Hi everyone,

So I took the flex yesterday and I am shocked at how underwhelmed I am.

Going in I was averaging around 159/160, and was generally feeling great in LR and RC, but still weak in games.

On the flex I did well on the games (by my standards) and then for some reason I couldn't get into shape for LR and RC (missed a whole passage) and I've no idea what happened.

At this point I will be content to score anything above my 154 from August.

I am applying to Canadian schools (in access category at most) with around a 3.7 gpa and I don't know whether I should keep studying full-time until the Jan Flex, or to go find a full-time job and study on the side.

Saving money for law school sounds nice, but one must get in for that to be relevant and I'm going to be borderline.

I appreciate any help really.

Hey everyone.

On the August LSAT I received a 160. I thought I was done, but I feel like I can still get a higher score. However if I take it again, it'd be my 4th time. What do you guys think?

Due to COVID, LSAT FLEX is in-home test, and i am wondering whether everyone takes the test with computer or tablet?

Is tablet allowed to use for LSAT flex? if yes, can iPad be used as well?

What is the pros and cons to take exam with laptop and tablet?

I would like some tip/info regarding this from previous takers too!

Hi I was wondering if there was a way to do a 25 question LR problem set with the full 35 mins without taking an official test. If you add 25 questions to a problem set they add to 33 minutes, which is 35/26 x 25. Is there a way to artificially override that time without adding time and half?

EDIT: Nevermind, I just realized there's an option for that in the time menu.

Flex

Hello! Signing up for Dec. and LSAC prompted me to pick a testing location. I was under the impression all tests were Flex through April. Does anyone have any insight into this? Much appreciated.

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!!
