I just finished the LR section of the core curriculum, but I want to keep practicing while I work on the RC section. Does anyone have any tips on how to approach this? I'm thinking of doing 5-10 questions of a drill per day.

I am taking the exam in September. I have been studying non-stop for the last three months. Consistently been getting between 169-173 for the last two months.

Everything was going well, until I took a practice exam last Saturday and did so poorly it devastated me. I thought it was a one-off, but I took another today and same exact result. I am spiraling psychologically––this exam, for me, is a huge psychological challenge; I don't understand what about it is so personal but I am spiraling.

Psychologically, I feel I have hit a wall. Three weeks out, I'm sure mentally I am going to keep making mistakes, and I'm looking at the questions I got wrong and I genuinely do not understand what is happening––the answers I chose seem, objectively, correct. My wrong answer journal is blank because the questions seem like they are the problem.

I don't know what to do, or how to proceed. This is not just a one-off, this is psychologically leading me into study free fall. I will not get a chance to study or take the LSAT again like now. If I don't do well now, knowing myself and my work and study schedule, I have no chance again. I don't know what to do and need assistance.

Hi everyone!! This is my first time posting on discussion. I have a September test date and I'm not doing so well. My PT scores have been consistently decrease for the past three weeks while my BR score has been increasing. I know this is common so I know this is a timing issue. I was wondering what are the best timing drills/ strategies/ practice I can use to help. For reference, my most recent PT (149) I got a 155 and a 168 on BR. My cold diagnostic was a 150. My highest PT (140) I got a 163 with a 169 on BR. I would like to get into the 170 region but at this rate, I'm not sure if it's possible. I know that this means I know the content and need help with timing. Would love to hear some opinions!

Thanks!

When going through LR questions, sometimes I see what i am sure is the answer but I still go through every other ACs and eliminate them. Sometimes this pays off because I change my answer to a better one but most of time time it feels like a waste of time. Should I be reading every answer even though I am 90% sure I already know the correct one?

Hi everyone!

I'm looking for an accountability partner to help stay on track with LSAT prep and to do the same for you! Ideally, we can check in regularly, send reminders, vent about the test when needed, and even study together from time to time. If you're also looking for some support and motivation, feel free to reach out!

I have ADHD, and due to stigma, have gone through 3 years of college refusing accommodations, even though the result has led to me not taking care of myself as much as I should at times, and scraping by to meet deadlines. I have managed to learn time management, and other skills to be successful. I have a 3.9 GPA and am triple majoring and minoring, which I've busted my a** to achieve. There are times, though, where I know university accommodations could've helped me, and I know I do have a real need. In the same vein, I know that reasonable accommodations on the LSAT (ie time and a half) would be really valuable for me. I did have high school accommodations for testing and accommodations for both the SAT and ACT. I have regular appointments with my psychiatrist, and am prescribed medication. In other words, I think I have a strong reason to believe LSAC would accept my accommodations request.

Regardless, I have this mindset that's been ingrained by others/the dominant culture that it's not good to request accommodations on the LSAT, because in the real world as a lawyer, I won't get accommodations. I scroll on Reddit as well (probably not a good idea) and see people in law school (including some with ADHD) poo pooing on accommodations. I have internalized a lot of these messages, and am not sure whether I should request accommodations, even though I am pretty certain my request will be accepted. I know that I am intelligent and competent, but just that I struggle with being inattentive, and it takes me more time to process information than others. Even though I'm not even in law school yet it's like I already have imposter syndrome!

Hi everyone,

I was wondering which data 7Sage uses to determine which tags to prioritize. I’ve noticed that the priorities and accuracy percentages don’t seem to change, even after I’ve drilled the same tag several times. Does the system only take data from PrepTests into account?

September exam coming up--wish me luck! 🤞🏼

7Sage will be temporarily unavailable while we update our servers.

Eastern time: 5am Tuesday, August 19th

Pacific time: 2am Tuesday, August 19th

The site will be available again in one hour, hopefully less.

Please avoid doing a PrepTest or Problem Set near this time so that your work is not interrupted. Sorry for any inconvenience!

Hi there, looking to take the LSAT in Oct. Is anyone in the San Francisco/Bay Area that would like to study together? Looking to meet at least once a week in person, but start a group chat to talk async as well. Thanks!

Hi I am looking for a study group for anyone who is still scoring in the 130s-140s like I am and want to help each other?

This is insanely frustrating as I know I know the material and understand the content. I do a section, get 12 WRONG WHICH IS CRAZY then realize my mistakes during Blind Review. My best LR section has been a -5 so far, and seeing a -12 after making so much progress is genuinely draining. I don't know if I need to practice more under time pressure/testing simulations or I need to look away from LR for a little bit. Please help :(

Hi I am looking for people to study with who are just starting out or still stuck scoring in the 140s and would like help and encouragement!

I am taking the test in september and am consistently PT'ing around high 160-low 170 but I find I consistently lose one or two points to these two question types. So I'd ideally like to clean them up before I get there.

Does anyone have any strategies for making these types of questions both more quick and more consistent? I find even when I get them right I'm unsure if I'm actually getting them right for the right reasons, or if it was just luck.

Title. I want to find PTs with particular difficult sections to practice

Hi there! I'm in Oakland, CA and looking for a study group or study buddy for the LSAT. I'm planning on taking the exam in October (and again in November if I'm not happy with my score).

Don't know if a group exists already but if not, let's link up!

My history shows I took two sections on Thursday, when I know I took them on Wednesday and did not open 7sage at all on Thursday. I took them before midnight EST. Why does it show a wrong date?

Join us for a full day of complimentary live classes covering Logical Reasoning, Reading Comprehension, study strategies, and law school admissions guidance. All you need is a free 7Sage account to participate.

Check out the complete schedule by heading to 7sage.com/classes and scrolling down to August 28th.

Look forward to seeing you in class!

Looking to start a study group in Jacksonville for accountability. We can meet during the week to study independently or in groups. Let me know!

Hi! I'd love to have some friends to study with, maybe a pomordo type set up where we work and can chat over a break maybe, 30/5 or 50/10?

I'm thinking evenings or Saturdays but am open to weekday options too!

Hi! Is anybody in or near Chicago interested in studying together or being accountability buddies, or possibly starting a group? I am open to virtual and in person as well!

Anyone in the Mississauga/Toronto area looking for a study parter or interested in starting a study group?

Study Plan (Phase 1 out of 3) is here!

This early version helps you organize the Core Curriculum.

Phase 2 (to help you plan your Drills, Sections, and PrepTests) and Phase 3 (to help you prepare the week leading up to your exam) are in the works and should be coming within the next several weeks.

Any and all feedback is welcome! Hope you like it!  

Hi!

After improving drilling accuracy for a particular question type, would it be more effective to then work on speed (and thus mastery), or to move on to another question type?

My thoughts are that working on speed will necessarily take much more time, perhaps disproportionately to the diversity of question types and skills a prep test actually requires, but it may lead to better translation from drilling to prep test scores.

I’ve done a few prep tests, and my actual score usually ranges from 150 to 160. My blind review score, though, is around 170. When I do timed drills, especially for four-star and five-star questions, I usually get only a few right or most of them wrong. But during blind review, I get almost all of them right, or sometimes just one wrong.

At this point, I know my issue isn’t comprehension. It’s timing.

If I focus on finishing within the time limit, I make dumb mistakes. But if I focus on accuracy, I often spend too much time on certain questions. Sometimes it’s because I’m unsure about an answer that’s actually correct, and other times I just can’t finish all the questions.

Do you have any strategies? I understand that comprehension is the key to improving speed, and I’ve been working on that for months. I see improvement only in blind review or with the easier one- and two-star ones and no major improvement in how quickly I can get through the harder questions during timed sections.

How can I access the explanation videos for the practice tests?
