I just scored a 150 on PT138, blind review much higher.

Any good strats for practicing and getting better doing the questions timed?

Thank you in advance.

Hi! I had a question- am I able to change my LSAT date within the same registration (ie. from Friday Jan.9 to Saturday Jan.10)? Just want to make sure before I proceed on LSAC. Thanks!

Hi. I am hoping to create a study group for the LSAT. If anyone is in the SoCal / Inland Empire area, I would love to connect and work together! I plan on taking the LSAT in April or June. Please let me know if you are interested!

I'm looking for ways to improve 7Sage's community features—especially study groups. If you're in a study group (whether on 7Sage or elsewhere) and you're willing to talk to me for half an hour, could you reply in the comments? I'll chat you to set up a time.

To thank you for your time, we'll give all participants a $25 Amazon gift card.

By far my biggest weakness on this test is conditional and causal reasoning. I've struggled to find free videos on Youtube that offer good lectures on these topics. I liked the 7sage Fundamentals lessons, but I'd like to try something else first to re-learn the theory for excelling at these topics. Anyone have suggestions for free video content online that explains this stuff really well?

Looking for a few tips I should work on as someone scoring high 150s before test day, that could be the difference between a 158 and 160! Good luck, January test takers!

Has anyone completed the argumentative essay after taking the LSAT? I want to prioritize studying before the exam on the 8th rather than writing an essay.

Hi Friends! I've finished a lot of the curriculum before I created a study plan but now my dates are all off for a few weeks. For example, this week is just lessons that have already been completed. I tried resetting my start date and changing to a custom plan, but no luck yet. Not a huge deal, but it would be nice if the dates align. Thanks!

Hi Everyone,

I was wondering if I could get any feedback on my personal statement, for some background I am one year post-grad looking to go into the law field. I currently write contracts for events and non-profits. I just wanted to get another set of eyes on this and see how it reads. Thanks!!! Specifically looking for feedback on the ending I feel like it doesn't have that wow factor.

My grandfather never wore shorts. He scarcely spoke about his childhood in the Delta, but all the stories returned to the same scene. Beetles and bees hummed a haunting symphony. White clouds of cotton met his hips, while branches scraped his legs like tiny razors branding the circumstances of the south on his skin. Combating the racial politics of the Jim Crow South and the lack of access to resources, such as education, he enlisted in the army to garner better opportunities.

His story imprinted itself on me, echoing the experiences of many African Americans from the South, but his story was the first I learned. These stories pushed me to pursue an undergraduate education in public relations.

Through my education, I learned that rhetoric underpins everything. The ability to read, write, and interpret information can empower communities or be weaponized against them. Growing up in Detroit and briefly attending Detroit Public Schools, I witnessed how students, largely from minority backgrounds, can be disadvantaged by systems they have little power to control. I developed a unique perspective on access to education after transferring to an elementary school in a more affluent area. It was the first time I attended a school with a gymnasium, and it was the first time my learning wasn’t hindered by financial restraints.

During my freshman year of college, I had the opportunity to write a research paper on the Detroit Public School-to-prison pipeline. I gained insight into the structural injustice in education. The paper taught me how the disciplinary systems in schools differ. Black and brown students are punished with extreme force and brutality compared to other students in the same district. One interview I conducted with [REDACTED], a social scientist and professor at [REDACTED], introduced me to the word “adultification”. A term I had never heard before, but it sent a fire through me. I realized how much I love asking questions and learning facts through conversation. One word connected all my research. It felt like finding a puzzle piece you didn’t know was missing. This research and fire further pushed me towards an education in public relations, journalism, and communications.

Between these three disciplines, I learned how to use my voice as a conduit for those who could not. After working with non-profits around Detroit, such as the Detroit Jazz Festival—helping keep their educational programs free and crafting campaigns to encourage donations to the organization—I found myself wanting to do more to advocate for communities.

In search of a deeper purpose and intellectual challenge, I enrolled in the elective Law and Harm. Analyzing cases and debating ethical dilemmas engaged my writing and advocacy skills in new ways. The course taught me that law is not merely about rules, but about advocating for fairness, interpreting nuance, and shaping society's stories. I no longer just want to write stories; I want to set the background. Pivoting to a career in law is necessary to create a foundation for amplifying voices and shaping policies that impact real lives.

 My grandfather paved the way for my freedoms, even simple ones like wearing shorts. Pursuing a law school education honors his  legacy and will help  me become a stronger advocate. I am eager to contribute my perspective, shaped by resilience and advocacy, while learning from others committed to justice.

I saw an explanation that said A -> B and A-some-> C = can conclude C -some-> B. Why is that and where can I find lessons on these types of conditionals?

Is there a reason the study plan is not including any of the progress I have made in my analytics? Is there something I did not turn off when establishing the beta study plan tool?

I would like to be able to track progress in specific question types based on my progress in the study plan.

I usually score in the 170s, then every once in a while I just seem to lose IQ but only in one section. In the last PT, I scored a 167 but with -0 -2 -0 in sections 2, 3, and 4. But I got a -8 in the first section which was a RC. Why does this happen? In the next one I got a -0 but it wasn't any easier I just hit a wall in the first one. Any advice? Some useful warm up or something that wouldn't drain me before I begin but would help this drop on the first section

Thanks

Hey all! I have been taking notes on the lessons as I go but I was wondering if there was a way to export them so I could review them independently or if there was a way to view them with a nicer format? The tagging system used is really not helping me and I wish I could organize it like a google doc or notability and just have it integrated.

Has anyone found a way to export or organize them better or should I just start using a different note taking system?

While eliminating answer choices for strengthening questions, I have caught myself thinking, "this answer choice is the necessary assumption; it's too obvious for a strengthener." Yet, in fact, NA are one of the most effective ways to strengthen an argument!

However, I have also found myself choosing an answer choice for NA questions that calls out an assumption that would weaken an argument. Necessary assumptions don't merely weaken an argument when negated, they disprove an argument when negated.

So, in short, granting NA assumptions can strengthen an argument, and answer choices that merely weaken an argument can't really be the necessary assumption.

Interesting pattern in my thinking I've identified that helps me understand the relative strength of necessary assumptions in comparison to other assumptions. Understanding the NA as the bare minimum of what must be granted for the argument to make sense didn't capture this relationship to other question types for me at first.

That is all.

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share a little context and also ask for advice from anyone who has navigated LSAT prep with ADHD.

I recently realized/was diagnosed with ADHD, and looking back, it explains a lot about my first LSAT experience. I took the LSAT in November 2024, before I fully understood how my brain works, and after that test I took a break. I’m now starting back with a clearer understanding of myself and a more intentional approach to studying.

One thing I’m already noticing is that familiarity and structure make a huge difference for me. When the test feels unfamiliar, my focus drops quickly, but when I understand the question types and patterns, my attention improves a lot. I’m planning to follow the 7Sage study guide closely and really focus on mastering fundamentals rather than rushing.

For those of you with ADHD (or who’ve found strategies that help with focus and consistency), I’d love to hear:

• What study habits or routines helped you the most?

• Did you find drilling vs. full sections more effective early on?

• How did you manage timing, burnout, or mental fatigue?

• Any mindset shifts that made prep feel more manageable?

I really appreciate any insights you’re willing to share. Thanks in advance — it helps a lot to learn from people who’ve been through this.

Best of luck to everyone studying!

Hi guys, do you have any tips on how to improve low res summaries? I try to keep it under 6-7 words, mostly 3-4 words, but I struggle when questions ask me to recall details.

For example here are my low-res summaries of some passages:

PT. 108. S4. P4 [Passage about early humans not being confident hunters but scavengers]

P1 - Anthropologist wrong early humans

P2 - What is taphonomy

P3 - Cut marks different

P4 - Scavengers not confident hunters

PT111.S2.P4.Q6[Passage about why legal positivism is “erroneous” + Dworkin’s theory]

P1 -Legal positivism accept wrong / Legal positivism vs natural law

P2 - What is legal positivism

P3 - Law has internal logic

P4 -Meaning outside people’s thoughts

I appreciate any feedback!

I just scored a 166 on PT129 and got a 177 during BR (yay!) but my timed RC score was -7 and I got a -0 during BR. This is pretty standard for me: I typically get a relatively high number of RC questions wrong and then will get -1 or -0 during BR. I feel like closing that gap will allow me to break 170. Any tips for closing the gap?

Hey everyone, I had a diagnostic of 140, and my 3 practice exams since then have been 152, 149, and today a 144. I wanted to take a practice test as my exam is Jan 10th, and I am feeling so defeated. Does anyone have any tips? I am so frustrated at my steady decline.

Test Jan 7, wish me luck. General question should I continue drilling or take a break?

Last RC section -2 Last LR section -1.

Key takeaways from Studying

• Stop drilling after 5PM , my performance at night has always been significantly worse.

• Get a good night sleep

• Give the answers that look completely ridiculous a second look, especially after question 11.

• Those small keywords that don't make a difference in our everyday lives make a HUGE impact in LSAT world.

Any finally, I hope to never have to take this test again!

HI!

I watched an introductory video on 7sage which gave an explanation on each of the services 7sage provides. I am doing the self-guided study plan which I have been loving so I far I just need to commit and prioritize studying more.

However, I am trying to determine when to incorporate the live classes feature into my studying. The introductory video I watched didn't really specify when you should start utilizing the live classes during the self-guided study plan. Should I wait until i get into the practice portion of the study plan, when I am doing drills and practice tests to join live classes?

I did Princeton Review in the past so I am use to a live course program which is the complete opposite of self-guided. It puts you on a required schedule that you have to follow, so every lesson was a live class.

I want to be able to utilize the live classes feature on 7sage but I am not sure when to incorporate it. Any advice from any instructors or students who are also doing a self-guided study plan would be much appreciated.

Thank you!

I admit I haven't read everything very carefully but here seems like a better way to get answers anyway... I take the LSAT this Saturday online. I have downloaded the ProProctor app to my computer and opened it with no issue. Is the LSAT exam given through the ProProctor app or is it given on Lawhub and the app is just for the monitoring during the exam?

Second question I have a laptop and a monitor set up. I like to use my monitor as its far bigger than my laptop screen but my laptop has the camera on it. So when i use my monitor its clear that i am looking well to the side of my laptop... will this be an issue with the ProProctor? Maybe just depends on the Proctor but worth asking.

Thanks for any insight!!

Hi My name is sophia and I wanted to see if anyone wanted to create a study group that meets like 1 a week(virtual or in person) in the L.A area! Aiming to take the test in April !
