Announcement from LSAC:
Hi all,
Today, at 2pm ET we noticed that Lessons and You Trys on the Syllabus were broken. As of 2:25pm, the problem has been fixed.
We are still investigating what led to this error.
In the meantime, please let us know if you're continuing to experience usage issues.
My apologies about the outage!
J.Y.
We just received an email from LSAC.
Summary
The April LSAT may (read: probably will) be canceled.
If you registered for the March or April LSAT, you can restore a canceled score!
If you canceled an LSAT score, ever, LSAC will email you to tell you what you got on that test.
You can choose to restore the score.

We hope you and your loved ones are staying safe and healthy during this difficult time. Our hearts go out to everyone who has been affected by the COVID-19 situation.
As you know, the COVID-19 outbreak forced cancellation of the March LSAT. The April LSAT in North America may also be canceled or postponed. We will continue to follow the guidance of public health authorities and will announce a final decision about the April test no later than April 10, so that April registrants have the opportunity to plan accordingly.
Given the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 situation, LSAC is working to provide testing alternatives for candidates, including candidates who need a score for admission this fall. We are looking at a number of options, including adding another test date in the late spring, secure remote-proctored testing, the possibility of in-person testing in smaller groups with appropriate social distancing and other safety measures, and more. We will continue to provide frequent updates on these efforts.
I wanted to make you aware of another step we are taking to help candidates get a reportable score in order to apply to law school during this difficult time. Any candidate who registered for the March 2020 or April 2020 LSAT, and who has a canceled score from a previous LSAT, will now have the opportunity to review their canceled score and restore that canceled score to their record if they choose.
Our records indicate that more than 3,000 of the candidates who registered for the March and April LSAT administrations have a previously canceled score. Many of these individuals do not currently have a non-canceled score, so allowing them to review and restore their canceled score could be an important step in enabling them to complete their application process for admission this fall.
Participation is completely optional, but given the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 emergency, we are strongly encouraging all candidates who had registered for the March and April LSATs to take advantage of this opportunity if they have a previously canceled score. We appreciate everything you are doing to support candidates during this time, and hope that you will encourage eligible candidates with whom you are in touch to take advantage of this opportunity as quickly as possible given where we are in the admission cycle.
We will be providing March and April registrants with their canceled scores over the next few days via confidential email. For candidates who choose to restore a previously canceled score, we will update their files within 2-3 business days, and new reports will be provided to any schools to which they have applied during this cycle.
This “Review and Restore” opportunity could help a significant number of candidates, but we know it won’t address the needs of everyone. We will continue our work to provide a variety of testing alternatives for the next several months. We also applaud the efforts of so many of our member law schools who have extended application deadlines and taken other steps to provide greater flexibility for candidates.

By the way, the new site also has a discussion forum:

@ Yes, you can turn off recommended BR in your settings: https://7sage.com/users/settings/practices
@ Yeah, notes during BR is coming to the new site.

@ Your fee waiver account on classic 7Sage (this site) is active. You can continue to use it. You don't have to enroll on the new site.
But if you want to enroll on the new site, you need to sign up for a new account on 7sage.com and enroll again there. It's $1/month.
@ You should.
@ We'll be in touch within 24 hours.
@ PTs you can manually transfer. We're working on automated transfer.
We’re doing another round of early-bird enrollment for our Law School Explained courses.
This time, enrollment will be open for one week, from Monday, June 1 to Sunday, June 7, for the following courses:
All courses are still in progress, and the price differences partially reflect the extent of their development. Cumulatively, we’ve produced over three dozen video lessons and over twelve hours of audio lessons, and we’re working around the clock to add more. New lessons will automatically appear in your course as we complete them. We expect to finish developing these courses later this year.
Many of you might not be ready to divert your attention from the LSAT, so rolled into this launch is an extra-long access time of 24 months. This way, you can be reasonably sure that you’ll still get to use the course when you’re ready for it, and that it will be complete by the time you do.
Recap:
After June 7, enrollment will be closed until we complete more content.
You can find the explanations for any question you want on this page on the new site:
https://7sage.com/review/questions
"@.von.cao" Yes, eventually. Right now, I'm targeting end of 2025.
@ @ Please see @'s reply. You do have to first create a free account here: https://7sage.com/users/register
If you have any issues, you can always email studentservice@.com
@ No, we're not asking you to pay twice.
What transferring billing does is to push back the next date on which you get billed again. You get charged a prorated fee based on how far back the next billing date gets pushed.
I don't know about your case specifically but let's pretend that you last paid on June 6. That would mean that you were paid up through July 6 (a month). If you transfer today, June 23, the next date that you'll get billed again is July 24. The difference between July 6 (original next billing date) and July 24 (new next billing date) is the extra days that the prorated fee is for.
@ Email studentservice@.com and we'll guide you through it.
@ Unfortunately not.
@ That's right. Transferring pushes BACK the next date that you get charged. That push back is the extra days that you get a prorated charge for.
@ Unfortunately, fee waiver account are ineligible for transfer. Please email studentservice@.com about this and we can set you up to re-enroll on the new site in the fee waiver program.
@ I'm excited too! See my post above about analytics transfer.
@ Yup, you will.
Hey everyone, @KevinLin7Sage did an internal presentation for 7Sage Tutors on the difference between CC v1 and v2. I thought it was such a good presentation that I wanted to share it with everyone. So, if you've wondered what the differences are between CC v1 and v2:
@ Yes. You just have to enroll again via Fee Waiver on the new site:
https://new.7sage.com/blog/7sages-fee-waiver-program
@ The new site doesn't have a study scheduler yet. We're working on it and we're expecting a late July / early August release.
@ Unfortunately, fee waiver subscriptions do not transfer. But we can get you setup on the new site to enroll again in the fee waiver program there:
https://new.7sage.com/blog/7sages-fee-waiver-program
@ Yes, unless you're using the obsolete 2-digit PTs format on this site.
I'm excited too!

@ Parker-1-1 We stopped supporting the current app and it will stop working next Monday.
We are working on a new app though it's too early for me to give a reliable estimate on when it'll be released.
The new site is mobile friendly so you can use it on your phone / tablet.
Hi everyone, if you were registered for the March test (that LSAC canceled), please send an email to studentservice at 7sage.com and we will extend your account for +1 month.
@ If you just subscribed here, contact studentservice@.com and we'll set you up with a new.7sage.com account that you can use for free (that matches your sub here).
@.rahn If you transfer, you'll still be able to access your account on this site, including the analytics.
@ If you just renewed 2 days ago, on June 15, that means you're paid up through July 15. If you transfer today, June 17, the prorated fee will be for 2 days to get you paid up through July 17 which is when you'll get charged again. The difference between July 15 and July 17 is 2 days. That's the 2 extra days that the prorated fee is for. Does that make sense?
I'm happy to announce that we delivered on both PrepTest and Drill import ahead of schedule! You can now import both from classic.7sage.com to new 7Sage here:
https://7sage.com/users/settings/practice/import/classic
You can export your Drill results from classic.7sage.com to new 7Sage here:
https://7sage.com/users/settings/practice/import/classic
This will work as long as your email address for both accounts are the same. Unfortunately, BR results will not import nor will Drills taken on the obsolete 2-digit format PrepTests.
Hi everyone, I have exciting news to share.
We're giving you a free peek into a new set of courses that we're developing in collaboration with professors from top law schools to teach you what you may or may not learn in your 1L year.
I say "may or may not" because the way teaching happens in law school is strange.
You'd think that there's this body of law and that the professor would just tell you what the laws are and then you can learn to apply them to different situations. But that's not how it is. Instead, most professors utilize what's called the Socratic method by which they ask questions of you to prod you in the right direction so you can figure out the answers yourself. The claim is that by so doing, they're teaching you to "think like a lawyer." No doubt it's sometimes successful. But often it's not. If I could sum up my 1L experience with the method in one word, it would be this: frustrating.
I would have preferred to simply listen to professors communicate their knowledge of the law. They had the knowledge. I had an empty head.
So, in some ways, what I'm doing here is an attempt to fix something that had bothered me for years. I'm trying to make legal educational content that J.Y.-from-the-past would have wanted. In so doing, I'm hoping that I'm making something that you, current or future law student, want.
We are preparing lessons for courses that most 1Ls have to take. They are Property, Contracts, Torts, Civil Procedure, Criminal Law, and Constitutional Law.
We have only a few lessons ready in the Property and Torts curriculum, but we're eager to share what we have.
If you have any kind of account with us, including a free account, you'll be able to access these lessons. This won't be true forever, but it is for now.
Hi everyone, I've been listening to your feedback over the past few days and I want to let you know that we've started working on a way for you to transfer your data from classic to new 7Sage.
The most important data is PrepTest data and you can already manually import those to new 7Sage. It takes about 4 minutes per manual PT import.
In approximately 4-6 weeks (hoping for 4!), I expect that we'll have built a way to automatically import 3-digit PrepTest data from classic to new 7Sage.
In another 4-6 weeks, automatic import of 3-digit Drilling data from classic to new 7Sage should be available too.
In the meantime, I just want to emphasize that you do NOT have to switch to using the new 7Sage. The classic site, i.e., this site, will continue to work just as before.

Hi everyone, we've just been told by LSAC that the March LSAT is cancelled due to the coronavirus.
Future LSAT administrations have not been canceled yet.
If this affects you, please let us know (studentservice at 7sage.com). We will extend your course for +1 month.
Full text of email:
All of us at LSAC are saddened by the COVID-19 outbreaks affecting so many countries and communities around the world. Our hearts go out to all of the individuals, families, and communities that have been affected. We are working with global, national, and local officials to comply with local health directives and guidance, while striving to address the needs of test takers and schools.
Due to the growing COVID-19 emergency, LSAC has made the difficult decision to cancel the March LSAT administration worldwide, consistent with the advice of public health authorities. Candidates will be rescheduled for the next test administration in their area and offered additional scheduling options should public health authorities continue to limit travel and in-person interactions later this spring. LSAC is working closely with its member law schools to help assure a smooth enrollment process for candidates who may still be planning to apply for fall 2020 admission.
Cancelling the March test is a difficult step, but we believe it is the most responsible course of action to protect test takers, testing personnel, and the broader community in a fair and equitable manner that does not result in disparities in access to testing for vulnerable populations or candidates from different regions. As you know, public health authorities are urging (and increasingly mandating) immediate proactive steps by businesses, organizations, and individuals to limit travel and interactions to slow the spread of the disease and help our health care systems keep pace with demand that could otherwise be overwhelming.
We are taking swift action to try to ease the impact of this cancellation and to support all law school candidates during this crisis. We know the candidates you advise may have many questions, so I want to let you know what we are doing, including the following steps:
All March registrants in the U.S., Canada, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands have been automatically registered for the April 25 test in the community where they were registered for the March test. All March registrants in other regions have been automatically registered for the June test in their locations. We know that with widespread university closures, travel restrictions, and other disruptions caused by this crisis that some candidates may wish to change locations. Our staff are available and eager to help; candidates who prefer a different date or location, or any other change, should please contact our Candidate Services team at LSACinfo@LSAC.org or 215.968.1001.
While none of us can predict how the COVID-19 virus situation will evolve, we are hopeful that the April and June tests will be able to go forward as planned. We will continuously monitor the situation and provide updates as necessary.
Given the uncertainty of this evolving crisis, we are also aggressively exploring options to administer the LSAT in alternative ways that will best protect the health and well-being of test takers and the broader community. These alternatives could include secure remote-proctored tests, an additional spring/summer administration, and other options that would meet evolving public health guidelines.
We are working with our member law schools that are still accepting applications for fall 2020 enrollment to help expand flexibility on deadlines for their candidates. We applaud our member schools’ support of candidates and are confident that our admission community will continue to respond to this crisis with compassion and agility. We are also supporting our member schools as they move from in-person to on-line support of admitted candidates as the enrollment cycle for fall 2020 concludes.
Thank you for your support, and the support you provide to students and candidates. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have questions.
Hi everyone,
For the past year, we’ve been working on a major project. The premise is simple. Law school professors know a lot about the law. We know a little about teaching. What if we joined forces?
The result is Law School Explained, a series of video and audio lessons that walk you through the basics of a typical 1L curriculum. Instead of making you infer the law by reading hundreds of cases, we just, well, explain it—and by “we,” I mean “top professors from around the country.” We’ve broken the lessons into small, digestible units. Think of our course as a primer, preview, and supplement that you can watch on the couch or listen to when you go for a run.
We’re working on eight different subjects: Property, Criminal Law, Torts, Con Law, Civil Procedure, Legal Writing, Contracts, and a forthcoming class about how to succeed in law school. So far, we’ve published about a hundred animated video lessons and nearly two hundred audio lessons. Although we’re producing more content each week, we’re finally ready to share this. Here’s how it works:
You can subscribe to our audio and video lessons for $16 per month, or you can subscribe to our audio lessons alone for $9 per month.
With either option, you’ll be able to listen to them right from our website. If you subscribe to the video lessons, you’ll also be able to watch the animations on our website. And with both options, you’ll get access to new content as we publish it.
>>You can sign up here: https://classic.7sage.com/lawschool/pricing/(((/p)
We’re eager to hear what you think!
We're currently experiencing an issue with the site that resulted in a lot of students courses being downgraded. We're investigating the issue right now and will keep you updated.
Very sorry about this.
@ Progress in the CC can be "imported" manually by checking off the completed lessons on the new site. There's no way to import notes, unfortunately. The two systems are entirely different.
Hello! The Content Team at 7Sage has been teaching the new version of our RC curriculum. You can find the archives here. Just search for any RC class that Albert, Kevin, or I've taught.
One request we got during class was to share the flowchart that we used. So here it is!
You can import your PT results from classic.7sage.com here:
https://7sage.com/users/settings/practice/import/classic
This will work as long as your email address for both accounts are the same. Unfortunately, BR results will not import.
PT import is live on new 7Sage! As long as your new 7Sage account uses the same email as this account, you can import your PT results from classic to new here: https://7sage.com/users/settings/practice/import/classic
A summary of the email we received from LSAC:
*March LSAT administrations canceled in: South Korea, Thailand, Japan, Hong Kong, and China
*March North America administrations proceeding as usual, but might cancel if situation deteriorates.
*Any test taker currently registered for the March 2020 LSAT may switch to the April 2020, June 2020, or July 2020 test by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time, on Friday, March 20, at no additional charge.
*March test takers will be allowed to wear nose and mouth masks and to bring hand sanitizer.
Full text of email:
All of us at LSAC are saddened by the Coronavirus outbreaks affecting numerous countries around the world and numerous areas of the United States. We are working with global, national, and local officials to comply with local health directives and guidance, while striving to address the needs of test takers and schools.
We recognize that candidates may have questions about how the Coronavirus outbreak will affect upcoming LSAT administrations. We have created a Coronavirus resource page on our LSAC.org website to provide the latest information and answers to frequently asked questions. We will be updating this page whenever new information is available, and we hope that it is a helpful resource for you as you advise your students. We would welcome any feedback and any additional questions you or your students have.
The March 30 LSAT in the United States and Canada is currently scheduled to proceed as planned, although the situation could change depending on updates and guidance from local or national health authorities. Similarly, the international LSAT administrations in late March are scheduled to proceed as planned, except for South Korea, Thailand, Japan, Hong Kong, and China, where we had to cancel due to the Coronavirus situation. Should it become necessary to close or move any additional test centers, we will communicate directly with affected candidates and work to reschedule them to another date.
Given the uncertainties around the Coronavirus outbreak, we are extending the date change deadline and waiving date change fees for the March LSAT. Any test taker currently registered for the March 2020 LSAT may switch to the April 2020, June 2020, or July 2020 test by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time, on Friday, March 20, at no additional charge. We are communicating this new date-change policy directly to all March registrants and encourage you to share it with your students you advise as well.
We also have revised our test day rules in response to the Coronavirus situation, to allow test takers to wear nose and mouth masks and to bring hand sanitizer, if they wish.
For more information about these policy changes, or any other Coronavirus issues, please refer to our Coronavirus resource page.
We will continue to monitor the Coronavirus situation closely and take appropriate actions in accordance with the guidance of public health authorities to ensure the health and well-being of test takers and to provide every opportunity for students to complete their law school admission journeys. Please let us know if you have any questions, and thank you for the invaluable support you provide to students and candidates during such a challenging time.
Announcement from LSAC:
More details:
LSAC will release the date of the May LSAT-Flex test by April 17
April 16 Update:
April 23 Update:
LSAC announced that for first time takers, you can purchase the option to see your score before deciding whether you want to cancel.
Full text of announcement:
In response to requests and feedback from test takers, we have created a new score preview option for first-time test takers who wish to see their score before deciding whether or not to keep it as part of their LSAC transcript and report it to schools. Score preview will cost $45 for candidates who sign up prior to the first day of testing for a given test administration, or candidates may sign up during a specified time period after testing has concluded for $75. First-time test takers who sign up for score preview will receive their scores at the same time other test takers receive theirs, (assuming they have completed their LSAT Writing and have no holds on their accounts), and will have six (6) calendar days to decide if they want to cancel or keep their score. If they take no action their scores will be added to their LSAC file and released to schools at the end of the six-day period. This feature will be available for purchase starting around August 1.
Note: First-time test takers who have an approved LSAT fee waiver will receive score preview free of charge. In 2019, LSAC approved 7,939 candidates for fee waivers. Because there were 71,515 first-time test takers in the 2019-2020 testing cycle, that means 11.1% of those first time test takers would have automatically received the free score preview.
You can learn more about the score preview option at our website: https://www.lsac.org/lsat/taking-lsat/lsat-scoring/about-score-preview
Announcement from LSAC:
More information about the score preview option can be found here.
Two months ago, I announced that we're collaborating with law professors around the country to develop new courses that will explain the subjects you'll take as a first-year law student.
Although we're still adding new content at a rapid rate, we're opening enrollment to our Property Law Explained course for one week, from Monday, April 20 to Sunday, April 27 at a discounted price of $19.99.
The course is still in progress. We’ve already completed over a dozen video lessons and over six hours of audio lessons, and we’re working around the clock to add more. New lessons will automatically appear in your course as we finish them. We expect to complete the entire course in July or August.
Here are the two reasons that we're opening enrollment early:
I know a lot of you might not be ready to divert your attention from the LSAT, so rolled into this launch is an extra-long access time of 24 months. This way, you can be reasonably sure that you’ll still get to use the course when you’re ready for it, and that it will be complete by the time you do.
Recap:
[**Enroll here**](https://classic.7sage.com/lawschool/pricing/)
After April 27, enrollment will be closed until we complete more content.
Hi everyone,
As we recently announced, we've created lessons to explain law courses you’ll take in your 1L year. As part of that effort, we also want to teach you how to write a law school exam.
Law school exams truly are unlike any exams you’ve written in undergrad. That in and of itself is daunting enough. They also happen to account for the entirety of your 1L grades.
Therefore, if your 1L grades are important to you, it’s important that you become acquainted with how to write good exams.
So, we’re giving every student enrolled in an LSAT or Admissions course the opportunity to take part in a mock Crim Law exam. We don’t want your very first experience with writing an exam to be one with so much riding on it. Rather, do a trial run with us and we’ll hold your hand. We’ve temporarily opened up some lessons normally available only to students enrolled in our Law School Explained courses.
If you want to take advantage of this opportunity, first listen to or watch some lectures (appx 2.5 hours), then read one case (appx 45 mins), and finally write an exam (2 hours).
“Waah, that’s a boatload of work!”
It sure is.
From the exams that we collect, we will select three, anonymize them, and offer detailed feedback.
The lessons, the exam, and the feedback will all be provided by Prof. Daniel Epps of Washington University in St. Louis School of Law.
If your essay is selected for review, you’ll be receiving personalized feedback on how to improve your writing. The catch is that the feedback will become part of the course to benefit other students as well.
If you submit an essay and we do not select it for review, you’ll still gain free access to the critiques of the three essays that we do select. This will enable you to compare your own exams to see where you can do better. Normally, those lessons would be only available to students enrolled in our Law School Explained courses.
If you’re concerned about the odds of your essay being selected, I’d direct your attention to the quote above. Because we’ve setup the process to be time consuming and demanding, I don’t expect that we’ll get too many responses. This mimics what you’ll quickly come to expect as normal once you’re in law school. It also has the additional effect of filtering for only the original gunners.
If that’s you, then I wish you good luck.
You may begin here.
Deadline for completion is October 31.
7Sage Course Changes
Beginning on March 29th, our Starter, Premium, and Ultimate courses will no longer be available for purchase.
Instead, we will offer two subscription Ultimate+ options.
The first option is USD $69/month.
The second option is USD $599 for one year (12 months).
Both options are equivalent to the current Ultimate+ course in terms of content access. That means every single PrepTest, the entire Question Bank and Problem Set generator, all the video explanations, etc. In a word: everything. As new PrepTests get released and explanations made, they will be automatically added to your account.
But...
LSAC Changes
In order to use either option, you must have an active LSAC Prep Plus subscription from LSAC which they launched yesterday and for which they charge $99/year. You might have already heard about this from these two posts on reddit.com/r/lsat.
What wasn't mentioned is the fact that with the launch of LSAC Prep Plus, every student who wants to use a prep course that uses real LSAT questions must have an active LSAC Prep Plus subscription. That includes us, 7Sage, and any other LSAT prep course that uses real LSAT questions.
Again, this means that in order to purchase our course once the change takes effect on March 29th, you must have an active LSAC Prep Plus subscription ($99/year). For example, enrolling in our courses will cost:
Option 1: USD $69/month + $99/year for LSAC Prep Plus
Option 2: USD $599/year + $99/year for LSAC Prep Plus
Note that you only need one LSAC Prep Plus subscription no matter how many prep courses you use. That means that if you use prep courses from multiple companies, you don't need to purchase multiple LSAC Prep Plus accounts. You can use the same one. But, and I'm repeating myself, if you want to use any prep course that uses real LSAT questions, you must sign up for LSAC Prep Plus.
Grandfathered Courses
Students who get or already have a Starter, Premium, Ultimate, Ultimate+ course before March 29th will be grandfathered into the course they currently have. In short, this means that these changes do not affect you as long as your grandfathered course is active. You will still have the option to extend at the current rate.
For example, if your Premium course expires on July 1, then you will continue to have access to your Premium course until it expires on July 1. Or you can extend it. You will not need to purchase an LSAC Prep Plus subscription. Again, in short, you won't be affected by these changes. You can stop reading here.
The longer version is that for some but not all of the grandfathered courses, an LSAC Prep Plus subscription will actually be needed. But, if this applies to you, you won't need to pay the $99 fee. We will cover it for you. Obviously, we don't want to incur this fee, but we also don't want you to incur it either.
Questions
These are big changes and you probably have questions. Please ask. We'll collect your questions and answer with an update in a FAQ in a week.
FAQ Update
Question 1:
For grandfathered accounts, what extension options are available?
Answer 1:
Right now extensions are available for 1 month at a time only for $25/month. Soon, we will make them available for 1, 2, or 3 months at a time at $25/month. There will not be an option for automatic subscription for grandfathered accounts. If you wish to keep your grandfathered account active, you must manually extend before the account expires. Once the account expires, it will be gone and cannot be reactivated.
Question 2:
Can I enroll in the new Ultimate+ course (monthly or 12-months) right now or before March 29?
Answer 2:
Likely yes but our system is not yet ready. The planned transition date is March 29. If we can get it ready before then, we will let you know here.
Question 3:
Say it's May and I have a grandfathered account. I know that means I won't have to pay for LSAT Prep Plus ($99) but you said I "might be required to have one anyway." How will I be contacted if that applies to me and what will I need to do?
Answer 3:
If this applies to you then you will receive an invite email from LSAC saying that you have a subscription already. You just have to login to LSAC to accept it.
Question 4:
Currently, Starter, Premium, and Ultimate courses can upgrade and purchase new PrepTests as addons as they are released. After March 29, will this still be possible?
Answer 4:
Sorry, no. After March 29, there will no longer be any upgrades or purchase additional PrepTests addon options. Grandfathered S/P/U accounts (i.e. S/P/U accounts purchased before March 29) will only have the option to extend their existing account (see Question 1) or the option to enroll in the new Ultimate+ options.
Question 5:
Is it a better deal to purchase Ultimate+ now and get a grandfathered account or wait? It seems like it's a better deal to wait since it will be $50 cheaper ($599 + $99 LSAC Prep Plus) = $698 versus right now it's $749.
Answer 5:
It depends. The content and access time for both are the same. The costs are not.
Ultimate+ now is $749 with $25/month extension option.
Ultimate+ after March 29th is $599 + $99 LSAC PrepPlus for the first 12 month = $698. If you need to go over 12 months, you can extend at $69/month but you also need to repurchase LSAC PrepPlus for $99 again because it's an annual subscription.
So, if you're planning to study for 12 months or less, then probably waiting is the better deal. If you're planning to study for more than 12 months, probably getting a Ultimate+ now is the better deal.
For example, assume study time of 15 months.
Ultimate+ now is $749 + 3x$25 (3 month extension) = $824
Ultimate+ after March 29 = $599 + $99 (LSAC Prep Plus year 1) + 3x$69 (3 month extension) + $99 (LSAC Prep Plus year 2) = $1,004

As I've already said, your fee waiver account on classic 7Sage (this site) is active. You paid $1 for access for 1 year. We haven't changed anything about that. We are continuing to support your current fee waiver account with no change.
The new site is not a continuation of the classic site. It is a separate site with its own fee waiver program. There is nothing unethical about that.
Our student service team already told you what steps you would need to take if you want to enroll in the fee waiver program on the new site. You are free to take those steps or not.
Please stop disparaging our reputation.
