I got LR-RC-LG
RC is hard. Especially the black painting.
@caitygwin125 Congrats on your score, looks like you did well despite scoring lower than you did on your PT. I think running it by them might be a good idea, although I'm not sure if it's in their best interest to help you get the highest possible scholarship... I think I'll email some of the schools that I picked and ask how full are their classes already? I really don't know, as you see I myself am in the darkest of dark about it ;)
@antwan8 I'm going through the same thing. I score 13 points lower than my last practice test. I've been watching the data from my preferred schools and their early admissions pool is already stronger than the last 5 years combined. It's disheartening. My question is, do I apply with a lower score or do I wait? My current score already exceeds the 75th percentile for my top choice. I'm not worried about admission so much as I am about scholarships. I finally just emailed them. I don't know if that was a great idea or not, but they're obviously the best source of info on their own admissions process, right?
Hey Everyone. I"m just floored, scored 10+ points below my PTs. I'm embarrassed to admit it, but I'll say it anyway, maybe it will lift the the spirits of a few others: I got a 153.
I'm planning to take it again in January, but have doubts if it still a viable date for this admission cycle... I'm hearing stories about ppl already being admitted, receiving scholarship money, and I'm really psyching myself out. Any thoughts?
@diegomarimatibag408 had the exact same thing, very discouraging :(
I got a 166 on one of the Sunday tests- RC (value theory), LG (ethnic cuisine), and LR (geese). Previously got a 165 on the August/September test.
Like a lot of you here, I’m pretty bummed by my score. I thought I had finally hit 170+, which is where I was pt’ing before the November test.
But oh well. On to the January test.
10 points below a PT average across 20 tests, yet it felt just like any other test. Worst score since my diagnostic PT. I have no idea where I lost points or why my practice test averages are so misleading.
Does this happen to anyone else? I can usually predict my score after a practice test +/- about 2 points. Feels like the hundreds of hours I put into studying every practice test I could pay for were wasted.

I did ... worse than my average? I'm feeling super discouraged lol
I did way worse too I am also super discouraged and confused as fuck
I did so much worse than my average, far worse than you're supposed to do I feel so discouraged because I don't even know what to work on besides yes logic games but seems like I had to really fuck it all up to get a 152
I just want to say big thank you to 7sage. My diagnostic was a 141 and my LSAT journey is OVER after scoring a 162 on Nov Flex.
I started studying for the LSAT in June. Before I started I took a blind PT, and scored 140. In the months leading up to the October flex I studied full time and raised my average PT score to 165. Unfortunately, I took the LSAT-Flex for the first time in October and performed way lower than on my average PT – 157 (69th percentile). I did everything wrong before the October test – I took it from a hotel room instead of my normal study spot, scheduled it at a time outside of my normal study hours, and drank half a bottle of champagne the night before. Luckily, I purchased score preview so I deleted my score as soon as I opened it. As a result, I decided to retake it in December as a last attempt to apply this cycle. I took three PTs a week (MWF) between the October and November tests and blind reviewed on the days between (TRS). I ate a clean diet, didn't drink alcohol, and got a solid 8 hours of sleep every night of the week leading up to the test. I scheduled it within my normal study hours and took it from my usual study spot. I am super excited to report that I received my score today and got a168 (95th) this time around! It just goes to show that consistency and perseverance pays off. Thanks 7Sage for helping me raise my initial score from a 140 to a 168! Good luck everyone!
@lkchavez32 ahh bummer. Thanks for the response though!
@nadyashaben50391 Unfortunately, I think this is all we'll get. I called LSAC for the Oct. Flex and same response. Solely the score and percentile
Does anyone know if we ever get to see our raw score conversion, or if they keep it hidden because of the LSAT flex?

i think this test especially the reading comp was deceptive

Annnnnd just read on LSAC that it should come out at 9 a.m. - my refreshing was for not. lol
Who else is refreshing their inbox like a maniac? I have a busy day in the office but the only thing on my mind is that SCORE!
Reading all of the comments has helped me ALOT. I was extremely stressed and full of self-doubt after finishing.
On all of the practice tests I have done, I have NEVER run out of time.
I had to skip and entire RC section and come back to it, something I've never had to do. But reading through the comments, it seems like almost everyone had problems with that same reading.
There was one double sequence LG that threw me for a loop & by the time I finally figured it out, I had to guess on the last two questions. Thankfully it was my last game so I was able to finish all other questions with some confidence.
I am hopeful that as most of us seem to struggle with the same questions/passages that it will be a decent curve.
Congrats everyone :)

I think your writing sample is only valid for one year. Might want to double check with LSAC.

If I took the LSAT writing last November do I need to take it again this November?
@sojohnboy657 If you already have a Writing on file, then you don't have to take it again.
While you only have one year from your test date to complete your writing sample, once it's done, you don't need to do another (per LSAC).
anyone have an lsat flex raw score conversion chart thingy?
given only 3 sections and weightiness of each question, i am curious as to how that breaks down

Did anyone find the first game hard on their LG - it was a double sequencing game, I was missing an inference I think, went back to it and still couldn't figure it out
I did feel the first game was strangely hard for a double sequencing game. I got stuck, wasted almost 10 minutes, then had to skip and come back to it. My second time around I figured it out, but then had no time for the last game. I think many are in the same boat so let's hope for a good LG curve my friend.
I'm late to this thread but wanted to share my feedback. 2nd LSAT flex for me here-- RC was normal difficulty, felt decent; LR felt easy but went too slow at the end so had to guess in 20 seconds on the last section (but LR is normally my best section so I feel confident on the others); and LG was brutal for me. I got stuck in the first game and then realized I had to skip to salvage points. Games 2 and 3 went decently with an 85-90% confidence level, came back to game 1, figured it out on second glance and solved it, but had literally almost no time left for game 4, educated guess on conditional rules question and frantic guessing the last few answers. I'm hoping the LR and RC scores will work in my favor and that I at least got the points I salvaged on LG. Seems a lot of people ran low on times on LG this time (I finished my August LG section and did better then).
Also, I waited 80 MINUTES for a proctor to show, so that sucked. Had to talk to two tech support agents and they kept resetting my queue in the line for a proctor which just made things worse. I am a Christian and I felt my faith brought me a lot of peace as I sat there waiting 80 minutes doing nothing, the Lord brought passages of peace to mind.
