Hey everyone,

I am taking the July 14th flex exam and was curious if anyone has had an issue of "download speed can't be found" I have tested it on other websites and am downloading at a speed 3x higher than recommended. Wondering if anyone else has had this experience and what was done to fix it.

thanks

Nervous about registering for a flex lsat if they will be doing lsat like this for a while because I have been doing practice tests the traditional five section way for a while. Do you think it will be more difficult to get a higher score with only three sections or will it be about the same? And supposedly they aren’t going to make it more difficult because it’s three sections but I honestly don’t know if that’s going to be the case lol. Also how do you think law schools will view a flex score ?

Hey everyone,

My studying began at the very end of last year. I just received my first 170, albeit with some extra time added on to the PT. When discussing speed, I've heard the maxim, "Slow is fast and fast is smooth" and am attempting to live by this motto. Within the speed zeitgeist, there is also the skipping strategies from Mike Ross and Can'tgetright, which are incredibly useful. For anyone else scoring within this range, could you provide either general principles or specific rules that help you gain speed without sacrificing accuracy? Alternatively, you can just affirm that speed is a function of practicing more frequently and I'll begrudgingly accept that.

Lastly, if you are in need of a study buddy, I am up for being asked "dumb" questions if I can ask foolish things in return. I plan on really considering this July Flex test (even with its drawbacks) with August as a hopeful take.

Thanks!

I just started 7sage a few weeks ago. Should I start taking practice tests throughout the core curriculum? I understand that I won't know the best approach for most of the question types at this point and don't want to "waste" the prep tests if I'm not ready.

Any recommendations on when to start integrating them into my weekly study plan? Thank you!

Hi - I know this is a nice problem to have but I am looking for advice on if it makes sense to move from June to July LSAT. I am registered for both but hope to take once with highest score possible. My study schedule and overview of PTs are below. I am feeling a bit exhausted but also have always had a shoot your shot mentality and would not hate being done with LSAT on Monday.

My question is how much can I expect to improve if I take a few days to decompress this weekend and then refine with PTs 79-84 doing 1-2 a week for next few weeks? This would probably involve me taking LSAT time down from 80% of time to 30-50%. Would it be typical (expected?) for a test taker with below level of scores to move up to more consistent high 170s? Or does the below pattern indicate an end to realistic improvement. Thank you and good luck to everyone jamming on this stuff.

Overview of studies:

I moved through LSAT trainer in about 1 month while picking and choosing core curriculum lessons as I felt it was needed. I started PT'ing at the the start of June scoring:

April 15 - May 31: LSAT trainer and core curriculum

June onward PT and blindreview:

76 - 169 (173)

77 - 168 (171)

78 - 173 (174)

79-83: saved

84 - 171 (171)

85 - 168 (172)

86 - 169 (170)

87 - 171 (172)

88 - 169 (176)

89 - 173 (173)

I can go -0 in an given section but tend to have one section always go -3 to -5... Timing is improving especially on LR (maybe 5 minutes at end and getting better). RC is always tighter for time. LG has most variability.

If you want to retake a PT in digital format, can you do this or do you have to just set up problem sets?

At what point do I know I've completed the core curriculum? Currently, I'm on weakening questions - but I noticed there's nowhere on the syllabus that specifically states "core curriculum." I know its L, LR, and RC but how do I know when I've completed those lessons on the syllabus?

I guess I have a question. If the June test is the LSAT flex, would they release a 4 section test or just 3 section for the books they publish and sell to you for prepping purposes? It seems bit confusing to prep for 4 to 5 section and using the 5 section as an experimental. The actual test is just 3 sections now with LSAT flex. I mean how do you score it a 3 section test? I am sort of confused at the moment. If you can explain where it makes, it would be most helpful.

I took PT 11 yesterday and scored wayyyy lower than my average. Are these tests on par with 36+ on difficulty?

Did LSAC/ProctorU specify what things on your desk/table are absolute no-no's?

Hey guys! I started 7sage this week, and I'm planning to take the LSAT for the first time in October. The course hours are intimidating and a part of me is scared that I wont have enough time to get through all the lessons on each section. I know I have a couple of months to go, but does anyone recommend skipping over lets say the LR section (which is quite beefy) and going straight to the Logic Game section (the section I struggle the most with). I would obviously come back to complete the LR section, I just feel I am going to need more time to understand the LG games and don't want to leave it alone. Has anyone else started studying an other section out of order? Did you think it was fine skipping a section and comping back or did you wish you did it in order?

I'm currently registered for the July LSAT-Flex. Can someone tell me if I'm supposed to wait for an email from LSAC that will direct me on how to register for a ProctorU account, or am I supposed to go ahead and make one myself? Thanks much in advance!

Hi！Does anyone know how to tell whether a specific test center will offer digital test or not? I know that in USA and Canada digital tests have been widely adopted,but I registered for a test center in Asia and I have no idea whether they will provide digital test there.

I was sitting down at a hotel lobby getting ready to take my first LSAT ever. I remember reading huge words and arguments and thought to myself: "Ok, I will never be a lawyer, this is only the entrance exam and I can barely shake it, how am I ever going to be an attorney?

I got a 138, and only about 5 questions right on Logic games. After studying for about 3 months, (not very many hours per week) I finally took a official LSAT and got a 147. I needed a 155 to have a decent shot at the regional school I wanted to attend - I got denied.

Fast forward a year and I study for a few more weeks, thinking I only need a little bit of improvement to scrape together that 155. I was wrong, I took another official test but cancelled because I knew I wasn't going to get that 155. At this point I thought I was NEVER going to law school.

I came across J.Y., his amazing team, and this amazing group of people here on 7sage. I decided to quit my job and dedicate 6 full months to really learn the LSAT, like from the bottom up. I mastered games first through full-proofing and then LR, and then on to RC. My highest PT was 161 and that's what I actually got on game day.

With my new and improved 161 score, I was accepted into the school that previously denied me, and I was awarded $100,000 in scholarship to attend. 2 years ago when I applied with my 147, I would have been ECSTATIC to attend even if I had to pay full sticker price. I am a firm believer that when one door closes, another one opens, with the condition that you work hard and never give up!

These are my tips for anyone who thinks they can't learn the LSAT, and advice for anyone considering delaying a cycle for a stronger LSAT.

Thanks for reading, I've been waiting months/years to make this post. Please reach out with any questions!

TLDR: Went from 138 and thinking I was never going to be a lawyer to accepted with a 161 and having about 2/3 of my tuition paid.

Hi everyone! I'm currently signed up for the LSAT-Flex in July and am hoping to break the 170 barrier. When I have been taking PT's, I usually identify and notate the premises and conclusions with the highlighting tools, but not in a very consistent or standardized way. I would like to ask how others usually notate the LR stimuli and RC passages to get a better sense of how I can change/streamline my notation strategy and make it more consistent from PT to PT. Also given that the test is now digital, I have been finding it difficult to do low res summaries for RC and keep track of them. Does anyone have any tips to share on these issues for LR or RC? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hello -

this is probably an absurdly paranoid question but - we're allowed to use pens on the LSAT flex, right??

I'm asking this because on the LSAT flex page on LSAC, there's a list of acceptable materials:

Five blank sheets of scratch paper

Valid ID

No. 2 or HB pencils

A highlighter

An eraser (no mechanical erasers or erasers with sleeves)

A pencil sharpener

Tissues

Beverage in plastic container or juice box (maximum size: 20 oz/591 ml). Aluminum cans are not permitted.

It specifies pencils and highlighters... but not pens? Is that just an oversight? I've been using pens in studying and it would just be really weird if I couldn't actually use them for the test

Expanding on this, if anyone who has taken the previous lsat-flex has insight on what is ok/ not ok to have, it'd be much appreciated

Thank you!

Hey Guys! I finished the CC around 10 days ago and reviewed the topics I felt I needed to redo. I took 2 PTs in which I scored a 162 and 163( BR 164 on both). around -5/-4 on LR ,-3 On games and, -6/7 on RC. I'm messing up the level 5 and a few level 4 questions of all LR types.I race through 1-16 in around 20 mins with really good accuracy so I feel timing is not the reason I get the hard ones wrong. Im pretty decent at games even though I screw up the occasional weird game. I have not devoted too much time to RC so I can certainly improve by a point or two there. What I am really worried about is the -5 in LR, I always blind review thoroughly but I am however unable to catch what I did wrong on the level 5s despite drilling the harder Psets . What can I do differently to get my scores into the 170s? Im scheduled to take the Oct test and I can devote the next one month solely to LSAT prep. The medians of most of the schools I'm looking at is around 168 so I have to cross it all costs. Looking forward to advise from 170 scores on how they managed take the leap.

I am wondering if it would be beneficial or not to request accomodations on the LSAT for 50% additional time. I have a disability which would I believe would qualify me for extra time, however I don't want to request accomodations if it would look bad on my score for schools to see I got extra time, or if it would look bad if I requested accomodations but got denied. #help

Hi does anyone have easy access to the link that lists and groups the various LR question stems? I would greatly appreciate it!

Hi all! I took the lsat a year ago and scored 162. I retook May LSAT Flex this year and ended up cancelling the score. In my mocks, I've been scoring around -5LR, -6~-8RC, and -1LG. I have a month left to study for the July LSAT Flex and was wondering if you had any advice on how to drill things down in the last month I have to study. I came into 7sage having taken Blueprint lsat course already so I haven't gone through the program materials; I've just been using the questions. I would love to hear your thoughts esp. if there are things I can do with 7sage resources. Thanks in advance!

Some more details on my study method:

LR: I've worked through Cassidy's loophole book and have been doing Basic Translation drills. I got better at them but I tend to make stupid mistakes within the first 15questions which lowers my score.

RC: Honestly, I've kind of given up on this section... I've tried many methods like reading the passage twice and not going back to it during questions, making markings, etc. I've been trying to read challenging articles and work on timing but the score has not changed much in the past year.

Hi all, apologies if this has already been asked or is very clear to others, but I'm wondering about the entering of problem set data (what I chose for each question on problem sets in the CC), if I took them on paper (printed the pdf off), and then went through it. I don't want the analytics to "think" I did the PS in like 1 minute for example, because I could enter the data in a minute, but I actually took say 7 minutes.

Does anyone know how to do this, if it affects timing or anything?

Thanks!

I am having difficulty feeling like I am retaining information without having problem sets and questions physically infront of me to annotate. Is there a book that would complement 7sage? I like JYs explanations and videos, but I feel like I would greatly benefit from having problems in front of me that I can keep track of.

Hello,

After starting my prep using only the Khan Academy free LSAT lessons and becoming stalled on certain aspects of that course, I have moved over here to 7sage and purchased the Ultimate+ course. I understand from the introductory materials that on 7sage we start with the general basics on each section, making sure we understand the fundamental concepts behind the question types and categories. However, I am wondering if there is any way to factor in the fact that I am not starting off completely fresh, that I have already taken four PTs and been through four weeks of question-specific study, and I know the sections I struggle with and those that I have an easier time with. Is there any way that 7sage would be able to factor this in, or any way I can modify the lesson plan accordingly?

I am taking the July LSAT-Flex, but don't have a day and time yet - the waiting has been killing me! If anyone who already took the flex can inform me of when they sent out the form for scheduling this, that would be amazing!

My account says it will expire June 14th, and it also says it will expire in 2 days (June 12)...which one should I follow? I'm taking the Flex on the 15th so I would prefer it to expire the day before.
