RC line citations are no longer highlighted for you.

They used to be highlighted in the old interface, making what you're asked about easier to spot. Now you have to find the referenced text yourself.

OLD, EASIER:

NEW, "IMPROVED":

You'll want to use a combination of the search box and plain ol' counting sentences and paragraphs to find what you're asked about now. You'll get used to it.

A few other updates to match LawHub's behavior:

  • Masking mode resets when you switch questions.

  • Clicking a selected answer doesn't de-select it, and you can't eliminate a selected answer in masking mode. To de-select, pick a different answer or click reset response.

  • You can't select an eliminated answer — you have to unmask it first.

Started off with a 141 and this is my highest score yet. Pretty dang proud of myself, but I am still struggling to trust the AC I choose and end up choosing the wrong AC. Any advice? (Ignore the BR)

It's really satisfying when you start to intuitively recognize the overall patterns of the questions and answers and feel increasingly confident in your choices. I've also learned that no matter how much I might want to stubbornly stick with a difficult question until I get the answer, just leaving it alone and going back to it later with a fresh perspective really has helped.

for my peeps who work full time besides studying and who work in something they are passionate about, any tips on how to turn off your thoughts, worries and concerns from the work day? I still think about my clients and what to do the next day and I find my studying quality to suffer. ill take any tips to improve focus and staying on track, thank you!

also tips on how to make the lsat something one is excited or enjoys doing would be really appreciated! ive heard from high scorers they begin to love the lsat, and I am a firm believer of mentality and focus while testing being huge in accuracy.

Last weekend I scored my best so far on a full practice test! I am registered for the LSAT in August, and feel like I am hitting my "peak" around the right time. Any advice? I am planning on taking a full test for the next 3 weekends until test day.

Hi everyone,

I have finished the 7Sage curriculum and am starting to practice over the next few months before taking the LSAT in October.

I was wondering if anyone could recommend a wrong-answer journal that has significantly helped them track their mistakes and improve their score. I know 7Sage has a Notes section, but I'm looking for something more detailed and independent.

I'd really appreciate any recommendations or insights. Thank you!!

Hello! I am just looking for some advice, reassurance, or a reality check about my chances of getting into law school. In early June I took a diagnostic with 0 lsat prep and scored a 152. I have been studying for roughly one month now and had a plan to test in September and October, to get applications in prior to thanksgiving. My study plan has been going well and I am up to date. My goal score is 165+ and my cumulative undergrad GPA is a measly 2.51! Since college I have been working as a contract analyst in a national finance firm for 2 years. Working in a law related setting and working directly with lawyers and legal analysts had really driven my interest in studying law. My undergrad degree is from Drake and I would love to continue my education there.

With my stats, how realistic is this goal?

Does it help in law admissions when applying to a law school from which you graduated in their undergrad program?

Is the "Thanksgiving cutoff" a real thing or should I focus on getting the highest score possible, even if that is a later test date?

Thank you for any input you may provide!

Is it really worth it? I feel like it's so long and very time consuming but I have heard doing the curriculum can really help raise your score. I need advice on how to properly use 7sage, I had a tutor and I liked the way all my days were planned out? Anyway have a schedule they can share.

If you activate the Keyboard Highlight mode (by clicking that highlighter on the right tool column) and happen to have Grammarly on, you can apparently change the stimulus lol.

Looking for a tutor to try and improve my score from 149 from my first attempt to something better. This would be my second time taking the lsat. The first time I didn’t use 7Sage a

I would like to get insight into a dilemma I'm currently having. To preface, I'm horrible at standardized tests. In November of 2025 I took the LSAT after self-studying and got a 149. Then hired Kaplan, and took the LSAT again in April 2026, and scored a 156. More context: I get massive test anxiety and constantly rethink my answers on the test, even with the tips from Kaplan.

I was originally planning on applying for Fall 2027 law school, but I'm not too sure if my score can get me into the right school I'd like. Right now, I'm looking to go into big law of some sort, and I know many of the bigger firms recruit from bigger law schools. I also don't know how much scholarship I would get if I applied to a school above the median of my score (so, schools with a 157-159 median), and what my chances are at schools above my median. My undergrad GPA was a 3.82, which is in line with schools' medians LSAT around 164. My master's degree I got a 3.70, but I have heard schools only look at undergrad GPA. I am currently working in a big law firm right now, and can be here for 1-2 years, but I'd like to go to law school sooner than later and get this degree.

I haven't looked at LSAT stuff since my test in April, so if I were to retake it, I would probably take it in October? I also just don't know how much my score can go up from the 156. Will schools see the original jump from 149-156 and see that as a good thing alongside my GPA? Does that boost my chances at a law school with a slightly higher median? Or should I just hire an admissions consultant to really make other parts of my application shine (i.e. the essays)? Moral of the story, I don't really want to take this test again, but if I have to, I will. I just want to make sure the score actually goes up rather than down.

Willing to hear all opinions!!

Hi y'all! I have been studying for a couple of months, and have found it difficult to make measurable improvements in my scores (for reference, my diagnostic was a 168 and my scores are around that average). I keep seeing advice centered on doing deep review, dissecting your mistakes and understanding WHY you got the answer wrong. However, my process doesn't seem to be making me any better at applying what I learn in review on the next test.

Does anyone have any tips how to ACTUALLY do the review process properly?

I typed this as a reply to someone who asked about the value of BR, and figured I'd put it out here too. Let me know if it helps, or if there are things I could do to improve! For some extra context, I'm 27, studying while working full time. 170 average, trending to 174, test in Sep.

Detail on my exact review process below, but here's the core idea: your goal is to answer every question correctly and under time during the actual test, since you're fighting the clock as much as the questions themselves. A recommended BR question almost always means you missed that goal somewhere, whether you got it wrong, weren't confident, or were just too slow, so being quick and accurate enough to leave yourself time to return to flagged questions and BR them live on test day is what actually converts extra time into points. Review exists to figure out why you missed the mark on a given question so you don't miss it for the same reason again, and while you won't hit this goal on every question, a 170 is achievable if you keep pursuing it.

1. Blind Review

Reanswer each question first. Why each category matters:

  • Incorrect: self-explanatory.

  • Flagged: You weren't confident/didn't answer on your first pass. Flagging and revisiting a few questions is fine, but each flag costs you time at the end that you may not have.

  • Changed answer: you landed on the right answer, but your first instinct was wrong. That's a gap to close, and it burns time.

  • Spent too long: right answer, but too slow. Needs to get faster.

  • Answered too quickly: rare, low value to review, but quick enough that it's not worth skipping.

2. After BR

I log question numbers by category (writing it down as clicking in and out of the section for this info is annoying):

  • Wrong answer either timed or BR: marked with an x (1x means missed Q1). I read/watch the explanation, then write in the 7Sage notes thing why I got it wrong, what I missed, what confused me etc. I rarely revisit these notes, but writing them helps focus the lesson/gap.

  • Spent over +30 seconds: marked with a T. I review as needed to figure out why it took too long, and leave a short note on how to improve timing

  • Flagged: quick pass only, I dig deeper on maybe 25% of these.

3. After the study session

I write down 1-2 recurring mistakes and reread the list before every session. This surfaces patterns you keep repeating, usually simple fixes that just need reinforcing.

Example: "With two close answers, proactively break each into pieces and test against the prompt/passage." I noticed I was picking the wrong one of two finalists because I skipped this step. Once I focused on it, that specific weakness improved.

I have recently started keeping a wrong answer journal for LR and I have found it to be super helpful, but I am struggling on how to do it effectively for RC as well. Since most of my mistakes are running out of time or just reading wrong, I don't know if it is as helpful as it has been for LR. Wondering if anyone has experience using a wrong answer journal to increase their RC accuracy?

I've been subscribed to 7Sage for at least six months. I'm starting to run out of actually new reading comprehension passages, and I was wondering if anybody else has been running into this issue? When I select fresh on a drill, it says I don't have enough passages to fulfil this requirement. I'm confused about how this can be because I find it hard to believe that I have done all of the available Reading Comprehension passages, especially since I know that I still have more practice tests on LawHub that I have not yet taken, and I'm also not running out of LR despite training sections of that just as frequently.

I don't know if it's just me, but ever since the new Reading Comprehension highlight update, every time I highlight something, the page automatically scrolls up. For example, when I scroll down to highlight a sentence and then try to keep reading, it jumps back up on its own. It's really annoying because it won't stay where I scrolled. Is anyone else having this issue, or is there a way to fix it?

Hi,

So for context, I'm in my 30s, I graduated in 2014 with a not so stellar GPA because of a lot of family and mental health issues. Later on in life I did get my paralegal certificate and I've been a paralegal ever since so I have a ton of legal and work experience. I tried applying to law school before but it seems like some of the top schools really wanted some academic references which I obviously don't have like 10 years after graduating. So I kind of rehauled my education. I got a second bachelors and I am getting a masters degree right now.

My second bachelors GPA is amazing, close to 4.0. Will law schools care about this? Will it get reported in CAS/LSAC?

Will they care about my masters if I do well?

I am hoping to get strong professor LORs AND one from my law firm.

I am aiming to prove that I AM GOOD at academics now, and when I was 18-22 I had a lot going on and it's representative of who I am NOW. What's the best way to flash these neon lights to law schools to make them notice without just filtering me out based on the number in CAS/LSAC?

Also, obviously aiming for whatever highest score the LSAT Goddess is going to bestow upon me!
