I am running out of fresh content, but I frequently get questions I've taken before wrong- regardless if I got it right or wrong before, and it's because I think oh I got it wrong last time bc of this blah blah even if I didn't. I have tried to tell myself don't think about the last time you took this question, when I familiar questions, but it doesn't help, does anyone have advice?

Hey Everyone!

I'm hoping to hear from some people on how to break out of a plateau in the 160 range. I have done like 5 full lengths over the past month and a bit and I keep hovering in the 160-161 range despite me reviewing my mistakes and drilling my weaknesses. Is this a common occurrence? Is there any general advice that can be provided, or is it really dependent on me personally?

I've signed up for the August and October test dates. I am going to use my August attempt as a test run for the format and getting comfortable in the testing centre, and then hopefully my score will closer to 164-165 by the October date. I thought I would be able to hit 165 by August, but this plateau is holding me back and I just can't seem to shake it!

Any help or tips or comments are greatly appreciated. Goodluck to all the other August test takers this week!!!

I FINALLY broke out of the 150s a week before my exam. Honestly started tearing up because I have never scored this high, are there any tips that I should keep in mind before the official test? I feel like I was skipping questions that I found difficult and that really helped me but I am just so happy with this final score.

I see that the NYC LSAC forum lasts for two days. Has anyone ever been to a two-day forum before?

As I only have a few schools on my list, do you think there would be any issues if I visited the same booths on both days?

Can someone find me the link the tool predictor that 7Sage released recently that shows the average number of tests it takes for a user to get to a certain score based on their current score?

I’ve looked everywhere but can’t find it! Thanks!!

Hi! I'm about halfway through the LR curriculum, and I recently started taking one PT every two weeks. My current PT score is 149.

One thing I've noticed is that I put a lot of effort into the first 15 questions of each LR section. By the second half, I start feeling the time pressure, which causes me to rush. There are even some questions I don't get a chance to look at. During my latest PT, I tried prioritizing quality over quantity, focusing on answering fewer questions more accurately rather than rushing through all of them.

Overall, I feel much more confident and composed during the first half of each section, but the second half is a different story. I can recognize question types fairly quickly now, but I still struggle to remember the best strategy for each one. I'm thinking about making flashcards to reinforce those approaches.

For those of you who have been through this stage, I'd really appreciate your advice.

• How did you improve your timing overall? What strategies worked best for you?

• Could you share any tips and habits that made a noticeable difference during your timed PTs?

For context, I study about three hours a day.

Thank you!

Just absolutely bombed PT 157 after 3 weeks in between PT. Went backwards in scoring by 8 points. If anyone has words of encouragement, I would love to hear them. Was not intimidated by the PT this time and felt more comfortable. Just lacked my time on RC, and was not focusing enough LR.

Do drills account for time when giving you scores from 120-180

First time breaking 170 and a big confidence boost on my last PT before August test day--got lucky with the experimental section but I'll take it! I would be thrilled with this on test day. Any tips for carrying this momentum forward over the next week?

I feel like I struggle with RC a lot. I am constantly running out of time on these sections. I want to skip around to the passages that seem easier, but every time I attempt to do this, I don't pick the correct ones and end up spending way too long on a harder one and having not enough time to do more simple ones.

I really don't know how to better improve my RC and I have the test in a week!

Hi y'all!! Just took my last PT before the August LSAT and scored my highest yet-- but still shy of my 170 goal. As you can see, there's a pretty significant gap between actual score and BR, which is consistent with almost every PT I take.

Does anyone have advice for closing the gap between actual score and BR?? I don't know whether to attribute it to test fatigue or the fact that I take way longer on my weakest question types (conditional reasoning nerfs me). Any advice from people who have scored similarly/gotten over this hurdle would be much appreciated!

Good luck to everyone taking the August LSAT, I believe in us!! :)

How do I stop doing shit like this? It looks like I like to do this get my results and then just stare out of the window for a few minutes.

Just asking for some tips! Taking it on the 6th scoring anywhere from 159-161, any tips to maybe jump it up by a point or two before the test?

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for an experienced tutor to help me push past a stubborn plateau. My current average is a 164 (highest PT: 165), and my goal is to break 170+ for the September exam.

I already have a strong background in the foundations and spend a lot of time doing targeted drilling and in-depth reviews of my wrong answers. However, I’m consistently getting stuck in a few specific ways:

• Logical Reasoning: I consistently narrow it down to the correct answer and one distractor, and then overthink and talk myself into the wrong choice. I also frequently eliminate the correct answer because it feels like it makes too much of an assumption.

• Reading Comprehension: My main struggle here is just parsing dense text and misunderstanding the nuances of the passage or the questions.

• General: Regardless of the question type, I sometimes struggle with parsing confusing language, and there are always a few questions where I second-guess my way out of the right answer.

I don't need to relearn the basics; I need someone who can get into my head, correct my thought process for eliminating trap answers in LR, and help me parse RC more effectively.

If you have experience helping students bridge this specific mid-160s gap, please DM me with your rates and availability!

After your writing portion of the LSAT is processed, are you able to read what you wrote?

Hi everyone, I underestimated my personal statement and can't come up with any good, interesting topics. I wanna write about why I would be a good fit for law school, but so far I don't like what I have. If anyone has experience with writing PS and can read mine and give feedback, that would be great. Just looking for someone else's perspective on it because I'm unsure.

They changed the font in LawHub!

Last week:

TODAY:

****

We've updated our tester to match the font you'll see on test day. If you find the text too small, change the font size with "Accessibility options" in the right toolbar. LSAC's default is Large (125%).

Just wanted to say that I'm really grateful to 7sage for giving free access to fee-waiver students. There is no way I would've been able to afford and study the curriculum without 7sage's kindness. You have no idea how much of an impact this makes for us lower-income test takers. I'm forever indebted to 7sage and my GOATS, J.Y. and Kevin 🫶🫶🫶

Been at this studying thing for almost a year and finally seeing progress now that I've slowed myself down and started doing untimed. I think timing will always be an issue for me, but hopefully less big of a deal come November.

Hi I have been studying since January and I recently started taking PTs in July. Ive recently been focusing more on reading comprehension so I was expecting a little dip in my LR score, so the first section didn't surprise me at all. Im just surprised that I got 9 wrong in the final section, I was thinking this could be a stamina issue since I usually get 4-6 wrong per section. It felt like nothing was clicking and I kept re reading the same sentence multiple times on the last section. I've scored 161 on my last three PTs and usually that is because most of the misses are in RC. I thought if I fixed my RC issue then I can reach my goal of 165 but now I think my issue is stamina possibly?

Any tips to keep your brain just as engaged through all sections?

people who started in early 140s, how many points did you increase after 3- 4 months of studying if you studied 3-5 hours a day

I am planning on taking my first LSAT in November. I am 4 days away from finishing the foundations and was wondering if it was worth it to focus on the lessons or to prioritize drilling? I am getting worried that I am falling behind by spending too much time in one area.

I'm taking the LSAT next week and am praying that this energy follows me (and if it doesn't, that's okay! I've registered for Sept too). I would genuinely be so happy with a 165. Manifestation!!!

I have a question about drilling and long-term LSAT preparation.

I started using 7sage two weeks ago. Before that, I honestly knew almost nothing about how the LSAT worked. I had no understanding of conditional reasoning, the different question types, or the way the exam tests reasoning.

My diagnostic score was 135, but English is not my first language, so I think that score reflected both my lack of LSAT knowledge and the language barrier.

Right now I’m simply following the 7Sage study plan from the beginning. After each lesson, I complete the associated drills. Lately, I’m usually getting only 2/3 out of 5 questions correct, and then I spend a long time reviewing every question and every answer choice. I feel like I learn much more from the review than from the actual drilling.

My concern is that I probably won’t be taking the LSAT for at least another year. Since English isn’t my first language, I know my preparation will likely take much longer than average because I’m learning both the LSAT and advanced English reading skills at the same time.

I’m worried that by the time I’m ready to start doing lots of timed sections and full PrepTests, I’ll have already worked through most of the available questions. Because I review each question so thoroughly, I often remember the correct answer for weeks afterward. I’m afraid that when I come back to those questions later, I’ll remember the answer instead of reasoning through it, so the drills won’t be as useful.

How do people who study for a year or even longer usually handle this?

Should I continue following the study plan and doing all the drills without worrying about “using up” questions? Or should I be saving a large number of PrepTests and drill questions for the later stages of my preparation?

I’d really appreciate hearing how people who had a long study timeline approached this.

Thank you!
