Hello!

I am planning on taking the LSAT in June of 2027 but will not be actually applying for law school for quite some time. I am in the military and need to complete my contract first before thinking of my next steps, however I have some down time for the next few months and again before June. All this to ask, if I should include this on my comments after I take the LSAT to let admissions know why my test will be several years old when I apply? If possible, I have more questions and would love to connect 1:1 with and admissions counselor!

Hi! I am a non traditional student who is a "second careerist" located in Northeastern Pennsylvania. I am planning on taking the LSAT in Feb of 2027. Looking for a study buddy/ accountability partner. Anyone interested? I am also looking to apply exclusively to only online programs.

Hey guys first post wanted to share my progress. Took my first official April 2025 in an heap of panic, little prep and got a 148.. over the last year and a half, learned about LSAT, study strats and figured out what the goals really were.

Switched to 7Sage a year ago and after trying to study for LSAT while doing a Masters degree, got a 154 on Jan 2026 LSAT..

Graduated locked in these last 4 months, put in about 500 hours since June and had a 162 PT yesterday (169 BR) with quite of few easy mistakes I felt like I should've got better..

I test in Nov and I'm excited to see the results of my hard work!

The goal is 165!

A lot of you asked where to do drills, sections, and PTs. You’ll find them under Study > Drills, sections, PTs.

Until a few hours ago, that tab was called “Custom practice,” and your feedback made it clear the name didn’t mean much. So we renamed it to “Drills, sections, PTs.” Hopefully that’s clearer.

Some of you also mentioned it now takes more clicks to get where you want to go. I want to understand that better. Under the old menu, you clicked once to open the Study submenu and again to pick your destination. Under the new navigation, it’s also two clicks: Study, then Drills, sections, PTs. That said, I recognize it’s not exactly the same. Before, the second click was instant. Now you have to wait for the Study page to load and then find the next thing to click.

What we gained with this change: Analytics now has its own top-level spot in the menu, Games now lives under Study where it belongs, and drills, sections, and PTs are combined into one more compact view instead of three separate pages.

Please keep the comments and suggestions coming! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ I’m reading every single one. Thank you!

For reference, part 1 is here.

Ugh! I am having a hard time. Should I start with 7Sage first? Or the Loophole book?

Hello I never post on this forum mostly because I’ve been happy with the changes that are made and improvements which I appreciate. Between Monday and Wednesday there was a change made to the website where the PrepTest and Drill tabs at the top of the website were removed. I think this is a mistake. For Users like me who only use 7Sage to Drill and do PrepTests, it is an inconvenience. I know it’s only 2 more clicks, but for me this change just seems unnecessary.

A posible solution could be to let us favorite certain sections/tabs and allow us to choose, or just simply revert the change.

Thanks for reading hope I made sense lol 😁

Hi there. I have taken this test too many times and all of those times have been virtual. I was wondering if anyone has any advice as to if there are differences in prepping for the in-person exam or things to be wary of to try to make sure I don't get thrown by this change. I have been taking my PTs at the local library in a cubicle, without headphones (since I wear glasses). It can be noisy especially since there are programs for young children on the weekends but I think filtering that out has been a needed exercise.

I appreciate any thoughts or advice. This is also my last attempt so I am pretty on edge about it :) Thanks

Hi everyone! I took the October test last week and gave myself until today to relax and not think about the LSAT. Now, I'm trying to pick my best course of action. I am currently PTing in the low 160s with a 167 two weeks before October. I felt pretty good about my October test (better than any of my PTs so far), but for all I know I could've been in the 150s. Anyways, I'm operating as though I will be taking November. My goal score is a 165+. I've been studying 2 hours a day 6 days a week. I do timed sections with thorough review as well as targeted drills on my weak points. I do one PT a week with a full review the following day. Would it be worth it to try something new? Maybe try The Loophole as I haven't read it (if it can even be read in this short time). Or just keep doing what I'm doing? I feel pretty stressed in this last month as November is my last chance at my goal score. I also feel like I'm in a weird limbo as I don't know my October score. Any thoughts/tips are appreciated!

Hi!

I'm giving the LSAT in November and was looking for study buddies who are part of the older demographic (30+). If anyone is interested, please drop a comment or pm me.

New: Line-by-Line Mode for drills, sections, and PrepTests

We've added a new training mode called Line-by-line mode. When it's on, the stimulus or passage is hidden except for the first sentence. To reveal the next sentence, just click. You can click anywhere on the hidden lines or below the stimulus.

Why use it? It helps you practice reading line by line, making sure you understand each sentence before moving on. That's a habit we encourage, and many tutors like to work with their students this way.

Give it a try and let us know what you think! (Try it together with Anticipation mode, too!)

It takes a little bit of time to get used to. But after one day of drilling, I've gotten used to it and I prefer not having to hover over a menu title to open more menus. Not sure if this existed in the old layout, but now I can easily access the "Games" page from "Study".

Hi all!

I created a FREE site so that you can use it to study for the LSAT AND during law school. You can quiz, flashcard, set up specific question type vocab that can be seen in the test and even 1l+. It is free. I created this to help myself, and after I started UNDERSTANDING the verbiage in the questions and the answers, is when it finally clicked for me. I've since been scoring 92-100% on all my drilling with correct predictions etc. I hope this helps and again, it is FREE. www. LR Vocab . Com.

Is it important in your personal statement to indicate areas of law you are interested in but that you are ultimately not sure which one you will go into? Or is this something you should indicate in another part of the application?

Thank you in advance!

Is it not advised to explicitly reference one's personal statement in their diversity statement? For example, "In my personal statement, I explained how my interest in law school is connected to X (a part of my identity). I now want to discuss how X informs who I am and how I would contribute to the Y Law School community." I know the wisdom is usually 'show don't tell'--is the above approach too formulaic/heavy-handed?

Hi!

I have a 3.57 GPA from a good rigorous undergrad and I am consistently scoring 165 on my practice tests, I take the test in November, I am really hoping to get the score up.

I am not expecting any miracles of getting into top schools with my GPA, and I want to be realistic but what are my chances of getting in to any schools if I applied this cycle?

I don’t have any strong law experience or extracurriculars, but I do have strong essays and great letters of recommendation.

Hi everyone! I have been studying full time consistently since June, beginning with a low 150's diagnostic. I've taken few full exams since: 168, 164, 162, 165, 161, 162 (170 & 168 this week and last week, but those were merged sections done in the same day - not test day conditions).

1. I have gotten my LR down to -1-2, and hit -0 for the first time earlier this week - but can't seem to hold these scores steady getting up to -6 depending on the day. I took a break from sections a few weeks ago and focused solely on drilling weakness which really helped me feel much more comfortable in approaching every question type, and I feel like I have the foundations down.

2. For RC, my lowest is -2 untimed, and I typically get between -3-7 timed, but also get up to 9-10 wrong some days. I have done the 7 Sage curriculum and also the first three modules of RC Hero, but panic when I'm doing the full sections. I can do drills ranging from level 1-5, with 100% accuracy and within 7-8 minutes, several in a row, but can't seem to keep this up in sections.

3. I struggle to commit myself fully to practice exams. The 3-hour sit taunts me, and I can't focus knowing that I will be sitting there for so long and its not even the real exam. I have no issue sitting for three hours straight studying, doing sections, drills, review, etc., but panic when it comes to full tests (maybe because if I don't see progress I get super unmotivated?).

I am taking in November (rescheduled both September & October because of the variance) and am hoping for high 160s- low 170s). I have very few fresh sections left for both LR & RC, and have 8 more fresh tests in the 150's (although I want to save some, because I plan to retake the test next year if it doesn't work out)

Any advice for the variance and keeping scores consistent? Tips for the mental side of things? Also, for anyone who struggled to take the full Pt's and actually focus on them, did this level of focus change test day? Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and for any tips you might have!

Hi! Does anyone know if there are specific (or unspoken) requirements for resume margins? I saw 7sage emphasizes 1-inch margins, but most schools don't have any explicit requirements beyond page count. I've also heard it has to be within a certain range for some word processors, but I'm not sure what that range is exactly. Anyone have a good rule of thumb? My resume right now would not fit everything if I used 1-inch margins.

Hi everyone!

Quick tip for anyone struggling to apply what they've learned under timed conditions: don't try to consciously remember every strategy or lesson while working through a question. Instead, focus on developing a consistent reasoning process and identifying the specific mistakes that keep recurring. After reviewing a missed question, ask yourself what you should have recognized or done differently before choosing an answer. The goal is to make those habits increasingly automatic so you can rely on them under time pressure.

As more of my current students finish their testing cycles, I'm opening additional availability for others preparing for the November, January, and later LSAT administrations.

About me: I scored an official 180 on the LSAT while working full-time, so I understand the challenge of preparing seriously for this test around a demanding work schedule. Since then, I have tutored the LSAT full-time and worked with students across a wide range of scores, from students still building their foundations to those trying to break into the high 160s and 170s or make 170+ performance more consistent.

How I approach tutoring:

I don't think tutoring should just consist of someone explaining questions after you miss them. Most students can understand an explanation once they hear it. The harder part is learning how to recognize the issue yourself before choosing an answer.

During sessions, I want to hear how you reason through the question first: what you noticed, what you predicted, where you hesitated, and why certain answers remained attractive. From there, I'll walk you through my own reasoning so we can compare the two and identify exactly where your process is breaking down.

For Logical Reasoning, I focus heavily on argument structure, prediction, flaw recognition, and understanding why tempting wrong answers fail. The goal is not just to understand why the credited answer works after seeing an explanation, but to become increasingly capable of recognizing the reasoning yourself.

For Reading Comprehension, I focus on passage structure, viewpoints, author attitude, and knowing where information lives in the passage. Memorizing every detail is unnecessary. It's far more important to understand how the passage is organized so that you know what matters and where to return for textual support.

Personalized study plans

For private students, I also use your recent PTs, drilling analytics, Blind Review, review habits, wrong-answer journal, and what I observe during our sessions to build a study plan around the patterns actually costing you points.

The study plan is not something I give you once and expect you to follow unchanged until test day.

As your performance changes, the plan changes with it.

If something that was previously a weakness becomes reliable, we can reduce the time you spend there. If your next few PTs reveal a different recurring issue, that can become the next priority. What you're studying several weeks from now shouldn't necessarily still be determined by what your analytics showed today.

Tutoring may be particularly useful if you:

• understand explanations afterward but keep making similar mistakes

• frequently get stuck between two answer choices

• have a meaningful timed vs. Blind Review gap

• struggle with timing, second-guessing, or confidence

• feel inconsistent across practice tests and aren't sure why

• aren't sure what you should actually be prioritizing each week

Ways to work with me:

Private Tutoring (1:1)

Individual sessions built around your reasoning process, recent PTs, analytics, and current areas for improvement. What happens between sessions helps guide what we work on next, rather than treating each tutoring session as an isolated lesson.

Study Buddy Prep

A two-person tutoring option for students who already have a friend or fellow LSAT studier with similar goals and would like an alternative to private tutoring.

You each work through questions independently before we compare reasoning, which gives you the benefit of individualized feedback while also hearing how another student approached the same problem.

Weekly Group Classes

Small, interactive classes capped at 10 students. Each week focuses on a specific LSAT concept, question type, or strategy, with the topic announced in advance so you can choose the classes most relevant to you.

For each question, everyone first answers through an anonymous poll, so you're able to participate without publicly sharing your answer. Speaking is never required.

Students who want to can then explain their reasoning before I break down the question, share my own approach, and go through the structure, prediction, credited answer, and most tempting wrong-answer choices.

Classes currently meet:

• Thursdays at 6:00 p.m. ET

• Sundays at 3:00 p.m. ET

Thursday and Sunday generally cover the same weekly topic, so students can attend whichever works better or come to both for additional practice.

View upcoming group classes

Law School Application Support:

I also work with students once they transition from the LSAT into the application process. This can include personal statements, supplemental essays, résumé review, school-list and application strategy, LOCIs, and reviewing application materials as a whole.

Application support is offered à la carte, so you can get help with a particular part of your application or continue working with me throughout the process as needed.

Book a free consultation for law school application support

Not sure whether tutoring makes sense for you?

I also offer a free 15-minute consultation.

We can talk through your current score range, goal score, testing timeline, recent PT performance, study history, and what has been giving you trouble. I'll also explain how I would approach your preparation and what I would likely prioritize if we worked together.

You can book a free consultation, comment here, or message me with any questions.

Hi!

I have been scoring consistently 165 in practice tests, improving from a 164 and a 160, but i want to get better faster as I am taking the test in November, does anyone have any tips? I have a full time job, so it's hard to schedule time to study.

Writing this to see if anyone has any advice on tackling Link Assumption Questions. I take my LSAT in November, and this is one of my biggest weaknesses. YouTube does not have many videos on the subject for a deep understanding and I am struggling. There is also just the tag section on here but no detailed video or explanation.

Hi! For schools like Michigan, where you have the option of writing 2 essays, should one of them always be the why X? I have two essays I've written for other schools that would be easier to adapt and just use for their other prompts, but is writing the why x more important for schools that are yield conscious? Even if it means not giving them 1 of 2 other really strong essays?

This new update is absolutely brutal. It makes 7sage so nonuser friendly. Does anyone know if there is a way to go back to the layout from before this overhaul?

Thanks!

Looking for some people to study in Oahu - let me know if interested and I can set up a group chat <3

Hello. So basically, what the title says. I have been studying for over a year now (diagnostic was a 139), and a year ago I was PTing at 146. I completed the 7Sage curriculum, read the Loophole, read both LR and RC Powerscore Bibles, and have once again finished the 7Sage curriculum for the second time. The grand finale after all that... another 146 UNTIMED. I am so incredibly heartbroken. I only actually locked into this exam 3ish months ago after a friend also studying for the LSAT convinced me to finally take it in November to help get over my fear of the exam (I had been signing up and pushing it back/canceling for months). I even had a tutor during this time, and he didn't quite help as much as I had hoped. I was also keeping a wrong-answer journal for a short time, but I was getting so many questions wrong and not fully understanding the reasoning why that I got so irritated and stopped.

My most recent timed PT was a 144. I know at this point I have no choice but to retest-- probably in February. Honestly, I'm not sure if I have it in me to keep studying after November and humiliating myself like this. Honestly, I'm probably half-assing my studying compared to others, but I'm not sure what to do, or if I even want to continue this career. Nothing has stuck, I don't know how to effectively study because I've never had to (not that it's an excuse), I've never been good at exams, and this test is just an accumulation of all these things. I keep being told to stop thinking so negatively and that it's all in my head, but I think anyone with this experience would eventually reach this mentality. I don't necessarily want to switch career paths and give up, but I also don't know how much more I can take. I have the grades, LORs, work experience, and an awesome PS, but the only thing holding me back is just a number. I've had to lower my goal score from a 160, knowing that anything lower obviously wouldn't get me into my top school (GSU). What more can I do?

I apologize for the rant, but I just wanted to keep it real in case others were also struggling like this.

Please change the format of 7Sage back to what it used to be up until a few days ago :(
