Hey team! I've been really honing in conditional reasoning questions because it seems to be my weakest but I keep stumbling over "usually" phrases in the stimulus. How do you understand these or break it down in lawgic?

^esp troublesome in parallel reasoning questions ahaha..

Hi guys! I took a pt yesterday and just finished my blind review. My PT score was 158. I used Kevin’s blind review tips (not looking if it was right or not, having some included that were correct as well, etc etc). After I finished, my br score was 170. What does this mean? What should I be doing differently?

I have been slacking heavily with keeping up the studying, working a full time law enforcement job, being married with a daughter (and a son on the way), which leads me to my question; How are y'all staying motivated to study consistently? I graduate with my B.S. in Criminal Justice in December.

Hey! I was drilling a couple days ago with the awesome new UI and now all of a sudden it disappeared and now is back to the BR screen with the old version of LawHub.

Will the new UI be coming back?

I’m currently scheduled to take the August exam in a couple weeks. I’ve been averaging 163 on my practice exams, but I would love a 168+ to make myself more competitive for T14 schools. I am planning to target T30 schools more generally, with some more “safety” schools outside that range as well. If it’s helpful at all, my LSAC GPA is apparently a 4.1. Currently I work a full-time job in the legal field and only have a maximum of 2 hours a day to study.

Since I’ve been missing a handful of LR questions each section, I’ve been focusing on untimed drills of my weak LR question types to up my pattern recognition and understanding. My thought process here (for focusing on LR) is because LR has more scored sections. However, with my limited time, I don’t know if I’m spending too much time deep diving into my individual wrong questions. How should I balance my time with these drills and reviewing them?

I’m also stressed about RC questions, as I tend to run out of time. My tendency is that I spend over the target time on the passage (1min+ over) and then I am either under or over for the questions, depending on difficulty. I think I have a problem with being concise in my low res summaries which hurts my recall in the questions. I also have been using the highlight feature, but maybe I need to abandon it if that’s what’s slowing me down?

Essentially, between LR and RC, what do you think I should focus on in my time before the exam? Do you have any other tips?

Hello 7sage Team and all fellow LSAT studiers...if you had to choose two single Practice Tests to take before the LSAT in two weeks, is there any two you would recommend? Thanks. Best of luck to all!

Hi all! I recently got a 168 on the June LSAT and I'm studying to get in the 170s right now. It helps me to explain things out loud to people so if anyone in the 140s/150s wants someone to hop on Zoom with them for an hour (for free) and help them walk through questions, I'd love to! Especially if the explanation videos aren't clicking for you!

UPDATE: I'm going to host an "office hours" style situation where you can bring questions and get some help! What would be most helpful for you: Pick 1-2 questions in areas that you consistently get wrong where you struggle to understand WHY you got it wrong and we'll work through the process. If you're interested, I'm going to host the first one Thursday July 23 from 6-7 PM EST! Anyone is welcome to join: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/82145298502?pwd=rC21SaJz0K0kxUh9PUTppQv0xdHnN7.1

I've been studying for around a month now and I got my PT scores up from a 149 to a 156, and have drastically improved my RC from -10 to -3/-4. I'm feeling super motivated about RC, but struggling with LR a lot more!

I find that I'm doing incredible on drills, with almost 100% on my last 10 or so, but when it gets to doing sections, my scores are dropping to -6, and on PTs, its going down to -9.

What's the best way for me to improve this accuracy? I'm only really struggling with the difficult questions at the end of the section, or making small, stupid mistakes due to misreading. I'm aiming for a 170+ by October, so I'm not sure if my accuracy goal with LR is even possible, but considering my improvement in RC I'm feeling confident.

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone. I'm registered for my first LSAT in August (2 weeks away eeek), and started with a 142 diagnostic. I have been studying pretty aggressively for the last month and a half and got my first PT at 155/158 BR! Overall, my goal is to get a 160, and I'm 100% willing to take the test again if needed. My biggest roadblock is conditional and causal logic; I just can't seem to spot these questions, even while mapping. I was wondering if anyone had tips or tricks that helped them improve for these question types. I keep waiting for these questions to click for me, and it just hasn't, so any advice is appreciated!

Hi guys, I'm noticing my wrong answer journal is full of questions I missed because I either misinterpreted the meaning of an answer choice in relation to an RC (or LR) passage, or I didn't have a good grasp on the passage itself, especially remembering specific lines of text that would have lent direct textual evidence to an answer choice.

Does anyone have advice for reading more literally/granularly (aka not skimming) while holding a good grasp on the overall passage? Writing "read better" in my wrong answer journal is not helping. That brings me to another question...

I feel like most of my time is spent analyzing wrong answers in my wrong answer journal, but I'm having trouble applying what I learned from my mistakes in my next round of drills. I seem to be making the same mistakes/plateauing in my progress despite a lot of wrong answer journaling.

Is this something that will improve with time/practice? Perhaps I'm overdoing it with the time spent journaling and it's working against me? Any strategy advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I feel so disheartened. I took the lsat first time in April 2025 and got a 157. I stopped and life got ahead of me and I returned end of April this year with full intentions to break into the 160s (aiming for high) and finally apply for law school after watching all my coworkers achieve the same. I’ve been studying for 10 straight weeks between moving apartments and starting a new job and tracking all my hours. Only last week did I dip below my weekly minimum with 4.5 hours. I usually average about 7 each week because I have to take care of work, life, apartment and more, but I think it’s balanced. I just took this PT tonight and feel a little empty. I know I should be celebrating the BR but getting nearly an identical score to my official one after weeks straight of studying is so disheartening. I feel like I keep getting sidetracked by picking the “most attractive wrong answer.” It’s all concentrated in my LR. I want/need to lessen how much of a super splitter I am with my GPA v LSAT. I feel isolated and like my family and partner just don’t get it or are getting fed up with it. This is mostly just a crash out I guess. I’m taking the exam on August 5th and feel scared. I just want to know how people deal with feeling like you’re running out of time and things won’t actually come together? What is this is my limit and there is no aha moment?

If it hasn’t been said so let it be said

I really appreciate learning more about advanced theory and pattern recognition.

Hello friends. I am studying for the test and want to try and improve from a PT average of 172 (one official attempt at 170 last January) to the high 170s.

One of the ways I want to try this is by spreading the love and offering a few people free tutoring! The idea is that by helping others and thoroughly explaining questions I will gain a greater mastery over them.

Reach out to 857-205-7233 if you are interested. I am only interested in trying to help people who are serious about the test and who can put in at least 4 hours a week of studying.

I hope to hear from you,

Best,

Alex

hi all! i made a discord for study groups, silent studying, listening to music while drilling etc. if you'd like the link please comment or dm me!

I was going to take the LSAT in September but will need to push it to October because I do not feel ready yet and nowhere near scoring to where I want which is 170+. But that means I would have to submit my apps in late October/early November, and I still do not know whether that is considered late in being competitive enough for a T-14 spot because everyone is saying the earlier the better. What are your thoughts/comments?

Does anyone know how many practice tests I should do, and how often? I took one full PrepTest on LawHub about a month ago with zero prep and got a 160. I just started my 7Sage course last week, and I have about six months to go before I actually take the LSAT. My plan was to do 2-3 more PrepTests over the next 10 weeks or so while I'm in the learning phase, and then one per week after that until I'm consistently scoring in the mid-high 170s. Not sure if that's a good schedule or something I even need to plan for --- for example, does 7Sage just give you regular PrepTests once you get into the Practice module?

If anyone could help me with this or give advice, it would be much appreciated.

I have been studying for 1 month now after a 7-month long break from the LSAT. Last week I scored a 155 and had a hard time getting out of that plateau. Today I scored a 161, my official score on record is 153 last October, and my next official administration is in September. A 157 used to be my dream score, but I am quite positive that I can score higher now

Hi everyone! I'm planning to take the September LSAT in person, and I had a few questions for those who have already taken it.

1. What are some mental strategies or tactics you used during the exam to stay calm, recover after a difficult question, or reset between sections?

2. What does the testing room look like? How are the computers set up, and what was the overall environment like?

3. For anyone who tested with Category 2 accommodations (100% extended time/double time), what was your experience? Were you in a private room or with other accommodated test takers? How were the breaks handled, and what did your testing day look like overall?

4. Is there anything you wish you had known before taking the LSAT in person for the first time?

I'd really appreciate hearing about your experiences and any advice you have. Thank you!

Hello everyone! I am looking to potentially get a study buddy that I could text or message with to talk about the LSAT, how were are doing, what we learned that day, ect. I would love to make friends with someone that is maybe overly ambitious like am and whats to get into a top 14!

For context, I graduated undergrad last may with a 4.0 and I am getting my masters currently. I am PTing in the high 150s low 160s rn with my blind reviews falling in the high 160s low 170s. I am DEAD SET on getting into Vanderbilt Law and I take the October LSAT.

Some fun facts: I am 24, I love to workout, play video games, travel, and meet new people. If you are at all interested and what to swap socials lmk!

I previously made a post sharing my struggles with getting through a full PT and how I couldn't even finish a timed section. I am now four months into studying, and I'm very happy to share that I have officially completed a timed PT, all four sections!

While I was nowhere near my goal score, it gives me confidence and peace of mind knowing that I am capable of taking the full test without running out of time. I struggled so much at the beginning, I really feared that I wouldn't be able to. A few people on here recommended I request accommodations, and while I considered it, I'm glad I gave myself some time to work through it.

I would love to be able to access the links and pdfs that are often provided in the live zoom chat during a class, in the recorded one as well. Maybe the links could be in the description of a recorded session?

Hey everyone! I’m Jason and I’m offering private LSAT tutoring! www.sheffermancoaching.com

My Approach: My tutoring is very hands on and personalized because that was the style of tutoring I needed but never got. I realized most LSAT tutors are the natural test takers not needing to have studied much. The LSAT did not come naturally to me…I took the LSAT 6 times starting from a 147 to eventually a 173. I needed someone to understand things at my level (the very bottom) and to walk me through the process.

Limited Availability: I keep my roster small on purpose because I get genuinely involved with everyone I work with. My tutoring works best when it feels like a friend who’s had similar experiences rather than you feeling like I’m counting the minutes until the session is over. 



A bit about me: I studied the intersection of philosophy and cognitive psychology and TA’d in formal logic, was the commencement speaker and graduated from Washington University in St. Louis School of Law in 2025 and worked as a startup corporate lawyer for Cooley LLP.

Hiii! I am a mom and looking for other parents who would be interested in studying together :) I am based in Toronto ON. I am also interested in finding a study buddy who isn't a parent as well :)

Hi all,

I feel as if I have a decent grasp on the different LR question types -- except for Necessary and Sufficient Assumption. For some reason, these just don't click naturally for me, and I even struggle on the Level 2 and 3 questions. I am leaving points on the table by not fully comprehending this topic.

Is there anyone that could explain this to me? I find that the online and even 7sage explanations don't help much and I might need someone else's interpretation of the subject matter to understand it.

Thank you!
