A common request is to have the ability to hide the reason why a question is recommended for blind review (the tooltip that shows when you hover, telling you whether it was flagged, skipped, too slow, guessed, etc.).

We just shipped a new toggle for this. Go to Settings > Preferences, and you'll see an option to turn off the reason for the recommendation.

A couple of things to note:

  • This only hides the reason. You'll still see that a question is recommended for blind review, just not why.

  • This is different from turning off blind review recommendations entirely (that's a separate toggle).

Turn it off, and hovering over a recommended question won't reveal anything about why it was flagged. Turn it back on anytime if you want the reasons visible again.

Hope this helps those of you who prefer a cleaner review experience. Let us know what you think!

This question is HYPER-specific haha, but my room is filled with music equipment (heavy keyboard (2x), multiple amps, multiple microphones, electric and acoustic guitars, pedals, cables, DAW, etc.)

Am I going to have to move this equipment 🫠? I.e., would they likely flag me if I proceed as is?

Hi,

Today I experienced a visual bug with the new question UI. I attached a screenshot of the bug below. It's not the end of the world, just something annoying I ran into. Every question I've done today has had this bug. Has anyone else had this issue?

Hi all, I’m an international student and recently started doing timed LR drills, beginning with 10 questions in 11 minutes, and I’m having a really difficult time adjusting.

When I work untimed, I can usually understand the stimulus clearly and get almost all of the questions right. But once I turn on the timer, it feels like my reading comprehension suddenly gets much worse. Sometimes I have to reread the stimulus because I don’t fully process it the first time. Even when I do understand the stimulus, I often feel like I lose my ability to prephrase or use POE effectively. Answer choices that I would normally eliminate pretty easily suddenly all look plausible to me.

Because my performance drops so much under time pressure, I’ve also started getting anxious as soon as I begin a timed drill. Sometimes I want to quit the drill halfway through, and lately I’ve been feeling extremely mentally exhausted. I’ve even reached the point where seeing LSAT material can make me feel physically nauseous.

I tried taking breaks, but I also noticed that after taking several days off, I felt even rustier when I came back, so I’m not sure that simply taking more time off is the answer.

Has anyone experienced something similar when first transitioning from untimed work to timed drills? Is this a normal part of building speed, or does it suggest that I should go back and strengthen my fundamentals before continuing with timed practice? I’d especially appreciate advice on how to maintain stimulus comprehension, prephrasing, and POE under time pressure!

Hello everyone, I'm having a little trouble deciding how much to PT before the October test. I'm also taking the November test as well. I'm currently a full time college student, and I'm worried that if I take two PTs a week for the few weeks before each test I'll get mentally drained and will be unable to perform at my best. Has anyone else experienced this going into the test?

🙃 Confused

Font Change

Did anyone else just get a new font update? It's smaller and more sleek than before. Is this to match the format of the test?

Hi! I wasn't sure who to ask, so I figured I'd ask the 7Sage community since I've seen so many comments here that have been really helpful.

I took the official September LSAT for the first time a week and a half ago. I'm registered for the October test since I'm not sure how I did on the September one. I took a few days off after the test and have been studying about 3 hours a day for the past few days (I have a full-time job, so I've been studying from about 9 PM to midnight).

However, I found myself STRUGGLING to even process and retain LR stimuli. I'm getting confused by 2- and 3-star questions that I used to get right easily without even flagging them.

I was wondering why this might be happening, and more importantly, how I can overcome it. I have to say, my motivation has also been pretty low since the official test, and I've been forcing myself to study. This is different from when I was prepping for the September test, when I genuinely tried to enjoy solving LR questions.

Has anyone experienced something similar after taking the official LSAT? Any advice on how to get out of this slump would be greatly appreciated!

Hi! I’m looking for an LSAT tutor, preferably in the Seattle area for in-person sessions. I’m currently scoring around a 148 and have been struggling to consistently break into the 150s.

I have ADHD, so I’m especially interested in someone who has experience working with students with ADHD, particularly with comprehension, processing speed, and timing.

I’m planning to apply to law school next cycle and would like to start working with someone consistently. Please let me know if you think we might be a good fit. Thanks!

Just wondering if anyone else's interface seems squished down. Yesterday it was normal, and now my RC passages are just compressed. I don't know if it's something I did or if it's just a new 7sage format. Wouldn't necessarily say it's a problem; I just don't personally like it as much as what I had before. Does anyone know how to fix or is this just how it is now?

If y'all are taking the October LSAT (or around that time), I'm tryna make the 2011 Mavs of LSAT study groups where we beat this shitty test with the power of friendship. Slide through!!!

I submitted an accommodations request at the end of August, but haven't heard back. Anyone in the same boat?

Also, anyone with stop/start accommodations notice on LAWHUB that when you pause and then start you can't change answers you've crossed out?(ex: if I crossed out A, I can't select A ever) I called LSAC and they said they weren't fixing it by October exam or the retake, so if you have stop/start be careful!

Update: They emailed me later saying it would be fixed by October, but it still is happening on LAWHUB today. Haven't heard back on if it will for sure get fixed.

Has anyone else noticed a different format on the 7sage website while doing drills today? My drills seem to be stretched out more horizontally. Is this a deliberate change?

😖 Frustrated

Highlighting Tool

Im not sure if Im the only one who experiences this/has an issue but I noticed 7sage is the only LSAT studying website where I have to double click on highlight. First to select the tool, then select the words I want, and then press highlight again. And its even more struggle switching between the colors. It slows me down a lot.

I took the LSAT earlier this year and the highlighting was not that much of a hassle. Is there any plans about changing the tool to waste less time? This has been especially bothersome during timed sections for me.

do not force a pt.

outing myself to remind myself to not force a pt when i am not feeling it! after a pretty great week of drills, i was feeling kinda mid and its ok not to be feeling great sometimes! i had to physically drag myself thru this pt and knew while i was writing that I wasn't going to perform as expected....do not let the stress of an upcoming write force lazy work! i BRd a few hours lately and went -2, -4, -4, -3 respectively. sucked doing BR too bc i was gen like "damn what was i thinking the whole time". DO NOT FALL FOR THE TRAP

Just wondering if anyone had any resources or cheat sheets the like using to practice and reference general skills for LR. I was thinking like Conditional Logic and Logic of Sets i.e., things that are a little more generally applied.

Hey y'all! My name's Rishabh and I am an independent LSAT tutor taking on new clients for the November, January, and February test dates, or beyond. (If you're already deep into prep and just want a tune-up before October, feel free to reach out, but for anyone starting fresh, November onward is a realistic window.)

My story: My first LSAT score was a 159, and my second actually dropped to 157. I spent a long stretch stuck in the 160s after that, so I know firsthand how discouraging a plateau can feel. It took 5 attempts before I hit my final score of 172 in April, but I got there because I know it's possible to break through into the 170s comfortably with the right approach and enough time. I worked through 5,000+ practice questions and personally reviewed over 1,000 missed answers to pinpoint my weaknesses and make sure I wouldn't get the same question wrong twice, and I will bring this mentality and attention to detail to our sessions.

My approach: Sessions are methodical, patient, and (I promise) actually fun. I build a plan around where you specifically get stuck, not a one-size-fits-all curriculum. I broke through into the 170s using 7Sage's curriculum and tools and so I am intimately familiar with them.

Logistics: Sessions run over Google Meets (I'm on the west coast, so PST timezone from 8 AM to 8 PM during the week, more limited hours on the weekends). Sessions are $50/hour. (I am flexible and have a sliding scale available if cost is a barrier, just ask).

Free 30-minute consultation: If you're open, before committing to anything, let's talk through where you're at, what you're aiming for, and how I'd approach working with you. Book here: https://calendly.com/rishabh-raj-mail-2002/30min

DM me if you have any questions and/or are interested in working together!

Title is self explanatory!

I like to practice active reading directly on the notes while I am blind reviewing my RC, and I was wondering if we could have different colours of fonts. Red, green, blue sounds ideal to me, but at least if we could have the colour the analysis has(that pinkish colour), that would be great!

I want to compare how my analysis is to the explanation, and if the sentences were in different colours, it would be more easier to stand out!

Below is just me showing you how I am currently taking notes. I thought it would be great if my low-res summary is written in a different colour.

How does this sound like?

Hi there, I've been trying to take drills and preptests on 7Sage but I've been frequently noticing issues where the answer choices and highlighting and etc greys out sometimes or lags/freezes completely, and I have to refresh the page (and it sometimes leads me to an error).

I tried clearing my cookies and it seems to be working for now after I relogged in, but I noticed my timers got messed up as a result, and this has happened already a few times. Does anyone know what's causing this?

I find that the site sometimes fails to load and gives me a 504 error, and I'm concerned about what to do if this happens on the real test

Don’t Give Up

Hey guys I just wanted to showcase this small yet prominent victory. I’ve been heavily struggling over the past couple of days trying to get my accuracy up especially since I’ve been averaging a 30% - 40% everyday. And today, after completing my daily LR study block I was averaging 60% - 70% on the 10 question drills and I finally FINALLY got a 5/5. My exam is November 14th, currently I’m trying to get my accuracy at least 70%+ as I’m confident in my time capabilities, I scored a 144 on my first exam back in February. Currently finishing my last semester in my undergraduate college program and want to score at least a 156+ (target score a 160) to become a good applicant during this cycle. For anyone whose doubting themselves, or not seeing improvements keep working hard keep being patient and eventually you will break through. I try not to let it get to me, but these scores make or break my day and I’m very happy. Hoping to keep this accuracy up and to get my PT close to the 150’s. GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE YA’LL GOT THIS 🫶

To change/increase the text size, we must first start the test/drill/etc. then pause and navigate to the screen to update the text size. We must also do this for every test/drill. Is there a way to make this a permanent setting that we do not always have to change?

My 7Sage account is linked to my Google account. When I try logging into the app on my (i)phone, I don't see a way to log in and I'm assuming making a new account wouldn't link to my subscription and progress on this account. All suggestions are appreciated, thank you! :D

Hi all,

I had a general question about MSS particularly PT146.S2.Q15. I think in hindsight, you can get this right with process of elimination because all the wrong answers are too strong. I was also too fixed on thinking this answers was going to be related to fruits and vegetables but that's a separate issue. With MSS questions, its been my understanding that being too strong is not as bad or immediate grounds for dismissal as other questions like NA.

Of course you should always take a second and really think about the answers, but I feel like this has happened a bit more frequently for me with MSS questions, keeping answers that are too strong instead of eliminating them in hopes of getting the correct answer, so what's the middle ground?
