🙃 Confused

LSAT and Argumentative Writing

I will be taking my first LSAT in January, having said that, I have not done the argumentative writing part of the LSAT (opens December 30, 2025). What would you all recommend? should I do the writing before the LSATS or can I take it after my test (2, 3 days after test).

I personally want to take it after the LSAT, but I don't know if its a good idea to take it after. Would taking it after will delay my LSAT results? I am planing to take it within 2,3 days after my LSAT (if i go this route).

I want to apply to schools, the day of the results lol. If taking it after the results would delay the results, please let me know and help me out.

I am first gen and don't know who to ask.

Hi 7sage!

I scored a 172 on the November 2025 LSAT and am looking to take on a few more students. My background is in Philosophy, with experience tutoring college students, kids, ESL learners, and now (for around 4 months) the LSAT.

What I offer: 

  • As an independent 7sage tutor, I can access your analytics and offer focus drilling sets, as well as analysis and targeted tips.

  • Accessible feedback—I am available via email for any LSAT questions my students may have.

  • I can break down any official LSAT material you bring to our sessions, as well as provide material from LSAC. We will focus on solving one question at a time together and reviewing your mistakes.

  • Affordable rates ($45/hour, or free 15-minute consultation chat)

  • Extremely flexible hours with time slots during weekdays, as well as the weekends.

  • We won’t waste time on overly complex formal logic or unnecessary LSAT jargon. Instead, our focus will be on clear, practical strategies.

  • All sessions will be 1 hour and conducted on Zoom. 

Who I’m best for:  

If you’re just starting out or working to move up from lower scores, I can help you build a strong foundation. I’m not the right fit if you’re already in the high 160s, aiming for the high 170s. I am currently working with ~4 students and looking to take on a few more! 

DM on 7sage me if interested, or email me at bettergiraffeLSAT@gmail.com

I am struggling with the end of LR sections and wanted to mimic the end of an LR section in my drills with 5 difficult questions. My plan in my drills is to include 1 parallel flaw, 1 weakening, 1 MBT, 1 SA/NA, and 1 Flaw as these are the types of questions that I usually encounter at the end of an LR section. Is there a better way of going about it? Are these questions actually more common or is it just random?

1

I finished the 7sage Core Curriculum and read the loophole in October 31, 2025. In mid-November took a PT after and got a 156 (BR 163). My goal (even though it might sound crazy right now) is to get 170+, ideally in the mid to high 170s (aiming to take the test in April 2026). My main weakness is LR. After reviewing my incorrect answers extensively in my Wrong Answer Journal, I identified some recurring weaknesses, including 1) NA, 2) SA with conditional reasoning, 3) MBT/MSS questions and 4) parallel reasoning question types.

I work full time and study 2-4 hours a day after work and on the weekend I study 6-10 hours a day. However, I am not sure if I am using my time wisely. Could someone please give me some advice on the following:

  1. When should I move on from drilling each question type? For the past week and a half, I've been doing 5 easy, 5 medium and 5 hard questions for NA (unlimited time) and then thoroughly reviewing why I got questions wrong and analyzing why each answer is incorrect/correct. My accuracy rate is about 80%-100% on the easy/medium questions but on the hardest ones it is more variable. Should I keep drilling until I get a 100% on all the hard questions? Honestly, I don't know when that is going to happen and I'm worried I will burn through all the material before I'm ready.

  2. My plan is to focus on doing these 5 easy/5 medium/5 hard question drills and reviewing my wrong answers for the 4 question types mentioned above for the rest of December. After I finish that, should I a) drill all my weak question types under timed pressure, b) do a timed LR section, or c) do an entire practice test?

  3. To ensure that I'm retaining the information I'm learning, should I be doing a mix of LR question type drills? (i.e. once I finish both NA and SA drills, should I do a drill with both question types together)?

  4. If I am aiming for April 2026. when should I begin doing entire timed practice tests?

Thanks so much for your help!

The best time to BR after a PT?

Just curious if there are any best practices for WHEN to BR after a PT (other than 'do what works best for you and your schedule). Do you take a small break then get into it? Long break but same day? Or is it advantageous to go back to BR the next day?

Study buddies

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.

Recently, the Priorities section of my analytics has been super bugged.

Tags are often ranked as higher priorities than they should be. Some tags in which I have 100% accuracy are ranked from "highest" to "medium" priority, and all RC tags are labled "highest priority" except one.

Here are some screenshots demonstrating the problem:

Is anyone else experiencing this bug? How can I report this to 7Sage?

😨 worried

LSAT Prepping

Hey Guys! I need some advice. I am currently planning to take the LSAT in February 26 and need help deciding on if I should adjust my study plan. I have taken the LSAT twice, so I understand what is being asked and the structure of the test, but I struggle heavily with reading comprehension (staying locked in while reading) and timing, plus question types and second guessing on logical reasoning. I started from the very beginning with my study plan because it may be helpful, but maybe I should center the next two months on practicing and working on timing since I've gone through the actual test twice? I work full time, so my studying comes in the evenings, how should I dedicate my time? I am really only looking to jump maybe 10 to 15 points for my score which currently sits at a 146. What should I do?

Hey hey! Should i be focusing on timing after each section's "You Try" or should I do them 'untimed' and not worry about it right now? I am still going through the curriculum and in the beginning I was trying to answer these questions as fast as possible but then I was wondering should I just take my time until I start getting to the timed drill sections? Any thoughts on timing?

😖 Frustrated

Need tips!

I am in need of tips and tricks to help me understand and get me out of this big point difference. During a LR section I have ranged from -10 to -12 but when I blind review I always get -5 or better. Is anyone else experiencing this?!

LSAT- Score Dropping! please help

I have completed the core lessons, I will be taking the January LSAT, I did my first PT 2 weeks ago and got 146 BR 155, then last week I got a 142 BR 153, and today I got a 138 BR 153 yet, whats going on? I thought I was getting a hang of it. I am crashing out, Aiming for 149-155. Any sugguestion whats wrong with me?? Please dont sugguest to restart with fundamentals, I get that but man this is not normal!

I took PT159 over the weekend and sadly it destroyed me.

Since the official explanations from JY/Kevin are not available yet, with the mindset of "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger", I wrote out my explanations of some LR questions under "Discussion". I intend to continue to write more tomorrow.

Please let me know if you have any feedback / if my explanations are clear.

Thank you for your time in advance!

I just scored a 164 on PT133.

Anyone have any tips for improvement/strategizing? Context I am sadly juggling a full-time job, so my study schedule is either an entire section or drill before work in the morning, blind reviewing that section /drill after work. I usually take a PT on Saturday. My blind review is 2-3 days of me thoroughly reviewing each question, as I feel this the best space for growth. So in reality I only do 2-4 sections a week.

I have been slacking this week sadly as I am being made privy to the realities of working at a law firm (immigration, fun times :)) and have almost 0 energy in the morning, but I will get back on it tomorrow morning. I wanted to know if any tutors or anyone in general had thoughts or any advice in general based on what they see above, as well as navigating full time job + lsat prep, even though I know this question has been beat to death.

Further context, I delayed to apply next cycle, so I'm trying to take the February or April exam, aiming for a 172. Thanks for any help!!!

Hey all- excited about this new feature as I used 7SAGE to teach myself the LSAT and go from a low 150s diagnostic to a 180 on test day after a few months of studying.

I’ve been tutoring the LSAT for 4+ years, and now that October scores are out I have a few open slots, so I’m looking to take on a few motivated students for the next few months who want to achieve success on the LSAT. I received a 180 5 years ago and have been tutoring for about 4 years. This test opened a lot of doors for me, and I am very passionate about helping my students achieve their goals.

Discounted Rates for New Students:

• ⁠Free 30-minute strategy session

• ⁠$75/hr single session

• ⁠5 hours - $350

• ⁠10 hours - $600

• ⁠15+ - Flexible rates

My focus is on building strong approaches and eliminating bad habits by reviewing PTs together, breaking down problem sets, and giving feedback/tips throughout the week so progress continues between sessions.

Recently, I passed the bar exam and am taking some time off before work, so I have a lot of availability for tutoring and recent experience and tips related to intense studying. Feel free to reach out for tutoring or advice.

If you’re aiming for more consistency and higher scores, or just want some tips feel free to reach out, I’d be happy to help!

New preptest format

Not sure if this change happened to everyone, but the new format where the test window doesn't take up the entirety of the screen kinda sucks. Before it used to offer a lot more space, which was helpful for scanning the prompts and answers quicker. Anyone know how to change this back or is this a permanent update?

Hello everyone! I took the November LSAT, and while it wasn’t exactly what I hoped for, I scored a 155. I’m scheduled to retake the test in January and would love to connect with someone local who’s in a similar score range to study together.

For reference, I’m currently scoring between 155–160 and blind reviewing at 166.

I’ve taken a month off, so I might be a bit out of practice. If you’re planning to test later, that’s fine—I'm in the same position. I won’t be applying this cycle, so I’m hoping to connect with someone to study and stay motivated together.

P.S. I am a 23-year-old black female and would feel most comfortable studying with another woman.
