Hi, I'm Nick! I work primarily with students who feel stuck despite doing a lot of practice and need a clearer system for understanding why they’re missing questions.

I went from 158 --> 178 in 4 months by learning how to diagnose my mistakes and change how I approached the test. I now work with students using that same approach, focusing on underlying reasoning issues that lead to fast, durable score improvements. I’m a good fit for students who want structured feedback and are willing to think carefully about their mistakes—not just do more questions.

You can find more about my tutoring philosophy and availability on my website. Happy to answer any questions!

Hi! I am beginning to work on my PS and I really want some feedback about how it reads to someone else? I prefer someone who is also a splitter and willing to be very honest. I am happy to offer the same. My PS is still very much in draft mode but I want to see if I am going in a good direction and feel like discussing our PS more in general can really lead to somewhere worthwhile for both parties!

Hello all, my name is Ray. I'll be applying to Law School in January. Any tips on taking the LSAT? Thanks in advance!

Hi! I took the LSAT in April and am taking it again in August. As I've been studying again, I'm wondering if I should be studying with larger time blocks (more drills), but spend less time on my WAJ and analysing my thought process or with shorter time blocks where I can really focus on my patterns and what I am getting wrong.

I am trying to make a jump from the mid 160s to the 170s. I'm not sure how to approach this goal as efficiently as I can and improve my score as much as I can in the next two months.

I'm greatful for any advice! Thank you!

Hi 7Sage Team,

I recently began the drilling portion of the study plan and I noticed that the settings portion before you start drills include difficulty options. Would you recommend just going with the default options, or are there reasons that one should adjust the difficulty level of the drills?

Thank you!

Not sure what to make of it lol

Given that we are currently working without the highlighting and underlining features in the RC practice tests, I wanted to ask if you could share any recommendations alternatives strategies for approaching RC under these conditions?

If there are specific approaches you would suggest or resources that focus on RC strategy without those tools.

Hello all,

I am looking for a tutor to help me with the RC section. I currently do not have an approach for RC and would like help to break down RC passages to effectively answer each question, while eliminating wrong answer easily.

Hello everyone,

Does anyone know how a CGPA is rounded? By all calculations my GPA is a 3.945. From what I have heard, they round to the nearest .01 which is a 3.95, but in LSAC it is reported as a 3.94. Can someone explain this, and if not is it worth contacting LSAC about it?

-Thanks!

I am looking to get evaluated for an LSAT accommodation. Has anyone gone through the process and can recommend a provider?

Has anyone else looked at the recent data released on LSAT scores? There is something HIGHLY fishy going on with the increase in the top line... which happens to take place just after you are allowed to take the test remotely! cough cheating cough (didn't say it!)

Here are the facts:

The number of LSAT Applicant tests have increased by 30%

The LSAT Median (155-159) has increased similarly at 26% .. so far so good, normal distribution with added applicants.

The alarm shows up at the top end... an !!!!!! 85% !!!!! increase in (175-180) scorers. Nearly DOUBLING the top line.

My Thesis:

Any addition, or subtraction, from applicants STATISTICALLY SHOULD result in the same distribution range. We know LSAT has been very fair with creating a system for their two LRs and one RCs to keep an even playing field for all applicants. Even with the dropping of logic games, an ALMOST DOUBLING on the top line would be unheard of.

Anyone who has taken remote/online testing during college, knows about friend or two, that knows how to go around the Prometric system. Not that any of us here would do that of course. Could this also be LSAC blanket approving anyone with a doctors note for 1.5x time? Possibly. Could it be Prometric work arounds? possibly. Did we just get smarter applicants? Possibly.

But I will say one thing ... when there is smoke .. there is ...

If you're taking the LSAT in August or September, one of the most important questions you can ask is: "How do I organize everything I'm learning into a preparation plan that actually produces results?"

That's exactly what we'll cover in this free workshop this Wednesday.

Most LSAT preparation resources do an excellent job teaching question types, answer processes, and techniques. This workshop focuses on the next step: organizing those skills into a structured system that promotes consistency, speed, and long-term improvement.

In this workshop, I'll walk through a practical study plan built around two ideas:

• A Logical Reasoning 5-Step Structured Process that organizes LR question types and answer processes into a repeatable system.

• A Reading Comprehension 5-Step Structured Process that focuses on Big Picture reading, passage structure, and question execution.

We'll discuss how to build this structured foundation during the first few weeks of study, how to integrate them with resources such as 7Sage and LawHub, and how to transition into PTs, Blind Review, timing work, and endurance training.

Every attendee will also receive a free LSAT Prep Swag Bag containing:

• The full LR Operating System Installation Manual • LR Quick Start Guide • Reading Comprehension in 5 Steps Guide • Additional workshop materials

Date: Wednesday, June 10

Time: 8:00 PM Eastern (5:00 PM Pacific)

Cost: Free

Length: Approximately 60–90 minutes

Registration Link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSed4ub-ZDjLokUq5J_pt2c-XQ3BAW3EKMOkAGHsUM-PePwOgw/viewform?usp=publish-editor

Can't attend live? No problem. Everyone who registers will receive access to the recording, along with the LSAT Prep Swag Bag and workshop materials, whether or not they are able to attend the live session.

Hope to see you there.

I scored a 138 on my PT. I have not taken one in a long time. I've taken the LSAT twice, but that was years ago, and I have been studying nonstop. I've taken PT before, and they fluctuate, but they were spaced apart. Do I have to be consistent with PT in order for my scores to reflect?

Is there a way to see the percentage accuracy of all priorities? If not can we please get this feature? I think it would be super helpful, especially because the top priorities tags change if you change your goal score so it’d be beneficial to see all tags at once. Thanks!

This June test was my first-ever LSAT, and it was a horrible experience. I was constantly interrupted by proctors throughout the exam.

Right after Section 1 began, which was my only RC, the proctor told me she couldn't see my shoulders and asked me to adjust my camera. The timer was not paused. I adjusted the camera and was told everything looked fine. However, despite not changing the camera angle afterward, I kept getting interrupted during the section and was repeatedly told to adjust it again. Since I was using a laptop with a built-in camera, I eventually had to tilt my screen so much that it became uncomfortable to read.

I think I was interrupted at least five times during that first section. Then, during Passage 4, the proctor interrupted me again and said, "This is the last warning, please cooperate." That completely threw me off. I had been cooperating the entire time and was doing everything I was asked to do. At that point I was so stressed that I wanted to cry.

I adjusted the camera again and asked whether my shoulders were visible. The proctor responded, "No." I adjusted it again and asked once more, and she replied with just "." That interaction made me genuinely worried that I would be removed from the exam. I completely lost focus and feel like that RC section was ruined.

Sections 2 and 3 were somewhat better, but I was still interrupted multiple times. Before every section, I specifically asked the proctor whether my shoulders were visible and was told everything was fine. Yet a few minutes into the section, I would be told to tilt the camera further. Every time a new proctor took over, I seemed to get different instructions.

By Section 4, my screen was already tilted to an uncomfortable angle. The proctor had confirmed before the section that everything looked good, so I thought I was finally done with the interruptions. Then THE SAME PROCTOR who had repeatedly interrupted me during Section 1 came back (I remembered her name) and told me to tilt it even more. Just seeing her message pop up again was distracting because I was worried another interruption was coming. So my last section didn't really go well either.

After the exam, I checked my camera. It was showing my entire chest. I even returned it to the angle I had started with, and my shoulders were clearly visible.

I've spent the last two days agonizing over whether to request a retest. Today I submitted a complaint but decided not to retest. I've spent the last six months studying for this exam, and honestly, I just wanted a break. I'm scared about how much the interruptions affected my score because I feel like I completely lost my focus during my only RC section. At the same time, I don't even remember enough of the test to judge how I actually performed.

I'm not sure if I made the right decision not to retest... At this point, I'm just hoping I somehow did better than I think... If not I'll focus on August. I really wanted June to be my last LSAT, so that's really sad...

Hello LSAT Travelers!

My name is Dr. Lars Enden. I used to be a professor of philosophy and logic. I did that for about 20 years. But now, I am an LSAT tutor, and I have been doing this full-time for over 3 years.

The purpose of this group, is to offer a space where you can ask a professional logic professor (that's me!) anything you want. So, come to a session with a topic or a question that you want to discuss. It can be anything LSAT related (even RC, which is mostly logic anyway!) and I will do my best to help you with it. For Free!

The group will meet every Wednesday 2 - 3:30 pm Eastern / 11 am - 12:30 pm Pacific. I hope to see you then!

And, of course, if you are looking for a tutor, check out my post in the tutoring marketplace!

Hi all! My name is Caroline and I'm looking for a study group or partner in DC to meet with either in-person or virtually. I'm looking to break 170 for the August LSAT after getting a 162 on the April LSAT. Mostly just looking for study buddies to hold each other accountable when it comes to studying!

Is anyone interested in studying virtually or in person in Collin County Texas?

Hi everyone! I'm taking the August LSAT and am a splitter (my GPA is below the medians for all the schools I like because I started college as a pre-med major at a school notorious for grade deflation). I've plateaued at 164-166 for about 3 months now and I'd like advice from people who were able to break out of that.

Weaknesses:

Logical reasoning

1. Net effect/weighing factors (especially when co-tagged with causal reasoning)

2. similarly, Resolve/Reconcile/Explain

3. Hardest causal reasoning

4. Hardest conditional reasoning tags (especially when co-tagged with a lot of other things).

5. Hard/est strengthen or weaken

6. Hard/est link assumption

7. Hard/est most strongly/supported

Reading comprehension

1. Hard/est implied

2. Hardest author's perspective

3. Weaken/strengthen/evaluate

Behavioral issues

1. Answer-switching (from right to wrong)

2. Knowing which questions are hardest (and flagging them) but not answering them correctly.

Other helpful info about me:

• I take the LSAT with time and a half, and stop/start accommodations;

• On LR, I aim to leave 26.5 minutes for the last 10 questions. If it takes me longer than 90 seconds on the first pass to tackle a question, I come back to it. I only flag questions that I feel are really hard; I will note which questions I want to come back to on my scrap paper (that way when I'm reviewing before submitting a section, I know which specific questions to double check).

• On RC, I spend 13 mins an 15 seconds on each passage + questions. I read for scale, summarize the main idea of each passage very briefly in a passage map, underlline any theses/main points in the paragraphs, and highlight any indicators of perspective (authors, allies, or opponents).

If you've experienced the same issues and have any tips for how you resolved them, I'd be incredibly thankful! I can also clarify anything or give more detailed analytics if needed. Thank you again!

Hi all. I've been supplementing my in program drilling with worksheets/alternative books that share some of the same questions as 7Sage. Rather than filter questions manually when creating a drill and inputting each practice test and scrolling for the question/section, I think it would be helpful to add a shortcut to simply input a PT, Section, and Question # that will add it to the drill. Would greatly streamline the process and make it less time consuming to document external practice within 7Sage. Appreciate the consideration.

Helloo! I'm preparing for the August LSAT and looking for a study partner. My BR is typically around -2/-3 in both LR and RC, but I'm working on closing the gap between BR and timed PTs. I'd love to meet weekly to take PTs, review together, and stay accountable. My goal score is 175+. I'm based in Queens, NY, and am open to meeting in person or virtually. Please leave a comment if you're interested! :)

Hello, I am signed up for the Total Prep Intensive course, and my first class is Monday evening, but I have a few questions about it.

1. Is the homework listed alongside the Monday class (including the diagnostic test) supposed to be completed prior to the first class on Monday, or should I wait to do it after the first class?

2. Will classes be recorded and available to watch after in case we have to miss a class for some reason?

Hi everyone! Does anyone have advice for handling STEM-based reading comprehension passages?

I'm usually pretty good at reading comprehension, regardless of the topic, but for some reason, I really struggle with long STEM passages. It feels like my brain completely short-circuits, and no matter how hard I try, I can't absorb what I'm reading. I've tried slowing down, taking a break, and even reading aloud, but it doesn't help. I am still just staring at the page without understanding much of it.

I've never disliked science or had trouble understanding it at a basic level, so I'm not sure why these passages are giving me such a hard time.

I would really appreciate any advice or strategies that have helped others overcome this. Thank you!

Hi everyone... I am commenting on here to see if anyone has gone through this and what I should do. I took the LSAT today at a testing center and from the very beginning the test was not acting right. I would click the next arrow and it would go up 2 questions instead of one and then I would have to click the answer bubble like 5 times for it to go through and the same to cross answers off. I told the center at halfway and we talked and she reset my computer and said she will write a report but also when I sat back down my test was already 30 seconds into the second half and I really don't think I took that long or maybe it just took me a while to answer all of their questions but I just went to the bathroom super quick after explaining what was going on and when I got back the test already was going. In addition, the problems were still there the second half and it just really threw me off to where I don't think I did too great. So I have some questions,

1. I told them also that it was doing the same thing the second half and they said they would write a report but the person wasn't writing down any of the things I was saying so should I still submit a report as well?

2. If I write a report can I still see/use my score if it ends up being fine? I finished all the sections and I still gave it my all so if I have some luck maybe I still scored reasonably well (trying to be positive lol) :)

3. If I wrote a report what would be the likely output? Like would they maybe give me a free retest and would that be in August? Like I said this was my third test and I was REALLY hoping it would be my last so if I would have to wait all the way to August I don't even know if I want to do another 2 months of studying.

THANK YOU for any advice and if you took the June LSAT may you get a higher score than you hoped :)
