Hey, I just finished the foundations content and have been doing somewhat decent in the adaptive drills and single "you try" questions. I am always going over time and am worried I will fall into a pattern of taking too much time. As I progress through the LR and RC sections of the material, is there a specific strategy/idea I should use to help my time? Or is it not relevant at this point? I feel like I might just be in my head, would love others' thoughts on this!

Hello, 7sagers! I have been making this discord server for the past month now and I think I'm ready to make it public! This is Fortuna Laboris LSAT. I believe in very much that your fortune is often in the hands of your labor. This discord is for people who are hard working and want to be in a community with other hard working individuals! Currently pretty small and the server could definitely use some "sprucing" up but it is in it's early stages. Students, tutors, and professionals are all welcome! https://discord.gg/SMcxEaCuah

Hi Guys. June LSAT test taker here. I have been off/on studying for the LSAT for over a year now, but have been pretty seriously studying the last 2-3 months. June will be my second time taking the LSAT (previous 166). My goal score is a 170+, which I have yet to crack on a PT, but I've consistently been getting 168s and 169s for my last 4-5 PTs, as well as -3 to -1 on several RC and LR sections individually. Though it's been frustrating as hell being stuck in the high 160s plateau, I have been feeling like I've been understanding the test more and more every day and have been seeing small improvement.

I just took PT 156 (which seems like is notoriously difficult) and got a 161 on it. Ugh. With the test less than two weeks away I was planning on taking one last test next weekend, but I'm worried after this experience it'll ruin my confidence before test day. I plan on blind reviewing this test and trying to learn the most that I can from it, but does anyone have any advice on what else I should focus on this next week and a half before giving myself 4-5 days off before my test? Should I take another PT next weekend? Do drills? Review my wrong answer journal? Meet once with a tutor? Do nothing and rest? Any advice would be appreciated.

I feel like I have all the pieces I need to do well on an LSAT but it never seems to come together for me.

Thanks :/

Hi everyone! I just recently graduated from undergrad (yay!) and decided to take a gap year before applying to improve my LSAT score and to boost my resume with more than just an internship. I recently got a job at a decent-sized law firm as a legal assistant, and they were hoping that when I go to law school, it would be part-time so I can continue working at the firm. Before the application cycle opens up, and before I go in too deep with this firm, I need to know if working full-time while attending law school part-time is something I can realistically achieve.

I am curious if anyone else is in a similar situation where they are looking to apply to a part-time JD program. I'm completely unfamiliar with the part-time process, as everyone I've talked to is in law school full-time.

I have no idea how law schools weigh part-time applicants. Would I even be a good part-time applicant, considering I am younger, etc.? So many questions, very little answers!!!

Please join the chat room if you are planning on doing a part-time program, or if you're thinking about it, or if you have any extensive knowledge!

Sincerely,

A girl who has a lot to think about :)

Under each answer choice, when I do drills, it shows these analytics. Can someone explain what this means? Thanks! :)

I started studying with the core curriculum 2-ish weeks ago and wanted to take a PT to see if I made any progress compared to my diagnostic. The 7sage explanations have been super helpful. Although progress early on is encouraging, I'm ultimately aiming for a mid-170s score, so please share any tips!

Hello LSAT Travellers!

My name is Dr. Lars Enden. I used to be a professor of philosophy and logic. I did that for about 20 years. But now, I am an LSAT tutor, and I have been doing this full-time for over 3 years.

The purpose of this group, is to offer a space where you can ask a professional logic professor (that's me!) anything you want. So, come to a session with a topic or a question that you want to discuss. It can be anything LSAT related (even RC, which is mostly logic anyway!) and I will do my best to help you with it. For Free!

The group will meet every Wednesday 2 - 3:30 pm Eastern / 11 am - 12:30 pm Pacific. I hope to see you then!

And, of course, if you are looking for a tutor, check out my post in the tutoring marketplace!

Hello LSAT travellers!

My name is Dr. Lars Enden. I used to be a professor of philosophy and logic. I did that for about 20 years. But now, I have taken all my experience as a professional educator in logic and critical thinking and applied it to the LSAT. LSAT tutoring is all that I do now, and I have been doing it full-time for over 3 years.

If you would like to see my many 5-star reviews from former students, check out my profile over on Wyzant (look up Lars E.).

There are 2 problems that I see with LSAT tutoring. The first problem is that it is expensive for students; the second problem is that it is repetitive for tutors; I find myself teaching the same skills to practically every student that I tutor.

I propose to solve both of these problems by introducing a hybrid style of tutoring, which will combine some classroom-style instruction with one-on-one individual tutoring at a more affordable price.

Therefore, I am launching a pilot program that will use this hybrid model to cover the logical reasoning portion of the LSAT (I hope to develop a similar program for Reading Comprehension in the future). It will be a 6-week program that will meet classroom-style twice a week for 1.5 hours each, and that will meet individually with each student for one-on-one tutoring 1-hour per week. This will mean that each student gets 24 hours of total time divided into 18 hours of classroom-style instruction (with the whole group) and 6 hours of one-on-one tutoring. I want to try this method with a relatively small cohort (6-8 students) priced at $960 per student, which comes to $40 per hour. I expect that if this program is successful, that I will end up charging at least 3 times more than this in the future, which is still far below my usual rates for regular one-on-one tutoring.

What to expect from this program:

-24 hours of total time: 18 hours of small-group time and 6 hours of individual tutoring time.

-Current cost will be $960, which breaks down to $40 per hour [This is far, far lower than my usual rate because this is a new and somewhat experimental program]

-Classes are designed to cover all the important logical skills needed for LR success [these are the same skills that I have been teaching my individual tutoring students for years]

-Individual tutoring time will be more focused on the specific problems each student is facing with improving their LR skills

-Targetted homework will be assigned after each class to help reinforce the concepts and to give students more practice [This is the same homework that I have been giving to my individual tutoring students for years]

-For students in this cohort, I will also offer additional tutoring, if desired, both during and after the class ends at $95 per hour (less than half my usual rate)

If you are interested in being a part of this pilot program, please send me a DM, comment below, or send me an email at contact@larsenden.com

Hi,

I’m doing pretty good on these but still making dumb mistakes. I forgot to answer a question in rc and submitted the last lr section without realizing I still had one more question. Went back and got them both right in analysis right after. Shooting for a 180 if anyone has any tips let me know!

I started studying for the LSAT around a month ago, and plan to take the September test. I've finished the Foundations unit and am more than halfway through the LR unit - so, I'm wondering when I should start incorporating drilling and PTs into my studying, and how often? I haven't been doing drills asides from ones built in to the lessons, and haven't done a PT since my diagnostic.

Happy Friday, everyone! We know we're still a long way from next cycle's application deadlines, but as they say, the early bird gets the worm, and the early applicant gets a boost. Do you already have a draft-in-progress of your personal statement? If so, you can use one of these links to book a free Essay Workshop with a 7Sage consultant. We'll help you brainstorm, revise, and analyze your personal statement to make sure you're telling your best story.

Each of these links only works once, so it's first-come, first serve!

Link one

Link two

Link three

Link four

Edit: All the links have been used! Good luck, everyone!

When doing blind review, should I hover over the pink circle on the question (thus indicating if I got it wrong, took too long on it, changed my answer multiple times, etc.) or not? Particularly, I'm not sure if it is harmful to do BR already knowing that I got that question wrong.

Thanks :)

As a pattern my scores are so-so on the drills, but I am scoring in the 80-100% range after the blind review. Any tips on improving my confidence when picking an answer the first time around???

Good evening, I made an lsat discord a month ago we have 80 members of all different skill levels who do active study sessions we have 170 scorers willing to help or review and plenty of other motivated students! There is a daily progress tracker/study schedule board so you can find others who study at your time and lots of notes from other students it had helped me so much since starting it and I want others to join all levels of students are welcome we have international students as well! It’s still new so feel free to bring new ideas

I recently had a session with tutor @SCOTT_LEBO . It was amazing. Even before our session began, he emailed me two detailed PDFs on how to approach LR and RC. He mentioned that he's been refining his method for 10+ years, and he found it highly effective. I did too. Then, during our session, we went through my analytics so he could personally gauge my strengths and weaknesses. He also used the information I provided him before our session. We started with my weakest point, RC, and thoroughly reviewed a passage that targeted all my weaknesses (lol). He made sure to use multiple approaches to justify how to get the right answer, as well as why my answer was wrong (instead of just giving me the answers). We focused on how to tackle passages and questions. He asked me to also chime in and explain my thought process, which he evaluated clearly and refined. Because I self-studied for months before this point, I was surprised to learn that I took away new techniques that I hadn't been using. We also focused on some LR question types that give me trouble. I actively processed through these question types, and he explained a certain technique (found on the PDF) that simplifies the question. Besides clearly being knowledgeable and experienced, Scott also took the time to listen to my concerns fully and thoroughly answer them. My experience was also personalized to fit my needs. If anyone is looking for a tutor, I highly recommend Scott. I feel much more confident for my June LSAT. Good luck to everyone!

Hi all! I am currently studying to take my LSAT in September. I am fairly new at studying ( I did previously take my LSAT in 2024.. bombed it ) and have run into a very annoying issue of eliminating all answer choices but two, getting to blind review, choosing the alternative answer choice and getting it right in the blind review. I'm still new so I am trying to cut myself a break and just say " study more" but I am wondering if you all have any tips at closing this gap?

Also, does anyone have any tips of breaking down stims? Any hacks or alternative resources? I feel like I take a long time doing it.... Could also be because I am new but anything would help! :)

Hi is anybody else having problems getting on study room last 2 days?

I just finished taking PT 153 and got 160

Hi everyone! While I've been performing reasonably well on the LR section, I'd love to get more practice with diagramming. Does anyone have suggestions or recommendations for lesson library videos? I've been working through the lesson videos and practicing alongside them, but I'm open to any additional resources or tips!

Hey all! I am looking to book a tutor for 2 or 3 sessions before I take the June LSAT. If you have any recommendations or have some openings please comment! Anything under 100 dollars a session would be great. Good luck to everyone who is taking it soon!

I am stuck at a Pt level around 148. My worst subjects are Phenomenon-hypothesis (LR) Which am the absolute worst on & Casual Reasoning. I have watched the videos and drilled and It is still a foreign language after 2 months. I don't understand Why I cant just grasp the concept and its starting to feel like Im never going to understand it. The breakdown for the videos don't help me either because some of them just assume I know what's going on.

Good Afternoon,

As I have begun my journey with studying for the LSAT, I currently am in the foundations of my study plan. I simply would like to ask, should I begin joining Live/Recorded classes, or would this be to early. I find myself being able to identify premises/conclusions, but find difficulty in the stimulus and how to exactly choose the correct answer.

For background I have just reached the context section.

Thanks,

Nikk

My accolades are above, but here's a few more: students of mine have gone on to break into the 170's, and have been accepted to Colombia, The University of Chicago, Stanford, and Harvard.

I was where you are now: I had a test to crush and a gulf between my skills and achieving that T-14 goal score. Well, I did what any person would do who didn't know what they were doing; I went searching for advice from people who had already achieved success. I read for hours and hours, the accounts of people who had received perfect and near perfect scores. Their advice had a very few common threads:

-Find a major prep company and completely work through all of their strategy lessons and drills

-Take many sections and tests both in untimed and timed formats

-Blind review all timed tests (taking them again entirely without a timer)

-Carefully dissect all incorrectly answered questions

At the time, the LSAT was still on paper and so explanations for LSAT questions were scarce. This was to my benefit and it can be to yours as well. That means relying on the explanations of 7Sage should only be done after you've exhausted considerable effort trying to dissect the questions yourself, given the correct answer. If 7Sage's explanation doesn't make sense or you are curious to hear a question explained in a different way, well that's what a tutor is for! I'll add just one bit advice to that which I found in my research: learn and understand any vocab word related to argumentation that the LSAT uses, which you are unfamiliar with.

If you'd like a tutor to help you through the rough patches and plateaus, I'm eager to join you where you're at on your LSAT journey. I use an "I do, we do, you do" approach to new materials. I'll model the appropriate techniques, whether that means stem analysis, argument analysis, passage annotation, answer prediction, answer choice selection, or trap answer analysis. From there I'll check to see if you've got the basics and ask you to take the next step at various points. Then it will be your job to walk us through an example. Finally, I'll only observe as you begin a new example and work through it beginning to end, giving my analysis or commentary at the end.

Sessions are typically two hours, once or twice a week depending on availability and the student's timeline. We'll often spend the first third/half of the session reviewing any questions that have been flagged for review by you. From there we'll jump into new materials.

My hourly rate changes based on whether you buy a package of hours or seek to pay session by session. It is as follows:

20 hour package - $70/hr

10 hour package - $80/hr

Session by session - $90hr

Studying for the June exam, but i'm definitely re-sitting in August since this would be my first exam (+ averaging low 160s right now) If there's anyone in the Tallahassee, FL area that would like to study together sometime this summer I'm so down!!

This is probably me being totally unreasonable, but what are the chances that LSAC intentionally makes the June 2026 LSAT harder since it is the last LSAT being administered virtually and record number of people are estimated to take the June test? Am legit scared that they might up the difficulty for curving purposes, etc.
