Hello! I've been studying semi- consistently since Mid-Late May after I got my 160 diagnostic. Since then all my PTs have been around this range and my best one was 163. My goal is 168+ by the September LSAT and 172+ by October LSAT (Ideally 170+ by September). When I do study its usually for around 2 hours.

I have 2 questions:

1. Are my goal scores realistic?

2. What can I do to get there by the deadline?

Thank you guys in advance !

Hello! I've been studying for the LSAT for about 3 months, and the last month has been the most consistent (10-15 hours of studying a week). I started with a 156 diagnostic score on PT 158 in April. Since then, my score has only gotten worse. My most recent PT Score was a 151 with a 164 BR score. On drills, I'm getting consistently higher scores, and my confidence is increasing, but with my goal of a 172, I'm not sure if I'll make it by my current September Test date. The questions I have are: how many hours a week do I need to be studying to get my desired score? Do I need to push my test date back further? And any practice tips based on the info above?

Thanks!

Looking for a LR study buddy to meet on Monday and Wednesdays from 6-7:30 pm EST to review questions we missed and to "teach each other aloud." Ideally someone with ADHD would be great. We will assign homework that we need to have completed the day of the meeting. Looking for someone missing -2 to -5. Please message me or comment below if interested. Also looking for one person that is disciplined and dedicated!

I took the test in November of 2025 and got a 171, highest pt in the lead up was 176. Retaking for September; got a 171 last week on my first full pt since I started studying again in June. Today, I got a 166. I’m freaking out a bit— should I push to October?

Hey! I'm studying for the September LSAT right now. Since I'm trying to break from 170-171 to 175+ at this point, I know it's all about being extremely up front with myself about my mistakes. But I am always SO ANXIOUS after I finish a pt! I am DESPARATE to know how I did! Part of this is probably because I used to exclusively take PTs on LawHub, which doesn't let you blind review, so I got used to seeing my score immediately.

Basically, I have two questions:

1. How bad is it to "peek" at your score before blind reviewing? Just knowing the score, not knowing how I did on a given section?

2. Is there a way to turn off the thing that tells you why 7Sage circled an individual question for BR? I sometimes can't help but hover over the little pink "i" to see if it says "you answered this question incorrectly. I like that 7Sage circles things, but I would love if I didn't know why. If that's not possible, I'll just become more self-disciplined.

Any help would be appreciated!

I've been consistently PT-ing from 165-168 over the past few weeks. Any tips to break into 169/170? I'm just getting the tricky questions wrong now but they add up over the course of a few sections. Any input is appreciated!

justice for KJD students 🥺 I'm class of 2028 and can't set it to that

I panicked, but I'm honestly not upset about the 162. But I'd be lying if I said JJ Redick wasn't in my head screaming at me in the locker room

Hi! I'm scheduled to take the September test, and i'm currently just beginning timed practice (1 section a day, alternating days between LR and RC + blind review + reviewing wrong answers). I'm scoring in the low 150s with the timer and high 150s to 162 with BR - for both LR and RC. I'm wondering if anyone has any advice to break into the 160s, and whether i have enough time to get to a 160 by September?

i have been getting -4 on individual LR sections but this PT completely upended my expectations. I even got a couple of the "easy" questions wrong. how do i fix this?????? Did anyone else also find PT140 to be particularly difficult?

Hi my name is De'Angela! I just recently graduated from Texas Tech University and started studying for the LSAT in May. I plan on taking the exam in October. I study almost every day, and I would love to have a group of people to motivate each other on the hard days and meet up when we can for a review day to help each other out!

Let me know if you're interested! :)

I found out yesterday that I got accepted into my dream school with a scholarship. I am beyond thrilled and pleasantly surprised that I was accepted. I will be starting law school this fall in August!

I post this as a word of encouragement to those who may be doubting themselves at the moment. My LSAT journey was not easy but looking back I am so happy that I went through everything that I did.

With a diagnostic score of 133 I knew that my journey to law school would be difficult. I took my first LSAT in September of 2025 after studying for nearly a year. I did not score well at all and my plans to apply early were crushed. I was no longer confident that I would even get to attend law school.

I decided to get back on the saddle and change my study plan to 7 Sage from LSAT demon and studied since the September LSAT all the way to this past June. I signed up and took the LSAT again at the last minute in June. I knew it was a long shot because the one school I wanted to go to was accepting applications only through July 15th as my timeline was cutting it extremely close with classes starting in just a few weeks.

I performed much better on my June LSAT and I wearily submitted my application July 3rd. I found out yesterday that I got in!

I give all the glory and praise to God, and I give a special thanks to 7 Sage for helping me achieve my dreams.

Good luck to everyone! YOU CAN DO HARD THINGS.

I'm in Northern Colorado and would love a study group / study buddy for a fall LSAT. Goal is November 2026!

Looking for people applying this cycle who are down for 1-1 essay editting and working. Please PM me if interested

Left is 7Sage's tester and right is LawHub's tester:

My cold Diagnostic 2 summers ago was a 158 but I put the test down and didn't study until I finished undergrad this past May to focus on my GPA. Since graduation I have completed the 7sage core curriculum and done about 2 weeks worth of drills which included 3 timed sections (2LR and 1 RC). Todays test is definitely a performance at the top of my range since my drills have been averaging -3.75 per section but regardless I feel good about it especially considering two wifi interruptions. My question is this, with as much time to study as I need since im about to start a 2 year masters, what would be a good goal score to set for myself if I want to go to the best law school possible? Also, with my final UGPA of 3.92, what ranked schools should I start looking at as my targets reaches and safety's? Note: I have tier 2 and 3 softs as I was a highly ranked division 1 student athlete at an Ivy and server in local politics. Thanks!

Since the new interface and highlighting changes, my score on drills and sections has notably decreased. Eliminating or selecting an answer now requires an extra step to the mode toggle, which interrupts my reasoning rather than allowing immediate action, and highlighting now requires repeated clicks per selection instead of one continuous pass through the passage. The result is that the same reasoning work now takes measurably longer, which is counterintuitive given that this strictly timed exam is meant to measure reasoning ability.

At first, I was angry, but I find myself more confused and disappointed. Why would they try to fix something that's not broken, while throwing in obstacles along the way? It's simply unfair to 26-27 test-takers, and it's disappointing to see, especially from an organization designed to help us.

Am I the only one going through this? Does anyone else have any thoughts?

hey everyone!!

Quick question!

I finished my lessons on foundations and have moved on to logical reasoning section in my study plan. Im not sure if Im studying properly though...

During foundations I took notes and wrote down and then did the drills. However, since logical reasoning section doesn't really contain much information that I think I need to necessarily write down, what I do is I just practice all the questions on my own (even the ones that are uploaded just as a video I do the question first on my own and If I get the question wrong I watch the video lessons to see how it should've been solved and the methods used).

Does anybody else do it this way for this section on the study plan or do you guys have a different method to study/ am I doing it wrong?

Got a 168 on PT 157, but I just scored a 162 on PT 156. I knew the bebop RC killed me, and I definitely missed some LR gimmes, but how can I go about eliminating this level of variance when it comes to the actual August exam? Any tips/advice appreciated.

Looking for tips regarding a significant area holding me back. I feel like I have a pretty good understanding of Conditional Reasoning, and when I drill questions untimed or on Blind Review I almost always get 100%. Then in timed conditions, I can't achieve even close to those results. I feel like the only way I can answer these questions is with an abundance of time. What has worked for people in this situation? I usually diagram, but again--that leaves even less time. Would love any and all tips.

Hey all,

not one to write anything in the discussion but seeing if anyone else has experienced this and any advice to get over the hump.

I receently "graduated" phase 1 of untimed and have been doing timed drills of 10 or so questions and have been scoring consistently decent, however, I feel when I do a full LR section I am still scoring quite low - wondering if anyone has any advice as I feel I am progressing on the drills and feel it but dont feel as great taking a section.

This is only my second PT I've ever taken and I'm taking my first test in August (welp - it's grind time!), but I'm super excited about how much I've improved in LR!

I am planning to take the exam in August, September, October, and November (I am for sure applying to schools this year, hence the back-to-back tests), and my goal is to get a 166-168 on the actual test now.

I definitely need to work on timing for RC, though. I had ~3 minutes for the last section and completely guessed by barely skimming the passages. Any tips for budgeting time on RC? I also recently finished the RC core curriculum and have spent no time practicing RC passages so that is probably a good start.
