Just curious how others are approaching this final week or so. Are you taking more PT's? Just doing sections? Or are you taking your foot off the gas a little bit to ensure you are fresh for the real thing?

I'm curious because I was drilling PT's pretty intensely and I could feel myself getting burnt out. I've started doing a section or two a day and that is a little better, but I wonder if even that is too much. I just really don't want to be mentally exhausted for the test.

Thanks for your input and help!

Hi everyone, I have a question that I would really like some input on from fellow members on here. I started studying for the lsat in the beginning of December with PowerScore books and did that for about two and half months with a few practice sections scattered in that time as well. I realized towards the end of February that I was not getting anywhere so I signed up for 7 sage and took the diagnostic which I scored a 142 on. I went through the cc pretty meticulously, read the loophole, and foolproofed games 1-35. I took my first post cc pt on the 1st of July and scored a 152, and then tonight I hit 160 with a Br score of 167. I went -12 total in LR, -6 in RC, and -8 in LG. My goal score is a 165. The deadline to sign up for August is the 15th so I kind of need to decide if I should attempt that test date soon. My other option is October. I guess I am wondering if you guys think I’m better off just registering for October giving myself lots of time, or trying to push even harder than I have been the next month and a half to be able to get a score and applications in sooner, of course if I get my desired score. I also would welcome any advice on what to do for LG, I foolproofed 1-35 but still can’t seem to get to -3 range. Thanks in advance for the responses!

Hi, I am scoring in the low 160s looking to get a 175+. I am currently working full time but am willing to take as long as it takes to get the score I want. However, I would like to get there, if possible, for this admission cycle. I am missing an average of -5 per section with some sections getting -3 sometimes but not consistently low in any one section. But have only taken like 3-4 prep-tests.

Any Advice? Looking for someone who can help me understand how to make the jump. Any study plan advice?

Thanks

On the LSAC site it says you can bring a pencil. Has anyone taken it with a pen?

Are you taking the full practice test or just the 3 flex sections and using the converter tool?

Some people have indicated that their score went down when the did the flex version. Has anyone experienced this?

I recently completed the core curriculum and decided to take PT 36 completely untimed. I scored a 172, and although I know this is not indicative how I will perform under actual testing conditions, does anyone have tips on how to improve timing? I am aiming to hit the 170+ range timed by the end of August (not sure if this is reasonable).

Greetings everyone,

For those who have taken the LSAT or plan to take the LSAT in August, I'm around 65% into the curriculum starting In/Out and grouping games then reading comp. then PT's... Should I start a few PT's now even though I am a couple weeks away from finishing LG and reading comp?

Also if anyone wants to drop tips from the Flex test that would be super helpful, I've heard some common issues in different threads.

Hi everyone, it’s my first month of learning on 7Sage, so haven’t fully grasped all the numbers!

Just noticed there are scores above the ACs on LR questions. For example, the curve of the Q was from 125-140, but the numbers above the ACs ranged from 155 to 165. Does that mean that, for example, someone who picks AC B on average scores 162? Then, what’s the point of The Curve?

Thanks!

I am an international student (from India) studying at USC. There are new ICE guidelines regarding F-1 visa holders, which may bar me from entering the country in the next month. Since, I need to register for the August LSAT in the next week, does anyone know if I can register for the US region but then take the LSAT flex from India (if I am unable to enter the country for the fall semester)? This is assuming they decide to conduct the August LSAT remotely as well.

Hey everyone,

I was wondering if anyone had advice for how to improve focus/attention span for long periods of time. Sometimes during PTs I find myself having to read a question 3 times to finally focus and understand what it is saying, which is a huge waste of time. I feel like it was easier to get immersed into activities when I was younger, and now my attention span is floundering!

I exercise about 4 times a week, and have started to cut back on my phone apps that might shorten my attention span (rip tik tok and twitter). Any other advice is greatly appreciated.

Some extra info: My last PT was a 167 but I'm hoping to break 170 for the August test. I'm scheduled to take 16 more PTs before my actual exam (do you think breaking 170 in this time is possible?)

thanks!

Hello guys, my first timed PT was a 161, I've taken probably 20 PT's since then and the most i've managed to improve is 162. I have read Mike Kim's LSAT trainer, studied my analytics and taken the 7sage Syllabus that correspond with my weakest answers, I've read PowerScore books, and more. I literally have learned so much since my first PT, I literally didn't know anything about relationships or diagramming, and now I can successfully diagram, finish with time to spare, yet I'm consistently doing worse in all categories. I am so disappointed and frustrated. What am I doing wrong???

After getting thoroughly clapped on the June LSAT (8 Points lower than my PT average), I figured many factors could've played into it. I've taken 18 PTs all-time.

For those who have taken an administered test or are close to taking their administered LSAT, how many Practice Tests have you taken and would wish to take?

Hello! I am someone who gets nauseous when I am nervous. I am afraid during the test I may feel the need to barf or run off to the bathroom.

I am also a low income student with no anxiety medication.

I am an also industrious student and trying to make myself as comfortable as possible with the test before test day!!!

Does anyone have any tips for those with horrible stomachs that contain our worst fears? lol

Has anyone done a cleanse leading up to test day?

Anyone else experience anything similar?

***The standard breathing exercises won't help with a physical manifestation of anxiety (at least in my experience), so any responses telling me to calm down/breathe/etcetera won't be the most helpful ;(

I eat healthy and go on walks everyday. I will try my hand again at yoga

Best

Hi everyone,

Slightly different post here.

I have the opportunity to sit down and talk with a superior court judge and I'm just looking to draw up some questions for him.

I thought I'd reach out to the community here to get some different perspectives.

If anyone has any suggestions I would love to hear them!

I recall a post about the June LSAT Flex where someone said their proctor repeatedly interrupted them because they couldn't see what they were writing on the scratch paper. Sorry to not be commenting on that original post, as for some reason I can't find it anymore. I was wondering if this was just a particularly finicky proctor, or are you actually required to show the entirety of your scratch paper while you're working on it? If anyone who has taken Flex can comment on their webcam placement, I'd be really grateful! I guess I don't see how it could be pointed directly at your face and at a piece of paper on your desk at the same time? Thanks in advance :)

When will we learn if the August LSAT will be Flex? Anyone have any ideas?

So, I've been studying for the LSAT since February but only got 7Sage in mid-April. While I've seen massive improvement, I just hit an all-time high this past weekend (FINALLY breaking the 170 barrier!) and I think with another month or so I could score that on the actual exam.

I'm scheduled to take the July LSAT-flex this coming week, and the deadline for August is July 15. I don't want to take the October since I'm hoping to be getting my applications out by then. I guess I'm wondering if there's a disadvantage to prematurely signing up for the August test? If I score my highest I would try and back out of the exam unless, for some reason, that's a huge "no" to schools. I've been super anxious about it and feel like having the August as a safety net would help but am worried of any unanticipated consequences I may not be thinking of.

Hey Guys! I will be taking the LSAT in October. I finished the CC in the last week of June. I built a new schedule which involves me taking 22 PTs before Test day. Only doing 22 PTs would allow be to devote enough time to reviewing every mistake and drilling my weak areas. I took my first PT today and scored a 163. My goal is to hit 168. Is a 5 point jump achievable as I take and review more PTs? or should I go back to the CC and spend more time on my weak areas and then start PTing?

My score breakdown is as follows LR -5( -4 BR) LG -3 (-1 BR) RC -7 (-5 BR)

Hi all - do I need a printed ticket to show the proctor on ProctorU for the LSAT-Flex? Thank you!

Hello!

So I am preparing (again!) to take the February LSAT (or even delay to June) and I feel I have a fairly thorough approach.

Years ago, I found some success with the PowerScore bibles. Fewer years ago, I thoroughly enjoyed 7Sage’s methods but felt I wasn’t fully prepared to grasp some of the more advanced methods. So, here is my plan (I like seeing different perspectives/approaches for questions to find what’s best for me):

Phase 1: I am restarting my study with the LSAT Trainer to provide a broad foundation.

Phase 2: I will then move to a more focused approach with the LG Bible, LR Bible, and Manhattan RC book. Then the LR Loophole book.

Phase 3: Finally, I will move to 7Sage after I have developed a strong foundation and will be able to appreciate the more advanced methods (such as conditional chaining).

How should I incorporate the practice tests? Ideally, I would like to save the tests that I can for after working through this material.

One one hand, I feel like I should do some tests as I work through each phase. Maybe at the very least take one at the end of each phase?

On the other hand, I know the importance of drilling and simply reading the information is not going to be enough for me. I’m hopeful that the drills and examples in the chapters will be helpful but I am doubtful they will be enough.

I think at a steady pace it will take me about 3 months to get through this material which would leave me with four months of practice tests until February. With thorough blind review, I think my limit will be two practice tests a week.

So, what say you?!!! I appreciate any and all responses.

My diagnostic was a 144 but I would like to blame my cat for a few missed points.

Thanks for reading my thesis and best of health to you all.

I’m getting a message during my problem sets that my security token has expired and it kicks me out completely. Can you please advise? Thank you.

I'm taking the July flex exam next Saturday and I feel so discouraged. I'm not sure what to do to feel more confident for next week. Any advice?

Does ProctorU work on a Kindle HD or HP Stream?

Hi y'all. I recently received my score back on the June Flex LSAT and scored a 167. Would it be possible to increase my score to 170+ by August (recommendations for study schedule and tips would be great!). I self studied before with just Khan Academy and was getting between 168-170 on pt

For LG: you need to diagram on paper and then create additional description for choices on paper for each question. On paper-based test, part of the printed problem and choices could be easily re-used, but not on computer-test.

For RC: if you take paper notes, look up and down every time for each questions' answer choices

For LR: The computer-program only shows 4 ACs not all 5, so have to scroll up and down all the time, not getting the comprehensive view.

These may seem trivial things for those who don't have issue with timing, but they all add up a lot during the test mainly for LG/RC. how do you handle each one of these issues?
