If anyone's interested in meeting up at a café or library to study, let me know! I'd love to put together a study group. I'm based in Brooklyn but can travel.

I have had trouble when it comes to review. Whenever it's time to do blind review or wrong answer journal, it feels like my brain completely turns off. Just going through the motions to say "I did it". When it came to trying to understand the argument and the answer choices, I would just read the explanation and again move on. Not taking the time to understand anything on my own. Just shooting myself in the foot. I did a drill today and on the one question I got wrong, I ignored my first instinct to just read the explanation and move on. I was determined to understand this argument on my own. I broke it down and was able to not only see why my answer choice was incorrect, but what the argument was, I found the gap in the assumption, and was able to see what the correct answer was. It feels like a small win to move forward for effectively but a massive win personally. If anyone else is struggling with this, don't take the easy way out!

I'm an American who went to university in the UK and am now going back to the US for law school. I am wondering if anyone has experience with how law schools see this/how grades are converted to GPAs? Is anyone going through the same process?

I am not sure where else to give this feedback, but I feel like it needs to be said.

I have caught myself four weeks into the practice section of my study plan overdoing the drills. It was not until I checked the AI tutor that I realized that I needed to slow down because my studying was unproductive and I was using up fresh questions at a rapid pace. But, it seems very intuitive as per the study plan to simply generate a block, do said block, and move on. And, since I am studying full-time this summer, I was generating the 6 hour study blocks, leaving no time for anything else. Even with the blind review, and my wrong answer journal, I was doing too many drills without changing my approach to problem questions, etc. Part of this is my fault, and after putting some of my statistics and worries into chat GPT, I was able to figure out a study plan that uses less drills and focuses on my problem sections. I just wish that a study plan like that was more intuitive on this platform. This has been something that I have struggled with all the way since doing fundamentals, as well, because I was struggling to find the time to integrate live/recorded lessons, and other features of 7Sage into my intense study plan.

Anyway, this is both for the makers of 7Sage, and for people who may also be stuck drilling nonstop in the Study Plan portion. It's ok to not generate so many hours of just drills, and devote your time to review of old questions, finding patterns in your Wrong Answer Journal, and focusing on problem areas. :)

I have found that when I take RC sections (and to a lesser extent any later section in a PT), I often have moments when my eyes totally glaze over, and I completely lose focus on what I’m reading. I’ll ‘read’ two or three lines, then have to physically shake my head and re-read, having internalized NOTHING. This also happens when I try to skim for details to confirm answers, I’ll just kind of lose what I’m doing and need to spend mental energy regaining my place in things.

This might not be a strict LSAT issue, but does anyone have any tips for streamlining RC sections in general, or tips to maintain focus on singularly important points?

Hi everyone,

I've been consistently getting -4 on RC lately and I have no clue on how to improve my accuracy, since the question types I get wrong on each practice section differ.

Has anyone else dealt with this issue and have advice to share? I'm aiming for the September test and hope to improve by then!

Ive accidentally skipped blind review so many times, i wish there was a way to go back and do blind review after you have already clicked out of a PT or section

I just moved to Arlington VA this week! I have a 164 official, shooting for a 175. I believe that I would get something out of studying with someone of any ability level. I would love to go through questions, answer them, and discuss with a real person in person (at least sometimes) why they did what they did! Lets learn together :)

I have been studying for the past 3-4 months but feel as if nothing is breaking through. When I drill, I am usually able to understand all my mistakes after review and am constantly note taking. But when I am doing PTs or longer drills- it feels like nothing is breaking through. I FEEL like I know so much more but my actual performance is showing other wise.

My PTs have been 145, 153, 152, 160 (which really encouraged me), 152 and 153.

I have not done the core curriculum or watched videos. I feel as if I am a fail, examine and learn, type of learner, but will of course consider this. Does anyone have any suggestions or any notes? I am so convinced I understand the logic and tricks soooo much more- but in practice it shows otherwise. I KNOW we can all do this, but super disheartened.

Had to get zero wrong out of respect for how many picks the Lakers have left

Hi, could we have a feature that shows us which of the 4 sections were experimental? Also, not sure if this had been addressed- but is there plans to update the BR up to the new law hub appearance?

I am stuck. I am horrible at RC and have been studying for over 6 months now with multiple types of resources (7sage, tutoring, blueprint, powerscore...) and nothing is helping. I cant seem to get better AT ALL. I am not fully sure where my problem is but I am a ESL lsat studier and i don't know if that's why. I will accept any help, any tips and any tricks.

THANK YOU!!!

If you're feeling stuck or de-motivated, you're not alone. Improving your LSAT score takes a lot of practice.

How much? We ran the numbers: https://7sage.com/how-long-to-improve

Hey, I am planning on taking the lsat this in September and I am looking for a study partner(s) in Toronto.

I am aiming for a 170+. We meet up in-person every week, do practice questions and drills together. Help each other out with difficult questions and assist each other to help us get ready for the LSAT.

If you are in Toronto and would be down to study together, message me :)

Hello everyone,

My name is João, and I scored a 171 on the June LSAT. I’m currently offering LSAT tutoring focused on helping students identify and eliminate recurring mistakes through a structured, detail-oriented review process.

As a non-native English speaker, I understand the specific challenges that can come with mastering Logical Reasoning and Reading Comprehension. My own preparation involved breaking down every mistake carefully and building targeted drills to fix weak patterns rather than just doing more practice tests.

What I offer:

1. Free initial consultation to analyze your current performance and identify key improvement areas

2. Detailed review of your PrepTests to detect recurring mistake patterns

3. Personalized drills tailored specifically to your weaknesses

4. Customized study plan focused on efficient score improvement

5. Strategy development for Logical Reasoning (my main strength)

If we are a good fit after the consultation, my rate is $20/hour.

This is best suited for students who are around the 150–160 range and want to break into the 160s or 170s with a more structured and analytical approach.

Feel free to reach out if you’d like to set up a consultation or ask any questions.

Best, João

I love this little critter, it’s a really good motivator and when I need to reason something or have it give suggestions on my WAJ it does a great job. When I’m struggling with something as well it gives great advice that works. However, you can tell once the chat has run off too long because it starts referencing the same 5 things from the beginning of the conversation and god forbid you say something about doing this and going to bed, it’s gonna reference that forever. I think it’d be really helpful to automatically start a new chat every day or something to that effect instead of being forced to when it degrades too much.

The standard schedule administers one preptest a week. I registered for the August test, started with a 166 have a 170+ goal. I was wondering if it would be worthwhile to limit drilling to full sections only, and bringing in a second preptest midweek to simulate testing conditions more frequently. Anyone have insight on this plan?

Hi everyone,

I applied for the 2026 admissions cycle and did not get into the schools I wanted. Because of that fact I decided retake the LSAT and reapply for fall 2027. I am almost certain my LSAT score was the defining factor in those decisions, but was curious about my personal statement. I felt my personal statement was strong, but when it comes to reapplying to schools I applied to this year, is it smart to change it up? Or the better question I suppose is, does it look bad if I resubmit the same personal statements from the previous year?

After I have published a note, I cannot seem to edit it anymore. Anyone else having this issue. Clicking "Edit Note" does nothing for me.

Hi everyone,

I have cerebral palsy with severe muscle spasms, and I'm planning to take the LSAT this fall.

I'm wondering if anyone here has cerebral palsy or another condition with severe spasms. How do you manage studying on difficult days? Do you have any tips for staying consistent or preparing for the LSAT while dealing with chronic pain and muscle spasms?

I'd really appreciate any advice or experiences you're willing to share. Thank you!

I like the question analytics feature where it shows your accuracy with certain question types and will also show you what the level of accuracy for that question type is for those who achieve your goal score. I am wondering if there can be a feature added that will calculate out an estimate LSAT score for someone based on their accuracy with each question type.

I feel this feature would allow people to see in real time what increases in accuracy with certain question types is doing for them. Maybe someone in the course of a week only increase some question types by 3-5% and feel discouraged if the suggested accuracy is still 15% away, but this feature could hopefully counteract that by showing the affect on someone's predicted score - something that all of us care about greatly due to the consequences the score can have for us.

Obviously a disclaimer regarding the accuracy of such a feature would be important, since the only real way to be confident in reaching that score is to take PTs to simulate the actual exam and built mental endurance, but I still think this would have its uses as a motivation for people.

This is part of how I got to a 177 PT after 4 weeks of studying.

Hi! I have a master's degree in education, and I'm currently using it to minmax my studying for this test using some of the most foundational things that teachers learn about in college. That means I want to put in the least amount of study hours and have the maximum retention and mastery of the material. I'd like to share with you what I know, so you, too, can steal my study methods.

I'd like to introduce y'all to a framework called Bloom's Taxonomy. This is one tool teachers are using when they create lesson plans and decide what order students should learn things in. This is also the very foundation of what I'm doing to accelerate my study timeline.

No matter what curriculum you're using to study for the LSAT, you should not be starting off with immediately doing questions*. Instead, you need to learn the very most basic facts and concepts and understand what you're reading. Most people think that this means that they should skim the article, maybe watch the video for a little bit, and then call it a day. "Okay, I've done the reading, now I can apply." No. Without truly understanding what you just read and internalizing it, you cannot get the apply, analyze, and evaluate stages of Bloom's taxonomy (which is where the questions live). And I'll be honest, this part, the understand and remember stage, does require a little bit of front-loading the material. Meaning, you might put more hours into this stage than any other stage.

So what does internalizing something mean? How do I do it repeatably, easily, and fluidly? It's not really a one-size-fits-all kind of situation, but the "topic learning cycle" I outline below can really improve your retention. It may not work for everyone, but it is one framework based on the science of how people actually learn that works for me.

1. Day 1 of a topic: Be an active reader. This means finding ways to connect with the text using some level of background knowledge. This means asking questions of the text and actively summarizing in your brain as you read. I'll probably make a separate post on the details of active reading strategies we teach in k-12.

2. Day 1: Check your understanding. This is different than the Apply stage on Bloom's. Checking your understanding means perhaps doing a skill builder or a you try (caution - this does involve going beyond the understand level of Bloom's sometimes) about the material that you just consumed. If there isn't a Skill Builder published about that reading, or there isn't a you try published about that reading, then you need to design it yourself as you're reading. One way you can do this is anytime you have a question about the reading, write that question down on an index card. Then, if the answer comes up later, write that answer down on the back side. Then compile all your index cards and quiz yourself with them.

3. Day 2: Only take notes on the second pass! The first time you read something, it should be purely for understanding. The second time, you should take notes on what you remember as the most important things in the reading. This should ideally happen at least a day after you did the reading the first time.

4. Day 3: Compile your notes, any quiz questions you made for yourself, and any key terms from the reading into an Anki deck. While I have my own, it is way more effective if you make it for yourself. Identifying what to put in the deck is part of the learning process.

5. Day 4 and beyond: use spaced repetition, which is what Anki is for, to continue to review the material as you add new material in (note - Anki will not be the only way you use this material, it is just the foundation).

Does this mean that you're taking four days to learn each topic? Yes, but you shouldn't be only learning one topic at a time. There's a reason I said this was a cycle:

1. Day 1: learn one topic.

2. Day 2: review the first topic and add in a second.

3. Day 3: review topics one and two and add in a third.

What do I mean by one topic? Well, there isn't an easy, clear-cut answer for this. One topic could mean just one reading here on 7Sage. It could also mean all of the content in a module. It really depends on you: how much your brain can handle learning at once and how long you have to study.

Now, I know I just said that you probably shouldn't be using actual LSAT questions during this stage, but there are a couple exceptions. You could probably safely do the Main Conclusion and Argument Part questions as soon as you have memorized all of the argument indicator words and understand what an argument structure is. That might be getting to apply just a little bit, but I would argue it's still mostly in the understand stage

By taking the time to truly internalize each topic that you learn, you'll be much better prepared to move on to the apply, analyze, and evaluate stages of Bloom's taxonomy. That's the end of this post, but I'll probably make another one about the higher stages later on.

*yes, you should take a diagnostic.

I'll be traveling this weekend and won't have internet access but would love to spend the time studying. Is there a way to use any of 7Sage's features offline? Or does anybody have any recommendations on offline studying?
