Looking for a tutor to try and improve my score from 149 from my first attempt to something better. This would be my second time taking the lsat. The first time I didn’t use 7Sage a

Is it really worth it? I feel like it's so long and very time consuming but I have heard doing the curriculum can really help raise your score. I need advice on how to properly use 7sage, I had a tutor and I liked the way all my days were planned out? Anyway have a schedule they can share.

Last weekend I scored my best so far on a full practice test! I am registered for the LSAT in August, and feel like I am hitting my "peak" around the right time. Any advice? I am planning on taking a full test for the next 3 weekends until test day.

At Harvard, 21% of undergraduates received disability accommodations last year, an increase of more than 15% over the past decade, according to data published by the National Center for Education Statistics analyzed by the Harvard Crimson. Top schools like Brown, Cornell, and Yale reported similar numbers, roughly in line with national trends. But the increase is more pronounced at other institutions: 34% of students at Amherst College and 38% at Stanford are registered as disabled, according to The Atlantic

Experts note that many students have medical conditions that merit accommodations, and the increase is in part linked to broader access to mental-health care and reduced stigma around seeking support.

The rise has nonetheless drawn national attention, with some critics arguing that students are abusing the system to secure lighter workloads or an edge in hypercompetitive classrooms.

I was wondering if anyone has found a reliable method to approaching Strengthen/Weaken questions? It is the only LR question type that I cannot seem to grasp 100%.

Hi everyone,

I have finished the 7Sage curriculum and am starting to practice over the next few months before taking the LSAT in October.

I was wondering if anyone could recommend a wrong-answer journal that has significantly helped them track their mistakes and improve their score. I know 7Sage has a Notes section, but I'm looking for something more detailed and independent.

I'd really appreciate any recommendations or insights. Thank you!!

I would like to get insight into a dilemma I'm currently having. To preface, I'm horrible at standardized tests. In November of 2025 I took the LSAT after self-studying and got a 149. Then hired Kaplan, and took the LSAT again in April 2026, and scored a 156. More context: I get massive test anxiety and constantly rethink my answers on the test, even with the tips from Kaplan.

I was originally planning on applying for Fall 2027 law school, but I'm not too sure if my score can get me into the right school I'd like. Right now, I'm looking to go into big law of some sort, and I know many of the bigger firms recruit from bigger law schools. I also don't know how much scholarship I would get if I applied to a school above the median of my score (so, schools with a 157-159 median), and what my chances are at schools above my median. My undergrad GPA was a 3.82, which is in line with schools' medians LSAT around 164. My master's degree I got a 3.70, but I have heard schools only look at undergrad GPA. I am currently working in a big law firm right now, and can be here for 1-2 years, but I'd like to go to law school sooner than later and get this degree.

I haven't looked at LSAT stuff since my test in April, so if I were to retake it, I would probably take it in October? I also just don't know how much my score can go up from the 156. Will schools see the original jump from 149-156 and see that as a good thing alongside my GPA? Does that boost my chances at a law school with a slightly higher median? Or should I just hire an admissions consultant to really make other parts of my application shine (i.e. the essays)? Moral of the story, I don't really want to take this test again, but if I have to, I will. I just want to make sure the score actually goes up rather than down.

Willing to hear all opinions!!

Hi y'all! I have been studying for a couple of months, and have found it difficult to make measurable improvements in my scores (for reference, my diagnostic was a 168 and my scores are around that average). I keep seeing advice centered on doing deep review, dissecting your mistakes and understanding WHY you got the answer wrong. However, my process doesn't seem to be making me any better at applying what I learn in review on the next test.

Does anyone have any tips how to ACTUALLY do the review process properly?

1

I typed this as a reply to someone who asked about the value of BR, and figured I'd put it out here too. Let me know if it helps, or if there are things I could do to improve! For some extra context, I'm 27, studying while working full time. 170 average, trending to 174, test in Sep.

Detail on my exact review process below, but here's the core idea: your goal is to answer every question correctly and under time during the actual test, since you're fighting the clock as much as the questions themselves. A recommended BR question almost always means you missed that goal somewhere, whether you got it wrong, weren't confident, or were just too slow, so being quick and accurate enough to leave yourself time to return to flagged questions and BR them live on test day is what actually converts extra time into points. Review exists to figure out why you missed the mark on a given question so you don't miss it for the same reason again, and while you won't hit this goal on every question, a 170 is achievable if you keep pursuing it.

1. Blind Review

Reanswer each question first. Why each category matters:

  • Incorrect: self-explanatory.

  • Flagged: You weren't confident/didn't answer on your first pass. Flagging and revisiting a few questions is fine, but each flag costs you time at the end that you may not have.

  • Changed answer: you landed on the right answer, but your first instinct was wrong. That's a gap to close, and it burns time.

  • Spent too long: right answer, but too slow. Needs to get faster.

  • Answered too quickly: rare, low value to review, but quick enough that it's not worth skipping.

2. After BR

I log question numbers by category (writing it down as clicking in and out of the section for this info is annoying):

  • Wrong answer either timed or BR: marked with an x (1x means missed Q1). I read/watch the explanation, then write in the 7Sage notes thing why I got it wrong, what I missed, what confused me etc. I rarely revisit these notes, but writing them helps focus the lesson/gap.

  • Spent over +30 seconds: marked with a T. I review as needed to figure out why it took too long, and leave a short note on how to improve timing

  • Flagged: quick pass only, I dig deeper on maybe 25% of these.

3. After the study session

I write down 1-2 recurring mistakes and reread the list before every session. This surfaces patterns you keep repeating, usually simple fixes that just need reinforcing.

Example: "With two close answers, proactively break each into pieces and test against the prompt/passage." I noticed I was picking the wrong one of two finalists because I skipped this step. Once I focused on it, that specific weakness improved.

Hi,

So for context, I'm in my 30s, I graduated in 2014 with a not so stellar GPA because of a lot of family and mental health issues. Later on in life I did get my paralegal certificate and I've been a paralegal ever since so I have a ton of legal and work experience. I tried applying to law school before but it seems like some of the top schools really wanted some academic references which I obviously don't have like 10 years after graduating. So I kind of rehauled my education. I got a second bachelors and I am getting a masters degree right now.

My second bachelors GPA is amazing, close to 4.0. Will law schools care about this? Will it get reported in CAS/LSAC?

Will they care about my masters if I do well?

I am hoping to get strong professor LORs AND one from my law firm.

I am aiming to prove that I AM GOOD at academics now, and when I was 18-22 I had a lot going on and it's representative of who I am NOW. What's the best way to flash these neon lights to law schools to make them notice without just filtering me out based on the number in CAS/LSAC?

Also, obviously aiming for whatever highest score the LSAT Goddess is going to bestow upon me!

Hi all!

I'm looking to take the LSAT in the October or November and am aiming for anywhere between 170-175. My latest official score was a 166, so preferably looking for people within this same range and with a similar goal score in mind. I'm currently studying in the mornings from about 7:30-12:30, but I am flexible after 5:30p.m. as well! I would love to go through questions, review them, discuss strategy, and possibly assign each other homework, etc. Reading Comp is where I need to improve the most, so hoping to knock my RC sections down to a -2/-3 (right now they are around the -6 range). Feel free to join below. Thank you!

I don't know if it's just me, but ever since the new Reading Comprehension highlight update, every time I highlight something, the page automatically scrolls up. For example, when I scroll down to highlight a sentence and then try to keep reading, it jumps back up on its own. It's really annoying because it won't stay where I scrolled. Is anyone else having this issue, or is there a way to fix it?

I've been subscribed to 7Sage for at least six months. I'm starting to run out of actually new reading comprehension passages, and I was wondering if anybody else has been running into this issue? When I select fresh on a drill, it says I don't have enough passages to fulfil this requirement. I'm confused about how this can be because I find it hard to believe that I have done all of the available Reading Comprehension passages, especially since I know that I still have more practice tests on LawHub that I have not yet taken, and I'm also not running out of LR despite training sections of that just as frequently.

I was recently diagnosed with ADHD a few months ago, and I'm still figuring out what works best for me. For those of you who also have ADHD, what study strategies or schedules have helped you make progress without feeling cognitive overload or losing focus? I'd really appreciate any tips or routines that have worked for you.

Hi,

I accidentally submitted my test before completing my blind review, and I’d love the option to go back and complete it afterward so I can compare my untimed answers with my timed results and see whether my answer patterns are consistent.

Is there any way to do this after a test has already been submitted?

Thank you!

Question regarding addendum

My Bachelors undergrad GPA is a 3.81, with my final semester being a 4.0, but my cumulative is much lower because when I first started college (to get my associates degree) it was at the outbreak of COVID + my living situation was not the best and my grades suffered. Should I be worried about this as it was now 6 years ago and since then I have been constantly getting presidential's list, etc.? Is this something I should write an addendum for? I feel since I have consistently gotten dean's and presidential lists since, then those alone show that I am a good student, but is it still important to write an addendum to explain the difficult situation I was in? SHOULD I RETAKE SOME OF THE COURSES I HAVE LOWER GRADES IN FROM 6 YEARS AGO?
