well dang… my official LSAT test for october got cancelled due to hurricane isaias.

I was scheduled to take the LSAT october and november, but october got pushed back to january.

this is negatively effecting my plans to apply to law school…

idk what to do taking the LSAT in january is not ideal and late in the cycle.

i’m pretty saddened by this :(

LSAC: Are folks that take 3 minutes to answer a question any better lawyers than those who take 1.5 minutes?

Just noticed this, are the 8s upside down??

GUESS WHO'S TEST GOT CANCELLED

I didn't get to start. ProProctor kept kicking me out. This lady (LSAC) told me she could get in late Oct but I'm taking Nov test, so I asked if they'll push Nov back and I was told no. At this point, I'm pissed, I said what if this happens in Oct or Nov and she said we can't do anything about glitches', but we'll do all we can to take care of you. HOW? HOW ARE YOU GOING TO HELP? YOU LITERALLY CAN'T GIVE ME ANSWERS TO SIMPLE QUESTIONS. WHAT ARE YOU GUYS GOING TO DO TO ENSURE PEOPLE HAVE THE ABILITY TO TEST. FMLLLLL

In the Pensacola/Milton area and Hurricane Isaias is currently barreling towards us. Feeling a little stressed. Can't tell which is worse. Probably the LSAT. Therefore, I should probably spend all of my time focused on the LSAT. What do you guys think?

Hi, I take the train daily to work and try to use the time to study, recently when I try to I constantly lose where I am at as the app kicks me off my drill/section to say I am offline. This did not happen before - can it please be fixed to just stay where it is before getting taken offline? Thank you.

Final PT before I take the October exam on Saturday. This is my first score this high, and it's definitely higher than my other PTs, but hoping for the best.

I'm taking the exam again in November, and I'm not applying until next cycle, but ahhh exciting! Wishing everyone luck!

... not because I didn't like it, but because I LOVED it. Thank you 7sage, and thank you to the great community here. I feel like everyone's giving great advice and always supporting one another.

I just took the October lsat, honestly feeling great about it - at least way better than after the September exam. I got a fine score in September, +13 from my diagnostic back in May, thanks to 7sage. I took the October exam too because I was hoping to do better based on the range of my PT scores. Either way, I'm done taking the LSAT (unless I bombed October, in that case you'll see me back next year lol), so I will no longer be using 7sage. But I'm so glad I chose this study platform over any other, and for those of you taking the LSAT in the future, YOU GOT THIS and just know there's nothing on that test you haven't done before.

Hello everyone! I have been a member of 7Sage since May 2025, and have been studying off and on since then and have done a total of now 6,000+ questions out of the 7,700+ questions available on 7Sage. I was not asking for much going into the September test, just like a 160+ or something like that since my diagnostic was a 140. Came out with my first official score being a 153 :( when I was consistently getting 160+ on all my PTs. I have done the core curriculum twice, done the Loophole, LSAT trainer, and even gotten a tutor since this July.

I am sitting for my second test today October 9th, and am just hoping my first official test was a fluke, but am so nervous to maybe have to take another year to study again. I need suggestions on how to study differently. I also thought I did SO GOOD on my September test and did not have test day jitters so I do not know what went wrong. I also have double time and no experimental section, so its not like I am rushing through the official test either. I am thinking of taking about a month break in October after today, but I do not know where to pick up again if I score bad on this October test as well. Might switch to another platform, even though 7sage is cheaper. Maybe I'm burnt out? Maybe I am not reviewing enough? I do not know. HELP!

Yesterday I took my second test. The original was exactly one year ago to the day. Although I still don’t know what my new score is I do think I did significantly better than last time. Ironically, I get my results while I’m at Disneyland, so even if the score isn’t fabulous how can I be sad while on the Matterhorn?

Last time I couldn’t understand anything, I’m talking even level two difficulty for questions. This time around I was nailing level five questions🥰. I tend to be negative and never allowed myself this entire time to think about the positive just in case it blew up in my face. However, after walking out of that test yesterday, I never felt more optimistic in my life about a test.

I did sign up to take the test again in November ahead of time, just in case my score didn’t turn out to be that great from October. So I’m allowing myself a little break and then continuing to study as if the school I get is not what I wanted.

Today, however, I really am thinking I did pretty decent though, and I just wanted to share it!🥳

I write my 2nd attempt tomorrow and just wanted to share my gratitude for this community!!

I thought about writing this post after I received my results, but I don't want to be so outcome-focused anymore. I am in awe of so many people who have been studying for a year+ to reach their goals despite everything life throws at them, whether that be health/injury, familial commitments, or anything else. I’m also so grateful to everyone who asks questions, provides answers and feedback, and tries to support one another as best as they can.I know I couldn’t have done it without so many of the people on here. Even if I don’t respond to your posts, I do read them, and I’m always like, wow, we’re all going through it fr.

I want to be one of those girlies who celebrates and embraces the journey, and I truly feel like 7Sage has enabled me to do that. I’ve made so many friends that I never anticipated making, and this community has made this path one that I’m genuinely happy to be on.

I hope this is my last attempt, but if it’s not, I’m glad I didn’t lose myself in this process. If anything, it almost feels like I learned (more about) who I am and what I’m capable of.

S/o to JY, Kevin, Michael, and everyone else for responding to community needs and making this such a supportive space. ❤️ And to everyone else writing this week, good luck, you got this !

I feel very good about my LR skills. My RC is extremely inconsistent and volatile. If you had 5 weeks and a 7Sage subscription how would you best go about improving RC?

It's really easy to fall into a bitter and covetous mindset around law school admissions. I am absolutely guilty of this. I think it's understandable to fall into this mindset but I also don't think it's ideal. There will be so many people who score higher than me, have already far outscored me in fact, and that's okay. There SHOULD be fantastic lawyers in the world, this makes our society better. So as those of us taking the October test go forward I wish us all luck. We're more than our score and even if it's really hard and scary, I hope we all kick butt and achieve our dreams. I'm reminding myself of this more than anything, so I don't let covetousness give me an ulcer.

May the force be with us.

Hello! I was listening to the 7Sage Podcast with Rahela and Levi titled "Finding His Rhythm: Levi's journey from 153 to 177". In the episode, Levi discussed how he advises people to study under untimed conditions first. I am looking to implement this in my study regimen and was wondering exactly how to go about it. I feel like I would be wasting practice tests if I did those untimed but would love to hear feedback on exactly how to go about it. Should I just do sections and drills and then as I add time gradually begin to implement PTs?

Also, I would love to look for 1-2 study partners who are at a similar place as I am. My last PT was a 156. I have taken a bit of a break but am looking for partners that are serious about studying, willing to keep each other accountable, and designating certain times for studying. I believe it would be a huge benefit to go through LSAT questions with others!

TL;DR = Try using the highlighter for eliminations?

If you've used elimination mode in the new tester, you've probably noticed it's clunky:

• While elimination mode is on, clicking an answer only eliminates it. To actually pick an answer, you have to turn the mode off first.

• If you pick an answer and change your mind, you're stuck. Clicking it again won't unselect it, and you can't eliminate an answer that's already selected.

• Your only ways out are to select a different answer and then eliminate the first one, or hit Reset Response. But Reset Response also erases all your other eliminations.

Here's a potential workaround: use the highlighter. To eliminate an answer, highlight its first few letters (or really any part of the answer) and click the red/pink highlight button. Red means wrong. The big plus is you don't have to switch to masking mode to do this.

It also fixes the misclick problem. Say you meant to eliminate C but selected it by accident. Just hit Reset Response. Your highlights stay, so you don't lose the eliminations you already made.

Unfortunately deleting a highlight on an answer choice is pretty annoying, but overall this method might be less clunky than the traditional way to eliminate. I don't know.

That's why I want your help. If you find the traditional elimination mode clunky, try the style I suggest here. Use this method for a few drills or a full section, then reply here and tell me what you think.

Context: I got a 176 on the September LSAT, and am ready to finalize my applications before sending them off, but I need to get Letters of Recommendation first.

I am in a bit of a confusing situation with regard to what to do for my LoRs due to the following:

1) I have been self-employed as an SAT/ACT tutor since pretty much right when I graduated in 2021. As a result, I do not have a supervisor or manager that can speak to my abilities, and as I understand it, asking clients (i.e. students' parents) is considered a bit of a no-no.

2) I essentially took my last class in Fall 2020, so I'm about six years out of college. I went to undergrad from 2017-2021. I was a transfer student from 1 year at a CC. I then went to UVA for about 2.5 years. During those 2.5 years, most of my courses were either large lecture hall courses or conducted entirely online due to the pandemic, leading to pretty impersonal/surface level interactions with my professors. I've reached out to the two professors who I had multiple, smaller-sized classes with, but I've yet to hear back two days later, though I'm not sure if this is atypical.

3) Many, if not most, of my universities that I'm applying to require 2 recommendations.

Any tips for how I should go about this?

I haven't gotten a -7 on LR in a long time and honestly have been taking full length tests under test conditions for quite a while and yet very consistently do the worst on my last section. any other tips on finishing the test strong or even just making sure to stay motivated? Thank you!

Hi! I am looking for a study group in the 512 area (Austin) I just started my journey and would love to take the LSAT in January and April (not sure how realistic that is) but would love to get together, work some questions out and be held accountable as I do work full time and have been slacking lately.

TLDR: went from scoring -12 in LR sections to -3 in less than two months, stopped overcomplicating everything and feel like I solved most of my challenges overnight; ignore the question types; read the stim first; think of each LR question as problem solving; have Sage analyze each drill/section you do; and confidently think of the LSAT as a problem/puzzle to solve instead of a big bully to fight.

--

In August, I took a diagnostic and scored 148. I was (of course) disappointed. For the record, I had not had any formal introduction in LR before this. Regardless, I still thought I was "smart enough" to score better. I said to myself, "Is law school really feasible if my baseline is 148? Am I not a fit?"

After the diagnostic on LawHub, I bought several study books: The Loophole, PowerScore Bibles and workbooks, and more. I worked through the entirety of The Loophole and felt I was in a good place.

But when I did the LR sections at the end .... I scored 16/26 and 22/26. I was once again disappointed. How am I not getting this?

I finally bit the bullet and bought 7Sage thinking, "Ok this is what will fix me."

Drill after drill, section after section, I felt like I was actually getting worse. 30% accuracy. Prep test: 152. Woof.

I'm hoping for a 162-165.

But then I watched a video last weekend that literally changed my LSAT Life (lol).

A guy on a random Youtube video I stumbled upon said something along the lines of: Stop overcomplicating LR. Stop thinking about the question type. Instead, break the question. Think of the LSAT as a giant puzzle you need to solve, not something you need to be afraid of.

As soon as I did that, I did a mini drill.

5/5.

Another drill of only "hard" questions.

4/5.

5/5.

PT. 118, LR Section1 (which Jon Denning recommended said was difficult)

-3; 169 equivalent.

Holy shit? While The Loophole and all of the 7Sage lessons remain extremely valuable and helped with the foundations, it just didn't work for my brain.

I went from:

• Reading the question then the stimulus. "Ok what kind of question type is this? Ok it's an X type ... ok now what kind of answer does that need? Ok um, um, ugh.."

to

• Reading the stimulus/ "Lol, wrong. Dumb. They didn't consider this," and predicting the answer choice before I read the question. I literally do not even think about what type of question it is because I don't care. I'm not here to diagnose the question, I'm here to solve it.

Think less of what kind of answer each question type needs. Read each choice and think, "does this make it any more true/false or fix/break the conclusion?"

While this isn't a cure-all because I'm still not super confident in my ability to do these under strict time, I am confident in approaching every single question and thinking every stimulus is dumb and wrong :)

The LSAT isn't a giant bully. It's a broken machine with broken parts (stimuli) that are built to trick you. Refuse to be tricked! Assume each question/stimulus/answer choice will be DUMB and WRONG.

This attitude has also made me feel much more confident regarding the LSAT as a whole.

So:

• Read each stimulus slowly and actually UNDERSTAND it.

• If you don't understand, reread it.

• Translate each stimulus (highly recommend you look into this if you don't know what I mean).

• Spend more time reading the stim than the answers because by understanding the stim, the right question becomes more obvious.

• Lastly, have Sage analyze each drill/section you do. While I try to reject AI in my life, I have grown quite fond of my little 7Sage LSAT robot lol. Sage has been a great sounding board when I ask, "wait, why is that not the right answer? Here is why I picked it," and resolving my thinking (and telling me to calm down, I am not dumb haha).

Now, will I take my test in November and throw up at the test site from anxiety? Probs.

Until then, I feel much more confident in my abilities, less intimidated by the LSAT, and encouraged by the fact that I learned what I needed to learn in the way that suited me best.

Best of luck to you all, and thanks to 7Sage for your A+ answer explanations (and especially for Sage).

• Last tip: Try to avoid the LSAT reddit forum. Every single person and their cousin on that forum scored 175+ and they all only studied for two weeks. Don't let it persuade you to abandon your goals or doubt yourself.

I am taking the LSAT SAturday, but, do not plan to apply or go to law school. Initially I was thinking about it despite the fact that I am retired and financially set. But, in listening to your podcasts etc I have decided I simply enjoy my free time too much to give up what would be required. However, I enjoy 7sage and would like to continue through the lessons while trying more questions. I think the skills I am developing are important to being a good citizen and I enjoy the learning skills the site has helped me develop. Bottom line is I would like to continue but wonder if there's a way to do it that is a bit less expensive?

I just took my first official lsat and now I need to take the written section. I have a couple concerns. First, I never studied for it, is it too late to start a week or 2 before I take it? Also, what should I do to prepare? I heard that I don't need to do practice essays and I can just look over the basics for writing essays, I hope this is enough.

Anyone know of a good place to get essay feedback, not too expensive?

Attending my first LSAC forum in a couple of weeks! Any suggestions on what to bring? Like resume just in case, or anything else?
