Is there a place where I can find samples of strong LSAT writing essays? I'm just starting to prepare and samples would be really helpful in learning more about the structure, expected analysis, etc. Thanks!

Is there anyway to drill/input answers for analytics for the leftover section if I took a PT in the flex format? I can't seem to take the last section unless I print it out and just do it by hand.

I was wondering if anyone had any insight or recommendation on whether or not to simulate the LSAT-flex (taking 3 sections as opposed to 4).

I was thinking that if I were to not simulate it, I could get more LR practice in but at the same time, I'm pretty sure if you take both then both factor into the score and that would artificially inflate my score given that I'm much better at LR than LG.

Any thoughts?

Taking the January LSAT and have been PTing around the mid to high 160s and have only ever broken 170 once. I struggle the most with RC (avg -7) and I think I've hit a slump on my improvement. I've tried slowing down my reading, speeding up, highlighting etc. but I just can't find something that makes the section click. Does anyone have tips on how to really make the jump to the 170s?

What are your guys schedules like? I've had a lot of free time while I've been waiting for my classes to begin, and I've found it very difficult to study LR effiecently for long periods of time. After a couple hours of intense study I start to make a lot of mistakes as my concentration lapses. I've found that taking a day off helped a lot.

Curious how you guys approach breaks.

did anyone else find PT72 wildly difficult? i took it earlier this week and got absolutely wrecked. granted, i wasn't in the test-taking mood when i sat down for it so i knew i probably wouldn't be scoring my best. and i did guess the entire last logic game (seriously wtf was that?). but even LR destroyed me and that's usually a very reasonable section for me.

im signed up for the january test and my score for PT72 was SIGNIFICANTLY lower than my last few tests :(

Seems that this is my biggest weakness when I look back on why I'm missing questions on LR and RC. I'm really struggling to fully process the arguments without missing the smaller details. Like 70% of the questions I'm getting wrong on LR are mostly from missed details, the others being not properly I.Ding the argument and not understanding the abstract language in some ACs.

Any tips for getting better at reading for detail? Obviously an important quality to have in law, but I've always been a big picture reader/thinker rather than a detailed oriented person, so it's a hard transition for me to make.

This problem of mine is really exacerbated in the I.D the disagreement questions. I'm terrible at figuring out what word was misunderstood and what the two disagree about, since the questions require you to understand all of the more detailed implications of the two arguments.

Does anyone have an idea of how he lsat-flex is done?

like where do we log-on to take the test? what are needed, etc.

It's not very clear on the website. LSAC says that they allow ear plugs starting Aug, 2020. I know that the plugs are allowed for the actual exam but for the writing sample the instruction page says Headphones, Earbuds are prohibited.

I called LSAC for clarification but the rep I spoke with wasn't sure either. Her explanation was basically what's on the website. (she said as long as you can show it to the proctor it's fine, to which, I responded, "I thought there was no proctor for the writing sample and it's just my self-recording of the process??"

I plan on using non-electronic foam ear plugs.

Could someone who has taken the exam weigh in on this! Much appreciated.

Just started taking my first PTs since the diagnostic and am trying to prepare for the Feb LSAT. How much improvement do people usually see on the PTs?

How's everyone generally feeling after their first couple of PTs?

I'm studying for the Jan test and I often find myself reviewing answers which leads to me being super frustrated when I see that it's often just a silly mistake that kept me from getting the answer right. It seems that my anxiety gets the best of me and I really am struggling to slow down! I ALWAYS have extra time on every section (especially LR and RC). I am averaging -4 on each of these sections, but the questions I'm missing are typically easier. Does anyone have a similar problem or have any tips for slowing down?

Hi- does anyone know a way to view the practice test you took continually and not question by question? That way you can keep pressing next and see what you got wrong in the same fashion that you take the test vs. seeing the filter view?

I was pting anywhere from 165-172 until about 2 weeks ago. Since then I’ve ptd three times (about to take my 4th) and continuously scored in the low 170s with my best score being 173 on PT 74 (LR -2 LG -0 RC -4). I’m so happy!! Hoping I do well on the Jan flex.

Hi all,

I'm registered for the Jan LSAT, but I'm not quite sure when we get to choose from the available time slots to take the exam. Is this even an option or do they randomly assign you to a data and time? If we do have options, what are they exactly? I'm assuming you can't start your exam whenever you want on the mentioned test days, so there must be some predetermined time slots.

Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks!

I am looking for a reading comp tutor for the Jan 16 LSAT RC Section. I am scoring -4 to -7 and really need to be -2 to -3 consistently. If you can help, please message me your rates and availabilities

Hi! I'm just now starting studying for the LSAT and I'm taking my first test in April of 2021. My diagnostic score was a 137 ( I had to guess on a lot because I ran out of time reading) and I am trying to get into the 150's. I am working on my reading comprehension but honestly I felt really discouraged by my diagnostic score. Is it possible to get into the 150's with a diagnostic score of 137?

Currently debating taking a more targeted run at the course content or just going with what the syllabus recommends. In example, taking a prep test and determining what my strengths vs. weaknesses are then running over the course sections that I am weak at and leaving the sections that I am strong at for later/if I feel the need. I'm planning on taking this coming August or September, so, plenty of time to review and get a significant amount of content complete. I am also currently in grad school and a Dad, so, that time may be subject to more and more demands. Any ideas/strategies or recommendations that worked for you?

I am planning to take the April 2021 LSAT FLEX and was wondering if I should take prep tests in the flex format to try and replicate test conditions as close as possible. If anyone has recommendations on if I should just take prep tests in the regular or flex format I would greatly appreciate it.

For over about 2 months now, I've been stuck in the 170 to 172 range. The good news is that its been consistent across my last 2 tests that were very tough (PT 79 and its hella hard RC section then M20 on LSAC where I had lots of technical difficulties). The bad is that I'd really like a 174+ (I've only scored above a 173 4 times out of 26 tests). I have no consistent weakness (if I do well in RC one PT, I struggle with LR; next test could be vise-versa). Is a 172 the best I can hope for? I test in Jan.

Hi! I've been using the 7sage score converter to try to find out my score for the flex. However I've noticed that if one was to get 2 total answers wrong, they estimate one would get a 179. But change that 2 to a 3, and it goes down to 175. I know they say to take these estimates with a grain of salt, so I was wondering if anyone had already taken the flex and could provide some insight into how its actually scored, vs the 7sage converter? I just want to get a more accurate picture of where I'm at. Thanks!

I know I can do so for the Preptests, but can I see all the questions I missed on Problem Sets?

Hello, I would like a 1 on 1 tutor to help me study for the next 3 weeks until January 16th test! I feel like I'm so close to clicking with this test and need an extra boost with it. I was PT in the 162 area consistently before the November test, then had lots of non-lsat things happen the day before and I was completely shaken and score 149.

Ideally I would like a 170+ and I know that I can do it! Price will be open to discussion! Not too demanding, I'm thinking 2-3hrs per week for the next 3 weeks.

My games are -1 or -0, and my LR and RC I can do all the question types. LR I keep making dumb mistakes or having odd questions that don't register. RC I need to focus on reading for structure of the passage, if I understand the passage, the I understand the questions but the passage.

Please let me know if you are interested :)

Over the course of years on and off with school full time & working Part time 80% of this period I’ve Meticulously documented 1200 hours of study. Most of it has been untimed or practice tests with no review. ( started to Br months after I found 7sage)

Started at 135. Stuck around 149-152 now (160+ br)

I think timing is an issue but any advice for breaking 160 timed ?...started pt phase recently .

My goal is to get at least 150 to be able to be accepted into the JD Law program. i am not trying to get 160's +, I am just trying to break the 150's. I am consistently hitting the mid 140's on all Practice Tests I do. No matter what I do, it has not improved.... I understand where I make my mistakes, but I feel that I am falling under the time pressure. I can't seem to get faster, although i get majoirty or higher right on the problem sets. I am getting a consistent -12 on LR, usually -5 on LG and like -16 on RC. I havent studied too much on RC but I am going to really start crunching on that. Any tips or reccomendations would be greatly appreciated. I am beginning to doubt myself more than I already am. I am taking the test in January again!!

I began studying in August for about 6 hrs a day, although I was wroking 45+ a week, a full course load in college and playing collegiate soccer. So I understand I was definitely doing too much, but this was like an addiction. I felt guilty if I was doing anything, but LSAT. Please any tips would be greatly appreciated, I feel I have invested too much time and especially too much money to stop now.

I'm off school until February 1st, so I have unlimited time to do this. I've been studying since August and I really need to take this LSAT exam.

Here is where I'm at -

LR #1 - usually minus 6

LR #2 - usually minus 4

RC - anywhere from minus 3 to minus 7

LG - consistently minus 3 or minus 2

I'm pretty sure LG might get to minus 2, but otherwise I'm fine taking the minus 2. I really need to improve on LR and RC.

LR wise, I've been tracking which questions I get wrong and I mostly get these types wrong:

RC wise, I seem to get everything right on the first passage and then the third and fourth are where I have the hardest time. I am pretty sure my mind just gets tired by this time in the test. How do you resolve this problem? The questions I most get wrong here are:

How do you all recommend I improve? Timing isn't really a problem for me, I usually have time left to check on LR and RC but I am really tired by then. Maybe I should spend more time on each question and more time checking over?

Thank you in advance!
