Hi and Happy New Year!

I am fairly new here and am wondering if there is somewhere on the 7Sage site that I can take + find explanations for the Drill Sets that we have access to on LawHub through 'drill sets?'

Thanks for your input!

Hi everyone, does anyone have any helpful tips for closing the bridge between timed scores and BR scores?

Hi everyone, my timed scores currently are in the low150s and my blind review scores are in the mid160s. I started preparing in the summer of 2025 and gave the October attempt and scored in the low150s. I started studying again in mid-November and plan to give the June LSAT. I keep revisiting fundamentals, have a detailed WAJ. I am eager to move into the 170s and willing to put in the work. I am unsure how to design the best study schedule to target the issues I am facing (listed below). For example: at this stage, how should I split time between timed and untimed practice? I would appreciate any guidance on how to move forward. Thank you so much!

Major Issues:

• Exporting my learnings from previous questions into new ones instead of treating each questions as its own universe;

• Struggling to develop the attitude of a skeptic as well because I am unsure if I have a complete handle on the question;

• Develop a different way of approaching the questions by moving away from my prephrase;

• Struggling with engaging with answer choices and test each against the stim (especially for harder questions).

Hey all, I am planning to take the LSAT in June 2025 and am looking for a local group to study with in the New York City/Metro area. The group will be hybrid, with at least one Zoom study session and an in-person study session (hopefully) weekly or biweekly!

I am either going to make a Discord, Instagram,or iMessage group so please let me know if you are interested!

hello. I took the lsat today and I’m rlly disappointed in myself. While my strategy improved (I had 2-5 mins to review my answers), i felt that I didn’t perform up to my potential of 155-160 (got a 162 br in last pt). I worked so hard and saw so much improvement that I’ve never seen in myself before in these past couple of months. And it’s now all down the drain— I never had this feeling of not performing up to my potential after a test before. I did not even feel this way in my last two attempts (which I admitted to myself they were a complete disaster. No concept of time management). I tried to relax and restore my confidence which worked for me in the second half of the test. But I feel that I’ll get the same 149 score as before and that I failed at reaching my potential. I was hoping to apply now with my Jan lsat score.

Is it normal for anyone to feel this way?

Hi there,

My name is Carl, and I've been tutoring the LSAT since the early 2000s, online and in person. These days I mostly work online over Zoom.

I would never tell someone that it's impossible to self-study for the test or that a tutor is absolutely required, by any means. I would say, however, that having the right guidance at the right moment in your studies can both save you a lot of frustration and streamline the process of improving your score. I can guide you from the beginning of your studies or step in as a troubleshooter when you hit a sticking point. I can take a look at the work you've done recently and try to diagnose what's holding you back and provide you with a recommendation of the best next steps to take in the short term and in the long term.

Two people scoring in the 170s might tackle the test in completely different ways. My job as a tutor is not to turn you into a carbon copy of me, but to help you find the combination of techniques and methods that will get you the score you want. Sure, there are certainly some required skills on the test--some questions are impossible, for example, if you don't know what a contrapositive is. But there's also a lot of leeway. There's no one-size-fits-all approach, and I tailor my lessons to you and your needs.

I specialize in helping people move the needle who've been stuck on a plateau for a long time. I also offer a free one-hour evaluation session to all potential clients, an hour for us to meet, discuss your troubles, have me demonstrate my tutoring style, and have you ask any questions you have. So, please, reach out if you'd like to schedule an evaluation with me to see if I can help you.

To begin, no matter what I do, unless the questions is super easy, I cannot identify what is necessary for a conclusion to be true. I've tried finding a stategy that works for me, but nothing is clicking.

Common suggestions that don't work and why:

Negation technique - Even if I negate something and say it's not true, when I look back at the stimulus the conclusion no longer seems wholeheartedly sound. But it ends up being wrong all the time. Even if I negate something, I cannot identify why it's necessary or not.

Must be True - I suck at MBT questions, but even those are easier than NA's. But again, for the same reason as above, I can't look at a question and identify what is necessary for the argument to be true.

Identify the Gap - Most of the time I ask myself, why does P-> C, which I know is used for Sufficent questions, but it's the only stategy that actually feels like a stategy. But I can't identify a gap or flaw in the logic, becuase 9/10 I'm wrong.

Is there any other stategy to tackling these questions than using the negation technique that could help me identify what is necessary for an argument to take place?

Hi guys,

So I'm signed up for feb exam and I don't think I know enough, I keep scoring 138-145. I don't know how to lock-in and do it, does anyone recommend a good study schedule? and like how can I attack questions. I'm so stressed and its not helping I need a 157-160 to get accepted into the only school I wanna apply to.

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.

Hi all!

I work with 165–175 scorers looking to move from -2 to -6 to -0/-1 on the LR section of the LSAT, and am currently taking up to two students.

Bio

• #1 ranked social sciences student in my year at Yale

• −0 average across last 5 timed LR sections, −1 average across last 15 (official score pending, Jan. administration)

• Background in competitive debate, experience teaching students at all levels

Structure

• No upfront commitment

• 30-minute consultation call to assess fit

• Weekly meetings

• Discounts available for FAFSA students

Tutoring Focus

I specialize in last-mile LR improvement for students hoping to achieve scores in the 170/175+ range. I help with issues that standard prep methods stop addressing once you already understand the logic:

• Timing under uncertainty

• Precise question-type control

• Avoiding attractive wrong answers without over-elimination

Most −2 to −6 scorers miss questions not due to conceptual gaps, but because they:

• Commit too early under time pressure

• Misidentify what the question is actually asking

• Eliminate correct answers for the wrong reason

My sessions are designed to diagnose and fix these failure modes under real test-time conditions, giving you structure and confidence to ace coin-flip questions.

If interested, please fill out the following form: https://forms.gle/EZabFT9qxMF4JJs26. If you have any questions, feel free to comment in thread!

EDIT: Wow, thanks for the strong interest everyone!

Given my limited capacity, I'm going to pause new consultations for now, but feel free to fill out the form if you are interested. I will keep a waitlist and will be in touch if there's a good fit / spots open up.

Hey! I’m looking to start a study group — we can meet online or in person in the Orlando area. Let me know if you’re interested! We got this :)

I'm still kinda on the sidelines about the enitre "going to law school" thing, and I just took my first full PrepTest with no practice/knowledge about the LSAT. I got a score of 163, and I was wondering if it would be worth for me to spend my time and energy on studying for the LSAT... I don't really want to take the exam multiple times, and I would preferably take the June 2026 exam.

Would it be unreasonable for me to shoot for a mid-170s for the June 2026 exam based on what I have right now?

I am currently working toward the April LSAT, just couldn't make the February one. Looking for some people in Atlanta who might want to pair up and work together as we go through this. I don't mind simply chatting online as well but looking for someone on a similar timeline who might be able to keep me accountable and help the journey. Currently, I am working on the Argument Parts of the curriculum, so almost done with Logic, but man I still struggle with these questions at times so could use a buddy or several I can bounce ideas off of. Just let me know if you're interested and where you're at in the journey!

Thanks and have a great day!

Hello! I am in need of a study buddy (would even organize an in-person study group if there's enough people!) around Atlanta, GA. Was thinking meetings could be 2-3x a month. Please let me know if interested!

Hi! I’m wondering whether, and to what extent, your speed improved over time on sections or practice tests. I am happy with my score, but right now I am taking double time on everything. Should I expect that over time, my score will stay the same while my time decreases?

Do you have any tips for getting faster?

Thank you so much for your help! :)

If I have a couple of LSATs on file, and I believe the new one I took was a significant dip, is it worth buying Score Preview? Like I have a pretty big trend increase to 160-high, but I think this January test went horribly. I can see myself going down from a 160-high to a 160 flat. Does buying the score preview and canceling it make sense? I only took the test in January because I felt I could do a 3-5 point jump and break into a mid 170s.

Finally test day @2:30pm today! Just wanna take the time to say good luck to everyone who has/will be taking the LSAT. This platform and community has been so encouraging, and a great resource. For anyone just starting, use this discussion board to vent! Realizing you’re not alone makes all the difference. Good luck everyone, thanks for all the support, and God bless!

January Test Taker Here. Without revealing anything about the content of the test, the advice I will give is make sure your conditionals are VERY good. Some of the hardest conditional problems I've seen on the Jan test, make sure your conditionals are sharp.

if anyone wants to study together, please inbox me so we can exchange numbers. Aiming for a 170 + !

hey guys I am doing by-type on role questions(argument part) right now.

I go pretty smoothly with easiest and easier questions.

However I get stuck with medium level. I just really wanna ask how I can improve my accuracy on medium difficulty questions. Also one big concern is that there are not enough medium difficulty questions for me to drill. Then I wonder how I know I improve if there is no enough medium questions for me to drill.

Really appreciated if anyone can give me some tips !

Hey, my LSAT brothers and sisters,

I just started studying for the LSAT on January 1st, 2026. I live in the Houston, Texas Area.

Looking to see if anyone wants to join me for the LSAT in August!

Hello. I'm going over the core curriculum and JY tells us in order to negate "all" statements like "A -> B," you make it to "A <-some-> /B." However, in the next lesson, he tells us when you negate "conditional" statements like "A -> B," you negate it to "A and /B." My question is how do we differentiate between the two? Isn't an "all" statement the same as a "conditional" statement? If I say "all dogs are friendly," that is surely an "all" statement and diagramed as the conditional statement "dog -> friendly." Thus, I do not see the difference between the two.

I just scored a 161 on PT147. As BR suggests, timing and time pressure seem to be the issue. I especially struggle with having an RC exp section because RC drains my confidence (and 2 RCs happen to me more often than not it seems like). I don't really have the option of retesting at a later date because I am applying for this cycle and want to improve my existing applications (already submitted with 162) and would not like to delay until next cycle. Does anyone have any suggestions for between now and February? I'm aiming for at least the high 160s. Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share a little context and also ask for advice from anyone who has navigated LSAT prep with ADHD.

I recently realized/was diagnosed with ADHD, and looking back, it explains a lot about my first LSAT experience. I took the LSAT in November 2024, before I fully understood how my brain works, and after that test I took a break. I’m now starting back with a clearer understanding of myself and a more intentional approach to studying.

One thing I’m already noticing is that familiarity and structure make a huge difference for me. When the test feels unfamiliar, my focus drops quickly, but when I understand the question types and patterns, my attention improves a lot. I’m planning to follow the 7Sage study guide closely and really focus on mastering fundamentals rather than rushing.

For those of you with ADHD (or who’ve found strategies that help with focus and consistency), I’d love to hear:

• What study habits or routines helped you the most?

• Did you find drilling vs. full sections more effective early on?

• How did you manage timing, burnout, or mental fatigue?

• Any mindset shifts that made prep feel more manageable?

I really appreciate any insights you’re willing to share. Thanks in advance — it helps a lot to learn from people who’ve been through this.

Best of luck to everyone studying!

I completed my LSAT today. I feel like I flunked. I dont know. I feel like i didn’t get even 1 question right.

I am so done. I am taking Feb too.
