Hi! I am a prospective applicant who just graduated with an undergrad degree at the end of May. I was planning to take a gap year before law school and have been applying to jobs while I study for the LSAT (which I am taking in August). But so far, I have struck out in the job market. Does anyone know how long is too long before a gap off work is a red flag? And does anyone have any advice on how to land a job that could help my application?

Hey everyone,

4 weeks out from my August test and stuck in a frustrating pattern. BR sits at 168-172 consistently across 7 PTs but raw score won't break out of the 155-158 range. Best raw was 164 (PT153), but I keep reverting.

Three gaps show up as uncorrected misses on every single PT:

1. Causal reasoning (Flaw, Weaken, MSS, PhenHyp)

2. Conditional reasoning (SA, Parallel Flaw, Conditional Flaw)

3. RC — Implied and Author's perspective questions

Have 200% time accommodations so test conditions are closer to BR conditions than standard. Currently drilling causal and conditional reasoning specifically since the lessons alone didn't stick.

Three questions:

1. What finally closed the BR gap for you?

2. Any advice for making causal/conditional reasoning click beyond just rewatching lessons?

3. when recording in your WAJ is it necessary to record questions you got right on BR or only ones you missed the second time around?

Appreciate any input.

Hello,

Would it be possible to have the new UI here have font that more closely resembles the LSAC's actual new UI? The comic sans-esque version currently is driving me crazy.

I am really struggling with conditional reasoning and diagramming. I have reviewed the core curriculum and foundations extensively, but it just has not seemed to click for me. I am not sure what I am doing wrong here, trying to see if anyone has found themselves in a situation before and what helped you get out of this and get better at conditional reasoning/making diagrams.

I just checked LawHub to see the new interface for the August test, and I noticed it's slightly different from the current 7Sage format.

Can anyone explain what the "Keyboard Highlight" feature does? It doesn't seem to do anything on my end.

I also don't see any highlighter or underline tools.

Finally, is it correct that after selecting text, I have to click the "Highlight" button to actually highlight it? Or is this just a bug? It feels extremely inconvenient because the text used to be highlighted automatically as soon as I selected it. Having to click "Highlight" every time seems like an unnecessary extra step. :(

Hi, everyone! I'm between jobs right now and am taking advantage of the situation by studying full time. It's been 3 weeks, and while I'm making progress, I'm starting to feel the burnout creeping in. It's getting harder to force myself through the drills--the days just feel so monotonous. In an attempt to help, I've been studying at different cafes each day and started volunteering at my local animal shelter, but I'm still having trouble. I'm taking the LSAT in September and still have a month or so before starting my new job, and I want to optimize this free time as best as I can.

Does anyone have any tips for overcoming burnout? Any thoughts are appreciated!🩷

Hi y'all, I have been studying on and off for a couple of months, and don't seem to be improving much. I began with a 168 diagnostic, and have been consistently scoring in that range on drills and sections, as well as PTs with the exception of some outliers. My practice doesn't seem to be showing improvement at all, and I'm wondering if anyone has any advice for what to work on. My goal for the August exam is 172.

Hi I'm looking for a study group/ friends to study with, in person, in San Diego! I love studying at libraries or coffee shops!! let me know if you're interested!!

I am writing this in an attempt to help someone studying/taking the LSAT. Scored 154 in November, started lightly studying again in December and took the January LSAT and scored 149. Stopped studying. In April, I decided to take the June LSAT, leaving two months to study. Scored a 161. Some advice:

Beginning Stages

• Don't spend large amounts of money on test preparation courses. I bought a course and made the mistake of extending it. To get the foundations of the LSAT, go to LawHub, review the Lessons, take notes. The issue with test preparation courses is that they can be generic and categorize certain concepts differently than LSAC.

• Taking 3-4 months to build a foundation is a good start.

• Take the Drill Sets and Additional Practice offered in LawHub (some offer explanations).

Practice

• Keep an error log. Originally, this looked like an Excel spreadsheet where I broke down which question types I was getting wrong. I reviewed which were the most common question types I was missing and then put them in a Drill Set in 7sage. Difficulty level was Medium, Harder. I needed to be uncomfortable by being consistently wrong and would reference my notes to expand on areas that needed to improve.

• Error log transitioned from an Excel spreadsheet to a doc. Would screenshot the passage and answer choices and write out why I chose the answer that I chose, what part of the passage was missed, and impressions of the other answer choices. The error log was organized based on question type.

Help

• LSATHacks (free resource that gives additional explanations): https://lsathacks.com/explanations/

If you are having difficulty with the LSAT, that is a good thing, it means you are learning in some capacity. Some approaches to questions will not be automatic, keep an open mind and sometimes resist your natural inclination towards a specific answer type. Practice whenever you can, I cannot emphasize this enough. Good luck on your process.

We released two new games to train RC microskills:

Train of Thought

• Think about the purpose of statements as you re-arrange jumbled paragraphs into an order that makes sense.

Referential Roundup

• Practice being specific about what words like it, such, and this refer to.

We're collecting feedback and will improve these games based on it. So far we've seen a lot of calls for more content within specific games to make them more replayable, more difficulty, persistent records for high scores and ability to review past gameplay. We've also seen calls for more games training conditional logic translations and RC skills. Keep the feedback coming.

Hi, I'm Nick! I work primarily with students who feel stuck despite doing a lot of practice and who need a clearer system for understanding why they’re missing questions.

I went from 158 --> 178 in 4 months by learning how to diagnose my mistakes and change how I approached the test. I now work with students using that same approach, focusing on underlying reasoning issues that lead to fast, durable score improvements. I’m a good fit for students who want structured feedback and are willing to think carefully about their mistakes—not just do more questions.

You can find more about my tutoring philosophy and availability on my website. Happy to answer any questions!

Now you can change any study day to a rest day or vice versa, so that as your plans change, your study schedule can change too.

Try it on your study plan today!

Is there a way to customize RC Drills to filter for passages where I answered multiple questions wrong? I know there is an "Incorrect Ever" filter, but I think this would include passages where I only got one answer wrong. I'd like to be able to revisit passages that I had a particularly difficult time with when I first started studying in order to see how my RC has improved.

I'm struggling with the application of SA because for me- the word "sufficient" denotes- just barely enough..."suffice it to say" for example...when ACTUALLY the meaning is stronger.

How would you explain this concept to me in a more basic way not using the word "sufficient."? Is "trigger" correct? Conclusion enforcer? Powerful premise?

Thank you!

Hi! I need some advice on what dates I should register for. I started studying about a month ago and am looking to register for either a September or October testing day so that I can send in applications by the end of October. Should I...

1) register for the September date (less time to study, more time to work on app)

2) register for the October date

or 3) sign up for both, take the first one, and decide once scores come out if I need to take the other one

I understand that there is a high price for registering so I am hesitant to sign up for both but I do also feel like its a smart choice conceptually. Considering I have only taken the test one other time, I know I have more opportunities to take the test but it's so scary knowing I have a finite number of chances.

Any advice or additional considerations would be greatly appreciated!

When I'm doing a timed section, if I pause the timer, I often forget to unpause it when I continue. This can mess up an entire practice test! I really liked how the UI would hide/blur the question when paused. At least give us the option to toggle this on/off.

Ok, I just realized that when I was clicking the timer, it just hid the countdown, it didn't actually pause it and I can pause it by opening the menu and clicking the pause button. It's kind of scary how long it took me to realize that clicking the timer wasn't actually pausing the timer. This is a really unintuitive UX. Are we allergic to words with modern design these days? Something like "hide countdown" would have made it clear what was going on

I love the study plan and how it adapts to my performance. One addition I'd find valuable: dedicated "Test Day" and "Review Day" types. I take a PT every Saturday and review it every Sunday, but right now the only way to block those days off is to mark them as rest days, which doesn't reflect what's actually happening and probably throws off the adaptive scheduling around them.

I have a few quick questions about the LSAC GPA. Hopefully someone can help :)

I ended up undergrad with a 3.84 from my institution. My school only did A, B, or C, etc without the + or -.

I had 33 straight up A's and then 7 B's. The only other differences are some summer classes that I took from a different institution that come just as credits, not grades. Will that hurt my LSAC GPA?

I have one class that I dropped a week into the semester and it just has a "W" next to it. I didn't fail it or spend any time in it. My academic counselor just thought I needed to take it but I did not.

Hopefully this makes sense! Already struggling on the GPA side so I am hoping that LSAC does not destroy me.

UPDATE - I calculated my LSAC GPA and it's a 3.85.

Every time that I updated a grade to an A+, it made my GPA go up. You're telling me that if you just went to a school that offered A+ that it would boost your GPA that much? What a scam...

So I took the LSAT in June and didn't get the score I wanted. I can do consistently well on LR (missing maybe 1-3 each section), but then I absolutely goof every RC section (missing as many as 10-12 questions per section). I only joined 7sage a few weeks ago when I got my scores and I'm planning on retaking in September. Until now, I've studied completely on my own using Lawhub advantage.

So in y'all's experience, have you been able to see consistent improvement in your RC sections through 7sage?

Studying on my own, I think I actually declined in my RC scores which has got me feeling bummed, but I just need to know if there's hope for improvement.

my AI coach keeps giving me the response "Sorry, something went wrong while generating a response." I keep trying to reload the page or exit out but it doesn't seem to be working...

Is anyone else encountering the AI coach crashing and saying: "Sorry, something went wrong while generating a response." If so how can I fix this issue? Thanks!

Hello, I was wondering if there would be Office Hours for this month? I'm not seeing them under the Live Classes, but want to make sure if that's an error on my part. Thanks!

This was 6 points below my average and I couldn’t be happier. I took 2 1/2 weeks off for work and last week did 120 hours “at the job”. I’m happy that with all the work I can put up a decent score under worst possible conditions.
