Hi All!

I was wondering whether there was a good order to practice taking preptests in for the Flex: lawhub has them from LG to LR to RC, but it seems that on the actual tests themselves, the order is more often LR to LG to RC? Was this also pretty true of the Flex? Or does anyone know if there were multiple orders on the Flex?

Thanks!

Thank you to JY and the entire 7sage community.

It's been a tough six months personally, so I am so grateful I got to be where I am now. I didn't know anyone personally in my life at law school or going through the admissions process to turn to, so the advice on here was super helpful -- especially searching back for years-old threads.

Thank you to @Sami for the free tutoring sessions she has offered and for her overall test day advice. I truly think practicing some questions from each section before the exam (as simple as it sounds) was a game changer for me.

The crazy person in me is thinking of trying one more test in August, even though my goal was to just break 170, as money is a huge factor and I don't want to put myself in a position where I am hurt financially by not trying to go up a bit. So if anyone has any input on that (not to be ungrateful for my score), please let me know!

But for now, I am going to try as much as I can to be proud of myself for once and celebrate. Huge congrats to all my fellow test-takers out there who got their score today. There's so much hurting right now in general, so I hope you all give yourself the space to relax and recharge when need be.

I'm not sure how helpful this post has been, but all I can say is, just focus on yourself throughout the entire process. For my first exam, all I did was study for the LSAT. I watched videos before bed, at the gym, and that if I wasn't spending time preparing, that I was just wasting time. But on test day, the pressure I built up was just unhealthy and I couldn't even finish 2 sections. So this time around, I tried to still be as "normal" and calm as possible, put it all in perspective and it made all the difference.

Thank you all for these resources, and for JY committing to making this as affordable as possible for us all and having our best interests in mind always.

I’m pretty sure there are my fellow night owls who can’t go to sleep early. When do you guys wake up to start studying. I can’t sleep early enough to wake up around 8 a.m. But I feel like I’m losing time not waking up early. Any thoughts?

Hi! I am granted to take the LSAT with 53mins per section. However, I cannot find a way on 7Sage to take a practice exam with my accommodations. The only way I can, is printing off the practice exam timing myself and manually enter my answers, to get my score. But, I cannot go back and put my BR answers, to see the true difference automatically (like I could digitally with normal testing time). Please HELP! I want to take a practice test with accommodations on 7Sage if possible. Or do you all have any other sources to do this?

I hope this makes senses. Thanks again in advance.

I will be taking the June Flex test and I'm wondering what the rules are with scratch paper - how many pages, what sections it is allowed on, showing it to the proctor, etc. Also, if anyone took the May test and could explain how logging on and going through directions with the proctor went, that would be super helpful. I am starting to feel a bit nervous about test day and I think understanding everything that I can expect will ease those nerves a bit. Thank you!!

Hi guys! I need an advice on something that's been bothering me all day. I haven't applied to any school yet but I found out that some schools actually ask you to list high school attended on their apps. As a high school dropout who got a GED instead of a hs diploma, I'm worried that this might look bad to some schools. Do schools (more specifically T14) care where/if you graduated from a high school or does it not matter at all as long as you have a college degree? Thank you!!

I just wanted to say a big thank you to JY and everyone else at 7Sage. I took my first LSAT back in November of 2018 before studying. I scored a 142 and felt horrible. I have worked hard for the past six months with the materials from 7Sage. I just received the results back from the LSAT-Flex and I scored a 156. To everyone out there that feels like you can't improve your score enough, just keep working and it'll happen!

Hi everyone! Hope you are all doing well!

I am debating whether to apply this cycle or wait until the next. I am currently PT-ing around 155 and am foolproofing LG now (diagnostic was 148 in October, but didn't seriously start studying until mid April). My goal is absolutely 170+ as I need the scholarship money. My initial plan is to take the October exam. I know I can achieve this score on the exam, but I'm aware that a 15 point jump from now until then is not a guarantee so I'm not sure if I can do it in this timeframe, and on top of that I have to work on my applications and do my part time job and apply for a full time job- If I apply this cycle I would try to apply by the end of October to be early.

My question is: is balancing studying and applying doable in this time frame? I have to find a full time job anyway even if I apply this cycle, and I do not mind waiting one more cycle (which would give me a lot more time to get the score I want on the LSAT and apply).

My other concern is with LORs. I graduated from college in 19' and just completed a Fulbright grant, so I'm just one year out of college. I have a good relationship with most of my recommenders but I'm nervous if I wait to ask my profs next summer the LORs wont be as strong as it'll be 2 years since I was in their classroom. Is it possible to ask them to write it this summer even if I might be applying next year?

Thank you in advance! I'm sorry this post is a little all over the place .Just trying to get insight into the process and timing to decide what's realistic for me.

Not sure what I should do.

Goal is T14 with money. Gpa is 4.0. To play it safe lets just say average - slightly below average softs.

PT scores were all over the place, with a 166 a week before test day with many 170s weeks and months leading up to it. Average of last 5 before test day was 169.6.

I have a month left until July. Should I just take it and run? Or should I try again.

Hi all! I'm registered for the July FLEX test and have been studying for about two months now. I've been through the PowerScore LG Bible Manhattan Prep LR and RC. I've also worked through a bunch of the core curriculum lessons, particularly for areas where I need the most help.

My diagnostic score way back in March was a 154, with my weakest section being LG. I've only taken 7 full tests since then, but I'm panicking a bit because my scores vary pretty significantly. My highest scores have been a 169 + 170, and my lowest scores have been 161 + 162.

For reference, my goal score is a 168. My undergrad GPA is a 3.95, so I'm really hoping to go to a T25 with a pretty significant scholarship.

I'm just stressed because I feel like I understand the LR pretty well, but in the practice test I just took today, I got 10 LR wrong in a single section! Does anyone have any advice? Has this happened with any of you? How can I make sense of this variation in PT scores?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated because I'm started to freak out, especially as the test keeps getting closer.

Does anyone have screenshots or can they describe how RC section on Lawhub (or ideally LSAT flex) looks on a larger monitor? This is a minor concern but I am studying on a 14 inch laptop and find the scrolling on RC passages makes it slightlly harder to retain the structure. I am wondering if on a larger monitor you can see the entire passage without having to scroll.

Thanks for any info!

I was doing an RC section yesterday - from PT 18, and I got 28/28 questions correct. Admittedly, this is a small victory in the general sense, but for me, it felt so good. I had never before scored perfect on any section - always at -1 or -2 being the closest I got. It felt absolutely outstanding to see all green everywhere. I have been improving greatly in my RC ability, and this felt satisfying. Motivation to keep going forward!

Hello everyone. With recent tests being LSAT-Flex, I wanted to find a thread that answers some questions I have in case August will also be flex. If you know of any info regarding August's test outlook, please let us known in this thread.

  • I heard some people say there's no scratch paper, is this true? IF so, how are we going to write down logic.
  • Any difficulties as far as the experience that should be known? Are we using our laptops at home? Will the mouse be able to highlight and all those features we had previously?
  • Any one else have questions or comments please add below :)

    Venting here a little bit but does anyone else feel like quarantine is accelerating the pace of burnout?? Not that anyone can change anything but I feel like I might be able to study more and more effectively without all this.. Apologies for the negativity.

    On the positive side, I scored my highest PT (41) ever last week (172 - 176 BR) which was pretty awesome but its just doing all of the drills, full-proofing and review in preparation for the next PT that just seems so much slower while at home with minimal routine.
