My first diagnostic was a 165, and after months of studying I'm still averaging 168. I've gotten a few PTs between 170-174, but I'm really consistently getting 168s. I feel so stuck! Is this just how it is when you're trying to get 170+? Do I just need to drill more of the question types I'm stuck on? More time on wrong answer journaling? What's been helping you the most?

I am officially registered for the November LSAT. WHOSE COMING WITH ME!??!

I just took PT 148 Section 1 and I'm very confused with question 21. It reads:

No occupation should be subject to a licensing requirement unless incompetence in the performance of tasks normally carried out within that occupation poses a plausible threat to human health or safety.

'No' is a negated necessary indicator & 'unless' is a negated sufficient indicator. The curriculum says when encountering these it doesn't matter if you put the term as the necessary or sufficient condition because of the contrapositive. But, when you have both indicators that surely can't be the case as this question proves. If the curriculm covers how to handle conditional statement with both kinds of indicators I missed it.

So my question is, how do you handle these? Do you just need to use intuition to figure out which term goes in the sufficient/necessary spots? Do you prioritize one indicator over the other? Or do the indicators cancel each other out and you proceed as if they never existed?

The diagram for this questions is

If subject to licensing agreement (LR) → Incompetence poses threat (IPT)

(Contra) /IPT → /LR

Does anyone know how to get a hold of someone to ask about live classes? I study mostly in the evening pretty late, and I was hoping to ask someone about getting different classes at night as they seem to rotate relatively similar classes.

Thanks!

In the explaination video of PT153.S2.26 J.Y. references a "timing video". I also saw on another previous explaination (can't remember which one) it was a video of him going through a section on paper timed. Is there a way we can access these videos?

Hi everyone, I'm starting my LSAT studying journey, looking around and trying different online platforms that I feel work best. I enjoy 7sage, but feel a lot in the core curriculum is locked, like over half, what packages would you guys recommend worked best for you? Thanks!!!!!!

I've been getting around a 156 on my practice LSAT's with my blind reviews in the 165-166 range. Is it possible for me to get over 160 for the October LSAT? I've been told my problem isn't the content, its timing and consistency. Is this truly what it is?

I think that I would benefit from timing data during blind review. Not a live counter, but a background counter to show how much time I am spending during blind review. This may seem like "just more data." However, I see this as helping to hone-in further on specific question types and their nuances. This could help answer "What about this question makes me spend this much time on it?"

Hi!

I am studying for the January 2026 test and was wondering if anyone wanted to start a study group. I work full-time but go to the library or study at home after work and on weekends.

I am down to do practice sections together or even just be an accountability buddy to study next to.

I am open to both virtual and in-person!

Looking to take the January LSAT. Looking for a study buddy who could study in person. If you live in the twin cities and would be interested please DM me!

Pretty much what the title says. My main issue is with LR. I used to be able to score 18/25. Then I hit a couple highs of 20/25 and was very, very happy. A week before, I started getting 16/15/14 out of 25, a pretty big dip. Took the Sept test, then about a week break. Did a section drill yesterday, got a 13/25. Is my brain broken? Was it too much to hope for a linear increase? For reference, I work full time, so MTWRF I study 4 hours daily: I wake up an hour before work to study, the hour of my lunch break, and 2 hours when I get home. The weekends are about 8-10 hour days for me. Is it too much to hope for a 160 by Oct?

I am taking the September 2025 LSAT online using ProProcter. In the test instructions it says that scrap paper and pens are prohibited. How am I supposed to map out logic heavy questions? Is there a pencil tool on the program? What about a highlighter tool?

I am trying to figure out how I can better understand negating conditionals. For that I tried to start with truth tables for conditionals. But I found that I am unsure if I understand the truth tables for conditionals.

“Princeville is a city in Quebec. If you live in Princeville (P), then you live in Quebec. (Q).”

In what situation is the conditional relationship P→Q true and in what cases is it false?

In other words when is P sufficient for Q and Q is necessary for P. There are four possible outcomes:

1)  you live in Princeville (P=T),  you live in Quebec (Q=T). (P→Q applies & is true)

2) you live in Princeville(P=T), you do NOT live in Quebec(Q=F). (P→Q is false)

3) you do NOT live in Princeville (P=F), you live in Quebec (Q=T) (P→Q is F?!? why?)

4) If you do NOT live in Princeville (P=F), you do NOT live in Quebec (Q=F). (P→Q is F?!? why?)

The last two rows do not seem to be very clear for me if we look at set/subsets.

If I replace the conditional statement with subset symbol P→Q =P⸦Q the truth table does not seem to be very clear.

However, the following (from https://courses.lumenlearning.com/frontrange-mathforliberalartscorequisite1/chapter/1-8-truth-tables-conditionals-and-biconditionals/) makes more sense to me.

p → q where p is I live in an apartment and q is then I pay rent. 

What are the outcomes?

1. I do live in an apartment and I pay rent, then the situation is true (no eviction!)

2. I live in an apartment and I don’t pay rent, then the situation is false (eviction, broken promise)

3. I don’t live in an apartment but I do pay rent, then the situation is true (though why would you do it?)

4. I don’t live in an apartment and I don’t pay rent, then the situation is true (no promise broken)

-

The truth table makes sense if we define and look at conditionals so:

"If P then Q" simply eliminates the possibility that both P is true and Q is false.

P⟹Q  ≡  /(P and /Q)  ≡  /P or Q

For the inverse:

It would be nice if there was a clear example of how to do the same for an inverse please. I can do it if /P→/Q = / [/(P and /Q)]  = P and /Q. However is there an easy to understand example for this?

Looking for a study partner to drill questions ! Anyone?

It is all the sudden now showing that I have barely any tags above "Low priority". My expected accuracy for everything just tanked to like 25%... Last night it was fine! Haven't taken any tests since.

I was wondering if anyone would be interested in regularly going through 3-5 star CausR and CondR questions. I have bee stuck at ~170 for a while now because of them and was hoping that maybe just talking to someone might help raise both our scores.

I live in the Phx area, so I guess most interaction would be digital.

Thank you for your time and I hope you have a great day!

I just scored a 158 on PT128.

Yo, I just started studying for the LSAT with 7Sage and I am starting by going through the core curriculum that the study plan chose for me. My question is, should I be taking notes while I am watching the videos and reading, or no? Thanks!

You can now react to chats (as in direct messages) with an emoji, like this:

The site will be available again in one hour, hopefully less.

Please avoid doing a PrepTest or Problem Set near this time so that your work is not interrupted. Sorry for any inconvenience!

I had to withdraw from all of my classes halfway through my third semester of university because of a traumatic accident which left me with a severe concussion and broken collarbone. This fact is described in my personal statement, though it is not the main topic.

Would it be advisable to also explain the 'W's on my transcript from this time through a addendum, or would that be over-kill?

Hi! looking for some advice. in the past month and a half, i've scored 180, 180, 179, 173, 175, 171, 171. I feel like I've been studying just as hard and focusing on my weaknesses in the same way that brought me to those high initial scores. I'm not sure what I'm doing differently to account for the drop. I haven't been particularly stressed or overwhelmed, and nothing major has changed in my lifestyle. Maybe the PTs in the late 130s were just easier for me than the ones I'm taking in the 140s?

Has anyone experienced something similar, and do you have any advice? My test is in a month and I'd like to reach my full potential again.

Peace Everyone,

I’m new to the 7Sage community and currently preparing for the January LSAT. I’m looking to form or join a dedicated, accountability-based study group with other motivated test takers.

The idea is to meet once a week to study together, discuss strategies, review tough questions, and keep each other on track. Whether you’re just getting started or already deep into your prep, let’s help each other stay focused and improve.

If you're interested, feel free to send me a private message or reply to this post. Let’s put in the work and get the score we deserve!
