I am a 56 y/o (yes, I had to go back and count 😊), military retiree, working on my 3rd career and taking the LSAT. My vet friends would say, “padding the obituary” a bit.

There are many of you that are worried about your scores and how to increase. You are doing great! I would love to be where you are at that age, but life took other turns.

Take a deep breath, and land where you land. A great career awaits you on the other end.

If there are others out there that are coming in at a higher-than-average age, I’d like to know how you are coming along? I’m not going to lie, this is hard to sort through the “logic” and after a career of “bottom line up front” writing, I’m having a hard time figuring out what the questions are really asking.

Any input or words of encouragement are welcome.

I was wondering if anyone would be interested in regularly going through 3-5 star CausR and CondR questions. I have bee stuck at ~170 for a while now because of them and was hoping that maybe just talking to someone might help raise both our scores.

I live in the Phx area, so I guess most interaction would be digital.

Thank you for your time and I hope you have a great day!

Hi!

I am studying for the January 2026 test and was wondering if anyone wanted to start a study group. I work full-time but go to the library or study at home after work and on weekends.

I am down to do practice sections together or even just be an accountability buddy to study next to.

I am open to both virtual and in-person!

Hi all - looking for some motivated study buddies currently PTing in the 155 - 165 range looking to break through 170 by Nov.

I am on east coast time (DC-area) and my consistent study windows are 5am - 7am and 8pm - 9pm during the week, flexible on the weekends.

I envision we could:

  • Select a drill set to work on in-between meet-ups and blind review together

  • Complete entire sections and blind review solo, then come together to review outstanding questions we have / provide our own explainers to one another

  • Work through some problem sets real time

Let me know what you think! We've got this! We can do hard things! If interested- please message me direct for further coordination.

PS: Not that it matters, but so you know what to expect, I am a 35F with a full-time job and kids.

Maybe Just Maybe

Peace Everyone,

I’m new to the 7Sage community and currently preparing for the January LSAT. I’m looking to form or join a dedicated, accountability-based study group with other motivated test takers.

The idea is to meet once a week to study together, discuss strategies, review tough questions, and keep each other on track. Whether you’re just getting started or already deep into your prep, let’s help each other stay focused and improve.

If you're interested, feel free to send me a private message or reply to this post. Let’s put in the work and get the score we deserve!

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for an accountability buddy or study partner to help stay consistent and motivated while preparing for the LSAT. My goal is to get around 175 and I’m currently scoring around 155s.

I’d love to connect with someone who is serious about improving, whether that’s checking in daily/weekly, sharing study plans, or even doing timed sections together over Zoom/Discord.

If you’re also looking for accountability and support, feel free to reply here or message me directly—we can figure out a schedule that works for both of us!

Good luck to everyone studying!

Hi! I'm working full time and trying to maximize my studying, as I am taking the exam in November. My first timed diagnostic with no prior understanding of the test was 154 and then scored a 161 on a PT followed by a 155 on the next PT (I've been in it for only about a week). Since I have only 8 weeks to try and get into the high 160s, the goal would be a 171, I am looking for advice on how best to use this platform. From some reading, and exploring it sounds like best bet is to just drill, drill, drill and take PTs. Or, do you recommend going through some of the core curriculum? Has that helped people grasp questions they were missing? Because of my work, I'll only be able to dedicate 2 hours about 4 days a week and then one PT on the weekend.

I've been stuck at 154-160 for the past 2 months, but I'm determined to get out of it. I got a tutor, I've been reading the Loophole, I'm changing some of my strategies, I'm revisiting certain lessons, I took a week off, etc.

It would just be nice to hear from anyone who has gotten out of a plateau. It's possible, right? And what did you do differently to improve your understanding/execution of test questions?

Hi! looking for some advice. in the past month and a half, i've scored 180, 180, 179, 173, 175, 171, 171. I feel like I've been studying just as hard and focusing on my weaknesses in the same way that brought me to those high initial scores. I'm not sure what I'm doing differently to account for the drop. I haven't been particularly stressed or overwhelmed, and nothing major has changed in my lifestyle. Maybe the PTs in the late 130s were just easier for me than the ones I'm taking in the 140s?

Has anyone experienced something similar, and do you have any advice? My test is in a month and I'd like to reach my full potential again.

I had the worst situation happen yesterday. I was taking the test on my Microsoft Surface Pro (looking back I probably should have realized not the best system). I had run all the system checks and passed. I logged on to take my test and my computer froze when I went to do the ID verification. I still had a few minutes so I rebooted and relogged in. I got through the room scan just fine and they popped up the chat box. Before I had time to tell them that I couldn't write in the chat box they put me in a breakout room waiting for the new proctor.

The new proctor came in and I couldn't see what they were typing in the chat box. I told them I couldn't see it and that I couldn't type in the chat box. They opened up the LSAC system and I logged on but nothing showed a test or what to do. I was asking the proctor to come off mute, repeating that I couldn't see their chat or type in the chat. I started messing around in the LSAT tab trying to find the test (probably not a good idea, but I was panicking). I hung up, freaked out a lot, calmed down and called LSAC and told them what happened.

I am rescheduled for the October exam and have asked for it to be in person, but no guarantee that there will be a testing center in my area. So I went out and bought an actual laptop.

I am still worried that I have missed something and do not know where to go to find the test and could have the same problem in October. Should the test have immediately come up? Should the proctor been able to speak? I know that I should be able to type in chat and see their chat.

New feature: clean view in Review Tester

We heard from many of you that even after taking a Blind Review pass at the questions, you still want to see a clean version. So we built a "Clean" tab in the Review Tester. You can now toggle between three views: Clean; Actual take; and Blind Review.

Hi I'm taking the LSAT today and I'm planning on retaking it again maybe in January or mid 2026. I'm looking for a study buddy for accountability and also just to study together on EST timing! Preferably other students in the NYC area, I'm a senior in uni! Feel free to reach out here or on Discord: @mparis

Hello everyone, hope you are doing well.

I was wondering how people get the most out of 7sage? I have been going through the syllabus in the mornings before work and then doing practise drills in the afternoon. Should I be devoting all my time to finishing the syllabus first?

How to get faster with accuracy???

When I take my time to read through a passage and understand the question I can do well at answering correctly but I noticed when I try to increase my speed, I get nearly everything wrong. Any tips on how I should be training to increase answering speed while maintaining accuracy?

Hi,

I am planning to take the LSAT in November and am looking to find an accountability partner with buckling down. I am in the Washington, DC area and would love to do a combination of virtual study sessions during the work week and in person study sessions on either Saturday or Sunday. If you’re interested please let me know :)

Study group in DMV

Hi, I am looking to start an in-person study group in the DMV area. Specifically the Maryland area. I would like it to be in-person and we meet up at least once a week to study together.

Tips for speed

I can never get through all the questions in a timed section. Of the questions that I do answer, the majority of them are correct. So I don’t think my issue is accuracy as much as it is speed. Any recommendations on how I can get through the passages quicker and identify my target faster? I am experiencing this problem for both LR and RC

Hi! I'm looking for a study partner/group to review about once a week. I'm from New York but am currently studying abroad in Europe so am going by CEST. I'd love to talk with some new people and see if our schedules would align. I don't plan to take the LSAT for another couple months, but have a consistent study schedule.

what's next after second "diagnostic"

i'm going for a november test date.

i took my diagnostic in june. i wanted to get a sense of where i'm at now, so i just took a second practice test. i still need to complete the core curriculum.

what's the best next step? do i blind review this PT first? i never blind reviewed my diagnostic (should you?). i know i struggle, perhaps mostly, with speed. would that help me get the best sense of where i need to focus, or should i just go back to focusing on the CC?
