Hi everyone,

I am taking the October 9 exam, which means I have about two weeks left until I get this test done. As I’m sure with most people, stress and anxiety around the test heightens when getting closer to the LSAT, and I am certainly no exception. My goal score is a 165, yet my recent PT’s aren’t giving me much hope (I’d actually be okay with a 160, my highest pt is a 159 with a 168 BR).

Getting to the point, I have not had a support system for the LSAT. My parents have graciously paid for my entire 7Sage subscription and half of the LSAT fee (which I will one day reimburse them for, but that’s a surprise), but that’s all I have. None of my friends have asked me how I’m doing, and although they do try, my parents don’t really, get, how the LSAT works.

So, my question- in these last two weeks where things are tough and I want to quit and I’m tired and frustrated, what are some recommendations you have to keep me sane while lacking a support system?

Love,

A 20 year old who just wants to go to law school next year

I'm planning on taking the LSAT July/August of next year and studying at a kinda even pace till then. I'm hoping for a 99th percentile score and was looking for someone who'd want to review and drill both tests and sections with me with low pressure. Just bouncing off "human" ways of understanding the questions, thanks!

Another hyper-specific question lol, but about a year ago I used a different prep company a lot. I switched over to 7sage earlier this year and have loved it. However, a lot of my PTs show up as "60% fresh" etc., etc., and I didn't know if it were counting drills/sections I did with the other company, which is of course also connected to Lawhub. This is no big deal for me if this is the case, b/c I'm pretty sure I've forgotten those questions. Just wanted to know though

I lowkey have like zero stories to write about for my personal statement; I'm literally like that graphic of Tony Snell with 0 points, 0 rebounds, and 0 assists after like 28 minutes. Anyone got any advice for what I could do?

I’ve been finding the 7Sage live Zoom classes extremely helpful and engaging. I really appreciate the instructors and how interactive the classes are, and I've found the live format to be very beneficial to my learning.

I wanted to bring up a small issue I’ve noticed and see if anyone else has experienced the same thing. When someone turns on their camera, Zoom automatically brings their video forward and places it prominently right beside the instructor's video. Of course, this makes complete sense when someone is speaking, since it allows everyone to see who is talking. However, when the person isn’t speaking, having their video displayed prominently beside the instructor can make it difficult to keep attention on the instructor and the screen being shared.

I find myself noticing things like someone playing with their hair, making facial expressions, talking to someone else in their setting, or getting up from/fidgeting in their seat. I’m sure none of this is intentionally meant to be distracting, but because their video is positioned right beside the instructor's, it’s difficult not to notice.

I’m wondering if there’s a Zoom setting I might be missing that could help with this, similar to turning off the chat preview. I’ve tried pinning the instructor’s video and playing around with the arrow/Zoom view settings, but unfortunately I haven’t found a way to keep other participants’ videos from popping up beside the instructor.

Alternatively, I wonder if it might be helpful for students who aren’t speaking to consider keeping their cameras off and then turning them on when they’re unmuted and speaking. I completely understand, though, that people may have different preferences and reasons for keeping their cameras on.

If I’m the only one being thrown off by this, I completely accept that it may just be a “me problem,” and I’ll continue trying to figure out how to work around it! I’d genuinely love to hear what others think and whether anyone else has experienced the same thing. 💗

Hello, guys I have my profile open so u can see my stats, as well as my drills stats, but I am genuinely curious if anyone has made a jump from the 150s to 160s in 8 weeks. btw cant afford tutoring rn, and I am unemployed ( recession lol), so I can dedicate as much time to the LSAT as I want. I scored a 153 in August, but my test anxiety was sooo bad I legit didn't sleep the night before. I think if I slept, I would've scored in the 155-156 range. I want to score 162+ in November, which I know sounds ambitious, but I am willing to do anything. Please give me ur most unhinged methods and what you did for a big score jump for anyone who is in my range. I know it sounds ambitious, but I am choosing to be delusional and aim high!

strategy for above situation

I am applying for the Law School Cycle of 2027. I was going to have my final LSAT be October, and I am essentially done with my essays/resume/letter of recs. However, I always have a what if I do better feeling and debating signing up for November. So far law school admission counselors have been saying before January is "early" but I know it is so competitive that past years before Thanksgiving is considered early. Do you think it is worth it to take the November, worse case scenario if Oct doesn't go well, and apply by December 2nd (when the results come out). Or is that way too late? Thank you!

Hi, searching for some guidance on how to ask for letters of rec and how my people im asking should submit them to LSAC. maybe Im missing something but im just trying to figure out now. LMK

Hi! Looking for tutoring to master Flaw questions and a few others to help me break out of the 155 jail, as I would like to apply this cycle! My test date are oct and nov and I can only meet once/twice a week. If anyone thinks they can help that would be great!

We just added 2 new games:

• Stem Stash 🐿️: Train your ability to recognize LR question stems

• Signal Fires 🔥: Practice making inferences and avoiding wrong inferences from conditionals

And we updated The Monster Files with 1 new case (Mothman).

We also added the ability to resume where you left off in any game. So if you navigate to another page or try a different game and come back, you'll have the option to continue your previous run or start over.

(Download the standalone LSAT Games app for iPhone or Android to keep playing when you're offline.)

I just finished the foundations course on SevenSage and my score on my first PT after foundations just dropped 9 points in comparison to my initial cold diagnostic. I'm feeling defeated. I know that this is a good point to see where my score is and to improve it from there. I am more familiar with what the test looks like but I was having a GIGANTIC problem with time. I would have expected my score to stay the same or at least improve a few points here and there. I was taking my time with the first 10ish problems and then seeing the clock tick and rushing the rest of the exam under time pressure. It was not a good feeling. I am gonna spend the next few days deep reviewing. First I will blind review and understand why I got every singe questions wrong. I'm feeling so overwhelmed. I got through only 2-ish passages on RC, rushed the third, and didn't even get to the last passage. Is anyone experiencing something similar upon completing the foundations straight off the bat?

On 7sage, there are difficulty ratings for each question, 1-5.

How many of each are on the actual LSAT? 20% of each difficulty? or mostly level 3-5 questions?

I'm interested to know so I can better expect what the actual LSAT will be like

Hi all! I’m planning on applying during the Fall 2027 cycle and while I’m studying for the LSAT currently, I’m wondering about CAS/LSAC app timing.

Specifically, is there such a thing as “too early” to start putting your application together? I’ve been out of grad school since 2020 so I’m not waiting on grades or anything like that, and I keep in contact with a handful of professors both from UG and grad. Here’s my thinking and I’d like advice or thoughts:

For each of my profs (one from UG, one from grad): send an email asking for a LOR and attach updated resume along with my planned personal statement.

I haven’t purchased CAS yet from LSAC, but is there any reason not to? Or, is there any reason not to start putting it together slowly over the next year, so I don’t have to rush and stress next fall more than I already will?

To note, I am a working professional so my “free” time is limited, hence the desire to start early and chip away at things I can do now.

I’m not considering asking for LORs right this minute, but probably by April or May, if I can. I don’t know if the LOR portal or whatever LSAC provides is open year round or only once Sept 1st hits per cycle.

Any and all information would be greatly appreciated! Thanks everyone!

Would love to meet some people who want to Blind Review LR sections together! I’m currently scoring around the high 140s/low 150s and am reallyyyy hoping to hit 160 by November. If you’re interested in studying together, join the study group!

We just updated our admissions predictor to account for softs and timing—both optional—so you can get more personalized predictions.

So, at my height I've gotten to a 172-175, but generally I am at 170, and feel like I improved most dramatically, not when I had private tutoring, but when there were office hours on 7sage and I could go over questions where the explanations did not make sense.

Now, sadly, confusingly, 7sage got rid of this feature. And I have noticed a stalling in my progress, where I am not reasonably able to get mid 170s regularly.

What I want to know, is from you top scorers, who were obviously very detail oriented in your studying, how did you write up lessons/takeaways from questions where the AC explanations on 7sage or out there generally were unhelpful?

I find at this point the explanations out there aren't helpful, the chatbot isn't helpful, and what I am trying to do is understand the questions that I got right but unconfidently or that I got wrong well enough that I can discern a pattern that I can use in future LSAT questions.

Please please share the insight!! How!!

Hi everyone, I'm scoring in the mid 150s but need a 160+ for November. I'm also taking the October LSAT but have not been able to figure out an effective studying method. I am decent at RC but LR is my biggest issue. When I do an untimed section I get around a -4, but timed it goes up to around -10.. My worst question types are flaw, strengthen/weaken, conditional reasoning, and phen-hypothesis.

Sometimes I get perfect 5/5 on my timed drills on lvl 4-5 questions but then get stuck on a lvl 2 or 3 which makes no sense. So if anyone has any advice on what I should do to improve quickly please let me know! Should I do untimed short drills, do timed full sections, or take a PT every other day? I'm not sure.

Hey guys! I’m scheduled to take my first LSAT in October, and I’m wondering if I should still register for the November test just in case.

Would you recommend registering for November now, or waiting until I get my October score back? The next test after November would be January, which feels a little too late for me since I’m hoping to apply this cycle.

I’d really appreciate any advice from people who have been in a similar situation! Thank you!

We need a game that trains the above in a math kind of way and in a visual way (preferable before november 1st LMAO

We just shipped a new setting that gives you more control over when PT equivalent scores are displayed.

Quick refresher: PT equivalent converts your performance on a drill or section into a PT score using statistical modeling. Some of you have told us it's not that helpful for drills, and that's fair. The prediction is more robust for sections than for drills, and even within drills, a 30-question drill produces a much more reliable estimate than a 3-question drill.

So we've added a toggle in Settings > Preferences that lets you control PT equivalent separately for sections and drills.

The new defaults:

• Sections: PT equivalent is on

• Drills: PT equivalent is off

If you liked seeing PT equivalent on your drills and you're wondering where it went, just head to your settings and turn it back on.

Decided I am not going to take the LSAT again (85% sure), but me and my friend came up with a new term "skydive school" : the school you have relatively no chance of getting into, but you just apply to anyways

Hi everyone! I’m looking for someone who can help me with structuring and developing my law school personal statement, as well as providing honest feedback and advice.

I have a draft and a general direction, but I’d love some guidance from someone experienced with law school admissions.

If you have any recommendations for someone you’ve worked with, please let me know! Ideally looking for something reasonably priced.

Thank you!

I'm not feeling super confident in my September score, and I'm not positive that I will have done much to improve by October. Do we think that taking the November LSAT and applying as soon as I get my scores on December 2nd will absolutely ruin my chances at t14s? My dream school is UMich, but my current 167 is below their 25th percentile...
