I'll try to keep this brief: I've been studying since January 2025. My diagnostic was a 151 and my score has since risen to a 169 (my highest BR was a 177), but I've been in the 160s for a longggg time (for around 6 months now). I've taken the test twice and am planning to retake for a third (and final) time this June, but I'm really not sure what other practices to implement to help get my score up to the 170s. Feels like I've tried just about everything. I hate to be a debbie downer, but I also want to be realistic. With this much time spent bouncing around in the 160s is it even worth it to hope for consistent 170s scores? Is there a light at the end of the 160s plateau? If anyone has been in a similar situation and was able to score consistently in the 170s, what changed for you?

My testing date is April 10, and I have 6 fresh full practice tests left. Do you recommend taking one every week to give myself the most practice possible before April 10, or taking them every two weeks, prioritizing drills, and leaving ~3 fresh tests for me to work with if I plan to take the LSAT again in June?
I have heard mixed things about whether or not to do full Ptests every week. Up until now I've been doing them about every two weeks, and have had good results; but I've also heard you should take them more frequently as you get closer to the test date.
Advice would be much appreciated!
Do I include the papers I published in undergraduate Journals in my resume? They are not "real" journals I guess, but is it worth including them for a T14 Resume?
When I’m working on a section, all of the question numbers are marked dark green at the bottom of the page, indicating I answered all of the questions. But when I submit it, it says I haven’t answered one or two questions. The same happened with an RC drill. I submitted a drill after checking everything’s marked, and then it said I omitted an answer for one question. I marked it again in the blind review, but my answer wasn’t registered again, showing that I didn’t answer the question for both drill and blind review.Â
This never happened to me until today. Anyone experiencing the same problem today?
Hello! I am not sure this is the right place to ask but I need to solve this asap.
A couple of months ago I used my old email to create a 7sage account. I also bought the monthly plan linked to my lawhub. Now I'm back to LSAT so I decided to go with 7sage again. However, this time I used my new email and I was unable to try to link the coach to my lawhub. The error messaged stated that the "coach was already assigned to this user" but I could not access 7sage materials.
Anybody having idea how to solve this? Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance!

Lately I've found myself in a bit of a slump; I've been studying for the LSAT for about a year and a half and I've taken three total tests in that time. The past three times didn't go so well, so I find myself grinding to do better for the fourth time. It can be very frustrating not seeing the results despite whatever work you've put in, and it gets harder every day to find reasons to stay in the fight. So I wanted to drop something here that I like to think about that helps put things into perspective:
When the Milwaukee Bucks were eliminated in the first round by the Pacers during the 2022-23 season, Giannis Antetokounmpo was asked if he saw this season "as a failure." To answer the question, he asked if Michael Jordan's nine seasons where he didn't win a championship would be considered a failure. A little parallel reasoning there, right? Not a lot of people reminisce about the seasons when Jordan lost - they extol the six seasons when he won. So to sum up the question, the Bucks 2022-23 season wasn't a failure - it is simply a step toward success. For every game lost, every playoff series missed, and every playoff exit, there's always an opportunity to learn from it and grow for the next season.
So what does this have to do with the LSAT?
The same principle can be applied. Did I fail because I scored a 148 on my diagnostic a year and a half ago? Did I fail because I scored a 153 on my first official test? Did I fail because I didn't like the next two tests? Did I necessarily fail at anything, or did I simply just take steps closer and closer to a win?
We will all have good days and bad days - days where we will all find success and days where it's simply not our turn yet. It can be very frustrating to not see positive results and it can be even more tiring to try and stay in the fight, especially after a year. But one thing that I've learned that has helped me with my perspective on things is to understand that you will face adversity in order for you to succeed. So wherever you are at with your journey, remember that there is no such thing as failure - only steps to success.
"There is no failure in sports." - Giannis Antetokounmpo
Hey Everyone! I have tutored finance/economics for over a year now and am looking to get into tutoring the LSAT. I did a diagnostic and got a 144. This test did not come intuitively to me but I poured the next 3 months into figuring out the exam in an extremely formulaic manner and was PT-ing in the mid 170s, wrote it and got a 173. (Only score).
If you are someone who does not get the exam intuitively and wants to approach it how I did, would love to help! Charging $35/hr!
Hi all,
I have been studying for the LSAT for about a month now and its going okay.
My biggest obstacle is staying consistent with my studying. I work as a full time consultant and can have long, unpredictable hours.
This week as an example, I thought I could be home by 7:00pm and resume studying but I ended up having to work until 10:00 pm and 12:00 am most days this week. I like what I do but its just difficult to stay motivated after working long hours and stick to a plan when my weeks can be hard to gauge.
I knew this would be an obstacle for me so I'm trying to wake up a bit earlier, to squeeze some extra studying in, and do some longer sessions on the weekend.
Does anyone have any studying regiments or tips on how to balance a slightly unpredictable schedule with LSAT studying?
Regards.
I have created a cheat sheet with some common errors you might make while answering the questions. I also included common traps that the LSAT might try to use and some patterns you might see. Some of this information overlaps, and I got most of it from the 7Sage tools. Just sharing in case anyone wants to keep this info all in one place!
When take timed LR sections, I'm getting 11-14 questions wrong. But when I do the blind review/untimed sections, I'm only getting 4-5 wrong. How do I fix this? What am I doing wrong?
Hey! I want to draw your attention to three Fast Track lessons available at the end of the LR Unit:

https://7sage.com/lessons/logical-reasoning/lr-fast-track/fast-track-pseudo-sufficient-assumption
These are designed to be short (~1 hour) overview lessons for people starting with a high diagnostic, or review lessons for people who have gone through the CC or other curriculum and just want a refresher on important points.
Since we're planning to make more of these, I'm eager to hear some feedback to make future lessons better. Most people won't see these lessons as part of their study plans, so I'm bringing this request to the Discussion forum. Thanks!
Hi Everyone. Im studying in preparation for the June LSAT. I took it one time already but didn't achieve the score that I wanted. Im looking for either an in person or virtual study group/member for some accountability. Currently working full time but am flexible in terms of study times. If you're intersted in meeting up regularly, let me know!
This may be a stupid question, but here I go... Should I be expected to be using Lawgic on scrap paper when exam day rolls around? Or am I simply training my brain to think this way, and it'll eventually be the "language" I read these problems in... I am currently in the stage of study where I'm really feeling like I have a strong grasp on Lawgic, but I tend to wonder sometimes if it slows me down... Is that just a product of learning Lawgic and eventually it'll be quick? Currently on the 3 Formal Arguments Combined section of Conditional & Set Logic module.
I have been constantly scoring between 164-166 for the last 4 PTs with a BR of 174 on 3 of those 4. Today I went in pretty confident because I had gotten -4 on multiple RC sections this week and a -1 on LR. I completely fell apart and got a 160. The BR was a 174 again (-2, -1, -1) but I did find the questions to be harder different from a lot of the questions I had been doing sections with. Most of the issue seemed to be pressure under time and less just not being able to complete the questions in enough time because I usually don't have an issue with that. Going from -1 on LR to -9 and from -4 to -8 on RC came out of the blue for me too because I did better on the LR on my preliminary exam and have studied 4.5 months since then. I am aiming for a 171-174 and plan on taking the April exam. Any recommendations on avoiding such a drastic collapse especially after a month of constant progress? Thank!
Hi, I'm wondering how to PrepTest equivalent score in calculated after drilling? How accurate is it? I notice sometimes it gives me a fairly high score for 100% correct, even with fairly easy questions. Slightly confused on this and wondering if I should disregard the score. Thanks!
I was just wondering if anyone else is dealing with this issue? Every time I pause a video on this platform my screen goes black. This is extremely troublesome, because when I pause the video it is to take a second to understand diagrams or answer choices. This never happened to me before on the classic 7Sage website. I'm not sure if it is because I am using safari or what?
I'd really love to just pause the video and the screen stays where I pause it at.
Hi all, I am studying for the test for August and I would love to study with someone in the San Diego area. If anyone else is interested feel free to comment and we can probably make a study’s group :)
Hi studiers! I’m looking for a study buddy (or group) in the Hollywood/Los Feliz area. I’m planning to take the June 2026 LSAT and would love some accountability and friendly faces to study with. If you’re on a similar timeline and interested in meeting up regularly, let me know 😊
Hi all, just started prepping for the LSAT (about 1–3 weeks in) and I’m looking for study/accountability partners. I’m planning to take the June 2026 test, but I’m flexible on timing and expecting a retake.
I’m in South Waltham near Boston. Open to virtual or in-person!
I've been given the same RC passage to drill 4 times in a row. Even after I completed the questions once, I'm still given the same exact passage the next 3 times I hit the RC drill button.
Has anyone taken the LSAT at a Prometric testing center in the NYC area, specifically the Manhattan or Brooklyn locations?
I’m curious about what the testing experience was like. I’m very sensitive to background noise, and I’ve heard that people may be entering and leaving the testing room throughout the exam, with proctors also speaking to other test-takers inside the room. Was that your experience?
I’d really appreciate any insight. I'm taking the LSAT in February and just thinking about either in-person or remote testing.
Anyone want to study together?
I tend to retake the entire test during my Blind Review so I'd love to see how long it actually takes me to do a question without time pressure vs. with time pressure. Also, it would be helpful as more of an accountability feature since I tend to spend more time on Blind Review than needed when I should be focusing on dissecting what I got wrong.
I applied late in the cycle due to health issues late last year. I have a 157 LSAT and 3.48 GPA and am trying to get into a local school with a median of 155 and a 3.49 GPA. Is there any reason to take the LSAT again? I'm one point higher than the 75th percentile.
I want to share drillsets with a study partner. Is there any ways to do this? I am thinking I will start a 5 question drillset and then send it over to them and they will see the exact same questions, but every time I tried to share a drillset it was different questions. Any advice will help.
