Hi everyone,

With LSAT Writing for the September 2022 LSAT about to open on Thursday, September 1, 2022, the LSAC wanted to send a quick reminder about LSAT Writing scratch paper use.

Scratch paper is not permitted during an LSAT Writing session. A digital note taking section is available within the LSAT Writing module to type notes as you write your essay.

You can review the LSAT Writing guidelines, including the Frequently Asked Questions section at the LSAT Writing page on LSAC.org.

If you have any other questions, or need further explanations, you can contact a Candidate Services representative via the chat feature located on the bottom right-hand corner of the pages on LSAC.org, email the LSAC at LSACinfo@LSAC.org with “September LSAT” in the subject line, or call them at 215.968.1001.

7Sage admissions consultant Tajira McCoy published a new blog post about SCOTUS decision on affirmative action. You can check it out here: https://classic.7sage.com/scotus-decision-on-affirmative-action/

Hey 7Sagers,

Here's the official April 2022 LSAT Discussion Thread.

REMINDER: Under your Candidate Agreement, you may not discuss the details of any specific LSAT questions at any time. For the April LSAT, general discussion of what sections you had, or how difficult you found a given section, or speculation about which sections were scored or unscored, is prohibited until after 9pm ET, Tuesday, May 3rd.

Posts that violate these rules will be taken down and may result in disciplinary action from LSAC. Let’s work together to ensure the test is fair to everyone, and not share information before everyone has taken the test.

Some examples of typical comments:

✅ The following comments are okay 🙆‍♀️

❌ The following comments are over the line 🙅‍♂️

Good luck to everyone taking the April LSAT!

**Please keep all discussions of the April 2022 LSAT here!**(/red)

The LSAC recently announced that the registration for the August 2022 to June 2023 LSAT is currently scheduled to open on May 12, 2022.

Once registration for the 2022-2023 testing cycle opens, candidates will be able to register for any of the following test administrations:

August 2022

September 2022

October 2022

November 2022

January 2023

February 2023

April 2023

June 2023

Please visit the LSAC's website for more information regarding registration deadlines for each of these test administrations, as well as deadlines for requests for testing accommodations or testing assistance.

In an effort to assist test takers currently registered for the April administration of the LSAT who may wish to change their test date, the LSAC has extended the registration deadline for the June 2022 LSAT until Thursday, April 28, 2022 at 11:59 p.m. ET.

Test takers currently registered for the June LSAT who would prefer to switch to a future administration can withdraw from the June test and then re-register for the test of their choice once registration opens in May. If a test taker withdraws by Thursday, April 28 at 11:59 p.m. ET, they will receive a full refund of the June 2022 fee. If a test taker wishes to change their test date from June 2022 to a subsequent date after April 28, however, they will not receive a full refund and will be charged a test-date-change fee.

Given the expressed preference of the substantial majority of test takers, the LSAC will continue to provide the LSAT in an online, live remote-proctored format.

Hi 7Sagers,

The LSAC informed us that the testing interface for the LSAT will undergo changes for the 2023-2024 cycle, beginning with the August 2023 test. As part of enhanced security measures, the use of keyboard commands like CTRL-F will no longer be possible. However, an alternative function, known as "find text", developed by the LawHub team, will offer similar features in a more secure manner. See the image below.

The "find text" function will be visible at the top center of every page, and it allows test takers to search for terms, with results being highlighted with orange tags or made identifiable for visually impaired users via a screen reader (see the image below). To reset the field, users just need to erase the searched term. It is important to note that this function cannot be dismissed and will be present on all LSAT pages.

For test takers to practice, the "find text" function will be implemented on all LawHub practice tests starting from August 1. Guidance on its use will be available in the "Need help?" section on LawHub. Any queries can be directed to licensingsupport@LSAC.org.

Hi 7Sagers,

We appreciate you choosing 7Sage for your LSAT studies, and we are honored to be part of your journey.

We're always happy to hear about your success stories -- if you are interested, we invite you to share your experience so we can feature your testimonial on our website!

If this sounds up your alley, please email studentservice@7sage.com:

We're so grateful to have you as part of our community, and love seeing you succeed!

Hey 7Sagers!

A few months ago we announced that we'll be replacing the pre-made problem sets in the Core Curriculum. However, after carefully considering feedback from several 7Sagers, we've decided to keep the pre-made problem sets available for the time being. Rest assured, if we do decide to remove them in the future, we'll be sure to give you plenty of advance notice!

Note that you still have the option to create custom drills using our new drilling feature.

If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Happy studying!

Hi everyone,

The LSAC provided an update regarding the issues that occurred during the August 2023 administration of the LSAT, specifically concerning remote testing. The LSAC apologizes for the problems, citing a mix of staffing, infrastructure, and technology issues at Prometric, the selected proctoring vendor. While in-person testing went smoothly, remote testing encountered numerous delays on the first day, affecting many test takers.

To remedy the situation, the LSAC is offering affected students the opportunity to complete their August test, move to a future administration, or receive a full refund. Additional testing days have been scheduled for August 19 and 20, with the option for affected test takers to test in-person or remotely. They are also instructing affected individuals to file formal complaints through their LSAC.org accounts by August 14.

The LSAC are committed to resolving the issues with Prometric and have expressed deep regret for the inconvenience caused. They stress that it's their responsibility to ensure a smooth testing experience and will continue to work to eliminate these issues.

Hi everyone,

The other awardees are Amaris Buser, Jessica Dam, Nour Kalbouneh, Ruben Pinuelas (who said we can use their real names), lawtinx-1 (who preferred that we use their username), and two students who wished to remain completely anonymous.

Altogether, we are awarding $8,000, nine admissions consulting or editing packages, and nine LSAT prep packages.

To everyone who didn't win: thank you so much for your applications. All of you, without exception, will bring something unique and important to the legal profession. You rock.

Hey everyone,

Thank you for choosing 7Sage for your LSAT studies. We are happy to be a part of your journey!

If you have a moment, would you mind leaving us a review on our Trustpilot page? We just registered an account with them so our reviews page is a bit sparse. (Thanks to those of you who already left reviews!) Please feel free to write about anything, for example, whether you found our lessons helpful, our tools and apps user-friendly, or how we stack up against the competition.

We would really appreciate as many reviews as we can get, but totally understand if you prefer not to leave a public review.

Thank you again!

Hi everyone,

We plan to make the auto-builder the default for creating drills in about a week or two. Please let us know if you notice any issues using the auto-builder on your end so that we can correct them before it becomes the default.

Currently, you can access the auto-builder by going to the Drills tab and selecting "Use Auto Builder (beta)." See the GIF below:

​

Please also feel free to let me know if you have any questions.

Hi everyone,

The LSAC has provided the following information about their upcoming LSAC Analytical Reasoning Field Study scheduled to take place December 16 and 17.

As part of the LSAC's ongoing efforts to improve the LSAT, they are researching alternative, equally valid ways to assess analytical reasoning (AR) skills (also known as Logic Games).This is a long-term research effort that they’ve been working on for several years and will continue for some time.

As part of this effort, the LSAC included a special research section in the June 2022 LSAT administration for some test takers. Building on that research, they will administer a three-section AR field study to several thousand volunteers.

Participation is open to anyone 18 years or older in the United States or Canada who has an LSAC.org account. This will include future and past test takers, as well as people who are considering taking the LSAT. The same terms and conditions apply as a regular LSAT administration.

The field study will be administered in the same live, remotely proctored format as a standard LSAT, using ProctorU and LawHub. The field study will consist of three sections: one section of traditional AR questions and two sections of questions that use alternative approaches to assess AR skills.

As an incentive for your participation, test takers will receive feedback on their performance on the traditional AR questions. Every study participant will receive a copy of the traditional AR section, the correct answers, and the answers they provided for each question. Upon completion of the LSAC AR Field Study, only the traditional AR section will be disclosed.

The data gathered in this study will enable the LSAC to continue its rigorous testing and analysis to ensure that potential new question types have the same reliability and predictive validity as current AR questions so that schools remain confident of the LSAT’s predictive value.

It is important to reiterate that there are no plans to change any part of the LSAT’s content in the near future. If and when the LSAC decides to incorporate any new question types into the actual LSAT, they will provide lengthy advance notice, practice questions, and explanatory materials prior to LSAC using any new question type in a scored section of the LSAT.

You can sign up for the LSAC Analytical Reasoning Field Study here.
