We got a new version of the iOS app ready to be released soon, but you can try it out today with TestFlight if you don't mind being a guinea pig. Here are the main changes:

• New: Remembers your last place in Discussion, Proctor, Logic Games, and Course - even after the app is restarted.

• Improved: Background audio keeps playing when app is loaded.

• Improved: Proctor settings are easier to adjust.

• Improved: PDFs in course are downloadable.

• Improved: Grader result tables maintain color after being selected.

To see it, first go to the AppStore and install "TestFlight". This is an official Apple app that lets people try out versions of apps before they are released on the AppStore.

Then tap the link below:

https://testflight.apple.com/join/PpzI6KHc

This is the first time we're trying a public TestFlight, so please let me know if you run into any difficulties. And of course if you notice any issues with the app, we want to know about it, so please share!

The digital tester for problem sets is live now! We know a lot of you have been waiting for this—thank you for your patience while we worked on this!

Where are the old PDFs?

Since LSAT is 100% digital testing now, the old PDF option is hidden by default. To see the old PDF options, tap the little PDF icon just under the bottom left corner of the tester.

How to Create Problem Sets

Just like before, you can create custom problem sets with any of the questions you have access to on your account. The difference is that you can take them using the digital tester, and all the problem sets you create are saved and tracked on your account. You can see a list of all the problem sets you have started/created on the Problem Sets page. Problem sets from the curriculum have book icons next to their names.

On that page, tap on "Create Custom Problem Set" to create a problem set. The interface is the same as the old "Question Bank" interface (but now it's faster!).

How to Take Single Sections

To do a single section, you make a custom problem set with the questions for the one section that you want to take. If you aren't familiar with the custom problem set interface, here are more detailed instructions on how to do this:

Drills are deprecated

The "Drills" lessons in Ultimate+ are now deprecated and will be deleted from the curriculum soon. You can easily recreate them with the Problem Sets page, so they don't serve a purpose anymore. For now, until they are deleted, you can still access them so that if you're in the middle of them you still know your current progress.

Please let us know if you see anything strange or broken!

The LSAT Ultimate+ course is almost ready! It's not available on the normal enroll page yet.

But... since you're already using 7Sage, you can purchase or upgrade now before the official launch, for $50 off the regular price.

What's does Ultimate+ have over Ultimate?

• Hard problem sets. This means you have access to all the questions from PT 17-35 in the form of problem sets.New Question Bank. This is a sortable, filterable, question bank with quick view access to most of the questions from PT1-16 (LR from PT1-4 are the only ones missing, but will be there in a couple of weeks)Newest PT explanations. Full explanations for the three newest PTs (73-75). You will also get access to explanations for the next two PTs (76 and 77) as soon as we release them.

We know many of you have wanted to try the new Flex format with only three sections without a workaround like making three problem sets or just leaving a section blank. So, we are happy to announce that we have just rolled out a Flex simulator option for every PrepTest (all 95)! If you don't see the new option, try doing a force refresh.

To use it with a PrepTest, check the box labeled "Simulate Flex" next to the PrepTest name in the digital tester. This will skip the second LR section. The scaled scores generated from Flex mode uses the same methodology as our Flex Score Convertor. Because no one outside of LSAC knows how Flex is scored, this is just an educated guess. See the screenshot below:

You can apply the flex option to any PrepTest that is not completed. So you can switch to Flex if you are still doing the test or doing blind review, but not if you already scored your test. If you already entered answers or other data for the second LR section, then the Flex option will erase any data for that section when you score the test.

Please let us know if you encounter any issues.

Hey everyone, I think I may have accidentally hidden a big part of the lessons for most/all students. I'm not a hundred percent sure, but I wanted to put this up in case it's affecting anyone and they are wondering what's going on.

Sorry! Working on restoring access right now.

Edit: Lessons are definitely missing, figured out problem and working on solution. Will likely take several hours.

Edit: Fix is live and everything should be back to normal, please let us know if you notice anything amiss. Thanks for your patience!

Our payment system will be offline for maintenance on Friday, April 28 at 1pm (10am PT).

Came back online at 8:05pm ET

11pm ET (8pm PT)

tomorrow morning

7pm ET (4pm PT)

During this time, you will not be able to purchase a subscription or modify/cancel an existing subscription. Sorry! We appreciate your patience and understanding.

If you need any assistance, please reach out to studentservices@7sage.com.

Right now, the arrow keys on 7Sage are shortcuts to go to the previous or next lesson/explanation. On some video sites, arrow keys are used to fforward or rewind video.

Some students don't like this, so we are thinking about changing it.

[Update]:

Thank you for your feedback everyone! The keyboard shortcuts are now:

← = Rewind 5s

→ = Fast forward 5s

shift + ← = Previous Lesson

shift + → = Next Lesson

Hi everyone, we're putting in performance enhancements for the site today!

Unfortunately, this will take a while, and the discussion forum will be acting strange and/or offline until it is done. I expect the total downtime to be 3 hours or less, and the update will be starting very soon.

Sorry for the trouble!

Sorry, we are in the progress of fixing the order right now!

[Edit 3: All done! Total analytics downtime ~ 1.5 hours :) Everything should be working again. Please let us know if you run into any problems]

Hi everyone,

The 7Sage analytics will be offline tonight starting at:

8:30pm Pacific

11:30pm Eastern

During this time you will not be able to score new PrepTests, delete existing PrepTests, or mark questions with a flag. You will be able to view your existing analytics. Maintenance is expected to take three hours, although we hope to get it done sooner.

Sorry for any trouble this may cause!

[Edit 1: Used to expect three hours of downtime, now expecting all night based on latest simulation runs. :(]

[Edit 2: Figured out how to run things faster. Expecting three hours of downtime again :)]

Scoring and editing PrepTests will be temporarily unavailable starting at 10pm PT, 1am ET tonight. You should be able to see your existing data. We hope to finish in one hour, but it may take longer. Sorry for any inconvenience this causes!

update Finished! (30m unavailability)

The discussion forum will be temporarily unavailable today for maintenance.

The maintenance will start at:

5pm Pacific

6pm Mountain

7pm Central

8pm Eastern

(very soon!)

We are planning for the maintenance to take an hour, although we hope to get it done faster. Sorry for any hassle!

EDIT: And... we're back! 14 minutes downtime on the discussions. Thanks for your patience while we did that!

Hi everyone,

We are rolling out an update tonight at roughly 9pm PDT, 12am midnight ET that will log everyone out. After the logout, you should be able to login immediately.

Because of the logout, please avoid doing a PrepTest or Problem Set during this time so that your work is not interrupted.

If you are in the middle of a PrepTest or Problem Set at the time of the update, the tester should detect the logout and ask you to refresh the page. However, you may lose your last minute of work.

Sorry for the trouble!

Hey fellow Canadians, it's election day today. Don't forget to vote!

If you're not sure what party matches up with your political views, CBC has a slick little webapp that will tell you after just a couple minutes of questions:

https://votecompass.cbc.ca

UPDATE: Site and app are back up again! Luckily everything went smoothly, so the total downtime was less than an hour :)

We are moving the site to new servers very soon on Thursday, November 19. This will affect both the site and the App.

We are taking the site down starting at 11:30pm Eastern (8:30pm Pacific) time. ​We hope to have the site back up within a few hours, but it may take longer, so please expect it to be down until the next morning.:(

The good news is: based on our testing, the site should be faster after the move :)

Sorry for the inconvenience during the move!

If you are still unable to access the site the next morning (Friday, November 20), please clear your DNS Cache (https://documentation.cpanel.net/display/CKB/How+To+Clear+Your+DNS+Cache). If that doesn't help, please send us an email.

The newest version of Apple's iPhone/iPad/iPod operating system, iOS 9, was just released earlier today. Upgrading to this new version may cause parts of the 7Sage app to stop working for some devices.

I've been running the app on my iPhone with iOS 9 (I got an early release) for about a week without seeing any problems on the app. But I've heard that there are problems with other people's devices, and I confirmed that the Grader and Course options stopped working on my iPad mini after upgrading.

Sorry if this iOS 9 problem affects your device! We already made a fix, and submitted it to Apple for approval just a minute ago. Hopefully they'll approve the update quickly, but they usually take a week, sometimes much longer.

Update: The server updates went very smoothly and we are back online! Total downtime was about 11 minutes. Thank you for bearing with us while we did the upgrade.

7Sage will be temporarily unavailable while we update the servers.

Pacific Time: 9pm Friday, Oct 18

Eastern Time: Midnight Friday, Oct 18

We expect that the site will be available again in two hours, hopefully less.

Please avoid doing a PrepTest or Problem Set near this time so that your work is not interrupted. Sorry for any inconvenience!

Thanks to @Pacifico and @nicole.hopkins for letting me know that sometimes people get added to group message threads in the private message / inbox feature of the discussion forums, can't leave, and are destined to receive every message posted to that group in the future!

Sorry if that's been causing you problems! We put in some changes so that you can edit opt out and remove yourself from group messaging threads. Just go to the message thread you want to leave and tap on the big blue button on the left labeled "Remove from thread". I hope this helps!

So I didn't know this until today (thanks for sending the YT link JY!), but YouTube lets you Rewind Pause Forward with the JKL buttons on your keyboard:

I instantly loved it. So easy to learn and makes controlling videos so much more instinctual. I had to have this in our video player, so I added it :) You may need to do a force refresh if the new shortcuts aren't showing up for you.

So now we have (new in bold):

K or Space = Play / Pause

J = Rewind 10 seconds

L = Forward 10 seconds

, or < = Speed down

. or > = Speed down

F = Full Screen

M = Mute

↓ = Volume Down

↑ = Volume Up

This cheatsheet is available in the player by hovering the icon on the left side of the player, above the playback speed options.

With the exception of the last two (volume up and volume down), these shortcuts are the same as YouTube, so you can use your 7Sage wizardry to master YouTube too.

7Sage will be temporarily unavailable while we are upgrading the servers.

PDT: 11pm Saturday, July 17 late night

EDT: 2am Sunday, July 18 early morning

We expect that the site will be available again within an hour. But even if things go sideways, it will definitely be back online by the next morning.

Please avoid doing a PrepTest or Problem Set near this time so that your work is not interrupted. Sorry for any inconvenience!

Edit: Maintenance is complete. Total downtime 40m. Thanks!

Thanks for waiting while the search service on the forums was offline for a serious upgrade. We finally got a new search engine ready, running, and hooked up to the discussion forums. So now searches should be much more useful than the old search! There may be some weirdness over the next few days, so please bear with us.

About lawyers :)

Good news, we finished the problem set changes! The problem set overhaul is going live tonight (Wednesday night / Thursday morning) at:

12am midnight Pacific time

4am Eastern time

The change requires a lot of manual changes to the course, so it will take at least a couple of hours for me to complete the change. During that time the site will still be completely available, but there will be temporary weirdness with the arrangement of problem sets in the course.

As we mentioned earlier, if you are in the middle of a group of problem sets, please try to finish the problem sets before the change over and delay further problem sets until after the change happens.

Once the change is done, you will see only the new problem sets. You will be able switch between the old problem sets and the new problem sets from the Account page.

We will be adding this option so that students who signed up before April 24th 2015 and have copies of the old PDFs. If you signed up with 7Sage after April 24th, we recommend using the new problem sets and ignoring the old problem sets.

[Edit: Update complete! Total downtime 16 minutes. Thank you for your patience!]

7Sage will be temporarily unavailable while we update the servers.

Pacific Time: 10pm Monday, Nov 6 late night

Eastern Time: 1am Tuesday, Nov 7 early morning

We expect that the site will be available again in an hour, hopefully less. But even if things go horribly wrong, it will definitely be back online by the next morning.

Please avoid doing a PrepTest or Problem Set near this time so that your work is not interrupted. Sorry for any inconvenience!
