I started with a diagnostic of 165 in May and scored a 180 on the November exam. I offer personalized coaching (45$ per hour), group lessons as well as a free 45 minute consulation. My tutoring style focuses heavily on the reasoning presented in the argument and why an answer is correct.I am currently looking to take on 3-4 students and am willing to create personalized rills, lesson plans for your custom needs. Please reach out to me on 7Sage

Looking for study buddies in Boston/Cambridge!

My first test date is in November, and I will likely take the January 2026 test as well.

So, if anyone is interested, I will be available to study together in person/online at least 3 times a week.

I hope we can share our experience and make this journey more enjoyable than study alone:))!!

I really love the Smart Drill function! I love being able to confidently answer one question at a time, get my score/stats and review where my logic erred before moving on to the next question.

I think a way to make the function even better is if we were able to program custom question sets for Smart Drills. For example, I have been drilling Causal Reasoning and Necessary Assumptions recently, so I would like to be able to select CausR and NA questions in my Smart Drill. For me, working in this way allows me to test my understanding of problems and the question's logic better, as well as potential strategies for answering different question types quicker than, say, a traditional 5 question drill would (and I don't have to reset after those 5 questions are done).

Of course if there's already a way to do this, I'm sure I look silly, but I think this would be a very useful implementation!

😖 Frustrated

Barely improving

Good afternoon everyone. i've been studying for the LSAT for at least a year now and i've been practicing using Lawhub and 7sage. As of now my LR sections barely improved and im still between 10-15 per section. If you scored high, what have you done better that is different? how do you read each question? I got a test coming in January but im gonna probably register for March because that is my last real chance for a good score

LA Study group

Hi everyone! I just moved to LA and plan to start studying for the LSAT from this month and take it in June 2026. I don't know much people here so would love some friends to study together after 5pm at cafes/ online sessions. I live in Koreatown! Would love to connect on insta @chanellewin_

I'm in my late 20s and have taken the LSAT 4 times (155, 160, 157, 168) and am scheduled to retake in January.

Currently have the next 2 weeks off for vacation so I'll be doing a PrepTest every other day, peppering in some hard drills every now and then, hopefully for a 172 next month.

Would love to find someone studying rigorously and seriously right now to chat with over texts or Discord or Insta or Snap or something like that to share progress and just commiserate over this whole experience. Sharing scores with each other and seeing improvement over time would be awesome. Also happy to discuss application stuff.

Hit me up!

Hello all, my name is Kaia and I am 28. I am in California so everything would be PDT based for timing. I plan on taking the LSAT in April next year and I learn better talking through questions and reviewing with others. I was wondering if anyone would be down to set up a small study group of like 3-5 people with me to do drill practice in the evenings typically around the weekend or whenever we can make work. This would be focused on accuracy in the logical reasoning section currently as I am still getting down a lot of the fundamentals, and speed would come later. We could set up a simple discord server or whatever works. Feel free to reply and maybe we could set something up!

🙃 Confused

Pratice Help!!

If i plan to take the April LSAT for the first time, what should my studying look like right now? I currently have the core curriculum on 7sage and it is set to finish with all the foundations & what not by the beginning of February. Then, I go into practice for 8 weeks and final prep for 1 week before the lsat. Should I be simultaneously practicing drills while doing the foundations curriculum?

-4 on my first section!

I finally am starting to see this all pay off before the January test! Got my first -4 and -2 on BR for an LR section! After an embarrassing slump in the November test, I think we're all in for a treat in January! (Knock on wood). Shoutout the new WAJ feature in the notes, it's been so good to force myself to reflect.

Average BR for sections

Similarly to how the analytics page will show you your average BR score for PTs, I was wondering if it would be possible to have your average BR per section displayed alongside your average score for each section. I feel like it would be helpful to see the average of how you're doing on BR for each timed section.

Need Help

Hi all,

I have watch all the curriculum videos. I spent hours and hours and hours since June. I still be PT'ing at 135. My goal is to get 160

I have a few questions:

1. What am I doing wrong?

2. I don't want to watch any more videos. I'm sick of them (no offense) should I just drill from now on?

I just need advice.

relationships

  • comparative

  • some intersection

  • relatas: 

    • cause vs effect

    • paragraph 1 vs 2

    • phenomenon vs hypothesis

  • support (relatas: premise vs conclusion)

    • aim: persuasion (subjective)

relationship 2

(clauses linked together to emphasize relationships)

  • disjunction

  • conditional claims (sufficient and necessary condition)

    • indicators

      • unless

  • causal claims (cause and effect)

    • indicators

      • because

  • analogies (one thing is like another thing)

    • source vs target clause

    • indicators

      • just as

comparatives

  • two things that stand in comparison to each other w one of two coming on top

    • a vs b (what are you comparing)

    • quality/characteristic of comparison

    • identify “winner”

  • negative comparatives

  • when comparatives have “no” or “not” there may be no clear winner

    • ex: allison is not taller than jake

  • implied comparatives

    • no than in the statement

      • ex: tom is feeling better today, cafes are busier during the morning rush

  • relative vs absolute

    • comparatives are usually relative without making absolute statements but context can sometimes imply absolute qualities

      • ex: jake is not taller than allison and they play basketball

      • they are likely tall, but it is not absolute

  • equivalence

    • i am older than you=you are younger than me

arguments

  • an argument consists of premises and a conclusion that aims to persuade

    • support structures the argument, and support depends on assumptions

      • assumptions are a “forgotten” premise that can be subtle

      • less reasonable assumptions render an argument vulnerable to criticism

      • Valid arguments (on the LSAT) require no additional unstated assumptions for the conclusion to follow from the premises.

        • Invalid arguments require at least one necessary assumption.

wonder “what the author wants me to believe” and “why should i believe this”

conclusion indicators (words followed by a conclusion)

  • consequently

  • therefore

  • as a result

  • clearly

  • it follows that

  • accordingly

  • we may conclude

  • it entails

  • hence

  • thus

  • we may infer that

  • it must be that

  • it implies that

  • that is why

premise indicators (words followed by premise)

  • given that

  • seeing that

  • for the reason that

  • owing to

  • as indicated by

  • for

  • because

  • since

types of questions

  • Must Be True questions 

  • phenomenon-hypothesis

    • causation logic

subconclusion: claim that receives and gives support

  • Premise: All dogs are adorable.

  • Premise: Fluffers is a dog.

  • Sub-conclusion: Therefore, Fluffers is adorable.

  • Premise: All adorable things are cute.

  • Conclusion: Fluffers is cute.

    • sub arguments make a complex argument

context (used as referent for referential phrase)

  • table setting

    • information explaining a premise

  • other peoples position

    • an opposite conclusion they claim is incorrect

  • concession

    • making the opposing argument before the other can

context transition indicators

  • but

  • however

  • yet

  • some people say

concession indicators

  • despite

  • in spite of

  • although

  • though

  • even though

  • even if

  • notwithstanding

    • ex: scientists discovered that the sky is blue

referent

  • stands in place of something that appeared earlier

  • negative: not that (other/otherwise)

 

rhetorical questions

  • implied declarative statement for dramatic effect (more persuasive)

logic

  • formal

    • form of argument matters more than content (valid/invalid)

    • includes

      • conditional logic (sufficient/necessary conditions)

      • logic btwn sets

        • supersets, subsets, intersecting sets, and membership in those sets

    • main concern is what must be true

  • informal (typical of reading comprehension

    • all other types of logic

      • causation

      • analogies

      • generalization

      • scientific reasoning

      • rule application reasoning

      • cost-benefit analysis

      • misc

    • subject to be made stronger or weaker

      • how well supported

sets

  • set: abstract collection of members

  • membership: something belongs to such set

  • when a set is inside a set

    • superset: larger one

    • subset: smaller one

sufficiency vs necessity conditions

  • subset membership is sufficient for superset membership but not necessary

  • superset membership is necessary for subset membership but not sufficient 

  • subset is to superset as sufficiency is to necessity

    • if dot is in cat-set, it is sufficient to know the dot is inside mammal-set

    • membership in a mammal-set is necessary for membership in cat-set

      • membership in mammal-set is not sufficient for membership in cat-set (membership in cat-set is not necessary for membership in mammal-set)

conditional argument (formal argument)

  • when sufficient condition is true, the necessary condition is also true

  • Membership in Set A is sufficient for membership in Set B. X is a member of Set A. Therefore, X is a member of Set B

conditional indicators (logical indicators)

  • the idea immediately following the conditional indicator is the sufficient condition

    • If X, Y

    • when

    • where

    • all 

    • every

    • any

    • the only

  • the idea immediately following the conditional indicator is the necessary  condition

    • only

    • only if

    • only when

    • only where

    • always

    • must

truth vs validity

  • truth is property of claims (true vs false)

  • validity is property of arguments (valid/invalid)

    • validity: if (or pretend that) all the premises are true, then the conclusion must also be true.

“lawgic”

  • → establishes a conditional relationship

    • sufficient condition (left side) to a necessary condition (right side)

  • subscripts represent membership of set

    • L^J represents Luke's membership in the set of Jedi.

  • conditional argument shape:

    • categorical syllogism

A → B

x^A

____

x^B

OR

  • modus ponens

sufficient → necessary

sufficient

____

necessary

Study Tips to Get into mid-150's

Hello, I just took the November 2025 LSAT and scored a 147. This was a little confusing because I was pting in the mid 150's before I took the exam. I have decided to take the January LSAT before applying this cycle and was wondering if anyone has any tips on how to improve in the next four weeks, specifically reading comprehension. Thank you in advance!

hi! ive been studying for the lsat for a several months now and am looking for a few people to study with. studying in my head would just look like watching each other do practice questions/sections and give pointers to each other.

i am looking for people who can be consistent because i am trying to see if i can be ready for a test by the 23rd (last day to sign up for feb test). so preferably someone who is studying full-time.

join the group if youre interested <3

Not necessarily a feature request, but I was hoping maybe we could get a LR fast track video for conditional translating, walking through some problems and talking about translating whole problems. It is possible that I missed it, as I used the study plan which does skip some lessons.
