Hi everyone! It was just announced that the July LSAT will now be administered online as the LSAT-Flex format. I was hoping that anyone who took the previous LSAT-flex administrations could give advice to us who are about to take it!

Here are some question I have:

  • How do you wish you would have studied differently to account for the new format?
  • Do you have any advice for test day and dealing with the online proctoring system?
  • 3

    Did anyone get a loaner tablet from LSAC for their May FLEX test? If so, how was the user experience? And was it easy to navigate and read comfortably?

    At what point should you feel comfortable that you have "mastered" a particular approach to a LR question type, so that you no longer need to review all the answer choices? or should you ALWAYS read all the answer choices? For Example, in MP questions, if you find the answer choice to be "C", do you continue to read thru the other answer choices, or just select it and move on? Is there a difference to your strategy if you think "A" is the right answer choice, do you read all choices in that situation? Plz share any info on answering strategies to increase speed and accuracy. Thnx!

    Hi everyone! I'm an international test taker. As LSAC announced today, our paper test in June is becoming FLEX in July. This makes me very nervous since I've never experienced digital LSAT. So according to your experience, what kind of equipment works best for FLEX? Desktop v. Laptop, Mac v. Windows, with a mouse v. without a mouse, touch monitor v. non-touch monitor. Any advice is welcome! Thank you so much!

    Hi, I was supposed to take the 28 June test in East Asia but it's been switched to FLEX, and I'm trying to make an account for ProctorU for taking the FLEX.

    When I try to make an account it says "choose an institution" but my uni's name is not on the list nor can I choose the LSAC as my institution.

    How did y'all make your accounts?

    thanks

    Hi guys,

    I am registered for the July 13th LSAT. (Today is May 27th). I am contemplating whether or not I should invest into the 7Sage course. According to the Study schedule generator, I would have to work 134 hours per week. There is a total of 168 hours per week. Assuming I sleep 7 hours per day that gives me 112 hours per week. Which seems impossible. However, I have been self-studying since August of 2019 and my score increased from my cold diagnostic of 147 to my most recent being a 160. I have also did the powerscore bibles on logical reasoning and logic games. I want to maximize my score as much as I can and I find the 7Sage course breakdown one that I could productively follow rather then just doing preptest over and over and not seeing much improvement.

    Would it be a good idea/possible for me to finish the entire course by July 13th given that I have a moderately advanced understanding of most topics in the course but I feel relearning them in a different way will help me become more effective at the LSAT. Or is that just wishful thinking and I should just continue doing preptests and reviewing. Moving my test date is something I do not want to do as I am planning to apply to Canadian law schools for the fall of 2021 which opens up this coming summer.

    Hi everyone!

    I was just wondering if it's necessary to buy the LSAC 1year Prep Plus subscription to use 7sage (I'm currently still doing the 7sage free trial)? I already bought the most recent 10 Actuals book from LSAC so I have prep tests 72-81- is that enough or do I need to buy the subscription to benefit from 7sage?

    Thanks!

    With the deadline for the July test approaching in a few days... would it be best to take the July test as most likely Flex, or wait until August? I talked to a rep today about another topic and she mentioned that every single state has to be opened to go back to normal testing- all or nothing. I would love to hear from those who took Flex and the pros and cons!

    Hello everyone!

    Joined 7Sage recently and I had a question I would appreciate some advice on. I’m currently in the fourth year of law school (the semester is yet to commence) in India and I wanted to take the LSAT so I can enroll in a T-14 university. The Indian undergraduate degree is a five-year program, so I’ll be eligible to seek admission into law school only from 2022.

    Given this situation, I would appreciate it if anyone well-versed with the admissions process could tell me the right time to sit for the LSAT. Currently, I’m planning to take the test in January 2021, but considering that I won’t be free till mid-2022, is this a good decision?

    Hey Team!

    I studied for the LSAT religiously in 2016 via 7Sage, and took the December 2016 LSAT (scored a 172). I ended up not getting into my top choice, and consequently changed plans (completed an M.A. instead).

    That said, I'm planning on retaking the LSAT this July with the hopes of bumping my score up a few points. Has anything notable changed in the past four years that I need to be aware of? E.g., different question types, different question/section trends, etc.

    Thanks!

    We’re doing another round of early-bird enrollment for our Law School Explained courses.

    This time, enrollment will be open for one week, from Monday, June 1 to Sunday, June 7, for the following courses:

  • Criminal Law Explained, $14
  • Tort Law Explained, $14
  • Property Law Explained, $29
  • All courses are still in progress, and the price differences partially reflect the extent of their development. Cumulatively, we’ve produced over three dozen video lessons and over twelve hours of audio lessons, and we’re working around the clock to add more. New lessons will automatically appear in your course as we complete them. We expect to finish developing these courses later this year.

    Many of you might not be ready to divert your attention from the LSAT, so rolled into this launch is an extra-long access time of 24 months. This way, you can be reasonably sure that you’ll still get to use the course when you’re ready for it, and that it will be complete by the time you do.

    Recap:

  • Early-bird access to Criminal, Tort, and Property Law Explained
  • On sale from Monday, June 1 to Sunday, June 7 for $29 and $14
  • 24 months of access
  • Enroll here
  • After June 7, enrollment will be closed until we complete more content.

    Hi,

    Since the new LSAT is digital, plus the LSAT Flex being administered on your own computer, would you recommend printing out the practice tests and taking them that way or taking them from the computer to get used to it? Or do you think there is not much of a difference? (Personally, I prefer printing them out but not sure if that will hurt me in the long run!)

    Thank you!

    Hi all,

    Quick question regarding the new 7Sage pricing/bundles LSAT study courses. I see it's required to have LSAC's LSAT Prep Plus. I haven't purchased LSAT Prep Plus through LSAC yet, and plan to buy the month by month 7Sage bundle with Prep Plus.

    How does your LSAC account know you've purchased the LSAT Prep Plus through 7Sage? In checkout it doesn't seem like there's an option to enter your LSAC account info, etc. Thanks in advance for any clarification!
