A bit late here, but I just wanted to throw in my recommendation for Kurt Pitzer at 7Sage because I haven't seen him mentioned yet and his help was invaluable when it came to making my essays really shine. From giving me brainstorming prompts to get me out of my head and to start writing, to feedback about what was working and what wasn't both in terms of content and style, suggestions about what to cut to meet word/page limits for certain schools and still have a compelling essay, to general help proofreading, Kurt helped me ensure that I was weaving a consistent and compelling narrative across all of my essays and that they were as polished as possible.

It's impossible to know what part(s) of an application ultimately convince a school to admit a person, but I was admitted to a top law school that, based on my numbers, the 7Sage predictor said I had only about a 10% chance of being admitted to, as well as all of the other T14 schools to which I applied with generous scholarships. I am fairly certain that a major factor was the strength of the written portions of my applications, and I have Kurt to thank for helping me make those as compelling and polished as possible.

It goes without saying that Kurt is a talented writer and editor, but he's also just plain a joy to work with. He's personable, patient, and quick to respond. The style of writing one has to do for law school admissions is both very personal and something that most of us haven't really had to do in the past. I know that as someone who does a lot of formal/technical writing for a living, I really struggled to get into the right headspace and adopt the writing style for my personal statement, so it was a huge relief to work with someone who is so patient and encouraging. I really felt like he had my back every step of the way and I can't recommend Kurt highly enough!

Hi there,

I'm sorry about the issues you're having. Thanks for providing the information. We will look into it and get back to you.

In the meantime, please check to ensure that you're using the latest version of the 7Sage app (Version 2.1.3). Also, can you try deleting and reinstalling the 7Sage app?

Let me know if that works. Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestion to delete and reinstall the 7Sage app! I tried that and the highlight/underline function now works again! I also haven't seen the resizing/text wrap problem either. Granted, the text issues only plagued some of the questions (I don't remember exactly which) and I haven't had a chance to tackle a full PT-worth of LR questions since reinstalling the app, but so far so good! Thank you for your help!

Has anyone else had technical issues with the highlight function and text size/wrapping when taking PTs using the Digital Tester lately? The Digitial Tester used to work flawlessly for me, but about the time my iPad Air (3rd Gen.) updated to iOS13, I started having the following issues:

  • I can select the highlight and underline tools, but when I try to highlight/underline actual text, nothing happens.
  • The text for stimuli and and question stems/answer choices in LR often appear as different sizes regardless of what text size I've selected (e.g., extra small for stimulus but medium for stem/answers).
  • For longer answer choices, the last few words in a line will often wrap down to the next line and then back up repeatedly--this makes it very difficult to read.
  • For reference, I am using an iPad Air (3rd Gen.) running iOS 13.1.3. I've tried running the Tester on both Safari and Chrome, but it doesn't make a difference. Likewise, force refreshing and clearing the browser's cache didn't help either. Again, the Tester used to work flawlessly and the only thing I can really think of that might have changes on my end was a software update. Aside from that, I am completely stumped, so I am curious to know if anyone has found a work-around for this problem (aside from using another device).

    Are you sure?
