Just asking for some tips! Taking it on the 6th scoring anywhere from 159-161, any tips to maybe jump it up by a point or two before the test?

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for an experienced tutor to help me push past a stubborn plateau. My current average is a 164 (highest PT: 165), and my goal is to break 170+ for the September exam.

I already have a strong background in the foundations and spend a lot of time doing targeted drilling and in-depth reviews of my wrong answers. However, I’m consistently getting stuck in a few specific ways:

• Logical Reasoning: I consistently narrow it down to the correct answer and one distractor, and then overthink and talk myself into the wrong choice. I also frequently eliminate the correct answer because it feels like it makes too much of an assumption.

• Reading Comprehension: My main struggle here is just parsing dense text and misunderstanding the nuances of the passage or the questions.

• General: Regardless of the question type, I sometimes struggle with parsing confusing language, and there are always a few questions where I second-guess my way out of the right answer.

I don't need to relearn the basics; I need someone who can get into my head, correct my thought process for eliminating trap answers in LR, and help me parse RC more effectively.

If you have experience helping students bridge this specific mid-160s gap, please DM me with your rates and availability!

After your writing portion of the LSAT is processed, are you able to read what you wrote?

Hi everyone, I underestimated my personal statement and can't come up with any good, interesting topics. I wanna write about why I would be a good fit for law school, but so far I don't like what I have. If anyone has experience with writing PS and can read mine and give feedback, that would be great. Just looking for someone else's perspective on it because I'm unsure.

They changed the font in LawHub!

Last week:

We've updated our tester to match the font you'll see on test day. If you find the text too small, change the font size with "Accessibility options" in the right toolbar. LSAC's default is Large (125%).

Just wanted to say that I'm really grateful to 7sage for giving free access to fee-waiver students. There is no way I would've been able to afford and study the curriculum without 7sage's kindness. You have no idea how much of an impact this makes for us lower-income test takers. I'm forever indebted to 7sage and my GOATS, J.Y. and Kevin 🫶🫶🫶

Been at this studying thing for almost a year and finally seeing progress now that I've slowed myself down and started doing untimed. I think timing will always be an issue for me, but hopefully less big of a deal come November.

Hi I have been studying since January and I recently started taking PTs in July. Ive recently been focusing more on reading comprehension so I was expecting a little dip in my LR score, so the first section didn't surprise me at all. Im just surprised that I got 9 wrong in the final section, I was thinking this could be a stamina issue since I usually get 4-6 wrong per section. It felt like nothing was clicking and I kept re reading the same sentence multiple times on the last section. I've scored 161 on my last three PTs and usually that is because most of the misses are in RC. I thought if I fixed my RC issue then I can reach my goal of 165 but now I think my issue is stamina possibly?

Any tips to keep your brain just as engaged through all sections?

people who started in early 140s, how many points did you increase after 3- 4 months of studying if you studied 3-5 hours a day

I am planning on taking my first LSAT in November. I am 4 days away from finishing the foundations and was wondering if it was worth it to focus on the lessons or to prioritize drilling? I am getting worried that I am falling behind by spending too much time in one area.

I'm taking the LSAT next week and am praying that this energy follows me (and if it doesn't, that's okay! I've registered for Sept too). I would genuinely be so happy with a 165. Manifestation!!!

I have a question about drilling and long-term LSAT preparation.

I started using 7sage two weeks ago. Before that, I honestly knew almost nothing about how the LSAT worked. I had no understanding of conditional reasoning, the different question types, or the way the exam tests reasoning.

My diagnostic score was 135, but English is not my first language, so I think that score reflected both my lack of LSAT knowledge and the language barrier.

Right now I’m simply following the 7Sage study plan from the beginning. After each lesson, I complete the associated drills. Lately, I’m usually getting only 2/3 out of 5 questions correct, and then I spend a long time reviewing every question and every answer choice. I feel like I learn much more from the review than from the actual drilling.

My concern is that I probably won’t be taking the LSAT for at least another year. Since English isn’t my first language, I know my preparation will likely take much longer than average because I’m learning both the LSAT and advanced English reading skills at the same time.

I’m worried that by the time I’m ready to start doing lots of timed sections and full PrepTests, I’ll have already worked through most of the available questions. Because I review each question so thoroughly, I often remember the correct answer for weeks afterward. I’m afraid that when I come back to those questions later, I’ll remember the answer instead of reasoning through it, so the drills won’t be as useful.

How do people who study for a year or even longer usually handle this?

Should I continue following the study plan and doing all the drills without worrying about “using up” questions? Or should I be saving a large number of PrepTests and drill questions for the later stages of my preparation?

I’d really appreciate hearing how people who had a long study timeline approached this.

Thank you!

I have been dealing with moderate depression and anxiety for several years before I ever started preparing for the LSAT. My symptoms began during my senior year of high school, and over the years they have improved with long-term medication. I am generally able to manage my daily life now, but I still experience periods when stress becomes overwhelming. During occasional preparing days, I experience intense anxiety symptoms, such as a very fast and persistent heartbeat and trouble concentrating. I also have long-standing sleep problems, which may contribute to some of these symptoms. Outside of studying, I try to maintain my mental health through activities that help me recover emotionally, such as attending concerts, watching films, and going to live shows. I’m curious whether anyone here has gone through something similar. How do you handle daily anxiety and depression? I would really appreciate hearing about your experiences and any strategies. Thank you.

Hi everyone. I am really striving to go to Duquesne Law School. I have a 3.84 GPA and I have been scoring on practice tests between 153-155. I take the official LSAT on August 7, but I am starting to panic that this range is not going to be enough to get me into Duquesne. Any advice or suggestions?

Last PT before test day! I was feeling super discouraged because my previous PT was below my average, but lowering volume and anxiety levels does wonders!

Tips for getting better at RC? This is the first full test I've taken, and I've only worked on studying LR.

Happy Friday! If you're interested in applying to the 7Sage Fellowship, remember that applications are DUE AT 11:59PM EASTERN TIME TONIGHT. We look forward to reading your applications and welcoming the next cohort! Apply here: https://7sage.typeform.com/fellowshipapp

I was wondering if anyone would be willing to join a Christ-centered study group? You don't have to be a Christian to join. As I continue to get ready for the LSAT in November, I was hoping to find a group of people I could study with who shared similar interests. It would be great to have a group that could study together, share LSAT goals, hold each other accountable, give each other tips and motivation, and share the Word. Please let me know if you're interested. I was also thinking of creating a Discord too, but I don't want to get too ahead of myself. If you are interested, please let me know. All are welcome!

I just did PT140 and there's a HUGE gap between my BR score vs my actual score, more than half the time I'm between two answer choices and end up choosing the wrong one. Does anyone have any advice on closing this gap and selecting better the first time around?

For me parallel flaw/reasoning is one of my weakest question categories on the lsat not because I cannot solve them, I'm just very slow. I am so slow that when I encounter one on a section or preptest I am better off guessing and skipping rather than wasting the little time I have on it. When I do drills where I have unlimited time I think generally I get them right 80-90% of the time.

My current approach is to diagram the stimulus out on paper and then check each answer choice to see if it matches the structure and form of the stimulus. It's especially tricky for me when the form of the stimulus and correct AC are different because I have a hard time abstracting in my head.

I've been trying to improve by drilling more. I do something like 5 questions at a time medium to hardest difficulty with unlimited time. I think I've gotten better at getting these questions right, but not any better at improving my speed.

Does anyone have advice/tips?

I am confident in my LR ability with getting -1 and -2 multiple times on PTs and section practices. HOWEVER, RC is bringing my score down so so much. I am supposed to take the August exam in a week. What can I do to improve my RC?

I feel so good while doing RC, but then I get -10 wrong. I don't know what to do.

Pleaseeee we need an option to print out drills for paper accoms. Drills I'm doing kind of bad on and I think this is why. Test is in September please roll this out asap😭

For context, I signed up to take the June LSAT in congruence with graduating undergrad this past May. I didn't have anytime to really study and with the expensive nature of the exam, I went and took it anyway with low expectations of course. I scored a 150 which is exactly where I though it would be tbh. Since then, I have started a full time job and studied as much as I can with the timing of work and while its definitely going to take more of an effort on my part, I'm overall just feeling burnt out and slightly scared for this next exam I scheduled. I am not doing amazing on my practice drills and I am personally aiming in the 160-165 range. I know its possible, I'm just having a hard time with it all. I really want to apply this app cycle but I'm having this sinking feeling I may have to put it off another year all because of this score.

long story short....I'm in shambles.

I've been trying to complete a BR for a section I took yesterday, but the page won't finish loading. I can't select highlighting options, switch questions, or see the questions recommended for BR. I thought it was a me issue, but I've tried reloading the page, closing out of Chrome, restarting my computer, using incognito mode, and even using another browser. This has been an ongoing issue for at least the last 4 hours.

Not sure how to fix this and not sure whether it's just on my side or an issue with 7Sage's website, but help would be much appreciated since I'm taking the LSAT in a week and was kinda hoping to study...

Ok, as I was about to press send, the highlighter mode started working, but now I'm having another issue: if I highlight things in one colour, but then switch to another, everything previously highlighted disappears... Also, I still can't select other questions. PLS HELP thanks!
