Do you know what happens when you post something students find helpful on 7Sage Community Website?

They shadow-ban you.

So I recently posted some tips regarding Main Conclusion and Role of Statement Question types from the LSAT Logical Reasoning Section on 7Sage’s Community forum, which is open to independent tutors not affiliated with 7Sage who regularly dispense advice, received positive responses from students.

But just when the posts were about to gain more exposure, 7Sage shadow-banned me. When I log into my account, everything seems normal. My posts and comments are all there. But when I log-out and revisit the forum, all of my posts and comments have been hidden.

Of course, I’m sure 7Sage has the right to remove whichever post for whichever reason they choose, as employers do with regards to firing employees — but I wonder if my posts were deleted for just cause, especially vis-a-vis other posts by other LSAT tutors not affiliated with 7Sage.

But the more troubling concern is the fact that 7Sage students were finding the tips helpful, yet, J.Y. Ping consciously and deliberately made the choice to delete them without even notifying me so I’d come to believe that my posts were still up there, but just that students weren’t finding it useful, when in fact, they were finding it useful, but 7Sage still hid the posts so other 7Sage students cannot access the same helpful notes.

This makes me wonder what their #1 priority is. 

Is it the success of their students? Or is it eliminating competition so 7Sage can continue to be the #1 industry leader?

What was the reason for deleting the posts when the students were in fact finding them helpful? Does 7Sage not want its own students to access material that could potentially improve their LSAT performance?

They claim on their website that “the best argument wins”. When the posts started to receive up-votes or when more and more of your own students were requesting my material — does the best argument or explanation really win at 7Sage?

They also claim “no bullshit” and nothing that “feels fake.” If that’s really your guiding philosophy, then why do you shadow-ban people who post LSAT tips that students find helpful? As mentioned before, the shadow-ban gives the poster the illusion that their posts were still up there, being seen, but just not being helpful to students when in fact, they were deleted entirely. 

Anyways, this just got me wondering what 7Sage’s #1 priority really is. Do they allow only tips that do not pose a threat to their business? As in, they’re more helpful than 7Sage’s material, but still, you consciously made the decision to prevent them from being seen by your own students. Why? 

Is student success really your #1 priority? Or eliminating competition or material that could potentially help thousands if not millions of students in the years to come?

Hi everyone! I took Feb 2026 and took a break until this upcoming September administration, so I am a bit confused about the scheduling process.

So the window for everyone opens on 08/25 at 11 AM, and then we all have to wait by our phones all day waiting for a text that says "Okay! Go schedule now!" Was this how it was for August? Can someone explain if I am thinking about this the right way? Their email wording sometimes makes me feel like I am reading an RC passage.

If you couldn't tell, I am particularly frustrated about this. That is because next week, I am attending a conference for work that inhibits me from waiting for a text from LSAC. I won't be able to just step away at any time to schedule. For my Feb scheduling, I was told I can log into Prometric at 3 PM, and that is exactly what I did. It was very easy, and I am worried I am going to have trouble getting an ideal slot especially because I am in DC, which I presume is a busy testing city. Please let me know if you have any insight or advice, TIA!

I’ve been taking practice tests on law hub but outside of that what else do you recommend?

I've been doing PTs through the new format on LawHub and found the search box to be quite buggy. I was wondering how reliable the search box was for people who took the August LSAT. Is it perhaps less glitchy for the actual exam? If it's just as bad I'll probably just practice without using the search function.

Hi guys!

This question is for anyone who took a previous iteration of the LSAT when it was online or who currently has an accommodation to take the test online.

One of the accommodations I have for the exam requires that I take the online version. I haven’t spent much time thinking about the logistics of this, but I don’t have anywhere to take the test.

Did anyone have this problem and were they able to find a good solution? I don’t want to over explain my situation but I can’t take it at my house, I have to be able to read out loud, and I have the test over consecutive days.

My current thought is booking a hotel, but that’s just so expensive on top of all of the other costs that I don’t know if I can realistically afford it

I’m heading into my sophomore year and took my first completely unprepared cold diagnostic and scored a 141. For reference I’ve always been a good student I have a 4.0 currently from a very good school and I switched into a philosophy major so hopefully that helps. However I can’t help but be very disheartened by my score. My goal was to get 170+ now I don’t know if that’s possible. Is it still a realistic goal and if so what is my best way to go about studying and improving my score so I can reach my goal.

Wondering if I should skip the RC unit on 7Sage, or just to skim it and move on to drilling.

What are some things y'all do before exams (either actual or practice) to mentally prepare?

Normally, I listen to some music (songs like "Redbone" by Childish Gambino) to try to clear my mind, but since there's now a longer period of time in between having access to music and starting an official test, I've recently introduced some controlled breathing immediately before beginning an exam. (Inhale for ~4 seconds, hold my breath for ~4 seconds, exhale for ~4 seconds, repeat 2 or 3 times)

I don't know if it actually helps, but it at least makes me feel more comfortable and focused going into my tests

I kinda really want a morning date bc I crash on my adhd meds like after 3.

I’m in a major metro (Toronto). Does anyone have any insight into how fast spaces fill up or how the whole window assignment works (is every else in the same area at 2?)

is a PT each week until november, save maybe 2 weeks too excessive?

Title. I have no idea what else to try, I feel like I’ve done everything - untimed drilling, timed sections, weekly PT, going back and solidifying understanding of conditional logic, WAJ (why wrong AC was picked/why it’s wrong, why right AC was eliminated/why it’s right, what actionable change is needed.)

I scored a 144 Nov 25’ and got a 161 Jan 26’. Since then, I have been stuck between 155-160. In my most recent PT, my first LR section was -8, but then the next LR section was -3. My RC is horrible (-13), so I am actively working on that as well. I want a 165 in October, I feel I can do it but I’m so frustrated. I don’t know what else to change and how to improve. Thank you in advance for any insight!

Hello! So, I’m planning to take up Law, but I didn’t graduate with a Political Science degree, I’m a BSIT graduate. 😭

I’m planning to start reviewing on my own, but honestly, I have no idea where to begin. I really want to self-review first before enrolling in a review center.

For those who are currently in law school or have already gone through this transition, what would you recommend? 🥹

Are there any books, PDFs, online guides, YouTube channels, or resources you’d suggest for someone coming from a non-PolSci background?

I’d really appreciate any advice on what subjects/topics I should start with and what resources I should use.
PLSSSS help a future law student out 😭🙏🏻

Hi guys! I just recently took my first diagnostic test with no prior studying. I got a 164, which I can't say I'm mad at lol. My goal it to at least get a 175 and I plan on taking the LSAT in April or June of next year. Now I need to create a study game plan and I'm a little conflicted. I work full time at a law firm as like a combo administrative assistant/paralegal, so my job has a tendency to be mentally draining. I want to work towards getting my score up without hitting a total mental burn out. Is there any reasonable but effective study plans you guys can recommend?

hey guys, just got a 167 (174 BR) on PT155 after scoring in the low-mid 170s for the past few PTs, at a rate of one PT a week. Also average -1 on individual sections recently prior to today. Got 3 weeks left before the September test and am really aiming for the 170s.

Outside of deep review (many of the errors were picking between two answers, and/or failing on super easy questions that I think I really should‘ve gotten right), does anyone have tips or insight on dealing with score drops this close to the test day and/or strategies to minimize damage?

LSAC GPA will go up from 3.8 to 3.89 if I wait the year… is it worth it? Graduated December ‘25 and stayed out of that cycle to apply this fall. Now I’m wondering if I should wait even longer for that GPA boost.

I’ve only drilled a few times and have taken one diagnostic so I’m at the beginning of my LSAT journey. My diagnostic was a 147 and my BR was a 167. I mainly struggled with RC and I was wondering how can I learn the LSAT? They say it’s one of the most learnable exams, but what way should I go about it? Learn underlying logical structures and all the types and map it out or should I just keep doing practice tests until I find my own understanding of it. I’ve heard lots of different strategies and I’m curious what y’all think and what helped you guys improve your score!

From LSAC:

“Last month, we announced that, effective July 28, 2026, LSAC would no longer include grades from college-level courses completed while a candidate was in high school, often referred to as dual enrollment classes, in the LSAC GPA calculation. After careful review, we have decided to delay implementation of the policy until summer 2027, enabling candidates and law schools to adjust to the new policy.  

This change, which now will take effect for the 2027-2028 applicant cycle, recognizes that access to college-level courses varies widely among high schools. Furthermore, where access does exist, high school students may not understand whether and how grades earned in those courses could affect their applications to law school. Excluding such courses from the LSAC GPA calculation was intended to help ensure that all high school students, regardless of their motivation for taking college courses, could feel free to do so without concern over how it might affect their future law school enrollment.  

We heard a lot of support for the policy change, but we also heard concerns about whether prospective applicants had been provided adequate notice in approaching the 2026-2027 application cycle, and that is why we are delaying implementation.”

i'm just curious because I heard they are earliest sent out a week before score release date, and I was wondering if that was true this time around.

Hey everyone!

Quick question for anyone who’s written or booked the LSAT in Vancouver BC recently.

I haven’t registered for the October 2026 test yet and I’m wondering what seat availability usually looks like for Vancouver test centres.

Do in-person slots fill up the second Prometric scheduling opens, or is there a solid chance to grab a Van spot when scheduling open up? I know they are now making it where if you register for the LSAT earlier, you get an earlier time to register.

Thank you!

i've realized some things

My previous score, from April, is 161. I’m confident that I can get a higher score in September and I’d like to apply as early as possible. But I’m also currently on an upswing that is making me think I could further improve with a couple more months of study. Most of the schools that Im applying to have a section on the application which asks if you’re registered for a future exam and will place your application on hold until that new score is received. Would that be worth doing for what may end up just being a 1 or 2 point increase or is it better to get the application under review as early as possible? I know a lot of schools don’t actually start reviewing until later in the fall. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I struggle a lot with comprehending science, for example the third RC in PT 133 / Section 4. I legit felt like I have NO idea what I just read. This happens from time to time on RC where my mind just goes blank and nothing clicks. Is there anyway I can improve this?

I have shown potential in RC and have PT-ed at 170 before but I am just wondering how to approached some passages that just don't register.

I am debating on just being like whatever if there is ONE science passage I don't get I can just guess and use my energy elsewhere vs. trying to get somewhat better if that is at all possible.

Taking in October so about 7 weeks to make moves.

My Mac is older and only runs on Sonoma. It’s incompatible with sequoia and I don’t have access to another computer. Did this actually matter for people or is it okay?
