Feeling burned out right before test day? In this episode, @AlexJacobs and @BaileyLuber tackle a question from Sharon, who's been studying for six months and has hit her target score on multiple practice tests but is battling mental fatigue with the April LSAT just days away. The hosts share practical advice on what to do (and what not to do) in the final stretch, including how to structure light study sessions, when to stop taking full practice tests, and why this last week is more about protecting your score than improving it. Bailey also shares a candid look back at her own LSAT journey and the lessons she learned the hard way across four attempts.

Everything You Need To Know About Conditional Logic!

We just published this video on conditional logic! It's a great overview of conditional concepts that will prepare you for drilling. It's also a good preview / refresher of our Conditional Logic module for those of you working through our lessons.

Also, you might find our Conditional Logic Cheat Sheet helpful. Check it out!

Hello!

I’m based in the Alhambra area and am looking to put together a group of people for some in-person study sessions. I have been studying since March, and the score of my most recent practice test was a 159.

I am very serious about my prep for this test, and am looking for equally consistent and disciplined individuals to study with for ~2hr once a week. My target range is 170+. I have some flexibility with my time, and though I would prefer a weekend I am also open to meeting weekdays in the morning.

I am planning for study sessions to take place at the Alhambra Library, in one of their study rooms. I am open to other study rooms within a ~15min radius (i.e. if someone has access to local college study rooms such as PCC). I am looking to have a structured format that would involve warm-ups, drills, and breakdowns.

We may be a good fit if you

- Are using a platform to organize your study

- Have a similar target goal (170)

- Are testing in a similar timeframe

- Are able to commit to once-a-week sessions

- Are comfortable thinking out loud

- Prioritize growth over ego

I’ve been averaging between 20-30 hours of studying a week on my own, and at this stage I feel the support of a few good partners would be extremely beneficial!

If you’re interested, please reach out with:

- Your test date, and if you’ve taken it before

- Your current PT range

- Your biggest LR/RC struggles + strengths

- What you want from a study partner

- What you bring to the table

- Any additional questions you may have for me

If it feels like a good fit, I will move forward with setting a definitive day + time that works for everyone. Thanks for your interest!

Recently I've noticed that the custom timing feature on LR and RC drills has been a little finicky. For example, if I want to create a drill and set the timer for say, 15:00 minutes, the page will start glitching once I begin entering my desired drill time into the text box. I never had issues with this before, but now, it feels like I have to fight my computer every time I want to create a custom time'd drill. Has anyone else had issues with this?

Just finished the LSAT core curriculum and frustrated that your Reading Comprehension timing isn't where you want it yet?

@AlexJacobs tackles a question from Zach, who's been drilling for a few weeks but can't hit the 8:45-per-passage average. Alex's honest answer: it's going to take time, and that's completely normal. No gimmicks, no shortcuts, just the reassurance that consistent daily practice is the only thing that actually works.

If you've ever felt behind on your LSAT prep timeline, this one's for you.

I wanted to ask the community and also maybe have 7Sage team chime in as I have been drilling with folks using the new "adaptive" feature that replaced the random question type setting. How has it been working for y'all? 🥹

I've been drilling in a group setting but for this past whole week I've been getting only conditional reasoning tag! I thought it was maybe just coincidence, but when others in my group streamed their drills, they got say, only flaws or evaluate. I'm guessing its based off our weaknesses but conditionals have actually been my strongest for the past few months...so even if I wanted to go with adaptive mode, I'm not sure how to impact the questions they throw at me...

Is there a way to change this to be truly random like it originally was?

Maybe I'm missing something... 🥲

Any help is appreciated! Thank you!

I just scored a 180 on PT144.

To God be the glory! You wouldn't believe how this test had me defeated, but now I am conquering the concepts and this next attempt will be my last. I claim victory over the exam. I will punch my ticket to law school and being of greater service to humanity soon. -Chris

Hi All,

I took the LSAT in 2025 and am starting law school in the fall. Like you, I studied under a tutor; I will bring only actionable steps that made a difference in my own performance curve.

For roughly two to three months, I took enough practice tests to start seeing questions before falling asleep at night. I'd like to help you hit your target score much sooner than that point, and with far fewer tests.

Wherever you may be (phase-wise) in your prep, I'll hit the ground running with you to help devise an efficient routine. I started at a baseline score of 150, and hit 170 in my prep after worrying less about scoring fluctuations (ironically).

The authors have all the time in the world to design questions that attempt to confuse, distort, and frustrate your beliefs—resulting in a test of your tension tolerance as much as any general reasoning ability. I will make sure to include practice strategies to mitigate overwhelming nerves or common stress.

Another area of interest I'd love to assist you with: any application essays you may have or want to start considering. I'm from a family of writers and see the drafting phase of an application as a chance to understand yourself from a stranger's perspective.

Let me know if you'd like to start studying.

I’ve been teaching and tutoring the LSAT for almost 25 years, since 2002. In that time I’ve worked as the national product manager for a major LSAT course, and worked with many hundreds of students, and helped to design courses from the ground up.

My LSAT philosophy is to work smarter, not harder. Narrow the test down to what you need to do to answer the questions, and don’t overcomplicate things needlessly. I focus on a high level approach to RC (get the big picture, then use the questions to research where you need to go into more depth) and having a clear plan of attack for each question type in LR. The goal is always to think about big picture changes to strategy; you’ll never see the same question again, but should take what you did wrong on one question as an indicator for what to do differently in your approach.

Tutoring sessions are usually two hours long; each session is pay as you go so you don't have to purchase a package of hours. I’m on the east coast and generally schedule between noon and 6 pm Tues-Sat, with other times negotiable on an individual basis. I graduated law school in 2006, have been admitted to the bar in NY and NC, and spend most of my time helping students prepare for the bar exam when I’m not working with LSAT students.

You can reach me by messaging me or emailing me directly at julielamberth@mac.com. If you email, please put “7Sage LSAT” in the subject line, and if you don’t hear from me within a day, follow up with a message here as your email may have been spam filtered.

Perfectionism can be your biggest enemy on the LSAT. In this episode, @AlexJacobs tackles a question from listener Mia about how to handle frustration and discouragement when missing questions during study sessions. Alex shares a personal story from his own LSAT experience and explains why the perfectionist mindset, while it may have served you in other areas of life, can actively hurt your score. The key mindset shift: a wrong answer isn't a setback, it's one of the most valuable learning opportunities in your prep. Tune in for practical perspective on how to build resilience, stay focused on the bigger picture, and turn every mistake into forward momentum on your path to law school.

I am trying not to freak out. But my most recent PTs have all been steadily decreasing by 1 or 2 points and the same for the blind review (directly proportionally). Plus side, I have been getting harder questions correct. Downside is that I am getting easier questions incorrect and overthinking them even in blind review. I am taking the exam in April. I know they just did a podcast on kind of the same thing, but like I don`t have that much time. I know it's probably stress (health and work), but I don`t feel stressed, just numb to new information. Am I plateauing?

Hello everyone, recently I was diagnosed with ADHD and as such, I've been considering the possibility of taking the exam in June with timing accommodations. I know personally that I've always struggled with timing during standardized testing since childhood, and even in admissions exams like the SAT in high school. However, I hear a lot of successful applicants with ADHD forgo accommodations altogether and score high, so I'd hate to be an outlier. My concern is that I already have 2 attempts without accommodations under my belt, and the last thing I want is a potentially higher score marred on Law School Applications by the fact that I may have taken the easy way out via accommodations. So my question in particular are for those who decided to take the LSAT with Accommodations, did they negatively impact your admissions process by any means?

How do you want to customize the study scheduler?

I've heard from roughly everybody who has ever used the study scheduler that they want more customization—but how, and why? Start with the problem you are trying to solve—e.g., "I get behind schedule," or "I don't want to do the PT that the study scheduler picked for me because…" If possible, explain why the current functionality (e.g. changing your plan type or end date in study plan settings) doesn't cut it. Then suggest a solution.

Help us make it better for you!

My law hub advantage expires April 1st and I will be renewing it at a later time in April. My 7sage subscription cycle is also on April 1st but I don't want to pay before renewing my lawhub because I know I cannot utilize 7sage without lawhub. If I pause my subscription March 31 and then unpause it when i resubscribe to lawhub will anything go wrong with my account? What happens when my account is paused? Thanks in advance!

Hi! I'm beginning to ask people for LOR for this upcoming cycle. I'm aiming to have 3 LOR (4 if you advise that's best). Who do law schools want to see as LOR? As of now, I'm planning to have one from my professor (graduated college last year, so that's still relatively fresh), one from the managing attorney at the law firm I worked at last summer, and one from my current boss (who is a senior paralegal at my law firm). Do you recommend I swap one of the professional LOR for an academic one? Or branch out from that completely?

I'll take any experience y'all have with this. Thank you!!!!

Hi all,

Im starting to transition from the course LR content to more drilling and improving speed.

Particularly, I noticed that almost every practice test and section, almost all my wrong answers on the last half to last quarter, where I move more quickly and guess.

While I clearly missed something to get them wrong, I feel like the time really gets to me, espcially since my BR are usually a lot better than my actuals.

I wonder if this is a common feature most people see and the best ways I should do drills (such as what questions to work on, how many should I do at once, what settings or timing features i should do ect).

Also, right now I'm using the notes feature to help me study what im getting wrong, how to do questions more efficiently, and what mistakes I made in lawgic.

Am I missing any critical steps in my review that help me?
