I started off reading the third paragraph on one of the RC passages bc my screen somehow shifted down when I clicked to the next passage🥴 threw my rhythm off
Are we allowed to use full screen (f11) on chrome during the FLEX test?
Thanks! I figured they wouldn't just post a projected score but wanted to be sure! Especially since normally people are emailed in advance of their score release.
I think when it says project score email date, it means it expects they will send out the email today, not that the score is only projected.

We are supposed to get our scores back today/now right? I haven't gotten an email or anything
I thought we were supposed to get an email too! I did see a score online under LSAT status on my LSAC account but it does say "projected score". Unsure if this is our actual score?

Check your LSAC account under LSAT status

@lilymdileo170 You can take the LSAT writing on the same page on LSAC where you check your scores. There are no live proctors during the writing part. They video record the entire session instead and there are instructions that ask you to show your surroundings to the camera much like the FLEX exam.
Oh okay! On the lawhub website?

Hi There,
I wrote the LSAT for the first time during the July exam and I feel like I completely froze. I barely feel like I even read any of the LR questions (my first section) as I couldn't take in any of the information and then panic that I had taken too much time reading, guess and then move on. Needless to say it did not go well. Does anyone have any suggestions surrounding this? I felt calm the morning of the exam but as soon as I logged on I felt like I couldn't read/ process. I am scheduled to take the August exam as it will be flex, however, I am worried it will be the same situation and that it will be a huge waste of time and money.
Thoughts?
Might just be first time jitters. How many PTs have you done? Did you get a good night's sleep? Takes a lot of work staying calm in situations like that to be honest.

I took the test on July 11th. I was connected to a proctor right away and had no problems with that whatsoever, which I was nervous about. I also had the LR - RC - LG sequence. I personally found RC particularly more challenging than any RC section I've practiced with. The LR was also pretty difficult, but I usually don't have time to finish LR sections since I am a really slow reader. LG was pretty easy compared to the other sections. I've signed up for August because I feel like I scored in the 140s thats how much I guessed :( Does anyone else feel discouraged ? I want to cancel my score but at this point I think that would hurt more than help. I also don't know where to do my LSAT writing? Does anyone know how it works and how they proctor you? Thank you!

Did anyone have a 27RC-26LR-23LG? Feeling a little embarassed about not remembering any of the topics tested... However, I do not recall any topics mentioned above, which appears a little strange to me. I just remember the structure of the last game, but I suppose it's not allowed to talk about exact structure.
I had this one I think.
RC topics: Housing laws, Invasive plant species, defendant's position in court.
LR: Can't think of any now.
LG: 4th game was about performances at a show.
I had the same topics as you for RC and LG (2nd game was crops in North/South fields and 3rd game was about furniture I think?) how did you feel about each section, especially LG?

had RC-LR-LG
RC hard for me couldnt be sure of most of my answers. brain dead and cant remember what they were about.... Anyone know if we need a writing sample to know the score on 7/30? I remember reading somewhere that it’s starting on August Flex that they revert back to the policy of needing a sample to disclose your score to you.
Did you have the following:
RC topics: Housing laws, Artist in 60s, defendant's physical position in court, Invasive plant species.
LG: 4th game was about scheduling performers for a show
I think I had the LG you mentioned, but dont really remember if I had your RC’s tho.
Just took the Flex, the order was LR LG RC.
LR: set with company price-fixing
LG
RC: Motown / species classification / stock market / software patent
Overall I had a really good experience with my proctor. I took the test within 20 minutes of the scheduled test time and there were no techical difficulties. LR was overall okay but I always get confused on like three or four so.. RC was fine too but the stock market passage (comp) was a bit confusing.

Yep! Pretty sure that's what I had. Well I still don't really remember what the exact topics of LG were, but comparing to all the other topics mentioned on this post, show performance sounds much more aligned with the question types I had, and the RC topics you mentioned sound exactly the same with mine. Thanks so much!

Just finished the test. I had: LG, RC, LR. LG was very easy, pretty straightforward sequencing games plus one difficult one (the cabinets). I had a lot of test anxiety and unfortunately panicked and my brain just stopped working though. So I'm kicking myself because I know the games were easy. RC had the section on jazz, made no sense. LR also talked about chimps, cooks, aide between municipalities. I did not find LR to be unreasonably difficult. I did not have enough time for both LG and RC.
I had technical issues 5 minutes before the end of LG. My proctor lost connection to my video (it was still recording me though -- and I live in the city with great wifi). I had to wait for about half an hour before I could resume the test. She transferred me to technical help and I had to reboot my computer. During this time I desperately wanted to finish my game board for the last game and make all possible inferences but I knew I was being filmed and didn't want to be accused of cheating. I started at 1:10PM EST and finished at 4PMEST.

Just got done w the international flex.
LR (26) - RC - LG
LR included questions about breast milk, mountain climbing??
RC was drilling for waste disposal, tricksters, plagiarism (comp; it was suuuper hard and I basically guessed all 7 questions), and civil vs. criminal law
LG: playing for concert? (jazz, orchestra, solo), morning afternoon and night shift was the last game
Overall LR felt fair, and LG on the easier side
w/ super hard RC for me.
Fellow intl' flex takers pls share your sentiments!!
that was my RC for the May Flex lol

Did anyone have to upload a photo to LSAC for the July LSAT Flex or is it done through the mirror test on your test day? I cannot find where to do it online for LSAC through my account.

Before the start of the test can I ask the proctor a procedural question?
Yes! I didn’t ask my proctor anything but I called LSAC before the test to ask them that question and they said you can, as long as it’s just procedural.
