Hi everyone!

I’ve been studying on and off for the LSAT since early 2025, but now that I’ve graduated college, I started taking it more seriously in April of this year. I’m doing okay in LR. I’ve worked my way up to level 3 difficulty and have been getting those questions correct about 70% of the time, although I still have a lot of fluctuation.

So far, I’ve mainly focused on LR since it makes up the majority of the test. Should I keep focusing on LR until I feel more comfortable with it, or should I start incorporating RC now? Do you guys usually alternate sections day by day?

On one hand, I’m worried that if I start RC, I’ll lose momentum and focus with LR. But on the other hand, I’m afraid that if I wait until the end to practice RC, I won’t have enough time to improve and might lose some of my LR skills too.

Hoping to score at least a 160 by September or October. My last PT was a 151.

Hello. I a bit conused on the deadline for the argumentative writing portion of the LSAT. I am taking the LSAT in June and applying to a program with a deadline of July 1st. I know the writing portion opens 8 days before the LSAT so today, but can I take if after I take the LSAT or must it be before?

I have noticed that in the live classes, we don't really solve questions from the newer PTs which are more representative of the current test. I think it would be an excellent idea to have live classes where the teachers go over the newer questions as well because I feel like there's a difference between questions from PT150+ vs PTs from like the 100-140 range. The older questions are more cookie cutter, less tricky, and have more obvious patterns whereas the questions from the newest PTs are more convoluted and harder to comprehend so I would love to see live classes where the teachers break down those questions for us as well.

Feel free to let me know if I'm missing something. Out of the many live classes I attended, I don't think I have ever seen the teachers give us a question from PT 150+ which is why I wanted to propose this idea. If the reason for not including those is because y'all don't want people who still haven't solved those PTs to be exposed to them via live classes, I get it. Maybe the class labels can say something like "Disclaimer: this class will contain questions from the newest PTs (150+)." I hope this makes sense!

Hi everyone,

My name is Aaron, and I am looking for a tutor. I have been struggling a bit and I feel like I need a personal instructor to teach me directly and guide me one on one. I am available all throughout the week with open availability and would like to see if there's a tutor that offers a free first session to determine if we will be a good fit. Regarding the pricing, I would prefer anything that is $100 and below if possible. If you're willing to offer any of this, please let me know! Thank you.

I am graduating from my university in spring of 2027 maybe summer. However I am taking the LSAT in october and then in january if my score is not good. When do law school applications open for fall 2027 cycle and what is the deadline for applications to close? I thought I had more time than I potentially do, I am open to starting law school in the spring as well.

I practiced today but honestly I felt mind of exhausted. I'm so tired of waking up every morning and studying for the exam and today I was just sick of it so much that after taking a practice barely I reviewed anything. I was wondering whether I should take a break tomorrow just relax and try again on Thursday. I did take a break last Friday and Saturday so it's not like I'm working nonstop. Or should I try again tomorrow. I dont think I'm burning out but I'm just tired of it all

HLS Statements

Hello all,

I am planning on applying to Harvard Law this fall and was hoping to get any insight current students or admitted applicants might be willing to share regarding the two application statements. If anyone would be comfortable sharing theirs (even privately), I would really appreciate it.

Also, for those who were accepted, was there anything in particular about your application or writing approach that you think helped you stand out? I know numbers are only part of the equation at schools like Harvard, so I would love to hear any advice or perspective you may have.

Thank you all in advance!

Hey, so I would appreciate literally any answer, but I thought for SA we do P->C. To be fair, the explanations do make sense to me. However, I barely see the P->C thing going on now. I thought the answer choices should be linked to the conclusion, but it seems like right now we're just filling in the gaps. So I want to know how exactly to approach these questions. Or, when do I know when I can use P->C? Any suggestions and tips are GREATLY appreciated.

All in all, I am just so frustated. I take over 15 mins to get even a level 3 question and close to 30 mins to even understand a lvl 4 question. I have about 8 months to study but sometimes it feels like I'm chasing a ghost. I don't even know if I have what it takes.

I'm away and may not be able to respond until Friday June 26. Talk to you then.

I’m a professional LSAT coach and tutor (nerd!) with over 15 years experience and more than 10,000 hours leading live sessions. I specialize in helping people who've gotten stuck and might need a different approach.

Working with me is meant to be an awesome complement to what 7Sage offers. You know they take basically a kitchen sink approach, giving you a comprehensive breakdown of every detail that has ever appeared on any LSAT passage or question. That's a great resource to have, no doubt. But maybe you're a little frustrated or overwhelmed trying to keep up with all that material, or it's too much to remember while you're taking the test.

And maybe only a really small part of that content represents where your extra points are going to come from.

That's where I come in. My take is you should always know exactly how many more points you need, and have specific intentions set around where those points are going to come from. Everything you do to prep should be organized around the path from your baseline to your target score.

In our first meeting, I'll guide you through a set of diagnostic exercises that will help us identify the main reasons why you're making mistakes. You'll leave with my specific personalized recommendations about how to correct those mistakes, including what you should focus on and adjustments to make in your practice and review. A lot of people are good with self-studying after that.

That's a 1 or 1.5-hour meeting, depending on details we'll talk over when we schedule. I'm available daily, mainly 9 to 5 eastern time, but evenings too occasionally.

I also offer a menu of individual lessons, each targeting a key LSAT skill. Some people do these a la carte, others cover them all in a ~1-month course. In any case, our work together will be tailored to your baseline and target scores, and the time you have left before your exam.

  • How to analyze passages

  • How to diagnose LR prompts

  • How to analyze LR answer choices

  • How to analyze RC answer choices

  • LSAT vocabulary: build the all-important skill of precisely parsing the wording

  • How to gain points from review

A lot of people I work with also like live drilling, when we can target a particular question type or argument pattern. That might look like me actively walking you through strategy and helping make sure you avoid mistakes, or me observing mostly quietly and only jumping in when you get stuck or ask for feedback. This guided practice style leads to pretty nice score jumps when it's aimed at content that meaningfully represents your missing points.

How much sense is all this making? I love talking about this stuff, so feel free to send me a message if you have a question or want to talk it over more.

Hi everyone! I'm looking for a group of people to study with to prep for the October LSAT. I gave it a go almost a year ago but got sidetracked due to starting a full time job and I want to be more disciplined in my approach to studying. I live in the OC area so would be down to meet up in person in the evenings after work and can even do online! I look forward to connecting with y'all soon!

Hello, needing some advice! I am at a loss for what to do, I am scoring around a 155 currently which is average for the schools I want to attend. However, with the cost of law schools currently and the job market, I have read it's not really worth it to attend unless you can get a pretty large scholarship. Most scholarship receipts score in the 170s. I am taking the June LSAT and am thinking of just postponing. I just graduated with my bachelor's in marketing and am also applying to business related jobs. I am wondering if I should just take my time studying to ensure I at least get close to a 170 or is it worth it to go into debt? Any advice on what to do? Tia!

Hi friends!

It feels like I'm flying blind right now so I figured I'd reach out to see if anyone has specific suggestions for how to prioritize the months between now and when I take the test in Sept, and how I can ease my anxiety during plateaus.

I just started studying at the end of April and have been working my way through the study plan 7Sage created for me. I'm also trying to get a jump on getting used to section timing, so I've been trying to do at least 1 timed, full section every other day or so. I think in a couple weeks I'd like to bump that up to taking one full practice test every week while I'm still getting through curriculum.

My diagnostic score was solid (161) and I'm aiming high, for a 173+. I've never been great at standardized tests, but this feels like something I can do if I just study for it the right way. Right now, my plan looks like

  • May-end of June --> Focus on getting through curriculum, alternated with taking practice sections and full practice tests in June (20-25 hrs/week)

  • July-end of August --> Practice practice practice; probably start the week with 1 PT, then review what I got wrong, drill specific question types I'm having a hard time with, and then end the week with another PT (15 hrs/week)

I know it's stupid to have expected progress already but I am finding myself a little frustrated reviewing sections and finding that I keep missing around the same # of questions! Is that normal? Is there anything I could be doing differently or better? How does my study timeline look?

Thanks in advance !

Hi Everyone! I've been struggling to stay focused and I hope that starting a daily group would help with that. Would anyone like to study with me every weekday at 5:30 PM PT?

Hi all- does anyone have some tips on something that made them go from the low 170s to mid-high 170s? I feel like it's the difference of a few questions that are keeping me from moving up, and I tell myself to read carefully etc. but it's hard to remember a laundry list of things to do under timed conditions. It's starting to feel like I'm not learning a ton from my WAJ as well. I also notice that I tend to have one more volatile -4 section on my practice tests, that seems to be keeping my score down. Grateful for any tips that helped to make the jump!

Hello everyone, I'm a first-gen college student and immigrant looking for an affordable tutor.

I have been stuck in the 162 score and my goal is to get a 170 by August. I am taking the June LSAT on June 6th and would love 2 sessions before then. I am also registered for the August LSAT. My goal is to break into the 170s by then, and I may sit the September exam if needed.

I have a 3.2 GPA (from a top 20 undergrad), so I am eager to invest in a good tutor who can help me boost my score and admission chances.

I'm looking for a tutor who:

  • Has proven success with other students

  • Sets homework and structured tasks

  • Is engaging and easy to talk to

  • Is available over text/email for any pressing questions

LR Study Buddy

Hi! I am looking for an LR study buddy to meet Monday and Wednesdays to do untimed/timed LR sections on our own and meet 6-8 pm est to review questions we got wrong and make it interactive. Someone with ADHD would be nice and scoring between -0 to -6 max (consistently in the low 160s/ mid 160s).

Also, if you live in NY would love to meet in person! Please message me!

Hello all! I am running into a very frustrating situation that keeps costing me time and points in many question types including strengthen, necessary assumption, and sufficient assumption. Namely, I am dissecting a stimulus and either making the wrong assumptions or missing assumptions. So then, when I have my prephrase that either contradicts a correct assumption, or never regards a correct assumption, I will often ELIMINATE the correct answer because it feels like it contradicts my prephrase, or because I never thought of it.

Could anyone offer any advice on how to get these questions with consistent accuracy, or how to change my thinking habits? I have read all the typical advice, and it doesn't really help me on actual LSAT questions of these types, so I'm hoping there are some high scorers here who have perhaps a different approach they could share!

An example of my thinking is on PT 143, S 1, Q 9, a strengthen question, on red admiral butterflies, my prephrase, and my interpretation of the stimulus, was that perhaps the red admiral is mimicking the poisonous butterfly's flight pattern, and thus eluding predators. However, when looking at explanations, one of the assumptions that I obviously missed was that poisonous butterflies did not fly in an irregular flight pattern. Because of this, I immediately crossed out A, the correct answer.
