Can you sign up for proctor u and schedule the flex exam from a phone or does it have to be on a computer?

Hey everyone! I saw that a few people were having issues signing up so I thought I'd share what I did to sign up.

First I went to the ProctorU website. I selected Log-in even though I did not have an account. Then I put as my username the email associated with my LSAC account. After this I hit forgot password. Then I put the same email down and requested a password change. After this I checked my email and changed my password (this whole time I did not have an account). I then logged in with the new password and LSAC email and answered a few questions about my address. Now click My Sessions on the top banner and your scheduled LSAT should be there. Click on it and now you can select a time and date for your test with extra options located on the left side of the screen. Good luck everyone!

Hi all!

I’m taking the Jan 2021 FLEX. I’ve completed the core curriculum and have now moved on to taking PTs. I’m curious to know if others who are signed up for FLEX are taking full PrepTest or simulating the FLEX with only three sections? It feels like by taking FLEX PTs, I’m leaving valuable resources on the table (practice questions). But I also, want to make make sure my practice is as close to test day as possible. Suggestions?

Hey there folks, I'll be taking the November flex on my tiny desk in a dark corner. Does anyone know if I'm allowed to have a lamp on the desk, or just my PC, paper, pencils etc..?

Since I’m going into law school directly after undergrad, I would assume I send my transcripts to LSAC after my junior year. So if that’s the case, does that mean my senior year won’t affect what gets seen by law schools during the admission process?

Hi everyone! I don’t really understand if we’re supposed to sign up for the LSAT writing using the ProctorU link that LSAC just sent us... or how am I supposed to start my LSAT Writing tomorrow?

Hey Guys - ridiculous observation, but I just realized that i've been practicing with 7Sage for three months and never accessed the official LSAT tests utilizing their typefont/format. Wondering if this will throw me off my game come test day...

Hey Everyone!

I'm Maria and I am new to 7sage! I am really excited to start my law school journey. Unfortunately, I have been trying to upgrade the course and it wont let me. I tried four different cards and made sure the cards had sufficient funds which they did but the payment still failed. Did anyone else have this issue? I logged out and back in to try again and still no luck. Is this an website issue? Help please!

Thanks

Hi everyone - I'm scheduled to take the November LSAT but my scores just have not been what I want. I need at least low-170s as my GPA is low, and I'm currently averaging mid-to-high 160s raw and 170s BR. Please help me decide! Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Here are my pros and cons.

Reasons to NOT take test in Nov:

-I'm not applying this cycle so I'm not in a rush to take the test

-Given that my low GPA and my work history isn't something I can work on, the LSAT (and the personal statement) is the only thing I have control over

-I'm fully committed to studying and really believe I can get the score I want

Reasons to take test in Nov:

-It's good to have test-day experience, there's value in having gone through that

-Score preview -- I can always cancel this score

-I signed up for the test, it's always good to follow through on commitments

-A low score isn't the end of the world

I saw it'll be up on here eventually... but does anyone have any data or know of a company thats posted it? I suppose one could just figure it out with repeated takes and increasing wrong answer... I just wanted to see how many I missed on the actual take without going through all that.

I got waitlisted at my top school. My LSAT falls below the median but my GPA is over the 75th percentile... what should I do? I would really love to go here, but I also have other options as well.

I'm taking the LSAT for the first time in November. I've been studying consistently (6-8 hours per day) since May and over the past two months I've been taking at least one PT a week. I wanted to seek some advice on what kind of study schedule people have found effective 7 days prior to taking the exam... I'm planning on taking two PT's, one this Sunday and one on the Thursday. Then studying roughly 8 hours a day (I'll be including those PT's as study hours). I've heard a lot of people talk about burning out and how studying "too much" the week prior can lead to overthinking on exam day. I tend to struggle with being confident in my answers and do suffer with test anxiety so I'm trying to avoid anything that will lead me to overthink on the day. I'd love any advice or tips people have for study schedules or what to focus on reviewing during the final week. Thanks so much in advance :)

Is anyone else feeling the tendency to try to write out a 'Why ___ Statement' for each school they apply to. I've written two unsolicited ones to essentially my TOP choices and I don't think my application is a shoe-in at either so I'm hoping this will be beneficial. I am also writing two other mandatory 'Why ___ Statements' (Michigan and Duke).

Weirdly now I feel 'guilty' for not writing unsolicited Why ___ statements to some of other schools lol.... Probs just stressing out at this point and I feel like any other Why ___'s would not be as convincing since truly they wouldn't be my top choices. Idk...

Anyone else feeling this?

Hi all,

I have take the LSAT 6 times -- 4 times years ago (158-160) each time. This cycle, I improved to a high score of a 165. Should I write an addendum to explain the increase in score?

Similarly, I have one opportunity to retake this cycle, but am not confident I will improve. Will it hurt me if I re-take the exam and perform worse?

If anyone needs LG help please reach out! I got a 167 on the October LSAT and have been tutoring for about 2 months now!

Came as admission swag last cycle. I won't be using it and it'd be a shame if it went to waste. Just take care of postage and it's yours. Leather, hardcover, comes with a pen... very swanky.

I'll mail it first class or media, but max cost I assume would be a priority flat rate envelope. Actually if you want it you could just send me a shipping label. Zip code 96706.

Claimed!. Claimant disappeared on me. Back up for grabs

I was averaging 169-173 on PTs just under a month going into October, which was going to be my first ever LSAT. Idk if it was the nerves or lack of sleep but I ended up making very costly mistakes on the LG. I usually bank on getting -0/-1 on LG to get my PT average, as my RC score can be inconsistent. I ended up misreading a conditional as a regular rule on one of the games, which was obviously a HUGE mess up. This took me about 7 mins to figure this out, as I went to straight panic mode. This was very costly because I usually finish LG right on the nick of time (around the 34 or 34.5 minute mark) for most of my PTs, so missing 7 mins made a huge impact. I probably had to take educated guesses on like 1/3 of the last two games because of the time I wasted, which really sucked cuz I even had the last and hardest figured out w/ the proper inferences, but just didn't have time to attempt all of the questions properly. This was my first section and it left me in shock mode for the rest of the test, and I ended up scoring 160.

Luckily I'm signed up for november and I have been studying after october cuz I basically knew I performed poorly due to that mess up (tho I thought I'd score a bit better than this). I'm still pretty much scoring the same, tho I think my LG and LR have gotten just a bit more consistent. But emotionally this has taken a huge toll on me... I'm starting to question my abilities and I'm having major doubts about myself. If anyone has any stories/anecdotes of similar situations w/ a good score on a retake, or just any words of encouragement/inspiration, I'd GREATLY appreciate it. Thanks for reading, I really appreciate the 7sage community here.

Hi all,

Registering for the Jan LSAT but it looks as if I'm registering for an in-person LSAT when LSAC has announced that it will be Flex. Is this normal or should I wait to register? Also, is registering early an issue for Flex?

Felt pretty good after posting two record high scores and breaking into the mid-170s... maybe a little cocky even. Took the extra LR section from my upcoming PT and just got annihilated. Quite the end to a pretty good run of -2 and unders. Check out this phalanx of 4s and 5s: https://i.imgur.com/hxNoseo.jpg

Of the last 10 questions only 1 was under a level 4. Not spoiling the PT... wouldn't want to rob you all of the joy of experiencing this. I'm definitely done for the night.

As this is a popular source of reading material for working RC practice into leisure reading, I thought someone here might want my issues. I usually just recycle them, but I'm sure someone here can put them to good use. I have two to get rid of now... three by weeks end.

I can mail you a couple issues every couple weeks (within the US) free of charge as long as my subscription continues, on the condition that you:

Please post below, or I can update with who ends up getting them. Maybe we can just designate a chain of custody in here or something... anyway first person to agree in here hit me up with your address.

Also have some Scientific American issues in pdf that I'll send to anyone who wants them. Read them all so I'll be deleting the files. Maybe a year's worth... a couple years old (2017). For these as well, it'd be great if you pass them on to at least one other 7sager who could benefit from having them. I'll send them out to a few people before getting rid of them.

Edit: so a lot of them are too big to email. I'm hosting them on drive here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1AIQxQ0aFEXJusBA0hejBMtXEcv5qzRLu?usp=sharing

As long as this links up it'll be active. Will probably take it down in a day or so.

If anyone has any copies of Science or Nature, I'd love to trade, but completely unnecessary.

Edit 10/31 STILL AVAILABLE.

Edit 11/8 Bump... SciAm link is still up, but no one who expressed interest ended up sending me an address to forward the Economist copies. These are going into the recycle bin soon... last chance for free issues.

Is it worth taking the LSAT for the experience? I'm averaging mid 160; primarily because I get brain fatigue when LR isn't the first section (I can work on that). FOr those who've taken it and those who haven't, is it worth taking the test to get a feel of it?

When do I send my transcripts to LSAC? I’m currently a junior and will apply a year from now, so do I send them my information after this year and then they note that my gpa is still in progress?

Please I need a tutor in RC and LR!

Is there a lesson on some and most for conditional statements? I just searched through the course and couldn't find anything.

Especially if your first language is not English. I speak another language fluently, but would NEVER be able to comprehend an RC section in that language. It must take a lot of hard work and dedication (A LOT!) to get to the point that you can speak another language well enough to get through the LSAT without losing your mind.

If any of you are discouraged, just remember that the majority of native English speakers wouldn't even bother trying to take the LSAT. You are doing something that is incredibly difficult. When climbing a difficult mountain, sometimes it helps to stop, look around, and realize just how far you've come. BE PROUD OF YOURSELVES!
