Cambridge LSAT FYI

Hi Everyone!

Just a heads up. Got the below email from Cambridge LSAT regarding their LSAT content.

"You may have seen the announcement on our website, but just in case, please see the points below.
Our license to sell LSAT materials to the "general public" has been revoked, and as of August 15th, we will no longer be selling official PrepTest content in either digital form or paperback form. Should you have any questions about LSAC's digital content policy, please inquire with them directly.
We will continue to offer downloadable explanations for a broad range of PrepTests.
Our bookstore will remain open for purchase of mostly non-Cambridge paperbacks and Kindle eBooks.
We have a very limited number of the Ultimate LSAT Prep Package (paperback) bundle at a special discount. These won't last long!
Complete explanations for the Official LSAT PrepTest 75 (June 2015) are available for instant download.
It has been our pleasure providing high-quality downloadable materials over the past six years, and unfortunately, there wasn't a way to both satisfy LSAC's requirements and keep our downloads free from onerous restrictions. If you feel, like we do, that LSAC's digital policy is unnecessarily restrictive and harms students preparing for the test, please voice your disapproval. If enough students express discontent with the status quo, LSAC might reconsider its position.

Sincerely,
Cambridge LSAT"

TL;DR their license expires on August 15th so if you plan on using Cambridge for drilling and/or tests, plan to buy before then!

    Agreed, this warning is still up... Official LSAT content in both printed and downloadable form will only be available for a short time. If you need to purchase LSAT content, be sure to do so soon. Going forward, we will continue to offer downloadable explanations and mostly non-Cambridge books in our bookstore.

    @Snowball Thank you for posting about PT 76 being available for download! Every PDF is invaluable at this point and I hadn't checked their site lately:)

    Any idea how much longer these will be available?

    Nope apparently there is legal action taking place, so I'd get them while you can. I'm a big fan of the 5 section versions.

    For what it's worth, this same message was posted back in October, listing an expiration somewhere around December.

    Wait is this expiration in reference to purchasing PTs through Cambridge? I've never had a problem with buying/downloading from Cambridge, but guessing I should buy the few PTs I haven't bought already?

    This doesn't mean that 7Sage's explanations of questions will soon be given the axe, right?

    @nader.parham the CambridgeLSAT pdf's are gone for good. Looks like only paper versions of PT's from now on :-(

    @"Darth Jurist" We're fine with the LSAC. They wanted us to remove all the PDFs and we complied back in April of 2015.

    @"J. Y. Ping" Okay, good! That kind of scared me for a moment.
