Hi All,
Here are the office hours times this week! You can find me under the discussion page (here) on the bottom left where it says "Tutor Office Hour" at these times! Hope to see some of y'all there!
I went to the University of Toronto with a Bachelors of Computer Science. My GPA is around 2.9. I want to apply for Canadian law schools near Toronto/anywhere in the GTA.
I went through some financial instability and traumatic experiences which significantly made it harder for me to live, let alone perform well in school despite endlessly studying. I also pursued a Specialist degree which means I rarely had electives, most of my required credits were for technical courses (programming, theory, calculus, statistics, etc.) so my GPA reflects that. I did do better in my fourth/fifth year where I had more humanities electives (I perform much better in writing courses) and wasn't overloaded with credits.
Can anyone give me some insight on what my LSAT score should aim to be, and how realistic it really is for me to apply? I'm having some serious doubts in myself because of my GPA.
NEVER GIVE UP GUYS!!!!!!!!!! ROCK LEE MENTALITY!!!!!!! BE EVERYTHING YOU WANT TO BE!!!!!
So, I just signed up for the June LSAT... I was hesitant to do so because I felt like I've been seeing little improvement, but I decided I could take the test again in September if push came to shove. For context, I had a 164 diagnostic (it was timed and under real test conditions), and that was at the beginning of March. I have been pretty stagnant for my scaled score, and my raw score has stayed consistent or gone up by around 5. I know I have the potential to do it because on some timed sections I've been able to consistently score -1/-2 but recently, with finals, I've been stressed and my scores have declined.
I'm hoping now that that craziness is gone and I have all of May to study, I will see a lot of improvement, but does anyone have any tips? Is this realistic? I seem to be falling for trap answers when I get down to 2 choices and running out of time at the end of my tests.
Hi, wondering if I should retest and reapply or start school in the fall. Here are my stats
160 lsat, 3.86 ugpa, 4.0 masters in human rights gpa and currently working with crime victims. First gen student and urm.
I got waitlisted to BC, BU, Columbia, Northeastern, and Brooklyn
I have a scholarship that covers nearly all tuition at a T100 school and I’d like to go into public interest law. I feel like I could do better than this school but I’m not sure if I want to delay law school further. Any advice?
Hi everyone! I’ve been on the self-study live plan for about 8 weeks now, and I’m currently in week 8 of 11 of the foundations phase. I actually started studying back in January 2026 on my own, then joined 7Sage in February.
I feel like I’m improving, but I haven’t had a clear checkpoint yet to see how I compare to my initial diagnostic, which is making me a little unsure about where I stand. When do you all usually start taking practice exams? Is that something the schedule will guide me into, or should I be starting on my own around this point?
Just want to make sure I’m on track and not falling behind, would really appreciate any advice!
Let me start by saying I LOVE the 7Sage WAJ template. I however found it more helpful to keep track using an excel. I find this helps me build Drills on days I'm feeling scattered so I can group by Question Types. Additionally, I can color code questions to revisit that I've learned my mistakes, and ones that still need work. Including screenshot below! 
Hi all!
I will be holding office hours every day this week at the same time (6-7pm EST//5-6pm CST//3-4pm PST) Hope to see some of y'all there!
To answer some FAQs:
What are office hours?
Office hours are an opportunity to ask a 7Sage LSAT tutor (in this case me) any LSAT-related question you want! A lot of people bring specific LSAT questions they want explained, but you can come and ask general questions too or just hang out and listen! It's kind of like a smaller, less structured, and more interactive live class.
Where are office hours?
They are on this page (discussion) and if you are on browser you can find them on the bottom left where it says "Tutor Office Hour." You can also just click this link.
Who can come to office hours?
Anyone! They are free for all and for any subscription level.
Where is the weekly schedule posted?
I post the schedule here every week and it can also be found on the live classes page.
It would be amazing if the questions could link to live class sections where that question was covered so we can see it in action and almost check to see if our thought process/approach was right.
Hi! I am taking the LSAT in June, and am consistently scoring 165 on full, timed practice tests (my last actual was 160). Any tips for hitting 170+?
Hi all, how is everyone treating these few weeks between taking the LSAT and receiving the results. I don't want to totally stop studying so I try to do some drills - but I find it very hard to focus and want to study. But I don't want to lose momentum and get out of the groove.
Hi everyone! I’m wondering whether there is a way to adjust the balance of LR vs RC drills in the practice section of your study plan. Right now it gives me basically 3.5 days a week of LR and 1.5 of RC, but I’m pretty solid on LR and need more RC practice. Is there a way to customize your practice schedule to achieve a more even balance without ignoring my study plan and just doing drills outside of it? Would like to have them laid out for me automatically and be able to track how many I’ve done/have yet to do for the day/week. Thanks!
I've been using the Adaptive Drills a lot, but I was wondering if there could be another drilling feature to mimic the question difficulty order to match the real LSAT.
For example, on the current Adaptive drills, within a 10 Q set, a 5 star could be in the middle and the last 3 questions could be 1-2 stars. What if this other drilling feature could generate within a 10Q set 1-2 stars towards the beginning, mix of 3-5 stars from middle to the end, or a sequence that mimics the real LSAT?
Also, would it be possible to have a timer setting where on top of the current timing conditions (standard, 150%, 200%), you could choose to continue the clock, even if you run out of time? Let's say that you have a drill of 10Q that you want to do in 100%. You would click this additional time button on the drill generate page. When you are doing the drill, everything is the same until you finish the 100% timer. Once you hit 0:00, the clock starts counting back in red or another color and you have time to do finish the drill but in over time. Once you finish the drill and BR, you can see the timing you got in the 100% time and the extended time.
My reason for suggesting the timing feature is that sometimes I do a drill and don't get to finish the drill. I just run out of time. So, I see the question for the first time in BR, which means I don't really get to BR those missed questions. It would be great if you could have equal chances to BR on questions you answered and questions you missed in the selected timing.
Thanks 7sage Team!!

Hey everyone,
I am currently six months pregnant and I have zero motivation or energy to study. I wanted to retake the LSAT in August but I will have a new born so that is not ideal for me. However, I do plan on taking it January 2027 so I can have the whole year to study. What can I do to study?
Also, are there any study groups in Raleigh, North Carolina? or anyone in NC that wants to be study buddy?
Hi!
I am a first year teacher getting ready for the EOC exam and trying to study for the LSAT, my biggest problem is juggling work and my crippling self-doubt. I know I wanna take my test closer to August or September but I need help on just getting over myself and setting a real plan.
Looking for a study group in Ottawa that can study at 6pm ET. Please join if available.
I've been wrestling with a few particularly tricky necessary assumption (NA) questions (PT116.S2.Q16 and PT127.S2.Q20) where I find myself quite unconvinced with the right answer. I won't spoil those qs in particular, but spending some time with them + re-reading a prepbook section on NA questions has gotten me to the following understanding:
Steps for NA assumption q (e.g. "which of the following must be assumed for the argument to hold"):
Identify the conclusion (C) and support (S).
Roughly identify the gap/weak point between C and S.
Go through each answer choice -- which one is required for the argument to hold?
More on step 3:
Step 3 is where I've gotten tripped up. A straightforward reading of "which one is required for the argument to hold?" = "If the assumption is false then the argument does not hold." i.e. negate the answer choice, and check if the argument is destroyed. I think this works the majority of the time but requires a little more nuance for some qs.
There are times where "if the assumption is false then the argument is severely weakened (but not destroyed)" seems to be the correct answer. (Another tricky nuance is that the assumption could be needed, not sufficient enough on its own to fill the gap in the argument and still be the correct answer).
What seems to never be the correct answer is an answer choice that goes beyond what is required.
The reason I find this confusing is that you could be faced with two ACs (and I contend PT116.S2.Q16 and PT127.S2.Q20 are examples of this) where neither of two answer choices seems to be strictly necessary, but the narrower one is correct.
Would appreciate any thoughts/pushback on this!!
Has anyone see anyone score more than 176 here?
I'm just curious.
Hi, I'm looking for someone who can help me write a personal statement. I want help brainstorming what to include, writing it in a way that is honest and makes me look like a good candidate for law school, and proofreading my personal statement.
I'm an international student and my reading/writing sucks. The only reason I'd pursue a law degree is because I have immense interest in Philosophy (particularly Epistemology).
That being said, if anyone whose English wasn't "ready" enough to tackle LSAT, what was your strategy to supplement your LSAT study? Please shed some light on this poor thing.
So far, I've subscribed the Atlantic magazine and am thinking of subscribing to Economist as well.
What are you thoughts? I've always been looking into those high school must read classics like the "Call of the Wild"? as well as practical books like "How to Succeed in Big Law Firms"
I just scored a 172 on PT153.
Hello all, I hope you are doing well. By way of introduction, my name is Sharitah. I'm looking for a study partner or partners in the Hamilton/Stoney Creek area in Ontario. If anyone is interested in joining me, please feel free to reach out; we can meet up at the local libraries. I work a 9-to-5. Weekday evenings work best, and am flexiable on weekends.
I aim to take the August LSATS and October as a backup. Thank you, and looking forward to hearing from you.
Hi there, I would like to call help for a quesiton finds me really confused. this is a RRE question:
"Recent investigations of earthquakes have turned up a previously unknown type of seismic shock, known as a displacement pulse, which is believed to be present in all earthquakes. Alarmingly, high-rise buildings are especially vulnerable to displacement pulses, according to computer models. Yet examination of high-rises within cities damaged by recent powerful earthquakes indicates little significant damage to these structures."
The correct answer is (B), which states that "Scientific predictions based on computer models often fail when tested in the field." My question is, isn't it attacking the truth of the phenomenon? If I change the answer choice to "It is very difficult to predict the impact of earthquake by computal model precisely.", would it still be the right answer choice?
One possible explanaiton I thought of is that B is denying the plausibility of the estimation instead of "the existence of the estimation". comparatively, D or other answer choices require more assumptions. Therefore B is the best answer. But this question is still perplexing. #help
