Does anyone know if it's likely that the October LSAT will be LSAT Flex? Also for LSAT Flex, are you allowed to use scrap paper for reading comp notes since you can't really annotate on the computer besides highlighting?

I took the July Flex test and scored a 167. I was pretty nervous, so I think I had a harder time than I would on my PTs but I was generally scoring between 166-171. My goal score was a 168/169 to hit the medians at most of the schools I'm looking at and a170 for my reaches. I plan on applying in early October so I'd need to take the test again in about a month (August) to get my applications in. Is it worth the time I would spend studying for a couple more points (and the stress of only having a month to study) or should I focus on other parts of my application? I have a 4.1 GPA and am looking at T20 schools.

I've been doing straight PTs/BRing for about a month now. I'm planning on taking the August test so am now taking tests from the 72-81 range and then will take some newer ones after that. I've been really struggling with the tests in this range. I've been averaging 169-172, but now I've gotten several scores in the 164-167 range. I'm looking for advice on how to get out of this slump and get back to my normal range especially since I want to score 170+ on test day. Any advice would be appreciated!!

I can't decide whether or not to sign up for the October LSAT. I got my July FLEX scores back today and I made a 155. However, I was aiming for a 160+ as I was PT-ing in the 160-162 range. Do you think it is worth retaking? My top choice has a 158 median score. Additionally, would I be able to improve that much till October? Please send any tips you can my way. Additionally, since October results won't come back until about Mid-October, is that considered too late to apply? I don't want to lose a spot because of something like this.

Thanks

Hi,

Since the update to 7sage on Tuesday, I have no longer been able to access course or any materials other than discussion board and grader from the app via iPad. Anyone else having this issue? Please advise.

Thank you.

Don't get me wrong, I'm really happy about my score and I'm aware it's above the median for my target schools (Columbia, Harvard, Penn, NYU) but my GPA is weak (3.6 from an Ivy, not in the sciences). I did do an honors thesis, though I'm not sure how much that even counts for and I've been working already for four years if that's a plus.

This is my third time taking the lsat - first round I choked in September during the infamous flowers game and came out with a 164 and second time was the June flex and I had technical difficulties but still released my score to get a sense of how I did on the other sections.

I'm currently signed up for August but I'm debating whether it's risky to retake?? I have been PTing 173-178 consistently but not sure if it's worth it. Do I have a decent chance of getting into my target schools with my score/GPA?

I noticed that when I add up the elapsed time for each individual question of LR sections after taking a them on 7 sage (times are available under the results page) they do not add up to the time allotted for the section (34:40/26 questions). Instead, it comes to 29 minutes or so. Is the timing section under the results page reliable?

Anyone else following this thread on Reddit? Apparently LSAC called a few people today (the day before scores are released...) who took the July Flex to tell them that their score “got lost”. I’m registered for August and am considering a move to October since there’s a coupon. What’re your thoughts?

Hi, I'm trying to re-take a PT I did several months ago on the 7sage app. Is there a way to re-take the PT without deleting my data from my initial take? (Similar to how you can make a clean version of the same problem set)

Any input/feedback on my approach of how to close the gap between my last four timed PTs (172, 172, 168, 168) and their associated BR scores (176, 176, 177, 177) would be much appreciated.

Timing (and also confidence in my timing) has seemed to be a big issue in RC. To mitigate this I have been doing full fresh RC sections and redoing full-RC sections (1 of each/day). I’ve been doing this for ~week now and am now much more comfortable with an full RC section. I plan to continue to just do this. And also thoroughly analyze the mistakes I make in both my repeat and fresh sections. My BR for a fresh RC section is typically -3 to -1 but seems to be a downward trend which is good so I think I’m making gains in accuracy as well.

Timing in LR is sometimes okay and sometimes not. It just seems that when I’m in a good section I can have up to 8 minutes left after giving each question an attempt. Other sections I only have 5. I don’t think I have a particular weak point in terms of a question type so my strategy here is to just get into a rhythm with taking PTs and really BR and analyze any question that gives me trouble. I don’t know if doing LR sections would be super beneficial to practice timing since it seems that my speed just tends to correlate with how good I feel in the questions. I typically make 1-2 mistake I feel like I could have avoided and fall for 2-3 curve breakers.

LG has been pretty consistent with usually -1 or -2. I never get a question wrong when I blind review the games (which I just do timed a second time) so I’m hypothesizing my issue to be with the initial setup. Also, I find that I can just make stupid mistakes (like not manipulating symbols correctly in my head). My goal here is to just continue to full-proof LGs and do full LG sets such that my speed in making inferences allows me to “buy” extra time in working out the questions so that I don’t feel as under pressure or can even write more things out. Also, after every game I think I am going to take a second and reflect on what aspects of the game mandated that specific setup; hopefully that will give me a greater comfortability in setting up a new game.

I’ve taken about 10PTs and have been studying for 6 months. Any feedback or comments from the other side if you were in a similar spot and how long it took you to reach your goal would be greatly appreciated!

I started with a 152 diagnostic, and after four months, my score has fluxed between 157-162, mostly at 158-160. I need a 165 on the August LSAT, and I just feel like even though I have been working my butt off, it hasn't paid off. I feel so defeated. My biggest problem right now is Reading Comp, (-11 whereas LR is near -4 and LG hover around -5 or -6) even though it use to be my best section.

Does anyone have any tips on helping improve reading comp? I would be so happy if I could get it down to -5 or even -4

Hey guys, I was just wondering

  • Do you think October will be flex?
  • Was there anything that surprised you about flex? Was the format the same as law hub? Did anyone have any issues?
  • Any info you can provide about flex would be much appreciated just so people can know as much as possible before test day, thank you!

    Sorry if this has been asked before, I'm wondering if there is a way to view the question types analytics so I can see my accuracy changes over time depending on the PT. I'm trying to see if there is improvement on certain question types. Currently on my analytics it shows RRE as highest priority but that is over 10 questions and none of the 4 most recent I have gotten wrong. So I don't think that is actually an issue anymore. However, I want to make sure there are no question types that I have failed to improve on or if there are I want to be able to easily locate those types. Thanks in advance!

    I'm having a bit of trouble inputting my new answers (after preptest BR) into the answer sheet- without deleting the original answers. I know there's an option to see how you do before and after BR, I just can't seem to figure out how to do it.

    Anyone know how I can do this?

    How likely do folks think it is that the October LSAT will end up being a Flex exam? I'm in Florida where the COVID situation is really bad and I don't anticipate it getting better any time soon. I'm worried that LSAC will require it be in person and if that's the case I don't think I feel comfortable given the high level of cases in FL.

    If you are finished with undergrad, and you are applying Fall 2021, and you want to apply early, do NOT procrastinate submitting your transcripts to the CAS. I have been waiting for three weeks on my academic report and UGPA calculation. I am sure it will all get sorted out, but I would hate for anyone to be starting this process mid-September and waiting for this to come through.
