So I've been studying since January, with my studying getting more intense after May. My diagnostic was a 159 but every PT I've taken has remained at around a 156. The only time I broke into the 160s was during an untimed PT, and I'm starting to panic. Every other person I've seen talk about their progress has seemingly improved, sometimes in a shorter amount of time than I've been studying, so I'm really confused as to how improvement seems so much easier for everyone else. I even got a tutor, and I still haven't seen much change. How do I learn from my wrong answers, because every problem feels so situational? Can anyone please help :(

Hi! I was wondering if there’s a way to have my priorities by question tag include all of the questions I’ve taken instead of just my practice tests. It would be great if I could include all questions or all questions in the last month or something so I can see more directly what I should be trying to work on. It would also be great if you could set your target score and calculate where you’re under performing in relation to that as well.

If any of this is possible please let me know!

I've noticed that my Analytics Overview bar graph seems to be in Eastern Daylight Time, even though I have my correct city/Time Zone selected in my settings (America/Los_Angeles - PST). Does anyone know if there is a way to get the graph to sync up with settings?

I really love that the graph allows me to see my consistency/progress over time, but it just irks me that it sometimes looks like I skipped days that I didn't actually skip because of the time zone difference.

Which PTs are harder

Having taken the LSAT in June I found that the test was more tricky than normal PTs. It was much more along the lines of PT 144. Has anyone else found PT 144 harder than others? Do you all have other PTs in mind that you would say are harder in your opinion? Trying to gain insight to study these PTs since I know the October test will be just as tricky.

Would someone be able to provide me with some of the nuances and strategies needed when tackling link assumption questions. I seem to uniquely struggle with them on my tests and cannot find specific resources for how to approach them. I figure some sort of my mindset is incorrect but I have yet to be able to figure out what. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

help

so likeeee help. I'm signed up for the sept lsat but I am just now revisiting my studying. I took a class from may-july and don't feel like i really improved. I got really discouraged and i'm just now getting back into studying. i'm nervous that i'm not going to do well on the lsat. i work a full time job and i'm not sure if taking it next week is smart... but i also don't want to wait too long that it will affect my likelihood of getting into a school. i have a high gpa but i really am struggling with this lsat stuff. i work a full-time job so i don't have much time for studying. any advice here????

Study Group- October

Hey everyone! I’m planning to take the LSAT in October and looking to create an online study group with others who are also preparing for the same test date. I’m based in Toronto, but open to connecting virtually with anyone who’s serious about studying and wants to stay accountable. We can share resources, set goals, and keep each other motivated.

If you're interested, send me a message and let’s get started!

Should I Cancel My Score?

Hi. I just got back my score on the August LSAT and got a 156. This was my first test and I was PTing around 163-165 but after I took the test I knew I did worse than my PTs because my nerves and my anxiety got the best of me. At one point I couldn't even focus on the test and I was just reading the words on the screen without really understanding them. With this being said, should I cancel my score or is it fine if it is lower than I wanted and should keep it because hopefully I will improve on it on future tests? Would greatly appreciate any feedback

Hello LSAT internet, I have been scoring consistently around the low 160s, last 3 PTs were 164/163/163 with blind review scores in the low 170s (170/172/174)

With a few weeks to the September test, what's the best strategy to try and close that gap?

I use my WAJ religiously, and take a few hours after I've blind reviewed to go over questions I struggled with or got wrong.

Doing about -4 on LR and -5 on RC, but LR is better in timed individual sections -2/-3

TIA!!!

This early version helps you organize the Core Curriculum.

Any and all feedback is welcome! Hope you like it!  

Ive been studying throughout the summer taking PTs once a week and i was making good progress. I started at 158 in may, climed through the 160s throughout the summer and reached 171 and 174 two weeks ago. This past week and this week, however, I have dropped back into the 160s on three tests and dont know what to do, I feel like ive regressed, I was going to take it in september but now I think i have to delay it. What can i do?

New to 7Sage (Need tips please)

Hi everyone! I've been studying for about 8 months using both Blueprint and LSATDemon and been pt'ing around the mid-high 150s. I just got my August score back and severely underperformed and wanted to try this new platform to see if I can improve! My goal score is a 165 and I really want to use 7Sage to the most I can, so please let me know any tips or tricks you have with this platform. I want to get the most efficient use out of it to reach my goals.

I just scored a 175 on PT158.

I just scored a 175 on PT158.

I saw the post about this new feature and wanted to test it out. I feel pretty good about my LSAT progress so far, I have been working at it for a month or so and this is my fourth or fifth PrepTest I think. The main question/advice I am looking for is how to get past those level 5 difficulty questions? No matter how hard I try, they seem to be guaranteed wrong when I complete the test. Not struggling too much with the other difficulties though.

I sometimes get tripped up distinguishing between premises and background context. Sometimes I miss a premise because I think it’s just context, and other times I mistake context for a premise. Has anyone else struggled with this? If so, what strategies have helped you get better at telling the difference? I’ve already gone through the explanations in the core curriculum, and it's not really clicking - I’d really appreciate some fresh perspectives.

Cancel my score

Hi! I received a 161 on my first LSAT. I am trying to figure out if I should cancel my score. I have the whole year to study (applying to the 2026 cycle), and aim to get in the 170s. In the eyes of a T-14 school, is a 161 worse or better than a cancellation on my record?

Thanks for guidance!

Scrap Paper

I wish there was a way when taking the exam to have scrap paper to take notes on. Ideally psychical but I could still settle for virtual. I don't know if I'm the only one struggling otherwise. Whenever I PT with scrap paper/notes, I do significantly better. Test day is around the corner so I'm pretty nervous without accommodations!

Just wondering if anyone else is having the same struggles.
