Hi I'm looking for a study group/ friends to study with, in person, in San Diego! I love studying at libraries or coffee shops!! let me know if you're interested!!
Hi all! Do you guys typically watch the lessons in order, or do you watch them based on what you want help on? I'm about 28% through foundations and while I feel the information is valuable, I can't help but feel I want to jump straight into the LR or RC lessons. What do you guys typically do and what works for you?
I am writing this in an attempt to help someone studying/taking the LSAT. Scored 154 in November, started lightly studying again in December and took the January LSAT and scored 149. Stopped studying. In April, I decided to take the June LSAT, leaving two months to study. Scored a 161. Some advice:
Beginning Stages
Don't spend large amounts of money on test preparation courses. I bought a course and made the mistake of extending it. To get the foundations of the LSAT, go to LawHub, review the Lessons, take notes. The issue with test preparation courses is that they can be generic and categorize certain concepts differently than LSAC.
Taking 3-4 months to build a foundation is a good start.
Take the Drill Sets and Additional Practice offered in LawHub (some offer explanations).
Practice
Keep an error log. Originally, this looked like an Excel spreadsheet where I broke down which question types I was getting wrong. I reviewed which were the most common question types I was missing and then put them in a Drill Set in 7sage. Difficulty level was Medium, Harder. I needed to be uncomfortable by being consistently wrong and would reference my notes to expand on areas that needed to improve.
Error log transitioned from an Excel spreadsheet to a doc. Would screenshot the passage and answer choices and write out why I chose the answer that I chose, what part of the passage was missed, and impressions of the other answer choices. The error log was organized based on question type.

If you are having difficulty with the LSAT, that is a good thing, it means you are learning in some capacity. Some approaches to questions will not be automatic, keep an open mind and sometimes resist your natural inclination towards a specific answer type. Practice whenever you can, I cannot emphasize this enough. Good luck on your process.
We released two new games to train RC microskills:
Think about the purpose of statements as you re-arrange jumbled paragraphs into an order that makes sense.
Practice being specific about what words like it, such, and this refer to.
We're collecting feedback and will improve these games based on it. So far we've seen a lot of calls for more content within specific games to make them more replayable, more difficulty, persistent records for high scores and ability to review past gameplay. We've also seen calls for more games training conditional logic translations and RC skills. Keep the feedback coming.
Hi, I'm Nick! I work primarily with students who feel stuck despite doing a lot of practice and who need a clearer system for understanding why they’re missing questions.
I went from 158 --> 178 in 4 months by learning how to diagnose my mistakes and change how I approached the test. I now work with students using that same approach, focusing on underlying reasoning issues that lead to fast, durable score improvements. I’m a good fit for students who want structured feedback and are willing to think carefully about their mistakes—not just do more questions.
You can find more about my tutoring philosophy and availability on my website. Happy to answer any questions!
Now you can change any study day to a rest day or vice versa, so that as your plans change, your study schedule can change too.
Try it on your study plan today!

I'm struggling with the application of SA because for me- the word "sufficient" denotes- just barely enough..."suffice it to say" for example...when ACTUALLY the meaning is stronger.
How would you explain this concept to me in a more basic way not using the word "sufficient."? Is "trigger" correct? Conclusion enforcer? Powerful premise?
Thank you!
Hi! I need some advice on what dates I should register for. I started studying about a month ago and am looking to register for either a September or October testing day so that I can send in applications by the end of October. Should I...
1) register for the September date (less time to study, more time to work on app)
2) register for the October date
or 3) sign up for both, take the first one, and decide once scores come out if I need to take the other one
I understand that there is a high price for registering so I am hesitant to sign up for both but I do also feel like its a smart choice conceptually. Considering I have only taken the test one other time, I know I have more opportunities to take the test but it's so scary knowing I have a finite number of chances.
Any advice or additional considerations would be greatly appreciated!
When I'm doing a timed section, if I pause the timer, I often forget to unpause it when I continue. This can mess up an entire practice test! I really liked how the UI would hide/blur the question when paused. At least give us the option to toggle this on/off.
Ok, I just realized that when I was clicking the timer, it just hid the countdown, it didn't actually pause it and I can pause it by opening the menu and clicking the pause button. It's kind of scary how long it took me to realize that clicking the timer wasn't actually pausing the timer. This is a really unintuitive UX. Are we allergic to words with modern design these days? Something like "hide countdown" would have made it clear what was going on
I love the study plan and how it adapts to my performance. One addition I'd find valuable: dedicated "Test Day" and "Review Day" types. I take a PT every Saturday and review it every Sunday, but right now the only way to block those days off is to mark them as rest days, which doesn't reflect what's actually happening and probably throws off the adaptive scheduling around them.
I have a few quick questions about the LSAC GPA. Hopefully someone can help :)
I ended up undergrad with a 3.84 from my institution. My school only did A, B, or C, etc without the + or -.
I had 33 straight up A's and then 7 B's. The only other differences are some summer classes that I took from a different institution that come just as credits, not grades. Will that hurt my LSAC GPA?
I have one class that I dropped a week into the semester and it just has a "W" next to it. I didn't fail it or spend any time in it. My academic counselor just thought I needed to take it but I did not.
Hopefully this makes sense! Already struggling on the GPA side so I am hoping that LSAC does not destroy me.
UPDATE - I calculated my LSAC GPA and it's a 3.85.
Every time that I updated a grade to an A+, it made my GPA go up. You're telling me that if you just went to a school that offered A+ that it would boost your GPA that much? What a scam...

So I took the LSAT in June and didn't get the score I wanted. I can do consistently well on LR (missing maybe 1-3 each section), but then I absolutely goof every RC section (missing as many as 10-12 questions per section). I only joined 7sage a few weeks ago when I got my scores and I'm planning on retaking in September. Until now, I've studied completely on my own using Lawhub advantage.
So in y'all's experience, have you been able to see consistent improvement in your RC sections through 7sage?
Studying on my own, I think I actually declined in my RC scores which has got me feeling bummed, but I just need to know if there's hope for improvement.
my AI coach keeps giving me the response "Sorry, something went wrong while generating a response." I keep trying to reload the page or exit out but it doesn't seem to be working...
Is anyone else encountering the AI coach crashing and saying: "Sorry, something went wrong while generating a response." If so how can I fix this issue? Thanks!
Is there a way to customize RC Drills to filter for passages where I answered multiple questions wrong? I know there is an "Incorrect Ever" filter, but I think this would include passages where I only got one answer wrong. I'd like to be able to revisit passages that I had a particularly difficult time with when I first started studying in order to see how my RC has improved.
Hello, I was wondering if there would be Office Hours for this month? I'm not seeing them under the Live Classes, but want to make sure if that's an error on my part. Thanks!
I started my prep earlier this year with not a lot of hours per week due to school, work and internships. I took a diagnostic in April and got a 151. I've been prepping more this summer and took another diagnostic last week. Which only went up to a 152. My goal is 160-165 and I'm taking it in August. Basically, I have a month, I'm honestly losing hope if it is possible. I'm in between two choices, grind as much as I can before August, or take the September test instead. I'm hoping to have all my applications submitted by Thanksgiving.
If anyone is in the same boat or may have any advice, it'll be greatly appreciated.
Hi! I just want to reserve a special thank you to tutors Rahela, Clayton, and James. I improved my score by 16 points and got into the high 160's on my LSAT score and couldn't have done it without them and their assistance. I love 7Sage and would recommend it to anyone hoping to get into law school.
Hey guys! I recently finished the RC module and now I'm on to practice. My question is what exactly should I be doing now? Ive been doing some drilling and following my study plan for the past few days but I feel like I should be doing more. I know I should be taking PTs but I'm not sure when I should start. Should I start taking them now, later, how often, timed, untimed? Should I be drilling alongside them? Should I just keep following my study plan? Also if I take a PT and don't get around the score I want should I be worried about this considering I finished the entire core curriculum? Any advice is greatly appreciated!
Anyone else's AI coach down or is it just me?
Edit: It's back now
hi guys! if anyone wants to join a study group in chicago we could meet up at some coffee shops to study and exchange notes/tips!! if you like fun coffee shops this could be a fun idea!
This has been one of the best features to date! I know that studying for the LSAT is a very unique/ personal process for everyone. I find that it gives a pretty fair analysis, takes critique well, and gives a bit of direction.
HOWEVER, I've noticed that after using it for a little while, it starts to really lag. Is there a way to preserve the valuable history without the increasing time sink of lag processing?
My only other gripe is that I've noticed that it's missed things in analysis before. I feel good about catching them, but I'd like it to be a bit more thorough as dev continues to build on this function. Many thanks!
