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?
Hi I am taking the Nov. LSAT and I was just wondering how to create a Proctor U account? Does LSAC send you info on how to create an account? I was just trying to make sure my computer had everything it needed before the test but when I go to Proctor U and try to test it out I need to log in? I don't have an account and if I try to register under "LSAC" for the institution it does not let me. Just wondering if anyone knew anything. I called Proctor U and they said I have to call LSAC. I have been on hold for about 30 minutes and no one has picked up. Any help would be great!! Thanks
Hi everyone,
I've been practice testing in the 155-157 range for a couple of weeks now and my goal score is mid 160's for November. Any tips you guys can share would be greatly appreciated .
Thank you.
Hey everyone. Trying to do a timed section post-flex. Is this possible on 7Sage? Thanks!
Hi all, I was wondering what are some KEY lessons/videos/sections in the syllabus that I should definitely watch to help keep my mind refreshed and alert for the types of questions or important relationships that are constantly seen in the LSAT. I'm fairly new to the 7sage curriculum (I finished the LSAT Trainer curriculum) and I don't have time to watch all the videos by 7sage even if I want to.
I hope this makes sense, thank you so much in advance!!
...are the facts in the LR questions and RC passages true? I keep telling my friends fun facts that I learn from LSAT practice and I want to be sure I'm not spreading fake news. Of course I know I need to account for context, time of publishing, and writer opinion.
Can anyone who has already taken the LSAT Flex explain the scratch paper situation? I ask primarily because a friend who just took the GRE said she was told by one of our other friends that she had to use a white board (to prove all test material was erased) before the end of the test, and this ended up being true for her on test day with no advanced notice from official test services. I know GRE is different, but I just want to be 1000% sure I'm prepared with everything I need for the November test. Thanks in advance!
