Here's what I sent to the lsat feedback form here (https://www.lsac.org/send-us-your-feedback) regarding the interface coming up. I just had to spend a full fucking minute looking for "second-to-last sentence of the second paragraph of passage A, second-to-last sentence of the first paragraph of passage B" with no highlights before I even got to finish reading the rest of the question. The August test takers will undoubtedly have a disadvantage compared to everyone who already have their scores with this bullshit.

I am writing again regarding the new LSAT interface, particularly in light of the additional changes that have now been implemented.

RC line citations are no longer automatically highlighted. Masking mode resets between questions. Selected answers cannot be deselected or eliminated without additional steps. Eliminated answers must be unmasked before they can be selected. Highlighting and answer elimination have both become more cumbersome.

You have already told me that some of these changes are simply due to "the underlying structure of the new test driver platform." I find that response deeply unsatisfactory. LSAC charges students hundreds of dollars to take this exam and generates substantial revenue from LawHub and related services. If LSAC genuinely wanted to provide the best possible testing experience, "the platform is structured this way" would not be an acceptable excuse for repeatedly introducing unnecessary friction into a high-stakes examination.

LSAC frequently presents itself as an organization committed to advancing access to legal education and maintaining the integrity of the law school admissions process. If you truly believe in that mission, then you should be deeply concerned about introducing changes that make the exam more difficult to navigate, particularly just weeks before an administration, while asking students who have spent months preparing to simply adapt.

The LSAT is supposed to measure reasoning ability. It should not measure how effectively a test taker can compensate for an increasingly cumbersome interface.

You have the resources to do better. The old user interface was infinitely better than this joke of a design. I would encourage LSAC to seriously reconsider whether these limitations should have been accepted in the first place.

You owe test takers more than "that's how the new platform works." You owe us an examination experience that is fair, accessible, and worthy of the organization you claim to be.

UPDATE: I got a reply

"Thank you for contacting LSAC and providing feedback on our new LawHub interface.  

Unfortunately, since we released the preview of the new user interface in March, we have made several changes in response to user feedback and updated some features. However, some of these features cannot be changed due to the structure of the new platform.  

We encourage you to continue taking practice tests in LawHub to become familiar with the new interface. Should you encounter any technical difficulties, please contact us with a description of the issue and any screenshots so we can review and correct any issues.  

Please contact us if you have any additional questions and we will be happy to assist.

TLDR: we know its shit, sucks to suck lmao.

I sincerely hope the ongoing Risner vs LSAC case bankrupts every single one of them.

But, my LSAT brothers and sisters, we must stay focused as we can only play the hand that we have been dealt. I believe every person who has committed to studying on this platform has all the means to succeed on this test in spite of whatever bullshit they throw at us. LSAT, democrat, bureaucrat, IT DONT MATTER, 175!!!!!!!

I feel like I am almost there with the LSAT. I had a few months where I was getting -8/-10 on RC sections and then I really honed in on LR and am sitting at a -14/-15. I dont know what I am doing wrong - I try to read for structure but have a hard time grasping on content without getting super bogged down in detail.

What are some things people did that seriously changed their RC. I tried Bailey's method with highlight but then got WAY to focused on highlighting (and its super time consuming with the new interface update)

Please help me! I rescheduled my August LSAT to September - anythings helps

◡̈ Thanks

We ain't never getting 173+

I work full time and have a really long commute. I really would love to have the ability to listen or have some type of content/drills that are audio only.

I'd love to listen to lessons without 1) having to keep the screen on/not locked and 2) having to click the next button/ pause/play buttons after every explanation video.

I've tried LSAT audiobooks on Spotify but they suck and they have an entirely separate section for the answers. I end up just listening to 7 Sage podcast but I am pretty sure I have listened to all of them at this point..lol. And sometimes I just want to drill questions casually and see if my intuition/ paraphrasing is right when I hear the stimulus for the first time.

Anyone else in the same boat??

I've been thinking of a 7Sage feature I'd love to see: A graph that charts your drilling accuracy by tag and across time. So, for example, you could click on Analytics > Priorities and then select Phenom-Hypotheses (and other tags) and see that in May you had 62% accuracy for that specific tag and then in July you had 70%, along with a line graph to visually chart them. It would be similar to how you can see the Score Progress graph for the PT equivalent score, but more drilled down. I just made some recent progress and I'd like to be able to see how long it took to move the needle on different question types. Thanks!

Hi! I'm based in Hong Kong and planning to take the October LSAT, whilst preparing to apply early to schools. As an international, the whole US law schools + LSAT process seems super intimidating. I was wondering if there was anyone out there with a situation similar to mine, looking for an acquaintance or a study buddy? Cheers!

✅ Fully resolved (as of 12:40pm ET, Tuesday July 21): We pushed through a hotfix and we're getting reports that all issues are resolved.

********OP Below*********

If your digital tester is still acting up, please join me in the Tutor Office Hour study room and I'll help you troubleshoot live there.

Update: two students were able to resolve these issues by clicking refresh on the browser.

We rolled back the unintentional changes as of 4am ET Tuesday morning July 21. So everything should be back to normal.

However, some students are continuing to report issues. See comment below.

Hello, hope this question is in the correct spot. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. I just finished the foundations, LR, and RC section blocks up this morning, and next up is the practice blocks. Before I proceed to the practice blocks, should I take a timed PrepTest to compare to my first, cold PrepTest that I took before I started studying to get a baseline? Or is taking a PrepTest now not worth it and I just need to continue on to the Practice blocks? I know there are prep tests in the practice blocks, but thought it might be helpful to get a benchmark now before practice. Thanks in advance!

Currently when I’m taking timed practice tests, I’m getting so many questions wrong. But when I blind review it’s obvious what the correct answers are and my BR jump is about 10+. I feel like I understand the questions and know the right answers but when I’m under timed pressure I do terrible. Does anyone have any advice or tips to help with this?

Question - has anyone else found that they score better when they don't spend time making any notes during RC and save more time for answering questions?

I've noticed this and just was curious if others have as well and also just to share this in case anyone else like me was struggling with making time on RC.

this is more of an aesthetics preference maybe, but it would be nice to see where i am in in my lessons with an indicator on this time line:

like a different colored dot (or other shape) to represent my current position so i can see it without having to click on the lessons or flip through lessons so i can find how close i am to the next chunk of studies/practice

Hi alll - scoring in the mid 160s and looking for a study partner! FaceTime or in the LA area :)

✅ Resolved (as of 4am ET, Tuesday July 21): We rolled back the tester to its previous state and all issues below are now fixed. If you're still seeing problems, please comment. Original post preserved below for reference.

You might need to refresh your browser or log out and back in or clear your browser's history to see the changes take effect.

Hey everyone, I want to address a few issues you may have experienced with the digital tester today. I'm sorry these are cropping up, especially this close to the August test. We're aware of them and working through them as quickly as we can.

1. Text size looks too small

When we shipped a recent update, we accidentally set the default font size to 100% instead of 125%. LawHub's default is actually 125%, and we mistakenly assumed it was 100%. That's the cause, but it's still our error, and we're hot-fixing it now. I don't expect it to take more than a couple of hours.

If it's not yet fixed when you see this, you can restore the size yourself: click the triple-dot button, go to Appearance and Accessibility, and change the font size to Large.

2. Can't click/select answers

If you're running into this issue, try these in order:

1. Change the font size (per the steps above). Several students have reported this alone fixes it.

2. Log out of 7Sage and log back in.

3. Clear your browser cache (go to History and clear it), then log back into 7Sage.

3. Accessibility button does the wrong thing

Right now that button toggles dark/light mode, which isn't what it's supposed to do. It should open a panel to change font size, zoom, spacing, colors, etc. We have an issue open for this, and I expect the fix within about 24 hours.

Thank you all for your patience and understanding while we get these sorted.

Hey guys im looking for a study buddy/buddies that have a lot of free time or is able to study at least 5 days a week even if its an hour virtually. Im a teacher so Im on break & I am in study group (if anyone wants to join) but im also able to study at anytime so im looking for someone willing to lock in with me to break 170s🥲🤞im in 165s

Hi everyone! I was wondering if anyone has any advice for staying focused while drilling and studying. I find that I get mentally and physically tired (like my eyes literally want to shut lol) much faster when I’m studying for the LSAT than I do during other activities, and it makes it hard to stay engaged for long periods of time.

Has anyone found strategies that helped improve their focus or build their study stamina over time? Whether it’s changes to your study routine, break schedules, or anything else that worked for you, I’d really appreciate hearing what helped. Thank you!

I took PT 148 Section 3 and got 3 wrong. Is this a fluke should i trust my score? lol

I was wondering since its the experimental section if i should ignore the score.

Hello! I'd love to meet fellow LSAT grinders living in Ottawa.

I'm doing my undergrad in the University of Ottawa but am attending law school in the US.

Say hi!

Hi everyone! 😊 I just posted this in the general LSAT discussion but realized there’s a study group, so I figured I’d post here too.

Is anyone interested in a study buddy? I’m hoping to find someone scoring around the low 160s so we’re at a similar place. I’ve found that talking through questions out loud really helps me process them, and I’d love to practice with someone who’s at a similar stage and work through questions together.

I’m happy to meet over Zoom, and I live in Los Angeles, so if anyone is local and would rather meet in person, I’d be up for that too. If there are a few people in the LA area interested, maybe we could even start a study group!

Feeling very discouraged, defeated, and frustrated as LSAC changed the look of the interface AGAIN... 2 weeks before test day! Why is the text so incredibly tiny now?

I honestly feel like August test takers should be able to reschedule to September for FREE, and we should be able to sue them (to bad they force us to sign that we won't sue for us to even be able to take the test).

I know I am not alone in this frustration but changing it again two weeks before the August test days is actually mental. I feel like everytme I finally get used to a change they just pile more on. On top of that I was finally starting to score closer to my goal, and I feel the interface changes really screwed up my timing and momentum.

I wish everyone else luck on the August LSAT.

I am struggling with a particular question and it would be very helpful to see this question being gone over in a class. JY's explanation just isn't clicking for some reason.

I would love a filter on the Recorded Classes page to search for a particular question. A link on the question page to the Recorded Classes where the question was gone over would also be helpful.

(the question is PT132.S4.Q18, if you can direct me to a Class that had this question haha)

I studied for freshman, sophomore, and (now) senior year at a US undergraduate college which does not take into account study abroad grades on my transcript - they are just recorded P/F.

I spent my sophomore year abroad - fall through a direct abroad university, and spring through another US college, one of the CUNYs in New York, where I received a few A+ . Will my CUNY grades be counted into my LSAC GPA since it is a US institution if I also submit that transcript?

hi everyone! i'm looking for a study partner/group to call and work independently to hold each other accountable :)

i've found it hard to focus by myself and work best when other people are, but it's just not realistic for me to drag myself to cafes/libraries after work every day. i know other people are in the same boat especially with work etc so would love to connect and help each other!

i work full-time and am based in california, so i'd be aiming for calls 6pm or later on weekdays! if this is something people are interested in please comment, dm, or join the group! i'm thinking more a cafe/lounge study vibe where we do our own work and maybe chat a bit before/after but would be open to taking the same set & talking through them after too.

Has anyone else had this issue? I feel like the more I study, the worse I do at the first attempt, but I do really well on the BR. How do I fix this? I'm supposed to take the August LSAT and am panicking a little bit.

Is anyone else confused, the email I recieved a week ago says it opens at 11:00am today then a link I click in LSAC says 11:00pm. Then my LSAT page does not say a time?
