129 to UPenn Law with 7Sage

When Vivienne scored a 129 on her diagnostic, it would have been easy for her to give up on her T14 dreams. One massive thing made a difference: she'd heard stories of others who made similarly massive improvements.

We had the fortune of chatting with Vivienne about her colossal journey: how she bagged an over 30-point jump on the LSAT and how she charmed UPenn as an under-median candidate. Check out our discussion here.

And if a top law school is your goal, it's never too early to consider what 7Sage Admissions can do for you.

Good luck!

May your contrapositives always flip cleanly.

May your conclusions sometimes precede your premises.

May your gap always be visible, and your assumptions never assumed.

May your answer selection eliminations be swift, and your split decisions nonexistent.

May you always spot the strength word before it spots you.

May the fatal word reveal itself before you've read the last choice.

May your reading be more comprehension than reading.

May your experimental section be a breeze.

May your stamina hold out, and your timer end later than you expect.

I'm happy to break my 7sage streak today after today's exam - good luck on yours!

I've participated in and followed several discussions about making the study plan more dynamic by adjusting for missed days, added study hours, getting ahead of schedule, and other changes along the way.

While thinking about those discussions after taking the June LSAT, I realized there may be another piece we're missing: what happens after test day?

I took my first official LSAT in November 2025. After that, I signed up for 7Sage at the beginning of 2026 and was happy to start from scratch and learn the test from the 7Sage perspective. I loosely followed the study plan, worked through lessons, drills, and PTs, and just took the June 2026 LSAT.

Now I expect I'll likely retake in August or sometime this fall unless I end up with a score far beyond my expectations. Even then, I'd probably still want to see how close to 180 I can get.

So what's the recommended path?

Is there already a feature or recommended workflow that I'm missing? If so, where can I find it?

If the answer is simply changing the test date and continuing the existing plan, I'd like to request something more dynamic that factors in my progress, completed work, remaining curriculum, PT history, and the fact that I'm waiting on a score from a recent official administration.

I was hoping the study plan would acknowledge that the scheduled test date came and went and ask what I'd like to do next.

Am I done with the LSAT? Am I waiting on a score? Am I planning to retake? If so, when?

Based on those answers, the plan could provide recommendations and reconfigure accordingly. Maybe that means finishing unfinished lessons, focusing on weak areas, increasing PT volume, or shifting into a score-maximization mode.

The current plan does a great job getting students to their first scheduled test date. I'd love to see it become dynamic enough to recognize that for many of us, test day is not the end of the journey.

Hello!! My real exam is tomorrow and I wanted to hear your advice on what I should do tonight or tomorrow morning. I already studied a little bit with 7Sage Study plan, but what else should I do? Should I do some questions tomorrow too? Or watch something and rest?

I am very excited and stressed about it, so thank you in advance!!!!

Is there any feature that shows you how much time you spent on studying so far, and like per/by day, so far I can only see the streak, but I would like a feature where I can see how I am doing and how much time I have spent, just as motivation. Visuals would be nice too, like this but tailored to LSAT/7Sage ofc.

June 5 LSAT

Hi all!

I'm taking the LSAT tomorrow in person and am confirming that we do NOT need to bring our personal computers, correct?

Also, another question for those of you that have taken the test in person already. When the 10 minute intermission is over, does the time automatically resume as it typically does on 7sage, or does the in person proctor need to confirm and re-check-in before the time starts again?

Thanks in advance for the help!!

Hi!! I'm studying for the August LSAT and currently scoring in the low-mid 140s after taking two LSATs but was hoping to get up to a 163! I wanted to see if there was anyone around the Dallas area that would want to help keep each other accountable and stay motivated, as well as reviewing mistakes together!

If you're interested, don't hesitate to join!! Everyone is welcome!!

When I'm reading, especially during the Reading Comprehension section, I naturally move my lips or silently mouth the words to myself. I'm not speaking out loud or making any audible sounds—it's just part of how I read internally. Is this allowed permitted during the remotely proctored LSAT, or could it be flagged by the proctor?

Hi,

Maybe it's just me but at first I started drilling/taking PTs with the new testing interface (post August) and it was working fine but recently I've been unable to select any answer choices. Original interface works. I'm using Safari on a Macbook. Just wanted to flag in case this is helpful to others.

😖 Frustrated

How to overcome low confidence?

Hi everyone,

I am looking for some advice to overcome the self-doubt I feel about the test that is impacting my ability to study and feel prepared.

I took the October 2025 LSAT and scored a 160. I was and still am very frustrated with my score, not because it is a bad score but because I was consistently scoring ≥162, and I was often in the 163-165 range. I took the test remotely and it distracted me. I am not trying to be any sort of LSAT wizard and pull off a 175 or higher. I just want a solid score that puts me in scholarship range of my target schools, which I think a 165 will do for me combined with my 3.95 GPA in a STEM major.

I started studying again for the test in March/April, planning to take the June test (tomorrow). Last week I was so panicked by my lack of improvement and growth during PTs that I rescheduled the test for August, hoping that I can improve my RC score more than anything. I almost never take full tests because I struggle more on RC vs. LR and I don't feel the need to practice LR much more, but part of the reason for that is because I have a mental barrier up telling me that my chances at improving on RC are slim. Because of this, it tanks my score, and I just wasn't ready for June. I'm happy with my decision, but I don't know where to go from here.

I am wondering if there is anyone else experiencing this, or anyone who could speak to how to get better on this front. I am in the process of starting tutoring to help me through this as well.

Hi all, I've been studying for the past few months and have been seeing no progress. I am placing as much emphasis as I can on blind review now and then watching lessons on the issues that I see that I am struggling with. I'm worried I am not doing enough drills to learn enough. For context, I work full time and can maybe devote 2.5 hours a day, six times a week. What is a realistic amount of drills that I should be completing, or would that depend more on my understanding of the material?

I recently realized that all undergrad grades are computed in LSAC GPA, which makes total sense, but means that my reported gpa is lower as I transferred schools after my freshman year. I was doing a sport at a D1 level which meant my grades suffered a bit (not a ton but enough to lower my gpa below most top 20 medians). I am aiming to score as high as possible on the LSAT as I know that will only help me in this case but I'm wondering if my only chances for top 20/30 school admissions are slim even with a high lsat if my gpa is below median or even 25th percent. How much do top schools value gpa addendums, am I being unrealistic expecting consideration from top schools? My gpa trended upward - ending at 3.8-4.0 for my last few semesters that focused on my specific major courses. I am 2+ years out of college and have since held jobs in the legal field and have strong professional recs but I'm aware that that won't help school stats or medians so just trying to figure out how to approach applications. Also will LSAC only evaluate the credits that transferred from my first institution that were awarded to my degree? Or is it every course I have taken regardless of whether it was accepted as a credit by my second institution?

Any other long-term paralegals here? I'm super curious to know how many other people are in the same boat as me.

I'm a senior paralegal, and I've been working in estate planning and probate for about 13 years now. I finally got tired of (1) getting paid like a paralegal to do the work of a junior associate, and (2) billing at a rate of $100 less than the baby associates I'm teaching about this field of law, whose drafts I review, and whose cases I supervise (among other things) for no reason other than optics.

Besides, I want to be able to sign my own dang pleadings and say "I advise that you do XYZ" to clients instead of "[attorney's name] advises that you do XYZ" (even if I'm the one who suggested it to the attorney in the first place).

I spent my entire career saying I'd never go to law school, and yet here we are lol

If you're a paralegal of 10+ years applying to law school, what are your reasons for doing so?

I am having a hrd time figuring out when I should start taking PT regulary.... I am currently working my way through Foundations. Should I start taking them once I get into LR and RC, or wait until I am in the practice section? Also, what PT should I start with? I'm sitting for the lsat in January 2027.

Hi!

I hope things are going well for everyone!

I have been struggling a lot with test anxiety during full PTs and was wondering if anyone has tips for overcoming test anxiety. When I start a full PT, my heart would beat really fast, and I felt like the time was chasing me. This made me to perform poorly during the timed sections, and during BR, I was able to perform almost 10+ points.

I have had some people recommend me to receive accommodation but since I have never requested for it even for SAT or any tests during undergrad and grad school, I'm not sure if I would even be eligible for it.

I would truly recommend some tips to over come test anxiety!

Thank you all in advance!

Hi,

I think I need confirmation that I am on the right path to meet my goals. So, I apologize if this is a bit long.

I am following a comprehensive study plan where I completed the foundation section and I am currently working through the LR section. The RC section is scheduled to begin mid June, and test practice will begin at the end of June. I plan to take my first LSAT in September and based on my study plan I should have about 10 weeks of practice time.

When I first started studying in February, I was doing it on my own and planned to take the June LSAT and realized that it wasn't working well for me and signed up for 7Sage in April. My current study plan is set up for 3 hours a day, 5 days a week, and those 3 hours are turning into 5-6 hours a day to complete, which can be a lot some days. I am primarily working through the lessons and the drills included in the lessons, and I am not adding additional drills.

I took a cold diagnostic before I started studying in February and scored 140. I know I am improving and but have not taken another diagnostic and don't plan to until I finish the lessons in mid-June. I hope to reach the 160s when I take the test in September.

Not knowing what anyone else's schedule or study plan looks like adds to my uncertainty, and I just need to know I am on the right path.

Thank you for sticking with me through this long rant!

Hi all,

I work full time and some days it just isn't realistic for me to study, how do you deal w the feeling of guilt when skipping a day. I know that the two days a week I don't study don't set me back much especially because I am past the point of learning fundamentals, but I can't help but feel guilty.

Hey guys,

I recently started doing timed sections and I do horribly on them lol. I'm getting roughly 12-16 correct during timed sections, but during untimed sections I'm doing much better around 22-24 correct.

I was wondering if anyone had any tips during this transition phase. I'm really trying to close that gap so that my timed sections can actually reflect my capabilities.

Thanks!

This is more of a "can I jump from low 150s to like a 160+" question and whether it's possible to achieve by the August exam. I am ready to give it my all. Would appreciate it if anyone can speak from their experiences and let me know how plausible this dream of mine is!

(I took it in April officially, studied consistently for 3 and a half months. Had to take an involuntary break between April and basically now, urgently need to get back on the grind for August)

Hi all! I hope everyone is having a fabulous time studying. I know I am.

I've been studying for the June test and plan to take it this weekend. I have improved dramatically in LR and am projecting my goal score when taking LR sections but still find myself stuck with lower RC performance pretty consistently around ~-9/-11. LR is typically -2/-5. Does anyone have any tips for scoring more consistently on RC? I feel like I am understanding the passages but sometimes feel that none of the answers really fit so I am stuck choosing the least problematic one and end up being wrong. I've been outlining the passages and translating them as I go which has been helping but not totally effective. It's also not a timing issue so any advice from high RC scorers would be greatly appreciated.

Good luck to all who are testing this week!
