This was my first full length prep test since my diagnostic in May, and I was so surprised by these results! Granted, I did skip the experimental section from being pretty exhausted today, which probably helped with my energy and concentration on the subsequent scored sections. Hoping to work on building stamina with more PTs, but feeling great about the progress!

Much love to the core curriculum <3

Hi!

It would be so nice if we could create drills that include questions from a variety of different Statuses for the same drill.

For example:

Making a 20 Question Drill that includes a variety of "Fresh" questions as well as "Incorrect on Last Take".

or

Making a 20 Question Drill that includes "Incorrect on Last Take" as well as "Incorrect more than Once"

I feel this would really assist with my studying and drilling questions that I've gotten incorrect, while also being able to throw in some new ones in the mix. As sometimes the "pool" of questions for a single Status is relatively small, so it would be nice to be able to do longer drills that could incorporate multiple categories.

Anybody else feel this would help their studying?

I think it would be super helpful if we were able to filter the incorrect answers for drilling by oldest answered. It often happens with me that when I reattempt previously missed questions in drills, I get ones that I recently missed and therefore remember the answer so I cannot actually reattempt the question by working through the logic. I know some studiers only study for a few months before taking the LSAT and ending their time with 7Sage but for users who study for 6+ months I think this filter will be very useful because the chance of remember older questions from a year ago are slim. Thanks!

Normally, I don’t study with music, but I have decided to try it. While on the train studying, I listen to music. I know to not listen to music while doing timed practice tests or timed sections. What about music while doing untimed drills? Music while doing timed drills? What about music when reading/reviewing foundationals?

Music seems to improve my focus by helping me somewhat better zone out . But I don’t want to depend on it/bad crutch habit that then affects me when I don’t have the music during PTs/sections.

Someone in the LSAT community did bring up a good point that music could be there as I build good logical thinking and by the time I rip away the music I would have these good logical habits so the lack of music wouldn’t affect me.

Thoughts on music while studying and when I should and shouldn’t listen?

Hi all,

My undergraduate degree was in astrophysics, so with the exception of coding, I am used to taking all my notes on paper. I know this is the best way for me to retain and visualize information. However, I am on the fence about switching from physical to digital notetaking for law school.

Does anyone have any experience, reflection, or advice about this transition? Pros and cons maybe? My understanding is that law school will require a lot of reading case studies etc which would obviously be easier to annotate digitally than print out. But what about general 1L notes?

Thank you for any feedback! Best of luck to all of you with studying <3

Looking to start a West Virginia study group! I am in Charleston.

I have a 2.8 GPAm very low but I definitely want to go to law school, I am looking into Touro and Hofstra but is it even worth trying with my low GPA score, even if I aim for 170 on the lsat? Or is there anything else I can do to offset my low GPA. Should I consider grad school?

Anyone based in Beijing Time wanna study together. Just started LSAT prep, aiming for 175+ and will be in China for the summer. This can be virtual or in-person, I'm based in ShenZhen!

My highest score is a 149 and I went down in a practice test to a 145. I didn't do all of the blind review for it and just kinda burnt out for today. I think my biggest issue is that I am in the middle of meditation fluctuations that affect my brain and I may be studying too much. I was studying for 5-6hrs a day, no break days other than holidays. I plan on taking the August test and the September test. Should I work on my study schedule? Change my August test to November instead? Or just give myself some days off? It seems like I am struggling with RC foundations, but I seem to grasp the LR foundations ok. I am trying to get at least to 160-165

I've been studying for several months, and my scores have been consistent in the high 160s for the past month. However, in the past 2 weeks I have been scoring in the 150s and cannot seem to figure questions out. I am taking the LSAT in August but with this dip in scores, I am concerned I won't be able to be ready to go. Has this happened to anyone? Any tips to get out of this slump?

Do you think it's better to include questions you got correct, but spent too much time on, in blind review? I find it makes me second guess whether my answer was right. I end up trying to justify answer choices which I was sure were incorrect.

How do you use blind review? Any tips for making the most out of blind review?

Hi, would you all recommend doing the experimental sections in the PT or skip over for time efficiency? Is there a benefit to this I may not be seeing?

Hi y'all,

I'll be applying to law schools this Fall and I'm currently in preparation mode with my personal statement, essays, and resume. I'm currently using 7Sage's School Data portal as my main resources for finding what all I need to prepare to include in my applications. How much do law school change their applications year over year? I'm preparing early because I have a quite busy month of August with work, and want to be ready to submit applications come September.

Also, when will 7Sage switch their cycle from 2025-26 to 2026-27? Will what I have starred/saved remain?

Thanks everyone. Best of luck!

So i'm currently PTing in the mid 150s. Just a year ago my diagnostic was a 138. However now it's time to break into the 160s. Any tips on how I can pass the 150s?

We now have a new "Diagram?" tag. This identifies questions our tutors would consider diagramming. The "?" is to show that there's no one-size-fits-all answer to when and exactly what to diagram. So don't take the tag to mean that you have to or should diagram those questions; that's the wrong message. But we've found that many students wanted to isolate questions that are particularly heavy on conditional logic within the broader set of questions tagged Conditional Reasoning. This tag is a good way to get at those questions.

I know that when you first link your 7Sage and LawHub Advantage, it imports your PrepTests. Is there a way to input PrepTests taken on LawHub Advantage after that first time? I recently took a Preptest on LawHub and would prefer not to have to "retake" it just for the analytics--which wouldn't be accurate anyways, at least timing wise.

Any ideas?

Any advantages or disadvantages of taking the exam in person on a Wednesday versus a Friday? I get distracted easily, so I'm thinking Wednesday could be less busy and therefore a better option, but I'm curious to hear thoughts from folks before I register tonight. Thanks!

Guys, how do you get your mind clear for the pre-test? I am going through a hard time right now, and I just have lots of annoying and bad thoughts at the back of my mind constantly, and I just can't seem to ever get them out of my mind, especially during a preptest. I think it greatly impairs my ability to perform to my full potential. Any tips you use?

There may be a way to do this that I have not figured out yet, but I would love to highlight and annotate lessons as I go through them. It helps me comprehend what I read better and would make it easier to find important parts if I bookmark lessons to return to them.

New to studying LSAT. Noticed that some LR problems involve stimuli that are deliberately flawed/weak/invalid and their question stems mostly (not always) refer to those issues. I understand this.

However, should RC passages be assumed not to contain such deliberate flaws? If there are criticisms of a second perspective by the author, that is given. However, we should not be keeping a skeptical view of the author's view/reasoning as if we are keeping an eye out for a flaw in his/her reasoning that we might be questioned on?

I would love it if there was a way to see how much time I spent on 7sage on a given day. Could even be divided by how much time spent doing sections, drills, or full prep tests, as well as an other section for video/course refreshes. It would make it way easier to hold myself accountable with time spent studying each day since the study blocks aren’t modifiable and I often don’t complete it exactly as laid out.

Hi!

I want to have some advice on my study method.

My PT score(timed) is between 155-160 and my BR score is usually 173-177.

I've been studying from this February, and I took June LSAT, still waiting for my score.

Regardless of the June score, I'm aiming to take it again in October and I really want to see my BR score in the real test.

The problem is, I don't feel I'm improving that much and not sure what should I do from now on. What helped you the most to minimize the score gap between your actual score and BR score? Will doing more timed practice help?

I was doing mostly timed section and review+wa journal after. Should I switch to untimed mode?

I'm def doing WA journal and I feel like I do understand everything, until I take a timed PT😭

Hey Everyone! Just a brief mention of the admissions classes that we're offering at 7Sage this week. Given that it's an LSAT Release Week, we have a little more going on than usual!

• We'll also have our normal weekly AMA on Wednesday at 1PM Eastern. We're looking forward to getting a lot of LSAT questions there, too!

Full schedule, details, and registrations here!

Hello! My name is Mickey and I started tutoring recently with the goal of 1) making tutoring more accessible, especially for fee-waiver applicants, and 2) teaching the fundamentals of logical reasoning to help students who are passionate about becoming lawyers but for whom logical reasoning might not come easily to. My interest in doing this was borne out of helping my brother and a friend of mine, both of whom the second bullet point applies to, combined with the fact that I really enjoy the logical reasoning problems on the LSAT, and I also really enjoying 1-on-1 teaching. Finding enjoyment in studying for this test is the reason I am applying to law school, and I want to share my approach to these problems with you!

Most of my sessions with current students involve walking through sets of problems where I listen to my student's approach and then share mine, emphasizing any takeaways that the student can apply to similar situations in the future. Often, we go in-depth on only a handful of problems throughout a session, focusing on accuracy and critical analysis instead of speed.

The tutoring I am offering is primarily for students whose goal is to score in the 160s and are currently testing anywhere below that. If your goal is to score higher, I may also be able to be of help. I believe that mastering the fundamentals of LR makes this goal very, very doable, no matter your starting point. For more information about my philosophy, approach, and credentials, please check out my website! Here it is: https://www.fundamentlr.com

Otherwise, feel free to comment and I will DM you, send me a DM, or check my website for my phone number & email. Looking forward to working with you!

Hi all! I'm Kerry, and I'm currently taking students for the August 2026 LSAT and beyond.

I'm a magna cum laude J.D. graduate of Michigan Law, and I also have an M.A. in Law from Yale University. After leaving BigLaw and transitioning into parenthood, I began tutoring the LSAT full-time in 2015. I've helped hundreds of students gain admission to dozens of law schools all around the U.S. and Canada. I have also contracted with multiple law schools and undergrad instiutions to teach or tutor LSAT prep, especially through their diversity pipeline programs. Moreover, I actively tutor law students and bar exam prep and have taught First Amendment and Media Law as a law school adjunct professor.

My emphasis is on true comprehension--there is simply no substitute for truly understanding what is being asked of you, what your job is, and how to do that job. I endeavor to break down the thought processes that high scorers engage in, step by step, so that you can progress quickly and consistently.

I live in the Detroit area, Eastern time zone, and I tutor five days a week (Tuesdays and Saturdays are my days off). I keep a wide range of hours to make myself available to students across various time zones, but I prefer to work between 9 a.m. Eastern and 10 p.m. Eastern. At the moment, my widest availability is Fridays and Sundays, though I have a few spots on other days.

My preferred session length is 90 minutes, though I'm happy to work with you if you have a preference for shorter or longer. My base rate is $120 per hour ($180 for a single 90-minute sessions), and I do offer package discounts of up to 20% off for a package of 20 sessions or more). Other discounts are available for smaller packages.

Please reach out to me at kerry@lsatmaven.com and mention that you found me on 7Sage!
