about how many times should one take the LSAT, even with much studying and preparation for the test, without achieving the score they want, before one considers doing something else with their life? Asking for a friend who is about really to give up. (not really)

Whats up y'all,

Hoping to find a study buddy who lives in around the Seattle metro area or the West Coast who would want to study sometime at at night between 8 to 9 PM PST over Zoom.

For some context, I work 12+ hours a day, so this only allots me this hour to study. Feel free to message if interested! :)

Hey everyone:) I am just starting my LSAT studying journey, with the intention of taking the exam in June. I have been told about making a Wrong Answers Journal (WAJ), but I wanted some feedback on how others went about it and how it helped them. Did you write down the answers manually? Did you create a doc that you copied and pasted? How did you review the answers during your studying sessions?

Thank you for your feedback and best of luck to everyone on their journey!

Greetings, 7Sagers!

On Tuesday, February 25 at 8pm ET, join 7Sage admissions consultants Taj McCoy and Dr. Sam Riley for another panel discussion with law school admissions deans from across the country. For this conversation, hear from representatives of Boston College, Catholic University, Howard University, Loyola University Chicago, Loyola Los Angeles, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, as they weigh in on the state of admissions in February and provide tips to help prepare for campus visits over admitted student weekends and making scholarship reconsideration requests.

In the CC lesson on grammar, "Modifiers can be Modified," why isn't the kernel of the sentence “The cat likes milk”? Why is it "The cat likes to drink milk"? Why is there an extra verb (to drink)?

The full sentence:

The cat that I brought home from the shelter in the middle of the village where a merchant was murdered on the only snowy day last year likes to drink fermented milk from the Swedish cow that we imported from Austria at considerable expense.

Law School

Was wondering if anybody's applying to law schools for the upcoming Fall 2025 Semester, and if they've already taken their LSAT or planning to take it soon? I've applied to take it in February however some people are telling me if I don't score well then it'll become harder and harder to get in. If I don't do so well I'll most likely take it in April as well. Is anybody on the same boat as me? There's so little time and so much stress for me.

Administrators: Is there a function to eliminate the experimental section from the prep test? I have an accommodation where the unscored section has been removed from my LSAT and was wondering if I can disable that feature here so I am testing with the same conditions, while receiving accurate scoring.

Hello everyone,

I hope this message finds you well. I started studying a few weeks ago and scored a 140 on my diagnostic test. However, I am having trouble grasping the main conclusion logical reasoning questions that are categorized as high difficulty. I've listened to podcasts and tried to understand the explanations, but I haven't had much luck despite trying multiple different approaches.

I can manage the moderate and easy questions, but I'm unsure whether I should move on to other topics or continue to focus on these challenging questions. Should I explore a different strategy or perhaps shift my focus to Reading Comprehension? I would greatly appreciate any advice or insights you might have.

Thank you for your help!

I am writing the in-person LSAT on Friday. I know in the 10min intermission you cannot write on your scratch paper. Can you write on it during the 1min breaks between sections?

Hi everyone! My name is Laura and I'm currently studying to take the LSAT in February. This will be my first time and although I am attempting to go in with some confidence, I'm also being realistic that my likelihood of having to retake it at least once is probably high 😭. Anyway, I do really enjoy studying and learning from others so if anyone is in the Chicagoland area and would like to make a study group or just be online study buddies (don't have to be in the Chicagoland area), I'd really like that! I don't have anyone in my life currently who is studying for the LSAT or any sort of major exam like this, so it'd be great to have some company.

how did you guys use 7sage? finish the study schedule 1st? or mix everything up ( study schedule + classes+ practice+ drill). Any advice?

Our hearts go out to everyone impacted by the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles. We know many of our students may be affected, and we at 7Sage want to help.

We are currently considering how to best support our students during this challenging time. If you've been affected, please fill out this form: https://coda.io/form/Form-for-LA-students_d9kD52WAqIc

We will share more information in the coming days. Our thoughts are with our Los Angeles based students and the rest of the LA community. We're committed to helping where we can.

I've really been afraid of having a tutor because I feel like it often comes off as super stiff and formal. Glad to have been paired with someone SUPER invested in my success that I also completely vibed with. I'd def recc if you're looking for more personalized studying!!

Hi everyone,

I've been studying off and on for a couple of years now, but only seriously started studying for the LSAT with the 7Sage curriculum back in August. After some health issues and a lower than expected LSAT score in November, I've decided to to aim for the 2025 admission cycle. That said, I'm picking studying back up this week and wanted to know what you would all suggest.

I worked through the 7Sage curriculum in the past in a bit of a hurry and it clearly showed. For now, my plan is to get through the LSAT Loophole for a new perspective, then pick up the 7Sage curriculum again to brush up on the areas that I really didn't understand the first time around.

My plan is to retest in June and possibly one last time in August if necessary, and I'm hoping for about a 10 point jump.

I'd appreciate any and all advice as I pick up this tiring (but surely worth it) journey again!

Hi everyone-newbie here and I have been in the workforce for the last 15 years (completed Master's Degree 10 years ago), so asking for an academic letter of recommendation does not seem like the most reasonable path. I have non-academic professionals who are happy to assist, but I do not know where their focus should lie within the letters. Work Ethic, Emotional Intelligence, General Intelligence, Ambition....the list goes on and on. Any advice on what a letter from a professional should look like to help my admission into Law School?

Hello,

So I wrote my test in Oct and scored a 152 and then signed up for the Jan one. Around November I started taking it seriously and in the PTs 130-140s I was consistently scoring 156-158 and BR 161-163 which was improving my confidence. However once I started the PT150s my score in every section plummeted. For RC my average per section was -9 pretty consistently where my LR averaged between -7 and -9 BRing my LR around -4 and -6 per section. I took 153 and scored a 158. 154 scored 156 and just took 156 and scored a 151.

I write the LSAT in legit 4 days and now I'm panicking cuz the RCs in the 150s are so much harder than I thought and RC was my biggest issue and bringing it down to -9 was a fight.

Essentially my question is, because the 150s are closest to the modern tests, should I expect my score to between 151 and 153? What should I do? I feel like I'm out of time.

  • Can someone please give a quick overview of how live classes are run?
  • Are there multiple live classes held each day, 7 days a week?
  • If I buy Core first, will I be able to upgrade to Live during the month and pay the difference for the upgrade? Or will I have to start a new separate subscription for Live, therefore having an overlap of two subscriptions (Core and Live)?

    Hey I am trying to decide whether to subscribe to 7sage. I am taking the lsat in 3 months and have been using powerscore, I see some improvement but not a lot because it's not personalized. What are your guys' thoughts?

    It's January test week. This is your opportunity to shine and show those law schools what you are made of. You are doing something that many people are not willing to do. You are taking a very difficult and important exam, so be proud of how much you have achieved thus far. I am nervous, I am sure you are nervous, but think of it as just another test. Do not let the pressure get to you. Block out all of the emotion and act like it's just another test. Forget the person proctoring you, watching you closely, you made it this far and you will do just fine. I have faith in you. Do not forget that a number does not define you. Don't let it define you. Whether it is your first LSAT or your fifth, prepare for that test with a positive mindset and press the submit button with pride, because on February 5th when January scores come out, you will get the score you were hoping for. Good luck everybody. YOU GOT THIS!!!

    Hi everyone! I saw online yesterday that you need an external camera if you are taking the test remotely, I'm confused by this and want to see if anyone that has taken it at home can speak on this since it will be my first time. I was planning on testing on my macbook that has the built in camera, is this not allowed?

    Hi all,

    I am looking for people who would like to meet up 2-3 times a week to study and review. I am currently aiming for the June LSAT and looking to jump from the 150's to 170 by June. I am Pacific Time and can meet any time in the afternoon/evening. Let me know and we can set up a discord or something.

    I was listening to a 7Sage podcast (I believe #44) and they spoke about using flashcards while studying the CC. I was wondering what I would use flashcards for and what I would put on them to help me with the LSAT. I'm going through the CC foundations right now and plan to take the LSAT in 2027, so I'm just at the start of my prep. Thanks so much :)

    Hi everyone. Just wondering if there's a way to take a PT untimed? I was working through my first PT but then had to step away and all the time for the test was lost.
