Literally just finished the lsat. Won’t be discussing content or layout of the exam but I’m so relieved to be done. May have to take the October lsat I signed up for… I was finding it way more difficult than I expected.

Most annoying part is not getting the results immediately. And just waiting. Here’s to hoping I did better than expected 😭

If anyone took the September LSAT I hope you’re all proud of doing it regardless of the score. It takes a lot of mental strength to even study for and take the exam so that’s a huge accomplishment.

I entered all my information. I reviewed my application twice. And only now, when beginning a new application did I notice I accidentally put my college start month as September when it was actually August. Is this going to mess up my chances? Do I email admissions to try and correct my mistake?

Hi, I'm currently enrolled in university in Spain and am planning to take the LSAT in January. In admissions terms, I'd guess with my current Spanish uni GPA I would be considered a splitter, given I get my goal LSAT score. But I've read that my Spanish GPA won't necessarily be considered? I'm pretty confused on how much my GPA will be worth in regards to my application, if anyone has any insight about this it would be very much appreciated! Thanks

September LSAT

I just took the September LSAT! I’m so relieved that it’s over and that I can finally have free weekends lol. I’ve been studying for almost a year now and this is my second time taking it. I feel like I did good but nerves got to me in the beginning. Here’s my experience and tips for anyone anxious!

I was super nervous when the test started because I was psyched out about people watching me focus (lol), but I gradually got used to it as time went on later in the exam. If anyone also struggles with anxiety or adhd, I would recommend just staying calm and ignoring everything around you. Don’t psych yourself out or get frustrated if you can’t focus. Just take a breath and slowly read the stimulus. It’s ok if you’re slower than usual, just don’t stop and worry! It’s also ok if you find yourself wandering a bit, just correct yourself and you’ll hopefully become adjusted throughout the test.

Good luck to everyone else scheduled to take it! Hope everyone gets their target scores ⭐️

hi all! I just took the sept test (second time taking) and walked out feeling just awful, and registered for November. I got a 162 last November, and was PT-ing in the 165-170 range before September, with a goal of 174 for my dream school. I usually get 170-180 on BR so I don’t know how to properly diagnose issues but I feel very close to my goal. Pls reach out if you are able to tutor me!

I am taking the Sep LSAT tomorrow and have done my last drill, section and PT on 7Sage. Surprisingly, it is a bittersweet feeling.

Since January, I have spent 1-2 hours nearly every morning on 7Sage, first on lessons, and then incessant drilling, PTing and reviewing. It had become a staple of my daily routine and I have felt the full range of emotions during this time. It started with me pulling my hair out, as I felt crushed by the LSAT's wiles under time pressure, and ended with me celebrating "perfect mornings", where I didn't miss a single question during the study plan's allotted section and drills. Now, I take a 60 day PT avg of 176 into test day tomorrow morning.

There were several times throughout my studying where I tried to imagine what my progress would have been without 7Sage, and I found it impossible. The inexorable tide of resources, bundled into this incredible interface and coupled with countless hours of studying and review all but guaranteed success from my perspective.

To @J.Y.Ping, @Kevin_Lin, @MichaelWright and the rest of the incredible 7Sage team, I can't thank you enough. There were so many times where one of your videos, explanations, or comments led me to genuine breakthroughs that in accumulation enable me to go to sleep tonight with the utmost of confidence and preparation.

goodnight

Hi!

To give a little background information , I have taken the LSAT multiple times and haven't scored higher than the mid 130's. I'm honestly not sure where to begin, how long to study, or if I should i purchase a tutor? I've taken a year off from studying to clear my mind and now I'm wanting to start back studying again, so I purchased 7 sage self pace study plan. The only thing is I am a hands on learner. I do plan to take the LSAT in fall of 2027; which i do have accommodations for, with extra time and removal of the experiential section. My overall LSAT goal is 150's or higher but I'm just not sure where to begin. I don't want to give up on my dream for law school nor give up on the LSAT!

Any advice would be greatly appreciated! :)

Thank you!

Hey guys, I just started studying for LSAT again (I studied all of last summer but chickend out of taking last cycle LSAT) and I plan to take the January LSAT. Feels like Im at square one again. Do you guys think it is even worth it to try to apply for the 2027 Fall admissions after taking the January LSAT?

Urgent help! Please counsel me

Technical issues during today's LSAT (Sept 11, RC-LR-LR-LR order) — what would you do?

Took the Sept 11 LSAT remotely today, section order RC, LR, LR, LR. Start was delayed by Prometric issues, then about 27 minutes into RC I got hit with a random security check that killed my focus. With around 10 minutes left to review, I found 2 answers weren't registering and I couldn't fix them. Proctor took a few minutes to respond, sent me to a support page that didn't work, phone support was just a bot, and by the time I reconnected the system skipped me straight into my break instead of letting me go back and fix those two questions.

Called LSAC during the break and they said I could cancel and try to get approved to retest Sept 22, October, or November. I ended up finishing the test since I'd prepped specifically for this date. Honestly felt confident on the LR sections but not RC.

This is also my 5th time taking it, so I don't know if they'll even let me sign up for November unless they grant me an exemption.

Has anyone dealt with something like this? Trying to decide between pushing for a test-taking-limit exemption to add an extra date, filing a complaint and hoping for a retest, or just leaving it as is. Any insight appreciated.

Hi folks, apologies but I don’t know where else to connect with other LSAT applicants on this: Asking as an ally, are there any mobilizing efforts/petitions currently in circulation directed at LSAC related to their decision on Iranian applicants and their implementation process? I imagine there has to be some kind of action from them that we can push for.

My heart goes out to all those impacted by this decision.

Fluctuating scores before October test

Sitting for the test in October, I’ve been in the high 150s and low 160s for the past 4 tests with a goal of 160 and just score a low 150 on my most recent practice test. With test day a month out should I be concerned?

Hey! I’m looking for some studying advice from anyone who has been in a similar position or has some insight into what might be most efficient for me.

I took the LSAT twice last cycle without really having the fundamentals down because I convinced myself I had to apply that cycle. Obviously, that didn’t go as planned. I scored a 142 (only 1 point higher than my diagnostic) and then a 145 on my second attempt.

This time around, I joined 7Sage and decided to start completely from the bottom and really focus on understanding the fundamentals. I feel like I’m doing much better this time, but I’d love some advice on what I should be doing differently or adding to my preparation.

I haven’t taken many timed PTs yet because I know I’m not ready for them. For reference, I’ve been scoring around 152–157 on untimed LR sections. For RC, I’ve been doing individual passages at a time, and my accuracy has been pretty inconsistent. Some of my recent passage scores were:

  • Attempt 1: 100%

  • Attempt 2: 88%

  • Attempt 3: 67%

  • Attempt 4: 17%

  • Attempt 5: 88%

  • Attempt 6: 67%

  • Attempt 7: 71%

  • Attempt 8: 40%

Right now, every day I do one untimed practice section and 1–2 RC passages. I’m also restarting my wrong answer journal because I really want to make sure I’m learning from my mistakes instead of just moving on from them.

My goal is to take the November LSAT, and I’d really appreciate any advice on how I can make the most of the time I have left. Should I be doing more, doing less, changing my approach, or focusing on something specific at this stage?

If anyone has been in a similar position and ended up making a significant score increase, I’d especially love to hear what worked for you!

Is there a way to make it so my "priority tabs" are based off the data from Month x to month x? I think it would be helpful in my studying to focus on priorities from the past say 4 months instead of the 1+ year I have been studying, especially because when I started studying I was lucky to have 30 min a day to study.

-if not I think this would be a useful system to add in-

Also, when I drill missed questions, is there a way to set that timeframe as well? That I think would be more useful to set to 5+ months ago, this way I am getting questions I got wrong, but not ones I got wrong in the past 2 weeks and have a strong memory of the correct answer because I spent 5+ minutes reviewing it and beating myself up over it.

Hi everyone, I had a general strategy question. Do you recommend reading the question stem before reading the stimulus so you know what kind of information or reasoning to look for as you read?

I’ve noticed that some instructors seem to do this when working through examples, and I can see how it might help make the reading feel more purposeful. At the same time, I don’t want to build a habit that ends up slowing me down or hurting comprehension.

For those who have tried both approaches, do you find question-first helpful, or do you prefer reading the stimulus first and then looking at the question stem?

I took the LSAT today remotely. In the final 7 mins of the second section, I experienced a tech problem. I tried to "reset" the answers that I had previously hidden, during process of elimination. The answers would not reset and remained grayed out. I was unable to change my answer. I informed the remote proctor. They paused the test. When it resumed, the problem persisted.

I requested more help from the proctor. They didn't know what to do. I told them I wanted to call LSAC. They told me to exit Prometric and call them. When I started to exit the test, I got a message that said I may be forfeiting my answers if I exit. I wrote the proctor and said I did not want to lose all the hard work I had done on the first 2/3s of the test. I asked if there was another way to do it without losing my work. I waited. And waited. And waited. No reply. I asked numerous questions. No reply. 15-ish mins passed without any help (it had now been about 45 mins since the tech problem appeared). I said aloud for the recording, and also typed into the chat, that I needed to call LSAC for help. I said that I was going to get my cell phone and call them. I waited, to give time for feedback from the proctor. No one came to my aid to confirm if I could exit Prometric without losing my data, and no one told me that I couldn't call LSAC for help.

I then proceeded to get my cell phone and dial LSAC in front of the camera, all the while speaking aloud my plans in advance, and as I was doing what I was doing. No word from the proctor. As soon as LSAC picked up my call, a Prometric security agent came on the mic and told me that I had violated the no-phone policy and my test was invalidated, and I was being kicked out of the test. No help whatsoever, and then BOOM.

I will be filing an official complaint with LSAC. (Other test challenges included different remote proctors applying rules differently for my accommodations, resulting in unnecessary room scans and wasted time.)

Have any other recent test takers run into a similar problem, where you couldn't select or edit an answer choice? I'm terrified to retest and get almost done only to run into the problem again...

I hope my story helps some other remote test takers. I still don't know if exiting Prometric would have saved or lost my testing data. And I don't know if the tech problem could have been resolved. (I'm assuming I would have had to retest no matter what.) But whatever you do, no matter how awful the proctors are being and no matter how long it takes, do NOT call LSAC until AFTER the test is done.

Hello All!

I have written a personal statement that is 4 pages long, which I am extremely proud of but most schools only accept 2 pages. I have no idea how to cut it down. Any thoughts or advice trying to get it down? Is anyone available to possibly review mine for me?

Thank you!

I’ve been studying for the last for a while now, every time I test I score higher, butttt recently I took PT 149 and scored low 140s which I know I rushed through without the extra time I was granted for accommodation ,I scored 150 on November 2025 LSAT… I’ve had a hard time scoring higher than 150 on a full test. The weird part is when taking full sections my scores are always predicted to be in the 156-160s on 7Sage but when I taking full test it’s never there… CAN SOMEONE GIVE ME POINTERS on how to hit my target score? In aiming for 160 by November lsat. I can say that I understand the foundations it’s just the trick answers that I feel I always get caught up with, or it’s more to it that I’m not understanding. I’m currently working on a wrong answer journal but not sure how much it could help to increase my score for full test

I noticed there is a way to download and print the PrepTests. Can you add this feature to Sections? Also, can you add a way to input time to complete sections when manually entering answers? I really want to practice on paper since, LSAC has gone back to in-person testing.

Tutor Needed

I need a tutor for the LSAT that I am planning to sit for in November. My August LSAT, my score was a 138 and I need at least a 152. I can afford 30 or 40 an hour, please reach out if you can tutor me

Recently, LSAC has mandated in-person testing, unless exempt. Even if exempt for virtual testing, you now have to have TWO cameras on you. Your laptop webcam, and a camera facing your computer. To anyone who knows someone that cheated .. we know exactly why this requirement came up specifically for virtual test takers

Leading to the question, how many were cheating? Well lets take a look at the hard evidence. Here are the facts:

  1. The number of LSAT Applicant tests have increased by 30% 2022 to 2026

  2. The LSAT Median (155-159) has increased similarly at 26% .. so far so good, normal distribution with added applicants.

  3. An !!!!!! 85% !!!!! increase in (175-180) scorers. Nearly DOUBLING the top line.

Any addition, or subtraction, from applicants STATISTICALLY SHOULD result in the same distribution range. We know LSAT has been very fair with creating a system for their two LRs and one RCs to keep an even playing field for all applicants. Even with the dropping of logic games, an ALMOST DOUBLING on the top line would be unheard of.

My Thesis:

LSAC realized what was going on too late, and now the cheating scores are still applying for Law School slots. It will be many years before they are all taking in, and we see the medians drop back down. LSAC will not admit that is the reason for the rule change, as that will open up scrutiny on their monopoly for the test for entry to Law School.

Exam day

For those who have taken the exam, I was wondering how does the interface look like on the actual exam. Does it have the same features as the 7sage? Also is there any difference between both?
