"I'm signed up to take the LSAT in January, and as a professor at a community college now, we're already seeing how things are changing as time goes on. To this end, I'm also seeing how more and more LSATs are being offered in "flex" format. Given this, are there any changes we need to be making regarding our study schedule relative to the types of questions? I only ask, because if they are cutting 2 sections of the test from 5 down to three - that's a lot less margin for error, and a far greater opportunity for the exam to be focused - in other words, previously with 5 sections, there was a strong impetus to focus on LR. Now with three sections - does that shift the burden as there are less LR (Strengthening/Weakening, etc.), from LR to a greater need to focus on Logic Games and Reading Comp.? I know this may be convoluted, and possibly seen as trying to go the cheap way out - but it is asked in sincerity as to make the best use of 7sage resources, and to focus on getting to LG, which I know is my biggest, ugliest, horrible, weak spot.

On some of these exercises I’m improving to 4/5, on the previous set however, SA, it’s a total loss. I’m wondering just how much of the LSAT is going to be comprised of SA. I have literally spent two weeks trying to understand this, going back and listening and re-listening to JY and it is not taking, so I’m beginning to feel that I’m spending WAY too much time on this vs other huge problem areas like logic games. Taking in January. What are your thoughts?"

So I normally have no trouble sending the prep tests as a PDF to apps such as noteability or one note to take digitally and underline/ highlight easily but recently I have not been able to save the PDF of these files. Any help?

With less than two weeks left until November Flex deadline, my past 10 practice tests can range from 151-164.

Should I write for November or January LSAT? Or write both? I wrote the LSAT twice back in 2018 and received low scores as I underestimated this test. I would like to attend law school in Fall 2021 and looking at state tier schools in CA with medians ranging from low 150s-low160s.

Hi,

Just wondering if any 7sagers have taken the test, whether the font was any different from simulations or if navigating was at all breezy or confounding. During my one in-person test, reflections from lights on the pad were distracting, I found highlighting harder, and navigating could take multiple screen presses. Thanks!

Let me know!

I’m taking the October LSAT which is less than a month away and I am wondering if what I have planned will be a good use of my time or if I should make some changes. I’m planning on taking the rest of this week to review, and then taking PT 68-73 before the test. Should I schedule more PTs? I just scored 160 for the first time and am hoping to get my score up to a 165. I’m also taking the November LSAT so I also want to have PTs left over to practice before that test. Any advice would be appreciated

Does anyone know how many answers you can get incorrect to get a 165 on Flex?

Wanted to share my nightmare Proctor U experience I had on 8/30. I’m curious if this has been happening to other test takers, what action other test takers have taken in these situations, any advice on the matter, etc.

What happened:

I then had to suddenly pick back up where I left off, & try to finish LG after expending considerable energy & stress - on top of the cumulative fatigue from the other 2 test sections - to figure out why my exam had suddenly stopped, a task made even more difficult by unresponsive & incompetent proctors.

And this wasn’t the only incident that took place…

As a whole, this is extremely disheartening as I felt I was at my peak preparedness, felt confident on exam day, & these incidents took away much of that confidence & definitely hindered my ability to succeed on the exam. I anxiously await September18th score release…

Has anyone had similar experiences? How did you proceed?

I’m hoping for them to accelerate releasing my score, because if I find out I scored lower than I’d like, I'd asked to be registered for the next exam at no cost due to ProctorU's flop. Open to any & all ideas

Does anyone know why LSAC doesn't release unofficial number of right answers at the end of the test? Presumably the system can calculate it on the fly, right? This could be followed by the actual score on the release date.

If anyone can't tell Sep 18 can't come fast enough for me lol

Hi guys, so I took the August flex on 9/2 and planned on completed the writing sample a couple days after. However, due to the heat wave, my internet has been spotty for the past few days. So I delayed it and plan on taking it tomorrow (9/9) no matter what. I am just a bit worried that because I am submitting the writing sample 10 days prior to score release that it will affect when I get my score. Has anyone taken the other flex exams and submitted your writing sample later? Did you experience any score release delays? I know there's a disclaimer on LSAC that says they generally process writing samples within a week, but it could take up to 3 weeks... So I am not sure what to think.

After you go through your blind review and are 100% sure of the right and wrong answers, do you watch videos of the answers you got right and were 100% sure about?

Basically do you watch all of JY's explanation videos after Blind review even if you were confident in your reasoning of the answer choices and answered the question correctly?

Also, I will say if I'm unsure about any question or I got it wrong I watch the explanation videos.

Thank you! Just want to make sure I'm getting the most out of my blind reviews!

Hey Guys,

When taking the LSAT multiple times, if three scores are in the 140s and the fourth one is in the 160s low 170s with 7 months in between scores, will schools flag it or request an addendum or does it not matter?

Thank you in advance for the answers!

How crucial is it to have the most recent PTs in Digital format? I have some PTs in paper form. And I still have a good amount of PT material left from my current 7Sage material.

Good Afternoon!

I previously took the LSAT last August and received a 166 and am signed up to take the LSAT again on October 3rd. I want to improve my score to ensure I get into the schools I want, but if I dont end up improving my score it's not the end of the world for me as I'll probably still get in. I wanted to post and get some advice on where to foucs my efforts leading up to the test. I only have about 15 hours a week or so to spend preparing as I'm also taking a heavy course load in school.

I know that logic games are my weakest section so I plan to spend the majority of my time on improving here. I also see that if I do the whole logic games section in 7sage it will take me upwards of 40 hours so I'm not sure if it's worth it to follow the whole ciriculum here. I would like to also spend a decent chunk of my time doing practice tests + some focused learning on the other sections.

So I'm wondering what people think is the best use of my time considering the limited time I have. Any feedback is apprecaited!

If I decide to take some time off from studying (1+ months) and cancel my 7Sage subscription, then later resume both studying and the subscription payment, will my progress be saved or will my 7Sage account start back from the beginning?

Hello. How screwed am i? My diagnostic was 150, and im booked for October LSAT. I can dedicate about 30-40 hours a week until my test date. Im only done 33.9% of the 7sage core curriculum. is this feasible? what is the best strategy?

I’ve been studying for the Lsat for about a month and a half now and feel like I have a lot of improvements to make. Should I sign up for the November Lsat just because it’s a flex? Should I try? Not aiming for a top 40 law school.

I don’t want to risk waiting until January to then find out the lsat will be back to normal

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I'm struggling to make up a large gap between timed test scores and blind review test scores. I have been scoring in the high 150s on timed tests and blind reviewing into the low 170s. Others posting in the forums do not seem to have such a large gap.

I thought doing more full timed tests to practice with the timing would help, but over 7-8 tests I have not seen any improvements. The gap is largely made up in LR and RC. Any suggestions? Would greatly appreciate any help!

hello, i recently switched over from Powerscore and the 7sage interface is quite different. I'm trying to take a practice test (digital) now but I can't figure out how to underline / highlight. any help would be appreciated. thanks!

edit: i already cleared my cache and my digital tester looks different than the version i have seen in other explanations on this forum

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?
