I have been grinding the LSAT for so long. It has been two years of 3-5 month intervals of studying for the actual test. Currently, my highest score on the actual test has been a 160, which really angers me because I did great on the 1st section (LR), second section (RC), third section (LR), and then AWFUL on the fourth section (RC). Of course, the second section was experimental. This was in January of this year (I believe), I decided to apply to LSU (where I reside), and A&M (my dream school) with a 160 and 3.92 GPA. Of course I didn't get into A&M because the median is a 168, however I did get into LSU. I decided to not attend LSU after graduation though because I wanted one more chance at getting into A&M. So, since March I have been studying the LSAT once again. I was getting a 161-164 on PT but my issues resided in the Reading Sections. I would miss 0-3 questions on each LR but miss 9-12 on Reading. Because of this, I decided to GRIND and LEARN the Reading Section. After 2 months, I had made little progress, missing roughly 6-9 on each RC section. Finally, I decided to get a tutor, specifically for the Reading Section. It worked! Well kind of, his teachings were decent but the most important contribution he taught me was to STOP CARING. I hadn't been realizing before getting a tutor that I would try to add in extra details through outside knowledge / contribute to the text random things and assumptions so that the passage would make more sense, the passage would feel WHOLE. He made me stop this. He insisted that I stop caring about understanding the passage, and instead focused on the concrete words that they gave me. This helped me tremendously. My following PT (3 weeks ago), I scored a 168, missing four on the RC. Then last week, I scored a 167, missing four on the RC. Due to the increased attention on RC and diminished focus on LR, I have been missing 2-5 on LR. I have started to balance each category in the previous days to seek my upmost potential. The reason I am writing this is because today I am stressed out. I decided to look up the stats on A&M and I basically HAVE to reach a 170 now in order to be accepted. I am now very stressed because my test is in August and I plan on applying by October for the greatest chances. It makes me so angry knowing that I have to be a top 5% test taker in order to get into a top 30 law school. I understand that law schools are proportional in rankings with lsat medians, but like, WHY do they make it so hard. I am angry because I can blind review exams and make a 179 easily, also I can drill all day long and get 95% of the questions correct and then explain why an answer is correct and not correct. All of this forced studying that I have been doing for two years just to make it into my dream school and i'm scared that I won't get in, or worse, that I won't get a score that accurately reflects my knowledge of the LSAT. Sorry for being such a downer right now. I was using this forum as my own journal, I guess. Will probably make a copy of this for the therapist after test day. Good luck all!!!

What is a Sufficient Condition?

What is a necessary condition?

how do I know which is which in context?

Is it possible to change the settings for when I take a practice test to get rid of the experimental section?

I first attempted this behemoth in 2017 right after undergrad. In hindsight, I was not ready. I tried again in 2024 but mistakingly applied and got denied from one law school. For my third attempt, I am implementing new strategies such as 7Sage and will be applying to 7 law schools. Be Patient with yourself & always try again.

Which live classes are best to attend? Just beginner ones? Do I drill? I've read others say to hold off on significant drilling until you finish CC.

Is this the proper way to translate this conditional?

Paul must enroll in Econ 101 or Poly Sci 101, but not both.

Translation:

Econ 101 <-> /Poly Sci 101

Poly Sci 101 <-> /Econ 101

My understanding is that this is a bi conditional because it combines group 3 (or) and group 4 (not both), so we would know what Paul does in regards to both classes based on his enrollment or non-enrollment in either class.

Anyone in the North Dallas area looking to study together for the November exam?

Anyone based in Raleigh, NC want to form a study group?

I'm running into a situation where I get most of the questions that require formal logic right, but only after taking a good 5 minutes mapping out the logic in the stimulus. If I don't go through this exercise I need to guess the answer most of the time (unless the logic is as straightforward as a couple simple if/then statements). I will obviously not have the luxury of all of this time on the test. Any tips on how to get faster at mapping out formal logic?

Is the difference between the two that one has "if true" and the other doesn't?

I would like to take one timed LR section (~25 questions in 35 minutes). Do I just take one section from one of the full PTs or create a drill set? Is there another way of doing this I am missing?

Also: While taking a PT, how do I flag questions I want to review in BR?

Hello, I am currently scoring around 133 and need help O:

If yall are down to study together my discord is estv360

Does anyone want to meet on zoom 5:30-7:30 PST, mondays, weds, fridays to work on sections/passages and discuss answers/methods? mostly looking to do problems on my own and then discuss. aiming to take the test in sept/oct

The LSAT (Law School Admission Test) is widely considered a challenging exam—but not because it tests specific knowledge like history or math. Instead, it measures critical thinking, analytical reasoning, and reading comprehension skills. These are not necessarily "taught" in most traditional classrooms, which makes the test feel unfamiliar and tough for many students at first.

One reason the LSAT is difficult is its time pressure. Each section is strictly timed, leaving very little room for hesitation. You’re required to read dense texts, understand abstract arguments, and solve logic puzzles—all within tight deadlines. The Logical Reasoning and Analytical Reasoning (Logic Games) sections are especially tricky if you're not used to that style of thinking.

That said, the LSAT is very learnable. With consistent practice, a good prep plan, and proper understanding of test strategies, many students significantly improve their scores. It’s not about memorizing facts, but rather about training your brain to recognize patterns, make inferences, and manage time effectively. So while it’s a tough test, it’s definitely manageable with preparation—and many find it even enjoyable once they understand how it works.

Does anyone have any recommendations for diagnostic tests?

Anyone studying for the test in SF want to meet up and/or try to create a study group?

Hey yall, just subscribed to 7sage. I wanted to do a practise section with a show answer option to warm up, but this function is unavailable. I understand that this is because of the emphasis on the blind review model which i think will be beneficial. I havent been able to find a proper explanation of how blind review works on this site tho. where might I find an explanation? are you able to do blind review for practise sections or just full tests? is there an option to toggle it? how does BR work? does it automatically take you to a blind review part following the section?

Taking test in August. At this point, taking a prep test every week. I want to take the ones that are most accurate to test day. Are these the most recent ones? in the 150s range?

Hi everyone, this might sound a little silly, but does anyone else have the constant urge to check the right answer after every question? I'm trying to break this habit, but I can't help it! Even during prep test I'm still constantly checking the right answer on a separate tab.

I keep having this issue where my energy and focus plummet after around the 2nd section of a practice test. How can I keep energized and focused while taking PTs?

You can now import your PT results from classic.7sage.com here:

This will work as long as your email address for both accounts are the same. Unfortunately, BR results will not import.

Hey all! I'm preparing for my LSAT in October and would like to build a study group. I'm based in SE PA, near York, Harrisburg, and Lancaster. Anyone interested?

I am not sure how and when to drill. Do I drill after each section? If so, how do I know which types of questions to do? I’m still on foundations and haven’t started LR yet, FYI.
