I am wondering if there is a comprehensive list of law school informational/admissions info sessions? It's a bit exhausting to dig through every school's admissions page to find their webinars.

Hello everyone! Long story short, I took the LSAT in 2025, took about 6 months off from studying, studied again, and retook it about a year later after my first test. When practicing, I was scoring higher than my first time by quite a bit, around 3-5 points, which is what I was going for. However, when I took it, I scored the same as my first test. I was super disappointed because I felt good that day, and I really have no idea what happened. I took the LSAT a month later and increased my score by 7 points, which was great! The thing is, does it look bad that I increased my score by 7 points in a month? Technically, it was around the score I was getting on most of my practice tests, and that extra month of studying got me an extra point or 2 but admissions only sees the numbers, so I don't know if I should explain, and if I should, I don't really have an excuse; I guess I just had a bad test day. I don't know how else I can describe it. Is anyone else in this situation, or does anyone have advice?

😊 Happy

Highest PT yet!

Feeling very proud and excited about my most recent PT score (166) on PT 156.

I scored a 163 on the August exam and am confident I can score similar to this in October or November (manifestation to the umph degree). I would squeak out if I got this score on either of those tests!!

While I am clearly not close to a perfect score, I am happy to try walk through some specific questions with folks who struggled with this PT.

Finally figured out how to best review my drills (yay) and I realized how I generally have a lot of problem with correctly identifying the force of an argument and am just not very sensitive to it in general. How can I drill/practice this? Any specific exercises/games?

For example, I'm almost always good on MC/NA/SA questions, but Strengthen/Weaken/MSS/MBT/MBF (which is a massive list) are either a hit-or-miss or takes 2:30.

Any advice is appreciated!

9/17 EDIT: Thanks for your feedback! We're planning to increase the width and decrease the height of our tester to bring it more in line with what you'll experience on test day.

-------

OP:

We got conflicting reports after August about whether our current tester looks right.

If you took the official September test, could you let us know what you think? Check out how an RC drill looks at 100% zoom (so ctrl/cmd + or - until 100%) and your desired font size (change through accessibility options) and tell us how it compares. (If you took the test remotely, please let us know your laptop or monitor size.) Thanks in advance for the feedback!

Many of the schools I'm applying to have questions about whether I've ever been a party in a civil action; here's an example from one application:

"Have you ever been a complainant, party or witness to or otherwise involved in any civil or criminal action, proceeding or investigation?"

I haven't yet been involved in something like this, but coincidentally a few months ago, I was in a pretty serious car accident, and I'm currently working with an injury attorney on a personal injury claim. The case may be settled in the next month with the insurance company, but it may not--it's a whole mess having to do with the possibility of opening up the policy, and I'm guessing that would end up involving a civil suit of some kind.

Any advice on how to answer this question? One other factor is that I'm taking the November LSAT, so my application likely won't be reviewed until December anyway. Should I just wait a few months to see how this turns out? Do I need to update the Admissions department for each school if a lawsuit ends up being filed after I submit my application?

🙃 Confused

Need Help on Disjunction/"Or"

Hi everyone,

I'm very confused by how to interpret "or"/disjunction in conditional logic.

For the sentence "If A or B don't occur, then C occurs",

Does this imply:

1) /(A or B) -> C

2) (/A or /B) -> C

Let's say A occurs and B doesn't.

For Interpretation 1, the sufficient assumption would not be fulfilled; "A or B" is fulfilled since B is fulfilled. Since the conditional only works if "A or B" isn't true (the "/"), the conditional fails.

For Interpretation 2, the sufficient assumption WOULD be fulfilled; "/B" is fulfilled; since only one needs to be fulfilled, the condition works and we can infer C.

I'm not sure if that explanation made sense to anyone else. If it did, can someone explain which interpretation is accurate and WHY?

(I come from a Computer Science background and so this is the way it makes sense to me.)

Hi!! I know we can track days when we have a streak but I was wondering if there was a way to customize so that I can see how many logins I’ve done for the month instead of just what my streak number is. Also sometimes I have a built in rest day and that affects my streak but then I can’t even see what my last streak was. If there is a way to do this, please lmk! Thanks!!

Took the August LSAT - got way lower than my typical practice exams but now I am just completely traumatized by how difficult it felt for me and am worried this'll be a common reoccurrence for upcoming LSATs....

I must say, i really wish 7Sage had the games function last year when I wrote the LSAT for the first time. It has helped me improve my conditional, negation and other skills in a way drilling didn't help. I wanna see more games!!

Hi everyone!

I had a question about remote testing for this upcoming October LSAT session and was wondering if anyone is in a similar situation? I live in Victoria, B.C., off the coast of Vancouver. The closest testing centre for me is in Vancouver and will take more than, or slightly less than, 3 hours to get to by car, or closer to 4 hours on public transit (I have to take a ferry).

I called LSAC this morning asking when I can expect to hear back regarding my request, and they said the administrators would start going over requests on September 22nd (test centre registration day) and that I should not book a testing location until I hear back about my request. Since LSAC says that only a very limited number of candidates will be approved for remote testing, I'm afraid they will deny my request, and I won't be able to secure a desirable time/date for in-person testing.

If anyone is going through a similar situation, please let me know what you plan on doing! I would appreciate some insight :)

😪 Sad

Feeling so discouraged

I did my Sept 2026 LSAT and the first two sections felt great. Then after the break there was a HUGE technical error and I got kicked out after FULLY reading passage 2. The technical error lasted about 40 minutes and then we got placed right back where we were - so I had to

1) catch up on the reading because after 40 minutes it becomes foggy

2) Answer all the questions with the passage

3) do this in probably 4 minutes to keep on track of my timing.

To say the least I was freaking out. The testing centre was confused and it was just a mess. I finally get my anxiety calmed down and go to passage 3 - WHICH I GOT KICKED OUT AGAIN FOR 40 MINUTES. This is where it started to go downhill, shes crying in the test centre, doesn't know if i will finish the test and also has things to do which did not account for a 2 hour delay. Once i finally got back i was in the last section - which people were leaving at this point and it was very distracting. Anyways, I got approved for a retest date but i am feeling DEFEATED. I am working so much now and have to retake the test in 8 days – ugh.

Need motivation to start studying again for 8 more days while I work 7 of them leading up to the test 😔

(also this is my 3rd time taking the LSAT and first time I had felt confident going in)

I've recently hit a plateau in my PTs. In the past month, I have gotten 163-160-162-161 with blind reviews in the low to mid 170s. I'm anywhere from -3 to -6 in LR with my typical section being -5. RC is all over the place but I see myself improving a lot (even if it's not translating to PTs yet). I feel like I need to switch up the way I'm studying in LR. I struggle the most with flaw questions and questions with heavy conditional reasoning. Under timed conditions, I make small mistakes in my diagrams and chains that cause me to get the question wrong. Untimed I feel fine. Does anyone have any tips to grab a few more points? I'm taking October and November and my goal score is a 165+ to be a competitive applicant at my top schools (I'm a splitter). Any advice is very much appreciated!

Hi!

Does anyone in the DFW area want to get together and study together for a few sessions? I always find it helpful to catch myself when I talk it through, or hear someone else's way of thinking through it!

Hi Everyone,

Just finished the September LSAT and do not feel confident with how I did. I was PTing at 170-174 range in the leadup and I am worried the score will come back lower than this. So my question is can I submit applications to law schools in October as I originally had planned and still take the November LSAT? I heard that LSAC will send your updated scores to the schools you already applied to.

Do you guys find it useful to watch the videos explaining questions even when you get them confidently correct? I have been debating watching them on the lessons or just moving past in an effort to get more practice in when I felt the question to be easy.

@JacobBaska I want to include synopses of relevant research projects I conducted throughout college in my law school applications. However, I can't figure out if I should include the synopses in a CV or PDF. The first option puts my resume and research in one tidy place but the document goes over the 1-page standard for recent college graduates. Conversely, the second option separates my resume and research but at least then my resume will be a single page. Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you!

For starters, I received my August LSAT score and it was a sad 146... So, I am in desperate need of a tutor it seems. I admittedly do not make a great income, so I cannot afford most tutors and their rates... However, I am willing to pay a rate of $50 to $90/hour if possible as I understand this is an investment that needs to be made.

Another thing I would like to share is that I am a neurodivergent individual -- ADHD and anxiety disorder. If anyone would be willing to work with me, and see if we are a good match, I would be more than happy to do so! (:

Hello, LSAT peeps! 👋🏾

I’m 37 and officially starting my LSAT study journey tomorrow! 🎯 My goal is to take the exam in January 2027, and I’m excited (and admittedly a little nervous) to see where this journey takes me.

It’s been a long time since I’ve been a student, so getting back into study mode feels both unfamiliar and exciting. But honestly? I’m absolutely loving the process so far. There’s something really motivating about challenging yourself to learn something new and pursue a goal that once felt so far away.

I’d love to connect with others who are currently studying for the LSAT or starting their journey, especially anyone working toward a high score. 📚🧠

Let’s encourage each other, share strategies, celebrate the wins, and push through the inevitable moments of frustration. 😂

January 2027, here we come! 🚀

Who else is on this journey with me?

I am at the point in my LSAT journey that I decided to write letters to the future children (I don't even have, mind you), telling them that they had better appreciate all the mind-numbing, gut-wrenching, self-abusive work their future momma is doing right now.

I demand respite!
