I would soooo appreciate it if we could turn off the "i" previous of why 7Sage flagged a question for Blind Review while still in the process of BR. I struggle soooo hard to resist the temptation to preview it, and see if I even got the question wrong. It can be helpful on drills and practice, but for a full PrepTest, I feel like it defeats the whole purpose of BR. For me at least!

RC Drill vs. RC in PT

I have a problem concerning the difference in accuracy in my RC drills versus my RC in PTs. It is common for me to score -1 or -0 per passage in RC drills, but when I try and replicate this in PTs, I average around -3 per passage. What is making me do this? Any tips?

Hi! Could we get the new lsac format on BR as well? That way we can remain consistent in our highlighting patterns and also get more practice with it?

I know this may not be a universally shared interest but just an idea!

Hi! I am Lauren and I'm hoping to start a study group in the MD (PG County) area. I am just starting out, so not a lot of experience, but I would love to have a buddy or three to study with.

Really loving the Logic Links game as someone who needs to improve both accuracy and speed on conditional logic.

Some new terms in there that I have not found grouped in the lessons... what groups would "is enough", "is sufficient", "guarantees", and "is necessary" belong to?

Anyone else taking the LSAT from abroad? I'm a Peace Corps volunteer in Cambodia and since I'm not allowed to leave the country in the last couple of months of service, I'll be taking the international test date in October. I'm a bit nervous about all of the new changes to the LSAT and the online proctor, so I figured I'd reach out to see if anyone else was in the same boat. But no matter when or where you're taking it, good luck!

RC Reading Advice

Hi! This is my second time taking the LSAT; I've been studying for about 6 months total now, and I have progressed well with LR, but I feel like my RC has been stagnant.

I find that my biggest issue is even if I spend 5-6 minutes reading the passage, I don't understand the full meaning (especially with the added timed pressure) and have to rush through the questions. Many say that taking notes on the author's opinions, tone, structure, etc. takes up too much time.

Any advice on what I should do to have better understanding of the passage? Not sure how to truly make myself be more of an "active" reader, as I see with other suggestions.

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated!!

149 PT score

I am trying to get past the 149 jail. I have been there for weeks and I at least wanna break into the 150s. I take the test in August and September. Any tips? I haven't taken a full PT in awhile. Should I?

I had the opportunity through an internship to draft a legal memo that roughly follows an IRAC structure. Would it be a good idea to link this to my resume as I am applying? For context, I am applying with a 3.95, have a 166 on my record, but I am retaking in August; my recent PTs (and individual sections) have been in the high 170s. I would assume it's unusual, which would be a good thing, but I am also somewhat afraid that if it's "not T14 quality," it would hurt my chances. Opinions?

During my timed PT I am doing significantly worse than my BR. I know there is some controversy about the truth behind BR but I definitely find myself making simple mistakes when the pressure of time comes in. I don't know how to stop that. I feel like I have reached a plateau at my timed score as I keep scoring around there. I feel like something needs to click in me, but it is not and I am not sure what to do. Any suggestions?

🫠 Illogical

Conditional reasoning vs. me

My conditional reasoning and diagramming skills are usually solid. I often do it the same way it's done in the LR lesson videos.

However, looking at my wrong answer list, a significant chunk of the questions are tagged with conditional reasoning! This suggests to me that my basic cond R skills are alright, but I get stumped by the ways the LSAT tries to trick us, especially on level 4 and level 5 questions.

How can I improve? Where can I get practice with advanced conditional reasoning, and why is the LSAT so good at making cond R difficult?

I took the LSAT in June and scored a little lower than desired, so I am retaking in Sep. I had studied Jan-June, with about 10 weeks of practice blocks. I now only have 4 fresh full PTs available to take, but at least 7 PT "slots" (ie saturdays between now and Sep test).

What is the best approach here? Should I save all 4 for the weeks directly leading up to Sep? Should I alternate? What should I do in weeks without a fresh PT (take old old fresh PTs, create my own PTs with 4 sections pulled from partially fresh PTs, etc)?

Any feedback would be helpful!

I would be eternally grateful for a live class on a super hard science passage like Basins of Attraction or C-4 Photosynthesis! It would be like an early Christmas treat for me!

Increasing my RC Accuracy

Hi everyone!

I have recently hit a wall with the RC sections and can't seem to increase my accuracy even with extensive practice. I was wondering what others have done or do to increase their accuracy, like tips, methods, or creating new ways of thinking. Hopefully this makes sense; any help would be appreciated!

Hi everyone, started studying for the LSAT about a week ago and I’m looking for a study partner in the London area.

The journey to law school is already challenging, and coming from the UK makes the LSAT process feel even more daunting. I’m aiming to take the LSAT in November, so I’d love to connect with someone who is also preparing for the exam and wants to stay motivated and accountable throughout the process.

If you’re interested in studying together, sharing resources, or meeting up for practice sessions, feel free to reach out!

Hey, like the tittle states I will be travelling for 2 weeks due to the loss of a grandparent to a foreign country and I am having trouble conveying my worries to my parents that my score will decrease significantly when I return. I will return 2 weeks before the September LSAT but I will also be starting my courses for the Fall and working on campus. My first question would be, is there anything better to do then just downloading practice tests and trying to do sections when I have free time. Secondly, what is the best way to wear off the rust of not having been able to study consistently for those 2 weeks before the LSAT? Thank you for any advice!

Hi, friends! Just moved to Seattle and working towards a Fall LSAT. Would love to meet other folks in town and set up an in-person study group. :)

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!

LR Study Buddy

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!
