I have 4 chats that I am trying to open. I tried on my laptop and phone and it still does not work :(

Help!

I am applying to a school that allows only 2 LOR.

I have 5 to choose from. I am choosing 1 Professor and 1 professional. I worked 3 years full time in Finance before doing my undergrad so I have a good LOR from a manager that really knows me and speaks of my character and responsibility.

I then started work during undergrad for a government agency. The LOR is general, speaks to my professionalism and that I get along with my coworkers, am proactive etc...

The thing is that my Personal statement covers my government job. Should I use the government LOR or the manager that knows me.

Thank you!!!

I know the October LSAT is right around the corner, but I just got my September score and I'm feeling pretty discouraged. I scored 8 points below my PT average, and only one point above my first attempt in February, when I barely studied. Over the past two months, I've been studying full time.

I think something is going wrong with my strategy on test day, most likely timing. I have time accommodations, and I tend to overthink questions. My weak areas are causal reasoning and necessary assumption questions in LR.

I'd love to book a session before October 9 to work on strategy and spot any weaknesses I can't see on my own. I'm based in Brazil (UTC-3) and flexible this week.

If you think you could help, please DM me with your rates and availability. Thank you so much!

begging for flashcards for foundations pleaseeeeeee

Hey yall,

so i just got my sept score back and im not happy! i'm signed up for oct as well. The school i want to apply for is a rolling basis admissions. thinking about canceling and rescheduling to take the lsat Jan 2027 then applying or just taking the lsat for a second time in OCT... any advice?

Hey everyone, just signed up to 7SAGE.

not sure if anyone is on the same place as me but would love to connect and maybe we can work towards doing well on LSAT together. My exam is January, 2027.

I got a 164.

Still 5-6 points lower than my average for the last 2-3 months. I was averaging a 168-172.

I got a 158 in august.

6 point increase? Not necessarily. I was extremely anxious and on the verge of a breakdown in August. I nearly had a panic attack. It’s an extreme outlier.

Do I take October and hope for the best? my mindset is just so screwed. Nothing seems to be going right for me in these past 4 months.

I would also like to preface that I started studying in June 2025 with Kaplan for about 1 hr a day. I took a break between September-march. It wasn’t a consistent all out break from the LSAT but I didn’t study much at all (about once a week).

Since march, I’ve been studying with 7sage 6 days a week while juggling 5 classes, internships, extracurriculars, and volunteering. I didn’t intern this summer so I could full time study.

I got my first 165 in April. Started consistently hitting the low 160s in May. Mid 160s in June. High 160s in July, with my first 172. Since the august exam, I’ve been getting scores 168-170, with maybe 1 or 2 165-167 on my off days.

I know it’s not far off, but I felt so much more confident this time. I really can’t say i’m surprised though, I felt it in my bones in the last few days that I scored exactly a 164.

How do I improve my mindset atp? I graduate in the spring and wanted to be KJD.

So, I am a sophomore in college majoring in Business Management. I have always wanted to be a lawyer since I was 7 or 8 years old. My GPA right now is a 3.5, and I am so mad at myself. During the first semester of my freshman year, I had teachers whose teaching styles didn't match my learning style, plus it was my first time in college, so my GPA was a 3.2. But I managed to climb it up to a 3.5.

At best, when I graduate, I think I could get a 3.7 or maybe a 3.8. I don't think I can reach a 3.9, so I have decided to bet all my chances on the LSAT. I am aiming for a 180, and I have given myself 13 months—1 year and 1 month—to prepare.

Let's say I get a 175, which is the minimum score I will allow myself to get after those 13 months.

Come on, now tell me—what are my chances? The schools I want to go to are Columbia, NYU, WashU, and Cornell. And then there's Yale, the school I can't even fathom getting into, even in my dreams.

I take the exam next friday and I feel very burnt out, I am struggling with RC, I am doing well with LR, I am not too sure how I should approach the few days i have left wit studying. Any advise will help!

Looking for a few tutoring sessions to see if someone can help me correct my weaknesses/unlock what I need to bump up my score. I scored a 150 earlier this year, took a break since I was on a few waitlists, started studying again 6 weeks ago and have since taken PTs that were 150 and 151. Best score on a practice LR section was -5, but I average around -10. Best score on practice RC was -7, but I average around -10.

I'm not shooting for the stars here as a nontraditional student with a great resume, professional writing experience, master's degree, etc. I would be happy to get a 155-160 for the schools I'm looking at, but it seems like the constant drilling isn't doing much.

(My accommodations are time & a half.)

Tagged areas of weakness by 7Sage:

LR:

• conditional reasoning

• link assumption

• flaw or descriptive weakening

• quantifier

RC:

• critique or debate

• problem-analysis

I don't have thousands to spend. I work 2 jobs + pet sit. Willing to spend up to $400 in the month of October.

Any takers?

When I went into college, I was in a completely different track that didn’t suit my academic strengths at all, and I also worked part time on top of that. My GPA the first year going into college tanked and it just wasn’t a good fit. I ended up changing my path and major, maintained the part time employment and was able to increase my semesterly GPAs and graduate with a little over a 3.0 overall. While a 3 isn’t bad, I do think it would’ve done me better to switch earlier but it is what it is. I’m not really sure where to begin to explain the initial dip to what would be a 3.8 in my last semester. “Switching my major” literally just sounds like a cop out considering there’s a little more to the story (ie, bad fit and work). So…where do I start while keeping it concise?

I just got my Sept 2026 LSAT score back, and I did 3pts worse than the first time I took it. In Nov 2025 I got a 167, but just got a 164. The crazy part is that I studied more the second time; I should have done better or at least the same on paper.

I'm looking for advice on if I should retake again, write an addendum(not sure what I would even say), or something else. I plan on applying this cycle. So, I wonder if the chance that I get a better score in November outweighs the benefits of applying early.

I already canceled my August score and just got back a September score that was even lower. Would it look bad to admissions to have two cancelled scores? Would I have to write an addendum if I did?

What are y'all doing to improve your performance on conditional reasoning? I feel like I know the keywords & tricks to introduce sufficient and necessary assumptions, and my former tutor last fall even told me I was good at it. But when it comes to anticipating, for some reason, I'm lost or just get it totally wrong. Or I over-diagram when I don't even need to diagram (shoutout Blueprint prep...)

Sorry to be so vague -- just wondering what has helped other people.

Hello, I have been studying for many months, slowly getting an understanding of the test and going through the curriculum. I have my first LSAT coming up soon and can't seem to close the gap between my PT score and my blind review. I will regularly get in the 150s on PTs but do way better on the BR. I know that when I am taking the practice tests I don't feel like I have enough time to get through all of the questions, however if i try to speed up I end up getting more questions wrong. Does anyone have any advice on the best way to close this gap between my practice tests and blind reviews?

I've been studying for awhile, and I've made some progress but recently it seems everything I am doing is trending downward. Its discouraging and frustrating to say the least. Any tips on how to push through a difficult time or through a plateau stage?

I've been studying consistently since July, took the September LSAT which I'm pretty sure I was very very far my usual PTs as I didn't finish and felt much more unsure than I usually do. Even still, I'm having a big problem with sharpening my accuracy to the 170s. I started with a 160 diagnostic score in February, and feel like after a good few months studying, I don't understand what's still holding me back. I don't really have any question types I struggle with, but seem to make mistakes in judgement probably about 2 too many times with each section.

Any advice from someone in similar cirmcumstances? I think I'm just frustrated with how the needle isn't moving on my missed questions.

Hi everyone!

I took the LSAT with about two months of practice in August and got a 164. I am going to retake it in November. I haven't really studied since August as I have had a lot of other things going on in life. I would love to get into the 170s, but am wondering how to maximize my retake score with the time I have left. I am not sure what the most efficient routine or study methods would be as I am kind of in an awkward in between phase coming off a fairly long break from studying.

Thank you for reading and I would appreciate any advice!

So I'm taking the LSAT in October and November, and I have noticed that Reading Comp is starting to fight back.

I haven't really struggled too much in RC, but I also havent put too much focus into the unique types of RC questions that are on the test (think the skills 7sage taught are more important than styles of qs). TBH Logic has been the main focus of my study journey. Timing is certainly an issue, not all the time, but it is present in a few of the PTs.

What im wondering though is if anyone has advice on how to apply the skills 7sage has taught for RC, specifically the skim reading, labeling paragraphs, and making a "skeleton" of the passage.

Ive noticed some RC sections from PT's write the passages so you legit can't apply those skills, where a question will ask you about a specific sentence from a paragraph, or about a hypothetical view on one part of the passage. At that point the passage basically forces you to read word by word what its about, or forces you to reread a question a half dozen times to find its answer.

None of the lessons really say what to do when everything is a passage is relevant/important, or when you need to read a passage for one specific hypothetical argument out of a dozen. Any advice on what some of you have done in RC, skill wise, would be so helpful 🙏

Hi all - I'm aiming to take the LSAT in Feb - May for the Fall 2027 application cycle, and this is my first full PT test. I took some LR sections before, but mainly have gone through the study plan/foundations that 7Sage created. I only really started buckling down and studying daily/with discipline within September.

I think I'm looking for...support? Reassurance? I am aiming for 170 or higher, so scoring 157 (albeit on my first PT, kind of a diagnostic, with no rush to take an official LSAT anytime soon) makes me nervous. I'm a perfectionist, struggle with imposter syndrome, and trying not to be discouraged, lol.

Logically, I can push off the test until August of 2027 of course, but is this a decent LSAT PT score to baseline off of? According to the analysis, I struggled on Conditional Translation in LR and "purpose" questions for RC Section 1.

It's kind of interesting to me that my score became better as the sections progressed, maybe I was really nervous for my first PT, and then calmed down as the questions came through?

Any thoughts, guidance, wisdom, encouragement, is welcome!

Hi all, wondering if they give you scrap paper during the LSAT (no paper accommodations for me). I sometimes scribble things down during practice tests and want to get out of the habit if I will not have paper for the real thing. I've seen conflicting info online.

Thanks so much!
