I have been dealing with moderate depression and anxiety for several years before I ever started preparing for the LSAT. My symptoms began during my senior year of high school, and over the years they have improved with long-term medication. I am generally able to manage my daily life now, but I still experience periods when stress becomes overwhelming. During occasional preparing days, I experience intense anxiety symptoms, such as a very fast and persistent heartbeat and trouble concentrating. I also have long-standing sleep problems, which may contribute to some of these symptoms. Outside of studying, I try to maintain my mental health through activities that help me recover emotionally, such as attending concerts, watching films, and going to live shows. I’m curious whether anyone here has gone through something similar. How do you handle daily anxiety and depression? I would really appreciate hearing about your experiences and any strategies. Thank you.
Hi everyone. I am really striving to go to Duquesne Law School. I have a 3.84 GPA and I have been scoring on practice tests between 153-155. I take the official LSAT on August 7, but I am starting to panic that this range is not going to be enough to get me into Duquesne. Any advice or suggestions?
Tips for getting better at RC? This is the first full test I've taken, and I've only worked on studying LR.

I was wondering if anyone would be willing to join a Christ-centered study group? You don't have to be a Christian to join. As I continue to get ready for the LSAT in November, I was hoping to find a group of people I could study with who shared similar interests. It would be great to have a group that could study together, share LSAT goals, hold each other accountable, give each other tips and motivation, and share the Word. Please let me know if you're interested. I was also thinking of creating a Discord too, but I don't want to get too ahead of myself. If you are interested, please let me know. All are welcome!
For me parallel flaw/reasoning is one of my weakest question categories on the lsat not because I cannot solve them, I'm just very slow. I am so slow that when I encounter one on a section or preptest I am better off guessing and skipping rather than wasting the little time I have on it. When I do drills where I have unlimited time I think generally I get them right 80-90% of the time.
My current approach is to diagram the stimulus out on paper and then check each answer choice to see if it matches the structure and form of the stimulus. It's especially tricky for me when the form of the stimulus and correct AC are different because I have a hard time abstracting in my head.
I've been trying to improve by drilling more. I do something like 5 questions at a time medium to hardest difficulty with unlimited time. I think I've gotten better at getting these questions right, but not any better at improving my speed.
Does anyone have advice/tips?
I am confident in my LR ability with getting -1 and -2 multiple times on PTs and section practices. HOWEVER, RC is bringing my score down so so much. I am supposed to take the August exam in a week. What can I do to improve my RC?
I feel so good while doing RC, but then I get -10 wrong. I don't know what to do.
Pleaseeee we need an option to print out drills for paper accoms. Drills I'm doing kind of bad on and I think this is why. Test is in September please roll this out asap😭
For context, I signed up to take the June LSAT in congruence with graduating undergrad this past May. I didn't have anytime to really study and with the expensive nature of the exam, I went and took it anyway with low expectations of course. I scored a 150 which is exactly where I though it would be tbh. Since then, I have started a full time job and studied as much as I can with the timing of work and while its definitely going to take more of an effort on my part, I'm overall just feeling burnt out and slightly scared for this next exam I scheduled. I am not doing amazing on my practice drills and I am personally aiming in the 160-165 range. I know its possible, I'm just having a hard time with it all. I really want to apply this app cycle but I'm having this sinking feeling I may have to put it off another year all because of this score.
long story short....I'm in shambles.
I've been trying to complete a BR for a section I took yesterday, but the page won't finish loading. I can't select highlighting options, switch questions, or see the questions recommended for BR. I thought it was a me issue, but I've tried reloading the page, closing out of Chrome, restarting my computer, using incognito mode, and even using another browser. This has been an ongoing issue for at least the last 4 hours.
Not sure how to fix this and not sure whether it's just on my side or an issue with 7Sage's website, but help would be much appreciated since I'm taking the LSAT in a week and was kinda hoping to study...
Ok, as I was about to press send, the highlighter mode started working, but now I'm having another issue: if I highlight things in one colour, but then switch to another, everything previously highlighted disappears... Also, I still can't select other questions. PLS HELP thanks!
The September LSAT offers a timing accommodation of 1.25x time (I'm not sure if this has been offered in the past but it is offered in September). The accommodation options in settings only offer 150% time and 200% time. I can manually enter 125% for each practice test and drill, but will there be an option to change my settings to 125% time? Thanks!
Hello! Looking for a virtual tutor that does not charge excessively. Testing at 151, aiming for 165.
Hello all! I am to take the LSAT in August, but I plan to take it once more regardless of my score. I have been studying this summer and can say I have made lots of improvements. When I took my first ever diagnostic, I scored a 137! My highest PT was a 160 which I took back in late July or so. My goal score is a 170. I took close to a week off of studying and am doing not as good at my PT. I got a 151 or 155 on my latest PT. This is extremely frustrating and scary because it feels like I have regressed in a span of a week. It has been two days in a row where I get -12 or -11 on a LR or RC section.
Has anyone experienced a fluke or lapse in their progress while on their LSAT journey?
During a timed practice section, I sometimes forget I need to lock in and go, and end up not having enough time for 2-3 questions- just me? While on a full timed PT or just most of the timed practice in general I am able to answer every question with enough time. However, because I know it doesn't count against me I guess my subconscious kicks in and says, "its not a PT or the real thing, no pressure don't worry."
Just curious if this ever happens to others, its not common for me but once or twice a month I've noticed it. I also haven't taken a off day for a long time...
Mostly just looking for someone to chat with about LSAT questions, and to check in on days of scheduled study to make sure we're keeping each other accountable. Open to reviewing questions together and stuff like that as well! No score requirement or anything. I'm planning to take Sept, with Oct as my backup, and currently scoring low 160s, with a goal of 167+. If interested feel free to shoot a message or drop a comment =]
Quick question: on the actual test- is there a time/clock on the top right for all sections??
Also, side question. If you have to use the bathroom what happens....?
Am I missing something or is there no back button, at least on the app? I’ve been studying on my phone as well as reading discussion board posts, and it is frustrating to have to go to the top sections to get back to the page I was on beforehand (yes I know, the speed of modern technology has spoiled me). Is there a button I’m just missing or is this not a thing?
Hi, I'm using the default PT, Section, Drill availability presets on 7Sage. I'm just confused specifically about how many PTs I should try to preserve for testing vs. sections? I feel like I'm short on PTs and Sections but I still have like 1900 LR drill questions and 172 RC passages for drills which seems excessive compared to what I have allocated for PTs and Sections. Additionally, I've taken PTs 141 (diagnostic), 118, 119, and 128, and it says my next one up is PT148. But that would be skipping over PTs 120-123 which are all 97% fresh? Should I take those as PTs first before I jump to PT 148?
Just confused and might be overthinking if I messed something up or not. Any advice is appreciated!
Hi everyone!
My name is Isak – I improved from a 153 diagnostic to a 173 on the official April 2026 test.
I currently offer tutoring at a base rate of $40/hour. Discounts are available with packages – or if you have a fee waiver. I also offer a free initial consultation. Drop me a DM!
We could be a good fit if:
- You’re not sure where to attack certain LR arguments;
- Your accuracy holds up untimed and drops with the clock on;
- RC is your weakest section and you’re not sure how to approach it;
- English is your second language.
This test is built to confuse you, and each section does it differently. LR packs everyday logic into structures meant to obscure it. On RC, the issue isn't reading ability – it's reading for content instead of structure. RC was my own biggest gain, from -15 on my first PT to -1/-2 by the end.
My approach:
- Stripping an LR argument to its attackable logic before you touch the choices;
- Reading RC for structure, so the questions become lookups against a map you already built;
- Learning at the right level: targeted drill sets, challenging but never more than you can take on at once.
About me:
I’m a foreign lawyer – I already have an LLB in English law, and an LLM in international trade law, both awarded with top honors. Besides tutoring I am an international law researcher and have published several works in journals. English is my second language after Norwegian, and I also speak Russian.
All the best,
Isak
Hi everyone! My name is Lorenzzo, and I’m currently scoring around the mid-160s on my practice tests, with the goal of reaching the 170s. I’m taking both the August and September LSATs, and I’d love to form a serious study group.
I’m looking for people who want to hold each other accountable, review mistakes together, compare different approaches to questions, and learn from one another’s reasoning. I think having a consistent group would help all of us identify weaknesses, stay motivated, and improve together.
Feel free to comment or message me if you’re interested!
The few classes I've been to led by Mikey were some of the most rewarding and productive classes I've taken in my entire LSAT and college career. His advice before my April exam truly changed my mindset and helped me more than I could have ever expected. First of all, thank you, Mikey! Second, I would LOVE to see him teach more classes!
I've been studying for the lsat the past year. I also applied this past cycle and unfortunately only made the waitlist of 2 schools which are likely to pan out in R's. I felt somewhat optimistic applying as I am a super reverse splitter. Near perfect CGPA and 15low LSAT. I'm beyond frustrated as it feels that I cannot grasp a fundamental understanding of the LSAT and makes me question my own intelligence and whether the legal field is really for me :/
