In 2011, J.Y. Ping was a third-year at Harvard Law with two hobbies: making yogurt in his basement to lower his grocery bills and tutoring for the LSAT so he could one day afford Chobani.
Many of his students only found their way to him after paying top dollar for advice they had struggled to retain. J.Y. realized he could reach more people and make a better learning tool by recording his lessons. A year later, he founded 7Sage, the first fully digital LSAT company.

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.
Hey sorry about that. We're making adjustments to Sage AI. Can you try again and let me know if you're still experiencing the issue?
Yes, we are building out this feature. We're aiming for both better answers and fewer token usage.
If you have ideas for merch that you'd like to see, let us know in the comments!
@KiranPoudel I couldn't see it either. It's subtle. Look closely at the "C" (last week's has a larger gap) and "L" (last week's has a little tail at the bottom)
@monmon https://7sage.com/classes/evt_033hPqqmntPOtSgNnxO4G0 It's a Live Session.
@RyanSD Haven't seen that before. Want to jump into a Study Room and I can help you troubleshoot? https://7sage.com/discussion/study_room/sr3
Reported issues:
Font size too big on Review tester
Layout skewed to the right and missing buttons on actual tester
✅ Fully resolved (as of 12:40pm ET, Tuesday July 21): We pushed through a hotfix and we're getting reports that all issues are resolved.

If your digital tester is still acting up, please join me in the Tutor Office Hour study room and I'll help you troubleshoot live there.
Update: two students were able to resolve these issues by clicking refresh on the browser.
We rolled back the unintentional changes as of 4am ET Tuesday morning July 21. So everything should be back to normal.
However, some students are continuing to report issues. See comment below.
@GavCan I hear you. The new way that highlighting works - you have to select the text first before the highlighter UI shows up - is here to stay. LawHub made that change and we're just trying to stay true to it. I know it's frustrating.
@1416484 Glad to hear that the actual tester is back to normal! Sorry about the review tester though. I'm in the Tutor Office Hours study room. Join me there and I can help you troubleshoot live.

@Lillia555 does refreshing the page fix the issue?
