Can I have a snack on my desk during flex? V important question

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??

Data point: Took writing sample on Sunday (11/1) and it was approved today (11/5).

One less thing to worry about before test in 6 days....

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!

Hi, I was just curious as to where I was supposed to take the LSAT Writing portion.. online, it says that it is open 8 days prior to my registered test date but I don't see it anywhere on my account! Please help! Thanks.

Hey, if anyone needs help on LG let me know, I’ve been helping students for about two months now. I also scored a 167 on October.

When i finished my essay and got the end where you have the option to close the screen and preview my essay all i saw was a close button. So i could out of the page i didnt have to do anything else or sign anything, but i thought you do have to do that. Is this correct!? On the lsac website it just same exam initiated, not completed or anything. Does that not change until its approved??

Stressing out, if anyone has the answers it would be very much appreciated!!

Hi everyone,

We recently changed the default video player to our new "Modern" video player.

If you would like to change your video player you can do so by going to the Settings tab and selecting one of the three options under "Video Player." See the screenshot below:

Let us know if you have any questions!

I'm starting to worry. My average is in the low 150's, which, for me, took a lot of work. My last three practice tests have been sub 150 and I've straight tanked my last two in the low 140's the past two days in a row (PT 83 and PT 84). I'm writing on Nov. 11th. Have I burnt out or is there some hope of getting back to my average or above on test day?

Thank you everyone, the 7 sage community has taken me from feeling hopeless to hopeful!

Just wanted to tell ya'll good luck as you get closer to your test date! You got this! :)

Hi all! I just did at PT with all 4 sections on, and did about 10 points better than when I take a PT simulating the LSAT-Flex. I understand that the original PT with 4 sections is supposed to be worth more or what not, but is anyone else experiencing this? Or are my scores just fluctuating like crazy? I write the Flex on the 10th and am becoming fairly discouaged!

Hey! Does anyone have any suggestions for a good warmup on test day? I feel like I should do some sort of LG/ LR/ RC exercises before the real deal.

What do test takers receive on test day?

I recently discovered that the score 7sage gives me when I complete an LSAT flex has been different in some instances than the score I get after I input results into the score converter. I always make sure the score converter is reflecting the right PT. Is there an explanation for this? and which is more reliable?

Edit: I also always make sure the "Two LR Sections" box isn't selected in the converter.

in the midst of the pandemic, the unpredictable cycle and the legal market, we have the election. the lsat and the admissions process are stressful as they are.. kudos to all of us powering through this. we deserve a pat on the back.

good luck future lawyers!

For those that have taken the flex: When exactly are you permitted to start writing on your scratch paper? I have certain mnemonics that I want to write out (hopefully) before the clock starts.

Hey guys! does anyone know if converting one of these regular PT's into a flex will change the score alot? like i am getting 155-160 on them, but my worry is that the actual LSAT flex will give me a different score not representative of the one 7 sage gives

This course has been so helpful and I'm excited that I got the score I wanted!! Good luck fellow 7sagers

I am so confused about what to do about the LSAT writing portion...I have heard such a mix of things you're supposed to do. Basically I'm wondering is if there is a huge downside to doing it the day I do the exam (next weds) or the day after??? I was going to do it right away when it opened up 8 days prior but I feel as though this is wasting valuable study time.
