Update: the changes below are live!

******************************************

We're shipping an update to the Digital Tester this week. The goal is to make practice look and feel more like test day. Here's what's changing.

• Narrower width, full height

  • The tester will be slightly narrower and run at close to full screen height. This will match the reported proportions of the real thing more closely. You'll still see your browser window and menu bar at the top, but otherwise the dimensions are close to what you'll see on test day.

• The full screen button in the toolbar will be gone

  • LawHub removed its full screen button, so we will remove ours. Since the tester will now size close to full screen by default, you shouldn't need it. If you want true full screen, use the three dot menu on the top right.

• Updated toolbar icons

  • Toolbar symbols will match LawHub's. The most noticeable change is answer elimination (also called response masking), which will use an "a" with a slash through it.

• Blind Review and Review testers restyled

  • Blind Review was stuck on the old tester style. It will match the current tester, as will the review interface. You'll see consistent styling across the tester, the Blind Review tester, and the Review tester.

• One deliberate deviation: font size persists, unlike LawHub

  • On LawHub, your font size selection does not carry over from section to section. You have to reset it at the start of every single section of a PT. We're not copying that. On 7Sage, your font size choice will stick.

  • We don't think LawHub's behavior here is intentional. Color and line height settings both persist. Font size is the odd one out, which looks like a bug. We've flagged it to LSAC and asked them to fix it. We'll let you know if they do. Or if this is actually intentional on their part.

I wanted to request that the "date first taken" filter be modified so that you can more easily filter for questions that you have not attempted in a long time, e.g., perhaps adding an indicator of how many days ago you last attempted a question (presumably a variant of the "most recent" filter could accomplish this as well). As someone who has drilled a lot of questions throughout my LSAT studying process and only drills a certain subset of the material (questions of a specific type of a certain difficulty level, as per my analytics), it would be great to be able to more easily discern material that I have not encountered in a while. Thank you!

Hi! I was wondering if anyone had any out of the box tips for improving flaw questions. I drill these a LOT, and are familiar with how to answer/common flaw types, but seem to still miss a lot when putting them into context. If anyone has any specific advice thats helped them, let me know!

After studying since last October, I have finally broke into the 170s. Going to take the September LSAT and feeling super pumped!!

How much weight do Law Schools put towards the Argumentative writing sample. I submitted one this past October when I took the LSAT. I took the August LSAT and I am debating id I should submit another Argumentative writing sample.

Hi everyone!

I'm going to be abroad in China for a couple weeks before my LSAT. Does anyone have experience using 7Sage in China or know if I need a VPN to access it?

Thanks

I’m a splitter (3.82, 175, urm) aiming for t14. The consulting id rather expensive, and I wanted to source some reviews before I took the plunge.

Hello! I just got approved for the August retest exam, but I am having some conflicting feelings about it.

Has anyone taken a retest in-person before? Did it go smoothly and just the same as the real test day? Did the exam feel comparatively similar to the original test?

It was my first time testing in person, and I was definitely really nervous but felt relatively confident for most of the exam. For context, I am also scheduled for September and am aiming for a 174. I don't think that I got 170+ on August, but I am a bit anxious about having a worse experience on the retest day that will either shoot my confidence for September or make me regret my decision. I'm also a bit nervous because the closest location that the retest will be administered is at a different Prometric location that is slightly further away (and has awful Google reviews...).

I would really appreciate any insight on those who have had in-person retesting done! I know the test probably won't necessarily be harder or unfair, and that this could be a really great chance for me to take the exam under better circumstances! But any and all thoughts about retesting are welcome.

Does having three (good) vs two (good) letters of rec really change your chances of admission? I currently have one professor and one professional mentor. I don’t know that I will be able to get a second professor- does it really matter?

Also edit** I’ve been out of school and working full time for over a year and a half now

So I currently am doing really good on the mini drill sets that I take when I am studying and just practicing problems, typically getting a 100% or 1 wrong. However when I go to take a PT I feel like all that progress just goes away because I will get like 5 wrong in a row, and for some reason just can not seem to sit there and focus when I see I have 20+ questions left versus maybe 10. Does anyone have advice on where I can improve for the September test, which is so soon and I am so worried?

Are perscriptive answers always wrong on Necessary Assumption questions? I am trying to figure out if that is something I can just retain and eliminate that answer choice every time

Any tips on how to effectively review RC wrong answers?

I am looking to raise my LSAT score about 15 points. I am currently in the 147ish range and looking to score in the 160s on the October test. I feel like I am doing the repetition and putting in the hours, but I am having trouble truly learning from mistakes. I feel like I am getting stuck at a point where I know what I know well, but its hard getting the stuff I don't know well to a higher level. With the October test date quickly approaching any advice to level up studying or unlock parts of my brain are appreciated. I know I'm not competitive for my dream school without a 160.

- A girl with a Sad LSAT Score

I’ve been studying since late May and I’m planing on taking the September LSat. I study for most of the day, 4-6 hours 5-6 days a week, and meet with a tutor twice a week. I take a pt every 2 weeks. My first 3 pts were really encouraging because I’ve gone up about 10ish points overall, about 5 points between each pt. But my last 3 pts I’ve hit a platuea all in the high 150s. No matter what method I try, ones my tutor gave, ai, once’s a read online, from friends nothing will increase my score under timed conditions. Everyone said br indicates your real capabilities, and I BR in the low to mid 170s every time. This month long plateau is super discouraging. With all the study and tutor help I get, I didn’t see how else I can increase my score. Does anyone have any tips to close the gap bc I’d hate to apply to law school with a high 150 if I’m capable of getting in the 170s. Am I capable of closing this gap in one month, or should I postpone the test? Or is postponing just postponing the inevitable and I should just accept my score as it is? Please looking for any suggestions!

Hi everyone, I have been studying for the LSAT for a little over a year now yes crazy but the most solid has been this summer. My last LSAT exam was back in January and I scored a 141. I have been studying and recently took a PT got a 143 but with blind review I got a 151. My goal is to get a 160. I have a good grasp on the basic concepts how to spot different types of flaws; my accuracy on level 1-2 question types is pretty good but once I get to 4-5 sometimes 3 it gets rough. I have been studying for so long don't want to rush the exam but also ready to be done! All in all I don't know if I should change to October rather than September. I know my score sucks but we will get there.

I am currently on the Live plan, but I prefer to watch the videos when they are recorded and uploaded so that I can pause, fast forward etc. What's cramping my flow is the lack of a way to keep track of what videos I've watched. It's the worst to settle in for a class video recording and then halfway through the 2nd problem you realize that you've already watched this class.

I'm shocked there's no playlist feature, no "Seen" tag? The bookmark feature is bare minimum tbh.

I'm also realizing that more recent classes tend to not be tagged by Question Stem and Stimulus Logic type any longer? Which is a shame because that's a great way to be able to sort through available content.

I took the August exam, and deep down, I feel like I might not have done as well as I wanted to. How much time off should I take before I start studying again? and what should I try when I'm studying for this time that might've worked for you guys?

I just discovered there is an option to filter to the best comments in the discussions tab for questions...one of the best features on here! It gives me both reassurance and joy to know that I was not the only one tweaking out over a question. Kudos 7sage!

I FINALLY broke into the 160s after about 3 months of consistent studying. For context I started at a 152 on my diagnostic, so this feels huge. My official test date is still months away, which means a 174 might actually be within reach now (wild to even type that).

Also gotta brag for a second, none of my sections had double-digit wrong answers this time. (when I took my first PT I missed 12 QUESTIONS in just one LR section lol). Progress is progress!

Hii! I’m in Houston, TX (inner city area) I’m brand new to studying for my LSAT and attempting to taking it in OCT 2026! If anyone is interested in studying together, I’d like to meet and go through this together.

I have been struggling with RC (around -11 on average) which is significantly worse than my LR (around -3/5). I've tried doing everything including front-loading, changed pacing, focused on answer evaluation, untimed practice, 10-minute passages, 9-minute passages, focused on big picture questions while reading, etc. Is there I should do to improve answer deliberation on passages? Most of my wrong answers are on implied/inference questions or strengthen/weaken based on the passage. I have also done focused practice targeting these question types. My RC blind reviews are around -5/6. I'm hoping to get my timed to be around my untimed/BR score. Appreciate all the advice!

Unfortunately I think I will be pushing out my applications to next cycle. I have already reached out to my references for my letters. Is this something I can still upload to LSAC and will they still be valid for next cycle? Or is it best to wait until next year.

Hi! I am in the process of writing my personal statement for law schools this fall. I am thinking of hooking the intro with a personal anecdote from my time in Mock Trial (specifically making a joke about waking up at 4AM for a tournament, memorizing my opening statements, and laughing with my co-counsel about the silly cases) and then tying that into a broader reason for why I am interested in pursuing civil litigation.

I know many law school students have a background in mock trial/moot court, so I was wondering whether this approach would be "too common" for admissions counselors? Should I pick a more niche topic?

Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Has anyone done 144 recently and want to review it together? I plan to review my wrong questions tomorrow, 8/11 and want to go over it with someone so we both can learn

So I've been using 7SAGE for a few months, and I'd say I am nearly done with the lesson plan. Ill probably be a few days behind schedule regardless, but I'm estimated to finish it in the next 10-15 days if I can consistently do 4 hours a day.

Issue is that I feel like its really slow, and I am taking the LSAT in October/November. I've yet to really focus on drills, but I do try an untimed PT every week or so.

When should I start focusing on drills and timing? Rn I'm half way through LR on the lessons, so I could theoretically lock in heavy and grind out lessons, or I could begin to shift focus onto timing.

Just wanted to see what others have to say about their own time management for studying. How long have some of you been working purely on drills and PT timing? When might be a good time to rotate into that?
