Hi! I'm looking for a study buddy to keep accountable with. I'm currently working on my undergrad in Chinese Language and hoping to take the LSAT in April. I'm on Eastern Standard Time.

My goal score is mid to high 170s. My current study plan is to do 2 preptests a week and wrong answer journal.

Whatsapp for communication is my preference, but I also have Discord. Anyone who is interested, please DM me!

In the Practice > Drills option, there are options to pull your questions from the Core Curriculum set, the practice tests that 7Sage recommends for drilling, and the set 7Sage recommends for practice tests.

Do people generally complete all of the questions in the Core Curriculum set before moving on to drilling or practice tests? Or does it not really matter? I want to make sure I have a good balance of exposing myself to questions as I digest the Core Curriculum, while also having enough new questions to use in the future for drilling and clean practice tests.

I took the November LSAT and scored a 156. This is pretty much on parr with what I was prep-testing and it was the highest score I had gotten on a prep-test, so I was mildly happy with it, until I saw the LSAT range for my top schools went up. I am having a hard time because although my GPA is a 3.68 and I have good recommendations, I still worry I wont get in. However, I entertained retaking the LSAT in January, but it would be after a long holiday break, and I work 2 jobs so the amount of studying I would get in before that time may not be worth waiting another month to apply. I need some advice on whether to use my current score and just hope for the best, making the rest of my applications stand out, or if I should retake in January and see what happens?

Hi, I am reading Thinking Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman and he's talked about "conjunction fallacies" and "base rate fallacies" which are reminding me of some lsat questions I've seen before in logical reasoning. Does 7sage cover these fallacies at all in any explanation videos? They're definitely trickier than standard source attack or equivocation fallacies, and they are hard to understand sometimes. It seems like you need to know Bayes theorem to fully understand some of these concepts and I don't have any background in statistical math or probability theory

I am struggling to figure out what Link Assumption means! It is my top priority for improvement on my analytics page and I can not find any information on what this means #help!

Since getting back my November LSAT score, I realized I need to go back & re-learn the fundamentals. I’ve been studying since April so im pretty familiar with the test already. I just need a stronger understanding of the basics. After im done with the fundamental learning, im going to start practicing questions.

So, I mainly want accountability / motivation partners to check in with or silently study together!!

Comment if you're interested!

Just took my first LSAT in November and was very disappointed with my score, feeling like it didn't represent my abilities on this test. My PT average leading up to the test was a 166-167, and I scored a 166 on PT158 (under normal test day conditions) just 2 days prior to taking the LSAT. I ended up scoring a 158 on the real exam.

I will need to be a super splitter candidate to get into the law schools I want to due to a lower (but upward trending) GPA, and need a 170+ score. I'm willing to spend however long it takes to reach that point.

So do you think I should cancel my score as it was a whole 8-9 points under my PT average, or should I keep it?

I would appreciate any feedback!

Hello,

This isn't much of a technical problem but I was wondering if there's some way to reverse cancelling the Core membership. I cancelled mine but have decided I want to keep it for a few months. It expires Dec 12 and there's no button to reverse or re-subscribe for another month of the Core membership. I'm worried that if I let it expire then it'll get rid of all my PT data.

Is there anyway to fix this?

Thank you!

Hi everyone! So I posted a few days ago disappointed with my low LSAT score of 151 after scoring in the 155-158 range previously, but I just reviewed the test (which, by the way, was harder than the previous tests I had completed) and I reviewed the first LR section, only the ones I got wrong, without looking at the correct answers and I ended up getting them all right after my review. Does this mean I have to work more on timing, and if so, how do I go about doing that effectively? I’m taking the January LSAT so any advice would be appreciated.

Hi all! I was planning on applying this cycle, but it's already December and I'm late to the game. I took the November LSAT and scored a 154 when my highest PT score was a 159. My GPA is lower than most of the medians of the schools I want to apply to (3.37), so I need a great LSAT score. I want to get at least a 165+. I registered to retake the LSAT in January, and I'm going to request accommodations for extended time which might increase my score, but is it worth it to retake it so soon for just a few points increase? I'll be traveling 2x in December and it'll be the holidays, so I won't be able to study as much. I'm also working part-time as a paralegal, I have to put together my essays, and I want to apply to at least 15 schools.

I'm already at a disadvantage because I'm applying late. Should I keep working for another year and delay my application to apply as soon as the next cycle opens up in September?

Totally random but I noticed Cond. and Caus. reasoning missing from the Question Stem Analytics section? Anyone else having that problem?

I refreshed the page maybe thinking I hid their area bubbles but nope, still missing.

Hello!

I'm looking for advice on how to combine several platforms. I currently have the Live (middle) plan with 7Sage, and I am also using the PowerScore Bibles.

I was also hoping to incorporate both the prep tests on 7Sage and on LawHub but I am not sure how to work with these all in tandem.

Any advice on how to maximize these altogether, and when to start taking prep tests? I just began my studying and will be taking the LSAT in June 2025.

Hi guys,

I've recently taken the Nov 2024 LSAT and am pretty discouraged by the results, to say the least. I had been preparing for the last two months or so (about 5 hours per day appx) and had been doing a lot of PTs (too many I'm sure) in a range of 172-176 with a couple outliers outside the range on both sides, and I ended up scoring a 167 on the actual exam. There were a few adverse conditions which I am confident wouldn't occur again on a retaking, but I don't think any of it could have had that big of an impact so there must be something else. I took a 'diagnostic' two and a half months ago or so and got a 169. Please note though that I did take the exam back in 2020 (hence the username), and I scored a 168 on that one, so the 169 'diagnostic' wasn't a real diagnostic as I was obviously still familiar with the exam from four years ago.

I usually get from -1 to -3 on both the LR and the RC, but generally if I miss 3 on an LR section for instance I'll only miss 1 on the other and only miss 1 on the RC. Doing the math for the 167, I guess I must've missed 13 total at a minimum, which is pretty outside of my range, and almost unbelievable to be honest. It's also frustrating that they no longer allow you to view the exam to find out where you missed your points and review the questions for potential inaccuracy.

Has anyone been in a similar situation, where you've dropped 6 or 7 points from your average PT score on the actual exam? It's hard to take to be honest, and I can't help but feel like my PT scores are meaningless in the face of the score I just got. Also, I know it's somewhat common, but I don't understand how my score could have been below my diagnostic after multiple months of prep. It's all very discouraging, and I'm not really sure what to make of it or what to do differently. I know I need to take fewer practice tests (which is good because I burned like 15 of them in total), but what should we be doing to practice, actually? Just timed drills? At this rate, I worry that I'll run out of legit LSAT questions before I can get my target score (174) on an actual exam.

I don't know if I'm looking for advice or validation, but I think I would be happy with either or both. This was a long one so thank you if you've read this far. I'm kind of considering buying a few hours with a tutor (unsure of where) so let me know if you have an opinion on that with the poll below. Thank you

hi all. I wrote an addendum to explain failing a P/F class in freshman year. Not an excuse, but the program I was in was notoriously known for disorganization and lack of support. This along with some other factors including a grandparents death and hard transition to college, contributed to the grade. I said how I raised my grades after and my GPA went up. Is it okay to explain this even though it may look like I'm making an excuse for my performance? I don't want to raise attention to it too much and give the admin team any red flags.

So I’ve been using 7sage for a few months now, since August. While using it, I was scoring 153-158 in between those scores, and my blind review has been on the higher end in the 156-158 range. I decided to try the LR Loophole just to give myself a new perspective and i was only studying that this month and I thought it would’ve helped, but I just took a practice test and score a 151. I feel extremely discouraged, and that I wasted my time but I also think it could be that it was a lot of material that I covered this entire month and I neglected reading comprehension. I was planning on taking the January test with a goal of 160+ but now I’m not so sure. Does anyone know how to deal with this and what to do to improve? Also, should I still take the January exam with my goal score or push it to February but I think it’ll be too late for applications? I think I’m just going to switch back to 7sage because I was doing better.

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share my LSAT journey in hopes of encouraging others, especially those balancing life’s many challenges.

I took my first diagnostic in Spring 2023 and scored a 144 (Logic Games absolutely crushed me). My circumstances were unusual—I had been released from prison in 2022 after nearly a decade. While studying, I was juggling multiple jobs, full-time school, volunteer work, and rebuilding my life.

I started with books and Khan Academy before purchasing 7Sage when I could afford it. Without a clear plan, I meandered through the syllabus and struggled to balance studying with life. In June 2023, I scored a 154—lower than my practice test average.

Over the summer and into Fall 2023, I studied sporadically without structure, focusing too much on timed practice tests rather than mastering the material. In October, I scored a 158, applied to schools, and was waitlisted at two great ones. Inspired by these experiences, I decided to retake the test after graduating college in May 2024.

In July 2024, I started fresh with a more systematic approach:

  • Logged 400 hours of study from July to November.
  • Completed the 7Sage curriculum with detailed notes.
  • Focused on understanding concepts, not just timing.
  • Limited myself to one PT per week until two weeks before test day, then increased to two PTs per week. I also incorporated untimed sections for review. This was key because in my first study cycle, I exhausted most recent prep tests, forcing me to focus on older material and partial sections.
  • Made flashcards to memorize question types and strategies—something I skipped during my first cycle.
  • Mentally mimicked J.Y.'s testing methods and watched videos of him providing commentary while taking tests.
  • By the end of this cycle, I averaged 164-168 on PTs and scored a 169 on test day.

    I’m in my early 30s, married, working, attending religious school, and volunteering. Reaching this score came down to discipline, completing the syllabus, and mastering strategies.

    If you’re feeling overwhelmed, know that improvement is possible with the right plan and mindset.

    Feel free to ask any questions—I’m happy to help!
