I'm a bit new to this and don't know a lot. Is the writing section mandatory? Does it cost money and do you take it the same way as the LSAT (like having a proctor)? Looking for any info! Thanks(:

Hey everyone,

Anyone out there taking the Feb or April LSAT and looking for a study buddy/ acct. partner? I work full-time. Evenings are usually best for me. Please let me know if interested. I really want to do well & need help.

Im torn....the last couple weeks for me have been really rough with covid and family situations. My PTs have been ranging from 152-159. I already have an LSAt score under my belt of a 153. I really need a 161 for my top choice school. Would it be horrible to wait until January? Ive already paid for November but I don't mind loosing the money. I am trying to apply this cycle. tia

Hi people,

I am taking the November FLEX and currently debating on whether to register for the January FLEX. This decision ultimately comes down to whether or not I will have my results before the registration deadline for the January administration (Dec 2nd).

I am wondering if I will actually know my result from the previous exam before the deadline. It seems plausible in this case because typically it takes about 3 weeks to get results, but LSAC being LSAC I would not be surprised if they announced scores on Dec 3rd, forcing me to pay another $300 for an LSAT I may not need to take (YAY LSAC).

Would love to hear what people think about this one.

Just scheduled my time for the flex! Feeling anxious I've been studying while doing school full time and working from home! I'm excited to take the damn thing!! Does anyone have tips for using the restroom. I bought an adult diaper just incase. I wish JY could give us a heartwarming speech before the test!! Regardless I'm going to kill it!! How is everyone feeling?

If you're retaking the LSAT and already have a writing sample on file, do you have to retake the writing section?

If anyone knows that would be helpful! Thanks!

Hi - Can I enter answers for preptest I did on Lawhub for analytics directly without doing the test again? #help

For those of you who participated in the LSAC October forum, did you have your 'why school X' essays with you when you communicated with the schools? (I'm planning on having my PS and notes about what has drawn me to each of the schools versus a drawn-out 'why X' essay. Especially in the event that I decide not to apply to a school!! (Or DO decide to apply to a school) Was it more us talking to them v. them questioning US about what interests us about their program(s)? I'm hoping this forum will allow me to better fine-tune my 'why them' essay with specifics compared to info from their websites. :) Thanks in advance.

I am a little confused because I have been continuously checking the LSAC website to see if there are any updates on the day and time that I will be taking the November Flex Exam. To people who have already taken a Flex Test, when did you find out all the specific details of when you were taking it? We are two weeks away and I figured they would have this information available at this point.

I am currently registered for the Nov test but I think I want to take more time to study and take it in January instead. I’m really confused on how to change the test date on LSAC. Please help!

I have a brand new Mac Air 2020 that I’m planning to use for exam day, bc the other computers in my house are 2015 and older and don’t run as fast.

I saw somewhere that someone had issues with their new Mac which makes me a bit nervous. Just wanted to see what past test takers took their exams on. Or any general tips for a smooth testing day.

I have been practicing with a pen, but on my last practice test I accidentally wrote down a rule wrong. I caught my mistake quickly and scratched it out, but then it tripped me up for the rest of the game because of the visual clutter. What are your thoughts? Should I be using a pencil so I can erase when things like that happen? I know erasing large mistakes can waste time, but what about smaller things like copying down the wrong number in a rule?

I've read through the 7sage approved tutor list thousands of times but i can't pick one because they all seem exactly the same. does anyone have any reviews (good or bad) on any lsat tutor???

Hi guys, it’s my first LSAT (and FLEX) and I was just wondering why APAC region does not support February LSAT despite it being a FLEX version.

Does this mean as long as we’re taking the exam in Asia, we cannot register for it whatsoever (due to tech, IP reasons, etc)?

OR if we could make it to the test based on NA region time (which will be night time + in Asia), could we also just register for the Feb Flex?

Thanks for your help in advance!

Are we allowed to search for various words/sentences during the reading comp section? Since LSAC views our screens, I want to make sure that executing this function will be ok and won't result in being disqualified! People who have confirmed this with LSAC please lmk :)

Want to focus on harder ones so I'm not surprised on test day. I have access to all of them and have taken 82, 81, 79, 78, 76, 70, 69, 66, 54, 18, 17, and J07 (and I took PT 89 when it was a real LSAT administration). Particularly want to challenge myself on Logic Games (my weakest section) but other hard sections are good too. All advice welcome!

I really hate this test. Like I really really do. But I finally beat it! I have three pieces of advice:

On RC, if you are struggling with time or around -5/-7, you're probably going back to the passage way more than you need. Try going back less. You'll save time, but probably not much accuracy.

Chill out on test day! My anxiety DESTROYED me (and my score) on the July exam. Part of my success on the Oct exam was that I had adapted a "f*ck it, what ever happens, happens" attitude after the emotional rollercoaster of the first two exams. I was able to focus on the questions on the test on Oct, instead of worrying about how the test was going while taking it. Try to calm down!

For LR, before July, I was getting -3/-4 purely on intuition. I hadn't really understood argument structures, indicators, etc. Starting to actually learn the logic of what was going on made me much more consistently score -1/-2.

Before my Jan exam: Khan Academy, Bibles, 7sage

Before my July Exam: 7sage (mostly PTs, not much curriculum)

Before my Oct Exam: Tutoring (DM me for info, I highly recommend my dude)

Standardized testing is a classist scam designed to gatekeep higher education. I despise the fact that the LSAT ruled my life for 1.5 years, but I'm immensely proud of myself for persevering. You can do it too!

My diagnostic was a 147!! It took me a month to get to the 150s, 3 months to get to the 160s, and alllll the rest to get to the 170s. YOU CAN DO IT! It will suck. But this test is learnable. You got this.

Hi!

I haven't really taken to doing JY's approach to comparative passages throughout my studying process-- that is, dipping into the questions after reading the first passage. I've typically figured that it would be a time suck, but have recently started to sense that it could benefit me. Can anyone speak to this? I'm taking the Nov test in a week, and I'm wondering if it's worth it to hone this approach, rather than sticking to the read both passages and then dive into the questions method.

Thanks!!

Hello,

I was so busy with midterms at school this week that I totally forgot to renew my 7sage (grandfathered) Ultimate+ account. I have literally been with 7sage forever. I think I was supposed to renew a day or two ago, but with so much stuff going on at school I totally forgot to do it. (It would be really really great if we could get an email reminder to renew our accounts).

Also, I am planning to take the next LSAT really soon, and the sudden price change from what I am paying now to what I would have to pay is too much for me to continue with my usual account. Can someone please please help?? I am really upset and panicked at the thought of not being able to keep my account!!!

Anyone else who is taking the November LSAT-Flex underestimate how much brain space the election would take up? I know I should turn off the news, but it's SO hard. UGH.

Hello, I recently graduated from college this past spring. I have been studying for the LSAT since then, took the Live Blueprint course and I raised my score 10 points in those 3 months. I started in the mid 130s, and I am looking to get into the 160s. I started an internship in the middle of September for 36 hours a week and it ends in the middle of December, it has been difficult to balance studying but I try to get at least 2-3 hours in 4 days a week and 6 during the weekend. I took a break from taking any PT's and drilling to read the Loophole book. Any advice on how I should approach 7sage (looking into purchasing their monthly plan), setting a study schedule and setting potential test date for me?

For anyone who's take the flex- whats the proctor experience/check in process like? Is the format of the test exactly like its on LSAC law hub? When you finish a section, does the next one start immediately?

I have been studying for 4 months, understand LR well, (get about -4 to -5 wrong on it after BR, usually the last questions), but on the actual test I can NEVER and I mean NEVER get past #17. It feels like a curse at this point. So of course I automatically end up missing around 8-10 every time. ANY advice would be great!!! Also, i'm taking Nov flex.

Hey everyone,

So I did a prep test today and wanted to score my experimental section just to see how I did on the section, is this even possible? Does LSAC release the answers to the experimental sections or no?

Thanks.

Im registered to take the November LSAT but has anyone been able to pick out their exact date? if so how? Im a little worried since it coming up
