Flex

Hey everyone, quick question for those who have taken the LSAT-Flex. Do they provide you with scrap paper and obviously it has to be utilized on screen. You can't have scrap paper physically next to you during the exam, correct? Thanks everyone

My score might be delayed since I took the Oct LSAT on the 8th and will just now be taking the writing sample. I bought score preview, does anyone know if I can still use it if my score is delayed?

Hey everyone! Currently in the midst of doing this for UVA which requests that all applicants:

"list your significant extracurricular, extra-professional, community and/or other activities in the order of importance to you. Please provide a brief (1) description of each activity, and (2) specify your involvement, (3) length of involvement, (4) special projects, and (5) responsibilities."

I know a couple of other schools ask something similar so UVA isn't the only one that this applies to.

Anyways, curious as to what the optimal strategy here is in terms of quantity vs. quality - probably like a lot of people I joined a TON of organizations but probably only had a serious and sustained involvement in 3-4. On my resume I've limited the number of organizations that I list to just those that I would be confident talking about if anyone were to ask me about it - I mean after all no one is really going to believe that I had a meaningful involvement in 12 different clubs/organizations.. do you think the same principle applies to this type of statement: List and explain everything you did in the handful of clubs and organizations that actually meant something to you or exhaustively list everything you were engaged in and emphasize those organizations that were most important?

Also, been out of school for 3 years now and have not been involved in any extra-professional activities - how bad is that? Not super worried about it but kind of feel like I probably should have been doing SOMETHING lol.

Hi everyone.

I've been studying for about 8 months and finally scored above my goal of 168 to get a 169!! My average is currently at a 166. Does anybody have any recommendations for prep in the 4 weeks left to keep up this momentum and push my average a few points up?

Section wise - LG is about -2/-0, LR is -1/-6 and RC is about -3/-8 I'm currently taking a full PT and a Flex about every week with 2 days of blind review, 2 days of review and 1 day a week off. I try to foolproof and do RC passages on days I review also.

Let me know about any stress management or PT advice. Thanks guys!

Hi everyone! I recently did another PT & BR. I'm discouraged because my BR is 11 points higher than my PT score (think from 145PT to 156BR range). Obviously I want to get to a true score of 156+, and the BR did show me that I have the potential to score well and continue to grow to the score I want (165)....But HOW do I do this?

What are your suggestions to overcome time anxiety? I want to be more precise with my answers, but with the knowledge that the time is running, I make dumb mistakes and miss rules. Also, how did you guys just overall get faster? I keep drilling things but have not hit the speed I need/want. Should I just keep doing drills? More PTs? Any help is appreciated.

Study Buddy for November?

Hi - I am in the high 150s and am looking for two to three study buddies to help me get into the 160 range (and help you do the same, of course). Looking to meet via Zoom to blind review a few days a week. Right now I am taking 2 PT's a week, 2 days to BR each, then a drilling day. I read a past thread on here of a GREAT method to BR in a group and would love to employ said method.

If you're interested, please let me know!

Upcoming cycle

Is it too late to take the February LSAT for the Fall 2021 year? I've been studying since August and I'm not sure if I'll be prepared to take the LSAT in January.

HEY Nov takers!

Now that we're at the T minus 6 weeks mark, I was just wondering what everyone's study plans are to get in their best shape for November.

Personally, I struggle the most with RC (consistently -7 or -8); do fine with LG and LR (-3 to -5). Therefore, I'm going to try to drill historically difficult RC passages, drill historically difficult LG games, and then hopefully take 12-15 Full Practice Tests before Nov 7.

I feel like I'm still lacking a bit of structure. Curious as to what others are doing to gear up for Nov 7 to see if I can get a bit of inspo. Happy studying & best of luck to all!

Proctor U account?

Hi I am taking the Nov. LSAT and I was just wondering how to create a Proctor U account? Does LSAC send you info on how to create an account? I was just trying to make sure my computer had everything it needed before the test but when I go to Proctor U and try to test it out I need to log in? I don't have an account and if I try to register under "LSAC" for the institution it does not let me. Just wondering if anyone knew anything. I called Proctor U and they said I have to call LSAC. I have been on hold for about 30 minutes and no one has picked up. Any help would be great!! Thanks

PT 81 RC from the very first section completely threw me off, to the point where I just didn't want to move onto the other sections

I stopped at the last passage because of the not-so-good feeling about the entire rc section.

I know that if I don't continue the pt, it won't be reflective of the actual test condition, but at the same time, I just feel like I'm going to be devastated if I finish the pt and see the result..

Should I just keep drilling other rc passages before I return to PT 81 rc at some point, at other time?

Law School Explained

Hi everyone,

For the past year, we’ve been working on a major project. The premise is simple. Law school professors know a lot about the law. We know a little about teaching. What if we joined forces?

The result is Law School Explained, a series of video and audio lessons that walk you through the basics of a typical 1L curriculum. Instead of making you infer the law by reading hundreds of cases, we just, well, explain it—and by “we,” I mean “top professors from around the country.” We’ve broken the lessons into small, digestible units. Think of our course as a primer, preview, and supplement that you can watch on the couch or listen to when you go for a run.

We’re working on eight different subjects: Property, Criminal Law, Torts, Con Law, Civil Procedure, Legal Writing, Contracts, and a forthcoming class about how to succeed in law school. So far, we’ve published about a hundred animated video lessons and nearly two hundred audio lessons. Although we’re producing more content each week, we’re finally ready to share this. Here’s how it works:

You can subscribe to our audio and video lessons for $16 per month, or you can subscribe to our audio lessons alone for $9 per month.

With either option, you’ll be able to listen to them right from our website. If you subscribe to the video lessons, you’ll also be able to watch the animations on our website. And with both options, you’ll get access to new content as we publish it.

>>You can sign up here: https://classic.7sage.com/lawschool/pricing/(((/p)

We’re eager to hear what you think!

A bit off topic but...

...are the facts in the LR questions and RC passages true? I keep telling my friends fun facts that I learn from LSAT practice and I want to be sure I'm not spreading fake news. Of course I know I need to account for context, time of publishing, and writer opinion.

FLEX Scratch Paper

Can anyone who has already taken the LSAT Flex explain the scratch paper situation? I ask primarily because a friend who just took the GRE said she was told by one of our other friends that she had to use a white board (to prove all test material was erased) before the end of the test, and this ended up being true for her on test day with no advanced notice from official test services. I know GRE is different, but I just want to be 1000% sure I'm prepared with everything I need for the November test. Thanks in advance!

So I already have two LSAT scores: 161 and 168. I was scoring high 160s and early 170s on my PTs in preparing for the October flex and aiming for a T 14 school.

But during the first section (LG) I made a stupid mistake and kinda completely lost control over my head. I had a semi-panic attack and legit had to focus on breathing for a few minutes during the entire test. I'm pretty sure that I won't get an over 170 score nor somewhere even close to high-160s, so I'm really confused as to whether I should cancel my score.

Do you think I should cancel? I've heard canceling is for pretty dire situations, but I'm still a bit shocked from how terrible my October experience was. Is it better to have taken the LSAT four times and show score inconsistency, or have three scores with one cancellation?

would appreciate any and all advice!!

Lawhub subscription

Does anyone know if we need to somehow “unsubscribe” the lawhub PTs?( I purchased the one-year one along with my monthly 7sage.) Dont want lawhub showing on my bills while grueling through my 1L lol.

Hi everyone, I am taking the LSAT for the first time in November. Previously I was PT-ing averaging at low 170s, but then I suddenly dipped and my scores started averaging around 167-168. Thus, I decided to take a 5 days break, thinking that it would help. But since coming back from the break I have done way worse.

While previously I was averaging -0 to -2 for LG, now I am averaging -4. Further dips are seen on my LR and my RC. What should I do then? Should I just continue to take it slow? I am about 30 days away and I am somewhat flustered and desperate. Thank you so much!

I don’t know if anyone knows the answer to this but I am wondering if anyone knows whether you can essentially do macro level social work with a law degree or if you need an MSW? Things like community outreach/research, advocacy and lobbying for social policy change, etc

Are you sure?
