I'm scoring -0 ~ -3 on LG

but havent done any RC passages and am scoring -8 ~ -12 on LR so I don't think I'm ready for Nov even though I want to take the FLex.

What do you think are the chances that Jan will be a Flex??

I just got a popup that said something along the lines of "Wooo you broke the 170s barrier that's amazeballs" from JY. Is this an automated message that everyone gets, or was it personalized? I accidentally navigated away from the page and cannot find any way to see this again/respond. Does anyone else know?

Hello! I think this is something for the admins to handle, not sure where to post...

I took PT 86 on lawhub and in inputting my responses into the 7sage system, noticed that in the RC section, the final question (q 27) is missing. The question is "Given the information provided in the passage, which one of the following principles would most hep support Carrol and Chen's innovative argument, described in the fourth paragraph?" Currently the PT only has 26 RC questions on 7sage.

soooo I did the writing, and forgot to show my paper during room scan, might have even missed half of my desk too tbh but I don't remember, and realized I forgot after I started writing on it...so I thought it would be late to show them then. Is this a major problem? lol...

So I took the LSAT flex last week and I didn't feel terrible after. I thought that was a good sign considering I am someone who generally thinks of the worst case scenario (I never expect to do well and always anticipate worse than I actually did). However, my brain started over-thinking about my performance. Now, I'm worried that I didn't perform well and am anxiously waiting for scores to come out. I'm sure everyone deals with this to a degree, but I am just a super anxious and pessimistic person in general. So it's a bit hard for me to get my mind off the exam even though I know there's nothing I can do about it now. Any tips on maintaining a positive mindset? I feel like I'm spiraling lol

I don't want to do the complete test, I just want to do the timed individual section (for example I to drill all logic games from a certain PT) and then review just that section rather than the full test?

Since it's a flex exam, are international students allowed to take the November flex? Have people done this in the past with flex tests offered only in the U.S. and Canada?

Any guidance appreciated.

Hey everyone. I’m wondering if I should register to take the November flex. I recently finished the CC and scored a 169 on my first PT with LG as my weakest section. My goal score is 173+ so I am unsure if it is worth registering now or putting off my test date.

I don’t plan on applying for a while so I am not pressured in this way. However, I do feel that the flex is easier as it does not require as much endurance. For this reason, I feel slightly compelled to try the November test in case the flex is phased out afterwards.

Do you think I should register now or delay until a later date?

Hi all,

I'm wondering how many months of doing PTs is optimal before taking the official test for the first time.

I've been doing PTs for a month now...

149 diagnostic pre-CC, 157 post-CC, plateaued around 165, then the past three PTs (36,38,40) I've gotten 178, 167, 169.

Biggest weakness is LG, averaging -4/test.

Goal is to break 173.

I haven’t been doing BR because when I’m done with a PT I’m anxious to see my score. But I want to improve as much as possible and was wondering if there is a significant benefit to doing BR

Hello,

I'm currently trying to break 150. My diagnostic scores range from 134-147. I've made A LOT of progress with my scores since the beginning of this journey (my lowest score has been in the 20's LOL). Anyway, I think that I might not be doing the BR properly. I recently took a first PT Flex and had a score drop to 142. To be fair I haven't finished ALL of the LR section because it was getting really long so I took a "break" and moved onto LG. I will be going back of course. What tips do you suggest for an effective BR? What techniques have you used that work for you? I'm looking to take the LSAT in January and hoping to score around 150/155+.

hi guys!

i tried to take my LSAT writing yesterday (i took the august test) and i accidentally closed it out, so they reset the link today. and then i started today, i had a paragraph written and i got a notification that said recording stopped due to network failure (which was weird bc my wifi was working fine) and then i clicked close bc i didnt know what else to do and kept going, and then a few seconds later psi just shut down and kicked me out and now it says ive completed it on my lsac account. THIS IS SO ANNOYING and ive been on hold for 50 minutes, and i didnt even get to destroy my scratch paper or anything bc it was unexpected. god knows if theyre going to be ridiculous about it..i have a feeling im not going to be getting my score back on the 18th LOL since it takes up to 3 weeks to process and now its labor day weekend.

moral of the story; make sure ur 100% good to go in terms of tech and everything before u start the writing and show ur scratch paper at some point in the video bc they never give a specific time to show it. also show ur wrists and hands

sigh

Does anyone have any advice on how to improve on LR and RC? I have improved a little bit, went from -12 to -6 or 7 but I'm not sure what the best way to keep improving is.

Hi all,

So I just took the LSAT writing portion of the test and though I did show my scratch paper in the full room scan, I forgot to show both sides of the paper. Do you think they'll reprimand me for this?

Is there anyone who did the same and still had their sample accepted?

I'd appreciate any feedback here.

Just submitted my writing sample and after I submitted I noticed 3 small typos (like forgetting an "a" somewhere) - how badly will that affect me? I know this section isn't graded but also know that some schools read it in detail...

Hey all! I have always had strong accuracy, but struggled with timing. I am making improvements with speed, especially in the LG section which has historically been my slowest. I am at the point where I usually get 100% (or close to it) on the first three games and then have about 3 minutes left. This is enough time for me to set up my game board but not enough time to get to the questions. I usually do a little better at getting through RC but on my last PT I also on had about 3 minutes left going into the final passage. I read the passage and then ran out of time. Anyone have ideas about how to best use an awkward 3-4 mins on the fourth game or passage? Also, any other time improving strategies overall would be welcome. Thanks!

I'm a dummy and I forgot to take off my watch during the Writing sample and just got a notice that it was disqualified.

Since this is self-proctored I just wanted to remind everyone to take watches off! and also to show both sides of your paper since the automated proctor never prompts you to do that...

Hi guys, so I just took the August flex today. Don't feel particularly good or bad about it so I'm just going to assume that I will probably need to re-take in October or November. For those who took the August flex and are planning to re-take, what are your study schedules like before the next exam? I definitely want to take a short break since I just took the exam, but I also don't want to get too comfortable and not study for the next 3 weeks lol I'm thinking at max, a week off and then back to reviewing the CC, doing problem sets, and taking more PTs

Also, has anyone taken the flex and not the writing sample? I plan on taking the writing portion in a couple of days. Any tips on the writing sample? I know it's not scored, but I still want to write a decent essay since law schools will be reading them.

Would anyone want to exchange help. I am pretty good at LG but i am lacking in LR. I would love to share my LG methods if someone could help me get better at LR or RC.

(without deleting all my answers altogether)

Title says it all

I sent in my accommodation request on August 11th and still haven’t heard back. Should I email LSAC or is it normal for them to take a little bit longer than 14 days?

I’m taking the October test, and I’ve been really focused on getting a lot of PTs in since I’ve only done 9 so far. I’ve been taking 2 PTs per week, with an extra two days dedicated to reviewing my PTs. LG is by far my worst section, I’m averaging -8 (LR -5 RC -6) and it’s really bringing my score down. I foolproof games from previous tests on the days that I don’t PT/review, but I’m not sure if 3 days of foolproofing is enough a week. I’m scared that if I don’t spend enough time focusing on PTing, though, that I won’t get the practice I need before my test. Does anyone have recommendations on how I should distribute my time with a month left to study?

So I have taken the June 2007 Preptest twice. The first time I took it was over a month ago (I didn't know about 7Sage yet) and I just printed it out on paper and completed it on paper. The second time was part of the week 1 7sage schedule and I scored 5 points less, despite about 3 weeks of studying methods from the LSAT Trainer by Mike Kim. Can anyone reassure me that taking the exam/reading on a screen can impact your score if you're used to paper exams and do you have any tips on how to overcome this?

I will be taking the October flex test on my laptop. I'm in the habit of using my L/R arrow keys to jump to the next question in 7Sage, but I am curious if I'll be able to do that on the real thing. (Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I can't find anything about it on the LSAC site.)

Hi guys -

Since the Flex will only count 3 sections (75 questions I'm guessing), do we have an idea of how this scale will work? Roughly, do we know how many can one get wrong in order to still score a 170, 165, 160, etc.

Past Flex-takers, please weigh in if you know anything since you've received your scores!
