Hello, I just began my studying, and im studying to take the lsat next year. I would love to have a study group or study buddies, where we hold each other accountable and give each other insights.

I have a recent 178 LSAT, and an expiring 336 GRE score from a Master’s program I need to send in the next couple days before it’s gone forever. I know the LSAT carries more weight since it’s what affects rankings, but is it worth submitting the GRE since it’s also above the median for my schools?

I guess the question comes down to whether schools will see the GRE as adding another dimension where I demonstrate my strength, or does it dilute my LSAT which is at a higher percentile band? Does anyone have any insight?

I have been studying very lightly the last two months, and as I get closer to my test date, I want to start structuring my study better. The issue is, I don't know how to properly integrate the core curriculum into my studies. I currently aim to take one PT every week or two, and I spend my time in between working on my wrong answer journal and drilling LR and RC sections (For reference purposes my most recent PT was a 170, and my average is 164). Unfortunately, I have barely touched the core curriculum because I feel as if the "foundations" section isn't super helpful to me where I am right now. I don't know how to utilize the curriculum so I don't use it, and I feel like I'm missing out on a lot of helpful content. Should I jump ahead in the planned path? Should I just push through the entire curriculum? I want to make sure I am getting the most value from my time, and the resources available. Does anyone have any advice/insights? Thanks!

So a month ago I broke 170 on a PT for the first time, 174 on 140. The following week a 173 on PT 150. I was like damn I finally broke the 160s plateau. Lo and behold I got a 168 on PT153, which isn't horrific, given its only around 3ish questions worse compared to my 173 performance, if not for the fact that I got -8 on one of the RC sections, which thankfully was experimental. I'd like to be more realistic about things and just realise that this is all just part of performance variance, but honestly the way reading comprehension drills have been bending me over is just making me question whether those were fluke performances. idk im trying everything ive been told, 4 minutes on the passage, the split approach, highlighting key words, i just find a way to fumble questions. Im redoing old passages from before to avoid running out of passages and still getting stuff wrong. What am i missing? And are drills supposed to be this tough? Also i'm considering getting a tutor because i'm at a bit of a loss, does anyone else have experience with this?

I'm taking the test in January and would love to create a study group if anyone lives in Oahu!! Let me know <3

Hey everyone, If anyone is in NYC and is down for group studies, comment on this post.

Let's get in touch :)

I was consistently PT-ing in the 170+s for several weeks leading up to my October LSAT, but my official score didn’t even break into the 160s :( Has anyone else experienced something similar? I’m starting to question my abilities / intelligence despite all the effort I put in.

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:))!!

need some motivation....took the lsat twice in 2023 and got 130's. started taking it seriously last august and took the november 2024 lsat and scored a 146 even though i was scoring mid 150's on PT's. i took a break and re started studying this september. scoring 157+ on my PTS. but im fluctuating. some drills and sections are great and others are terrible. i dont know whats not clicking. my confidence dictates my studying. every bad drill and section really crushes my motivation and makes me want to give up. is this not for me? i know im capable and im the only one in control of all of this. but i need some tips on what can really set me up for success. i suffer from bad anxiety, and i feel that it really effects me on the test day. somedays i really want to give up after this long journey that i started in 2023....

Hi all, I'll be taking the LSAT in January and I'm currently averaging -3/-4 per section (both in LR and RC) during PrepTests and timed individual sections. On my BRs I'm averaging -1, and when I take full, untimed sections I average -1. Additionally, I tend to end up with a few minutes left over after each section (which I seem to use for a rushed review of flagged questions). Does anyone have any advice on how I can improve my accuracy in timed sections over the next month?

Adding this here aswell lol. Just consulted with a law school admissions "expert" who told me even though I have a bachelors and masters in criminal justice (i plan to go into public service/ criminal law) and 4.0 LSAC GPA that i have absolutely no chances of getting into my target schools part time programs (highest is ranked 63rd and lowest ranked in the 100s so not t20 or anything) because my LSAT is significantly poor especially in comparison to my transcripts. i also have 2 years of work experience in the legal field as a paralegal. she told me to basically throw my whole app away and wait until next cycle to apply.

do i take the january lsat and apply later in the cycle? i have all my other materials set. is january even considered late for part time programs with march/april/may/june deadlines? any input helps!

Hi All, If you need accountability buddies and/or someone to check understanding with, please reach out! I’m looking to change careers, and would appreciate those motivated to get above 170! We can all meet online first for comfortability sake.

Two problems with the suggested timing distributions for RC. I've attached two screenshots to illustrate this

1) Suggested timing inconsistency: If you total up the suggested time for each of my questions individually, I'd be at around -0:06, but the overall recommended pace in the second screenshot says I'm actually -00:51. Which one is the real suggested time?

2) Way too little time recommended for the passage: If i had a dollar for every time somebody told me to slow down on the passage and focus on retention, I'd actually be able to afford law school. Point is, the consensus seems to be that the best strategy is around 3-4 minutes (minimum) on the passage, and try to blitz through the questions. But as you can see here, having spent 3:44 on the passage I'm being told I spent almost 2 whole minutes more than I'm supposed to have used. Granted this is a 4 star passage and I was pretty slow overall, but still, this was not a passage I could've gotten through in just 2 minutes and expect to retain any info.

Maybe there's some setting I'm unaware of which lets me tweak the suggested timing based on my strategy, and if so please let me know. Otherwise I’d really appreciate any clarification on how these suggested timings are calculated.

Hi fellow 7Sagers. I just finished taking my fifth prep test, and I have scored almost the same score (156ish) every time. I go back and do blind review and almost always end up in the 170s, so I'm assuming this is just a timing issue. What do you guys recommend on how to move forward? I've started drilling harder questions and have overall found a significant improvement in getting questions correct (e.g. getting very difficult and most difficult drills all correct, sections with max 3 wrong instead of 8-10 and getting 0 wrong on blind review), but when it comes to these PTs I don't know what's happening to me.

For context, I'm about a month and a half into consistently and rigorously studying for the LSAT. Goal is to take it in February next year. I would appreciate advice from any of guys who may have been in similar situations as me. Thanks :)

Unsure if someone has already asked this, but as a student who will have taken multiple years between graduating undergraduate and starting law school, when a law school application asks about "an interruption of six months or more in your education," should we discuss/explain gaps years between undergrad and law school?

Thanks!

When constructing your resume, how much should you include in it? I know it's restricted to two pages (for most law schools, there are exceptions) and that it's best to try to be comprehensive. However, I have had several jobs and positions/, and I am struggling to include them all in 2 pages. I have cut my part-time jobs, but am still missing internships and extracurriculars that were really important/valuable to me, and I want to include them in my resume and application.

I have been studying for the LSAT for a while and am seeking to study with a small group of people that I can view as accountability partners. I want to be able to walk through each question to explain why each right answer is right and why the wrong answer is wrong. I feel as if I have hit a plateau, and I want to take the necessary steps to break through to my goal score.

Currently, I am testing in the mid to low 160's and have an end goal of reaching the high 160's or lower 170's. I understand the fundamental principles and have been working to get my accuracy as high as possible, as that is the only way to score in the higher range.

I am open to a virtual or in-person group; I am based in Austin for college and will be in Houston once I graduate.

I have a quick question—actually, maybe two. I'm finalizing my law school application essays, but I'm having trouble finding the proper format for a Personal Statement. I couldn't locate any information on 7sage. Where can I find a sample Personal Statement or any essays? I want to clarify any discrepancies in the proper formatting. For example, is indentation before every paragraph required?

Hello fellow prospective attorneys. This is my first post. I am confused about which months next year it would be the most ideal to sit for the LSAT in order to gain admission in Spring 2027. I thought of doing April and June - I started studying in September.

Thanks.

I'm familiar with "some" and "most" and "many" and whatnot, but I've just encountered a question where it seems like "few" doesn't really match up to the way "some" works.

If anyone has an answer, I'd love a tip!

Does anyone have any tips for lawgic? I feel it is taking so much more time for me to do that first then answer the questions..

Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone,

I’ve been studying for about 4 weeks now, 2 weeks on the 7Sage core curriculum and 2 weeks focused on drilling. I’ve got 8 weeks left.

My first practice test last week was a 150, and my second PT this week was a 154.

I’ve been doing Blind Review, error logging, and all that good stuff. What I’ve noticed across both PTs is that in the LR sections, I usually go about -3 on questions 1–18, but then I completely fall apart on questions 18–26. I’ll miss around six or seven questions there, even though during BR I get them right almost instantly.

This happens no matter the question difficulty, level 2, 3, or 4, as long as it’s in that back half of the section I completely fumble the bag. So I’m pretty sure it’s fatigue or pacing, not an understanding issue.

Fixing this would probably be the difference between my current 154 and breaking into the 160s.

Any advice on how to handle LR fatigue or keep focus through the whole section would be super appreciated! Good luck my fellow future lawyers 🫡

Hi everyone, I am new to 7sage and LSAT Prep. Im only on my first week doing the foundations. I was wondering when I should start to add pratice questions into my study plan and how much to do? Do I wait till I'm through with foundations or start now? Being new at these concepts and then going to drilling and getting very few right is demotivating, but I don't know if thats normal.

Hi! I'm currently based in SF, studying for the February LSAT. Aiming for 172+, but pretty early in my study journey. If anyone is looking for a study group/accountability partner in the SF area, lmk! Would love to study together (either virtually or meet-up).
