Hey gang, I've been stuck in the high 150s for the past two months, and I am taking the test in November. I am really struggling with the higher difficulty qs on LR. I know the newer tests are getting harder, and I feel like I don't know what Im doing. Every single section, preptest, everything I do is 159. I want to get to 170s like everybody else on this forum but I am really close to just giving up atp.

My RC is fine. My foundations are fine. I blind reviewed a previous test and got a 174. But I just don't know what to do, how to improve. I haven't been reviewing my answers as deeply as I had in the past, but I'm just really scared that I can't get to where I want to be.

Hey everyone, I am a couple months into my LSAT journey and I will soon be finished going through the core curriculum(LR, RC, and Argumentative Writing). I was wondering if anyone has any tips on reviewing? Once I finish with the curriculum, I want to spend a lot of time reviewing, but I would like to know some tips that anyone may have concerning this. Thanks!

Hi everyone! I'm planning to take the upcoming test in November and have been struggling to stay focused. If anyone is willing to be accountability buddies over Zoom or in person, please let me know! I'm in the Pasadena/Los Angeles area :)

Hi, so sorry if this is already an option and I'm missing it - but I'm wondering if there is any way to change the amount of drill questions that are presented to you? I've attached (a rather large, apologies about that) snip of what I'm talking about. I'm going through the logical reasoning cheat sheet and drilling each question type to work on the specific questions that I struggle with. (Also the cheat sheet is honestly such an amazing resource!)

However, whenever I click "start drill", it's only 5 questions. I have already changed the default in Study --> Drills, Sections, PTs and set it from 5 to 10 (second photo) - but when I go back to the sheet, it's still only 5 questions. Is this a setting I can change or are we at 5 per drill via the cheat sheet? Thank you in advance!! 7Sage is honestly amazing as someone who works FT and has been out of grad school since 2020.

How detrimental is it to admissions odds to apply in December vs early November? I slept like shit on the morning of my October LSAT, my PT average is a 174, but this probably came in lower than that and just playing with the admissions calculator i see that even a 172 doesn't really do me much as far as odds for the schools i want to attend. I really don't want to wait for another cycle, but my question simply is: Is it worth it to wait and apply in December if i can say improve a hypothetical 172 to a 174?

I took my first LSAT in September and got a 161. I was averaging a 160 on PTs, so I was unsurprised with my score. Nevertheless, I knew I could score higher. After taking a month break from studying and mulling over whether I should take the time to retake the exam, I sat down and scored a high score on both my raw score and BR on the first PT back. I know this is PT 120, which isn't as similar to a real test as the PTs in the 150s, but I'm super stoked to keep going! Trust in God and send it! November here we come!

Hello everyone,

I am extremely happy to share that, after many calls, emails, texts, and patience, I have been approved to retake the LSAT on Tuesday in person! I am also glad to share that I took my argumentative writing on Sunday, and it was approved less than 24 hours later.

Please, send good energy and focus for me for Tuesday. I need it.

Thank you to everyone who has shown support or reached out to me. It means more than you know, your kindness has helped me push through this frustrating and scary process.

It seems like the new feature took away all the information that the previous feature had about previous preptests. It would tell you how many times you took it, what score you got, which ones were for drilling, sections, and for testing.

The new feature has all of that hidden into this drop down tab menu that tells you like half of the information that the previous one had. I spent basically 90% of my time on 7sage looking that page making plans for future tests/sections, and now it just gives you a small little drop down and only shows you one pt at a time -- not to mention it doesn't even show any stats about it.

Any chance i can get this page back and or if I'm missing a preptest page somewhere? Thanks.

It’s so weird. It’s like my drilling tab is gone ! I can’t even take practice test ? How do I fix this !?

Hey everyone! I’m Jason and I’m offering private LSAT tutoring! www.sheffermancoaching.com

My Approach: My tutoring is very visual, hands on, and personalized because that was the style of tutoring I needed but never got. I realized most LSAT tutors are the natural test takers not needing to have studied much. The LSAT did not come naturally to me…I took the LSAT 6 times starting from an official 147 to eventually a 173. I needed someone to understand things at my level (the very bottom) and to walk me through the process. I also needed a more visual and repeatable approach that works for any question type or passage.

Limited Availability: I keep my roster small on purpose because I get genuinely involved with everyone I work with. My tutoring works best when it feels like a friend who’s had similar experiences rather than you feeling like I’m counting the minutes until the session is over.

A bit about me: I studied the intersection of philosophy and cognitive psychology and TA’d in formal logic, was the commencement speaker and graduated from Washington University in St. Louis School of Law in 2025 and worked as a startup corporate lawyer for Cooley LLP. Check out my website for more info!

Hello 7Sage Support,

I am currently traveling from New York to Morocco, which is approximately an 11-hour flight. I would like to know if there is a way to download lessons, drills, or other materials from my current study plan so I can continue studying offline during the flight.

I am using the 7Sage app on my iPad and would appreciate guidance on whether offline studying is supported and, if so, how I can download my study materials before my departure.

Thank you for your assistance!

Hey everyone,

Before I say anything, I just want to note that I’m not selling any sort of service, so please don’t dm me. I’m just someone who works full-time in a position where I often have to critique essays, and I wanted to give some advice. Here goes:

1) Don’t write like that

One mistake I see a lot of people make is that they try to channel their inner Henry James or Tolstoy. Paragraphs upon paragraphs of flowery, ornamental prose. Please, please, please don’t do that. Few people, especially in their 20s, can write that kind of style well. If you think you can, reconsider.

Don’t get me wrong, I love those authors, but you need to write to your audience. In this case, that audience is a tired AO who’s already read 20 other applications, many of whom are probably trying to do the same thing. These essays can be tedious to read, and often make you sound pretentious. You will get far more mileage from a clear, moderately detailed style than you would from rewriting Gravity’s Rainbow.

2) Be willing to cut

I know, every part of your PS is very important, but knowing when to take Off Yeller out back is a crucial writing skill. I see so many people try to cram the sum of their entire lives into 2-3 pages, and that’s almost certainly not going to be effective. It would be much, much better to just pick a story or two and draw out the details in those. Where were you? How did you feel? What were you thinking?

3) The punchy sentence probably isn’t great

A lot of folks write a sentence that they fall in love with. They think it’s great, they thing it encapsulates their entire message. This is… usually not the case. I find that these sentences come off as dramatic, and sometimes leave me with a feeling of ‘okay, and what else?’ It might sound really noble to talk about how you want to use the power of law to protect the little guy in this grand, sweeping statement, but you’re probably better off using that space to say what you specifically want to do with your career. Do you want to work for a PI organization? Do you want to do administrative law? Mention that.

Take all my words with a grain of salt. I’m not an admissions officer, never have been, but I also wouldn’t say that I’m proposing anything revolutionary. Just remember the words of Kelly Johnson: keep it simple, stupid.

Hi, I use the notes feature a lot for WAJ. But I've noticed that there's no way to differentiate between RC and LR questions. I feel like it would be very useful to have a way to distinguish between the 2 sections in Notes. It would make reviewing notes so much easier without having to pull up the individual questions and check whether the question belongs to LR or RC section. So could you please add a Sort by Section feature? Thank You so much for considering this!

Hi everyone. I finished all my applications early September(!!!) my personal statement/why law was based on my work in victim services. I recently started work as a paralegal in a criminal defense firm (lol), should I send updated resumes to schools or just leave it as is. Worried this update would derail my narrative or would it make me stronger bc I am understanding the criminal system even more?? Thanks!

I’ve completed my personal statement, but I’ve noticed some school indicate on their application that they want to know “why you would be a good fit for x school of law” or “why are you applying to x school of law” within their personal statement instructions. Are we supposed to be writing alternate versions of our personal statement that are tailored to be more school-specific? I was thinking of just adding a paragraph on with how my statement material relates to the specific school and their values/offerings. Is anyone else encountering this??

Hey everyone! I'm Andrea. I've been teaching the LSAT for eight years. Have done several thousand sessions and worked with hundreds of students. I've taught big classes and webinars, small groups, and infinite one-on-ones. I've also written LSAT curriculum for a major prep company, where I'm their RC specialist, and dive deep on advanced LR work.

I also do a lot of law school admissions consulting/personal statement help, I worked with the admissions team as an admissions fellow at Harvard Law.

My biggest strength is diagnosis. After thousands of sessions with all different kinds of students, I've seen it all ten times over, so I quickly find the specific knowledge gaps, habits, and weaknesses holding back individual test-takers. I can see what problems you're likely to get wrong/right and why, can see how far you are from where you want to get, so I mix up a custom framework for getting you there and give you the fixes that work for the kind of test taker that you specifically are

I also specialize in strategies for test-taking anxiety. This is such a blocker for people! Lots to offer here.

Message me if you'd like to chat!

there isn't a drop down menu under "study" to create more drills. Where can i go to make drills? Where did the tab go

Hi Everyone,

I took the October LSAT this past week at an in person center and wanted to provide my feedback and advice for those who are new.

Note: I have taken a few LSATS in the past both in Logic games format and all remote.

1. the LSAT was not very different to what you would expect from PT's. You will see a lot of BS on reddit but to be honest they are not that different. So just focus and don't psych yourself out.

2. Test Center: My test center experience was pretty smooth, they provided noice cancel headphones which worked great. you can hear the door open and closes which does happen a decent amount but to be honest its easy to block out. The first 10 minutes of the test my nerves were very high because of the new environment but after that I was locked in. I would highly recommend that you take one practice test at a library or have someone you live with open and close your door every 10 minutes lol.

3. If you have to leave the room during a break, you are required to check back in which is a quick 2 minute screen. the people in the center are very organized and nice.

4. My big advice for test takers in general is practice your positive affirmations. For me the biggest difference between a PT and a real test is that I get instant feedback or know what is experimental ahead of time. During the real test it is normal for your brain to be like "I am not doing well" in fact it happened to me every single section. But I just kept reminding myself that this is normal I have felt like this almost every practice test and the result turns out fine. I also remind myself that it is a marathon and to focus in on the question at hand one at a time. I promise this will help you. don't just track how you do on PT's track how your mind is reacting to things and learn how to strengthen your mind. That will make a massive difference for test day.

   I hope this helps some people. please reach out if you have questions. Hoping for a positive result later this month but remember. This test does not define you!

I don’t know if it’s entirely in my head or the new tests I’ve sat for (Sept & Oct) genuinely do feel way different, but if it’s the latter, what’s the best advice you can give to be prepared for the CURRENT version of both LR and RC? There’s only so much material via PT150-159 and I’m kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place.

if it’s the former then let me know also. I’ve heard some people speak of a so-called “shift” around PT 151 and didn’t know how much merit there is to that. At whatever rate, any advice is greatly appreciated!

EDIT: Also, if it is in fact different, can you elaborate on what makes it different, and how to know and prepare for that difference?

Hi everyone! I’m looking for recommendations for affordable LSAT tutoring (maximum $60 an hour, preferably lower). I took the August LSAT and scored a 140. My timed practice scores are currently in the 140–150s range, but I’m scoring in the 160s on blind review. My target is realistically a 165–169, though I’d love to score even higher. I am registered for the November exam but may push it to January.

I’ve been self-studying since January 2026 and started with a 128, so I know I’ve made progress, but I feel like something still isn’t clicking for many areas in LR. I also struggle with anxiety, difficulty maintaining focus, and dissociation during exams which are big factors contributing to my score. I’m working full-time now, which has made it harder to find the energy and motivation to study consistently. I would like help identifying what’s holding me back from translating my blind review performance into my timed score.

I’m especially looking for a tutor who has experience working with students with disabilities and takes an understanding, patient, and supportive approach. I previously tried working with a tutor but left the experience feeling degraded for not understanding the questions they asked. I want to work with someone who can meet me where I’m at, explain concepts in different ways when needed, and help me build confidence without feeling embarrassed to ask questions.

I’m also open to hearing about tutoring approaches or study strategies that worked for people in a similar situation. :)

Just wanted to see if anyone else's SageAI is glitching? I don't think I've run out, but mine is stuck on thinking after asking it to analyze my results for a timed section I did (it took a few messages to get it to do anything). This only started for me this morning, so I wanted to see if anyone else was experiencing this issue, or maybe I'm just out of SageAI (hopefully not) and I don't know it.

Good morning everyone,

I am sharing this post because I want to encourage all of you as well as myself! :)

It has been about 3 weeks since I began my LSAT prep with 7 Sage. At first, I totally had no idea what to study or where to start.

I am currently working at an accounting firm in the US and during the break timed, I have practiced the Logic Link Game.

At first, I didn't even know what the sufficient and necessary conditions were and I couldn't pass even the easiest one as a natural consequence.

However, just a week later, distinguishing bewteen necessary and sufficient conditions has became a piece of cake YEAH!

I didn't expect this to happen so early but effort and time we put never betray us!

I sincerely encourage you all, and let's keep going!

With grace and peace,

God bless you!

(Thank you 7 Sage Team, always!)

Hi! I’m looking for help with personal statement and other essays. I have a 172 LSAT and 3.98. Willing to negotiate prices!

Hello everyone! Anyone interested to join a study group in ID?

If you keep rereading RC passages, or flipping back to them on every question, this class is for you.

I'm running a free live class every Saturday, 9 to 10am Mountain (11am ET / 10am CT / 8am PT). It starts October 17 with a two-week RC series, then a new skill each week after that. Only 10 spots for now, so it stays small enough for real discussion.

Register here: https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/soq1FwpWTQaHV-zwg2eb6A

Can't make it? Register anyway and I'll send you the recording.

Week 1 (Oct 17): Reading RC for reasoning structure. Most people read passages for the details, then get lost when the questions ask about the argument. I'll teach you to read for structure instead: whose view is whose, where the author lands, and what each paragraph is doing. Then we'll work a real passage together and break down the misses live.

Week 2 (Oct 24): Attacking the RC question stem. Once you can see the structure, the next place points leak is the stem. You read it, decide what it's asking, and go hunting for the wrong thing before you've looked at a single answer choice. A stem pointing at the whole passage means the answer won't hinge on a small detail, so you shouldn't need to go back. A stem pointing at one sentence means the opposite. I'll teach my routine for reading stems, then we'll run real questions together.

Free RC Handouts

I've put together RC handouts that cover everything in this two-week series. Comment below and I'll send them over, whether or not you can make it. And tell me which RC question type reliably costs you the most. I pick future topics from the replies.

About Me

My name is Tanner. I studied harder for the LSAT than anything in my life, reviewed every question, put in the hours, and my score stayed flat. The problem was blind spots I couldn't see on my own. I eventually went from a 151 to a 177, and I've spent the four years since coaching over 1,000 hours one-on-one. I also went through most of college not knowing I had ADHD, so I spent years assuming I was lazy when I just learned differently than I was being taught. That's why I now specialize in coaching students with ADHD, and it shapes how I coach everyone. Most students don't need to grind harder. They need to find the one thing holding them back.

It's usually narrower than they think. One student understood RC passages fine but kept missing the questions about the whole passage. Every time, she'd go searching for the one sentence that proved her answer, and on those questions there usually isn't one. That habit was keeping her at a 172. Fixing it got her to a 176, and it's exactly what we'll work on in Week 2.

One-on-One Tutoring

If you find the class helpful and want one-on-one tutoring, I offer a free 20 to 30 minute consultation. After that, coaching is $180/hour, and if you decide not to continue after your first session, I'll refund it 100%. Text 801-645-3233 or email tanner.call@law.byu.edu.
