We've been working on a digital tester so you can prep on 7Sage for the digital LSAT this July and beyond.
Now you can access our digital tester (Beta version) so you can practice taking PrepTests digitally. Please note that the digital tester is still in beta mode so there might be issues with it.
When you're ready to take a PrepTest, click on "Blind Review, Score and Review" for the PrepTest you want to take:

Note that you'll only have access to the PrepTests included in your course. Free users have access to the June 2007 PrepTest only.
Alternatively, you can also go to Analytics. Then, select the PrepTest you'd like to take and you will see an option to take the PrepTest digitally, like this:

Please keep in mind that because this is a Beta version:
We would very much appreciate it if you could let us know of any issues you encounter so we can fix them!
74 comments
very impressive! would be even better if an extra section of one's choice could be added to mimic the experimental section.
Public Beta
We just moved the digital tester from opt-in beta to public beta! So you no longer need to opt-in through the accounts screen. Everyone can use the digital tester for any PTs they have access to on their account.

If unlimited time or single section is to happen later... is it possible to change the amount of time? I can just do a section from PT for single section drill, but want to do some unlimited time... if I had option to extend time to 2 hrs or so per section, it would be similar to having untimed option.
Full Release
@sshen2988341 We hope to do the full release before the end of May. Unfortunately it's hard to predict when it will ready for full release because it depends on how many problems are lurking in there :smiley:
See Actual Flags During Blind Review
@lji3362 @arman6592
Sorry! There was a bug with the code that prevented flags from saving properly. It should work again now for any new questions you flag. Questions flagged before the fix, unfortunately, won't show up. Thank you for flagging this for us :wink:
See Actual Answers During Blind Review
@lji3362 @arman6592
Sure thing! You should be able to see your actual answers now. The letter of your actual answer will have a thicker border and a very light grey instead of white. You will likely need to force refresh to receive the change (link at bottom of page).
Bottom of Tester is Hidden
@jazminperetz923.lsatter @arman6592
I suspect that your browser has cached an old version fo the tester because we put out a fix for this a couple of days ago. Please try force refresh to receive the change (link at bottom of page). If this doesn't help, please let me know!
Annotating Passage Indents/Linebreaks
@sparksm23827 @arman6592
I suspect that your browser has cached an old version fo the tester because we put out a fix for this a few days ago. Please try force refresh to receive the change (link at bottom of page). If this doesn't help, please let me know!
Passage is Too Wide
@arman6592
The fix for this won't come for a long while. Sorry! The problem is that a lot of questions in the PTs reference particular line numbers, so we can't change where the line breaks are without changing the questions.
We hope to come up with a solution for this in the future, but in the meantime, you should be able to see the full passage by reducing the text size. If fullscreen works for you now that should help too.
Tester Defaults to Underline
@arman6592
Sorry, there was a bug that was preventing the annotation settings from saving properly. Fix is live. You will likely need to force refresh to receive the change (link at bottom of page).
Scroll Position Doesn't Reset
@arman6592
Thanks for picking up on that! Tester is changed to reset the scroll position for responses whenever you change question, and for passage/game whenever you change to a different passage/game. You will likely need to force refresh to receive the change (link at bottom of page).
Keeping paper answers and digital answers at the same time
@joudidana280
We designed the analytics system to only have one take of each PT per student. That is also what we recommend for LSAT study, and we do not plan on changing it, sorry!
iOS Swiping and Crashes
@gomeza6
The app update with fixes for this is stuck behind some red tape, but if you're okay with using TestFlight (this is an app made by Apple to let people try pre-release versions of apps), you can install the fixed version of the app here: https://testflight.apple.com/join/PpzI6KHc
Time Remaining Display
@bizmuf495
I expect that you may have tapped on the "Time Remaining" box. That hides the time remaining, but not if there is less than five minutes remaining. You can reactivate the display by tapping on it again. LSAC's digital tester should behave similarly. Please let me know if this doesn't do the trick for you!
RC Passage Highlighting
@arman6592 @bizmuf495 @alexanstulc744 @forwangyan451
Thank you for letting us know about this! We put out a fix for this just now. You may need to "force refresh" (link at bottom of page).
Unfortunately, because we had to change the way annotations work, if you are part way through a PT, the annotations that were saved with that PT may not show up anymore or may look strange.
RC Passage Paragraph Indentation
@alexanstulc744 @forwangyan451
Thank you for pointing that out! We increased the indentation level.
@arman6592 said:
I just took PT 62 through the digital beta. first off I'd like to thank 7sage for rolling out digital versions of PT's! I'll be switching between digital and paper versions of PT's for the july test since we don't know which version will be administered.
Secondly, I'd like to emphasize on a glitch I found with reading comprehension. I apologize if this has been noted as I haven't read all comments but I'd like to point out that when I underline or highlight text within the passages using my stylus, the text becomes indented as if i'm pressing tab in a word document. Is this a glitch or is this purposeful? Also, I'm using a surface book 2 with a surface stylus with the latest google chrome.
Adding on to this, it's difficult to distinguish where new paragraphs start in RC passages. This is especially problematic for questions that address specific paragraphs (e.g., "which of the following summarize the author's argument in the third paragraph"). The indentation issue mentioned by arman makes it even worse.
Is there any way to fix, and does anyone have insight into how this will work on the actual digital tests?
Thank you so much for this! Greater familiarity with the system will reduce my anxiety by 1000000 on test day
@solariandree135 @zmy20093238648878 Thank you for flagging that issue for us! The fix is live and it should be working again now. If it's still not working, please try clearing your cache with force refresh a couple of times. Force refresh is cmd+shift+r on macs. We also added a tiny link to Force Refresh at the very bottom of the footer of every page.
Maybe Im not using it right, but i am having issues highlighting and underlining! Just an FYI
Awesome! I was just wondering about this yesterday! Thanks team!
I am loving the digital app on 7Sage. I particularly enjoy the timing analytics. Great job. I am looking forward to when I'll be able to drill sections and Q types. I find going digital has made it easier to study and see my mistakes. Thanks again!!
@nlkhamis275 Thank you for alerting us about this! Has this only been happening in the last couple of days, or has this been a problem for you for longer? We were able to reproduce this issue and are investigating.
In the meantime, while we're working on this, resizing the window (or rotating the device) when the display goes wonky could help. On our side it fixed the display for some reason.
We rolled out another set of changes (you may need to force refresh to see them). The biggest changes are:
Collapse Responses
@lji3362
The collapse response option now appears when there is not enough space for all the responses on the screen. Please note that unlike eliminations, collapsing is not saved. So if you close the tester and then continue the same test, collapsed responses will not be preserved.
Scrollbars
Scrollbars appear when there is not enough space for the content, like it does on the LSAC tester. Question stem no longer scrolls with question responses. Question responses are now scrolled independently of the stem.
I have to say that I love the built in timer! It helped so much with keeping me on track. And I love that you get only one question at a time. It can sometimes be overwhelming to see all of them staring at you together. Is there a way you can make it easier to review all questions? I like to go through all of them, and right now I am clicking on the explanation for each one. Is there a way you can just click next and have it automatically bring you to the explanation for the next question on the test rather than open up a new window for each answer?
@lji3362 Thanks for the awesome description!
Looks like this right?

We'll look into it!
iOS App Fullscreen
Before, using fullscreen with the iOS app would cut off the bottom of the tester, blocking access to the question navigation.
We put out a fix yesterday that should fix this issue. You may need to Force Refresh (link at bottom of page).

Thank you 7Sage for providing the digital test, very helpful! Experiencing the same issues with the highlighters and paragraphs.
Same exact thing happened to me with the same preptest @arman6592
Also are we supposed to see the countdown clock for the entire 35 minutes? The clock only showed up for the last 5 minutes for me.
@alan-91620 Once we submit the digital test is there a way we can see which questions we flagged? This would be a great help!
@alan-91620 Thanks for your reply. What I meant to ask was if we could keep the option of entering answers from a written test even after we've submitted a completed digital test.
I hope in the future we will be able to see the amount of time we spent on each question as we go over our PT at the end--would be super helpful and would take away the need of having to videotape yourselves when doing the PT. In the meantime, the digital tester is very helpful. Thank you as always!
I really appreciate the reply, @yafrcho580. It's a relief to hear this.
Yeah, I can't get the highlighter to work with the iPad, and the RC passages are too wide to fit in the view, so I have to scroll horizontally as well as vertically, which is a pain in the butt. Hoping I don't have to buy a whole new (nonApple) tablet...Actually the highlighter doesn't work on my laptop, either. Is it because it's just not Apple compatible? It's a Mac Book Air, and I'm using Chrome...
hey, JY, I have been trying to create problem sets for PT44 logical reasoning questions, however, in the problem set page, When I clicked the logical reasoning category, the search(or filter) long rectangular box is missing, and after I clicked that, I cannot change the PT ranges, got frustrated.
Does anyone know if all the tests are available in the online format? I can only see a few with the online format
