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 :)

Does anyone know are you able to download Logmeinrescue before the exam? or is that something that you get a link to download or something while you are logged in to proctor u right before your exam starts? Thank you

Hey , so I finished the 7Sage course and took my first practice test on Sunday and scored 139 in real time and 152 in Blind Review. I’m writing the August LSAT and want to get in the mid to high 150’s but I’m not sure exactly what I need to do to effectively improve my score. Please help! Open to any advice.

As a grandfathered Ultimate+, where is the 1 month extension button? I cannot seem to find it on the "settings" tab. Help please. Thanks.

Hi everyone,

I'm currently looking to do the October or November test. I've taken some months off but am looking to get back into studying. Since the pandemic is unlikely to go away, these tests in fall will probably be the take at home test I've heard about. Can anyone bring me up to speed on the LSAT-Flex? 3 sections only, correct? Do I just take practice tests as normal?

Not sure where this is coming from. Seems random? And only for first time test takers? what about october first time takers or something. Surely this cant be the only month they do this

Hello 7sagers!

I recently completed Mike Kim's LSAT Trainer and my question is how should I continue preparing for the LSAT? I want to begin drilling problem sets, as I cannot fully complete sections under time constraints yet. I would like to know what would be the best course of action - Should I drill practice problems from the LSAT Trainer & begin my CC of 7sage as well? I have been studying the exam for 5 weeks, so I only have a very broad understanding of the exam currently, any advice would be most appreciated!

Hey guys, does anyone know how to best prepare for the flex format because it’s given on a computer?

Hey guys,

I've got a question for anybody who has made some significant increases in their scores. Previously, i thought taking pts and doing extensive BR would lead to consistent score increases alone. Now that i'm 4 pts in, and have only stayed in the 157-159 territory, i'm wondering if there's more virtue in spending days drilling instead?

Looking for perspectives because i was originally planning on taking august, but might be considering October instead. really hoping to be in the high 160s/low 170s.

What do you guys think helped you the most in your prep when you were around these scores? problem sets and drills or full practices tests with extensive BR? Thank you in advance!
