In November, I noticed changes in my priority rankings that I thought were the result of a bug. After doing some digging, I learned the true cause was an update to 7Sage’s recommendations engine.

Since the update, the priority tags have become much less useful to me. A comment I found by a 7Sage employee about the update says the following:

“Why we changed it: Under the old system, if you set a high goal score, nearly everything showed as 'highest priority' (not helpful). If you set a lower goal score, everything showed as 'lowest priority' (also not helpful). Now you'll always see a clear spread of priorities regardless of your goal score setting.”

If this is the reason for the change, it seems to have had the opposite of its intended effect on me. My goal score is 180, and my performance across question types is high. Prior to the update, my priorities were spread out in a reasonable and actionable manner. After the update, all except one of my RC tags were ranked “highest priority.” Here is screenshot from the bottom of my RC priorities list:

It seems obvious to me that a question type that, on average, appears less than once per test that I have never answered incorrectly should not be ranked "highest priority"!

This problem occurs at the top of my RC priority list, too!

(Note "Miscellany" and "Logical continuation.")

To a lesser, but still significant, degree my LR priorities have also been adversely affected.

A few examples:

On all of these question types, I am above goal accuracy, but they are still labled "high priority"!

I don’t have screenshots of my priorities from before the update (I had no reason to take any at the time), but I assure you they were much more reasonably spread out.

I would like to request that either another change be made to the recommendations engine or that users be given the option to switch to the engine’s pre-November version.

I realize that I may be an edge case, and it could be argued that since I am at or above my goal accuracy for most question types, my priority tags could not be relied on to guide study regardless of the engine’s tuning. This may be true, but if my priorities must be heavily weighted towards one extreme or the other, I would prefer to see most question types labled as “lowest” rather than “highest” priority. That is closer to how they appeared before the update and would better reflect my progress towards my goals. As they are now, they inaccurately suggest I have a massive amount of unfeasible progress to make.

🤔 Wondering

My Posts

I think the discussion feature is really helpful, but its hard to find my own posts once I've posted them. It seems like there should be a "My Posts" tab somewhere.

Testing advice

Hey everyone!!

I'm currently scoring a 147 on my practice tests (im working on it!!!). When I blind review my tests, I consistently score above 157. I think my main issue on the actual test is timing; I often get stuck between two answers, overthink the choices, and usually end up picking the wrong one.

Anyone have any advice on how to perform better on the first attempt or how to address timing issues?

🙃 Confused

First diagnostic test

Took pt 158 and scored 151. The idea of law school is still brand new to me and I have never studied before. Wondering if it is something I can improve significantly through studying and if 151 cold diagnostic is a good place to begin. Where has everyone else started at and improved to?

😖 Upset

Canceling test scores- your thoughts

Hi everyone, I took my first LSAT exam literally an hour ago, and I feel as if I did HORRIBLE, like as if I would be lucky to score in the 150s

This is because the proctering center did not tell me they were starting me the moment I arrived at the center (I had arrived 45 minutes before the exam started, planning on going to the bathroom, taking a moment to relax, etc.). Instead, they immediately rushed me into the room, without telling me, and sat me down. I had just finished a yerba, and it hit my bladder 15 questions into my first section....

Long story short, I spent the whole first half trying not to pee my pants, and it completely took me away from an exam I otherwise think I would've done quite well in!! I unfortunately couldn't focus with my bladder hurting so much.

To add onto it, I was sitting next to someone with a cough and a kid who was muttering the whole time... :(

Should I give in to LSAC's fear-mongering and cancel my score? I would hate for outside circumstances to affect how future law schools view me as an applicant.

Thanks!

New feature: more options for blind review

Did you know you can customize what 7Sage recommends for blind review? We've added two new options to give you more control:

  • Random correct. We'll recommend a couple of random questions for blind review. This is a great way to keep blind review more blind. The setting is off by default.

  • Multiple answer changes. We'll recommend questions where you changed your answer two or more times, since you probably weren't certain of your final answer. The setting is on by default.

Change your blind review settings here.

Hi and Happy New Year!

I am fairly new here and am wondering if there is somewhere on the 7Sage site that I can take + find explanations for the Drill Sets that we have access to on LawHub through 'drill sets?'

Thanks for your input!

Request for Guidance - Next Steps

Hi everyone, my timed scores currently are in the low150s and my blind review scores are in the mid160s. I started preparing in the summer of 2025 and gave the October attempt and scored in the low150s. I started studying again in mid-November and plan to give the June LSAT. I keep revisiting fundamentals, have a detailed WAJ. I am eager to move into the 170s and willing to put in the work. I am unsure how to design the best study schedule to target the issues I am facing (listed below). For example: at this stage, how should I split time between timed and untimed practice? I would appreciate any guidance on how to move forward. Thank you so much!

Major Issues:

  • Exporting my learnings from previous questions into new ones instead of treating each questions as its own universe;

  • Struggling to develop the attitude of a skeptic as well because I am unsure if I have a complete handle on the question;

  • Develop a different way of approaching the questions by moving away from my prephrase;

  • Struggling with engaging with answer choices and test each against the stim (especially for harder questions).

hello. I took the lsat today and I’m rlly disappointed in myself. While my strategy improved (I had 2-5 mins to review my answers), i felt that I didn’t perform up to my potential of 155-160 (got a 162 br in last pt). I worked so hard and saw so much improvement that I’ve never seen in myself before in these past couple of months. And it’s now all down the drain— I never had this feeling of not performing up to my potential after a test before. I did not even feel this way in my last two attempts (which I admitted to myself they were a complete disaster. No concept of time management). I tried to relax and restore my confidence which worked for me in the second half of the test. But I feel that I’ll get the same 149 score as before and that I failed at reaching my potential. I was hoping to apply now with my Jan lsat score.

Is it normal for anyone to feel this way?

😖 Frustrated

Is it late?

Hi guys,

So I'm signed up for feb exam and I don't think I know enough, I keep scoring 138-145. I don't know how to lock-in and do it, does anyone recommend a good study schedule? and like how can I attack questions. I'm so stressed and its not helping I need a 157-160 to get accepted into the only school I wanna apply to.

Hi all!

I work with 165–175 scorers looking to move from -2 to -6 to -0/-1 on the LR section of the LSAT, and am currently taking up to two students.

Bio

  • #1 ranked social sciences student in my year at Yale

  • −0 average across last 5 timed LR sections, −1 average across last 15 (official score pending, Jan. administration)

  • Background in competitive debate, experience teaching students at all levels

Structure

  • No upfront commitment

  • 30-minute consultation call to assess fit

  • Weekly meetings

  • Discounts available for FAFSA students

Tutoring Focus

I specialize in last-mile LR improvement for students hoping to achieve scores in the 170/175+ range. I help with issues that standard prep methods stop addressing once you already understand the logic:

  • Timing under uncertainty

  • Precise question-type control

  • Avoiding attractive wrong answers without over-elimination

Most −2 to −6 scorers miss questions not due to conceptual gaps, but because they:

  • Commit too early under time pressure

  • Misidentify what the question is actually asking

  • Eliminate correct answers for the wrong reason

My sessions are designed to diagnose and fix these failure modes under real test-time conditions, giving you structure and confidence to ace coin-flip questions.

If interested, please fill out the following form: https://forms.gle/EZabFT9qxMF4JJs26. If you have any questions, feel free to comment in thread!

EDIT: Wow, thanks for the strong interest everyone!

Given my limited capacity, I'm going to pause new consultations for now, but feel free to fill out the form if you are interested. I will keep a waitlist and will be in touch if there's a good fit / spots open up.

I'm still kinda on the sidelines about the enitre "going to law school" thing, and I just took my first full PrepTest with no practice/knowledge about the LSAT. I got a score of 163, and I was wondering if it would be worth for me to spend my time and energy on studying for the LSAT... I don't really want to take the exam multiple times, and I would preferably take the June 2026 exam.

Would it be unreasonable for me to shoot for a mid-170s for the June 2026 exam based on what I have right now?

Atlanta Study Group for April LSAT

I am currently working toward the April LSAT, just couldn't make the February one. Looking for some people in Atlanta who might want to pair up and work together as we go through this. I don't mind simply chatting online as well but looking for someone on a similar timeline who might be able to keep me accountable and help the journey. Currently, I am working on the Argument Parts of the curriculum, so almost done with Logic, but man I still struggle with these questions at times so could use a buddy or several I can bounce ideas off of. Just let me know if you're interested and where you're at in the journey!

Thanks and have a great day!

Score Preview

If I have a couple of LSATs on file, and I believe the new one I took was a significant dip, is it worth buying Score Preview? Like I have a pretty big trend increase to 160-high, but I think this January test went horribly. I can see myself going down from a 160-high to a 160 flat. Does buying the score preview and canceling it make sense? I only took the test in January because I felt I could do a 3-5 point jump and break into a mid 170s.

January Test Taker Here. Without revealing anything about the content of the test, the advice I will give is make sure your conditionals are VERY good. Some of the hardest conditional problems I've seen on the Jan test, make sure your conditionals are sharp.

hey guys I am doing by-type on role questions(argument part) right now.

I go pretty smoothly with easiest and easier questions.

However I get stuck with medium level. I just really wanna ask how I can improve my accuracy on medium difficulty questions. Also one big concern is that there are not enough medium difficulty questions for me to drill. Then I wonder how I know I improve if there is no enough medium questions for me to drill.

Really appreciated if anyone can give me some tips !

Hello. I'm going over the core curriculum and JY tells us in order to negate "all" statements like "A -> B," you make it to "A <-some-> /B." However, in the next lesson, he tells us when you negate "conditional" statements like "A -> B," you negate it to "A and /B." My question is how do we differentiate between the two? Isn't an "all" statement the same as a "conditional" statement? If I say "all dogs are friendly," that is surely an "all" statement and diagramed as the conditional statement "dog -> friendly." Thus, I do not see the difference between the two.

I just scored a 161 on PT147. As BR suggests, timing and time pressure seem to be the issue. I especially struggle with having an RC exp section because RC drains my confidence (and 2 RCs happen to me more often than not it seems like). I don't really have the option of retesting at a later date because I am applying for this cycle and want to improve my existing applications (already submitted with 162) and would not like to delay until next cycle. Does anyone have any suggestions for between now and February? I'm aiming for at least the high 160s. Thanks!
