I am sort of confused on this implementation.
Are there any August test takers who can comment on this process?
It appears that the secondary camera is set next to the main one, or will it be put in a different spot to allow for multiple angles of our test.
Are there apps we need preinstalled or does it connect through any phone web browser?
Before they didn't want us to have phones around, now we need to have a phone connected.. how can I be sure it doesn't go to sleep/idle screen saver and be fully recording/active during the test.
Does having another camera angle result in them interrupting less to "just see the backside of your elbows again real quick"
Starting with the August 2026 LSAT, if you are granted a Remote Testing Exception for the live, remote-proctored modality of the test, you will be required to use your smartphone as a second camera during your testing session. This new policy will only apply to the multiple-choice section of the LSAT. LSAT Argumentative Writing will continue to be administered online with a single camera.
LSAT Remote Testing and Distance Exceptions | The Law School Admission Council
Second Camera for Remote Testing in 2026-2027 | The Law School Admission Council
☐ New requirement: A smartphone with a front-facing camera. Please review the information including a helpful video on Second Camera for Remote Testing in 2026-2027
• Candidates who are approved to use a smartphone to monitor a medical condition during the test will not be required to use it as their second camera.
☐ New requirement: A tripod or a phone stand for the smartphone. Do not use any books or reference materials to act as your phone stand as they are strictly prohibited
@ryumi idk I was doing better with RC but have been falling back into the content reading instead of context which I think could explain my score retraction after good progress.
~~~
Here is what my AI Tutor said, which illustrates with what I have been trying to communicate.
You're reading for:
What is this passage about?
when many RC questions are asking:
Why did the author include this specific thing?
Those are different.
Example:
You finish a science passage and remember:
Magnetic reversals helped support ocean-floor spreading.
That's content.
But LSAT asks:
The discussion of magnetic reversals primarily serves to...
Now the answer isn't the fact itself.
It's something like:
provide evidence supporting a previously introduced theory.
That's function.
Follow the instructions.
Conduct within legal systems requires conforming to the institutional procedures.
If you don't follow the instructions and can't deliver the requested material; it could look bad on your profile.
Some admins say they throw out any extra pages and refuse to look at them. Law rule 101: Follow the instructions.
RC
PoE everything. Anticipating AC can be trap. You need to process of elimination, cannot move on too quickly for spectrum of support type questions.
Point @ text. AC should be found in the text. If you cannot find support in the text, it is the AC that is supported by text.
Read for context not content. We do not need to learn the subject matter or memorize the passage, we just need to be able to recognize the rhetorical moves, and quickly recall back to the passage. Understanding context helps the improve passage map making it more effective for AC application.
The data shows that there is not a knowledge gap, and your testimony speaks to anxiety having a detrimental effect.
A challenge of the LSAT is the attrition and stamina. The curriculum doesn't mention test day strategies much, put your post into SageAI and it should provide helpful tips for you.
Sinking too much time into an evil question can poison the rest of the section the way it saps time and energy. It would be better to recognize those difficult questions as a good skip, and hold to a rule like 2m limit- then pull the rip cord out to maintain flow. Flag those questions, accept it is a good skip, and if you have time after that is when we can ruminate a bit more.
Your low score was actually a really good lesson. Do not be discouraged, take this as something to learn from. It is far better to experience that now and figure it out before test date, rather than suffering a collapse on test day that carries through the full section as can happen with the delicate RC section.
SageAI I think would say your knowledge is there, we just need to build the test taking stamina, and provide some rules we can fall back on. In times of stress people do not rise to an occasion, we fall to our level of training. People can choke, and fall to the pressure, it happens to the top paid athletes. The legends live in that moment, have been there time and time again, so when it is their time to take the shot they do not stress of what they need to accomplish- they stay in the moment and think of how they want to handle it, falling back onto the routines they've drilled time and time again.
I've seen similar hypothetical bar-review type questions on social medias but usually avoid those videos.
I tend to avoid these specific legal claims because statues vary so differently from jurisdiction. I am afraid of believing one thing from something I have seen, and then later finding out it was the opposite of how the courts in my working area preform. I noticed this game users reference back to specific law codes, are these federal?
Is that really such a big concern, learning the wrong laws or region?
All that aside this looks like the most polished LSAT Game yet, I really like how it is familiar to LR questions by giving us the rule (stem) and a case (stimulus) to apply it to. The UI is really outstanding, I think that will go a long way to engaging users and having them continue to play. The other games don't hold me for as long because it feels like flash card training out of my element, but this seems to play really smoothly like an addictive game (just one more turn).
Would it be a good idea to invest that time into scanning and classifying each question? Say it only takes you a few second.. 25Qs.. well sir you just sacrificed over 1m of your 35 timer and the clock keeps ticking. I think the task would take a bit longer than 3s/Q to accomplish so as far as timing, no..
Pacing? Wouldn't that really pull you out of any flow.. I guess once you have things set up right it might improve the pace during that time span, but you cannot overlook the setup preparations before.
The typical strategy is, read the question slowly. Identify the premise & conclusion. Anticipate the answer.
I read the stem before the stimulus so that I know what my task is, it helps me to analyze the stimulus with purpose.
The strats are either: read stem first, OR read stimulus first.
I guess secondary is: do you anticipate fully, or rely on full PoE. (some question types can be anticipated, other that rely on spectrum require you to weigh against other answer choices- IE which one most strengthens.
DW it is not a dumb question. I honestly though it was a good idea to make a mental mind map for RC, but in reality you want to keep things as simple as you can, and have some fail safe rules you can fall back on during test day.
Yea... we were all cheating ourselves a little when it comes to BR.
Check out this thread about the recent update to BR settings

@sassupreeeme I think that is an accurate comparison. I had already started it before LSAT, after that Sage AI suggested I do Aristotle's Politics 🤣 took me a few chapters to realize that wasn't a good idea
shifting to context overview rather than content summary for me was the biggest help in approaching RC with the proper mindset and reading style.
My advice now is to avoid those heavy readings. I purposely have been avoiding books, when I do read it is Thomas Sowell, NYT/WSJ, or Aeon.co essays
Too often we think of political behavior purely in the form of government campaigning. Out in the real world, especially in working jobs you will notice the diversity of abilities and personalities. Conflict is like the ether that the corporate universe flows by.
I like the idea you came up with, and think the more personal a subject is, the more it can say about your ethics and morals given the situation. Of course approach the situation with humility, do not assign blame, and appraise it as a neutral party. Through that scene you should be able to portray a powerful character study of someone who is competent, capable and mature enough to be among your peers in law school.
As a potential student I want to know admissions have done due diligence and is fitting the class with conducive group of peers. I sort of get the feeling that the purpose of that essay is more to expose your humility, cooperation, and ability to compromise. It would be really great if you guys came to agreements into a total 360 win-win situation that found all parties uplifted and made more whole than before. Certainly reconsider it if the scenario was we yelled and screamed at each other until one gave in and the other just finally got their way.
Best of luck! The wind of freedom blows
I find it very helpful for people to recognize their learning style. I love the flexibility of the 7Sage platform that allows us to strive for our best and excel using our strengths while helping us identify and address the weaknesses.
Try and figure out if your VARK (Visual, Audio, Reading/Writing, or Kinesthetic (hands on) type. I think that can help users to build effective study sessions that utilize your thinking process to fully illustrate the concepts.
I feel like I should feed my VARK type into 7Sage AI now and craft more holistic sessions that can push this experience even further.
@KunalRoy don't be so harsh! Feedback like this is helpful. Things are a work in progress, and it is nice to see continued development and improvements being made. I do not think this will be the last update
@J.Y.Ping I tried the suggested but the saved data was no automatically removed.
I think I user would need to fully delete app and reinstall to clear the space.
Where can we see what has been downloaded? Is there a space I can individually select content to add or remove, I was searching for a downloads page like streaming apps.
It’s a welcomed feature, but as indicated it has some complicated implications considering storage.
I recently filled my phone and had to clean out a lot of space. I maintain pretty good connectivity too, even now I’m typing from an airplane using their starlink wifi, and my phones data goes anywhere in the world.
For me I would rather not use this feature, but there is a time when I would have absolutely needed it.
Now I look at 7Sage and the app is about 65mb.. plus 700mb of documents
I hope this can help people with RC. This method was very effective for me towards improving in RC.
What are these specialized public interest programs? I have not seen any schools that have a specific separate program for public interest aside from the standard law admissions entry, is this a separate program you need to seek entry?
I am trying to path towards AUSA, relying on PSLF, and seeking out schools that have good networks and connections into public service.
Discuss CBT techniques during therapy for anxiety and settling down to sleep.
Do you ever do the revenge bedtime procrastination?
Would it be possible to wake up earlier to study before everything else in the day, could that help?
Your chart shows steady continual progress that places you well ahead of the curve. You’ve already passed the 50% threshold.
What do you expect to get from prep tests? When is your official test?
While you think that 1 prep test every couple weeks is not enough, I think it is too much.
Given your personal schedule and current development you need to reassess and personalize a plan that is flexible to abrupt changes day to day, and recognizes your outside commitments.
Suffering through burnout sucks, but pushing further into it during LSAT prep can be deadly. We want to avoid reinforcing bad habits, to break that cycle we need to depart from what is bringing us down and focus on what lifts us to the BR potential. Quality over quantity, less is more.. and more can be worse than nothing at all.
Depending on your job, it can be next to impossible to get quality reps after work, in those situations I recommend adjusting sleep schedule to allow for brief study sessions before work. 5-10LR, or 1-2passages, it doesn’t have to be long, just consistent, focused, and engaged. A problem is forcing past those peak moments causes us to lose our fundamental foundational form.
We want to remain in control, focused, anticipate fully. Whenever you feel that slipping, like you are reacting to the test and letting it command you is a good sign that you’ve gone past diminishing returns.
You only need to worry about prep tests when you are in the last final stage before official test to build the stamina endurance required for the marathon, any prep test in between are purely for vanity to check your current skill range, which can be pulled pretty accurate from projected scores. You don’t need to do anymore than section stacking LR:RC, anything more is the type of exercise towards stamina not the actual skill testing.
@MikaelaS thank you very much for explaining
