Hi everyone,

So I took the flex yesterday and I am shocked at how underwhelmed I am.

Going in I was averaging around 159/160, and was generally feeling great in LR and RC, but still weak in games.

On the flex I did well on the games (by my standards) and then for some reason I couldn't get into shape for LR and RC (missed a whole passage) and I've no idea what happened.

At this point I will be content to score anything above my 154 from August.

I am applying to Canadian schools (in access category at most) with around a 3.7 gpa and I don't know whether I should keep studying full-time until the Jan Flex, or to go find a full-time job and study on the side.

Saving money for law school sounds nice, but one must get in for that to be relevant and I'm going to be borderline.

I appreciate any help really.

will LSAC reset my writing if I accidentally opened on Safari or am I screwed? I JUST had the writing reset (after opening it correctly and doing EVERYTHING right I was kicked out due to the proctor's server error) and I am worried they won't reset it again due to my own error. I made a mistake just out of stress and wanting to get it done in a timely fashion after the super frustrating PSI error and I am now just panicking...... I sent LSAC an online request but am considering also calling them first thing in the morning and begging for forgiveness.......

Does anyone know if 7sage provides question sets that are all set up the same way/have patterns that are commonly used within the LSAT?

I recently subscribed and mostly see political articles.

Any other reading materials besides Biden, Trump, and Coronavrius?

I plan to apply next cycle. I took the test for the first time in August, panic registered for November, got my score (mid-160s), and then had to postpone to January due to a professional conflict. I haven't looked at a PT or logic game since score release. Ironically, I got my highest ever PT score after score release, 172, so I know I'm capable of doing better than I did on test day, especially if I grind hard over the next two months. And hopefully if they get some technical issues taken care of by then because I know for a fact some of the proctoru struggles negatively impacted my score. My GPA is decent, it's right around the current medians for most of the schools I'm interested in but I have several withdrawals on my transcript due to a medical condition that went undiagnosed virtually all of undergrad, so I know even with an addendum explaining that I've since received a diagnosis and have it under complete control, some eyebrows are understandably going to be raised. I'm hoping a high LSAT score will offset at least some of the concerns admissions committees may have. But I also know a mid-160s is at or above medians if not 75th percentiles for several schools I'm interested in. I'm also chasing money because I do NOT want to pay sticker wherever I end up going. And I think the money concern is part of why I'm hesitating because I can't get my money back at this point if I do withdraw because I was originally registered for November, I assume.

As an extra layer of fun, I work full-time in the field of law I want to eventually practice and I've just applied for two jobs that would in essence be promotions if I received them. If I received one in particular, I'd essentially need to stay in the job for 3 years to really get as much benefit as possible, financially as well as professionally. I know LSAT scores are good for a few years so I'm not worried about that at all, it's more of a question of if I get either of these jobs my plate will get much fuller because I'll either be learning a whole new sector of my field or I'll have increased responsibility within the office compared to what I have now.

So what do you guys recommend? Sticking with January and just grinding for two months? Postpone until February/later? Or just withdrawing and counting myself extremely lucky to have done as well as I did on my first shot?

Does anyone have any tips or any recommendations on how to approach the LSAT Writing section? I don't know what to expect at all

Greetings,

I'm taking the November LSAT FLEX on Wednesday. Originally my score was at 141but my score gradually increased over the passed couple of months. I've been stuck at 153 since the end of September, however, I have a strong feeling that I would be able to score higher if I learned to became more comfortable with the time constraints. I went from taking prep test every week to almost everyday along with other forms of timed and mastery practice. I am a person who in general has issues with anxiety. I am currently three days away from taking my LSAT test and I am experiencing a major reoccurring problem. For the past two weeks, I've been experiencing the inability to finish my test due to panic. I usually start to become frustrated and unfocused to the point where I'm unable to regain my focus enough to answer the remaining questions ( I was not experiencing this problem up until the last week of October).

I'm not sure if I'm burnt out to the point where it escalating my anxiety or if it's another underlying reason. I am hoping I can receive advice on what I should do from this point.#HELP

Edit: Closed while I go through responses. Will update if I can take on more.

I think I've responded to everyone. If I missed you please shoot me another message.

As opposed to bumping my last post, I'm making a new one as people's situations change fairly quickly with regard to this test.

Am looking to tutor 1-2 people at no cost. My only requirement is that you have finished the CC lessons (not necessarily all the problem sets), or some other course and are currently PT'ing.

I benefited a lot from just a few lessons with a couple tutors here, and would like to help someone else while hopefully refining my own approach to this test. Please take a look at my post history here and see if you think I might be able to help you. Obviously fit is important, so I want to make sure what I can offer will help you (and by extension help me!).

If interested please post in this thread then send me a DM as well... I use both to keep track of order and comms. Also please try not to flake... doing this for free here because this community is great and I've benefited from it immensely, but am also dividing my time between other platforms to try and make some $ to offset the covid related lack of teaching jobs right now.

One time sessions and ongoing arrangement are both fine. We can start as soon as today! Will maintain this post with pertinent updates.

Do yo time yourself when doing the problem sets in the CC? And do you throughly BR the problem sets?

I am already familiar with the LSAT as I've taken it before but I'm trying to go through the CC as if I know nothing. As of right now I've been doing the problem sets untimed and instead of BR after, for each question in the set I say or circle why the AC is wrong and why the answer choice is right. So I sort of do a quick BR while doing the questions untimed if that makes sense. Since I am familiar with the test already the problem sets I have done (I've only gone through two) have been the easiest ones so BR just seemed pointless as I was 100% confident in the answer choices. But...I also wasn't timing myself. Since I'm not too far along if I'm doing this completely wrong I want to change my ways now versus later!

Hi 7Sagers, due to ProctorU issues, I wasn't able to even start my Nov Flex today (Wednesday). I spoke to around 8 ProctorU and LSAC agents since my scheduled time regarding this, and I am currently awaiting approval to take a rescheduled Flex on Friday. LSAC said that I'd probably get an approval and that, if so, they'd email me by tomorrow afternoon. However, I am worried that another technical disaster would happen to me on my device even if I retake on Friday. Yesterday, I did a thorough system check with a technician for my test, and I was told that my device was all set. Yet that ended up not being the case today. So, would there be anyone in or near Toronto who has successfully completed their November LSAT Flex and would be willing to lend me the device that they used during that test? I would really appreciate it if I could please borrow your device sometime tomorrow. In return, I will buy you food or maybe a gift card, whichever you feel is appropriate! Thank you so much for considering! :)

Its driving me crazy. how do i register for the score preview? Where do i go to pay for it/purchase it? Lsac site is useless. i just got done with my november flex

I don't know if this is common knowledge but I just wanted to share if it isn't. I take digital notes and I didn't like writing down all the sentences when taking a quiz. For example, while doing the logic group 1 and group 2 translations quizzes. So I downloaded an extension called Web Paint that allows me to underline, draw, paint, etc. the examples on the web page instead of physically writing all of the sentences and working through them on paper. I think this has saved me a lot of time. If this sounds confusing then let me know and I'll further explain what I mean.

Hello everyone. In 2014, I graduated with degrees in Philosophy and Political Science, respectively. The following year, in 2015, I was diagnosed with high-functioning autism. This diagnosis helped explain some of the problems I encountered while I was an undergrad. Now, I have been really struggling with focus as it applies to studying for the LSAT, primarily due to my high-functioning autism. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, as well as what strategies have helped you to focus better. Thanks!

Anyone from hell's kitchen in nyc?

I am not scoring where I want to be and my exam is in two hours. I am thinking of just withdrawing and not showing up, I know it doesn't go on my record... I would have to take the January exam. I have taken the LSAT twice before and I wasn't too prepared so I did poorly. I don't know if I should try it again today, and in January, but that'll be four times that I have taken it. How bad would that look? I am freaking out lol. I am applying to schools in LA, the January exam is the latest they accept. Ahhhh idk what to do

Now that the 2020 election is (mostly) behind us, I wanted to share how LR has completely taken over my life. On election night, I couldn't stop thinking about sufficiency vs necessity. Some pundits and social media users were freaking out about one state in particular -- Florida. I'm not a poli-sci guy, but if you understand the electoral college you'll know the following two conditionals are pretty close to accurate:

But D didn't win Florida, so can we conclude that D won't win the election? NO! What about WI, MI, & PA? Not to mention, there's also AZ and GA. I believe many people confused sufficiency and necessity. D failed the sufficient condition. We can't conclude anything else about D. (Bonus Point Flaw: Florida may be an unrepresentative sample of the general electorate).

R won Florida, so can we conclude that R will win the election? NO! Once again, the sufficiency-necessity error. R needed to win Florida to have a shot at 270 electoral votes. Winning the state certainly helps R's chances, but it doesn't guarantee a victory.

Where can I prepare for the writing section? On 7sage? On Lawhub? Thanks.

Say I retake the LSAT writing for November flex, with an approved writing sample already on file from a previous exam -- if, by the time November flex scores are released, submission for the retaken LSAT writing is still pending, could that affect my score release?

I'm told that as long as I have an approved writing sample from the past year I will be able to view subsequent scores without delay, but I was wondering if having a pending writing sample in addition to an approved writing sample could potentially impede that process.

Thank you!

Hello everyone,

I am looking for a LSAT tutor for the upcoming January test. For both October and November test, I have been PT (of all ranges) around high 160s, and blank out so hard on the actual test that I leave 5-7 questions blank per section. Thus, I am looking around for LSAT tutors to help me diagnose what is happening. 

Thanks in advance for any response!

[I am posting on behalf of a 7Sage user. Please feel free to leave your comments below. Thank you for your help!]

"I am reviewing the writing prompt from LSAT 84 and I am a little confused. For this prompt, am I arguing for one bullet point and either the Canton or the Fuller space? Or, both bullet points and the either the Canton or Fuller space? I’m just curious because I read one writing response in which the test taker argued for the two bullet points and only one of the following points (i.e. Canton or Fuller).

I am aware I need to point out the strengths and the weaknesses in my argument, and the exact same in the opposing argument, while reaffirming my argument in end."

Can we go to the bathroom during the 1 min break? If we really need to...
