Any tips for getting faster at R.C? I've been stuck with only getting through 2/4 passages for a few months now. I started reading the Economist, and it's helped, but I still feel like there's something that's holding me back from getting through this section.

Help!! I would like to withdraw from the July LSAT-Flex today this weekend, but there is no button available on the LSAC website account to do so, and the LSAC website says that withdrawing is permissible up until 11:59 PM EST the night before the test (July 11).

I understand this is terribly irresponsible and I should not be doing so this late but I wanted to ask if there was a way to withdraw?? The LSAC website doesn't have a button available under "eligible to withdraw" and I sent them an email but they probably won't respond because it's Friday night.

Should I withdraw on Proctor U?

I'm getting worried because there's still not admissions ticket posted to my LSAC account and I'm scheduled for the July test at 1150 on Sunday. Should I be worried, or is it normally posted the day before? I read the LSAT Flex tips on LSACs website and it said you have to hold up the ticket: did this change and I'm not supposed to get one? Just want to know for sure so that if I need to start calling LSAC I can do it first thing tomorrow morning.

I started taking PT's and my scores fell into the high 150 range. I got a 157, 158, 159 and a 156 respectively. Frustrated that I couldnt get a 160 I changed the way I studied and felt like it would have helped. I took a week off, came back and got a 155 on a PT. After that I reviewed my test and took another one. Today I got a 152. My lowest ever. Unsure of what to do and very lost.

Hi all, where can I access PINNED questions from problem sets?

#help

Would anyone here recommend a commercial prep course like Blueprint? I'm currently stuck averaging 150, but I've only taken 9 PT's. I would like to end up scoring in the high 160's by the end of this year. I've had some pretty unhelpful and costly experiences with some other tutoring companies in the past, so I'm really only looking for the best option at this point.

Announcement from LSAC:

More information about LSAT-Flex

Hello, I’ve taken all the PT’s in the 70’s and 80’s except for 89. I’m wondering if it would be beneficial to take PT89 before the upcoming LSAT this week or if I should save it to use for later if/when I begin studying for the August LSAT. On one hand, I want to be as up to date with the most recent material as possible. But at the same time, I don’t want to burn through my last “new” PT if I do end up studying for August. What are your thoughts?

Hey 7sagers,

I'm back again to ask for the advice of members of the community who PT 170+ . What is your mindset in approaching studying, correcting mistakes, habits & routines, etc..? I believe that your mindset is often an overlooked idea, but it has significant advantages when applied correctly. I just want to understand the thought processes that are behind what top scorers are considering in various aspects of this exam. I appreciate the help as always and look forward to your responses!

I registered for the July exam and thought I would have until midnight tonight to withdraw. I had attempted to do so a few days ago to no avail, so I emailed LSAC. I never received a response. I kept trying via the LSAC website and was unsuccessful. I then learned that I only had until July 3rd to withdraw. So, I logged onto ProctorU to schedule a slot, but couldn't get one. Spoke with a customer service rep who told me that all the slots are filled and that I should contact LSAC for assistance. They wont be back into the office again until Monday.

So, I can't withdraw but I also can't register for a test. Not registering shows up as an absence. Between that and a canceled/mediocre score I'd take the latter.

Does anyone have any additional information? What should I do?

If you know a tutor or have any study approaches that helped you please let me know especially if you started low as -13. Any guidance would be helpful. I've tried 7sage, PS, & trainer. I try reading for structure and review all RC passages through 7sage. Somedays I'm at 20/27 (twice) timed and most other days I'm at an average of -13. I think the days where I hit 21 or 20 are merely flukes. Untimed I'm typically 23-24.

Thank you.

LSAC announced that for first time takers, you can purchase the option to see your score before deciding whether you want to cancel.

Full text of announcement:

In response to requests and feedback from test takers, we have created a new score preview option for first-time test takers who wish to see their score before deciding whether or not to keep it as part of their LSAC transcript and report it to schools. Score preview will cost $45 for candidates who sign up prior to the first day of testing for a given test administration, or candidates may sign up during a specified time period after testing has concluded for $75. First-time test takers who sign up for score preview will receive their scores at the same time other test takers receive theirs, (assuming they have completed their LSAT Writing and have no holds on their accounts), and will have six (6) calendar days to decide if they want to cancel or keep their score. If they take no action their scores will be added to their LSAC file and released to schools at the end of the six-day period. This feature will be available for purchase starting around August 1.

Note: First-time test takers who have an approved LSAT fee waiver will receive score preview free of charge. In 2019, LSAC approved 7,939 candidates for fee waivers. Because there were 71,515 first-time test takers in the 2019-2020 testing cycle, that means 11.1% of those first time test takers would have automatically received the free score preview.

You can learn more about the score preview option at our website: https://www.lsac.org/lsat/taking-lsat/lsat-scoring/about-score-preview

I just signed up to 7Sage today. I have previously written 4 PTs and wish to just plug in my scores so I can add those to the analytics. However, when I try it thinks I want to take those PTs digitally. I was actually able to plug in 2 of the PTs in with the free version but now I am not able to do that with the other 2.

Thoughts?

Hi all,

Are you taking four-section exams in preparation for the LSAT Flex? Is there a way to take a three section exam on 7Sage?

Thanks!

Hi all,

I have some troubles in negating the following:

I am not very sure whether I should negate "too" or, rather, "to" in the above sentences.

Thanks very much,

Leon

How do you practice flex three sections？ thanks!

I plan on taking the LSAT in October, so I’m not sure if they will still be doing LSAT Flex by then, but I am worried about taking the exam digitally. On the LSAC website where you can take practice tests the highlighting tools do not work for me. So I’m worried about not being able to annotate when I take the real thing. Has this been a problem for people, or is annotating easy to do on the LSAT flex/the digital one if anyone has taken it?

What did you see when you got your LSAT Flex scores back?

Do they show you the number of questions you got wrong (and/or number wrong per section)?

Or just the score?

Hey Everybody,

Does anyone know how the LSAT-flex will be scored in comparison to the normal 4 section test? For example, how many wrong on the 3 section LSAT-flex test would one have to get in order to get a 165, 170, 175...etc? Thanks!

I will be taking the August 2020 LSAT Flex. I think I read somewhere that we will only be allowed 5 pieces of paper and a pencil. I took the LSAT digital in person before but we got a pen. So will we not be able to use a pen anymore and have to use a pencil? Any other differences between the LSAT Flex and the LSAT digital in person?

I just finished the core curriculum a few weeks ago after completing all the problem sets, but it almost always takes me double or sometimes triple the recommended time to complete individual logic games. However, I usually score -1 at most. Is this normal? Or should I be working much faster by now?

Hey ya'll,

I test on Tuesday and I just PT'd the worse I've ever done... basically even with diagnostic... any tips on how to prepare for Tuesday?

Does anyone know if we are allowed to use a pen on the July-Flex exam?

I know for in person digital exams they began allowing pens but on the Law Hub website it says only pencils... is this outdated or updated?

I called LSAC and cancelled my July LSAT and rescheduled it to Aug. But then I realized I still hold the spot/schedule on ProctorU. Should I also cancel that? Or it will expire automatically?

So I'm planning on taking the July test, but I'm getting so nervous!!! My goal score is around a 169 and about a month ago I was able to hit it but unfortunately, I haven't hit it since and have been averaging around a 163-164. The past month I've had a pretty bad apartment move, so I've been wildly stressed out and my mind hasn't been totally focused, which is what I'm hoping has been the reason for not hitting my goal score. When I do individual timed sections, I'm seeing the scores reflect exactly where I want to be, but when I take a PT my scores drop. Should I chance it and hope that my test day focus and knowledge of the content pulls through, or should I push to October? (August doesn't seem possible with my work schedule) I'm also worried that the test I scored a 169 on was just super compatible with my skill set and not reflective of an average PT. Any thoughts?

By the way, good luck to everyone taking July :)
