New to LSAT

I am a non-traditional candidate who has no clue about LSAT and needs to prepare for the June test. How helpful is the 7Sage prep? Which other courses do you recommend? Do you recommend the live classes or personal tumor prep? Thank you.

Question Types

Hello! I'm just beginning my studies for the LSAT and was wondering if someone could give me a comprehensive list of all of the question types (broken down between LR and RC). I'm getting conflicting answers on the internet and just want to be clear. (Sorry, I'm sure there is somewhere on 7Sage that has this exact answer but I am still figuring out how to navigate the site.)

Also while I'm posting, I'm feeling pretty overwhelmed after looking at the syllabus. Should I expect to go through every module? I just am not sure the best way to study. Practice tests + syllabus? Finish the syllabus first before drills or practice test? Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

Scoring between mid 160s to mid 170s. Looking for someone in a similar score range (or higher) to double down in the upcoming weeks.

Looking to over-train and do sections/drills that are much harder than anything we'd see on the exam. Looking to do ~3 hour days.

My main struggle areas are PF w/ similar answer choices, heavy conditional MBT, and heavy conditional SA.

Mainly work through discord. Drop a comment or send a dm.

Hi all. I'm brand new to LSAT studying, and was immediately pointed toward 7sage.

I've seen so much about not wasting PTs, but I'm curious about "wasting" drilling questions. So far (for the two or so weeks I've been studying) I've been doing a 3-5 question LR warm up each day, just to get myself into study mode, thinking about the concepts, etc. But now I'm wondering if this is an unsustainable practice.

Does anyone do anything similar? Have you run into issues?

If not, do you do anything particular to focus yourself before diving into studying?

Hi all,

I have a question regarding my letters of recommendation. I work as a paralegal at a small law firm, for two partners (husband and wife) who work very closely with each other and myself on pretty much everything. When I asked them to write letters of recommendation for me, they suggested writing one letter together rather than two separate letters. I did some research and have read that this is not recommended. However, I also feel that two letters from each of them may turn out to be redundant.

I should also note that I've been out of college since 2021, so I feel I'd be too far removed to ask a professor for a letter.

Has anyone encountered this before? Any advice on how to go forward?

Thank you!

Hi everyone! My name is Laura and I'm currently studying to take the LSAT in February. This will be my first time and although I am attempting to go in with some confidence, I'm also being realistic that my likelihood of having to retake it at least once is probably high 😭. Anyway, I do really enjoy studying and learning from others so if anyone is in the Chicagoland area and would like to make a study group or just be online study buddies (don't have to be in the Chicagoland area), I'd really like that! I don't have anyone in my life currently who is studying for the LSAT or any sort of major exam like this, so it'd be great to have some company.

Logging In

Hi! I got logged out of my devices and couldn't log back in. I changed the Password, however, I'm permanently logged out of everything and it says that the new password is incorrect!!! I pay for a subscription, so I'm upset that I can't access it. What do I do?

Helllooo, looking for people interested in taking the April and/or June 2025 LSAT in NYC and looking for fellow testers to help learn and hold themselves accountable to studying- I've been studying off and on for about a year and looking to lock in over the next couple of months- open to people at all levels and esp looking for slightly older students ? Anyone 25+?? HMU

I'm just going to be real.

This test will demoralize you and really shake your confidence in your own cognitive abilities and self-efficacy. Oftentimes, you'll be stuck because you aren't able to know what you don't know and spend weeks to months hustling backwards. If anyone is in a similar place and wants to give/receive encouragement, tips, and complain/vent, I hope you'll feel comfortable enough to text me at XXXXXXXXXX or message me. Studying for this test can be very isolating because only the people studying for this test have any concept of how difficult it is. No one gets it. One of the ways this test can break you down is by creating incredible amounts of self-doubt that didn't exist before, especially if you are traditionally a high performer. It is comforting to know that you aren't the only one crying and losing your shit, which is why I wanted to get in contact with people who want to be real about how this test has affected their self-concept. It's very possible to lose months to even years of your life studying for this test while making no gains, and losing tens of thousands of dollars through tutors (non 7sage) who charged exorbitant fees and didn't give you the foundations, enough structure, or could not accurately diagnose where you were going wrong in your practice. Being able to talk to other people who are in the trenches with you and who also have been thoroughly demoralized and/or financially ruined by predatory grifters who were ineffective/condescending teachers can help you feel less alone and less that it is a "you" problem while helping to up your morale and figure out a game plan, manage test anxiety, and avoid pitfalls that will eat away at your morale, savings, and self-efficacy. Let's learn from each other's mistakes.

This test is deeply classist and ableist and we should stop being collectively gaslit that our performance on this test is determined primarily by merit and effort versus being heavily dependent on financial resources, support, and connections. Giving everyone who is reading and relating to this a virtual hug. You are not a loser and you are not stupid. Your tenacity and resilience will ultimately be rewarded. Let's give each other the privilege of knowing.

Hi, all,

Let's give everyone some reassurance! I know there are times I need/want it which means there are possibly others out there who need and want it.

My initial, blind diagnostic was a 143. Since then I've gone up to a 146. Progress is progress.

Context: I just started my study journey. On day 9. It's going well, in my opinion, and I'm working very hard to not get discouraged for a few reasons. 1) As we've heard the LSAT is HARD. 2) I've only studied 9 days. 3) I've been out of school for nearly 6 years. May sound like excuses but the facts are the facts.

Any similar stories, or success stories of raising your score overtime? Let's help everyone out and put their nerves and emotions at ease! We know, after all, that we CAN do this. Despite it maybe not feeling that way a time or two. (Or more.)

Best way to study?

So my friend told me that the practice tests are the most important when it comes to succeeding with the LSAT. Is that true?

Wouldn’t it be to go through all the videos and understanding them more important?

The category of questions in logical reasoning that I have had the most trouble with are parallel or analogy questions. I am wondering if it would be worthwhile to, upon coming across them in the test, flag these questions and move on and come back to them at the end of the section. The questions are massive time eaters and I feel like my time could be better spent elsewhere. And even still, I will be coming back to them at the end anyway. I'd love to hear of any insights into this. Thanks.

Study Buddies?

Hi everybody,

I'm looking for a study partner who has some familiarity with the test, and is ideally (but you don't have to be) somewhere around the 160s score range. I'm trying to make that leap into the 170s, and hope we could help each other do so.

I'm in Laramie, Wyoming so I'm doubting there will be anyone in my area lol, but we can meet over zoom, skype or something similar.

I was thinking we could both take the same PT each week, blind review it separately, then meet each weekend to review the test together, and help one another learn from missed questions. We could do this during the week with timed sections as well, or even with tough questions from drilling. Or anything else you would have in mind!

Please reach out if you're interested! Let's crush this test.

Hello all! I would appreciate your honest feedback about my situation.

My dream school is Georgetown Law due to some of the dual programs they have, and I think I have a really strong application for this next cycle. As of now, I have a 4.0 GPA from an Ivy, with two well-known professors from the law school here writing a letter of rec for me. According to my tutor, I also have a very strong resume given my experience at some top firms around the country, and my research assistant positions at my school's law school as well as some con law extracurriculars. Given my interest in the public sector, my resume and personal statements help me in this way too.

My only potential issue is the LSAT, as I got a 165 for my first try this January. Because of a family situation that developed, and school+work, my ability to dedicate as much time to studying for the LSAT has been severely restricted. I can still study here and there, but I'm not sure how much progress I can make to raise my score given my situation, at least for this cycle.

So I was wondering if anyone could share their opinions about my competitiveness for Georgetown Law. With my resume, GPA, and score, do I have a good chance of getting in? I know their median is 171 this year but I don't know how much the extracurricular and GPA elements can help my application.

Hi, I’m offering 4 free tutoring online sessions (1hr/wk) to 1-2 students who completed the core curriculum but PT scores are in plateau. I originally planned to do this to help someone in financial hardship, but anyone is welcome and you don’t need to prove anything!

I started with a diagnostic test score of 134 and ended with an official score of 164.

I had a hard time increasing my scores because I immediately started PTing without strong foundation after a month of study. Looking back, I should have focused more on basics, especially translation of stimulus and passages.

Thus, I’d like to teach LR & RC translation skills and some question tips. I’ll be using materials from old PT 40-50s.

Please reach out to me via chat if you are interested.

Early mornings like 7-8 AM EST work best for me and late night after 9 PM EST also works for me.

Thank you!

=========================================

Already two people reached out to me and we're talking, so I will let you all know again if it doesn't work out or there's vacancy.

RC Score Fluctuations

I'm pretty consistent in my LR sections, but my RC scores seem to fluctuate A LOT. Like, -2 in one PT and then -10 in the next. As a result, my overall PT scores are pretty inconsistent as well.

What is going on? Any tips/tricks to maintaining a more consistent RC score? Anyone else have a similar experience?
