Flaws

Lately, during practice, I have noticed that I keep getting flaw questions wrong but I cannot identify exactly why. Every time I look at the ACs, I can think of a reason why a few of them could be the answer and struggle in choosing the best AC. Anyone struggling with this too and have any tips?

Editing Study Plan

New 7Sage user here. I plan on taking the LSAT in August and was trying to make a specialized study plan with that date in mind. But the farthest LSAT date I can put in my study plan is the June LSAT.

Will this change soon?

Hi everyone!

I’ll be hosting a free LR study group tonight at 7:30 PM EST. I’ll be covering one of the most effective techniques for eliminating trap answers on Parallel and Parallel Flaw questions.

Full transparency: I am an LSAT tutor, but this session is completely free, open to anyone, and there are no expectations attached.

Feel free to join if you can, hope to see you there!

😖 Frustrated

need reassurance

hi guys! i'm taking the june LSAT in exactly two weeks from this day. i've been getting in the 176-177 range for the past four tests, and even got a 180 recently. however, i didn't study for two weeks and got a 174. i know also it's common to drop a few points on the actual test due to nerves. should i be too worried??? i don't want to torture myself with only two weeks left but i'm also disappointed in the drop. eep!!!

(i know, objectively, these are good scores, but i have a C&F statement and really need a full-ride, and want to get into a t14 school).

Hi! I've been stuck in the mid 160s and I know how important it is to take time and review wrong answers. I just don't feel like I have enough time with drilling included. Would it be productive to take a week to just go through questions I've flagged? Or maybe take one day each week just for review?

I am currently scoring -6 on my LR sections. I am guaranteed incorrectly answering level 4 and 5 questions. I aced 1,2,3 level questions, but as soon as a level 4 or 5 question gets thrown in the mix, I get it wrong. It doesn't matter question type, ie Conditional Reasons, Causal Reasoning, Main Conclusion etc...If it is a level 4 or 5 I will get it wrong. Looking for strategies to use the improve and make a jump from getting all level 4 or 5 wrong to getting down to -3 on LR.

Answer Choice Tags - WIP?

I'm finding the answer choice tag floating dialog box pop-up explainer describer things very helpful as I review my wrong answers. Example: Illusory Inconsistency! It's wonderful having a clear title for the AC type that keeps seducing me lol. But when I tried to click "learn more" https://7sage.com/lsat-resources/cheatsheet/lr-answer-choice#illusory-inconsistency it looks like the page is broken? Is this still a work in progress? Is there a page where we can view all of the AC type tags?

I keep losing my notes when I type in the notes tab. Sometimes it's my own fault, where I accidentally cut a piece of text or accidentally paste onto a piece of text. Other times, like just now, I write a wall of text only to have it disappear due to a weird glitch. No biggie if I can just Ctrl-Z to undo the disappearance, but the text fields here don't allow undos.

Hi! This is my second time going through the LSAT, and I realized one of my biggest issues on the RC is that when I read through, even if I highlight or take notes, I don't grasp the information and have to waste time by going back into the passage while answering questions. I find that I am subconsciously substituting note-taking for understanding, and even though I can summarize the main points into a quick note, that understanding does not get engrained into my head and I find myself needing to go back into the passage to answer the questions, thus wasting time. Furthermore, the act of note-taking itself wastes time, so I am not sure what the best approach is to efficiently read through the passage without having to go back into the passage to answer most/every question.

I would really appreciate any advice!

General Context

I began studying in March of 2025. Originally my plan was to attend law school starting in 2026, but my wife advised me to adjust my timeline. Since then I have been a little spotty studying. My resolve was there, and I would go through streaks of studying 2+ hours everyday at the library, but I live a very busy life (army reserves commander, full-time management job with overtime, house reno, etc.). I have gone through about 50% of the 7Sage curriculum, along with the whole of the LSAT Trainer, and the Loophole. Right now I can religiously get a low 170s test on an untimed PT. I aim for the August LSAT.

Mental Burnout/Path Forward Background

About every 2 out of 3 questions I get wrong are because of misreading because I not fully engaged in the text, or just simply disengaging. I sometimes read a stimulus and realize I have no idea what I just read, or if something has a little tricky language I have to fight my brain to focus on it. I probably average around 2 questions a test that I get wrong that I got the logic wrong, the rest is this. It just feels as though my brain is seeing the LSAT as a fight, and trying to disassociate from it. Even for questions I find easy I sometimes have to labor to get my brain to fully think out why the answer is correct. This doesn't feel like something I can fix by just drilling my way out of it, rather it feels more foundational.

Questions

How do I fix the problem of disassociation or mid-test/section mental burnout problem in time for the August LSAT?

Knowing the background of my studying, how would you recommend going about studying the remainder of the way? Just chug along and push through?

Hello everyone, I was wondering how to go about improving my sudden drop in accuracy. My drills have been constantly improving in the past couple months. I was going from -0 to -4 out of 10 on drills. (I usually do 5 to 15 question per drills) Then these past few weeks I've noticed a significant drop, and it culminated today when I did a drill and I got a whopping -9 out of 10. The past few weeks I've noticed that suddenly when I'm drilling I'm usually going -5 to -8 out of 10 (per drill). It's getting to me.

I was wondering if some people here have experienced this kind of slide, or maybe it's something else that I'm doing or not doing. I feel frustrated that I am not improving at all.

I hope this doesn't come off as a pity party to other people, but I am hoping for some tips that helped you along the way.

This is maybe more of a question, but I noticed for the section of my study plan in the month of June, most of the RC lessons are marked as done. I definitely did these in the main curriculum, but a few days ago it appeared as 0% complete, so I assumed there would be lessons to work on there. Is this a bug from current development or did it just finally load that I did many of the lessons already?

RC STRUGGLES

Hey everyone, I’m new to 7Sage but I’ve been studying for a few months now. RC has definitely been my weak spot so far. Please drop your best tips, tricks, or mindset shifts for reading comprehension. I want to hear the things that actually made it finally click for you. I’m open to anything at this point. Especially anything that helped you understand passages better without rereading everything over and over.

😓 nervous

Days before test day

I just scheduled my in-person test date and time for June. I'm feeling very nervous and jittery as always, and I've booked off 4 days from work before my test so I can mentally prepare myself and also complete the argumentative writing portion. Anyone have any advice on how I should spend my time those last few days before the test? Any experience with in-person testing centres (ontario based)? Is it a good idea for me to do the argumentative writing portion that close to my test day?

I just took another PT after my benchmark. Between the times, I have only finished the foundations section of the course and have done minimal drilling. I studied my wrong answers for my benchmark exam too before taking this exam. I saw a ZERO score raise after taking this 2nd PT. Is this common or is this a sign that I have been studying wrong?

Would love to know if anyone else has had a similar experience or if this is common. Any tips or suggestions would really help.

Hi everyone, my name is Patrick and I'm a new studier starting my LSAT journey and thought it would be super beneficial to study in a small group together either online or in person. I think meeting once or twice a week in a library for an hour or two could be useful for keeping us all motivated, on track and in high spirits for the arduous journey ahead.

Please let me know if you have any questions or suggestions, and best of luck with your LSAT journey :)

Is anyone taking the LSAT in June in Chicago? If so, are you familiar with the proctoring location? Looks like it's in an office building. Does anyone have any experience testing there? Tried to look up more information, but did not really see much about the whole process in that specific building. Also, there were 3 different centers listed for Chicago in the same building at the same time... I just picked a random one that had my preferred date, but I don't know if one section is more preferred than the others. Let me know about your experiences!

Feeling like I'm improving

A couple weeks ago I felt was stagnate but now I generally feel like I'm improving. I got my highest score ever on PT 154 ( a 157)and I'm so much closer to my dream score. I took a practice RC passage from PT 148 after feeling stressed out about RC and I felt more confident than ever took a RC passage and my timing was a lot better. Usually I don't finish a lot of questions and guess but I only guessed at one without looking at the answer.

I don't know what happened. I'm taking the june lsat and had been scoring pretty well, -1 to -4 lr average and a little worse on rc, getting in the high 160s for preptests. last friday i got a low 160 on a preptest. i brushed it off as a fluke so i wouldnt worry myself, but i just got another low 160 today, and my sections have been -7 average...

did his happen to anyone else? i feel like it's not a nerves issue but idek anymore
