Currently when I’m taking timed practice tests, I’m getting so many questions wrong. But when I blind review it’s obvious what the correct answers are and my BR jump is about 10+. I feel like I understand the questions and know the right answers but when I’m under timed pressure I do terrible. Does anyone have any advice or tips to help with this?

Question - has anyone else found that they score better when they don't spend time making any notes during RC and save more time for answering questions?

I've noticed this and just was curious if others have as well and also just to share this in case anyone else like me was struggling with making time on RC.

Digital Tester Troubleshooting

✅ Resolved (as of 4am ET, Tuesday July 21): We rolled back the tester to its previous state and all issues below are now fixed. If you're still seeing problems, please comment. Original post preserved below for reference.

You might need to refresh your browser or log out and back in or clear your browser's history to see the changes take effect.

If you're still having trouble with this, please join me in the Tutor Office Hour study room and I'll help you troubleshoot live.

Hey everyone, I want to address a few issues you may have experienced with the digital tester today. I'm sorry these are cropping up, especially this close to the August test. We're aware of them and working through them as quickly as we can.

1. Text size looks too small

When we shipped a recent update, we accidentally set the default font size to 100% instead of 125%. LawHub's default is actually 125%, and we mistakenly assumed it was 100%. That's the cause, but it's still our error, and we're hot-fixing it now. I don't expect it to take more than a couple of hours.

If it's not yet fixed when you see this, you can restore the size yourself: click the triple-dot button, go to Appearance and Accessibility, and change the font size to Large.

2. Can't click/select answers

If you're running into this issue, try these in order:

  1. Change the font size (per the steps above). Several students have reported this alone fixes it.

  2. Log out of 7Sage and log back in.

  3. Clear your browser cache (go to History and clear it), then log back into 7Sage.

3. Accessibility button does the wrong thing

Right now that button toggles dark/light mode, which isn't what it's supposed to do. It should open a panel to change font size, zoom, spacing, colors, etc. We have an issue open for this, and I expect the fix within about 24 hours.

Thank you all for your patience and understanding while we get these sorted.

Studying Fatigue

Hi everyone! I was wondering if anyone has any advice for staying focused while drilling and studying. I find that I get mentally and physically tired (like my eyes literally want to shut lol) much faster when I’m studying for the LSAT than I do during other activities, and it makes it hard to stay engaged for long periods of time.

Has anyone found strategies that helped improve their focus or build their study stamina over time? Whether it’s changes to your study routine, break schedules, or anything else that worked for you, I’d really appreciate hearing what helped. Thank you!

More interface changes??

Feeling very discouraged, defeated, and frustrated as LSAC changed the look of the interface AGAIN... 2 weeks before test day! Why is the text so incredibly tiny now?

I honestly feel like August test takers should be able to reschedule to September for FREE, and we should be able to sue them (to bad they force us to sign that we won't sue for us to even be able to take the test).

I know I am not alone in this frustration but changing it again two weeks before the August test days is actually mental. I feel like everytme I finally get used to a change they just pile more on. On top of that I was finally starting to score closer to my goal, and I feel the interface changes really screwed up my timing and momentum.

I wish everyone else luck on the August LSAT.

On the struggle bus

Has anyone else had this issue? I feel like the more I study, the worse I do at the first attempt, but I do really well on the BR. How do I fix this? I'm supposed to take the August LSAT and am panicking a little bit.

Is anyone else confused, the email I recieved a week ago says it opens at 11:00am today then a link I click in LSAC says 11:00pm. Then my LSAT page does not say a time?

Tips for timed drilling

Hello everyone! I have been studying for the LSAT for a while now and I notice i do way better on blind review than when I am drilling timed. Does anybody have any tips on how to fix this. I am so frustrated and feel like everything I have tried has not helped me improved.

Hi all,

Im registering for the date I take the august LSAT tonight. I might be a little paranoid but just checking how "chaotic" could it be when registering? I imagine it might be slow since lots of people are registering, but is the overall process chill like if I want to take on August 5th, I will be able to take to it august 5th? Or is it like registering for college classes where if you don't get the classes you want in the first 30 seconds you are in for a tough semester.

Never registered for one so I just want to know if I should be expecting any surprises Lol! I know its unlike LSAC to make things unnecessarily complicated and hard ...

I am taking my previous thread on this showing statistical performance in the top echelons, over the period in time where the LSAT became REMOTE optional. Highlighting major data inconsistencies, in the best case.

Now, as everyone saw, if you get clearance to take the test REMOTE, you will need a SECOND camera (your smart phone) pointed at your computer.

This is for everyone, but specifically for laptop users... Which means LSAC was also looking at the FISHY data and found out HOW (particularly laptop users) people were cheating on it. The SECOND CAMERA idea is not by accident, otherwise they would continue using the normal remote set up.

I am sure everyone here has access to google, and the depths of the internet, to figure out how to go about it with a laptop. Prometric isn't just used for LSAT, but also many college tests. Unfortunately, the damage is already done with a major increase in test takers over the last year alone, all with inflated LSAT scores.

***PRIOR POST***

Has anyone else looked at the recent data released on LSAT scores? There is something HIGHLY fishy going on with the increase in the top line... which happens to take place just after you are allowed to take the test remotely! cough cheating cough (didn't say it!)

Here are the facts:

The number of LSAT Applicant tests have increased by 30%

The LSAT Median (155-159) has increased similarly at 26% .. so far so good, normal distribution with added applicants.

The alarm shows up at the top end... an !!!!!! 85% !!!!! increase in (175-180) scorers. Nearly DOUBLING the top line.

My Thesis:

Any addition, or subtraction, from applicants STATISTICALLY SHOULD result in the same distribution range. We know LSAT has been very fair with creating a system for their two LRs and one RCs to keep an even playing field for all applicants. Even with the dropping of logic games, an ALMOST DOUBLING on the top line would be unheard of.

Anyone who has taken remote/online testing during college, knows about friend or two, that knows how to go around the Prometric system. Not that any of us here would do that of course. Could this also be LSAC blanket approving anyone with a doctors note for 1.5x time? Possibly. Could it be Prometric work arounds? possibly. Did we just get smarter applicants? Possibly.

But I will say one thing ... when there is smoke .. there is ...

LSAC Test Time Zone

Does anyone else have the test time in the LSAC portal showing the correct time you scheduled but the wrong time zone?

My prometric confirmation says 1pm (assuming local time, CT) but the LSAC portal shows 1pm ET.

Wondering if anyone else has experienced this, don’t want to be late to my test. Planning to call prometric to verify shortly.

What is up guys. I have been studying LSAT for 2 years on and off since I graduated. Never felt like I had a solid routine and basically flatlined in high 150's. I took 2 months off of studying basically, left my job as a legal assistant after 1.5 years since graduating UGA solely to study and focus on LSAT. I plan on taking the test in Oct & Nov. Any recommendations on what I need to do to get back into it and the best schedule/routine to see a jump to my goal score of 165 by October??? Any and all comments are appreciated!

I saw that some people could not select answers earlier but it seems to be fixed for me by logging in and logging out, and then also adjusting the line spacing and font sizes. But, my bigger issue is such dramatic changes before the test like the interface looks so dramatically different and on PT's we cannot cycle through sections anymore, you have to click the 3 dots on the side and then cycle to the section you want. I just feel a bit upset because the old 7sage was aesthetic (lol) and it takes a bit of time to adjust to how things are which is not ideal before a test. What are your guys thoughts? I know there has been a lot of controversy especially with no longer highlighting words for some RC questions.

New August Interface

I have been studying for the August LSAT, and decided to prep these last couple of weeks with my textbooks. Decided today to take a practice exam and the new highlighting interface sucks!!!!! When will LSAC stop changing things ugh

#LSACmorelikeLSUCK lol

7Sage's Intrface does not match LawHub's anymore and I don't know which to expect on the real exam in August 2026 right now. LawHub's demo still has the ability to change the colors, font sizes and more by clicking the little person on the right but 7Sage does not anymore. Which one will be how the actual LSAT in August looks?Anyone else feel like all these interface changes are making it harder to study?

Extra Easy Section???

I've had a great last week or so drilling my weaknesses in logical reasoning, but this timed section today seems too good to be true. For context before this week of studying I averaged -5/-4 on LR and my best was a -3. Then I took the last week off of PTs and timed sections and only drilled LR weaknesses and this was my first timed section back. Now im potentially overthinking and questioning if this section was just extra easy... does anyone know if PT124 S2 is just an easier section and if so how much?

I am planning on taking the August test. How many PTs should I plan to take before then? I have been taking them on Thursdays once a week but I only have two Thursdays before the test which is super scary

Are you sure?
