7Sage Predictor (Latest data?)

Hi - does anyone know how updated the 7Sage Predictor is / how accurate it is?

I'm not asking for precision, e.g. whether it gets 20% predictions correct 20% of the time, but more of the relative trade-offs. I scored 3 pts lower on the October 2020 exam than my average, but it looks like if I take the January 2021 exam and apply in February 2021, hitting my average LSAT score is balanced out by applying later.

Following!! This might be already answered, but is there any difference between the 7sage algorithim/data and the mylsn one (https://mylsn.info/ijc1gt/)? Mylsn is way more generous in its probability rates than 7sage - taking both with a grain of salt, but want to know what the differences are in the two programs?

lsac has their own as well. I am not sure what all the differences are.

For what it's worth - ended up not retaking and went with the earlier applications. 7Sage seems to have predicted things reasonably well so far.

@akarjeker in hindsight that was decidely the better decision. I think those that applied early are the only ones who saw odds like those of the predictor. I know someone with a 180 and a good GPA that applied in November or December who has yet to get a single outright acceptance. Their PS was strong as well. In any other year that would give them about a 1/3rd chance at Yale and Stanford and better than 60% from Harvard on down. It's crazy out there. Glad you submitted early and I hope things work out for you.
