For anybody who has taken/signed up for the LSAT flex - is there a typical time range that you sign up to take the exam? For example, do most people begin their actual test at 8:30 am est? I have signed up for the April 2021 LSAT Flex and a lot of advice I have seen from others on here for simulating a real practice test environment is to follow the same schedule/timing you will on the day of the actual exam, but I am unsure what time frames those possibly are with the LSAT Flex. Any advice or insights from anybody who has taken the flex? Thank you!

Anyone else doing Logic Games in their sleep??

Seriously though, it made me think about how important a good night's rest is for this process. We may think that constantly studying is the answer, but sleep is where we process what we've learned. A set number of hours isn't possible for all of us... I know there are many on here with full time jobs, young children etc. But just a friendly reminder that, if you're able, get a good night's rest!! :) The choice between an extra hour of study and an extra hour of sleep is starting to feel easier for me to make. Last night while I was dreaming, I was actually explaining to a friend something I had learned about in the Loophole earlier that day haha.

I've been printing out my PTs and Problem Sets and notating most everything by hand (mimicking the notating that JY does during the lessons) but I'm wondering if I'm doing myself a disservice, seeing that the current LSAT is being administered online. I don't plan on taking the test until next year so wondering if anyone has any thoughts on notating in their heads for online study and/or what other methods you are using that might be helpful.

Hi all,

Just seeking thoughts regarding a score drop --

I had a pretty steady improvement in my scores (started at 164, climbed to 180) and had my best week ~2 weeks ago when I scored 175, 177, & 180... Since then I've scored 171, 171, 172, & 171 and am panicking a little. Has anyone else experienced anything similar?

I'll be taking the April Flex and I'm currently scoring on average a 166/167 with a high of 174 and a low of 161. Any advice on stabilizing this fluctuation and closing the BR gap?

PT84: 164/173

PT76: 167/178

PTC2: 163/171

PT75: 161/171

PT73: 173/175

PT72: 166/172

Breakdown for LR: I was going -3 in the mid-late PT60s, but once I got to the PT70s, it dropped to -5 (PT84 was also a -5). Under timed, I allow myself to miss two or three questions and force myself not to sink time on those questions that I'll most likely miss anyway. Asides from solidifying my fundamentals, are there ways to improve my procedural strategies? Currently I make three columns: left column is for the questions that I'm 80% confident of and most likely won't come back for round 2, middle column is for the questions that I'm 60% or 70% confident but with a bit more time I can increase it to 70% or 80% so these are the questions I prioritize on round 2, and right column is for the curvebreakers. On average, I have 5 min for round 2 but I feel that I'm not making the most out of it. I'm working on boosting my confidence as I go through the first 15 questions but I still make mistakes that have nothing to do with my understanding of the material but just a case of anxiety, though it's more likely the case that I'll miss a question or two in April due to nerves.

Breakdown for LG: I always go -0 on BR but rarely under timed. I'm least comfortable with hybrid grouping games that are open-ended which means I take longer on setup and even longer in the questions when I didn't make an inference but at that point I'm on autopilot brute force mode. Rule substitution questions can be rough too. Currently plateauing at -2/-3 and sometimes worse for those oddball games. I feel most confident in LG though wishing there's a way to get to -0 because gaining those 2 to 3 points back can be a gamechanger.

Breakdown for RC: my scores fluctuate the most (-4 to -11) and I always feel rushed and on high alert. Currently at -6/-7 timed and -3 BR on average which seems to me that I could benefit from more efficient timing strategies.

I used to write down structural low res when I first started PTing but it was taking too long though it did reinforce good habits. Now I pause and connect anything of significance to previous sentences/paragraphs/ideas/etc and try not to get too bogged down with the detail but just know where those detail are located in case a detail-specific question comes along. I'm least comfortable with comparative passages and I often take at least 4 min to read both. Doing piecemeal analysis helps, and taking a second to digest densely worded question stems helps put me in attack mode rather than letting the ACs sway me.

My goal is to hit the high 160s/low 170s consistently and confidently going into April but it feels that I'm getting nowhere with a large BR gap (and I've taken 20+ PTs and retook 10+).

Any advice is appreciated!

After months of PT-ing over 170/175, I took the January lsat and scored a 168. I've already signed up for April but I'm unsure of what to study now?

I've been consistently going -0 on LG, and I got several 180s in December. I honestly have no idea what happened in January, because I felt really confident going out of the test. I'm pretty strong in LR and my reading could be better, but I'm still only going around -3.

I have a pretty low gpa, and really want a 175+. Does anyone have recommendations?

So after you have finished one of the sections, or the 35 mins is up, does it immediately jump to the next section? Do you have to click the next section to start it like in our practice tests? Does the time immediately begin for the next section when the 35 mins is up or is there like a 1 minute window to start the next section?

Hi all,

Trying to game out the financials of retaking the LSAT in the summer. I've gamed out that it'll cost about $150 for continued prep materials and an additional $200 for registering. However, that's only an expense I can justify if I'm confident I can score at least 2 points higher than my Jan LSAT score.

My big question is about LSAT refunds. LSAC says the refund for withdrawing from the LSAT by the deadline is a partial deadline but it doesn't say how much. Does anyone know?

I understand the other option is to reschedule the test but that only works if I think another month of prep will get me where I need to be.

Thanks in advance!

I wanted to gauge an unscientific poll. Let's say you graduated law school and graduated at the top of your class and you pass the bar exam at the top scorers. Let's say you had a big bankroll to support you for the rest of your life, and you still yearn to practice law regardless how much dinero you had.

I will start. I will say country lawyer for myself where I don't have the stress of living in the city and serve the same clients in a small town. Go ahead and post your opinion. There are no right or wrong answers.

website keeps crashing... anyone else experiencing this?

Hello everyone!!

I am offering free LG tutoring. DM if you are interested.

I didn't use 7sage prior but have heard great things so I finally decided to take the plunge. I have great foundation but I really need to hone in my skills and timing stratagies. What's the best way to use this resource?

What is "confirmantion letter"?

When do they upload it?

Is it a letter that tells us which test test center we are assigned to?

It says "granted" on the other letter they uploaded, but it also says they will send/upload cinfirmation letter...what is this?

Thanks,

Contemplating taking on studying as a full time gig, or at minimum reducing my hours at work, but I want to see how many users out there feel they are able to fulfill study goals while working FT!

I'm still going through 7sage material, but I'm not seeing much of an improvement in my regular score/BR score. I've been studying 7sage material almost every day since November, but for some reason when I sit to take a full test it's not sticking. (I had been using other studying materials before 7sage since July)

When I practice a few questions at a time, it's easier for me to get them right, but not a whole section.

Am I doing something wrong? I'm going through the core curriculum + taking one PT every 2 weeks. I BR the next day + review and log each question I'm getting wrong. LR is easily my most difficult section, then RC, then LG.

Is it better to focus on a question type for a couple of weeks and then move on? Or focus on a question type for a couple of days and incorporate it the more question types I learn? I feel like I get a good grasp of a question type, and move on just to get them wrong on the PTs I take and I don't know why. I'm re-watching lessons as well, but I feel like I'm not studying smart and there's a better approach. Any advice would be much appreciated.

I see the dates up until April.... but please tell me they're still going to administer after April?!

After taking the LSAT for a third time and getting a stagnant score. I decided to take the test again in april aiming for fall admission still. Any advice?

Let me be clear, my study schedule was not at all rigorous. I was busy getting my ass handed to me by my finance and accounting classes but what helped me the most on every section of this God forsaken exam was that I ANTICIPATED EVERY SINGLE ANSWER CHOICE. Whether it be a sequencing game or a weakening question, in my head I thought of what the answer would be before going to the answer choices.

I used to let the answer choices feed me but trust me that's what the LSAT wants you to do. Don't do it, come up with your own answer even if it is not even close to the right answer. Coming up with your own answers shows that you actually understand the question.

Good luck to everyone beginning or continuing their LSAT journey.

When I take a lot of time and take a lot of breaks, I'll score easily at 90%+. But once I have to focus in and spend the full three hours on the test, it's like my brain just can't handle focusing for that long and everything starts to glaze over. I'll even see this pattern in the test results... I'll start the test by getting mostly correct answers, then the further into the test I get, I start missing everything because my mind has completely lost focus. I make careless mistakes and have a hard time understanding the passages because my brain is just... tired.

For context, I also have PTSD and an associated dissociative disorder. Losing focus happens for me all the time. Almost like ADHD, but not quite.

Any tips on how to increase my attention span? I feel like this is the main thing holding me back from the score I want!

I've gone through the LSAC requirements and candidate agreement thoroughly. I've taken an online proctored test in a different educational area before and they strictly prohibited mouthing while reading or reading out loud during the test. I tend to do this as I'm reading. Are there any restrictions on this during the test that would cause a problem or for my test to be flagged if I do this during the flex?

I am wondering if LSAC pushes the harder versions of the test to later dates. For instance, if there are three testing dates available for February's FLEX, would the harder version be seen during one of the later testing dates?

Is there one place on 7Sage where you can find all the recordings of anonymous people working questions from above the pencil and paper, with JY’s commentary? #help Or are there just two?

Looking for an affordable LR tutor on East Coast, maybe another person who's studying but excels in this section

I took a major dip from my last 5 PTs and overall PT average when I wrote in January (166). I've decided to retake. I feel like my fundamentals are solid (usually BR 178 or higher), but my strategy could definitely use some tweaking.

I'm a perfectionist. I've heard repeatedly that the best way to tackle LR and RC is by skipping questions and coming back to them. For whatever reason, I just can't seem to trust this strategy under timed conditions. I usually finish both sections with a minute or two left on PTs, but on test day I seem to second guess myself far more and my focus tends to break more easily (which is another issue altogether).

How do you know when to skip a question in LR and RC? How do you train yourself to feel confident in doing so?

Ive been studying for the lsat since August my score has not improved one bit. I started 7sage in november and felt as though things were finally clicking.. i think i do well when i am practicing but when i write under timed conditions i do awful. I dont think its about working on just my timing either cause im not even understanding what im doing when its all jumbled into the test. Should i give up? I cant even hit 150 after all this time studying... i feel so defeated.
