Hi everyone! I'm looking for an LSAT study buddy who's interested in studying together on a regular basis.

I live in East Harlem, and my office is on the Upper East Side (though I don't have to go in every day, or I can head there after lunch). I'm hoping to find someone who can meet in the mornings for 2–3 hours of focused study, ideally every weekday.

We could study at a library or a coffee shop on the Upper East Side or in Midtown. The goal is simply to keep each other accountable and stay focused.

If you're interested, please feel free to text me at 347-278-6689.

Balancing LSAT Study and Application Prep

Hi everyone! I made a post about this a couple of weeks ago, and I can confidently say I haven't been balancing things well. :(

I feel like I'm not making enough progress on either my LSAT prep or my applications.

I've definitely been spending much less time studying for the LSAT than I should, and I'm getting really nervous since my August LSAT is only four weeks away.

At the same time, all I've done for my applications is put together a school list. I still haven't figured out my personal statement outline.

Does anyone have advice on how to balance both? I want to stay disciplined and make solid progress on both my LSAT and my applications, but it honestly feels overwhelming. How are you all managing your time?

This is fascinating to me. Does anybody have an answer/explanation for this? My hunch is that it’s b/c Flaw Qs are closer to Inference Qs, which I love.

I have been at this now hardcore for a number of months, for the first time in a long time I feel like I am actually making progress growing towards my goal. Rather than testing at 150, I am seeing 155 with my blind reviews into the 60s.

Its humbling to think that time is the greatest teacher and that progress comes to those who are consistent. One day it will all make sense to you and fall in God's plan. Trust the process, embrace the journey, and never give up. While you may not see the tangibles from day to day, month to month however is where the progress shines through.

To everyone, keep up the great work!

From a fellow LSAT taker

Hi!! Looking for people who want to study together in NYC for the September and October exams. Please message me if you're available!! Was thinking NYPL or any libraries/cafes in Manhattan!

I am taking the August LSAT and despite beginning my studying half a year ago I am still stuck in the 150s and fluctuating between 150-156ish. The biggest problem I have is that I cannot sit still and focus for long periods of time. Has anyone else with ADHD found a way to deal with this?

Would greatly appreciate any advice!

i have the worst gpa on the planet lol, and I’m not the greatest standardized test taker. Im shooting for 176-180 because my GPA is that bad. Idk when to take the test but i hope that i can get the right score and get used to this test because whew, im nowhere near my goal right now. Im depending on this.

Has anyone else noticed drastic differences in accuracy between their initial attempts versus their blind review? I just finished an RC section scoring 7 less incorrect answers on my blind review compared to my first take and this is not an anomaly.

I was wondering whether anyone was able to bridge this gap and how they went about doing it.

I am retaking the LSAT in October, and figured I would just apply in october/november once my score was released. My question is should I apply when apps open in September with my old score and then have CAS automatically update it, or do future test date and have the score updated once it is in.

My BR and timed gap is just discouraging especially since i’ve grinded from a 145 till now

Any tips on how to close this gap? I’m trying to hit 165/ 170 before September

I am planning to take my LSAT in October, but I have been plateauing for months. I took the official LSAT twice so far and had scores in the 140's. I feel like I understand the the content (mostly), and on blind reviews I have been getting 157-160s. I just feel like my actual PT score hasn't gotten any better, and I am feeling the pressure of the days passing by and my actual score not improving. I genuinely don't know what to do, and I feel like nothing is working. I feel like I've been studying wrong or something, and every one else is getting it, but I am not.

help?

I went through a different test prep company to assist with my personal statement, all other relevant essays, and my resume. I want to make sure I am putting my best foot forward when I apply to law schools for the 2027 term and need to have a second set of eyes to review my completed essays.

Does 7Sage offer this service?

Hey y'all. I am planning on taking the August LSAT, so am in the final stretch of my preparation. I am working through the 150s practice tests, and have thus far taken PT 150, PT 151 and PT 156. I got a 165 on PT 150, a 162 on PT 151, and a 170 on PT 156. These were all taken within the last two weeks roughly four days apart. I read that 150-155 are the most accurate to the real exam, and I noticed on PT 156 the second RC section was identical to a section in the July 2020 exam. (I saw on reddit the old RCs were harder so I did the 2020 tests lol). Will that be the case for PT157-159?

Basically my question is how do I gauge readiness and last minute prep at this point? My goal is basically 170. I would be very happy with higher but I primarily don't want to get lower than that. I posted around a month ago when I was stuck at 165 and got advice on making an error log which I have found very helpful. Right now I am essentially redoing all the PTs plus the newest tests I have not done before. In addition, I am doing drill sets of just the Level 4 and Level 5 questions. My concern at this point is not ability but consistency. I find myself getting stressed in the tests as I get closer and essentially leaving questions I know the answers to on the table. I think I performed on PT 156 today because I got 170s on PT 127 and PT 147 over the last few days so I knew it was doable. Basically, what are suggestions for this last month to prioritize the questions that will be most similar to the real thing?

This was way longer than I intended but I mostly wanted to articulate my thoughts, thanks for reading. :)

In reading the Logical Loophole book, I was taught to always read the stimulus first; however, I have been thinking it might be better to read the question stem first on some questions. For example, on questions where you have to accept the truth of the argument, like NA for example, it is not very useful to analyze the argument because you have to accept it as true. What do you think?

I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO BAILEY L! AFTER WATCHING HER JULY 6 - NECESSARY ASSUMPTION VIDEO I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD ! I HAVE LEARNED THE BEST WAY FOR ME TO ATTACK THESE QUESTIONS USING MBT METHOD - NEGATION METHOD DOESN'T HELP ME ! THANK YOU AGAIN BAILEY !

Whenever I find an answer I like, I tend to ignore the following answers (I read them, but don't give them fair weight in my evaluation). How do I avoid this?

Hi everyone, my name is Monet, and I am taking the LSAT in October! I was wanting to start a study group to potentially meet in person at least a couple times a month. My main goals in starting this study group are to have other people with the same intention hold me accountable and help me stay motivated! If you would like to join or study together sometime, please reach out!

I am submitting applications for the second time this fall, with the plan to attend law school in the Fall of 2027. I have two letters of rec that I used last cycle from my college professor and college debate coach. I have been working for almost a year now as a legal assistant, and I am trying to decide if adding a third letter of recommendation would help for my applications (for places where three are accepted). If I do include one, I would also need to decide if I ask someone I work with now or a professor from college. Does anyone have advice on how to decide the number of letters and who to ask?

I was really excited to recently find our that 7 Sage has a mobile app! Unfortunately, the option to log in with Google does not exist, and trying to log in with the Google credentials I would have used did not work. Is there a way to get into my account otherwise?

Hey Guys, Im new to 7sage. I was studying on and off for the June LSAT and scored a 148. For the schools I want I need to score between a 163-168. Im retaking it in october. Does anybody have any strategies for scoring higher or techniques that are not explicit in the course content we have here? I'm kinda struggling to figure this all out.

specifically to break into the 170s as someone in the high 160s?

Is there any benefit to turning it off? Does it "inflate" your BR score? I start my practice block this week, aiming for 1-2 PTs a week (I work full time and have 4-5 weekly dr/pt appointments so not too much time in a day). I want to maximize my BR benefit. My hesitation with keeping it on is that it points out questions that I did not flag and instead felt confident on, prompting me to review them only because it's recommended. I don't look at why it was flagged because if it says the question was incorrect, I know I can eliminate the answer choice without fully going through the logical reasoning. All this to say, does anyone have any thoughts on this/which was is more beneficial? I took the test in 2023 and scored a 160, but I did not do any BR in my very few PTs I took (only 3 highest being a 166). I'm aiming for 165-170 by September/October. Thanks in advance!

I keep rushing through LR, and I feel like it's costing me points. I'm frequently left with 10+ min on LR sections, and if I get a question wrong the first time, I almost always get it right quickly when blind reviewing, so I feel like I have the foundation; I'm just not applying it and taking my time.

I think I hurry through because I'm scared that if I spend too long on a question, I'll second-guess my correct answer (even if this is seemingly unfounded lol). Does anyone have any advice on forcing yourself to slow down and think about questions?

Hey yall I’m trying make sure I’m understanding how to diagram when these words Unless/Except/Until/Without come up in conditional sentences.

“Unless your GPA stays at 3.5+, you don’t keep the scholarship”

I have learned to cancel out the unless and don’t as two negatives and get:

If gpa stays at 3.5+, then you keep scholarship ….

But I did the 7sage lsats game and it’s telling me I got this conditional wrong….

My theory is I’m missing a step here of then making what follows the unless the necessary condition so:

First cancel don’t and unless

Then make what follows the unless the necessary so I’d get:

If you keep scholarship then gpa stays at 3.5+

Is what is above the correct way to diagram the original statement in quotations? Thank you

The title is basically my question.

I’m looking at Notre Dame, and my GPA is a 3.85, which is below their median. Does that mean I’d realistically need around a 171 LSAT to have a good chance of getting in?

For context, I have some solid softs:

• D1 athlete

• Draft eligible

• Two years of work experience at a global nonprofit

• Master’s degree

I’d love to hear what others think, especially if you’ve been through the admissions process.

Thanks so much!
