Just curious.
For anyone who has made it from the mid-150s to the 160s, what was the turning point?
Whether it was a specific LSAT strategy or something outside the test (like your daily routine), I’d love to hear what your turning point was.

This may just be my nerves and lack of confidence talking. I took the LSAT this morning and am unsure how I did. My last few PTs have ranged from 154-159 with my highest BR in low 160s. My goal was a 160, but I’ll be content and decline a retake if I score at least a 158. Should I continue studying before knowing my score or pick up again once I get the score on the 26th? The next test dates are for January I think. Any opinions/advice appreciated.
Edit: Is January LSAT too late for applications? Would that just delay me until next cycle?

What happens when your subscription ends? Do all your analytics get deleted? Can you still access your analytics/notes but not any drills or videos or features? Or does it get put on hold and you can reacccess it if you stop your subscription now but reactivate it down the line?
#help - The website lags whilst taking timed sections. I was trying to pause the timer, the button didn't work. I tried to move to the next question, the page froze there. This has happened a few times, so I wanted to bring it to the admin's attention.
Grateful for your help!
Hi! I think it would be cool if the study plan was more modifiable while I was going. For example, if I wanted to PT on a day instead of doing the exercises that it has planned for me, I could more easily edit it to fit with what I'm doing. I really enjoy having the study plan, but I don't like that if I miss a day or if I am doing something other than the exact tasks it gives me then I'm suddenly behind on the plan and have to catch up.
So, I just took a paper exam, and I don't know my score nor which questions I missed. I want to plug my answers into 7sage using the manual import, but before I did that, I just wanted to know if it was possible to blind review a prep test when I've manually inputted my answers. I've only ever imported from LawHub before, and I didn't try to BR those tests (or even look into whether or not I could), since I already knew what I had missed.
Will 7 sage billing for monthly for November? I normally am billed at the beginning of the month but nothing yet..
Is practice test 148 harder than other tests or is it just me. I've been pretty steady around the low 160's range and then I took test 148 and i dropped to 157. Is it my abilities or is practice test 148 actually just harder?
Hi, I'm taking the January LSAT and have been studying for about four months now. I'm looking for a study companion with the goal of keeping each other accountable and staying consistent. I also believe that there is a strong benefit in articulating and teaching material to another willing participant, resulting in richer understanding of the exam and its concepts. It's one thing to recognize the right answer; it's another to clearly explain why it's right and defend that reasoning to someone else. I believe that process of teaching sharpens your thinking in a way that solo review doesn't quite replicate and we can teach what we learn to each other when it's beneficial.
My Background/Context: I am currently and consistently PT around 167-169, with a goal of >170, performing slightly better at RC than LR. As for my study routine, I complete one hour of deep focus per day, usually in the morning or early afternoon, with Sundays off. During this hour, I complete a full LR or RC section, then go through flaw review.
My Philosophy on the LSAT: I believe the strength in conquering something difficult like the LSAT is about consistency. What's truly hard isn't solely the work itself; it's sustaining that consistency over time. This is where I believe having an accountability/study partner can really act as a benefit.
If this resonates with you and you share a similar approach to studying, I'd love to connect. I think we'd work well together keeping each other accountable and staying on track through January.

Hi everyone,
I have a question regarding GPA. Unfortunately, my GPA is quite low. My LSAT practice scores are really good; however, because of my low GPA, I’ve started to feel nervous.
LSAC completed the evaluation, and it came out as “average.” This evaluation also included my GPA. I’m not sure whether law schools will look at my original GPA or the overall LSAC evaluation average.
I read on some blogs that for international students, admissions staff often consider the LSAC evaluation average rather than the raw GPA. Is that true?
Hello! I just started the 7Sage course last week and was looking for people in Metro Vancouver to form a study group. I would be happy to meet in person or do an online group where we can talk about specific questions or sections that we need to work on. I find that teaching and learning from others is a great way to digest the insane amount of information we need to learn for the LSAT.
If anybody is interested, please let me know!
Hello,
I graduated in Fall of 2020 and been working at a law firm as a legal assistant. I already got one letter from the attorney that I work for personally, and I've also written a request to a professor. I haven't heard back yet from the professor and getting a bit nervy since I plan to finish applying by Dec 1.
I'm considering backup options -- either my second attorney who I've worked with for the past year with less workload, or a former paralegal that trained me and worked very closely with me daily (we could make the case that she was supervisory if needed) for 3 years before she moved to a different firm.
I'm confident that both people would be more than willing to write the letter, but I'm wondering which would be the better option. My feeling is that the paralegal knows me much better both professionally and personally than the second attorney.
Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks!
I've put putting in the work for about two months and seen great improvement. My initial diagnostic score was a 145 and I was able to increase that to a 154 on the October LSAT. My logical reasoning sections tend to be very hit or miss. Example: I just took a full LSAT today and on the first section I made it through all but one problem and scored 20/25. On the second LR section I made it through the same number of problems and got a 13/27 which is much lower than my normal. I usally score about 17/18 correct every section.
I am wondering if anyone has any advice for narrowing the gap between my good sections and my really bad ones. I've reviewed and cannot determine why I did so well on one and not the other. I'm taking the LSAT again tomorrow and hoping to get a few points higher than I did in October. Any last minute tips would be appreciated!
As the title suggests, I notice that I do sections (individual portions of the tests), better than I do actually PT sections. Why is that? I notice that my timing is better and overall individual score per section is better when I do sections.
It is really nerve-wracking because of the November LSAT is coming up :(
I have extensive work experience that I’d like to feature in my resume for my applications. However, I understand that the ideal resume format for a fellowship or job might differ from the one used for a law school application. What are the key differences, and what should be included for applications?
Hi 7Sage!
I'll be taking my second LSAT this Friday, but I'm definitely planning on taking a third in January. I've been in the mid-160s since starting 7Sage in September, but my Blind Review scores are always somewhere in the high 160s/low 170s.
I'm usually stuck between two answers but always seem to pick the wrong one—I just completed a LR section where I got -7 on the first run-through and -0 during Blind Review.
Any advice on how to close the gap? Thanks!!
When doing a blind review, the eliminated/hidden answers in BR selection get overlapped onto the actual take. Example (I chose C in BR and hid it, A on actual take):
Just starting my studying journey for LSAT! Anyone in Gainesville FL wanna study together to keep each other accountable hit me up!
Does anyone have any insight or advice on whether or not its a good idea to cancel your score? My previous undergrad advisor said not to cancel your score unless you absolutely flopped the test. I took the October LSAT and had some personal matters come up unexpectedly the day before. I don't think I realized how much it would subconsciously affect me and my score went down two points from my previous score last fall cycle. Is that a reason to cancel my score or maybe just write about my circumstances in an addendum?
I'm taking the November LSAT and plan to do better on that one.
Hello, I am fairly new to studying for the LSAT and my plan is to take the first LSAT in June 2026. I am trying to get a 175, but I don't know how to approach the studying. According to the study plan I should spend the first 10 weeks or so on the core curriculum and then after start practicing/drilling. Is that what I should do? Or should I structure my studying in another way? For example, I do the core curriculum one day and then practice another day?
Hello everyone! I am planning on retaking the LSAT in February 2026. I am based in Phoenix, but if any AZ (or west coast in general) people want to create a study group, please respond to this message! I would be willing to creating a group chat (Facebook, Instagram, Gmail?) for anyone interested!
Is there a rule of thumb about when it's okay to consider common sense outside information and when it's not? For example, in PT132.S4.Q17, wrong answer choice (E) cites smoking as an explanation for cancer/heart disease even though the stimulus didn't mention smoking. However, in other questions (that I can't think of to link) answer choices with external information were written off. Would appreciate any insight, it's really starting to trip me up...
Does anyone have a sheet or google doc with the best tips and tricks to look over before going into test day? I have all my notes but it is a large accumulation of notes from months. Just looking to find a simple tips and tricks sheet. Thanks
Maybe I’m dumb but just took my first PT on lawhub (would’ve taken it on 7sage but I want the free test that comes with the Fee waiver so I have to take two PTs on lawhub) i imported it to 7sage but now I want to BR but don’t have the option to Br that test on 7sage… so I’m wondering what would be the best move now? Retake it self paced on lawhub? Retake that Pt entirely on 7sage and just exclude from analytics?
Any help is appreciated!
Also should I Br the entire test or only what I got wrong? Going from drills to having to Br a whole PT is stressful af
