Hey!

I'm looking to start or join an in-person study group in Portland, OR. I'd love to meet once or twice a week for study sessions and general accountability. I took the LSAT last fall and scored a 163. I'm taking it again in September and hope to break 170.

I've had a hard time staying motivated to study while balancing a 9 to 5, but it's seriously time to lock in! If anyone is interested in studying together or starting a group, feel free to reach out :)

Hi there, I have a couple questions about PT104.S2.P2 on medieval guilds. Many thanks in advance for your help!

Question 2: According to the passage, which one of the following statements about law courts in medieval England is true?

I initially leaned toward A: Some English lawyers who practiced in civil courts also practiced in church courts, but others served exclusively in one court or the other.

However, I doubted it because I thought that, on the LSAT, “some” can be inclusive of all. The portion of the passage that would support this answer choices states: 

 The alternative inference, namely, that ecclesiastical advocates were less prone to ethical lapses than their counterparts in the civil courts, seems inherently weak, especially since there was some overlap of personnel between the civil bar and the ecclesiastical bar.

By stating there was “some overlap of personnel,” I assumed that it could mean anything from one person to every person who overlapped. Therefore, I did not feel confident selecting: “Some English lawyers who practiced in civil courts also practiced in church courts, but others served exclusively in one court or the other” because I didn’t feel I could support conclusively the claim that others served exclusively in one court or the other. Am I missing something? 

Question 7: The passage suggests that which one of the following is most likely to have been true of medieval guilds?

I chose D: Medieval guilds found it difficult to enforce discipline among their members.

The explanation states: Anti-supported. We know that “other guilds” (besides canon lawyer associations) “often did [play a role in enforcing standards of conduct].

However, I am a bit confused because in the first paragraph of the passage, the author states: Advocates' professional organizations showed little fervor for disciplining their erring members. Some even attempted to hobble efforts at enforcement. The Florentine guild of lawyers, for example, forbade its members to play any role in disciplinary proceedings against other guild members.

By referencing the Florentine guild of lawyers, I thought they were providing an example of those professional associations that, as described in paragraph two, “were so inefficient that most delinquents escaped detection and punishment.” The author then goes on to argue that this hypothesis/characterization is more likely correct than the alternative posed. 

Perhaps I’m just mixing up guilds versus professional associations? 

Hello LSAT Travelers!

My name is Dr. Lars Enden. I used to be a professor of philosophy and logic. I did that for about 20 years. But now, I am an LSAT tutor, and I have been doing this full-time for over 3 years.

The purpose of this group, is to offer a space where you can ask a professional logic professor (that's me!) anything you want. So, come to a session with a topic or a question that you want to discuss. It can be anything LSAT related (even RC, which is mostly logic anyway!) and I will do my best to help you with it. For Free!

The group will meet every Wednesday 2 - 3:30 pm Eastern / 11 am - 12:30 pm Pacific. I hope to see you then!

And, of course, if you are looking for a tutor, check out my post in the tutoring marketplace!

Hi everyone! I’ll be hosting a free Logical Reasoning class tonight focused on Parallel and Parallel Flaw questions, specifically reviewing a technique called “Conclusion Matching.”

I taught this strategy last week and received a lot of positive feedback from students who found it extremely helpful.

Full transparency: I am an LSAT tutor, but I host free weekly classes that are open to everyone with absolutely no obligation to work with me 1-on-1.

If you’re free tonight, I’d love to see you there!

Thank you 7Sage, this feature is fire! 🔥

Hi everyone.

Please help me understand why we do blind review. I have tried to do them a few times and if I remember correctly, the questions were circled red that I had answered correctly. So are we supposed to be baited into choosing a wrong answer after choosing the right one initially? Please let me know the purpose and how they are supposed to work. Thank you.

Hey everyone :)

I’m looking for a consistent LSAT study buddy (or a very small study group — ideally 2–4 people max) for the September LSAT.

My recent PT average is around 160, with my highest being a 165. My goal is to break into the 170–175 range, and I’d love to find people in a somewhat similar score range who are serious about improving and staying accountable.

I study around 2–4 hours a day and would be down for:

• silent study sessions/accountability calls

• reviewing questions together

• occasional drills/PT breakdowns

• or honestly just suffering through RC passages together in solidarity

I’m located just outside the GTA/Toronto area, so I’d be happy to study either online or potentially in person if you’re nearby. I’m on Eastern Time and usually prefer studying earlier in the day because that’s when my brain functions most like a human being, but I’m pretty flexible overall.

My strengths are mostly Necessary Assumption/Sufficient Assumption questions. My weaker areas are flaws and RC (RC currently feels like a personal attack, but we move).

A little context: I already took the LSAT once and applied last cycle, but my score wasn’t where I needed it to be for the schools I wanted. Retaking while trying to stay motivated has honestly been harder than I expected, so I figured I’d shoot my shot here instead of studying alone and slowly losing my mind.

If anyone’s interested — or if you have tips for staying disciplined/motivated during a retake cycle — feel free to message me on here and we can connect outside the app :)

Hi all.

I have some contradictory info on how to tackle RC, at least with jargon-heavy medical passages, so I need advice.

First, generally, I enjoy RC because the passages are interesting, science in particular. And I try to apply the method: being aware of the tone, structure, viewpoints and such. But medical passages with upwards of 5 unfamiliar terms are a lost cause: I can't remember what I read because I don't understand anything and even if I try to simplify it by assigning letters to each term I still can't remember it because there's too many terms that I don't understand. So the "careful reading" advice doesn't work for me here. I can read something in another language carefully but I still won't understand it because it's in a foreign language.

When I try to simply scan over the jargon and remember where stuff is so I can go back to it, and I use elimination, I get an average of 1-2 wrong answers on 7-8 questions untimed, but timed is a disaster.

Does any of you who have my problem have a strategy you have developed to score high when timed, without actually understanding anything? 😂 Do tell. 😊

Hi everyone! Im realizing that im struggling quite a bit with RC. ive gone through the core curriculum and read and watched videos, so im familiar with the typical strategies employed when doing RC but I cant seem to actually implement it. when the passage is more difficult, i find it really hard to focus on the structure and whos arguing what. also, im not sure if its just me, but i dont feel like low res summaries really help me, they just eat up my time. any advice would be great, thank you!

Need to do this ASAP, but can't seem to do this at all. I'm getting to all the questions but no time left over to go back to them. No discernible patterns (at all) in what I'm getting wrong.

Hello !!

I am looking for study and accountability partners. This can be virtual or in person! My target date is August / September. If interested, please let me know.

Hello! I am looking for private, virtual tutoring from June-August. I am signed up to take the June LSAT but already know I will be retaking it in August to try to get my best score. I am currently PTing at 159, and my goal score is a 165 for August. I have already completed most of the lesson library here on 7sage and have taken 5-7 PTs total between March and now.

I am having a hard time breaking into the 160s, but I am really committed to getting at least a 165 in August and am able to put a lot of time into it this summer. It would be most beneficial for me to walk through my PTs after taking them, review them, and have a unique perspective that can hopefully get me to that goal score.

In terms of pricing, I am hoping for budget-friendly options and ideally a first free session to see if we are a good fit!

Thank you!

Hi y’all! I’ve had a 7Sage account for a while but only recently started looking into it seriously. I’ve taken the LSAT three times, with my highest score being 140. I used Princeton Review before, took a break from studying, and now I’m working with a tutor who uses a separate platform.

Lately, though, I feel completely burnt out. I work full time, try to study after work and on weekends, but I’ve been dealing with stress at home and I’ve really lost my discipline. My recent prep test score dropped, and honestly it hit me pretty hard.

I spoke with a law student who said 7Sage helped her a lot, especially with structure and understanding the test. The problem is I’ve already spent so much on tutoring, and my tutor wants me taking a prep test every week, which is starting to feel exhausting and unsustainable for me.

Now I’m debating whether I should invest in 7Sage, stick to the free resources for now, or just keep going with my tutor. I’m also really interested in study groups and accountability because I think consistency is my biggest struggle right now. The 7Sage package with accountability emails definitely caught my attention.

I haven’t lost hope but I’m also aiming for 160 -166 is this possible for me?

For anyone who’s used 7Sage or struggled with burnout, distractions, or discipline while working full time — what helped you? Any advice on realistic study plans, staying consistent, or avoiding burnout would mean a lot. I’m all ears, thank you!

I started really studying in March, and I just finished all of the lessons that 7Sage creates for you. My diagnostic was a 144 in January with no studying, and I am taking August. Do you think I should do a practice block drill first or should I take a test and see how much I have improved from just the lessons alone?

It’s hard because I have kind of a busy schedule. There was some weeks where I couldn’t study for multiple days at a time and some days where I did multiple days at once to try to balance it out. Doing the practice blocks I probably will not finish them all within the week like suggested. My goal is a 168+.

Any and all suggestions would be appreciated!

Hello everyone :)

I’m currently signed up for the August LSAT and am looking for a tutor with some flexibility in the evenings. My budget is around $40–$50 per hour. I’m looking for someone who can make the most of our live sessions, since I work 3 days out of the week. I’d especially like help with conditionals, and necessary vs. sufficient distinctions, and flaw questions. I'd love some tips with diagramming as well.

I’m currently PTing in the low to mid 150s and am hoping to reach the low 170s.

Please let me know if you’d be available.

Thank you so much everyone!

I plan to take the LSAT this September for the 2027 cycle. I started with a 138 diagnostics score about three weeks ago and i'm around a 145-150 right now. However, every time I sit down to study, I have no idea If i'm being effective with my time.

I will start drilling untimed for about thirty minutes to warm up, then move to a timed section where I review the answers I got wrong. This goes on for about two to three hours until I realize my brain is fried and i'm just reading words and not comprehending anything.

I was just wondering if anyone had any ideas to help make my time studying more efficient. Any advice is appreciated, Thanks (:

Hello! I am looking for new students, whether you want to start studying early for Fall/Spring, or have some last-minute burning questions for the June exam. I am a (2021) 172 scorer and (2024) Wash U St. Louis JD graduate. I offer flexible hours and personalized plans. 7sage is the service I used those years ago to improve my score from the low 150s to the 170s! My tutoring philosophy stays consistent with the lessons taught by 7sage, filtering them through the lens of your personal idiosyncrasies: strengths and weaknesses. I have been an independent tutor since late Fall 2025, and I absolutely love helping students reach far beyond their ceiling. Consultations are free (limited to 1 hour) via Google Meet or phone, and I can meet as early as today. Please DM me if you are interested!

I scored 100% on BR and would always get all the questions I answered before the time elapsed. It appears that timing is my greatest challenge. How can I possibly overcome this challenge?

Saw an old posting that recorded sessions from live classes are in this link: https://classic.7sage.com/live-class-archive/ Anyone know if I can watch recorded live classes somewhere? If so, can you share the link?

Hi everyone,

I’m currently signed up for the August LSAT and am looking for a tutor. Ideally, I’m hoping to find a Canadian tutor with some flexibility in the evenings. My budget is around $40–$50 CAD per hour. I’m looking for a tutor who can make the most of our live sessions. I work full-time and am looking for some skill training as well as help with conditionals and necessary/sufficient distinctions. Some diagramming and homework would be lovely as well! I am currently Pt low 150, and am hoping to get up to high 160's/low 170's.

Please let me know if you’d be available for a quick 15-minute intro meeting!

Thank you so much everyone!

Hello everyone!

I've recently started studying (about 2 weeks now) for the LSAT. I'm hoping to take it early next year so I wanted to get a head start during the summer.

I've been studying for about 2 to 4 hours a day with the comprehensive foundations lessons, but I've been falling behind recently. It's been difficult to keep up the consistent motivation because I found it to be quite a lot - already burnt out possibly (I hope not).

Are there any tips to maintain a good, motivated study schedule that can persist not only through the summer but throughout the academic year as well?

Thanks everyone!

Hi all!

I’m looking to start working with an LSAT tutor as soon as possible to help me maximize my score over the next two months. I’m set on taking the August LSAT, hence the timeline. I've been self-studying, have a grasp of the basics, and am currently PTing in the 150s. Goal is to get as close as we can to 16high/17low.

I’d be grateful to connect with any tutors who might be a good fit. Please feel free to DM me!

2 fit considerations, in case it's helpful:

— I’m looking for a tutor who can make the most of our live sessions. I work full-time and support several other organizations, so my schedule is ridiculously tight. Ideally, we would balance learning and drilling during our calls and keep homework as close to near 0.

— I’m a T1 fee waiver recipient, so budget-friendly options would be especially appreciated!

Thank you!

175 scorer, Cornell grad magna cum laude. I'm also an LSAT instructor/tutor with 10 years of private tutoring experience and five years of experience at a major test prep company, where I tutored one-on-one as well as taught in front of a classroom.

I have helped countless LSAT students achieve their law school goals. The LSAT can feel like an insurmountable challenge and is viewed as the predictive indicator of law school success. LSAT requires a way of thinking that might feel unfamiliar to most. It's not a test of intelligence - it is a test of pattern recognition and understanding of the structure of arguments. I help you study strategically so you develop the skills you will need on test day, such as reading critically, inductive and deductive reasoning, and organizing evidence. I lay the foundation for the skills you will need to succeed in law school! I identify the techniques that will be most useful to you on test day and shore up against weaknesses so you can attack the test with confidence.

I also help craft graduate application essays, supplemental essays, law school application personal statements, and academic papers. I help with ideation, conceptualization, style, grammar, vocabulary, and structure. I guide, support, and help develop craft, de-stressing an often-fraught process.

Feel free to reach out! Happy to chat about where you are on your law school journey.

Hello,

I am looking for a study partner who is able to study after 5pm weekdays. I am hoping to study together at least once a week, which we can do via zoom or discord!
