I feel mentally stuck and like I’m holding myself back from taking practice tests. I think I’m avoiding them because I’m nervous—I’ve been studying and drilling, but it doesn’t feel like it’s fully clicking yet. Because of that, I keep telling myself I shouldn’t take timed tests (or even full practice tests at all) until I completely understand why I’m getting questions wrong and can clearly see the patterns.

Has anyone dealt with this? How do you push past that hesitation?

I’m also trying to memorize simple phrases to guide my approach for each question type so I don’t freeze up in the moment. Does anyone have fun or effective ways to make those stick?

Hey guys, how do I differentiate "infer" vs "properly infer" in LR? I understood "infer" to mean Most Strongly Supported and "properly infer" to mean Must Be True. Am I right here?

Looking for a tutor that can help me out of the high 140s to 165 at least. Someone who’s willing to work with a struggling college student. I can’t pay the amount of 30,40,60 dollars a session knowing where I’m starting, I’ll have a lot of sessions I’ll have to book before achieving my set score.

I just wanted to say I was extremely worried when I first started studying (jan1) that I would not have enough time to get a good score come April, and granted I obviously haven't taken the real thing, but I went from a 148 diagnostic (jan1) to a 169 PT (today ehehe) and I'm over the moon. I just wanted to post this for non trad applicants. I am 24, a veteran, have three children 1,3, and 4. My 4 year old being non verbal and having level 3 autism, but I was still able to get to a place where Im comfortable with my score (thanks to my amazing husband). Idk I'm so happy and wish I could just tell my day one self that I was gonna be fine. Good luck April testers!

Long shot, but anyone in the Tucson, AZ area want to get together for some home stretch studying for the April exam? I'd love to take practice tests / sections with people and talk out reasoning in the evenings or on the weekends.

My value add is that I'm averaging around 175 in PTs, but am notorious for getting 2 or 3 star questions wrong for the ones I do miss. So we probably have a lot to teach each other no matter where you are in your journey, lol.

Hmu!!

Our smart drills always targeted the question types you need to work on most. Now they also adjust to your skill level as you take them.

You'll also see a new "Adaptive" option when you customize your drill. We use it by default.

Try a smart drill now.

(You can also find the "Smart Drill" button on your dashboard).

And please tell us what you think!

I just scored a 162 on PT154. Any tips/best practices on going about reviewing PTs?

4 months late to @J.Y.Ping 's YouTube video on posting these to discussion form, but riding this high. It's the motivation I needed. Good things are happening in 2026. Wishing everyone good study vibes as we round out the end of the month!

Hi all, I am working on making a switch to a new career. I'd love to be in touch with other "non-traditional" students to share our unique experience. Is there such a group already?

Lydia spent two months studying 6 hours a day — core curriculum, live classes, drilling — and her score didn't budge. Alex explains why a flat score isn't a sign of failure, how to structure your study schedule at different stages of prep, and why blind review scores matter more than your PT score right now. If you're feeling stuck or discouraged, this one's for you.

I am wondering if what Kevin teaches in his RC lessons actually can be done fast. I know he addressed this in one of his videos, but right now, it feels like it will be impossible for me to read a passage while doing all of the steps (low-res, perspectives, predicting next paragraph & after passage steps) all under timed conditions. I would really love to get there, but I'm wondering if anyone out there (who isn't exceptionally gifted in reading to begin with) actually achieved all the steps under timed conditions. In short: is this even possible?

Thanks!!

hi! how do you handle fatigue, especially if you receive extra time? it gets harder to retain information and think due to brain fog! maybe tips when you find yourself succumbing to brain fog during the actual test and also what to do during the 10 min break!

Hey all- I did PT.141.S2 yesterday and I was wanting to do an in-depth review for my wrong answers journal. However, my results still have not transferred to 7Sage. Anyway to fix this?

Do we keep the header on every page or just the first page? Also, I have everything in 12 point times new roman but is there any other formatting things I should do such as margins, etc?

Hi all! I am looking for help/detailed instructions for adding a recommender to my LSAC account. A past professor told me I can add them as a recommender on my account. I began the process once and seemed to have no issue, but then had to get some follow up information. Now, in my LSAC account, I simply cannot figure out how to just add a recommender without paying for the CAS registration. It feels a bit early to pay for that -- I'm not planning on applying until next fall and I don't want to deal with that right now I just want to add this professor. I am 99 percent sure there is a way to add a recommender without paying for CAS yet, but every time I try I get routed on the website to my LSAC shopping cart and am prompted to pay for CAS registration. Any tips?

Did anyone have an aha moment for these, I can't figure out how to differentiate main conclusion from the summary type ACs

Hey all!! I just recently started really locking in on the LSAT (for 2-3 weeks now). I am planning on taking it in August but hoping to maybe also take it in June (haven't decided yet). I feel so stressed because I feel like I was really understanding the content more, but I don't feel I have seen any improvement. Anyone else feel this way? I was curious if maybe my studying could be improved as I am also worried about burnout. I am trying to do a test/week by doing 3 sections spread out throughout the week, with a day after the section to review mistakes, learn from them, and then drill ( a method I learned from a 180 scorer youtuber). In addition to this, I am following my "balanced" 7Sage study plan and doing the lessons each day, along with 2-4 drill sets of 5. I study for about 4 hours daily, usually. I am really hoping to get to a 175+- anyone have any critiques or suggestions? Also, is my panic and anxiety based in reality or my OCD?????

Struggling with Reading Comprehension—even when you understand the passage? In this episode, @AlexJacobs breaks down one of the most frustrating RC problems: answer choices that all look the same.

If you’ve ever been stuck between two “jargony” answers or felt lost on inference questions, this is for you.

We cover:

    1. Why understanding the passage is already most of the battle

    2. How to attack confusing, abstract answer choices

    3. The “disqualifier” method for eliminating wrong answers fast

    4. What to do when you’re stuck between two nearly identical choices

    5. How to approach inference questions with confidence

The big takeaway: your job isn’t to find the right answer—it’s to kill the wrong ones. If RC feels overwhelming, this episode will simplify your process and help you focus only on what actually matters.

Does anyone have Bailey's PDF she drops from her Spot the Gap lessons? It looks super dope but I have unfortunately missed it the last couple times and have been dying to get a hold of it for review. So if anyone has it and could email it to me or drop a link in chat, it would be greatly appreciated:)

Hi all,

Hope everyone is doing well :)

I'm just starting my LSAT journey with 7Sage and was wondering if anyone has a recommended study guide or work plan! {ie, Monday drill tests, Tuesday watch lectures, etc.}

Any advice, etc.

Thanks & best of luck to all

Happy studying !!

Hi,

I haven't seen any post about Houston study groups so, I decided to put this out there and see if there's anyone out there in Houston looking for a study partner(s) hopefully! I am planning on taking the September LSAT. We can do Zoom or meet in person whatever everyone prefers.

I'm moving on. I studied and improved my score. It was hard work. I got into my school. It's weird how I want to keep studying. I know I should take this opportunity to attend. I'm little conflicted because if I studied more and got higher score could apply for a reach school next year. But I think I should be happy as I worked hard. Good luck everyone.

Looking for a serious study buddy! I don’t mind if you’re a beginner as long as you’re serious and committed to this test. It would be nice to work with someone who’s willing to keep each other accountable.

I'm interested in hearing from people on how they go about doing their wrong answers journals. Do you find it helpful? Do you go back and read it? What's your process? I'm looking to start doing this after prep tests, but I want to know how to do it effectively. Thanks!

Looking for a study partner or partners in the East Bay (Or Bay Area in general)! Just finished the CC and looking to take LSAT in June or August and want to find some people to work with and share strategies and ideas.
