Split Approach - RC

Hi everybody, I've been practicing the split approach and quite enjoy its methodology. However, I've also read elsewhere that LSAC is actively trying to create questions that stop this approach from being as effective. Can anybody weigh in on this (test takers) and if I should pivot to sequential?

Good luck and thanks!

Link Assumption Questions

Would someone be able to provide me with some of the nuances and strategies needed when tackling link assumption questions. I seem to uniquely struggle with them on my tests and cannot find specific resources for how to approach them. I figure some sort of my mindset is incorrect but I have yet to be able to figure out what. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

hello, I will be taking the Oct exam and was looking for buddies either virtually or in upstate NY/Ithaca who'd like to work together. I scored a 166 on the June exam and I'm striving for 170-172.

Let me know if you'd be interested/if you have any pieces of advice. (-:

Study Group- October

Hey everyone! I’m planning to take the LSAT in October and looking to create an online study group with others who are also preparing for the same test date. I’m based in Toronto, but open to connecting virtually with anyone who’s serious about studying and wants to stay accountable. We can share resources, set goals, and keep each other motivated.

If you're interested, send me a message and let’s get started!

Hi everyone, I plan on applying to law school this November and while I wanted to write the LSAT before applying, life kinda got in the way so now I am aiming for the November test too. In my application I plan on indicating that I will write in both November 2025 and January 2026, even though I hope to not have to write in January at all.

But in the off chance that I'm happy with my November score, would the admissions committee wait to consider my application fully until after a January score is posted since I have selected it on my application (even though I may not even write it in January for certain)? Or would they just consider my application with my November score if its posted first and good enough, and not pay much attention to whether I do better in January or not?

I am aware that it would be much more ideal for me to just wait until next year to avoid all of this, but I've been committed to applying this year and figured that aiming for November, and being open to January incase something goes wrong (or I get greedy and want to score higher) would be the smartest option. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!!!

Should I Cancel My Score?

Hi. I just got back my score on the August LSAT and got a 156. This was my first test and I was PTing around 163-165 but after I took the test I knew I did worse than my PTs because my nerves and my anxiety got the best of me. At one point I couldn't even focus on the test and I was just reading the words on the screen without really understanding them. With this being said, should I cancel my score or is it fine if it is lower than I wanted and should keep it because hopefully I will improve on it on future tests? Would greatly appreciate any feedback

Low to High 170s

Before the August test, I was scoring in the high 160s most of the time, with high scores of 172, 174, and 178. Miraculously, I got a 172 on the August test. This is including going to the restroom during a scored section, so I think I could have done better. I need a higher test score in October or November, but I am so tired. Any advice for making that jump? I want a 177.

Tips for closing the BR gap: low 160s to low 170s

Hello LSAT internet, I have been scoring consistently around the low 160s, last 3 PTs were 164/163/163 with blind review scores in the low 170s (170/172/174)

With a few weeks to the September test, what's the best strategy to try and close that gap?

I use my WAJ religiously, and take a few hours after I've blind reviewed to go over questions I struggled with or got wrong.

Doing about -4 on LR and -5 on RC, but LR is better in timed individual sections -2/-3

TIA!!!

New to 7Sage (Need tips please)

Hi everyone! I've been studying for about 8 months using both Blueprint and LSATDemon and been pt'ing around the mid-high 150s. I just got my August score back and severely underperformed and wanted to try this new platform to see if I can improve! My goal score is a 165 and I really want to use 7Sage to the most I can, so please let me know any tips or tricks you have with this platform. I want to get the most efficient use out of it to reach my goals.

I just scored a 175 on PT158.

I just scored a 175 on PT158.

I saw the post about this new feature and wanted to test it out. I feel pretty good about my LSAT progress so far, I have been working at it for a month or so and this is my fourth or fifth PrepTest I think. The main question/advice I am looking for is how to get past those level 5 difficulty questions? No matter how hard I try, they seem to be guaranteed wrong when I complete the test. Not struggling too much with the other difficulties though.

Live Session database

When are previous live sessions uploaded into the database? Will they continued to be uploaded on the classic.7sage website or will I need to use the new webpage?

Thank you.

Struggling to Tell Premises Apart from Context

I sometimes get tripped up distinguishing between premises and background context. Sometimes I miss a premise because I think it’s just context, and other times I mistake context for a premise. Has anyone else struggled with this? If so, what strategies have helped you get better at telling the difference? I’ve already gone through the explanations in the core curriculum, and it's not really clicking - I’d really appreciate some fresh perspectives.

Cancel my score

Hi! I received a 161 on my first LSAT. I am trying to figure out if I should cancel my score. I have the whole year to study (applying to the 2026 cycle), and aim to get in the 170s. In the eyes of a T-14 school, is a 161 worse or better than a cancellation on my record?

Thanks for guidance!

I am taking my LSAT in November and just recently began studying. I just started the CC and am only 50% through the foundations unit. I have also taken one untimed PT, on which I scored 161. I am aiming for a score of 165+. I feel like I have a decent grasp of LR and completed those sections quite close to the 35 min time limit, but took far longer on the RC. I believe I can increase my LR score significantly with limited studying and practice, but I know that RC will take significant work for me.

Considering my short time frame for preparation (during which I will also be taking a 16 credit semester), does anyone have advice on the best way to approach my study time? Do people recommend completing the CC, or focusing solely on practice tests? Should I spend time on un-timed PT's, or focus only on timed ones?

Thanks for the help!

Hey guys, I just took the August LSAT, and I'm planning on retaking in November. I wanted to know if there was any way I could review my answers on the August test, but I cant seem to find anything. If you've found a way to do it or just want to study together sometime please let me know

Scrap Paper

I wish there was a way when taking the exam to have scrap paper to take notes on. Ideally psychical but I could still settle for virtual. I don't know if I'm the only one struggling otherwise. Whenever I PT with scrap paper/notes, I do significantly better. Test day is around the corner so I'm pretty nervous without accommodations!

Just wondering if anyone else is having the same struggles.

Dying in the Time Box

When I am doing blind review, I perform 300% better - an ACTUAL stat I am tracking with LR.

Something about the clock is truly impacting my judgement on these questions.

When I do timed sections of RC - I can get two passages with 100% accuracy on the questions. Then I have no time to do the other passages.

This is becoming a major point of contention for me in my study journey. HELP!!!

Want to be the fly on the wall of an admissions room and hear how AOs really judge applications?

Join us as a committee of three top AOs (with combined years of experience at Stanford, Berkeley, Northwestern, and Notre Dame) review applications submitted by 7Sage subscribers.

Thursday, September 4th at noon ET! RSVP here: https://7sage.com/classes/evt_030rya8YhRXxg3CwiADQVi

And if you'd like us to consider reviewing your application, you can submit it here:

https://coda.io/form/7Sage-Reviews_d0rAuqNSFhx

We're particularly interested in reviewing fuller applications (with at least a PS and resume.) We're also happy to review previously used apps from potential reapplicants.
