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!
Hi, I'm not sure if anyone has ever experience this before, but is it possible to defer law school by a year and during that one-year deferral, apply for JD/MBA? I was supposed to attend Penn Law this coming fall, but I'm thinking of deferring and applying for MBA during my one-year deferral (goal is to do 3 year JD/MBA program)...if anyone has any input, that would be much appreciated! Thanks!
Hi all. I just signed up and entered my answers for a test I had already completed on Lawhub. I then went through that full test again on Lawhub, blind review style. How do I enter my blind review results? Currently it just says my blind is the same as my score. Thanks for the help!
Started off the test with the proctorU persons password not working and didn’t get the password for 40 min so I just sat there. Then the session disconnected 2x during the actual test and had to reshow all my stuff and go through that process again. I’m worried if I should cancel my score BC I don’t feel very good about it, or just suck it up bc I’m prob only taking it 2 more times anyways...thoughts?
Has anyone taken a flex test on an iPad? I’m sitting the August test and have heard of some issues with MacBook Air. I’ve never experienced any issues with digital PT’s on the iPad and am mostly worried about a slow down with ProctorU.
Thank you!
Dear fellow 7Sagers,
I've taken the LSAT three times now. I took it cold in 2017 June (PT 81) without every seeing an LSAT material and got a 151 (stupid, I know). I never touched the LSAT again until 2020 where I took it in May (169) and in June (171). However, these are below my PT average of 173. My section averages can be RC -1 to -3, LR -1 to -3, and LG -0.
The problem that I've noticed in the LSAT is struggling in section while doing great in the other two. In May, I felt like I aced the RC and LG but then in the LR, I somehow forgot how to read and had 8 flags before time ran out. In June, I felt like I killed LG and LR but was completely destroyed by the prescriptive vs descriptive and especially the sunken ships passages in the RC.
My question is that how can I ensure that I am able to perform in all sections regardless of difficulty? I usually don't run into this issue in my PTs. Is this a common issue during a take? I've done almost every PT above 50 and drilled 10-49 during the CC and warm-up drills.
I'm taking the August Flex for my 4th time in order to hit my average or above. Thank you for your time.
I'm currently scheduled to take the Flex on Tuesday and had a question about the highlight function. I've been practicing reading comp passages without highlighting after reading stories about what a disaster it is to use on the digital LSAT. However, I tried using the highlighter on one of the practice exams posted on LawHub and it seems to be working fine (using Chrome on a Mac). Has anyone tried using the feature on the actual Flex and know how reliable it is/whether I should attempt to use it when I take the test?
Thanks in advance!!
So I have a PC, and with no built in microphone. What I'm wondering is if I'm able to use my headphones(Arctis5) to speak with the proctor and then just put it down during the test? How much do I really need to speak with the proctor during the test? And do they tell me stuff through voicechat? Or can it be done by chatting? Thanks.
First time posting here, I just bought the 7Sage Course. So I started prepping for the LSAT two months ago using the LSAT Trainer, and I noticed after my 4th PT test that my score hasn't changed much at all--it went from 151 to 155 to 156 to 153 today. But, I blind review'ed my LR section today and scored a -1 while in the realtime test I scored -9 for that section. Does this mean I improved? Why is it that during real time tests, I am performing so much worse? Is a two-month time period too short to expect improvement?
I'm feeling rather lost and down--I'd appreciate any tips or insights you guys can share...Thanks guys.
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 the score preview option can be found here.
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?
