Skipping my only hour of lunch break to sign up for the lsat flex and the email is MIA!!! Use this post to vent about lsac :)

I've recently made my way into the PT70s, and I so far I've been scoring in the lower 160s and BR in the high 160s. This is freaking me out a bit, since in previous PTs I've managed to average in the high 160s, and even a couple 170s. I'm taking the October Flex, and it's only a couple of weeks away. So if I'm doing something wrong, I need to figure it out now.

I think so far my biggest issue here is with LG and RC, since at least for LR I've been quite consistent with getting -4 and -5s. For LG, however, I've found that the PT70s have more unconventional LGs, and that often makes me unable to finish all the games on time. As for RC, I'm either going through the passages too fast and missing some questions, or I'm too slow and failing to finish the section on time. Either way, I think time is the biggest limiting factor on my LG/RC performance.

That being said, are there any tips on pacing or increasing performance on RC? I didn't go through with the RC Core Curriculum because I joined 7Sage later in my prep. process, so I might have missed something from these videos. Anything helps! Thanks!

Ever since the October test became Flex, I've been PTing using the "simulate flex" option on 7sage. However, I'm wondering if this will give me an inaccurate picture of how well I'm actually doing, since I don't know how 7sage decides which of the 2 original LR sections to pick, it could well be that I've been doing easier LR sections than what will actually appear on the test.

This being said, is there a good estimate out there of how the 7Sage simulated Flex scores will correlate with the actual Flex? Many thanks!

Hi everyone !

I have been study for the LSAT for the past eight months. I noticed a lot of improvement with LG & LR. I’m very frustrated though because I’m capable of getting a -2 on LG & a -5 on LR but every time I take a practice test , it’s like these months of studying have not been showing up, but the thing is that I’m capable of doing the questions !! I just cannot do it under timing conditions & it’s making me so angry. I don’t know what to do at this point , I feel like everything I have been studying hasn’t paid off , yet it has because I see improvement , just not with time. If anyone has any advice on what I should do, please tell me. I am just frustrated at this point.

I want to cancel my score using the Score Preview for First-Time Test Takers but does anyone know if this will also wipe my writing sample? I'm not keen on taking the writing portion again.

Hey everyone!

So I am registered for the October Flex, and the signup process begins tomorrow. The days available are Saturday the 3rd, Sunday the 4th, Tuesday the 6th, or Thursday the 8th. Anyone have any advice on which day to pick (i.e. to avoid longer wait times, any other relevant factors I should consider)? Thanks!

Hello! I took the August FLEX test and decided I would like to keep that score for my applications. I am registered for October (as this was my first LSAT, I had no idea what to expect), but would like to withdraw so I can spend more time on my essays and maintaining my GPA.

If I was to withdraw, does the fact I registered for October appear anywhere on my transcript? I have received one email for a school already wishing me luck on the October test, so I'm aware that the information is out there. However, when my app is reviewed by the admissions officers, does the October registration appear anywhere?

Thank you very much!

Hello,

I am registered for the LSAT Flex on October 3rd. I have read that the test will either be on that saturday, sunday, tuesday, or thursday. But does anyone know when LSAC will let us know exactly what day/time we are assigned to? Im confused as to whether I should be expecting something from them, and if so when? Any information would greatly help! Thanks :)

I have a quick question that hopefully someone may be able to answer:

I have the exact median score for 3 schools on my list. I know that (all else being equal), being "above" the median LSAT greatly improves chance for admissions and being "below" can be a tough obstacle to overcome.... what about people in my situation? For background, I am slightly above median GPA for two of these schools and about .1 below median GPA for the other.

Thanks so much!

I’m a US citizen/have a US home address etc but just moved to the UK to start grad school for a year. I took the August LSAT Flex in the US, but want to register for the November LSAT-Flex. November is not offered in the Europe region though!

Is the testing region based upon where you are located when taking the test, or where you are from? Could I register for the November LSAT (US region) even though I’m taking it in the UK?

More backstory:

I did register for October though so will take that test if I can't register for November. Ideally, I want to take it in November rather than October because I'll have more time. I got a 169 on the August LSAT (I'm grateful for the score), but know that I can do better (based upon my avgs), but think I'll need more time than 2 weeks.

I’m currently scheduled for the October LSAT but after much consideration I’ve decided to postpone for the November test. Per the LSAC website, test date changes must be made through my account but I’m not sure what I should be looking for and how to complete the process. The test date reschedule deadline is Friday so, any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

For the August flex test, I got 164 again for the second time same as the June flex. Honestly I couldn’t believe it and stared at the screen for like 5mins blinking lol. It was very disappointing because I thought I felt much more comfortable with RC and it’s usually my worst section but it doesn’t help that I can’t tell how I did on each section. Weeks approaching the test date, I was PTing around 167 -169 with some outliers. I’m seriously losing confidence in my ability to improve.. I would really appreciate to hear some of your advice / thoughts on whether it would be worth to study for 3rd take.

For some more context, I have 3.77 GPA and wish to go to T14 school (would love to go to NYU or Berkeley as I hope to go into public sector after). I’ve been working full time at a consulting firm for 3 years.

Hi All,

I've been tutoring with @Sami for the past few months and have been able to improve my LR from an average of -5 to a -1. In order to solidify the strategies I've learned, I would love to provide free tutoring to someone who is in the mid/high 160s scoring -4 to -6 in LR sections. I will have to stick with this range since this was where I was plateauing most recently and have learned the skills to overcome the high 160s plateau. I am based in Asia (GMT +8) so sessions will need to be scheduled in line with the timezone's hours. Do PM me if you're interested!

Edit: Due to the overwhelming amount of interest, I'll have to close this discussion and focus on those that have messaged. Thanks!

I'm wondering if anyone has any advice on how to spend the last 2 weeks before the LSAT? Should I focus on reviewing more or doing as many PTs as possible? I have only taken 9 PTs and my highest score was a 161 which is what I am aiming for at the very least. I'm very anxious about taking the test in 2 weeks so any advice would be very appreciated!!

Hi, I wonder if the Aug lsat count to the seven times test taking limit?

Hey everyone, I planned on purchasing the Ultimate+ month by month course but was wondering what the Bundle Prep Plus is and if it is worth adding to my purchase? Does it provide anything else worth purchasing? Thanks everyone!

"What is the best strategy to take notes on RC during the LSAT Flex? How do I keep track of what passage or word I am referring to in the notes if I write it in a scratch paper?"

I indicated to LSAC that I don't have a quiet place to test and haven't heard anything back from them. Has anyone else had this problem? I saw a while ago someone said LSAC gave them a reimbursement for a hotel room and wondering if I should reach out to them or if they will let me know what they can offer

With just about a month and a half to re-prepare for the exam, what is the best way to study to push past my August Flex score? Open to any and all suggestions!

I could improve my score by the time of the November LSAT, so I'm thinking of pushing my October LSAT back. However, I'm afraid this would put me in the later end of the law school application cycle and that my acceptance chances would diminish. Does anyone have any advice on this? Thanks!

Hi, does anyone know why LSAC cannot be reach out by phone? I tried several times, none of them work...

I saw on the lsac website that we could receive a voucher for a future lsat if we opted too. Does anyone know how to go about asking for a voucher? This is the number listed on the LSAC website 215.968.1001but every time I call I get a busy tone... Is anyone else having this same issue?

Hi guys! Quick question. November will be my first time taking the LSAT and I understand they watch you via camera? Are you allowed to have a beer while taking the test? Having one around relaxes me and significantly improves my score!

I don't even know what to do anymore! My first test (In person last year) was my best score despite me PTing around high 160s that time. I have basically just been doing practice flexes for the past 3-4 months and somehow still scored my worst on the August flex despite PTing consistently 174+ (even two 180s!) I really don't know where to go from here. I plan on taking November and know I can break 170 if not do even better. I would really appreciate some advice from some people who have been through this themselves.
