Im starting back up after taking August LSAT. I was 6 points below my PTs little dissapointed but I knew i was gonna have to take it again. So should I start back with lessons or go right back to drilling? I scored a 155 but was PTing low 160s.

Hi hi. I took the test twice last year in Oct and Nov, and got a 159 and a 158. I took a year to study and did the August test and got a 160 today — my PTs were in the 167 range. I was so crushed this morning, it was rough. I’m taking it again in Sept, very nervous. I’ve been trying to do everything recommended for anxiety (I meditated, got a therapist, etc) and I felt okay on test day, so this lower score feels like such a setback considering I felt less panicked than last time. I also have a tutor and I have been using 7Sage after moving from Blueprint so I feel double the set back in a way. Anyone have any recommendations on how to combat test-day anxiety and just overall disappointment + recommendations on next steps? Thanks!

I haven’t studied since the August test and the Sept test would be ideally the final time I have to take it.

This is my first PT.

I struggled mostly with time and with RC.

Is it realistic to think that I could reach the 170+ by October 7th test day?

I plan on studying for 4h every day until test day.

Hi! I recently received a fee waiver from LSAC. yay! Am I able to backdate payments on7Sage using 7Sage's fee waiver platform? This would be a huge help!

Hello! My name is Greg, and I specialize in personalized LSAT tutoring tailored to each student’s unique needs and learning style. Since 2020, I’ve helped multiple students achieve perfect 180 scores and guided dozens more into the 170s through an adaptable, supportive, and results-driven approach. Admitted to the bar in 2025, I also provide guidance beyond the LSAT, including law school admissions strategy, school selection, and application navigation.

Outside of tutoring and law, I enjoy hiking, biking, skiing, and playing chess. I believe balance is an important part of success, and I encourage students to build sustainable study habits alongside their academic goals.

My accolades are above, but here's a few more: students of mine have gone on to break into the 170's, and have been accepted to Colombia, The University of Chicago, Stanford, and Harvard.

I was where you are now: I had a test to crush and a gulf between my skills and achieving that T-14 goal score. Well, I did what any person would do who didn't know what they were doing; I went searching for advice from people who had already achieved success. I read for hours and hours, the accounts of people who had received perfect and near perfect scores. Their advice had a very few common threads:

-Find a major prep company and completely work through all of their strategy lessons and drills

-Take many sections and tests both in untimed and timed formats

-Blind review all timed tests (taking them again entirely without a timer)

-Carefully dissect all incorrectly answered questions

At the time, the LSAT was still on paper and so explanations for LSAT questions were scarce. This was to my benefit and it can be to yours as well. That means relying on the explanations of 7Sage should only be done after you've exhausted considerable effort trying to dissect the questions yourself, given the correct answer. If 7Sage's explanation doesn't make sense or you are curious to hear a question explained in a different way, well that's what a tutor is for! I'll add just one bit advice to that which I found in my research: learn and understand any vocab word related to argumentation that the LSAT uses, which you are unfamiliar with.

If you'd like a tutor to help you through the rough patches and plateaus, I'm eager to join you where you're at on your LSAT journey. I use an "I do, we do, you do" approach to new materials. I'll model the appropriate techniques, whether that means stem analysis, argument analysis, passage annotation, answer prediction, answer choice selection, or trap answer analysis. From there I'll check to see if you've got the basics and ask you to take the next step at various points. Then it will be your job to walk us through an example. Finally, I'll only observe as you begin a new example and work through it beginning to end, giving my analysis or commentary at the end.

Sessions are typically two hours, once or twice a week depending on availability and the student's timeline. We'll often spend the first third/half of the session reviewing any questions that have been flagged for review by you. From there we'll jump into new materials.

My hourly rate changes based on whether you buy a package of hours or seek to pay session by session. It is as follows:

20 hour package - $70/hr

10 hour package - $80/hr

Session by session - $90h

Got my lowest score ever for August release day even including my practice tests idk what happened. Any tips for me retaking in October especially now working 8-5 all day unlike the summer when I had time. Cannot believe it to be honest. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Hey guys!

I finally started studying for the LSAT today! I’m hoping to attend law school in Fall 2027, but I’m honestly feeling a little overwhelmed and worried that I’m starting too late to give myself the best chance of getting into the schools I want.

I’m a first-generation college student and aspiring first-gen law student, so I’m trying to figure out this entire process on my own while working a 9–5. I just started using 7Sage today, and I’m trying to figure out whether I should aim to take my first LSAT in November or January.

For those of you who have been through this process, what would you recommend? Would taking the January LSAT put me at a disadvantage for Fall 2027 admissions or scholarships, or would it be better to give myself more time to properly prepare?

I’d also really appreciate any advice for first-gen students navigating the law school application process or anything you wish someone had told you before starting this journey!

Thank you!!

I just recently took the August test for the first time. I am looking for someone to tutor me for the upcoming October test.

I would like to meet at least twice a week if possible.

My target score goal is: 160-170

Please send any information my way or links for consultations and prices.

I applied for an LSAC fee waiver and I'm trying to figure out roughly how long it usually takes to hear back. If anyone has gone through this recently, I'd appreciate knowing what your timeline looked like.

Separately, my LawHub subscription is set to expire in 5-7 days. I still don't have a decision on the fee waiver yet, so I'm not sure if I'll be able to renew it in time. Does anyone know if 7Sage charges you or freezes your account if your LawHub subscription lapses while you're still using the platform? I want to know if I need to do anything on my end before it expires, or if there's a grace period.

Thanks in advance for any info.

I took the August LSAT for the first time and scored lower than I wanted, so I'm planning to take again in October. However, I've taken nearly all the practice tests on 7 sage. How should I pace my PTs over the course of the next month?

I have been studying for about 6 months, went from a 153 diagnostic to a 168 preptest before the August test. I scored a 160 in April and then a 161 in august and I'm just at a loss for how little it feels like all the work I've put in has materialized in the official test. Feeling completely dejected as I'm only applying to NYC schools where I live and this doesn't really cut it for most schools here. I'm also blind reviewing around 179-180 on most prep tests.

I am a reapplicant this cycle, after an unfavorable outcome last cycle due to a very low LSAT score (140's), and am wondering about my personal statement. I am applying again to the same schools I got denied/ WL from, and do not know whether or not I should change my personal statement, or just revamp what I already have.

The personal statement that I submitted last year dealt with a very specific part of my undergraduate experience, and now that I have graduated and am taking a gap year, I do not know if I have to change it, or if it still could apply post graduate. I want to maximize my chances of getting into the schools I want, but I also do not want to have to go completely back to the drawing board. Any advice or help?

Thanks everyone!

Hi guys! Looking for a study group to either sit together and hold each other accountable or group practice drills. Please let me know if interested. My schedule is flexible.

Five point score improvement. May take again because why not but in disbelief at my score. Which is basically now way beyond the 75th at any school I'd be interested in. Didn't even feel too hot coming out of the test.

For the record, I hated diagramming and conditional logic the entire time but still went way beyond my expectations. We are all gonna make it.

I have hovered around the 159-165 mark for so long now. I need to change something in my habits. I just got a 161 again on August, same exact score I received in June. I have two weeks until Sept. What should I adapt my study style to look like? Consistently -6 on LR and about -7 on RC but it varies wildly.

The law school admissions process can present a tremendous burden for many students, including those who do not recieve an LSAC fee waiver. I think that a way to track application fees, CAS fees, and application fee/CAS report fee waivers would be a very useful feature for many 7Sage users.

A user could toggle on the "Application Costs" option and see each school's application fee. It would be incredibly useful if 7Sage could compile information on each school's waiver system (for example, Georgetown has a merit-based waiver application or Duke often sends out unsolicited offers). Whatever information 7Sage can access could be shared with students to help them lower their application costs.

Then, a user could input any fee waivers that they are issued (and the code that they're given, if applicable, so they always have access to it) and the cost could be subtracted from their "Total Application Cost" at the bottom of the page.

Currently, I do this exact thing in a Google Spreadsheet. However, the ability to do everything in 7Sage would be very useful.

Hello!

I'm sure like many other people, I'm not very happy with my LSAT score. I was averaging around mid to high 150's on my PTs, and my official score was way below all my PTs. I was expecting my official score to drop below my average but I did not expect this. I'm registered for the October exam, but I'm not even sure if that's the right move at this point. For added context, I am a senior in college and I'm currently working with a tutor in preparation for October, but again, I'm not sure that I'll be ready or able to hit my average or even my target. Would November be a better option at this point or should I look at other options such as potentially taking a gap year? Any advice is appreciated!

Has anyone experienced a very large score drop compared to normal PTs? I dropped about 12ish points, almost close to my diagnostic score from almost a year ago. I know for sure I did poorly walking out of the test room but I did not know it would be this bad.

Although I felt calm, my brain foggier than usual, room was rather cold, and i guessed on more questions than i usually do (I usually guess / leave to chance 1-2 per section, this time i left about 4 per section).

I don't know if it was because of finally testing in a room with other people, the cold, the exhausting week I had before, or whatever, though it is likely a combination of them all.

Before going into this, I was actually banking on better testing performance than my practices, which is how my SATs went.

I just began studying for the January 2027 LSAT, and I am confused on how to balance drilling with spoiling otherwise fresh PTs.

I am currently going through Dragon Test Prep Consulting LR/RC perfection books and with a full length PT every week. While I understand that there is an obvious benefit to drilling specific question types, and want to supplement my reading of these books with said drilling, I am confused as to how to go about making sure I don't burn through a ton of Q's that would otherwise be fresh on a PT. I feel like full-length PTs will be the most effective way to truly prepare for the LSAT, and want to have a good gauge of where I truly am, which I feel like would be hard if I am taking PTs with Q's I've already seen.

What should I do? Only drill with Q's I've already seem? Dedicate a couple of tests to be for drilling only? Just go willy nilly and drill my heart out? Open to any suggestions

Hello! Can someone please explain what is the purpose of this "Keyboard highlight" feature in the new LSAT format? I don't understand the difference between this and the regular highlight that I can do on my mouse.

Thanks!
