Hello! I was wondering if someone would be able to help me with the following things: 1. Resume that I'll be submitting to law schools. 2. Topics to write about in my personal statement(s.) 3. My law school lists.

I have been so inconsistent with LR lately and when I go to do blind review, I am seeing my mistakes clearly once I have time to really read and review the stem and ACs, hence the high blind review scores. Not sure how to improve on the actual timed sections though and at this point it's frustrating that they seem to be getting even worse! I'm pretty consistent with getting through the first 15 or so questions in 16-18 minutes, so I feel like I should have enough time but then I have a huge fall off on performance with the difficult questions, usually always picking the wrong answer out of the 2 I narrow it down to or just not understanding the question properly in a timed scenario. Any tips are appreciated!

Hi! I'm applying to law school for the next cycle and am getting super nervous about my GPA. Unfortunately, my undergrad gpa was quite low. For context, I am a computer engineering and computer science major who graduated in 2025 and had two dips in my gpa that were both affected by emergency situations. I had to take an incomplete for a class since I had to miss the final exam due to the circumstance, but retook the class next Spring and got an A. In another course, I had a D, but maintained an A until the incident hit. My plan is to explain these dips in a gpa addendum without making excuses. I also got some corporate experience during and after college. I worked for 6 months full time as a Data Center Tech and 1 year as a RF engineer. I also have been working as an intern for 6 months at a cybersecurity company.

I would really love to apply to T14 law schools and a few in mind (obviously I will also be applying to targets and safetys), but is it just not in the cards for me? I know my LSAT is gonna have to some heavy lifting and my goal score is a 170+ (ambitious ik) with my first attempt in January. But is there anything else I can do to really strengthen my application?

Hi! Wondering if anyone that works FT would like to be in a study group together? It can feel so isolating to do this by yourself and I'm wondering if others would like to connect.

I’ve only been studying like 48 days. My last PT I got 168 and I feel motivated and I’m still coming up with the “ahah moments”. 92nd percentile is not bad at all, sometimes we get perfectionistic and forget how far we have come.

I learned that “implied” in RC is “most strongly supported”. I learned that parallel reasoning is just the Lawgic, that analogy in LR is often the same but in RC it’s the roles and verbs. I’m training my gut instinct for the harder causal and conditonal reasoning. I watch the most challenging live classes by Kevin and Bailey, start to get confused about 3/4 through and I love it! I love planting the seed by challenging myself with info I don’t yet understand and feel things click into place over the next few days. My friend jokes that I have “revelations” multiple times a day

I saw a challenging question that almost involved logic games style of a question, needed a diagram. And I didn’t get it right but I was thrilled, and watched the video and got it etc. I learned that must be false is conditional not causal usually. I learned to make the little pie charts for those formal logic indicators “some, most” etc etc with different wholes and parts.

It’s fun to do the full time schedule in the drilling section. Take a break for a couple hours play with the dog and then practice again. It’s the joy of the hunt, of the chase. It’s the joy of rapid improvement and a race to the finish line. And to be so in touch with yourself, any biases or irrelevant thoughts in your head, the small difference between different feelings of intuition and whether it is a real or a false signal. I can feel my own heartbeat, and the blood moving in my body. It’s like I get to be a laser with my own mind.

Anyone getting ready in the area?

IDK if it's just me but the preptests 150 and more recently seem much harder compared to the older preptests like 120 and 130. I was consistently getting -4 on LR on the older PTs and now im averaging around -8 (PT150+).

The most recent section (152.S1) I took I got a -7 and even some of the lower diff questions really picked my brain and took me much longer to solve.

I'm assuming that this is just bc the newer PTs are more diff but at the same time, that are probably more reflective of the LSAT I will be taking in October.

Given the lawsuit that HLS has lost regarding affirmative action, I'm leaning toward not reporting my ethnicity to law schools. However, I am wondering if refusing to report ethnicity is something that AOs will see on my application and consider unusual (especially since my name is revealing about my ethnicity).

Hiii!! Anyone in the Montgomery County, MD area taking the September/October LSAT and want to study together and hold each other accountable. I am registered for the September LSAT and will be taking October as a fallback and would love to drill/take practice exams with others to help me get the best out of the rest of the time I have left. Please lmk!!!

This really hurt because I got to a point in individual sections that I thought consistent -2's were possible but then I did this...it's like I know I have the conceptual ceiling given my high BR and the perfect S4, but I'm just not consistent enough in real time and slipped up on some not-so-hard questions.

The good news is that timing no longer scares me and I've done so many priority drills that hard questions don't scare me either. What I'm missing is that extra little boost to my accuracy and consistency that will help me say goodbye to the 160s for good. My last 3 tests have been around here: 167, 169, 168. I'll usually have one section that is a -1 or -2 but then at least one that will be -4 and knock me down below 170.

Anyways, enough rambling, just thought that a perfect unscored section is not something one sees all the time haha.

Hi! Does anyone have any law school resume templates they love, or have any that worked for them they would be willing to share? Thanks :)

Hey y’all, posting this because I know something I personally struggled with at the start of studying was having a low diagnostic and I was also stuck in the low 160s prison for a while. I’m happy to say it’s not the end. While it takes a lot of time and effort, it’s definitely possible to improve a lot with this exam. So keep at it and you’ll do great!

It seems kind of random looking in from the outside. Sometimes folks with above median stats get nothing, while a splitter gets half tuition.

I have hundreds of notes. As a result, my notes window turns into visual soup. An added tag feature would greatly improve the notes interface.

Personally, I have a system where I add text to my notes to tag them. For example, I'll type "LR: MSS:" at the beginning of a note. This would allow me to later utilize the search feature to sort by logical reasoning related notes, or just for notes on the MSS question type.

This could be implemented as a built-in tag feature. It could look similar to the existing colorful tags that appear when viewing question analytics. When drafting a note, a user could press a button, allowing them to select from a number of tags. Then after the note is posted, the user could search/sort their notes by a selected set of tags.

If some version of this already exists, please let me know where I can find it. Thanks!

Edit: I notice there is an existing sort-by-tag feature, but the tags appear to be based solely on the question/section number. What I have in mind are broader category-based tags.

Hi y'all,

I'm looking to find study buddies in-person or virtually so I can hold myself accountable.

A little about myself...

• I just started studying and I'm in the ~145 to 150s range

• I'd prefer to meet in-person regularily every week

• Please do not chat with me when we are studying or I will go on a tangent :(

• I am located around the Seattle areas so I'd love to make some more friends who have the same goals in mind!

Nice to e-meet everyone!!

Hey 7Sage!

Not sure if this is intended but when you go to accessibility settings and select a font size it doesn’t save for the next drill. Is this intended because it reflects Lawhub or a possible bug?

7sage LSAT Wizards,

I've been listening to the podcast now for a few weeks and going through old episodes but haven't heard anything about active-duty/veteran applicants and how their resumes/personal statements may differ from the average applicant. I'd love to talk to the podcast team and share my statement/resume not only to help myself, but potentially other veterans on their law school journey. Is there an email one can send that information to or is it just a matter of commenting on the video?

Thanks for your time!

-Sebastian

I’m consistently scoring mid-160s on timed practice tests, but my blind review scores are mid-170s. I know that a gap this large means there’s something going wrong with my timed process, but I’m struggling to figure out exactly what.

For those who have had a similar gap, what specifically helped you turn your blind review score into your actual score? Did you focus more on timing, skipping strategy, drilling certain question types, or something else?

I’m trying to get into the high 160s, so I’d really appreciate any advice on how to close this gap!

Hi! I'm a student at NYU Law School with an official LSAT score of 175. I've spent the past year+ tutoring the LSAT, and I have worked with 10+ students across a range of starting points and timelines. On average, my students have improved 7–10 points from their diagnostic score. Throughout my time tutoring (and while studying for the exam myself), I compiled a study guide including all of the question types you will see on the exam and relevant strategies for answering them. I also identify some important patterns across the exam. I’ve written some general tips below, but if you want the full guide, either comment or DM me and I can send it over!

A few general tips:

• The LSAT tends to emphasize scope and tone words. The biggest place that my students see improvement is when they begin reading for tone and quantifying words in both LR and RC. In practice, this means recognizing when the passage or stimulus uses words like "some," "all," or "most" and being able to use those words to eliminate answer that are out of the scope of the question. It's my favorite hack and can help you eliminate answers almost every time.

• You do not have to start from scratch each time you see a necessary assumption question. Similar to most other question types, necessary assumption leverages your pattern recognition skills, meaning you rarely have to start from complete scratch in answering a necessary assumption question. For example, many necessary assumption questions dealing with an experiment or trial carry the assumption that the group being studies does not have some other common variable that would impact the results one way or another.

• For RC, the main point questions should cover the entire passage. If there is a prominent argument or tone in the passage, you will see that in the correct answer choice. If there is a counterargument that is discussed and rebutted extensively, that will also be in there. The most common wrong answers here are the ones that are too specific or too broad and don't cover enough of the passage.

I tutor both online and in person in the NYC area, and I'm flexible on scheduling. If you're aiming for a specific score range or just feeling stuck, message me and we can schedule a free intro call to go over what a study plan might look like. My rate is typically $100 per hour if we are meeting online, and $120 for in-person in NYC but am open to negotiating for class packages/fee waivers.

THIS IS MY FIRST TIME OUT OF 150S HELL. ITS BEEN 4 YEARS OF RAISING A BABY, WORKING 12 HOUR SHIFTS IN THE HOSPITAL, LEARNING LSAT LANGUAGE, RUNNING A HOUSE, WASHING CLOTHES, MOPING FLOORS, DOING DISHES, DOING LAUNDRY, AND ALOT OF TEARS. DO YALL THINK IN CAN REPEAT IT ?

Hello!

I just recently finished the core curriculum here on 7Sage and have a pretty decent understanding of the LSAT as a whole, but like many others, I struggle with shrinking the gap between BR and my actual score! Particularly on RC where my scores most volatile under a timer.

Any tips?

Please add more info to the classes and tutoring pages (like the live page)

Group Classes

Upcoming group classes (all I can see is my schedule but not all the upcoming group classes)

Course details (tutor, date, time, level) | pricing  -> (join)

Schedule tutoring

Tutors  | Available Spots | Pricing

• Don’t know who to pick (let us help you)

It would be very convenient and helpful to schedule base on individual needs (such as schedule, tutor or/and pricing). Students wouldn’t need to hunt tutors for their info (schedules, pricing + additional info during lives) and there’d be no need for a consultation.

I'm seeing a pattern of always getting analogy questions wrong on any RC passage.

I have my low res written down, I have the main point, and I have a structural understanding when going through the other questions.

What is the key to getting analogy questions? Is there something I'm missing in the passage that would help me get the analogy questions better? Or should I prephrase what kind of analogy I need to look for in the answer choices?

Any tips and tricks for Analogy questions would be great!

Hi! I recently took the August LSAT and wanted some tips on when to prioritize speed vs accuracy. My practice test scores have been variable, swinging between 163-171. I'd like to score a 170+

In both LR and RC, I am able to get almost every question right untimed. However, especially during the August LSAT, I felt like I had to guess on answers or speed through the questions when I wasn't 100% sure.

I know most of the advice is to work on the question types more and you will gradually get faster, which I intend to do before the October LSAT! But I was also looking for any advice you guys may have to get out of such a variable score and really work on speed without sacrificing accuracy for my next exam!
