Advice?

I wrote the lsat before and scored a 146 (Jan 2025). I'm rewriting it again and have been studying since end of June/start of July. I've done two pt's, and scored 139 and 144. I have been keeping wrong answer journal and have been drilling, however, I see zero improvement and feel highly unmotivated and scared for what may be to come. Does anyone have any advice as to how I can actually see improvements? Because it feels as though nothing is working. I don't have the money for a tutor but maybe anyone who has advice or been in the same boat who could help me would be great.

Like many, this is one of my weaker points. It's been a focus throughout my studies and I feel like I'm finally understanding and getting more accurate! I know how to recognize SA vs NA questions, but it's not making sense to me how these questions differ in the answer. For example: "Which one of the following is an assumption necessary for the critic's conclusion to be properly drawn?" I am able to bridge the gap and connect the points, which is getting me the correct answers, but I don't see the answer as a necessary. An example is PT 126 Section 1. The answer is connecting B to C. Then the conclusion is C to D. So how is B to C a necessary vs sufficient assumption? Maybe I'm getting too in my head about it and the focus on finding and filling the gap is all I need to really think about. But open to any thoughts! And not able to pay a tutor $1000 to explain this question to me 🤪

I absolutely love the live class feature on 7sage! Nicole's classes have been extremely helpful in advancing almost 20 points in my test score since I first started studying for the LSAT. While I haven't been able to attend most of her classes live, I have been able to access her wealth of knowledge, and other tutor's as well, through the live class library. When I filter on the live class search bar the classes only go back a few months vs. the classic.7sage which goes back 10 + months. Will the live class library on classic.7sage be incorporated on the new and improved 7sage? #hopeful #help #feedback

@JY Please add practice tests 1-18 onto this site. There are very limited amounts of practice tests and I want to use all of them. I love 7sage btw its the best (but could be much better with the prep tests that are not included in the re-mapping that is now know as PT 101-158)

I am a visual learner and I am really struggling on how to study for the LSAT. I'm usually a flashcard person but I've been told that's not a good way to study for this test. I have looked on youtube, tiktok, chatgbt, I can't find any advice on how to approach studying for the LSAT as a visual learner. Anyone have any tips or tricks?

I know on the old site there is the option to set your own study schedule, but it's not currently available on here! I'm just going back and forth between the old and new site to mark off my completed curriculm sections, but is there any plans for the feature to be added here soon?

Help with studying

Was wondering if anyone had advice for how I can help this problem. I've been studying consistently since June, and have been plateauing on scores of around 155. However, my blind reviews have been going up, to where I'm now getting 170+ but not seeing those actual score changes on the timed version? Does anyone have advice on how to fix it? Is it just more practice with doing timing? I noticed one thing that I have trouble with is more of the logic ones like SA's, NA's, Mbt, etc where I get them wrong on the timed tests but get them right on blind review when I have time to work through them.

Actual VS Blind Review

Hi everyone! I have made some progress on my LSAT score. I have been scoring low 160 and then high 160 or over 170 in the blind review. Any tips on closing this gap? The fundamentals are there it seems but the timing gets me I guess.

Are the analytics that prioritize by tags made only from data from PTs, not including drills or sections? I think it would be nice to see the analytics that include how I did at least in timed sections if not timed drills in addition to the PTs cause I don't really want to be taking a PT all the time to see which areas I should try to focus more of my attention on.

If these are really only made with solely PT data, I feel like the lack of PTs I've taken so far is skewing my analytics. However, I don't want to be blazing through all of the PTs and burn out mentally to get a better sample of how I'm doing.

The analytics feature is super cool and useful for sure, but I think it would be a nice feature to at least add a filter where I could toggle to add more data into these analytics with questions from drills/sections if I wanted to!

Atlanta Study Group

If I can get five people to commit to meeting (preferably) in person or online in the metro Atlanta area then I will organize and lead a study group so we can analyze our work and give each other greater perspective for this exam. I am looking to take the April 26 LSAT. I know people are busy so I am just looking to organize a group that will be willing to meet once or maybe twice a week.

Noisy LSAT

I just got done taking the LSAT at an in person test center and it was so loud. I had the headphones on but the proctors sat on the other side of a glass window talking about their lives almost the entire test so loudly that I could barely think. I took the test at a center because of the horror stories I've heard of online tests. If I knew it was going to be so loud I would have just taken it at home and asked my family to get out of the house for two hours. If I file a complaint do I have a chance at getting this score canceled and getting a retake? Or am I being ridiculous here?

Hello fellow 7sagers! I took the LSAT last year and received a low score but decided to apply anyways. I was waitlisted and then denied. I will be reapplying in the fall, with a new LSAT score. Regarding personal statement I am wondering if I should re use the personal statement or change it. Moreover, should I mention that I was denied last year and the work I put in this year to get a higher LSAT score? Thank you!

Hey! Looking for tips on how to decide what passages to do and in what order. Note that I don't get through all 4 passages timed unless I want to miss most questions (I'm ok with this, it's my best option to score-wise, and RC is a big struggle for me). I just need to get through 3/4 passages, but I can't tell which approach is best as far as picking which ones I choose to do.

If one of the passages I choose turns out to be the hardest of them all, it takes me much more time and not as much reward. I find myself scoring lower than I have to because the one I skipped was easier than one or more that I did. So, I'm asking for advice on quick ways to tell whether it's worth doing.

I know there's not much of a predictable order of doing them, but if you have any tips on how you decide to do it, please let me know (even if you do get through all 4, you surely want to save the hardest for last to get rewarded for points you know you can get)

For example, should I choose:

  • ones with the most questions

  • shortest passage

  • glance at question types to see if it has many that I struggle with/good at (I could see this approach eating up too much time)

  • length of passage

  • topic

Thanks in advance!

I often click on the "high priority" question types for logical reasoning, and I'll do a drill of maybe 10 "Must be true" questions, but the system doesn't include any of my drilled questions into the data for how I am performing on those questions. This leaves me a little confused about what the "personalized drilling" is doing if it is not connected to analytics. I'm using new 7sage if that helps.

hey guys!! I haven't submitted my writing portion for the August LSAT yet, and I was wondering if anyone knows when the last date we can submit it by is? I have heard you can submit it after you have taken the test so I decided to do that instead

reaching a score slump

I'm studying for Sept and reaching a point where i'm consistently scoring worse on sections than I was 2 weeks ago and feeling discouraged. I took 2 days off and came back to do a RC section and got the worst score I've gotten in a while. I've been a bit burnt out for a while as I'm also finishing up a publication at my full-time job at the moment, so that might be a contributor. I don't want to waste anymore practice time, but I also don't want to make the problem worse by pushing it especially since I have a 168 from June and am really trying for a 170+. Posting for advice but also to vent a little bit lol
