In November, I noticed changes in my priority rankings that I thought were the result of a bug. After doing some digging, I learned the true cause was an update to 7Sage’s recommendations engine.

Since the update, the priority tags have become much less useful to me. A comment I found by a 7Sage employee about the update says the following:

“Why we changed it: Under the old system, if you set a high goal score, nearly everything showed as 'highest priority' (not helpful). If you set a lower goal score, everything showed as 'lowest priority' (also not helpful). Now you'll always see a clear spread of priorities regardless of your goal score setting.”

If this is the reason for the change, it seems to have had the opposite of its intended effect on me. My goal score is 180, and my performance across question types is high. Prior to the update, my priorities were spread out in a reasonable and actionable manner. After the update, all except one of my RC tags were ranked “highest priority.” Here is screenshot from the bottom of my RC priorities list:

It seems obvious to me that a question type that, on average, appears less than once per test that I have never answered incorrectly should not be ranked "highest priority"!

This problem occurs at the top of my RC priority list, too!

(Note "Miscellany" and "Logical continuation.")

To a lesser, but still significant, degree my LR priorities have also been adversely affected.

A few examples:

On all of these question types, I am above goal accuracy, but they are still labled "high priority"!

I don’t have screenshots of my priorities from before the update (I had no reason to take any at the time), but I assure you they were much more reasonably spread out.

I would like to request that either another change be made to the recommendations engine or that users be given the option to switch to the engine’s pre-November version.

I realize that I may be an edge case, and it could be argued that since I am at or above my goal accuracy for most question types, my priority tags could not be relied on to guide study regardless of the engine’s tuning. This may be true, but if my priorities must be heavily weighted towards one extreme or the other, I would prefer to see most question types labled as “lowest” rather than “highest” priority. That is closer to how they appeared before the update and would better reflect my progress towards my goals. As they are now, they inaccurately suggest I have a massive amount of unfeasible progress to make.

January Test Taker Here. Without revealing anything about the content of the test, the advice I will give is make sure your conditionals are VERY good. Some of the hardest conditional problems I've seen on the Jan test, make sure your conditionals are sharp.

Hey everyone!!

I'm currently scoring a 147 on my practice tests (im working on it!!!). When I blind review my tests, I consistently score above 157. I think my main issue on the actual test is timing; I often get stuck between two answers, overthink the choices, and usually end up picking the wrong one.

Anyone have any advice on how to perform better on the first attempt or how to address timing issues?

Hi all!

I work with 165–175 scorers looking to move from -2 to -6 to -0/-1 on the LR section of the LSAT, and am currently taking up to two students.

Bio

• #1 ranked social sciences student in my year at Yale

• −0 average across last 5 timed LR sections, −1 average across last 15 (official score pending, Jan. administration)

• Background in competitive debate, experience teaching students at all levels

Structure

• No upfront commitment

• 30-minute consultation call to assess fit

• Weekly meetings

• Discounts available for FAFSA students

Tutoring Focus

I specialize in last-mile LR improvement for students hoping to achieve scores in the 170/175+ range. I help with issues that standard prep methods stop addressing once you already understand the logic:

• Timing under uncertainty

• Precise question-type control

• Avoiding attractive wrong answers without over-elimination

Most −2 to −6 scorers miss questions not due to conceptual gaps, but because they:

• Commit too early under time pressure

• Misidentify what the question is actually asking

• Eliminate correct answers for the wrong reason

My sessions are designed to diagnose and fix these failure modes under real test-time conditions, giving you structure and confidence to ace coin-flip questions.

If interested, please fill out the following form: https://forms.gle/EZabFT9qxMF4JJs26. If you have any questions, feel free to comment in thread!

EDIT: Wow, thanks for the strong interest everyone!

Given my limited capacity, I'm going to pause new consultations for now, but feel free to fill out the form if you are interested. I will keep a waitlist and will be in touch if there's a good fit / spots open up.

Hi! I’m wondering whether, and to what extent, your speed improved over time on sections or practice tests. I am happy with my score, but right now I am taking double time on everything. Should I expect that over time, my score will stay the same while my time decreases?

Do you have any tips for getting faster?

Thank you so much for your help! :)

To begin, no matter what I do, unless the questions is super easy, I cannot identify what is necessary for a conclusion to be true. I've tried finding a stategy that works for me, but nothing is clicking.

Common suggestions that don't work and why:

Negation technique - Even if I negate something and say it's not true, when I look back at the stimulus the conclusion no longer seems wholeheartedly sound. But it ends up being wrong all the time. Even if I negate something, I cannot identify why it's necessary or not.

Must be True - I suck at MBT questions, but even those are easier than NA's. But again, for the same reason as above, I can't look at a question and identify what is necessary for the argument to be true.

Identify the Gap - Most of the time I ask myself, why does P-> C, which I know is used for Sufficent questions, but it's the only stategy that actually feels like a stategy. But I can't identify a gap or flaw in the logic, becuase 9/10 I'm wrong.

Is there any other stategy to tackling these questions than using the negation technique that could help me identify what is necessary for an argument to take place?

Hi guys,

So I'm signed up for feb exam and I don't think I know enough, I keep scoring 138-145. I don't know how to lock-in and do it, does anyone recommend a good study schedule? and like how can I attack questions. I'm so stressed and its not helping I need a 157-160 to get accepted into the only school I wanna apply to.

Finally test day @2:30pm today! Just wanna take the time to say good luck to everyone who has/will be taking the LSAT. This platform and community has been so encouraging, and a great resource. For anyone just starting, use this discussion board to vent! Realizing you’re not alone makes all the difference. Good luck everyone, thanks for all the support, and God bless!

hello. I took the lsat today and I’m rlly disappointed in myself. While my strategy improved (I had 2-5 mins to review my answers), i felt that I didn’t perform up to my potential of 155-160 (got a 162 br in last pt). I worked so hard and saw so much improvement that I’ve never seen in myself before in these past couple of months. And it’s now all down the drain— I never had this feeling of not performing up to my potential after a test before. I did not even feel this way in my last two attempts (which I admitted to myself they were a complete disaster. No concept of time management). I tried to relax and restore my confidence which worked for me in the second half of the test. But I feel that I’ll get the same 149 score as before and that I failed at reaching my potential. I was hoping to apply now with my Jan lsat score.

Is it normal for anyone to feel this way?

A lot of what I want to talk about in my personal statement has to do with being in the foster system, but the more I try to lead with that the more I doubt that it should be a focal point. It's just so hard to start without coming out as a linear life story which I want to avoid. How do you START a personal statement?

Hi! I have been at this plateau for the last ~6 months. In the last 9 practice tests I've taken, only 3 have been in the 170s. How do I move past this barrier when I feel confident abt questions during the test? Are there recommended daily study routines? I fluctuate between getting -2 and -5 wrong on an LR section and I would just love to get consistent.

Please help. My goal is mid -170s

Hello. I'm going over the core curriculum and JY tells us in order to negate "all" statements like "A -> B," you make it to "A <-some-> /B." However, in the next lesson, he tells us when you negate "conditional" statements like "A -> B," you negate it to "A and /B." My question is how do we differentiate between the two? Isn't an "all" statement the same as a "conditional" statement? If I say "all dogs are friendly," that is surely an "all" statement and diagramed as the conditional statement "dog -> friendly." Thus, I do not see the difference between the two.

hey guys I am doing by-type on role questions(argument part) right now.

I go pretty smoothly with easiest and easier questions.

However I get stuck with medium level. I just really wanna ask how I can improve my accuracy on medium difficulty questions. Also one big concern is that there are not enough medium difficulty questions for me to drill. Then I wonder how I know I improve if there is no enough medium questions for me to drill.

Really appreciated if anyone can give me some tips !

how many practice tests did you guys take before seeing consistent test scores + no crazy fluctuations in score.

I'm taking my final attempt at the LSAT tomorrow and I'm oddly emotional about it. My last admin was in October, it didn't go well, so I was in a really bad slump where I genuinely thought I was dumb, a terrible student, etc.

Eventually I picked myself up and starting drilling here, attending the live classes, asking questions, etc. and things got a little better. I also remembered to rest every now and then, as I had a problem with really overworking myself to the point of burnout.

Believe it or not, resting actually helped a lot, and I enjoyed studying. I loved the classes on here, all the teachers here are amazing, and yeah.

Whatever happens tomorrow, happens, but I'm grateful for all the ppl on here and the wonderful teachers that helped out.

I completed my LSAT today. I feel like I flunked. I dont know. I feel like i didn’t get even 1 question right.

I am so done. I am taking Feb too.

Hey, my LSAT brothers and sisters,

I just started studying for the LSAT on January 1st, 2026. I live in the Houston, Texas Area.

Looking to see if anyone wants to join me for the LSAT in August!

Hi everyone, I took my first LSAT exam literally an hour ago, and I feel as if I did HORRIBLE, like as if I would be lucky to score in the 150s

This is because the proctering center did not tell me they were starting me the moment I arrived at the center (I had arrived 45 minutes before the exam started, planning on going to the bathroom, taking a moment to relax, etc.). Instead, they immediately rushed me into the room, without telling me, and sat me down. I had just finished a yerba, and it hit my bladder 15 questions into my first section....

Long story short, I spent the whole first half trying not to pee my pants, and it completely took me away from an exam I otherwise think I would've done quite well in!! I unfortunately couldn't focus with my bladder hurting so much.

To add onto it, I was sitting next to someone with a cough and a kid who was muttering the whole time... :(

Should I give in to LSAC's fear-mongering and cancel my score? I would hate for outside circumstances to affect how future law schools view me as an applicant.

Thanks!

About to do my first test. Trying to be positive but the last two days of review I feel like I suddenly just forgot everything.

I think the discussion feature is really helpful, but its hard to find my own posts once I've posted them. It seems like there should be a "My Posts" tab somewhere.

hey anyone taking the feb lsat?

hey guys. just curious here--im wondering if anyone else like to read a chapter of a book etc before they do lsat practice, esp rc? when i was studying for the lsat i found that doing this beforehand helped me warm up when practicing rc. is this the same case for anyone else?

im retaking the lsat tomorrow and i haven't done any intense drilling today, just review of some concepts i struggle with. i read a bit of non fiction etc to help me prepare for dissecting tomorrow's rc passages. im mainly trying to relax today while also getting ready for tomorrow lol

I went to sign into the proctored exam this morning and both of my pieces of technology were not allowing me to use the Prometric app. I went through Prometric and LSAC. I asked to retake the exam for the end of the month.

Has anyone else run into this? How did you handle it?

I just scored a 161 on PT147. As BR suggests, timing and time pressure seem to be the issue. I especially struggle with having an RC exp section because RC drains my confidence (and 2 RCs happen to me more often than not it seems like). I don't really have the option of retesting at a later date because I am applying for this cycle and want to improve my existing applications (already submitted with 162) and would not like to delay until next cycle. Does anyone have any suggestions for between now and February? I'm aiming for at least the high 160s. Thanks!

i think it would be helpful if i could highlight any text or question during lessons, and there is an option to where i can do more drills like this.

i am finding that as i am doing lessons, i am wanting to test myself more about what i am learning. i wish there was a way i could highlight the exact type of question and then see an option to "practice more like this".
