing a test every week or every other? I work full time so I only study for around 12 hours a week.

So I scored within variance, which is totally expected, but one thing I realized is that my LR is far more superior than my RC, how do I close this gap, I believe if I close the RC gap I will be in the mid 160s, and how can I make my LR even better to the point where it’s -2, -1?

For preface, I know that personally right now I neglected RC in my studying previously, but i was looking for tips and advice on top of doing the RC core curriculum

Post is basically in the title. It would be amazing to see relevant Core Curriculum lessons linked to the questions I am reviewing. For example, if I'm diving into question 23 in section x from prep test ###, I'd want to see what Core Curriculum lessons would've helped me get that question correct. If it was a question that required deeper knowledge of casual reasoning, or the Some to All argument structure, it would be incredibly handy to have links to those Core Curriculum modules.

Does anyone want to study in one of the rooms right now?

Hello! I am looking for study partners who are in the Pittsburgh area who wouldn't mind being a study partner/group. I am taking the April 2026 exam.

Would anyone like to study together in Mumbai? I just started my LSAT journey and am hoping to take the test within 4-6 months. We can create a group to study together or just share ideas/get second opinions on tough practice questions.

I kind of miss the charts 7sage had a while ago, where it's the chart that will show you the total amount of questions you've drilled per day. I think its a slightly cleaner way to keep track of your daily output as well as being kind of gratifying looking at your. consistency. At the very least, bring back the stat in overview noting total number of questions done (including all drills, PTs and sections).

I've been taking timed PTs and then doing BR a little bit after. Each time, my score increases on average 10-15 points. I think part of my problem is timing and stress. Any tips on how I can reduce this gap so my actual PT scores are closer to my BR scores?

hi- I am in the 160's pt range trying to break 170 for the April lsat! Love to gain a study group to keep each other motivated and review together. I don't care what score range you are in, as long as your dedicated to improving and I would love to help if I can - if interested shoot me a message on here.

For the past few weeks, I have been consistently scoring in the high 150s and low 160s on practice tests and scoring in the low 170s during blind review. I am taking the LSAT in April. Does anyone have any advice on how to close this gap between my scores?

We're reviewing our curriculum, and I'd like to hear some candid feedback on 7Sage/s grammar lessons. Did you do them? Did you find them helpful? Did they improve your score?

I have been tackling the LSAT for quite some time now. I have started back studying, but I also work full time. I have been drilling consistently with LR but RC is where I get Overwhelmed. A lot of people say to take practice tests but I’m too nervous because when I get to RC I feel like what I’m reading is just a blur. I will read a full passage and think “What in the world are they talking about”. I feel stuck

anybody in South Orange County want to start an in person study group ??? I will be studying on the weekends and taking the June LSAT LMK! :)

I just got my scores back for the February LSAT and got a 156. Honestly, better than anticipated as most of my PT's were in the 154's. My goal is to wait a cycle and then take the test in June and August. What is the best path to a 170+?

i'm getting pretty distressed because it seems like the more studying/practice i do, the more questions i get wrong. i got a great score on my first practice test, but i was right up against the timer on each section, and it felt like i was wasting time doubting my answers. since then i've been trying to be more confident in my answers and move more quickly, but then i keep falling for trap answers. my second practice test was abysmal even though i felt like i did great. now my confidence is shot and i'm spending an inordinate amount of time on each question. does anyone else have this same experience and have any advice on the confidence/time management tradeoff?

Anyone want to become study buddies for the June test date online or in person in the Atlanta metro area?

LSAT HELP! Limited Progress

Hello everyone, I've been studying for the LSAT for about a year now and I am still struggling. I thought I would make this post to get some much-needed help from the 7Sage Community . I will do my best below to outline my struggles. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Background: I have had limited progress in the year. I took a diagnostic at 1:49 since then I have been only doing time sections and untimed sections. I have averaged about 15/26 correct but have gotten as high as 19/26

The issues

1. Timing: this has been one of the biggest issues with me when I do sections or questions untimed I get them right. Then when I do time sections, I make a little mistakes on easy questions usually, like question two or seven something like that usually 1 to 3 star questions.

And I know that I'm doing something different on drills versus when I'm doing timed sections, but I don't know exactly how to replicate this in my timed work

2. Diagnosis: I'm not exactly sure how to diagnose my own issues so what I've been doing is when I take a time to section any question that I miss what I do is for the next week I'll focus on that question this week was NA questions, and I really go through them slow, but I don't know a specific plan or specific set of actions to get better at the questions that I'm missing.

3. The stimulus: usually I do a pretty good job of understanding the stimulus when there's an argument, present understanding the gap and the reasoning, but then I get into the answer choices, and I struggle in the answer choices, especially with vague language and understanding what they say.

I'm just going all out here asking for your help everyone. I already put off going to law school for one year and I don't want to do it again. I have received much help from people on here and I greatly appreciate it.. I'm not opposed to getting a tutor and I'm wondering maybe if that's what it's gonna come down to., but also scared that what if I pay for a tutor and don't end up improving anyway. What has worked for everyone ? Like what are some specific things that I can do specific drills practices stuff like that because often I've gotten an advice before from people that seems to be very general like while you just need to keep practicing. I'm at a point where I think I've practiced a lot and I'm just feel like I'm spinning my circles.

Thank you everyone in advance for reading the long post. Also feel free to inbox me. I have posted on here before, and I lucked out and found a tutor or somebody with the same experience as me., that had some really valuable insight !!! Help please

Is there a correlation between focusing too much on perfection, best score, fully locking in and performing poorly. Does this correlation actually lead to that causation Lol. Does our brains performance genuinely get hampered when we are focusing too much on getting the best results? Is it subconscious? How to avoid it? Or if anyone has experienced a similar thing and overcame it? Any insights or discussion would be appreciated it.

For the argumentative writing section, should I be drawing from outside sources? I did one of the practice ones on LSAC and I didn't think the instruction was clear enough. And am I to argue from one of the positions that LSAC gives samples of in response to the prompt? I know everyone says its akin to a "are you a human" test but I don't want to screw up on something easy like this for some technical or simple reason.

For example with RC I want to make the passages more difficult (it is giving me like difficulty 3 and below). How do I change that?

I have been going through the core curriculum, taking extensive notes, and drilling. For a couple of weeks, I have not seen much meaningful progress. Are there any indicators that I am indeed progressing? Do I need to spend time on the grammar section if I am not tripped up by the grammar, but rather by the tricks the questions are throwing my way?

So far have taken one PT before even knowing what the exam would look like, and scored a 149. I’ve been studying for about 1-2 hours a day for the past two weeks like a chicken without a head- no direction just watching the core curriculum videos and taking notes in a split screen. When drilling, the types of questions i answer correctly and incorrectly fluctuate, and there isnt really a pattern of any sorts.

I’m seeking any advice people found helpful from others, or something that people wish they knew when they started studying. Scrolling through these messages, Ive seen a ton of others get tremendously helpful advice- anything and everything is appreciated. Thank you all and best of luck on your Law School endeavors!
