    Phoebe's Journey to 173: How a Screenwriter Cracked the LSAT

    Phoebe wasn't planning on law school. She was working in entertainment in LA when a friend half-jokingly suggested they study for the LSAT together. She took a diagnostic, scored a 163, and was hooked. Four months later, she sat for the real thing and walked away with a 173. In this episode, she breaks down how a screenwriter's brain took to the LSAT, the study habits that actually moved her score, why she resisted the wrong answer journal at first (and why that was a mistake), and how to find the "LSAT thought" even if it doesn't come naturally. Plus: how AI's collision with copyright law pulled her toward law school in the first place.

    Sean's Path from 153 to 173

    Alex sits down with Sean, one of 7Sage's tutors, to walk through his LSAT journey from a 153 diagnostic to a 173 official score. Sean talks about discovering the LSAT through a Christmas gift prep book, splitting his studying across two stints separated by a semester abroad in Spain, and what it was like to score below his practice tests on his first official exam. He and Alex dig into managing LSAT prep alongside a full college courseload, why a longer timeline took the pressure off, and how he broke through the high 160s plateau by drilling full LR and RC sections every day. Sean closes with his philosophy as a tutor and his single most concrete piece of advice: do five flaw questions a day.

    The Truth About Diagramming

A waste of time? Somewhere in between?Bailey shares what it was like to resist diagramming through most of her own LSAT journey and what she wishes she'd known sooner. Kevin breaks down why even students who "get" basic conditionals can get tripped up by the harder stuff on test day. And all three push back on the idea that 7Sage is all diagrams, all the time.Whether you're just starting out and feeling overwhelmed by sufficient and necessary conditions, or you're deep in your prep and wondering if your current approach is holding you back, this episode will help you figure out where diagramming fits in your studies.
