Hi! I'm working full time and trying to maximize my studying, as I am taking the exam in November. My first timed diagnostic with no prior understanding of the test was 154 and then scored a 161 on a PT followed by a 155 on the next PT (I've been in it for only about a week). Since I have only 8 weeks to try and get into the high 160s, the goal would be a 171, I am looking for advice on how best to use this platform. From some reading, and exploring it sounds like best bet is to just drill, drill, drill and take PTs. Or, do you recommend going through some of the core curriculum? Has that helped people grasp questions they were missing? Because of my work, I'll only be able to dedicate 2 hours about 4 days a week and then one PT on the weekend.

i'm going for a november test date.

i took my diagnostic in june. i wanted to get a sense of where i'm at now, so i just took a second practice test. i still need to complete the core curriculum.

what's the best next step? do i blind review this PT first? i never blind reviewed my diagnostic (should you?). i know i struggle, perhaps mostly, with speed. would that help me get the best sense of where i need to focus, or should i just go back to focusing on the CC?

Looking for a study buddy located in Ottawa, ON. Goal is 175.

Any joiners? Looking to take LSAT in January 2026, looking to chat and work on it with anyone. Weekday nights/weekends open :)

Hi everyone, I am hoping to take the November LSAT. If anyone is interested in creating a study group, where we can keep each other accountable and/or meet each other in person/virtually to work on anything we can help each other with, reply to this message, and I can create a groupchat!

Hello everyone, hope you are doing well.

I was wondering how people get the most out of 7sage? I have been going through the syllabus in the mornings before work and then doing practise drills in the afternoon. Should I be devoting all my time to finishing the syllabus first?

We heard from many of you that even after taking a Blind Review pass at the questions, you still want to see a clean version. So we built a "Clean" tab in the Review Tester. You can now toggle between three views: Clean; Actual take; and Blind Review.

just scored -8 on one section haven't scored -8 on a full test in over two months, taking test tomorrow. :|

I am in EST and scoring in the high to mid 160's hoping for 170+ by november. Looking for someone to study with. It would be 6-9 or around then. Anyone is welcome.

Plan is to do a timed section and review as a group and help explain what we see individually.

Thanks!

Hi! Is anybody in or near Chicago interested in studying together or being accountability buddies, or possibly starting a group? I am open to virtual and in person as well!

I see there’s a “free” ask admissions live video later today, in 30 minutes (2pm), but it’s still locked for core users. Either this wasn’t supposed to locked, or it wasn’t supposed to be [FREE]?

I took my lsat this past August and scored a 156. I have a 4.0 gpa.

I did not put as much time into it as I probably should have due to some extremely stressful life events this summer. Is this even a good score? Obviously I would be taking it again but I am debating deferring admissions for another year due to this score/life events. Im not necessarily trying to get a 180 or anything, but I think my goal would be maybe around 165-170. Thoughts? Is this do-able within the next few months? Thanks.

I am an upcoming senior looking to apply in the 2026 applicant pool. I have an LSAT coming up in Sep. and Oct. I got a late start because I was studying abroad last spring semester...so I have had May-Aug to study. My initial diagnostic exam was a 144 and after 3 months, 4 more practice exams, and a lot of rushing to complete core syllabus I have only improved each time by a point to a 148. I have just started doing constant drills of my weak spots. What else can I do to drastically jump my score to at least a 158! (I am not a great test taker and just trying to find what niche works best!)

Looking for recommendations and motivational stories to help

Hi! So I am having a bit of trouble. When I am taking timed practice, I constantly find myself between 2 answers (the answer I chose and the correct one). The correct answer is typicall my first choice and then I second guess myself and end up choosing the wrong answer. It has gotten so bad that in my blind reviews when I go back in and chose the answer I was in between I get a vast difference between my original score and my BR score (ex. -11 practice score and -3 Blind review score going back in and choosing my initial answer). How do I jump over this hurdle? How do I trust my instinct or make a decision between 2 very compelling answers or is this more of a mental block? Any and all feedback is welcomed.

I am taking the LSAT in October and November. I would love any advice for breaking over 160. I am not looking for any insane score jump but would love to go up at least a couple points before then.

Currently I am doing a timed section each day, one practice test a week, and wrong answer journaling each one.

I am taking actual LSAT this Saturday and was wondering if I should do my last practice test on 7Sage or directly on LSAC? Wondering if there is also any other advice in general about possible technical difficulties that can happen day of

Interested in seeing if anyone in the mid to high 150s would like to do some virtual study sessions. I am taking the LSAT in January and am in CST time zone.

Hi! I am debating if I should retake the LSAT or if I should apply early. I received a 171 on the LSAT, which was what I was averaging on PTs. If I retake the exam, I would take the November LSAT. I am hoping to get into a T14 law school. I am worried that if I retake the LSAT and my score stays the same, then I will be applying later, which could hurt my application. Should I retake the LSAT and wait to apply till November/December or should I early apply in September with my current score?

Hi! On my analytics, it says I need to work on Link Assumption -(LR) but I dont know where its located on the core curriculum?

Any advice?

Not sure where feedback on the new site should go but a feature that I've found useful is the (% fresh) indicator in PrepTest pool settings, especially when I'm starting to really run low on testing materials and I want to use them efficiently. I have two recommendations for ease of use: 1) Adding the (% fresh) indicator next to specific sections, so users know what section drills are fresher based on what drills they've already done and are able to choose sections most efficiently for studying purposes, without having to guess based on how fresh a whole PT is, and 2) Adding the (% fresh) indicator on the actual "Practice" page for PTs and Sections, so that users don't have to go back and forth between the Practice page and the pool settings page.

I’ve been studying this test for a few months now and today I finally broke 161. After that I did another LR section and got -12!! Wayyyyy worse than I have been doing. Same thing happened last week, I was drilling all day and when I took a PT I scored worse than I have in months. Is this over practicing and mentally exhausting myself or am I getting lucky with my better scores? Driving me nuts. Any ideas? And has this happened to anyone else?

I don't know how everyone feels, but I've been doing my practice along with the 7sage fundamental classes. I got the red symbol - how many seconds longer than what I was supposed to - for all my prep answers. I don't know if I should skim and skipp reading all the answer choice when I find the correct answer, cause that seems to be the only way I can meet the suggested time.

So I took the August 2025 LSAT and did not score nearly as well as I wanted to, especially considering my score was lower than any PT I've done leading up to it. I took the rest of August off from doing anything LSAT related because I'll be honest I was drained and burnt out from spending my entire summer just studying for the test. I will be retaking the LSAT this November and I need advice on where to begin on restarting my studying journey. My goal score is a 160. Any tips or advice on where to pick back up with studying is greatly appreciated!!!

going for a november test....eeeeekkk!!!
