I have been studying for a few months now and have taken a few PTs. I feel like I need to be preparing for these prep tests in the same way I would for the actual thing (i.e. good rest the night before, environment I take it in, time of day, etc...). I was curious if anyone has any tips or advice how to simulate taking a preptest to make it as similar to the real thing as possible. My goal is to make the actual test day feel like I have done it before and go in there and handle business.

Hi, i posted on here recently for Alabama test takers wanting to meet up. I am in Birmingham seeking study friends. Please let me know!!!

Can the word "would" indicate a conditional relationship? Depending on context I'm assuming it could? Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

I noticed the You Try questions are not included in the analytics overview by default, but was told by support that you could manually toggle them to be included. I don't consult notes and try to mimic test conditions as closely as possible whether its a drill or a You Try question and when I toggled all of the questions to be included, my drilling accuracy when from 44% to 69%. Happy to see that jump up since the pool went from 17 drill questions to 149 comprehensive questions but wondering how I should understand this information. Did I skew my data to be more comprehensive and useful or did I give myself leeway? ( As I type this out I will say, maybe what I didn't consider was that the analytics may be more useful when I get to my PT weeks and I won't want the You Try data included, but let me know your thoughts!)

side note to dev team: It would be cool to have a select all + filter option to where we could filter for the specific types of q's we want in analytics (ex: able to filter between You Try + PT + Drills and see different cuts of data to help measure performance pre-PT by relying on You Try and Drills, and then being able to just see PT results during PT stage.

hey guys. im writing my personal statement and completed my draft.

however, one thing im worried about is the fact that my ps is reading more like "i had these weaknesses--> i reflected on them --> i had a realization and my mindset changed." im afraid that there is a general "lack of action" theme.

im esp concerned about this because of my background (american citizen graduating w a foreign law degree + community college credits) and i feel there is more expected from me. additionally, i also wrote about really small achievements (although that led to my mindset changing). i did show some of my legal thinking though.

do you guys think its ok to have a little bit more of a philosophical personal statement?

Before they were teaching the LSAT, Levi and Emily were figuring it out side by side as study partners. In this episode, the two look back on what it meant to prep together and how that shared experience shaped the way they now approach tutoring and teaching.

They talk about finding community during LSAT prep, why untimed practice matters more than most students think, and how to analyze questions with real intention instead of rushing to the answer. Along the way, they unpack their study philosophy, the balance between mechanical drills and organic understanding, and what changed for them when they transitioned from students to instructors.

Whether you’re studying solo or with a partner, this conversation is a reminder that the LSAT doesn’t have to be isolating and that the right process and the right people can make all the difference.

Hello everyone! I just began my lsat prep (testing in june) and always enjoy having a community of other beginners to chat with so I don't feel like I'm so alone. There's a lot of already existing resources for solely advice and such but sometimes you just need to complain to other people who get the struggle or see others staying on their grind for motivation to hit the books. I'm currently a UC Berkeley student so if any other bears see this I would be open to making a seperate group as well and possibly study on campus too! I also use instagram more casually throughout the day so might just make an ig gc if others are also down. Nonetheless, good luck studying everyone :)

Hoping to get some advice. I am planning on taking the LSAT in June, shooting for a 160 score. I've been studying for about 3 weeks, and I've taken a diagnostic test, where I was at 141.

My question is how often should I be taking practice tests? I have heard a lot of conflicting answers from one a week, twice a week, or once every three weeks. THANK YOU!!!!!

Hi, I've just started to use the 7Sage application tracker, and would like to request a new feature in the form of being able to select "withdrawn" after one has been waitlisted.

I've noticed that the only option to select "withdrawn" is when one has been accepted, but I know that there's a lot of people who withdraw from waitlists as well, such as William & Mary who are notorious for yield protecting

Thank you 😊

I feel so discouraged. I had to take a break from 7sage due to financial matters for about a month and I've been using books and practice tests in the meantime and I feel like I am doing so much worse. With 7sage it took a while but I managed to get a 163 twice, once untimed and another timed and now I'm getting like 12 questions wrong in a row. I am so angry

Hi Everyone! I'm trying to get better at spotting the gap and prephrasing the ACs. Does anyone have any tips or tricks for getting better at spotting the gap? I can find the gap for SA and NA questions on 1-2 star questions, but have trouble for all other kinds of questions and difficulty.

Any help/advice would be appreciated!

Hi everyone! I’m writing another discussion post because I’d really like to hear your opinions on this. I recently started the study plan on this platform and chose the accelerated path for Logical Reasoning and Reading Comprehension. I customized it so I’m working through the theory alongside the in-lesson untimed practice drills, and I’ve also been doing some additional untimed drilling on the side to make sure I’m retaining what I’ve learned.

Right now, I’m following the schedule pretty closely, but I try to get ahead when I have the time, so I’ll likely finish the theory portion earlier than expected. At the same time, I’m being careful to slow down and really understand the concepts and what to look for when answering questions, rather than rushing through the material.

My main dilemma is whether I should start incorporating timed drills now or wait until I begin my practice blocks, where the plan naturally shifts to timed practice. I’ve heard that doing timed practice too early can be counterproductive since I’m still learning the concepts and figuring out how to apply them. Introducing timed drills at this stage could hurt confidence, especially if the focus shifts from understanding the material to beating the clock. While I know timing is an important skill to develop, I’m wondering if it’s better to save that for later in the process.

When you do start the practice blocks, I’ve noticed that much of the work is timed, which makes sense because that’s when you really start to evaluate accuracy under time pressure. It also helps clarify whether missed questions are due to gaps in understanding or timing issues. That said, I’m curious to know how others handle this transition. Do you still incorporate additional untimed practice outside of the practice blocks? If so, how do you structure it?

I’m just trying to figure out the best approach here, since there seem to be mixed opinions, and I’m still working through what makes the most sense at this stage of studying.

Hi! I don't know if this is a dumb question lol, but I saw a method on TikTok that said each week to do one section of a PT a day and then review after each section that same day. I just did one section in the PrepTest section of 7Sage, but it won't let me see the score and answers for that section until I finish the entire PT. Does anyone know if there's any way to do this on here? It lets me on LawHub, but then I have to manually input all of the answers into 7Sage, which I guess I'll do if there's no other option. Thanks!

im writing my personal statement and its based on a true story about how i got in a car accident that led me to getting an internship with a supreme court justice at criminal court in NY (a girl rear ended my car into a man who ended up being a judge). the essay is solid, i think, but the story literally sounds so unbelievable that i am worried they will think i made it up. very much a when life gives you lemons situation. the judge is writing me an LOR as well but i obv dont know if hes mentioning that my "interview" was how well i handled a girl almost killing me in a car. its a long story which i am happy to share but moral of the story is would anyone want to read it and let me know their thoughts

I started out with -17 wrong in August on drills. I am now at -5 on LR. I test in June and am still studying. Thank you, 7Sage, for the entire platform. I should have started my LSAT prep journey here back in October 2024.

I don’t know y’all. I am suppose to take the LSATs in April and I don’t feel confident. For some reason it’s no clicking in my head. As I do these drill questions through law hub I keep getting horrible scores and it’s becoming very discouraging. I’ve been studying a couple hours every days for the last month on top of finishing my BAS taking 3 classes this semester and I work 70-80 hrs a week. I keep telling myself if I just keep drilling then eventually it will click but nothing has. I have 2 months left to study and hopefully by April I will be ready. Pray for me y’all because I really want to go to law school. Thank you

I would love to be able to export my practice questions and analytics data into a CSV file. I already am doing a wrong answer log, but the ability to copy & past some of the things into an excel file would be immensly helpful, especially because I don't necessarily analyze my entire performance question by question, but it's usually after a week of studying, I'll look at my overall performance and then figure out where I need to dive in.

Also, if I leave notes in the tool, by the question, it would be nice to be able to export that along with all other comments.

Hi, I changed my subscription from Live, to Core .

I noticed a few questions which, I could have promised, had explanation videos now no longer have the videos . Is anyone else experiencing this?

Could it be due to the subscription change?

I have a question about Group 3 Conditional Indicators.

I'm sorry if this isn't the right way to use this. There was no option to comment on the video.

In this free video, https://7sage.com/classes/evt_0326Eqo5FmfXtA1QAeVlf2 the instructuor gives the example, "I will go to the concert, unless it is a 2 hour drive."

This maps out to be either:

/concert --> 2 hour drive

/2 hour drive --> concert

Would it also end up being correct to rephrase this and say in more basic language, "If it is a 2 hour drive, then I will not go to the concert?" It changes the mapping to:

2 hour drive --> /concert

concert --> 2 hour drive

So I'm assuming you can't and that you have to follow the conditional indicator rule of just choosing an argument negating & making sufficient, but just wanted to double check.

Thanks for the help!

Hello! I am taking the LSAT in February, and I am also taking the LSAT in April.

I would like to have a tutor to help me study, review practice tests, and provide test tips.

If you are available to tutor me, please let me know asap!

Seeking advice: I took the LSAT in November 2025 and only got a 153. My target score is 165 and I take it again in June. After the holidays I got back into study and decided that if I wanted to improve that score I needed a disciplined, regimented plan returning to the basics and building a base again. Which led me to 7Sage and I'm using one of the study plans right now. Until mid to late march I am in the foundations phase and it doesn't (as far as I've been able to tell) direct me to take bi-weekly PTs or drills beyond the modules.

Should I be doing more than just the study plan or am I just allowing my nerves to get ahead of me?

Hi,

I'm restudying for the LSAT and want to make sure I am retaining all the foundational concepts and theory from the core curriculum. I am taking handwritten notes as I go through the modules, but does anyone have any tips for retaining/reviewing this info? I want to keep up with my 7-sage curated study plan, but I also want to make sure I am revisiting and truly digesting the concepts.

Thank you, and happy studying everyone!!
