I'm taking the Oct LSAT and the Jan LSAT and right now I'm in my first week of studying and scoring 150 on timed tests. (I've taken 3) This week I am now going to focus on the curriculum and learning the questions and focusing on areas I got wrong to strengthen those areas. But, is it it too ambitious to try to gain a 15-20 point jump by Oct? I've heard a couple stories of people doing it and I know the work I would need to put in. However, I'm just worried I'm putting too much pressure on the Oct LSAT. (I really want to get in through early admissions though.) Any thoughts? Advice? I'll take it all!

Also if you have any stories or need a study buddy I'm available to listen and help :)

Hey everyone,

I am taking the LSAT in September. I have been studying for about two and a half months by now. Since the beginning of August my studies have been more "serious." I have been doing two practice tests & review a week, and timed sections (usually on "target time," which is typically around 30-32 minutes for the recent PT's) from other practice tests on the days in between. My PT scores during this time range from 162-169 (the mean is around 166), my BR scores range from 170-177 (probably average is around 174), and in my timed sections I typically miss between 0 and 4 for each section on RC and LR.

My concern is that my PT scores tend to be lower than my timed section scores. Occasionally I will do very poorly on a single section in the PT, because I get overwhelmed, tired, confused, or frantic during the test. Sometimes I feel this is due to some general burnout, and sometimes this happens because of a perceived lack of time on my part. For example, on my most recent test I got -2, -4, and -8 on the scored sections, and on that last one I ended up running out of time and more or less guessing during the end. On the Blind Review, which I start within an hour and a half or so following the PT, I am able to see the answers clearly.

I'm aware of the issues, but I'm not sure how to safeguard against them when the real test happens. If anyone has any tips regarding stamina (also regarding burnout), I would love to hear them.

Does anyone have advice on how best to use my remaining 15 clean practice tests and move forward with studying for the October LSAT?

Can anyone speak to whether or not performance in the experimental sections is a good / better indicator of performance on the LSAT?

I have been studying for the LSAT since June and I've been putting a lot of hours in (between 15-30 hours a week). I will take one LSAT in September (my first) and one in October.

I have 15 clean practice tests left. My scores are generally trending in the right direction, typically 165-167 with 170 on the blind review. (Target score is a 170 or higher).

I am concerned that my practice test scores are skewed by me remembering answers to questions I've already done or seen. I routinely get -3 on the LR sections which include questions from the curriculum, but between -5 and -8 on the experimental sections which don't seem to have questions included in the curriculum. I also spent a few weeks burning through drills which resulted in 25 untaken practice tests which each have over 30 questions that I have seen.

To be clear, I have 40 untaken practice tests remaining, but ony 15 that are clean. I have only taken the modern prep-tests and none of the obsolete tests.

I am confused on the timing of the writing portion of the exam. What is the deadline associated with the writing portion? Is it something to worry about before or after the actual exam?

Hi,

I was wondering if a small group (around 3-4 people, give or take), would be interested in doing a LR section together? It would be untimed, but we can reason out the questions, talk about the red flags in answer choices, and try to determine the right answer with 100% certainty. My rationale is that I learn when I am trying to explain something to someone else, and it would be great to be able meet likeminded people who also benefit from that type of learning. Anyone, regardless of score can join, as I think that scoring high is great, but being able to teach others shows a whole different mastery that can benefit us all (and you as a participant!).

If there is interest, we can also do an RC section after the LR section!

Best,

Hello Beautiful People, I love to hear success stories and I would love for you to share your journey as your score moved from the 130's to the 150's. I'm currently in the mid 130's, studying full-time, and with Sage plan to move this score to the 150's. How long did it take and what did you do? Thanks!!

I have been studying for months now after taking my LSAT in June and i got 7stage after that test. Ive been following the syllabus, blind reviewing and watching all the videos of ones i got wrong and didnt really understand and im scoring on my two practice test a 142 and 146. I got a 146 on my exam in June and i just want to break 150s for my next exam in October. Im not sure what im doing wrong but i really need help and if anyone has advice that would be greatly appreictaed

If anyone could share their strategy sheet for Logical Reasoning question types, it would be greatly appreciated.

7Sage has a really helpful one in their Reading Comprehension curriculum, but I haven't found one for LR.

Thanks!

Hi all! I'm looking for a study buddy/ group study in western mass. If you're interested, drop your IG/discord/slack (wtv) @. :)

Hi! How would I go about printing drill sets/ prep tests? Thanks!

Is it possible to go from a 143 diagnostic to 165 in 2-3 month timeline, if so any advice? I've already begun studying 8 hours a day

hello. can someone please answer a question regarding the writing part of the LSAT. if you are taking it in September, how long do you have to complete the writing section? I am trying to find clarity on this. Thank you

Hello! I have gone through the syllabus on Parallel Flaw questions and I am still not getting it. On my drills I seem to keep missing those and wasting time trying to solve them. Any tips? Help is much appreciated!

Hi,

I'm wondering how I would go about drilling a full section of LR/RC without using a preptest. This answer has been answered a couple of years ago and it seems like the method/UI has since changed on 7sage. Would I just up the drill size to 25? Would that give me an accurate distributions of 1-5star questions? Need some #feedback #help

Hi everyone!

I'm currently registered for the October LSAT. I've been studying on and off for about 2 months now and I started focusing more last month. I'm currently studying around 5/6 daily. However, I still don't feel confident and/or comfortable with the material. Do you think I should reschedule it for November? Or should I just take it both October and November (I don't mind doing so). Is it enough time to build more confidence and get more comfortable with the test?

I also would love to join/open and study group!

The biggest piece of advice that I've gotten from countless videos regarding RC, is that you have to pretend like you're interested in the RC passages to do well. I didn't understand why I wasn't doing well because I was highlighting and taking notes, so how could I not understand the passage? But when I got down to answering the questions, I was getting a majority of them wrong. It was extremely discouraging, to say the least.

As soon as I started gaslighting myself into giving a damn about the topics discussed in RC, I started seeing improvement. No highlighting things I think are important, no taking notes that I won't even go back to--just pretending like a topic, that I genuinely do not care about, is something super interesting.

The amount of times I think to myself: "wow, that's cool." "oh, I never knew that, how interesting." is the biggest reason why I'm having to refer to the passages less when answering questions.

Engage with the passage, I promise it'll pay off.

In this, the slash / is used as a symbol for negation, but isn't the symbol for negation ¬

Please tell me if I'm wrong or correct?

Is there a way that I can take 2 sections of a PT and br and then take the next two after and br those. I don't like how i have to do all 4 sections before BR because as of right now i am trying to focus on accuracy not timing. Will i just have to make a drill with the two sections and do it that way? or can i make a practice test like that sorry if this is a dumb question

Hey y'all. I was hoping anyone could give me some advice or insight on how to pick a professor to write a letter of rec.

I had already picked my two professors for letters of rec and sent out emails to ask if they could write the letters for me. They are both professors that I was a research assistant for during my time in undergrad. They both got back to me and told me yes, however one of the professors wrote to me that I should also get letters of rec from professors who had me in their classes.

This completely stressed me out because I thought I had my letters of rec all figured out and done but now I'm spiraling and trying to figure out if it will look bad if my two letters of rec are from professors I did research with and were not in their classes.

So I guess overall my question is if it's okay if I have two strong letters of rec from professors I was a research assistant for (and they're both political science professors so within my major, and one of them is the dean of the social science department) or will it look bad that they're not professors who had me in their class.

Thanks!

I’ve been studying for the LSAT since the end of May, I’m taking the September and probably November LSATs, but right now the last thing I want to do is sit down and drill and go through problems and practice tests. I know I’m burnt out but I need to raise my scores, does anyone have advice on how to deal with this?

I don’t know if anyone else this issue but everytime I open the app the landing screen is a blank white screen. I don’t know if this happens to everyone or if there is anything I could do but is there a way that I can configure the settings such that the Home Screen appears instead of an all white / black screen I need to click back on?

I am signed up for the September LSAT, I had originally planned to take the October LSAT but since I won't know my official score until just a couple weeks before the October test, I figured I should wait and take the November LSAT instead so I have more time to study. I am planning on applying for Fall 2025 so applications are either already open or are opening soon. Will waiting to submit my applications until after the November LSAT affect my applicant status/chances for scholarships/chances for getting into a school at all?

7sage why do i keep making new reading passage drills that i recognize from the past???? thats so annoying

hey everyone! I have been studying consistently for about a month and a half and get really sick from stress. I was bumping my score but I entered a stage where whenever I look at the screen I feel tired and nauseous. Worst part is my Pt score and drill scores have gone down too. What can I do?
