I'm sorry but this is a bit frustrating. The video I watched did not do much. Is there a way I can take individual sections without starting from the first section in an order. For example, I want to take the LR sections in PT 57 which are the 3rd and 4th. I am unable to do that because it automatically wants me to start with the first section. Please help.

I hope some of you will find laughter from this plus it's a PSA haha. I took the flex yesterday and LMAOOO just wanted to share with y'all that I didn't know/forgot we could only use number 2 pencils. So when my proctor was like "uhhhhh my guy are those MECHANICAL pencils? sorry they can't be mechanical...do you have any number 2 pencils?" I started to panic and rummaged through my entire house until I found 2 dull ass number 2 pencils. But wait, no sharpener. Only had a knife. It was the first time I ever sharpened a pencil with a knife in my life LOLOL we really hate to see it. The exam wasn't that bad. I usually PT from 167 - 172 (RC is my kryptonite rip) but I was so frazzled so I feel like LR/RC could have been better if my mind was in the right place. Ended up rereading stimuluses and parts of passages just because my angst got the best of me. But during the exam it was one of those moments where I knew if I was in the right headspace I would have complete control of the exam. You feel me? Nothing crazy out of the ordinary. Made some educated guesses on more questions than I would have liked and if the stars align we chillin, if not then rip. It sucks that I paid 200 for what is now essentially a practice exam but hey great learning experience and now I have HELLLAAAAA number 2 pencils and a sharpener for next time. Don't forget your number 2 pencils!!! Who's on this August train with yo'boy??

Like others, I don't know if I performed to expectation on July. I'm pretty sure I killed LG, did okay on LR, but may have bombed RC (that tribes passage...)

My last few PTs before the test were 171, 170, and 175. I'd be happy at this point if I managed to get a mid-high 160 but my brain is giving me a huge possible range of scores from below my diagnostic to possibly around where I was scoring by the end.

I'm really happy with my LG performance since I spent most time working on it throughout my prep (thank you 7sage, Foolproofing Method, & Pacifico's Attack Method). I'm fairly confident I went -0 or -1 unless I missed something important, but I had time to check everything over. But I can't stop thinking about RC since it's always been my most consistent section but for this test I only had a few minutes left at the end of it, and I didn't feel confident about most of my answers from a couple of the passages.

While I'm loathe to give LSAC any more money then it's already taken from me, I'm going to need a fairly high LSAT since I'm a splitter with a horrible GPA (though at least I'd be a mature candidate, so I have that going for me).

What do you guys think? What have you guys done? I've been feeling a little nauseous ever since I finished the July Flex and I can't stop thinking about it.

Hello 7Sagers,

I've been very proactive in my studying and spending 4 hours a day studying every week for the past 6 weeks, but I've been facing a lot of mental challenges. I constantly feel fatigued and tired, but when I see how hard everyone on this forum works; it motivates me to work even harder. Yet, there are days where I can't mentally function and my brain feels so tired, and I feel extremely guilty, if i'm not being productive or doing some type of work. It's getting to a point where I am almost burning out every other week and it has started to take a toll on my social relationships as well. I want to do really well on this test, but at the same time I know the rate I'm going at is extremely unhealthy. I really could use some advice, if anyone could offer me any.

Has anyone doing the course out of order? Like starting with RC instead of LR. If so, what have your results been like?

Hey,

Is there an easy way to add questions to Problem Sets from the Prep Test performance screen after taking a Practice test?

Thanks!

I initially took the 7sage course back in 2019 and scored a 153 and then a 151 in Feb of this year. Would it be worth it to go through the course again in hopes of a 160+? I feel like the last time I ran through most of the material.

Hi everyone,

I am pretty sure this question has been asked on this for in the past so apologies in advance.

I'm taking the flex exam on the 17th. I read somewhere that I just have to submit the writing sample before scores are released for the July exam. Can anyone please confirm if this is true? I couldn't find where on LSAC's webpage this "due date" was mentioned. :(

HELP!

I took the June 2020 Flex and received a 165. My PT averages were around 161 so I was pretty happy with that. However, I had to guess on the last LG due to time, so it makes me wonder if I can do even better than a 165. Should I retake? What are the downsides of retaking?

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if any one could please clarify this phrase on the LSAT Flex FAQ page. It says:

Q: What electronic devices are prohibited?

A: "One cell phone is allowed for use as a mirror during check-in as instructed by your proctor, but it must be turned off and put away as instructed by the proctor before the test begins. Additional cell phones are prohibited."

https://www.lsac.org/update-coronavirus-and-lsat/lsat-flex

I was wondering what exactly "use as a mirror during check-in" mean? Does this mean that it's mandatory for me to bring my cell phone to my desk? (I was planning to turn it off & put it away long before the test starts for peace of mind, but now I'm not sure whether I need to have it with me and also have it turned on at the beginning of the test? Seems rather odd.)

Also, what is a "check-in"???

I'd be much grateful if anyone could please provide any clarification on this. Thank you in advance!

I just took the writing portion and as I started to take notes on the scenario given to me, I realized there was NO prompt to show the camera my scratch paper. I had already written a few words on on the paper but I stopped and I said to the camera something like “I think I was supposed to show you the paper. There was no prompt to do so but here it is even tho I just wrote on it.” And I showed it both sides and what I had written at that point. I probably lost about 30 seconds due to this and the panic that I felt.

One side of the paper was shown when I did my room/desk scan. But not the other side till after I took some notes.

Ugh. Did anyone else have this experience? Do you think they will disqualify me? This is a time sensitive issue and I’m not sure if it’s better to call them or just hope for the best and not make a big deal out of it.

Hi guys!!

Q: Is there anyway to recreate Flex tests on 7sage? If not, can we pretty please have Flex tests or the option to somehow create our own tests using 3 problem sets that are then put through the converter (if this is already poss LMK!)

Q2: Is this something that is being done anywhere besides the PowerScore analytics package/ if not, would you recommend using the new PowerScore package?

Hi all,

After initially planning to take the August 29, 2020 exam, I've decided it would be beneficial to delay my exam to the October 3, 2020 test date in hopes of improving my timing and score. Does anyone know if the October LSAT is most likely going to be a LSAT Flex?

Thanks!

Hello,

I'm currently working on my application for disability accommodations and had a questions for those of you who went through the process. I was wondering if the documentation from the qualified professionals needs to be submitted by me or by them individually? Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey guys! For letters of recommendation, I know we need at least 2 to apply but will it be alright to get one from an employer and one from a professor? Or will it look better on my application to get 2 from my professors? I have a bachelors but unfortunately, I never spoke to my professors that often so I'm in a dilemma right now.

Hello friends!

I recently shared my story of my 7Sage experience going from a cold diagnostic of 142 to getting a 169 on the LSAT. Many people asked for my study method and I kind of gave a quick run down of how I approached each section. I forgot to add a mildly important caveat.

My studying method has always lead me to rote memorization. I memorize things pretty easily making the generic test a breeze, which is why the LSAT was such a curve ball. There was nothing I could memorize!

After going through the core curriculum, I was overwhelmed by the amount of information to take in and was a bit shook. I decided to go through it again and select some vital data to jot down on some flash cards. I wanted to play to my strengths and use memorization as an approach to the LSAT. I found that memorizing these flash cards made my response times to particular questions quicker, especially with argument flaw questions. Being familiar with the verbiage made it easier to see through the weeds of fabricated confusion that the LSAT writers love so much.

@kkole444 asked me to recreate the cards on Quizlet so they could be shared. So, for everyone who also likes to memorize things as a study method, please feel free to use these!

Happy to answer any questions anyone may have :) Best of luck to all!

Hello! I’m slated to take the August LSATFlex, and wanted to see from anyone who has taken the Flex or otherwise how I can best mimic the testing conditions for Flex? I want to mimic testing conditions as close as possible so as not to be unnecessarily thrown off on test day.

I’m thinking of taking the second LR section in a PT on 7Sage (by looking it up beforehand) as a warmup drill the day before, and then just doing the three sections one after the other immediately the following day. Any other thoughts? Thank you so much in advance!

I'm looking for lessons for Most Strongly Supported Questions. Does anyone know where I can find it?

I'm thinking of signing up for the August LSAT Flex, and I see on the website that the last day to switch an exam date (If I still don't feel ready) is August 22. Is there a fee for switching?

The LSAC website said this in the beginning: "All August LSAT registrants will be automatically registered to take the LSAT-Flex during the week of August 29 unless they choose to opt out and receive a coupon to use for any future LSAT until April 2021. " If I switch from August to October (for example) around the Aug 22 deadline, would I get that coupon? Or is that just for people who had registered for the August exam before LSAC announced anything about it?

TAA!

Hello!

I am signed up for the Aug 29th test date. How do I know if my test is 'flex'? I don't believe I selected the flex option.

Should I be practicing taking the test with a mask now so I am comfortable and used to it then?

How have testing conditions changed?

Does anybody have suggestions on how to study for the last 50 days before test day. I've been studying 3-4 hrs a day everyday following my syllabus. When I finish with the program which will be within the next two weeks what should I do. Besides PT, does anyone have recommendations on a good physical book I can buy for extra studying materials?

Hey there,

I was hoping someone can help me with the LSAT- flex score conversion. I wanted to calculate how many questions I can get wrong for a certain score, however the score conversion chart on the website is for the traditional LSAT (4sections) #help.

Does anyone know if we're allowed to chew gum during the exam? I feel it helps my focus and concentration.

Curious what everyone is using in conjunction with 7Sage? I am steadily making my way through all of the lessons but feel as though I need a bit more reinforcement. What does everyone reccomend that has made the biggest difference in terms of score gain?

hello,

im wondering if the 170+ers out there have any tips on how to improve speed and accuracy for LR and RC. i can comfortably get 170+ untimed, but under timed conditions, i tend to feel rushed and my score dips into the low 160s. i started studying about two and a half months ago and have taken about 5-7 PTs, but no significant improvements in my actual score. would super duper appreciate any tips!

thanks!
