Is anyone else not able to put the full 35:00 mins??

Hi! This is obviously a long shot, but my scores are in the 140s right now and I am trying to get to at least the low to mid 160s. I have finished most of the core curriculum at 7sage, have been drilling in the 5lbs manhattan book, went through the powerscore bible and the Loophole by Ellen Cassidy but I am seeing very slow improvements. I started about 1.5 months ago and have been studying 10-14 hours a day while looking for jobs and also working a part-time job. This pandemic has also brought a lot of stressors into my life, so I am not in the best state of mind and am having trouble retaining information. Also, not seeing any improvements on my LSAT is definitely adding to my stress. I am taking the test in November but will definitely retake it in January. Anyone with a study schedule or strategy that has helped them make big improvements in their score please let me know what worked for you. I am open to trying new tactics as my old ones are not working.

I think I want a study partner for weekly check ins who is planning to take the LSAT more than once in 2021. My first exam is January, but I plan to take it summer and fall next year too. I'm hoping to find someone who is not in a rush for the high score, who is making a change mid-career, who protects/prioritizes study time and who is a PARENT. Message me.

Hi all,

Taking the LSAT in Jan. I've completed the CC and The Loophole in the LSAT Logical Reasoning. I've taken 8 prep tests with my latest and highest being a 174 on PT 69 (my last three scores have be 167, 170, and 174, spaced about a week apart each). I know I'm not out of the woods yet so any tips on how to approach the next 3 months would be greatly appreciated!

Hello Everyone,

Just wondering if any November test takers have chosen their testing date/time? Im not sure when we get the ability to do that. Any insight would be appreciated!

Hey! It says on the LSAC website that built-in webcams are okay, however, I will be taking the exam on a desktop computer. I've read that the proctor will ask you to show them the entire room and it's just not possible with a built-in webcam.

Has anyone taken the FLEX already with a desktop and can advise on this? Do I need to rent or purchase a webcam? Thanks guys

Hi all,

My initial diagnostic test was at 149 and I completed the entire LSAT Trainer curriculum and at the end of it I scored 160. I am having a hard time improving my score, consistently scoring 160-165 range. I get about 6-8 wrong in every section. I just recently discovered 7sage and have been kind of regretting not starting off here, and feel like I may have wasted too much of my time on the LSAT Trainer.

I have been foolproofing LG because I know that's the easiest to improve, and I do see improvements in my reasoning, but under timed conditions I'm not yet able to fully grasp the concepts and answer all questions correctly. However in BR, I can score around -2. Any advice on how to get quicker at thinking through and understanding LG would be great.

I'm not sure how to tackle LR and RC, so any methods or pieces of advice would be really helpful! I think figuring out a way to improve in these 2 sections can help me improve my overall score.

Ideally I'd like to score between 170-175 and I know I probably won't be ready until the next cycle of LSAT exams, but I'd like to gather as much info as possible to better map out a game plan. I appreciate all the advice in advance!!

In the recent months, I've seen posts on Reddit where people are PTing all time highs of 160+, right after the change to Flex. Not sure about here, but I presume its likely the same. The format of Flex makes LG and RC worth so much more than before. Also, there is a consensus that LG is the easiest to improve at. Now that there's only one LG, RC, and LR section for Flex, it'd be far easier to get a higher score by even only improving your LG since it's weight is worth the same as LR and RC.

I'm not sure how all of this is going to impact the admission cycle for 2021. A little worried about this, but I suspect previous admission scores won't necessarily be a good indication of what scores will get you in for 2021. I suspect it will probably be a few points higher.

What are your thoughts?

Hello all,

I was initially going to wait until after taking Nov LSAT but I just couldn’t wait... so I did it. I applied. It was really exciting and now the anticipation begins. I do have questions. I will go ahead and take the Nov lsat regardless. But will the updated score get sent to the schools I applied to before the decision is rendered? What if the decision is rendered after I take the lsat? I’m guessing I will have to go through the application process again for all of the law schools with the updated score?

Does anyone know where I can find a logical reasoning questions categorized by the flaw (Ad hom, equivocation,etc.)

Hi did anyone skip sections and go right to the tests? I'm kind of anxious to see if I have retained what I have learned.

Blueprint explanations vs JY? what do y’all think?

Hi everyone! I'm taking the LSAT-Flex in November and currently I'm doing 2 PT a week. However, my score is still fluctuating so much. Are there any PT that measure performance more accurately than the rest?

Thank you!

On LSAT Flex rules it says that you can only have 5 pieces of paper and a pen/pencil + eraser without a sleeve. Are mini whiteboards prohibited? I believe they are but just wanted to double check since the GRE uses them.

Thank you!

Can you wear ear plugs during lsat writing? I thought you could but when you go on the proctoring thing it says no ear plugs unless you have accommodations

I just took the lsat writing portion on my boyfriends desktop computer. It passed all the system checks and everything like that, but while I was writing something popped up that said “prohibited application in use: game bar”. I didn’t know what that meant so I just pressed ok and kept writing. Then I asked my boyfriend what that was and he said Microsoft game bar is always running in the background. Could that make my writing disqualified? Or would they be able to see that I obviously didn’t use it? Should I call LSAC and explain?

Hi for those of you that have taken LSAT Flex or know of people who have taken the test, how long did it typically take to receive your score?

I am in a dilemma right now, my school's documents are due February 1, 2021 and I am planning on taking the January 16 test (assuming its going to be Flex as well).

Hi everyone! I recently did another PT & BR. I'm discouraged because my BR is 11 points higher than my PT score (think from 145PT to 156BR range). Obviously I want to get to a true score of 156+, and the BR did show me that I have the potential to score well and continue to grow to the score I want (165)....But HOW do I do this?

What are your suggestions to overcome time anxiety? I want to be more precise with my answers, but with the knowledge that the time is running, I make dumb mistakes and miss rules. Also, how did you guys just overall get faster? I keep drilling things but have not hit the speed I need/want. Should I just keep doing drills? More PTs? Any help is appreciated.

Silly question, are you allowed to use a color pen on the lsat?

My score might be delayed since I took the Oct LSAT on the 8th and will just now be taking the writing sample. I bought score preview, does anyone know if I can still use it if my score is delayed?

Hey everyone, quick question for those who have taken the LSAT-Flex. Do they provide you with scrap paper and obviously it has to be utilized on screen. You can't have scrap paper physically next to you during the exam, correct? Thanks everyone

For Oct LSAT, I took a PT almost every day to get my stamina up, and I'm pretty sure that I (definitely) reached burn out mode. What have you guys found is the sweet spot of PTs to take in a week? I believe I'm starting a full-time remote job soon, so that's also a consideration for me. Thx!

Hi, I just took my first digital (FLEX version) PT and had a big big mental breakdown from the beginning. The format was not something that I was expecting tbh. Especially for RC, I couldn't even see the passage at once and had to scroll if I wanted to refer back when solving a question. Do you have any tips on getting familiar with the flex tests?

Is it too late to take the February LSAT for the Fall 2021 year? I've been studying since August and I'm not sure if I'll be prepared to take the LSAT in January.

I've been going in sort of a random order, because 1) I don't have time to go through eveeeeerything before test day, and 2) I'm trying to really focus on the areas I'm weak in. Should I be going in order instead?
