The absence of a full screen in LawHub is really messing w/ me for RC. Did August test-takers have a full screen by default, or were they forced to take the test without one? I'm extremely annoyed with this change from LSAC.

I tried pressing Ctrl+Cmd+F to enlarge the screen for my Mac, but it didn't work.

I just submitted my argumentative writing. After moving my webcam around to scan my testing environment, I could not see how I appeared in the frame. After the timer ran out, my webcam footage became visible and the tip of my chin was out of frame. I understand that part of the rule is to keep your shoulders in-frame during the exam, but I could not see that it was an issue at the time! Does anyone know if this will affect anything, and should I worry?

Sorry if this is a bit negative, but I am genuinely concerned about my applications chances and scholarship prospects at this rate.

Almost everyone agree that the new interface makes the exam more difficult. The highlighting system is totally different and hurts my hands, hiding answers is slow, text is harder to read, and they don't even highlight question prompt's referenced quotes in the RC sections anymore. All of these are time drains. Historically Law Schools have never cared about these things and only looked at the raw scores, but historically the LSAT has never been so stupid.

So my question for those who might have insider info is: Are we struggling August test takers just doomed? They won't consider our circumstances or anything? Surely they know that the exam went through massive changes right? @J.Y.Ping

In taking timed sections and PT's across the past 2 (potentially 3 or more) weeks, I have noticed several instances of my countdown timer glitching. The clock will count down three or four seconds, then jump back up to the earlier time.

Ex) 11:53, 11:52, 11:51, 11:50, 11:49---11:53, 2, 1, 0, 9---

and so on.

The only reliable way to make the clock begin working normally has been to exit out of the section and re-enter, at which point I typically wait for 15-20 seconds to try to be realistic with how much time I've actually used.

I do not know if this issue is sometimes occurring and then stopping on its own, and with my clunky adjustments, the entire situation has made me far less confident in the recent speed "gains" I've been seeing.

What is important is that this has happened multiple times across a few UI updates. Could those be related?

Any updates are much appreciated!

Hi everyone! I am taking the LSAT in April 2027. I took a diagnostic in the spring which landed me at 161, which initially I was very happy about. However, I have been studying since then and have been consistently stuck in the 160s- sometimes high, sometimes low. My biggest area of improvement is RC, but no matter how hard I blind review, I feel stuck! Does it just take time? I am so afraid of wasting my time studying ineffectively.

Update: the changes below are live!

******************************************

We're shipping an update to the Digital Tester this week. The goal is to make practice look and feel more like test day. Here's what's changing.

• Narrower width, full height

  • The tester will be slightly narrower and run at close to full screen height. This will match the reported proportions of the real thing more closely. You'll still see your browser window and menu bar at the top, but otherwise the dimensions are close to what you'll see on test day.

• The full screen button in the toolbar will be gone

  • LawHub removed its full screen button, so we will remove ours. Since the tester will now size close to full screen by default, you shouldn't need it. If you want true full screen, use the three dot menu on the top right.

• Updated toolbar icons

  • Toolbar symbols will match LawHub's. The most noticeable change is answer elimination (also called response masking), which will use an "a" with a slash through it.

• Blind Review and Review testers restyled

  • Blind Review was stuck on the old tester style. It will match the current tester, as will the review interface. You'll see consistent styling across the tester, the Blind Review tester, and the Review tester.

• One deliberate deviation: font size persists, unlike LawHub

  • On LawHub, your font size selection does not carry over from section to section. You have to reset it at the start of every single section of a PT. We're not copying that. On 7Sage, your font size choice will stick.

  • We don't think LawHub's behavior here is intentional. Color and line height settings both persist. Font size is the odd one out, which looks like a bug. We've flagged it to LSAC and asked them to fix it. We'll let you know if they do. Or if this is actually intentional on their part.

After studying since last October, I have finally broke into the 170s. Going to take the September LSAT and feeling super pumped!!

Hi! I was wondering if anyone had any out of the box tips for improving flaw questions. I drill these a LOT, and are familiar with how to answer/common flaw types, but seem to still miss a lot when putting them into context. If anyone has any specific advice thats helped them, let me know!

Hello! I just got approved for the August retest exam, but I am having some conflicting feelings about it.

Has anyone taken a retest in-person before? Did it go smoothly and just the same as the real test day? Did the exam feel comparatively similar to the original test?

It was my first time testing in person, and I was definitely really nervous but felt relatively confident for most of the exam. For context, I am also scheduled for September and am aiming for a 174. I don't think that I got 170+ on August, but I am a bit anxious about having a worse experience on the retest day that will either shoot my confidence for September or make me regret my decision. I'm also a bit nervous because the closest location that the retest will be administered is at a different Prometric location that is slightly further away (and has awful Google reviews...).

I would really appreciate any insight on those who have had in-person retesting done! I know the test probably won't necessarily be harder or unfair, and that this could be a really great chance for me to take the exam under better circumstances! But any and all thoughts about retesting are welcome.

So I currently am doing really good on the mini drill sets that I take when I am studying and just practicing problems, typically getting a 100% or 1 wrong. However when I go to take a PT I feel like all that progress just goes away because I will get like 5 wrong in a row, and for some reason just can not seem to sit there and focus when I see I have 20+ questions left versus maybe 10. Does anyone have advice on where I can improve for the September test, which is so soon and I am so worried?

Are perscriptive answers always wrong on Necessary Assumption questions? I am trying to figure out if that is something I can just retain and eliminate that answer choice every time

Any tips on how to effectively review RC wrong answers?

I am looking to raise my LSAT score about 15 points. I am currently in the 147ish range and looking to score in the 160s on the October test. I feel like I am doing the repetition and putting in the hours, but I am having trouble truly learning from mistakes. I feel like I am getting stuck at a point where I know what I know well, but its hard getting the stuff I don't know well to a higher level. With the October test date quickly approaching any advice to level up studying or unlock parts of my brain are appreciated. I know I'm not competitive for my dream school without a 160.

- A girl with a Sad LSAT Score

I’ve been studying since late May and I’m planing on taking the September LSat. I study for most of the day, 4-6 hours 5-6 days a week, and meet with a tutor twice a week. I take a pt every 2 weeks. My first 3 pts were really encouraging because I’ve gone up about 10ish points overall, about 5 points between each pt. But my last 3 pts I’ve hit a platuea all in the high 150s. No matter what method I try, ones my tutor gave, ai, once’s a read online, from friends nothing will increase my score under timed conditions. Everyone said br indicates your real capabilities, and I BR in the low to mid 170s every time. This month long plateau is super discouraging. With all the study and tutor help I get, I didn’t see how else I can increase my score. Does anyone have any tips to close the gap bc I’d hate to apply to law school with a high 150 if I’m capable of getting in the 170s. Am I capable of closing this gap in one month, or should I postpone the test? Or is postponing just postponing the inevitable and I should just accept my score as it is? Please looking for any suggestions!

Hi everyone, I have been studying for the LSAT for a little over a year now yes crazy but the most solid has been this summer. My last LSAT exam was back in January and I scored a 141. I have been studying and recently took a PT got a 143 but with blind review I got a 151. My goal is to get a 160. I have a good grasp on the basic concepts how to spot different types of flaws; my accuracy on level 1-2 question types is pretty good but once I get to 4-5 sometimes 3 it gets rough. I have been studying for so long don't want to rush the exam but also ready to be done! All in all I don't know if I should change to October rather than September. I know my score sucks but we will get there.

I took the August exam, and deep down, I feel like I might not have done as well as I wanted to. How much time off should I take before I start studying again? and what should I try when I'm studying for this time that might've worked for you guys?

I have been struggling with RC (around -11 on average) which is significantly worse than my LR (around -3/5). I've tried doing everything including front-loading, changed pacing, focused on answer evaluation, untimed practice, 10-minute passages, 9-minute passages, focused on big picture questions while reading, etc. Is there I should do to improve answer deliberation on passages? Most of my wrong answers are on implied/inference questions or strengthen/weaken based on the passage. I have also done focused practice targeting these question types. My RC blind reviews are around -5/6. I'm hoping to get my timed to be around my untimed/BR score. Appreciate all the advice!

I FINALLY broke into the 160s after about 3 months of consistent studying. For context I started at a 152 on my diagnostic, so this feels huge. My official test date is still months away, which means a 174 might actually be within reach now (wild to even type that).

Also gotta brag for a second, none of my sections had double-digit wrong answers this time. (when I took my first PT I missed 12 QUESTIONS in just one LR section lol). Progress is progress!

Hii! I’m in Houston, TX (inner city area) I’m brand new to studying for my LSAT and attempting to taking it in OCT 2026! If anyone is interested in studying together, I’d like to meet and go through this together.

Has anyone done 144 recently and want to review it together? I plan to review my wrong questions tomorrow, 8/11 and want to go over it with someone so we both can learn

So I've been using 7SAGE for a few months, and I'd say I am nearly done with the lesson plan. Ill probably be a few days behind schedule regardless, but I'm estimated to finish it in the next 10-15 days if I can consistently do 4 hours a day.

Issue is that I feel like its really slow, and I am taking the LSAT in October/November. I've yet to really focus on drills, but I do try an untimed PT every week or so.

When should I start focusing on drills and timing? Rn I'm half way through LR on the lessons, so I could theoretically lock in heavy and grind out lessons, or I could begin to shift focus onto timing.

Just wanted to see what others have to say about their own time management for studying. How long have some of you been working purely on drills and PT timing? When might be a good time to rotate into that?
