Rode that Pennsylvania blue wave right into this exam. Congrats to everyone who took it today! On top of an election. On top of a pandemic. WE DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Omg, just finished.
Logic games killed me. Guessed over 10 questions. Thank god I purchased the preview.
Reading comp was not easy and not hard.
LR was on a harder scale.
Taking the test in nyc with crowds yelling outside was quite a challenge.
PS At least Biden won 😂
Does anyone else feel like they have absolutely no idea how they performed on the exam? I've taken in twice and this is the first time that I have no idea how I did. The other two times I felt I was within a range and it was accurate. But this time, I have no idea but I don't feel good or bad about it.
First off to all of us CONGRATS we did it! No matter how you did or if you plan on taking again this is an amazing first step. I thought the test was challenging in certain parts compared to all the PTs I did. I got LG LR and RC. Do not drink too much water before the test, I had to pee really bad going into my last section which was rough. The proctor took 20 min to set me up but was really nice. Well see how the curve goes and again good job everyone no matter how you did! This isn't easy and we stepped up and did it regardless. I think I will take again in January/February now that my first test nerves are gone but well see.
TOPICS for RC passages (Not in that order)
Colombian agriculture (Coffee and Silk) (social sciences) (Economics)
Bipedalism - hominins. (Science)
Human Rights (comparative) (Law) (and a little of humanities in this)
Locke - Relativism. (Philosophy) (Humanities)
I hope this helps.
I had RC-LR-LG. I didn’t think RC was that bad except for the comparative passage. LR and LG was the usual. Game 3 was kinda long so if you’re Brute Forcing some of the questions, remember not to take too much time as there’s still a game 4. Had 5.5 min going into game 4 and was able to get 4/5 of them. Like JY says, if a question is taking too long, get out of there and don’t let it eat away time for other questions.
If you’ve been preparing, you got this! #MambaMentality (for my bball fans out there)
I had LR - RC - LG. LR felt difficult but it could've been the nerves. Other sections felt normal.
Congrats everyone!!!!! So happy that's done! fingers crossed for everyone!
I had LR-RC-LG it felt pretty okay although I was definitely a little rushed with the RC.
CONGRATS TO US ALL!!! glad its finally over!!

For those of you who've taken November - are proctors still "checking" your equipment between sections?
Yooo my proctor did between my LG and LR...with like 5 secs left he was still controlling my mouse and I whimpered something like "Excuse me I have to take my test" LOL and he stopped. He was def planning to stop, I think they just do random checks I suppose so don't be freaked out by them.
Also. DON'T DRINK MUCH WATER BEFORE - just enough to be non-headachy. I won't go into much more detail than that. But don't ya'll!!!
Shoutout everyone else from Philly tho FLY EAGLES FLY (3(/p)
RC has me sobbing.
Just took for second time (first in Oct). LG-LR-RC. LG not super hard except the last game killed me, couldn't even diagram and guessed my way through! Yikes, not so sure I scored higher than in Oct, but what can you do. Slight tech issue in middle, connection 'failed' for about 30 seconds then re-booted. Congratulations to everyone taking during this crazy year, and especially this week. I think just that in and of itself is a big accomplishment. hugs to all.
I told myself NO LSAT forums for a few days after. It's been nice to take a break but now I'm in over analyzing mode wondering if I need to start prepping for LSAT 2021. I feel confident I did well, I listened to some Beyoncé before to boost my confidence but waiting for a proctor I fell into panic again! lol! I had LR-LG-RC I did have to guess on 3-5 per section because of timing, but I felt very confident I might have exceeded my goal score. #ClaimingIt
TERRIBLE in LG. I just finished and I cried as soon as the proctorU session ended. I got LG-RC-LR and when I'm telling you that I forgot how to LG, I literally forgot. RC was pretty standard and I did not find it difficult at all. LR, also pretty standard, and the splitter questions were very distinct. I underperformed for sure, it was a mix of nerves and frustration. PLEASE DO NOT BE DISCOURAGED, everyone performs differently under pressure. YOU'LL DO GREAT!
RC--LG--LR
RC was horrid. UGH. other than that LR normal and LG normal.
I had LG-RC-LR and it was fairly good I think. RC was more doable than I anticipated, most of LR was good but was running short on time with LG. Overall though I feel really good about it! Congratulations to everyone that took this exam during such a crazy time- we did it guys!!!!
Just took my test. Felt exactly on par with the May 2020 release and October Flex. Nothing out of the ordinary, pretty standard in terms of difficulty.
Word of advice for anyone taking the test - be prepared for a harder test but don't let other people's experiences shake you. I kept telling myself that going into it because these threads were starting to worry me and I think it really helped.
Anyone have any guesses on how generous this curve would be? I think I blew it on RC and need a GENEROUS -10 curve to get the score i want
The 2 week wait is the hardest part. SIGH.
I took it Sunday morning, and I got RC-LG-LR.
I think (I hope) I did ok. RC was average- the first two passages were pretty easy, the last two were definitely harder, but not horrible. LG was also average, maybe on the easy side- the last game was much harder than the first 3, but still doable. I found LR to be the hardest section, but once again, nothing killer like PT 85.
I think the curve will be -7.
Keep your fingers crossed that I don’t have to take this stupid test in January, and I’ll do the same for you!
Could not for the life of me fall asleep last night. Got maybe 3 hours tops since i was so anxious. The anxiety increased substantially right before the test this morning, leading me to vomit. By the time the test began i was a basket case! RC-LG-LR. RC seemed insanely difficult and virtually impossible for me to comprehend. That said, I am glad i finished the test because I didn't think was going to make it. I'm taking it again in February!
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!
I did ... worse than my average? I'm feeling super discouraged lol
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
LG-LR-RC
Just finished and felt very "meh" about it, not amazing but not completely beaten down. My brain on my last LG game about finances was just not working and I had to make guesses through that one, the other games were pretty doable. On RC, the Art passage absolutely killed me, I felt good about the other passages, but because of the Art passage I struggled to have enough time to finish this section. On LR, it wasn't anything crazy. Will most likely be retaking in January though haha. Overall, proud of everyone here for even taking this exam in such a difficult time/year!!!
