I took the October-Flex and am slightly worried I did the same or worse than the previous time I took it. I am trying to decide if I should cancel my score or just wait an see what happens. Specifically, I am curious how bad it looks to admissions to have potentially done worse the second time. I am taking it again in November.

Anyone have thoughts/advice on this?

For logic game explanation vids they are now showing a computed "target time" instead of the old suggested time bench marks that used to be there. For example, for one game he says in a video that you should aim for under 10 minutes for a game, but my "target time" for that game is 8:38. Is this an update? Before today I had never seen such specific target times under the videos. Also, In the past the time always seemed to line up with what JY said. Is there any way to switch this back?. Also how are these target times calculated?

I was an idiot and didn't purchase score preview initially, so now I need to go back and do it, but can't find it anywhere on the lsac website. Could someone who has already done it let me know how? I'm trying to avoid calling LSAC because I know they'll put me on hold forever. Thanks!

Hello Everyone,

I was wondering if someone might suggest a tutor(s). I need someone that's affordable, (DM me with info on this...?). Any advice or personal experiences welcome! How did you use a tutor and how did they help/not help you? Always see great advice on this page, so I figured I'd ask here before looking elsewhere. Happy studying!

Cheers!

I got Score Preview for the August LSAT and can't decide if I should cancel my score. Is it bad that law schools will see that I canceled a score? I can't seem to find many opinions on this since the score preview is new.

I took the weekend off in hopes of feeling refreshed, but Friday and today have felt like I've forgotten everything I've learned! Has anybody else experienced this or have any words of advice for tomorrow?

TIA!

I'm returning to studying tomorrow after a 3 week hiatus and some discouragement. I'd like to take the January or February test as I hope to start law school next fall. I haven't taken the test in the Flex format.

I have a few questions about simulating the Flex format:

When using my laptop to take the test is it best to do it through LawHub or on 7Sage? If I do it through LawHub would you recommend I just skip one of the two LR sections and than input my answers into 7Sage for Blind Review?

When using my laptop would you say its better to use a mouse or just the touchpad or screen (I have a Surface Book)? I wasn't sure if mouse's are even allowed or not on the test.

Would you recommend I tear out pages from a notebook? Also that I use the 7Sage proctor phone app with JY's voice as the proctor on LawHub?

Thank you!

Accountability partner anyone?

Whenever I create a problem set using the resource section, I’m never able to go back to it? Is there a way to save the problem sets I created ?

Does anyone have an opinion on what an easy PT is in the 70s or 80s? I want to take one more PT before the test but don’t want to take a hard one and get discouraged if I don’t do well.

I read in their guidelines that you need to show both sides of the paper and pen, when starting the writing portion. However, when I was taking it; at no point did it prompt me to do it. Is anyone else confused about this?

Hey everyone! I am a relatively new user to 7Sage, and I was just hoping to vent some frustrations that I have had with my LSAT progress. Hopefully this is an appropriate forum for such things, and apologies if this post is overly long or disjointed. Throughout my entire LSAT experience, I have felt really alone because I did not have any close friends to get advice from and my school did not help me with any resources. And with there being such a saturation of LSAT prep services available on the market, it was hard for me to wade through it all and select a service. I began my LSAT journey last January, and have had a bit of an inconsistent time with studying since then. I started with the LSAT Trainer, which was recommended to me by a tutor that I reached out to, and I had a good experience working through this book. However, as I said, I did not follow the study schedule that the author Mike Kim recommended (I was working 20 hrs per week and taking an intensive course load), and so I didn’t get as much out of that as I would have liked. I finished the LSAT Trainer in June, and then felt like I was not where I wanted to be. I also made the mistake of taking practice tests untimed while I was reading the LSAT Trainer, which I realize is very stupid now, especially after learning about JY’s blind review method. After that, I looked for a new prep course and came across 7Sage. I also took about two months off to dedicate for job hunting, and when I eventually found a job I turned my focus back to the LSAT.

Now, it is August, and to be honest I was panicking. I felt like I had wasted the past months not taking preparation for the LSAT seriously, even though it means so much to me to go to a good law school. For reference, I have a 3.92 LSAC gpa and have good soft skills as well, but I have unfortunately warped the LSAT into a seemingly impossible mountain to climb, and this has really been negative for my confidence. I recently took a practice test and I got a 145 (with a 166 blind review), and this scared me as well. I feel like I've made every mistake in the book, but I am still determined to beat this test. And deep down I know that I can, but it will take a lot of hard work and WAY more consistent studying.

I have also found that it has been hard for me to stick to a regimented schedule in studying with 7Sage, and I’m not sure if this is the right prep service for me to continue with. This has been totally my fault, and I am not criticizing 7Sage at all as I think it is a wonderful service. I just think that I might benefit from a more structured course with face to face learning with an instructor, like with Blueprint or Princeton Review, even though I’ve heard horrid reviews of the latter. So I suppose my question is this: for someone who has been studying for the LSAT kind of on and off for some time, how did you finally pull the trigger and devote your energy and time to achieving your best possible score? And for people that have been in similar positions as me, how do you not let the stress overwhelm you and grind through the uncertainty? Finally, has anyone had any experience taking the Online Course with BluePrint? I realize this might not be the right place to ask as 7Sage is so popular for many students, but I would appreciate any advice. Perhaps the best thing for me to do is to power through 7Sage and be patient. Thank you!

If anyone is interested please email me at dcain16@gmail.com or feel free to message me on 7Sage.

I have been a slow test taker my whole life. I've never completed every question of a standardized test (ACT, GRE, LSAT) and even after two months of dedicated studying and taking 10 full timed LSATs I've never completed a single section (LR, RC, LG/AR) without guessing on 5+ questions in the last minute.

Has anyone else had problems like this and managed to overcome? I know the more I familiarize myself with the material the quicker it should come, but since this has been the case for me forever and I have been a good student, it seems like a bigger issue.

Some helpful tips I've been working on are to skip a question if I'm not understanding and come back, and take the test like I'm trying to get my actual goal score, not a 180 (avoid time sucks basically). Any other pointers?

Hey guys,

I'm planning on taking the LSAT in January and my question is, what strategies can I use to best bridge this gap. from 144 pt to a 158 BR. Any advice is welcomed.

Thanks.

HELP hahahhaah I took the lsat writing a week ago. I have tendencies to be a bit dyslexic when I am nervous........ so the whole time I am calling the main person in the prompt CLARA and today when my writing got approved I looked at the prompt again and her name is CARLA!!!!!!!!

I am dying inside from OMG what do I do but also..... it is pretty funny. Like it's not the biggest deal in the world, I have strong writing and could take it again, but wouldn't this one stay on file? I could write an addendum on my application?? Any advice?

Are we allowed to take the US Flex LSAT overseas?

Any idea on how to break through the 172 plateau? Been taking a PT every week for the last month and pretty much stuck between 168 - 172. Not entirely sure what i can do next because i feel like i have a firm grasp of what's being asked but somehow.. i always end up getting 6-8 questions wrong between RC and LR. I take one section of either LR/RC/LG every day except Sat when i take the PT and then BR/watch explanation videos and been seeing no improvements (my score when i take test sections has been slumping actually) and i'm not sure what i can do to push this out to a 175+ range come November. Any advice or direction would be appreciated!

Took October, signed up for November.

I've done the games from most of the 1-35 and many of the 40s. Have many 60s, 70s, and 80s tests yet to take - more tests than I can take before November, which will by my final LSAT attempt.

How do I prioritize (or should I just go semi-random)? Would doing all 80s and a couple 70s leave me at a disadvantage if new tests pull from old material? How are y'all handling this?

Are there particular tests that stand out as "must dos?"

I figure this to be the result of simple arithmetic, and the stakes are higher given the 25% drop in the amount of questions while taking a Flex Test. But I've recently gone from 157 as my high to a 149 on a (older) Practice test.. Has anybody else been practicing by simulating Flex and getting significantly worse scores? This has me beyond nervous considering my test is Thursday..

Tell me what you think your top 5 favorite courses will be with whatever prior knowledge you have about the courses. This does not have to be the end all be all LOL.

ABA 1L courses include

civil procedure

constitutional law

contracts

criminal law and criminal procedure

legal writing and research

property law

torts

I think mines will be

4.Property law

Hi! I'm taking the November flex and have PTs 78-89 for practicing up until then - spacing out 2 per week pretty much. Any word of advice for which are harder/hardest? Or is there a discussion on which PTs the flex is resembling the most?

I've studied starting in 60s, taking them in order starting from 2010.

I heard Pts in the 80s are difficult compared to others, so I'm nervous to even dive in and kill my confidence..

LMK! xx

Hi,

I want to know how those of you who are taking the LSAT flex prepared by simulating it? Did you just take out a section from a usual prep test? Is there an option to take preptests from 7sage using a LSAT Flex format?

Thank you!

Hi everyone. I think I couldn't catch up this cycle. After five months study, I got 157 on the Aug lsat. Normally, people encourage me to take the next one in Nov or Dec. However, I am also a CS master student who has a extremely heavy workload. It's impossible to handle schoolwork and LSAT at the same time. Also, this is my fifth year of leaving my home country. I've been stayed in my apartment alone since the covid-19, not only I have to prepare LSAT, but also I need to deal with the psychological pressure.

But I am not giving up my law school plan, it's just not the right time to fight for it. But I don't want to waste these several months (assuming I take the next LSAT in Sept or June in the next year). RC is my worst part. Apparently, I am not a English speaker. Just wonder if anyone had the similar experience or has any suggestions? Maybe some helpful books (related to RC topics) to read?

Thanks!

Hi! I’m taking the LSAT flex tomorrow on my monitor that has a built in webcam at the bottom, so when I’m looking at the screen it looks like I’m looking up a bit. Has anyone done this before/run into problems with it? Do you think it’ll be fine?
