Hey Everyone!

What's the default text size on the LSAT? 7Sage defaults to 100%; does the actual LSAT default to 100%? I remember reading somewhere that it defaults to 125%, but I can't seem to find it, and 7Sage doesn't do it either.

Thanks in advance! Study hard, everyone!

Hi! So, I'm doing really well on my BRs and untimed drills (even shorter, timed drills I'm doing well on). Not getting the scores I ultimately want, but getting pretty close. Unfortunately, that doesn't translate to my timed PTs. I'm getting 9 points less in the timed environment :/ its pissing me off. Does anyone have any advice about bridging the gap between timed sections and untimed? Is it just taking more timed PTs/sections?

I worked at an establishment since 2024, and I will begin serving as shop steward for my coworkers.

I'm wondering if there are any law schools that would be iffy about union involvement.

If the advice is to include it on my resume, is there a recommended formatting?

For example, what I'm considering is:

[Company] ([City], [STATE]) <------------------> ([Start date] - Present)

[Main Position] (Elected shop steward from [start date] - present)

• [Task related to main position 1]

• [Task related to main position 2]

Thank you to anyone who can share any experience with listing a union representative position!

I noticed in my PTs that whenever I don't break into the 170+s, it is when I fall for trap ACs in level 4 or 5 difficulty questions. However, as long as they are marked (even in BR), I can notice what is wrong about them and fix them. Without BR, though, it is hard for me to notice that I fell for a trap AC. Does anyone have any advice on this? I do have around 5-8 minutes left when I'm done with each section typically, so if it's an additional step that I can incorporate I'll be more than happy to do it! Thanks :D

I took a blind diagnostic a couple of days ago and got a 145. My GPA isn't that great... I really need to get into Law School. I have to. If not, I'll just keep feeling like a loser. Anyone else feel this way? How do you gt through it? For context, I'm close to 30yo and have not done anything substantial in my life (career-wise at least).

I work full time and I plan to take the October 2026 Exam. This is not my first LSAT so I've studied previously but... a lot of days I just can't study after work? My brain is deep fried after I get home from work and then I know I'm supposed to be hitting 2 hours of studying.. then I just talk myself out of doing it. Does anyone have any tips for how I can actually lock back in how I used to and kill this exam like everyone else?! I feel like the information is dripping out of my head each day I don't do a proper session. Studying in the morning is an option, but I typically have more time open after work.. I'm all ears!

i thought i would come on here to get some feedback. basically, i’ve been studying since may (not as consistently as i would have liked), and i didn’t work this summer so that i could study and write the test this september. i’ve recently hit a mid-160s plateau, and my goal score is a 173 (ish). i’m really debating pushing my test at this point because i don’t think i can reach my goal score in the next two and a half weeks. but im also going back to school this fall, and i won’t have nearly as much time to study once the school year starts. so i’m wondering, do i write september and then register for october/november? or just skip september entirely and try for october/november. or alternatively, since i’m not applying this cycle i could write it next summer but i’ll be working full time, and that’s a big gap in studying. IDK WHAT TO DO if anyone has any advice i would really appreciate it.

Hi! What are some good recorded live sessions regarding conditional reasoning? This has been my weak spot so far when it comes to the LSAT, and going back to the foundational part of the curriculum hasn't really helped. Would appreciate some help!

Hey!

I'm currently studying for the September LSAT and this would be my third retake. As I take more prep tests and timed sections, it's becoming more and more apparent to me that my biggest enemy is panic which leads to me rushing through questions that I can otherwise answer relatively quickly in a more relaxed setting. I'm aiming for at least a 170, and it's feeling like a less attainable goal because of my anxiety even though this is the best I've ever been in regards to the actual content of the exam.

Does anyone have any tips on not panicking or learning to relax while taking the test? This would also be my first time taking it in a test center rather than remotely which I'm worried my alter my general state of mind.

Thanks for your help!

Hello! This is mostly a post for 7Sage UI team + anyone who may be curious for upcoming administration. I took the August retest a few days ago and noticed a couple things that may clear up lingering questions from the original exam.

Side note, I did not toggle with the accessibility buttons or used the eliminate AC button. I also did not attempt to hide the timer, nor did I use more than one highlighter color. I don't remember a full-screen option, but I also don't normally look for it. Highlighter functions, 'next/back' buttons, passage scrolling all seemed to be the same.

• The screen is wider. It's not so wide that it's illegible and fills the entire length of the screen, but it is slightly wider (as in stretched, horizontally) than I had originally seen for the August exam (on the first day of administration) and how it currently is on 7Sage. I imagine that this will be the continuing interface for future exams.

• There are no boxes around the AC that clearly delineate which AC is which. Again, not so big of a difference, but the ACs and their corresponding letters seemed to 'float in space'. In my opinion, I thought that it was still clear where the demarcations were, but I can imagine that some people may be thrown off by this.

• When you click on the answer choice, the 'box' chosen is still filled with the pale yellow color.

Otherwise, the interface felt really familiar! I wish I could remember more, but I was just trying to push through and finish the exam 😭.

a bit of background: i graduated college early with the intention in saving money for law school + having extra time to study for the lsat. i was originally planning to take the lsat for the first time in August (was PTing low 160s) in hopes to score in the mid to high 160s by October.

in a crazy change of events, i was involved in an accident that resulted in me fracturing my femur. around a month post opp and besides doing drills here and there, i really haven't studied due to my chronic pain and overall depression.

im between a rock and a hard place. on one hand, this injury has completely disrupted my life, let alone my law school applications. on the other, im a bit uneasy about having to spend an additional year out of school. any advice?

hii does anyone have tips to share about what got them to master mbt question types.

ive been doing practice sections and getting most every question down right except for must be true. (and parallel reasoning too)

HELP

for the 7sage 5 school application package and for applicants blanketing the T14 (with stats above medians for all), what 5 schools do people typically pick for the package? is it based on reusability or most unique prompts? considering the package and would appreciate any insight!

on the UChicago page, the 7Sage note from Ethan says:

You can submit your Harvard perspective statement as one of the optional statements, though traditional diversity/inclusion language may go less far at Chicago than other top schools. Make sure that you come across as excited to engage with other viewpoints (particularly those outside traditional moderate progressive ideologies.)

You should write a Why Chicago that outlines your own personal/intellectual brand and connects it to what the school offers.

but the Chicago prompts say: The Admissions Committee typically finds one page or less is a sufficient length for most addenda.

so is it 1 page for the perspective statement and one page for why chicago, or one page across both?

This study group is for Pacific Standard Time individuals (or EST night owls) to gather together and discuss different problems and share strategies for success.

could you add a read out loud app feature to the 7sage app i use it in Microsoft edge and it helps a lot for me and if you had this feature it would help others as well.

Hi all, I am working on some short answer essays for Law School applications and I have a formatting question.

If I am answering 2+ short answer prompts, and they are to be on the same document, is it okay to just label it "Essay Prompt #4, etc." or should I put the actual prompt after this: "Essay Prompt #4; why do you love purple pikmin so much?"

At the end should I put the word count or leave it alone? (Word Count: 265...)

Any input would be appreciated!

Hi everyone!

I've been studying recently for the September LSAT and I am so frustrated that I can't seem to get out of the mid-160s jail. I consistently score really well on individual sections (like -4 to -1 on LR and -5 to -2 on RC) but for some reason once it's a whole prep test I just can't keep that momentum up. Also, I took the June LSAT and got a 162 which I'm hoping to improve to around a 167+ this second go round. Anyone had a similar situation/ any stamina and consistency tips? Also I need to do a better job at bridging the BR gap but that seems to be a common concern.

Thanks!

For me, one of my main motivators for a legal career is intertwined with several personal religious beliefs. I do plan on applying to several schools with religious affiliations, but also to a few state/public schools as well. I know that part of being ABA accredited is not discriminating in admissions based on religion but would it hurt my application in any way to include this reasoning in my personal statement?

I can see how it would strengthen the application for a school with a religious affiliation, but not sure if it goes vice versa. I know I also probably shouldn't leave out some of my main reasons for wanting to pursue law, but I could potentially reframe it to be more universal for public universities if I needed.

I am having a really hard time staying awake during the test. I zone out around question 13-15, and come back by 20, but does anyone have tips to remain more alert? I'm not a caffeine person but maybe i need to become one. it just really messes with my sleep so i try to avoid it. I know that it's my biggest problem--i'm like -2/3 on each section and it's always the ones where i'm tired.

I haven't taken the actual test yet, but for those who have - how did you handle your 1 week period before the exam? What types of final practice did you do?

What helped you the most? (For both the final week study prep or just how to avoid having a complete mental breakdown from pre-test anxiety? Looking for any tips.

I signed up for the Personal Statement workshop with 7Sage about two weeks ago and they had a list of prompts, to which I completed and had 8 pages worth of answers. I'm curious as to how I'm supposed to combine all the prompts into a condensed two-page statement, or if there are certain questions from that prompt sheet that I need to address and some that I can skip. I understand that the prompt asked about several different experiences, so I have one in particular that I'd like to focus on, but the questions about why law, what gaps there are in the legal world that I'd want to fix, etc (most of the law-related questions) I am not sure which one I can choose or skip.

Any help would be appreciated!

Hello everyone!

My name is João, and I scored a 171 on the June 2026 LSAT. I’m currently offering LSAT tutoring for students who want to improve their scores through a structured, analytical approach rather than simply taking more and more practice tests.

As a non-native English speaker, I’m particularly familiar with the challenges that can come with mastering Logical Reasoning and Reading Comprehension. During my own preparation, I kept detailed records of my mistakes, identified recurring patterns, and created targeted drills to address the underlying weaknesses.

What I offer

1. Free initial consultation — We’ll look at your current performance and identify the areas with the most room for improvement.

2. Detailed PrepTest analysis — I’ll help identify recurring mistake patterns and why they’re happening.

3. Personalized drills — Practice specifically designed around your weaknesses.

4. Customized study plan — A focused plan built around your goals, schedule, and current score.

5. Logical Reasoning strategy — LR is my strongest area, and much of my approach focuses on developing a systematic way to analyze and eliminate answer choices.

My tutoring is especially suited for students currently scoring around 150–160 who are aiming to break into the 160s or 170s and want a more structured approach to their preparation.

Rate: $20/hour

Monthly package: $120 for 8 sessions (2 per week) — a $40 discount compared with the hourly rate.

If you’re interested, feel free to message me. I’d be happy to set up a free consultation and see whether I can help.

Best,

João

Hi everyone!

I'm offering LSAT tutoring for students who want a structured but low-stress approach to improving their score.

I offer a free initial consultation where we can talk through your current score, target score, timeline, biggest challenges, and whether tutoring would actually be helpful for you. No commitment at all, just a chance to figure out where you are and what might help you improve.

I'm also a big believer in efficient studying over making the LSAT your entire personality. There are already enough people on Reddit doing that for all of us.

We could be a good fit if:

• You understand LR explanations after the fact but struggle to spot the issue on your own;

• Your accuracy is much better untimed than it is under time pressure;

• Your PT scores feel inconsistent and you're not sure why;

• RC feels like a race against the clock;

• You're balancing LSAT prep with school work, sports, or generally having a life;

• You want someone to help figure out what you actually need to work on instead of just telling you to do more questions.

My Approach:

I want to hear how you are thinking through questions. From there, we can figure out whether the issue is argument structure, timing, answer-choice elimination, confidence, or something else entirely.

For LR, we'll focus on getting the core of the argument, recognizing what the question is really asking, predicting what a correct answer should do, and understanding why tempting wrong answers are wrong.

For RC, we'll focus much more on structure, viewpoints, and the purpose of each paragraph than trying to memorize every detail.

Tutoring Options

• Small-grouip tutoring: groups of 4 students, $15/person per hour

• 1-on-1 tutoring: $30/hour

About Me

I scored a 177 on the LSAT while balancing the social and academic load of my senior year at Harvard alongside being a Division One athlete. I tried just about every study platform and technique on the way to my dream score, and will be happy to share all the tips of what worked best for me. I am very flexible with timing, and am happy to negotiate pricing.

Because I've also recently gone through the law school application process, I'm very happy to talk about personal statements, school selection, admissions strategy, or general law school application questions along the way.

I'f your interested, send me a DM or respond to this post and we can set up a free consultation to talk through where you are and whether individual or group tutoring would be the best fit.
