Has anyone taken the Flex with a TV in their room? I plan on taking it in my living room for superior internet connection but I'm worried the TV will be an issue - it'll be inconvenient to take it out.

The FAQ page mentions media players aren't allowed in general, not sure if TV is included.

Already emailed LSAC about this but not sure if I'll get an answer so wanted to check in with you guys.

I've read so many horror stories about bad proctors on ProctorU from people who've already sat for the May and June flex tests. How do I go into the July flex with a positive attitude without feeling like the system is dooming us from the get-go?

Is anyone else nervous about this? If so, what have you been doing to help your nerves? If anyone has had a positive experience with ProctorU, I'd really appreciate it if you could share it here!

Hi all! So I recently took my diagnostic test (PT 75 chosen randomly, I know kinda dumb) and got a 153. During the test, I just fell like I was feeling off and my head was kind of foggy maybe? On a whim, I took PT 76 a week later with virtually no review or studying, and I got a 163. I don't know what score I should use as my diagnostic or which is more indicative of my raw abilities. Is the second test not considered my diagnostic because I had already taken a PT and was therefore loosely acquainted with the LSAT? I know that your diagnostic score isn't hugely important, but it's useful to track your progress. Any insight is appreciated!

Does anyone know if we can use a laptop like the Microsoft Go to utilize the touch features and to orient the screen similar to the tablet experience? Also, when using a laptop, is there a way to choose which webcam proctorU will use if you have multiple options? I was told the proctors need to have a certain field of view so they can see you at all times so I was curious if we could disable the front facing one and use a third party / usb attached webcam so we can lay our laptops in a way some of us might be more comfortable with.

Thank you for any insight! :)

Over the past few months I've taken about 16 exams from the 50s-80s and even excluding the scores I got towards the start of my studying, it appears there is a significant gap in the average scores for my exams from the 50s/60s (avg. 172, max 176, min 170), and the 70s/80s (avg. 168, max 171, min 167).

The difference in my performance comes from the RC and LG sections, but I'm not sure why... Are there certain question types that have become more common in the more recent exams in both RC and LG? Any help figuring this out would be much appreciated. At the moment I'm just wishing I could have taken the exam a decade ago.

I had a 160 diagnostic in May 2020. I finished the CC about a week ago and scored a 166 with 170 BR on PTF97 and today scored a 171 with 177 BR on PT 36. My sections scores were LG -0 CR -1 and LR -9.

I am cautiously excited about this improvement.

Does anyone have advice on improving in LR? The 171 was probably just a fluke because I got a good games and reading section.

I've been stuck for the past couple weeks at the 168/9 range and have been struggling to break 170. Do you think it's possible to break 170 in the next two weeks (I'm taking the July LSAT) and does anyone have any advice on how I can improve? I've been averaging1-3 RC, 0-5 LR, 2-8 LG. I've just started the 7sage curriculum and have been focusing on LG since that seems like the easiest section to perfect.

Hi all,

I just learned that we need to use ProctorU account to sign up for the time slots. I have registered for a ProctorU account using the same email that I used for my LSAC account. What I'm confused is that these two accounts are totally independent to each other, then how can ProctorU know I'm a test-taker? Should my LSAC account the same as ProctorU account? If yes, how to do so? (maybe I'm just overthinking lol)

Thanks for any thoughts!

Where are you planning to take the LSAT flex? My home is not conducive for this (7 people) and my libraries are still closed from Covid. Any and all recommendations would be sincerely helpful! Thank you!

Hi yall, I'm in the middle of my first blind review. I can't seem to find info though on whether or not I need to select an answer during the blind review if I'm not changing it. In other words, if I think I got the answer right the first time, do I need to click the answer choice or will it automatically assume I went with the same answer. I'm trying to make sure my blind review score will be accurate

When I took my diagnostic about 5 weeks ago, it was a 140. I took my fourth practice test and despite having gotten 2-3 points increases, I'm back to 140. Clearly, devastated. I feel like I know so much more about the test (and specifically LR) and I hate that my score isn't reflecting that. I am steadily improving in RC without studying, but the opposite for LR. Can anyone offer words of encouragement about their experiences? The earlier I'm taking the LSAT is in November, so I do have a lot of time left. Am I expecting big improvement too soon? I'm hoping to break 150 by the end of July, but I did think I would be there by now. Also, I study around 3 hours everyday, but sometimes I skip days.

Hey everyone, I’ve finished the CC and have been taking practice tests to apply what I’ve learned. Since I started the practice tests, I have scored a 161 on every. single. test. I’ve tried to go back and look over the lessons but my score still won’t budge. Advice on getting unstuck??

Hey everyone,

I'm getting more and more nervous as the test day is creeping up, mostly because I couldn't reach my target score yet. I'm still scoring at the low 160's and BR'ing around low 170's. I average at around -5 in each section and I'm looking for ways to use my remaining time most efficiently to boost my score.

I have been taking 1 PT every two weeks during my prep stage, and I recently got it down to 1 PT every week. Now I'm wondering if next week (the week before the LSAT!) I should take 2 PT's for extra practice OR focus on problem sections that I'm more likely to see results in, being LG and LR, and drill individual sections. I thought I could divide my days into two dedicating one half to LG and the other half to LR for example and do only 1 PT for that week as usual.

The same question goes for the week of the LSAT but this time it is should I take one PT and focus on that or drill ONLY timed LR and LG sections.

And on a side note, while I feel like I finally have a good grasp on LG, the best score I've got so far was a -3. I seem to be losing points due to stupid counting/diagramming mistakes or going too fast on questions that required more time. I don't do such mistakes when foolproofing so I'm wondering if for the last weeks I should be taking fresh LG sections and then BR/review them exclusively to see the quickest results.

If anyone has other recommendations or words of advice I would appreciate them so so much.

Thanks and happy studying :)

Hi all, I need some clarification on how to interpret the Review Results Analytics after problem sets are completed.

After completing a problem set, when hovering over the “Answer Choices” (A, B, C, D, E) what do the numbers above each choice represent? They look like a range of LSAT scores. Do/how do these numbers correlate to the “Curve” bar to the right of the “Answer Choices”?

Lastly, what are the differences between "Question Difficulty" and "Psg/Game/S Difficulty"?

Thanks!

I have registered for the July LSAT-FLEX. What would be the last day to withdraw with coupon? I am considering withdrawal because I am still in 60% of myt core curriculum and didn't fell prepared. I have also registered for the August test. Any recommendation that I should still take the July test just to get first-hand experience for the test?
