Hey there. I am going to be in Lagos for some time. I would most likely take the LSAT (Jan) here as well. I would love to have weekly study sessions with anyone here also studying for the exam.

With the June LSAT less than a month away, I would really like to be able to see my improvement by tag. I want to see if what I've been doing to target issues within specific tags as been working...
Hello! I'm a practicing attorney who has tutored the LSAT in some capacity for over 10 years, has specialized on it for 7 years, and has a long, verifiable track record of success on WyzAnt (profile "Shane G.") - in case that's helpful as a reference point.
I've been practicing law for about 1.5 years now (licensed in October 2024), and because I work solo on both the legal and LSAT tutoring fronts, I fortunately have a good amount of flexibility with respect to how I build out my days / devote my time. That's been a high priority of mine for years, and because of that, I can typically figure out a meeting setup that works for the vast majority of students who contact me (including some overseas students currently).
That said, because I run my own law firm and am an expecting father (May 11 due date!!), I'm looking to keep sessions (both 1-on-1 and group) consistent. My intention is to offer 2-6 group sessions (1.5 hrs each) throughout the week depending on interest/scheduling, with each session comprised of 3-9 students per session, though the exact composition may vary for each session.
If you are interested in working with me 1-on-1 or in a group setting, please reply below or message me, starting your reply/message with "1-on-1", "Group", or "Both", and of course feel free to elaborate from there.
Thanks for your time and best of luck using 7Sage! It's an excellent platform and has been my top recommendation to students for at least the last 6 years. Please be sure to use the customizable drill feature heavily once you've gone through the core curriculum - best way to break through plateaus in my experience!
Hey all,
I'm in south Florida, starting to study for the LSAT with hopes to take in October, anybody down to study together? Preference on local people. Thanks!
Hello everyone!! I just did the second argumentative writing on Lawhub and I wanted to know your opinion about it. I have less than a month to improve so I would love to hear what you think about this response and is there anything I can do to improve it. Thank you so much in advance!!! I copied it exactly as it was at the end of 35 minutes:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The parents' role in education should not exceed the role of other authorities, mainly the educators and teachers. One of the main reasons for this idea is that the authorities in that area, specifically the educators are the professionals in their field. They posses years of knowledge and experience that was earned through a long period of time teaching and analyzing the results from it. These knowledge and experience can be successfully put into practice while choosing and teaching children what they should and what they need to learn.
Moreover, the decision of parents rests on the idea that parents already analyze and predict what their children will need and do in the future. Weaknesses in this idea are inevitable. First of all, parents' could impose their own desires and beliefs, even without realizing, into their child and one's future. On the other hand, educators equip all children with objective and broad knowledge, which is given through different subjects and their assessments. This way, one could get the basic knowledge and make a decision for themselves by analyzing what areas are in their interests and what they want to carry with themselves into the future. Another weakness in the parents' idea, which stems from the first one, is that children could not even know that their life is being influenced by their parents. This could lead to years of uncertainty in one's choice of major in the university or even one's career path. This decision should be done by children themselves and the best way they could do it is by being guided with objective and broad information acquired from their teachers.
I certainly disagree with the perspective 1 in terms of it being rested on some assumptions. First, it assumes that the effects social media or any other negative influence on the life today will affect public schools adversely and strain the belief the parents have on school teaching methods. It assumes that parents' being able to choose for their children will counter those undesirable effects of modern harmful and inappropriate influence. This same idea also rests on the assumption that educators are not knowledgable enough to assess these same concerns. These teachers and educators, as mentioned in previous paragraph, are, first of all, in their respective fields because of their ability and their years of knowledge of teaching and education. If those educators were people who never dealt with such issues, then it might spark a debate whether they are capable enough of delivering the desired results and counter the undesirable influences.
Another interesting idea is put forward in perspective 3 which I grant to be the example of my previous arguments about the capability of educators and teachers. The educator is capable enough to assess what is needed for child's future given the period of time they are in. The idea in this perspective about fundamental values is especially correct in that such values are fundamental for successful future of children. While parents a lot of time make assumptions or desires based on their subjective assessment or their life's period, educators such as in perspective 3 are wholly focused on objectivity and the requirements of their period of time.
Additionally, even the perspective 3 is partly supportive of my argument in terms that it indicates that parents' often judge by their own life experience and their period of living, although this argument fails to recognise that even if students are fully capable of being cautious and informed, nevertheless, the role of educators in this respect would enhance their understanding and knowledge. It could equip them with more ideas about the dangers of some content or even strengthen their own beliefs and knowledge by giving them concrete evidence. This would make them more confident in their abilities and in their actions as they move forward in life.
Despite my defense of the role of educators in the education of children, it is still correct that parents are very important in child's life, whether by guidance or giving them knowledge. We must admit that parents also possess years of experience and knowledge. But this knowledge, while being significant for child's future, might not be as precise and as professional enough as it is in educators or teachers methods of teaching. Thus, while admitting that parents should educate their children as much as they can, the ultimate requirements for future and child's knowledge is best decided by other authorities.
I need help on Flaw Qs, specifically navigating the answer choices.
I'm getting better at finding the flaws in the argument. I have a prephrase or a rough idea of what the flaw could be. I'm trying not to be overly attached to the prephrase either, but even then I am often running into trouble.
It's the answer choices that give me such a hard problem.
In my current approach, I equip myself with different tests I run:
Is it descriptively accurate?
Is it the flaw?
For takes for granted/assumes, MBT test
For Overlooks possibility/fails to consider, Weaken test.
But, the way the answer choice is worded really tricks me up. I also try do piecemeal analysis, but that doesn't really help me decipher the answer choices.
Does anyone have any suggestions or tricks they do when going through flaw questions?
Hello all!
I want to start by saying I am exceptionally grateful for my April LSAT score. I took it for the first time, and got a 170. I am very happy that my hard work paid off, and am thrilled that I will be able to go to law school.
That said, I am considering a retake, but uncertain. For context, my dream school has a median LSAT of 171, and to attend, I would need to be able to receive at least a half tuition scholarship, otherwise I will not be able to afford it. On numbers alone (hoping that the other parts of my app are at least decent), I feel there's a decent chance I could get in, just not sure about scholarship. I plan to apply for outside scholarship opportunities as well. There are other schools I would be happy to attend, but the above mentioned school is my dream.
I am above their 75th percentile for GPA, which I think should be helpful. I also have a few years of law-adjacent experience.
Here's my pros/cons list:
Pros: retake could potentially put me over their median. This would likely lead to an increase in scholarship money.
Cons: if I don't do better, taking it again would feel like a waste of the limited financial resources I have and would potentially make my first score look like a fluke.
I have PT-ed above 170 a few times. If I can get mid 170s consistently, I may lean towards a retake more heavily. My only opportunity for a retake will be August, as I will be out of state for most of Sept/Oct/Nov. Also, January, but I would like to have applied by then.
What do you all think? I'm just at a bit of a loss here.
Hey guys, I am back studying and would like a study buddy or maybe a group but I want someone who I can study with in person in Philadelphia, PA. I do work in the am so it would be afternoon. I am in north philly but I can drive to meet in other parts of philly or if your around me we can meet up here. Im planning to take it in August :)
Hello! I'm a top-rated tutor on WyzAnt (profile "Shane G.") and am just getting set up as an independent tutor on 7Sage - after having made 7Sage my top recommendation as a 1-on-1 or group session supplement for the past 6 years at least.
I'm planning to start a free 1.5 hr weekly LR-focused session, at a time convenient for both myself and those attending, which will largely take on a Q&A style. However, if I notice a pattern/trend in the questions asked, then the remainder of the session may stay devoted to that area (e.g., NA v. SA, conditional logic, etc.).
Positive by-products of the free weekly session for those attending may include finding others with whom to form their own study group (especially if student attendance ranges from 3 to 9 attendees), learning new ways to drill target areas (a strategy I highly recommend), and finding connections between LR question types based on the questions we cover together (7Sage's logic concept tags are great for this).
Please join the group if you're interested! We can then figure out how to best schedule the free weekly session.
Hello everyone! I just want to say how I'm pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoy live sessions. I used to think they sound too complicated to integrate into my schedule, but after trying them out today, they're actually very enjoyable, and knowing that there are real people on the other end of the screen makes the studying experience a lot less isolating. Looking forward to more classes (and the selection is also amazing)!
Hello,
About 25 days into studying for the September + October LSAT. 60% through the foundations course, I genuinely feel like I am understanding most of the concepts (Lawgic the most challenging for me). I find I get a bunch of questions wrong in the drills because I don't read carefully enough and I am trying to move quickly. I don't know if it's my own impatience and limited time to study, but I want to make sure this doesn't continue on to when I am testing. Does anyone have tips for how to read more carefully while still answering the questions quick enough? It just scares me that going slow I will never be able to speed back up quickly enough to answer all the questions in a set in time.
Hi everyone, Im Sharelle from Buffalo, NY. I'll be taking my LSAT in October with the anticipation of starting Law School by Spring of 27, if there are any one in the Buffalo area who is currently studying for their LSAT who has a study group I would love to join or if you're in the Buffalo area and would like to start a study group I would love for us to all connect.
Hello - I'm Grant and I am looking to offer some free help.
I am still amidst my study journey, but I thought it would be a good idea to get a new perspective on the LSAT by trying to teach those newer to the test, or those who are scoring in the 130/140's and would like to improve. Could be a win - win scenario.
I scored a 161 on the April administration, but I have many PT's between 163-170. I have been on my journey since last July, so I do believe I have some valuable insight regarding this test.
I am just looking to hop on a call for an hour or so once a week to work through some problems and possibly help to offer a new perspective.
Disclaimer - I am not claiming to be a tutor by any means, I am not asking for payment, I am just trying something new for myself that could benefit someone else as well :)
I feel so frustrated at the blind review feature. When I was first starting, I didn't realize that blind review shows you questions regardless of whether they were right or wrong. I then adjusted it in my preferences. However, I didn't realize that when it says "Flagged" for "Questions that you left flagged at the end of your practice," that it would bring me to my flagged questions with the exact same format as if it was incorrect. I thought it would just keep my flags on the question. Now I just did another blind review session where I changed the answers for the questions I answered correctly the first time, because I assumed they were wrong. This is so frustrating and I wish it was clearer on the UX why it was being suggested for blind review. Now that practice section won't be included in my analytics.. :(
Hey there! Seeking people in Miami to study with. I'm specifially located in the Coral Gables area. If there is interest, I'll start a discord group, where we can schedule meet up times to keep ourselves on track and motivated. Let me know below :)
Hello everyone!
I am taking the October 2026 LSAT and I would like to get a local study group going. I am willing to meet in person or online, whatever works best for anyone who decides to join!
Hi,
Below is every practice test I took up until my real test in april.
I took every test there is on 7sage that isn't an older test. What is your recommendation? Is it ok for me to re-practice tests in addition to drilling? Is there anyway to get new tests on 7sage? Do I really have to resort to taking older tests not in the LSAT computer format? I really need to start studying to be prepared for June. I really really want to beat my old score. Speaking of old score, what should I do if my 2nd test is lower? Cancel it or...? IF it depends on the score how long until a cancel is worth it? My target score is 166.
As the title states, I want to change my study plan to focus more on RC instead of LR
There are so many aspects of the new format that do not make any sense. First off, on RC you have far more scrolling to do. Everything is squished. The only solution is to make the words microscopic...
Second, the toggling to hide answers does not make any sense. Who thought that was a good UI change?
I saw one guy recommending making the background purple just to see everything better? I mean my word... what have we come to
Third, I dont even know... im just ranting at this point.
I'm currently going into my 4th year undergrad and I'm taking the LSAT this June. I just started reaching out to professors to get a confirmation that one is willing to write a letter of recommendation for my law school applications, but it is very difficult since my major is huge and all of the lectures have 200+ people. My grades are all in the A and A+ ranges. One of the professors I reached out to replied to me and said that she cannot write it since she does not know me first-hand, but she is okay with me reaching out to my TA to write about me, and then she will sign off on it but still explicitly state that she does not know me. In my opinion, I don't think that will be very helpful, but she says that method has been successfully used by other students in my position. I'm honestly just a little stressed and nervous and not sure what to do here. I'm still waiting for 2 other professors to reply to my emails. I honestly just need one academic letter since I plan on getting one from my boss at work. I'm applying to Ontario law schools only.
Hi everyone,
I am having trouble understanding causal reasoning. Would anyone be able to explain how it works and how I should approach a stimulus when the question type involves causal reasoning?
Also, I was wondering whether 7Sage has a section where we can review causal reasoning.
Hello everyone!! I just took an argumentative writing test on Lawhub for the first time, and I want to know how is this from your perspective. I have less than a month to study for taking the real test. I would love to hear every advice you can give me!!!! Here is my writing:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Emphasizing career preparation over teaching general, broad knowledge would be a serious mistake which is to be avoided at all costs. The general knowledge acquired through one's university studies are so valuable that those without it could find moving in life a lot difficult. The university education is an investment in the first place. This investment, while partly being about having a good career path, is still, a beautiful way for discovering and building oneself.
Building upon this argument I will be in an agreement with the ideas from the second perspective. University is a place and time where you discover yourself, where all the knowledge acquired is stepping tool not only for getting a great job after graduating, but also for finding who you are and what your own perspectives are. Illustrating from my own experience I would emphasize how transformative the university experience was for me. Before starting my degree I thought only about what kind of job I will get and how much it will pay me while not even thinking about if I would like what I will do or not. I have acquired broad range of knowledge even from my first year of university which helped me realize of how little I know about my own self and about everything else. Every opinion, every perspective I had before starting the university has been redefined or at least, changed in some way. This change not only helped me in understanding my own values but also helped me to change my career path. I realized that I am not who I was before and I, probably, never even wanted this career path. This realization was only possible through acquisition of broad knowledge that was given by the university. If we consider the alternative option, if my university was fully focused on teaching me about my career and how to excel in this path, I would have chosen a path that wasn't mine to follow. So, broad knowledge might not directly influence how strong of a candidate or how successful employee one will be, it, nevertheless, directly guides one to the path one should and ultimately wants to take.
As we can observe in perspective one, the emphasis on career education leaves out the opportunity of discovering oneself. While I fully recognize that the argument stated in this perspective regarding today's job market is probably correct, still such a view of university education leads one to live for work and not use work for living. Another interesting point is made regarding contributions, specifically - contributing to society which is something that will be achieved even without career education. The knowledge acquired through university creates broad skills that can be useful in so many instances that one could contribute to society in so many different ways rather than being professional in only one route.
While I defend broad teaching by universities, I, nonetheless, understand that a lot of students have sole motivation to be as successful as they can in their respective career path. This motivations would lead one to emphasize career readiness more than knowledge of different subjects. But this is mainly what I was arguing in the preceding paragraphs, this is the example of someone who found their own way and wants to follow it. But while teaching broad knowledge could help diverse range of students, such approach as career education is mainly beneficial to those students who have already found their way and their identity. This is while being unjust, is also depraving career focused students from discovering a lot more than they think is possible. Even if they don't discover anything new, nonetheless, they will be certainly sure on their chosen path and ideas.
As I defend teaching broad knowledge, I must emphasize, in case there is a counter argument that this way is not creating ready students for their career, that this broad knowledge leads one to be able to adapt to different environments, and in turn prepares one to take on wide range of career paths and responsibilities. The skills acquired from broad knowledge are essential for achieving a beautiful and wholeheartedly desired life, while skill for career success can be earned through working, The time in university is not unlimited, thus it would be best used to acquire as much knowledge as possible and discover deeply who one is and what life they desire the most.
Hi, on the internet and in the past, it seems like users were able to make custom drill sets. When I go to drills, however, I don't see any buttons to do this. It has drill templates at the bottom but I don't know how to make one. When I go to questions and add filters, there is no button to create a drill set. Can somebody please help me figure this out?
I’ve wanted to be a lawyer since I was in middle school and I have so much passion for fighting people (lol I’m mean) but I’m getting a little discouraged because GPA matters so much for a T14 school and I ended undergrad with a 3.4. Before I apply to law school I’ll have been working full time in a non-legal field for 3 years. To me my GPA shouldn’t matter at that point but I know it will. Any advice? What LSAT score do I aim for? Help a girl out 😭
