Hi. I am planning on taking the LSAT this October of 2025. I would like a study partner. I am also looking to start or join an established LSAT study group in NYC. We can meet in person in Brooklyn or Manhattan or just do most of the work online by Zoom. I plan to take 1-2 tests each week and blind review them. I live in Brooklyn Heights. Contact me on here with your contact information. Thanks!

My RC score is the only thing really holding me back from breaking into the higher 160s and low 170s and I find that like 80% of the RC questions I get on a PT are implied or stated questions (mainly implied). There's only one page in the syllabus for implied RC questions and I am not really sure how to drill them, does anyone have any advice about how to improve on these types of questions or what to do to practice them more often?

I've been using 7sage for well over a year. Meaning I have thousands of questions I've already answered and numerous PT's I've already taken. I want to transfer as much data as possible so I don't accidentally run out of material, or on the other side, end up redoing a bunch of questions I've already done. For now I've had to have two tabs open in order to create drills on the new page, using my data from the old site.

One of the staff suggested redoing my PTs on the new site with my old answers, but that would take me several hours at least. Several hours I could spend studying.

Does anyone have a more efficient way to transfer stuff over? At the very least questions ad PT's I've already taken?? Any other suggestions for starting over completely on the new site?

I don't care about the Core Curriculum progress at all, though I wish it were that easy to check box questions and PTs I've already done.

Any suggestions are appreciated, bonus points if I don't have to spend hours upon hours or days upon days to move stuff over.

One of the major shortfall I'm currently having is questions that deal with intersecting sets. Really just sets in general. I really liked the link assumption tag, because it helped me work on logic chains.

All the questions I got wrong dealt with it. I was wondering if anyone else noticed having a similar deficit? Any specific questions types I should focus on?

Making Things Stick in RC

I'm seeking advice on Reading Comprehension. Oftentimes I'm reading and i comprehend each word but when I finish a paragraph I think "what the hell did I just read?" It's not that I don't understand what I'm reading it's just that sometimes it doesn't "stick". What strategies do you guys use to engage more deeply with what you read such that it stays in your mind? How do you retain the content of the passage as well as its purpose in the overall passage flow?

So far, these are the strategies that I try to use:

  • "Translation" as you read, like they discussed in the core curriculum.
  • I try to picture it as I read. Any way to visualize what's going on in some memorable way. Sometimes I let people in my memory be visual stand-ins for other people referenced in the passage. All this simply in an effort to make what I read stick.
  • Try to make high-level logical connections while I read. I try (not always successfully) to connect sentences and paragraphs to the purpose I anticipate the author having. It's like trying to give the content a role. I'm attempting to understand the "what" and the "why" (role) while I read.
  • All this is what I am now attempting but still at times I find myself understanding words but not comprehending the whole.

    Any tips from those of you to whom this comes a bit easier? Or, maybe more importantly, from those of you for whom this content is difficult but which you have improved on.

    thanks in advance.

    Wondering if anyone else has this issue of answering then doing blind review and your first answer is right but you then doubt it and overthink and choose a wrong one. How much does intuition play into this test

    Answering LSAT questions is a lot like finding a boyfriend or girlfriend. I look at all my options and eventually feel an attraction and connection with one of them. I don't have a lot of time, but something in my subconscious draws me to it. But then I get this weird feeling, and I hesitate because I don't want to pick the wrong one and regret my decision later

    Hi! I took my diagnostic yesterday and I am hoping to take the August LSAT. I finished the Arguments section, and I am wondering what the practice test timeline should be? When should I take my first PT after my diagnostic? I know 7sage says to not take more than 1-2 PTs a week, but when should you begin taking them regularly?

    Hey, I'm taking the June and September LSAT. I'm looking for an accountability partner or small group to keep the momentum going over the summer. Studying alone has made me lazy. I was thinking it’d be cool to meet up at coffee shops, libraries, or any quiet, chill spots around the city to study together or check in weekly. Or zooms.

    If you’re into the idea of structured study sessions, goal setting and mutual encouragement (plus finding some nice study-friendly places around Chicago), hit me up! Open to schedules and styles—whether you’re just starting or deep in prep. We can also work on personal essays and resumes! Let’s help each other stay focused and sane 😊

    I swear recommenders ghosting you is a necessary part of the application process.

    Anyway, back in early March, I reached out to three professors (I graduated 2023) to see if they'd be willing to write for me, and all of them said yes. 2/3 have completed the letters, but one of them still hasn't, despite me asking for it to be completed by the end of April. When they said they would do it, they asked for extra materials like a rough personal statement, which I provided. No response, which is fine. Since then, I have emailed them a reminder with a resent LSAC link (another recommender wanted a reminder, so I sent them to any remaining recommenders), and no response. At this point, I'm not sure what to do. This recommender enthusiastically said they would write for me and very clearly remembered me, but I've gotten zilch. I know the end of their semester was a lot, which is why when I emailed them and said end of April, I included this acknowledgement and that if they had another target date in mind to please let me know.

    What are some recommended steps? I'm not sure how active this person is on their email during the summer. Should I tweak my resume and send it as a "hey, here is an updated document to better help you" or something like that?

    I plan on sending my apps in September/right when I get my August LSAT back, so waiting for their fall semester to start seems less than ideal. Should I just reach out to a former employer instead? (I'm SE now and work under an NDA, so I can't ask someone in my current position).

    It seems like ghosting recommenders are part of the process, and I would love some advice for how to move forward. I've never really needed to ask for a letter of rec before, so someone ghosting me is all new, and I'm a first gen so I don't have anyone I can really ask.

    Anyway, in early March, I reached out to three profs (graduated 2 years ago) to see if they'd be willing to write for me. They all enthusiastically said yes, and 2/3 have written their letters (yay!). But another has completely ghosted me. I had asked for it to be completed by the end of April and if that was a problem for them to please let me know what their target date could be, and that hasn't happened. When they agreed, they asked for a resume and a rough personal statement, so I sent them that and got no response. No sweat. As it neared my given deadline, I sent them a reminder, again including that if they need a different date to let me know because I completely understand how busy the time can be. Again, absolutely no response. I am taking the August LSAT and planning on submitting my apps when I get that score back, so I would be wary on waiting for their fall semester to start up since that would be when I am already submitting them and would be an ASAP request, which likely wouldn't help me.

    I'm nervous about sending another reminder because I don't want to make them upset. Should I tweak my resume (I could add more work history since I have a bit of experience), then send it with the idea of "I updated some of my materials and think they may help you as you write"? Or, should I just throw in the towel and ask a former employer instead? My worry with the former employer is that they may use ChatGPT for it, and I'm not sure if admissions would frown upon me for that. Again, first gen, so I just have no clue. Thank you for any help! :)

    Feature Requests

    I wasn't sure where the best place to put this would be, but I've been using this platform for a couple of days now, and there are some features that would smooth the rough edges of my experience:

  • Create drills from incorrectly answered questions from practice tests and other drills
  • There is already a feature that lets you create drills from questions you answered incorrectly the last time you saw them, but after completing those drills and getting those questions correct, they disappear from that list.

    After taking some practice tests, I think it would be useful to be able to create drills from a bank of questions you specifically got wrong on those practice tests.

  • Create drills while keeping certain tests "clean" for practice tests
  • I still have months of studying left to do, and I would like to be able to set aside let's say 5-10 practice tests, so that when I take them, I have never seen a single question on that test before.

  • Better navigation with the browser history API
  • I like the web app in general, but I find using the back button on my browser does not navigate me inuitively.

    To give an example of behavior I expect:

    If you go to google maps, search for a location, then click the location, it brings up some info about that location. If you then click the back button in your browser, that info goes away. If you click the back button a second time, it undoes your search.

    The back button nowadays is used more for navigating between states than simply navigating between different web pages.

    Hey guys,

    I'm organizing an LSAT discord study group specifically for people stuck in the range 166-170 and want to get to about 173-176. The key issue this discord group addresses is the lack of community for students who have finished the curriculum and are now looking for a community to PT or do drills with.

    Tentatively, we'll have weekly study-together sessions, voice channels, and a buddy system. See you on Discord:)

    How to Start Again

    Hi!

    I've been studying on and off for the LSAT since March 2023 and have applied twice but haven't gotten in anywhere. I stopped studying early this year around January but I'm starting again soon. The only program I've used is 7sage but I'm starting to think maybe that's what's keeping my score in the range of 50-160. I'm wondering if anyone has any tips or other resources I should use/pair up with the 7sage curriculum to boost my score for when I write the test again. Thank you!

    I just finished my second year of law school, and it's been an okay experience. I found the LSAT more enjoyable, and the people I met during my preparation were amazing study partners. We had so many great study sessions over Zoom, which were a lot of fun. I really miss you, my study buddies! I hope your law school experience turns out to be as rewarding as your journey with the LSAT!

    So, if you are studying for the LSAT now, be sure to enjoy the LSAT and make the most of your time with your friends. Study together as much as you can.

    Hello,

    Has anyone experienced large losses in time when taking 7Sage's practice test? For context, I am losing large chunks of time, some 10+ minutes, while taking sections on the practice test. Additionally, I'm currently testing with time and a half.

    I'd love to hear if anyone is experiencing similar problems or has found a solution. I'd hate to leave the platform for one that functions properly. I've had a positive experience with 7Sage so far, but this is negatively impacting me on exams.
