If you have received your score for the your LSAT FLEX - can you please advise if it was close to your PTing average ?

I completed my diagnostic - got a 154 and 158 after blind review - but did it under "FLEX simulator". A bit concerned regarding the accuracy of my score since no one is sure how the LSAC will be scoring the FLEX. I plan on taking FLEX in Feb.

I know I can just do all 4 sections to get an accurate score but am curious on those who received their FLEX score , how close their official score was to their FLEX PTing avg.

Greetings,

I'm taking the November LSAT FLEX on Wednesday. Originally my score was at 141but my score gradually increased over the passed couple of months. I've been stuck at 153 since the end of September, however, I have a strong feeling that I would be able to score higher if I learned to became more comfortable with the time constraints. I went from taking prep test every week to almost everyday along with other forms of timed and mastery practice. I am a person who in general has issues with anxiety. I am currently three days away from taking my LSAT test and I am experiencing a major reoccurring problem. For the past two weeks, I've been experiencing the inability to finish my test due to panic. I usually start to become frustrated and unfocused to the point where I'm unable to regain my focus enough to answer the remaining questions ( I was not experiencing this problem up until the last week of October).

I'm not sure if I'm burnt out to the point where it escalating my anxiety or if it's another underlying reason. I am hoping I can receive advice on what I should do from this point.#HELP

Hi! Of course, night before my test... my webcam crapped out (because why would I have a stress free experience anyways?) I bought a new one, and now it is saying that the webcam height and width can not be found. Does anyone have the fix for this?

EDIT- just went and got a different one that works. Not messing around haha

Also of note, the released form (of which there were several - IIRC 16 of them but don't quote me) of the May Flex ended up being a -9 curve, BUT there was at least some indication that the released scale might have been composed after the release... which kind of makes one wonder if a different method was used on the actual test.

I take the LSAT Monday so I no longer need my 7Sage Ultimate plan. However, I would like to review what I’ve done until Monday. Does anyone know what happens when you cancel? Will all of my progress and information be wiped away?

With students taking the November examas early as tomorrow, I encourage you to make time to "warm up" before you start your exam.

The purpose is to get you in the "mode," and get any "kinks" out before the actual exam. Ideally we want to trigger muscle memory so you're in the zone as soon as you start the first exam question (rather than finding your footing after a few questions).

Here's my prescription for warming up. The key idea is EASY - you don't want to run the marathon before the marathon - you want to do light stuff to get the blood flowing and get yourself in the zone:

2-5 EASY LR questions

Annotate an EASY RC passage (Don't worry about the questions if you don't have time - it's just a warm up).

Set Up for an Easy Game and make those Inferences! (Again - Don't worry about the questions if you don't have time - it's just a warm up).

It's fine if you want to use material you've done before, it's just about getting you in "LSAT Mode."

Also, feel free to do this on PTs - you may see a difference.

Its time. We are all freaking out but trust yourself. You've done the work and know what to do. LR: You've done every question type multiple times and know how to I.D and Breakdown the stimulus and find that damn answer! LG... dont you dare throw me something crazy LSAT CREATORS! RC Give me those engaging sexy topics please!

OH well, good luck everyone. BTW is January LSAT too late to apply? No! Dont think this way. You got THIS ONE!

Hey all! Hope everyone is doing well.

I took the LSAT-Flex in August and during my session my proctor took control of my laptop for a while and did some stuff. I didn't pay attention. Going into law because I can't technology.

Now, I can't take screenshots with my laptop or use video on Zoom.

Does anyone know how I fix these issues? I have an 11 year old MacBook Pro.

Thanks in advance!! (3(/p)

Taking the November test and was wondering if we can have our laptop chargers nearby? I don't want it plugged in because my laptop will get too hot but was just wondering if people had theirs nearby when they wrote.

For those of you who score above 170, how often do you guess on answers? On my last practice test, I got stuck on an LR question and sunk so much time into it that I had to rush through the remaining questions. I am aiming for 170+, so feel a lot of pressure not to miss questions, but sometimes this mindset seems to make it harder. Is the answer just to accept that I will inevitably get stuck sometimes and be ok with guessing, or does this just mean I need to study more to reach my goal? Looking for insight! Thanks!!

I take the LSAT Flex on Sunday on my laptop. I'm wondering if while you're taking the test, any notifications come in or does the ProctorU software completely block out everything? I see my iMessages come in on my laptop and I'm worried that it will happen during the test. I tried deactivating iMessage already but something is wrong with my iMessage so I can't. Thanks in advance for any help!

I've written a flex before and used my laptop, it was easy to show my environment to the proctor by lifting/moving my laptop entirely. I'm going to be writing this week's flex on a desktop with a built in camera. To experienced flex writers who have used a desktop, how did you show the proctor your environment?

Thanks!

Hey guys! now that I know we are allowed to use control F, i was wondering if anyone had any advice on how to use it most efficiently. I suppose that for RC explicitly states passages it would serve most helpful, but I am just wondering if anyone has found any other use to it?

Was trying to figure out my login for LawHub today and saw the May 2020 exam with the option to take it as a flex. Kinda didn't think anything of it then PowerScore released a podcast episode about it and I realized it was kinda random they released it. I'm lowkey too scared to look at it tho cause my test is on Sunday lol but for anyone else to have at it!!

OMG i'm freaking out. i just checked my proctorU account and it says my test got scheduled for the 7th when I definitely scheduled it for the 10th. ProctorU is telling me I scheduled it for the 7th and the 10th is booked. I'm seriously about to have a panic attack I don't know what to do! Does anyone on here have some advice??

hi guys! im taking the test this sunday and ive been testing out my equipment on the proctor u website everyday. the last few days it has been saying that my RAM usage is too high and i searched up so many different ways to bring it down but itll stay good for a few and then when i test it again hours later its back up to around 93-98% usage and the max allowed is 90%. i have a 2018 macbook air.

has anyone taken the exam even if their RAM didnt pass and it went fine? im not sure what to do at this point

thank you

Greetings people!

I purchased an iPad, and I am wondering what are people's experience with using it for their studies.

I thought it would be nice to work with during my BR and drilling. I am trying not to waste a ton of paper. Since the test day will require me to use paper, I will do my practice test with traditional paper and pencil.

Do you like it? Do you hate it? Pencil and paper all the way?

Thank you. I am just curious!
