Any advantages or disadvantages of taking the exam in person on a Wednesday versus a Friday? I get distracted easily, so I'm thinking Wednesday could be less busy and therefore a better option, but I'm curious to hear thoughts from folks before I register tonight. Thanks!

Guys, how do you get your mind clear for the pre-test? I am going through a hard time right now, and I just have lots of annoying and bad thoughts at the back of my mind constantly, and I just can't seem to ever get them out of my mind, especially during a preptest. I think it greatly impairs my ability to perform to my full potential. Any tips you use?

There may be a way to do this that I have not figured out yet, but I would love to highlight and annotate lessons as I go through them. It helps me comprehend what I read better and would make it easier to find important parts if I bookmark lessons to return to them.

New to studying LSAT. Noticed that some LR problems involve stimuli that are deliberately flawed/weak/invalid and their question stems mostly (not always) refer to those issues. I understand this.

However, should RC passages be assumed not to contain such deliberate flaws? If there are criticisms of a second perspective by the author, that is given. However, we should not be keeping a skeptical view of the author's view/reasoning as if we are keeping an eye out for a flaw in his/her reasoning that we might be questioned on?

I would love it if there was a way to see how much time I spent on 7sage on a given day. Could even be divided by how much time spent doing sections, drills, or full prep tests, as well as an other section for video/course refreshes. It would make it way easier to hold myself accountable with time spent studying each day since the study blocks aren’t modifiable and I often don’t complete it exactly as laid out.

Hi all! I'm Kerry, and I'm currently taking students for the August 2026 LSAT and beyond.

I'm a magna cum laude J.D. graduate of Michigan Law, and I also have an M.A. in Law from Yale University. After leaving BigLaw and transitioning into parenthood, I began tutoring the LSAT full-time in 2015. I've helped hundreds of students gain admission to dozens of law schools all around the U.S. and Canada. I have also contracted with multiple law schools and undergrad instiutions to teach or tutor LSAT prep, especially through their diversity pipeline programs. Moreover, I actively tutor law students and bar exam prep and have taught First Amendment and Media Law as a law school adjunct professor.

My emphasis is on true comprehension--there is simply no substitute for truly understanding what is being asked of you, what your job is, and how to do that job. I endeavor to break down the thought processes that high scorers engage in, step by step, so that you can progress quickly and consistently.

I live in the Detroit area, Eastern time zone, and I tutor five days a week (Tuesdays and Saturdays are my days off). I keep a wide range of hours to make myself available to students across various time zones, but I prefer to work between 9 a.m. Eastern and 10 p.m. Eastern. At the moment, my widest availability is Fridays and Sundays, though I have a few spots on other days.

My preferred session length is 90 minutes, though I'm happy to work with you if you have a preference for shorter or longer. My base rate is $120 per hour ($180 for a single 90-minute sessions), and I do offer package discounts of up to 20% off for a package of 20 sessions or more). Other discounts are available for smaller packages.

Please reach out to me at kerry@lsatmaven.com and mention that you found me on 7Sage!

Hi!

I want to have some advice on my study method.

My PT score(timed) is between 155-160 and my BR score is usually 173-177.

I've been studying from this February, and I took June LSAT, still waiting for my score.

Regardless of the June score, I'm aiming to take it again in October and I really want to see my BR score in the real test.

The problem is, I don't feel I'm improving that much and not sure what should I do from now on. What helped you the most to minimize the score gap between your actual score and BR score? Will doing more timed practice help?

I was doing mostly timed section and review+wa journal after. Should I switch to untimed mode?

I'm def doing WA journal and I feel like I do understand everything, until I take a timed PT😭

Hello! My name is Mickey and I started tutoring recently with the goal of 1) making tutoring more accessible, especially for fee-waiver applicants, and 2) teaching the fundamentals of logical reasoning to help students who are passionate about becoming lawyers but for whom logical reasoning might not come easily to. My interest in doing this was borne out of helping my brother and a friend of mine, both of whom the second bullet point applies to, combined with the fact that I really enjoy the logical reasoning problems on the LSAT, and I also really enjoying 1-on-1 teaching. Finding enjoyment in studying for this test is the reason I am applying to law school, and I want to share my approach to these problems with you!

Most of my sessions with current students involve walking through sets of problems where I listen to my student's approach and then share mine, emphasizing any takeaways that the student can apply to similar situations in the future. Often, we go in-depth on only a handful of problems throughout a session, focusing on accuracy and critical analysis instead of speed.

The tutoring I am offering is for students whose goal is to score in the 160s and are currently testing anywhere below that. If your goal is to score higher, I may also be able to be of help as long as you are currently below the 160 range. I believe that mastering the fundamentals of LR makes this goal very, very doable, no matter your starting point. While this service is intended to be for students who can't afford more expensive tutoring, anyone is welcome to reach out! I offer a free consultation and two free sessions to see if we are a good fit. I have 4 more spots left at $18/hour (first come first serve), and after those are filled I will charge $25/hour. For more information about my philosophy, approach, and credentials, please check out my website! Here it is: https://www.fundamentlr.com

You may book a free consultation at this link: https://calendar.app.google/PuiSxamTnaDTr7Gh8

Otherwise, feel free to comment and I will DM you, send me a DM, or check my website for my phone number & email. Looking forward to working with you!

Hi all! I know that the August registration deadline is coming up and wanted to ask for some advice. I am shooting for a goal score of 175 and debating between the August and September tests. My last 5 PTs have been 171, 172, 173, 177, and 172.

I am considering August only because the September test coincides with the beginning of fall semester of my junior year, but I'm concerned that I won't be able to get to my goal score by then. Any insight would be greatly appreciated! Thanks :)

I wanted to turn the Lawhub automatic import feature off and was told that it's not possible.

Can you please make it possible to turn that feature off?

There are many PTs on Lawhub that I used for blind review, before subscribing 7sage.

Also there are a lot of PTs that I used for just one section practice, so my score is like 120.

It's messing up my analytics :(!

I didn't have any problem before, cause I never used import from lawhub feature, and only manually imported PTs which I actually used for full PT.

Hello, I've been recently picking somr wrong trap answers due to insufficient translating skils of double negatives or thinking a modifier is part of a negative statement as seen below:

None of the shows that Wilke & Wilke produced last year that were not canceled were police dramas.

Does 7Sage have any practice for these translations?

Thanks!

Do I need to read all answer choices?

For this question, C is the correct answer. I got it right, but I only read answer choices A, B, and C before feeling like C was the right answer.

I took 57 seconds to answer the question which is only 5 seconds under target. Am I supposed to be able to eliminate all possible answer choices before moving onto the next question? I feel like that's impossible to do with a 35 minute time limit.

What do you write in the wrong answer journal? I recently copied the Q/As, inital thoughts about stimuli, thoughts about intial strategy, break down why each A is wrong/ right, and future strategy. Since i use notion I do use tags and color some text for more organization.

Should I rewrite the whole Q/A and breakdown why each ans is wrong? Or should I just focus on my incorrect answer and strategy? Am I doing too much?

Hi all, I have a question on how law schools consider undergrad GPA based on hearing various takes in the past. Starting college, I initially performed not as well as I would have hoped, as college was a big adjustment for me (first gen student). My GPA was lower for freshman and sophomore year (probably in the 3.6 -3.7 range), although I eventually was able to adjust and I would estimate my GPA throughout my last two years of undergrad to be in the 3.9 area. Ultimately, my final GPA ended up being 3.79. I am wondering how law schools (especially T14s) react to situations like these. Is the GPA improvement not really that beneficial? Or will law schools (without a better way of describing it), largely interpret my stats based on my latter performance as opposed to the former two years? Somewhere in the middle?

A little about me. I made it through most of college before finding out I had ADHD, which meant years of assuming I was just lazy when the truth was I learned differently than the way I was being taught. That's what showed me most people don't actually need to grind harder — they need to find what's actually holding them back. It's the whole basis of how I coach: no one-size-fits-all prep, everything built around how you specifically think through problems.

By figuring out my own way to learn the LSAT I went from a 151 to a 177. The increase wasn't talent or one breakthrough — it was months of grinding until I finally learned how to learn the LSAT. Once I figured that out, progress came fast and studying actually became fun. That process, and the three years and 1,000+ hours of coaching since, taught me what it takes to improve and how to help people get there faster than I did.

What I do:

  • Review your 7Sage analytics before every session so I already know where your biggest point gains are

  • Build custom drill sets for your specific weaknesses with difficulty levels, set sizes, and clear benchmarks

  • Pull from my own library of skill-specific handouts — built over three years — to give you the exact one for the gap you're working on

  • Send a detailed study plan after every session with everything you need for the week

  • Teach you how to diagnose your own mistakes so the hours you study on your own are actually effective

  • Work through problems with you live to catch the mental habits that are actually costing you points

As one student put it: "He teaches you how to fish."

Good fit for students who:

  • Feel like their score doesn't reflect the work they're putting in

  • Understand explanations after the fact but keep making similar mistakes

  • Want real structure in their study plan, not just "do more practice tests"

  • Want help structuring not just what to study, but how — things like session length, timing, and building a consistent daily routine

Here's what that looks like in practice:

One of my students had been stuck in the mid 150s. Turns out she was 0 for 6 on one specific question pattern and solid on everything else. Two weeks of targeted work and her next practice test was a 167. Another student came to me after scoring a 165 on the actual LSAT. The habit that got her there — dialing in on small details — had started working against her. She was overcomplicating questions when the right move was to step back. We figured out when to use that mode and when to switch gears. Six weeks later she scored a 175.

Pricing:

  • $150/hour — first session flat rate of $100

  • No packages, no commitments — week by week

  • Sessions over Zoom, usually 90 minutes

100% refund guarantee. Finding the right coach matters, and I want you to see how I work before you commit. If after your first session it's not the right fit, I'll refund you the full amount. No questions asked.

Getting started:

I can take on 3 or 4 new students right now before my schedule fills up. We start with a free 15–20 minute consultation so I can learn where you're at. I respond much quicker and prefer text but feel free to DM as well.

7Sage WAJ

I wanted to reach out to the 7sage team and suggest an addition to the Blind Review/Review process. I think it would be very useful to add a Wrong Answer Journal WAJ tab to the review program. I use the notes section and its helpful to articulate the reasons for answer choices as I am working through the problem. The issue I see is that, when I go back to review all the 'Notes' that I've made in the past in the 'Notes' tab, the interface only shows me the blank answer without any highlighting I added or the answers that I selected when I attempted the question initially. It would be great to create a WAJ within the system for ease of use and access. I've struggled to find a suitable template that works well for me; the note system in 7Sage is great bc it is immediately there and the information can easily be accessed and represented clearly in the 7Sage format.

Thoughts?

Hey! As a current law student who went through the admissions process relatively recently, I know how overwhelming everything can feel. I'm here to hopefully relieve some of your anxiety!

After a 155 initial diagnostic, I studied over the course of several months while working full time and was able to get to a point where I was consistently scoring in the 175~180 range. With an official score of 170 and a year of law school under my belt, I'm excited to share what I've learned and help others achieve their goals.

What I'm offering:

  • My tutoring style is highly conversational and interactive. I believe students learn best by actively engaging with concepts and working through problems together, rather than simply listening to explanations.

  • Personalized, one-on-one sessions via Zoom

  • 35$/hour with a free initial consultation

  • Accessibility outside of lessons via text, or email for general questions

  • Someone to chat with about the admissions process in general!

Free Initial Consultation:

  • Short chat regarding your goals, and how I can help

  • Quick walkthrough of a couple of LSAT problems to get a sense of how our sessions would look

If interested, please shoot me an email at jadecho@bu.edu! I'd be happy to chat and see if I'm a good fit for you.

160+ scorer trying to break into the 170s. Planning to take the Sept 2026 test.

Looking for a study buddy or very small group to hold each other accountable (checking in daily) and go over tests/sections together (about 1x a week).

I work full time, so I am mostly studying early mornings or evenings.

In NYC, but this can be virtual. Looking for people that really want an accountability buddy!

Feel free to leave a comment or chat me.
