I’m currently at 156, and I’m struggling badly with conditional reasoning/flaw questions! Does anyone have any tips? I’ve already read The Loophole, and I study two hours a day and mostly dedicate that time to CR….

So I started a study plan at at the beginning of this month, with my test date on Oct. 10. I'm budgeting 7 hours/week of studying on 7Sage (I realize this is less time than what's recommended to prep for the LSAT, but it's what I can commit to).

7Sage put me in the "Minimal" study plan path, with 3 weeks of lessons and 5 weeks of practice.

I just spent the last 11 days going through the LR fast track, in accordance with the study plan. Then I moved onto RC, but to my surprise the RC section in my study plan is only 2 hours, with a full six days of nothing to study before I'm supposed to start Practice on Aug 25....

I realize I can go through any lesson in the lesson library at any time - so my question is, what do people recommend I study for the next week or so until my practice is supposed to start? All I've gone through is the LR fast track vids and The 7Sage RC Method. FYI, I'm also reading through the LSAT Trainer right now.

Hi everyone! I have been studying for the LSAT for the last 6 months and have found difficulties in breaking into the 160s. My test is upcoming in October so I was looking for tutoring to gain some feedback on my approach to questions and tips to improve. I have been increasingly studying for the exam over the last few months after balancing it with school and work during the school year and feel diminishing returns from my studies! After my PTs, the correct acs seem clearer to me which is frustrating. Please let me know if anyone currently has space!

General Info-

Age: 20 about to turn 21

Lsat PT scores: 152

GPA: 3.5

Internship/volunteer work: 4

Full time job for over 3-4 years.

Making this post is kind of a difficult but I don't know where else to turn to since it feels like reddit thread users are annoyed when asking for advice and no one I know really went to law school. I graduated with my Bachelors pretty early (finished in 2.5 years). I never actually dedicated any time on doing LSAT prep during that time because of work, internships, and what not. After graduating this spring I honestly thought that I would have enough time to maybe bring up my score but it looks like it's going to probably take more time than what I had wished for initially.

I'm not sure if it's even relevant but I am also 20 years old and the few friends and family members who have gone to grad school are telling me to take it slow as it may be hard on my head.

My practice tests keep telling me that I'm getting a 152 score and it feels like I'm just sort of stuck right now. I have probably pushed my test so far back that it looks like my best chance is probably doing the test on November, but then I keep calculating that it's a far reach to apply in December.

I guess what I need advice on is whether I should just wait on applying or still go for it? I don't even want to go to a big law school, I genuinely just want to go to a law school and have wanted to be an attorney ever since I was a kid.

The other consideration is how the schools I want to apply to have really high applications and law schools are becoming way more competitive than before.

What do you guys think? Should I spend money on these applications with my score being this low?

Hi all! I wanted to share something that might be useful to some of my fellow 7Sagers. It may sound a little ridiculous, but hear me out.

Flaw questions have always been one of my biggest struggles. While most of my progress is obviously due to studying, one unexpected thing that has helped me is the TV show, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

It has always been one of my comfort shows, especially when I want to relax my brain after studying. At some point, though, I noticed that the characters are constantly getting into ridiculous arguments, making outrageous claims, and otherwise acting irrationally, or, you can even say, illogically. I think you can see where I’m going with this . . .

While watching, I began trying to identify the flaws in their reasoning, pinpoint the unwarranted assumptions they are making, or predict how another character will respond to an argument. It might sound hectic, but it has made retaining and applying these concepts much more enjoyable. Since I started doing this, I’ve noticed an improvement in both my understanding of flaws and my overall performance on my question sets.

That said, I would not recommend accidentally binging an entire season under the guise of “studying” (which I definitely have never done). I also wouldn’t recommend doing this while watching with friends unless you want to have fewer friends in the long run.

I really want to close this gap. I also need help feeling confident in my answers and just going on

Hello everyone,

I started studying for the LSAT on June 1st, and I’m taking the test on October 9th. I took a week off studying at the end of July because I felt burnout coming.

I am not feeling burnout now as much as lack of taking care of myself, and I was wondering if anyone has thoughts on taking a week long break 1 month before the LSAT? It would be September 1st-8th. I am concerned about becoming worse at questions if I break…

As well, I am planning to switch to the biggest package (I’m on the middle one right now) for the last month. Due to money, I cannot afford to pay for the biggest package for two months. I’ll look into the conditions, but if I cancel and then resubscribe, my information will still exist, correct?

Thank you,

MJ from Canada

Was wondering if anyone has any tips or methods they use for RC. My score seems to be getting worse for RC and I just wonder if there's some other methods/approaches I should try for RC. Would LOVE any advice.

Hello! I was wondering if someone would be able to help me with the following things: 1. Resume that I'll be submitting to law schools. 2. Topics to write about in my personal statement(s.) 3. My law school lists.

I have been so inconsistent with LR lately and when I go to do blind review, I am seeing my mistakes clearly once I have time to really read and review the stem and ACs, hence the high blind review scores. Not sure how to improve on the actual timed sections though and at this point it's frustrating that they seem to be getting even worse! I'm pretty consistent with getting through the first 15 or so questions in 16-18 minutes, so I feel like I should have enough time but then I have a huge fall off on performance with the difficult questions, usually always picking the wrong answer out of the 2 I narrow it down to or just not understanding the question properly in a timed scenario. Any tips are appreciated!

Hi! I'm applying to law school for the next cycle and am getting super nervous about my GPA. Unfortunately, my undergrad gpa was quite low. For context, I am a computer engineering and computer science major who graduated in 2025 and had two dips in my gpa that were both affected by emergency situations. I had to take an incomplete for a class since I had to miss the final exam due to the circumstance, but retook the class next Spring and got an A. In another course, I had a D, but maintained an A until the incident hit. My plan is to explain these dips in a gpa addendum without making excuses. I also got some corporate experience during and after college. I worked for 6 months full time as a Data Center Tech and 1 year as a RF engineer. I also have been working as an intern for 6 months at a cybersecurity company.

I would really love to apply to T14 law schools and a few in mind (obviously I will also be applying to targets and safetys), but is it just not in the cards for me? I know my LSAT is gonna have to some heavy lifting and my goal score is a 170+ (ambitious ik) with my first attempt in January. But is there anything else I can do to really strengthen my application?

Hi! Wondering if anyone that works FT would like to be in a study group together? It can feel so isolating to do this by yourself and I'm wondering if others would like to connect.

I’ve only been studying like 48 days. My last PT I got 168 and I feel motivated and I’m still coming up with the “ahah moments”. 92nd percentile is not bad at all, sometimes we get perfectionistic and forget how far we have come.

I learned that “implied” in RC is “most strongly supported”. I learned that parallel reasoning is just the Lawgic, that analogy in LR is often the same but in RC it’s the roles and verbs. I’m training my gut instinct for the harder causal and conditonal reasoning. I watch the most challenging live classes by Kevin and Bailey, start to get confused about 3/4 through and I love it! I love planting the seed by challenging myself with info I don’t yet understand and feel things click into place over the next few days. My friend jokes that I have “revelations” multiple times a day

I saw a challenging question that almost involved logic games style of a question, needed a diagram. And I didn’t get it right but I was thrilled, and watched the video and got it etc. I learned that must be false is conditional not causal usually. I learned to make the little pie charts for those formal logic indicators “some, most” etc etc with different wholes and parts.

It’s fun to do the full time schedule in the drilling section. Take a break for a couple hours play with the dog and then practice again. It’s the joy of the hunt, of the chase. It’s the joy of rapid improvement and a race to the finish line. And to be so in touch with yourself, any biases or irrelevant thoughts in your head, the small difference between different feelings of intuition and whether it is a real or a false signal. I can feel my own heartbeat, and the blood moving in my body. It’s like I get to be a laser with my own mind.

IDK if it's just me but the preptests 150 and more recently seem much harder compared to the older preptests like 120 and 130. I was consistently getting -4 on LR on the older PTs and now im averaging around -8 (PT150+).

The most recent section (152.S1) I took I got a -7 and even some of the lower diff questions really picked my brain and took me much longer to solve.

I'm assuming that this is just bc the newer PTs are more diff but at the same time, that are probably more reflective of the LSAT I will be taking in October.

Anyone getting ready in the area?

Given the lawsuit that HLS has lost regarding affirmative action, I'm leaning toward not reporting my ethnicity to law schools. However, I am wondering if refusing to report ethnicity is something that AOs will see on my application and consider unusual (especially since my name is revealing about my ethnicity).

Hiii!! Anyone in the Montgomery County, MD area taking the September/October LSAT and want to study together and hold each other accountable. I am registered for the September LSAT and will be taking October as a fallback and would love to drill/take practice exams with others to help me get the best out of the rest of the time I have left. Please lmk!!!

This really hurt because I got to a point in individual sections that I thought consistent -2's were possible but then I did this...it's like I know I have the conceptual ceiling given my high BR and the perfect S4, but I'm just not consistent enough in real time and slipped up on some not-so-hard questions.

The good news is that timing no longer scares me and I've done so many priority drills that hard questions don't scare me either. What I'm missing is that extra little boost to my accuracy and consistency that will help me say goodbye to the 160s for good. My last 3 tests have been around here: 167, 169, 168. I'll usually have one section that is a -1 or -2 but then at least one that will be -4 and knock me down below 170.

Anyways, enough rambling, just thought that a perfect unscored section is not something one sees all the time haha.

Hi! Does anyone have any law school resume templates they love, or have any that worked for them they would be willing to share? Thanks :)

Hey y’all, posting this because I know something I personally struggled with at the start of studying was having a low diagnostic and I was also stuck in the low 160s prison for a while. I’m happy to say it’s not the end. While it takes a lot of time and effort, it’s definitely possible to improve a lot with this exam. So keep at it and you’ll do great!

It seems kind of random looking in from the outside. Sometimes folks with above median stats get nothing, while a splitter gets half tuition.

I have hundreds of notes. As a result, my notes window turns into visual soup. An added tag feature would greatly improve the notes interface.

Personally, I have a system where I add text to my notes to tag them. For example, I'll type "LR: MSS:" at the beginning of a note. This would allow me to later utilize the search feature to sort by logical reasoning related notes, or just for notes on the MSS question type.

This could be implemented as a built-in tag feature. It could look similar to the existing colorful tags that appear when viewing question analytics. When drafting a note, a user could press a button, allowing them to select from a number of tags. Then after the note is posted, the user could search/sort their notes by a selected set of tags.

If some version of this already exists, please let me know where I can find it. Thanks!

Edit: I notice there is an existing sort-by-tag feature, but the tags appear to be based solely on the question/section number. What I have in mind are broader category-based tags.

Hey 7Sage!

Not sure if this is intended but when you go to accessibility settings and select a font size it doesn’t save for the next drill. Is this intended because it reflects Lawhub or a possible bug?

7sage LSAT Wizards,

I've been listening to the podcast now for a few weeks and going through old episodes but haven't heard anything about active-duty/veteran applicants and how their resumes/personal statements may differ from the average applicant. I'd love to talk to the podcast team and share my statement/resume not only to help myself, but potentially other veterans on their law school journey. Is there an email one can send that information to or is it just a matter of commenting on the video?

Thanks for your time!

-Sebastian
