I know this has been asked already, but that was 6 years ago. I am on the weakening part of the syllabus and there are 15 problem sets. I feel kind of comfortable almost halfway through, so I get the urge to move on. However, I am not sure if that is a good strategy. Do you guys move on to another section in order to save some problem sets for later?

Hi everyone.

Just two quick questions on the LSAT Flex:

Is the full screen option available on the real LSAT Flex? (Just like 7Sage where you can maximize it to the extent of your web browser.) LSAC's LawHub simulator does not seems to support them but I'm guessing they're simulating the in-person digital tablet test, not the Flex.

Also, are line numbers cited on RC? Again, LawHub's simulator doesn't cite line numbers, which is a bit bonkers...

Thank you.

Hi,

Is it possible to take a practice section through 7 sage without taking the whole test? I am unable to click on a section without going through the prior sections first.

Thanks!

I take my test in half an hour and wanted to log-on early... I have gone to ProctorU but don't see anything besides my exam time. How do I connect to a proctor??

Hi everyone,

So I am determined to apply this upcoming cycle and have registered for the August test. However, I want to leave room for a second attempt so I am considering signing up for the October test as well.

My plan would be to see how my score is from August -I believe I would get the result in late September- and then I would withdraw from the October test depending on whether or not I am satisfied with my score.

I honestly don't care so much about losing money for the late withdrawal at this point; I just want the added peace of mind that comes with knowing I have a possible second attempt.

I am just wondering whether or not a late withdrawal will be reflected on my application negatively, if it appears there at all.

Would anyone be aware of these details?

I would appreciate any help and advice very much!

Hi I am scheduled to write the exam tomorrow but on the proctor U website now it just says pending on the status rather than the time i registered for. Does yours also say the same ? Thanks

I decided to withdraw from this weekend's administration. On the status page on LSAC's website I do not see any option to withdraw. I gave them a call but they are not open until Wednesday. I sent an email and also submitted a message on their contact us page. Is there anything else to do in order to avoid an absent marking for the exam? Did I misinterpret the withdraw deadline? Is n't it at midnight tonight?

Thank you for any insights!

I am having trouble viewing the quick view on certian question- it says the link is expired. I can view the question when going to the explination and when looking at earlier tests but not the mid 40+ range tests.

Hey everyone,

I am taking the July 14th flex exam and was curious if anyone has had an issue of "download speed can't be found" I have tested it on other websites and am downloading at a speed 3x higher than recommended. Wondering if anyone else has had this experience and what was done to fix it.

thanks

Nervous about registering for a flex lsat if they will be doing lsat like this for a while because I have been doing practice tests the traditional five section way for a while. Do you think it will be more difficult to get a higher score with only three sections or will it be about the same? And supposedly they aren’t going to make it more difficult because it’s three sections but I honestly don’t know if that’s going to be the case lol. Also how do you think law schools will view a flex score ?

Hey everyone,

My studying began at the very end of last year. I just received my first 170, albeit with some extra time added on to the PT. When discussing speed, I've heard the maxim, "Slow is fast and fast is smooth" and am attempting to live by this motto. Within the speed zeitgeist, there is also the skipping strategies from Mike Ross and Can'tgetright, which are incredibly useful. For anyone else scoring within this range, could you provide either general principles or specific rules that help you gain speed without sacrificing accuracy? Alternatively, you can just affirm that speed is a function of practicing more frequently and I'll begrudgingly accept that.

Lastly, if you are in need of a study buddy, I am up for being asked "dumb" questions if I can ask foolish things in return. I plan on really considering this July Flex test (even with its drawbacks) with August as a hopeful take.

Thanks!

I just started 7sage a few weeks ago. Should I start taking practice tests throughout the core curriculum? I understand that I won't know the best approach for most of the question types at this point and don't want to "waste" the prep tests if I'm not ready.

Any recommendations on when to start integrating them into my weekly study plan? Thank you!

Hi - I know this is a nice problem to have but I am looking for advice on if it makes sense to move from June to July LSAT. I am registered for both but hope to take once with highest score possible. My study schedule and overview of PTs are below. I am feeling a bit exhausted but also have always had a shoot your shot mentality and would not hate being done with LSAT on Monday.

My question is how much can I expect to improve if I take a few days to decompress this weekend and then refine with PTs 79-84 doing 1-2 a week for next few weeks? This would probably involve me taking LSAT time down from 80% of time to 30-50%. Would it be typical (expected?) for a test taker with below level of scores to move up to more consistent high 170s? Or does the below pattern indicate an end to realistic improvement. Thank you and good luck to everyone jamming on this stuff.

Overview of studies:

I moved through LSAT trainer in about 1 month while picking and choosing core curriculum lessons as I felt it was needed. I started PT'ing at the the start of June scoring:

April 15 - May 31: LSAT trainer and core curriculum

June onward PT and blindreview:

76 - 169 (173)

77 - 168 (171)

78 - 173 (174)

79-83: saved

84 - 171 (171)

85 - 168 (172)

86 - 169 (170)

87 - 171 (172)

88 - 169 (176)

89 - 173 (173)

I can go -0 in an given section but tend to have one section always go -3 to -5... Timing is improving especially on LR (maybe 5 minutes at end and getting better). RC is always tighter for time. LG has most variability.

If you want to retake a PT in digital format, can you do this or do you have to just set up problem sets?

At what point do I know I've completed the core curriculum? Currently, I'm on weakening questions - but I noticed there's nowhere on the syllabus that specifically states "core curriculum." I know its L, LR, and RC but how do I know when I've completed those lessons on the syllabus?

I guess I have a question. If the June test is the LSAT flex, would they release a 4 section test or just 3 section for the books they publish and sell to you for prepping purposes? It seems bit confusing to prep for 4 to 5 section and using the 5 section as an experimental. The actual test is just 3 sections now with LSAT flex. I mean how do you score it a 3 section test? I am sort of confused at the moment. If you can explain where it makes, it would be most helpful.

I took PT 11 yesterday and scored wayyyy lower than my average. Are these tests on par with 36+ on difficulty?

Did LSAC/ProctorU specify what things on your desk/table are absolute no-no's?

Hey guys! I started 7sage this week, and I'm planning to take the LSAT for the first time in October. The course hours are intimidating and a part of me is scared that I wont have enough time to get through all the lessons on each section. I know I have a couple of months to go, but does anyone recommend skipping over lets say the LR section (which is quite beefy) and going straight to the Logic Game section (the section I struggle the most with). I would obviously come back to complete the LR section, I just feel I am going to need more time to understand the LG games and don't want to leave it alone. Has anyone else started studying an other section out of order? Did you think it was fine skipping a section and comping back or did you wish you did it in order?

I'm currently registered for the July LSAT-Flex. Can someone tell me if I'm supposed to wait for an email from LSAC that will direct me on how to register for a ProctorU account, or am I supposed to go ahead and make one myself? Thanks much in advance!

Hi！Does anyone know how to tell whether a specific test center will offer digital test or not? I know that in USA and Canada digital tests have been widely adopted,but I registered for a test center in Asia and I have no idea whether they will provide digital test there.

I was sitting down at a hotel lobby getting ready to take my first LSAT ever. I remember reading huge words and arguments and thought to myself: "Ok, I will never be a lawyer, this is only the entrance exam and I can barely shake it, how am I ever going to be an attorney?

I got a 138, and only about 5 questions right on Logic games. After studying for about 3 months, (not very many hours per week) I finally took a official LSAT and got a 147. I needed a 155 to have a decent shot at the regional school I wanted to attend - I got denied.

Fast forward a year and I study for a few more weeks, thinking I only need a little bit of improvement to scrape together that 155. I was wrong, I took another official test but cancelled because I knew I wasn't going to get that 155. At this point I thought I was NEVER going to law school.

I came across J.Y., his amazing team, and this amazing group of people here on 7sage. I decided to quit my job and dedicate 6 full months to really learn the LSAT, like from the bottom up. I mastered games first through full-proofing and then LR, and then on to RC. My highest PT was 161 and that's what I actually got on game day.

With my new and improved 161 score, I was accepted into the school that previously denied me, and I was awarded $100,000 in scholarship to attend. 2 years ago when I applied with my 147, I would have been ECSTATIC to attend even if I had to pay full sticker price. I am a firm believer that when one door closes, another one opens, with the condition that you work hard and never give up!

These are my tips for anyone who thinks they can't learn the LSAT, and advice for anyone considering delaying a cycle for a stronger LSAT.

Thanks for reading, I've been waiting months/years to make this post. Please reach out with any questions!

TLDR: Went from 138 and thinking I was never going to be a lawyer to accepted with a 161 and having about 2/3 of my tuition paid.

Hi everyone! I'm currently signed up for the LSAT-Flex in July and am hoping to break the 170 barrier. When I have been taking PT's, I usually identify and notate the premises and conclusions with the highlighting tools, but not in a very consistent or standardized way. I would like to ask how others usually notate the LR stimuli and RC passages to get a better sense of how I can change/streamline my notation strategy and make it more consistent from PT to PT. Also given that the test is now digital, I have been finding it difficult to do low res summaries for RC and keep track of them. Does anyone have any tips to share on these issues for LR or RC? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hello -

this is probably an absurdly paranoid question but - we're allowed to use pens on the LSAT flex, right??

I'm asking this because on the LSAT flex page on LSAC, there's a list of acceptable materials:

Five blank sheets of scratch paper

Valid ID

No. 2 or HB pencils

A highlighter

An eraser (no mechanical erasers or erasers with sleeves)

A pencil sharpener

Tissues

Beverage in plastic container or juice box (maximum size: 20 oz/591 ml). Aluminum cans are not permitted.

It specifies pencils and highlighters... but not pens? Is that just an oversight? I've been using pens in studying and it would just be really weird if I couldn't actually use them for the test

Expanding on this, if anyone who has taken the previous lsat-flex has insight on what is ok/ not ok to have, it'd be much appreciated

Thank you!
