Not really a discussion, I just think y'all should add a tag for except questions.

I have a sneaky feeling that analytics would show that to be one of my biggest priorities of study if that tag was available. I also think that it's just generally useful.

Thanks!

I bought a one month package and cancelled right away so I wouldn't accidentally not cancelled. Now I want to extend. How do I do this? My package ends tonight

Im foolproofing all the games from 1-35. However, if you guys are also foolproofing, do you do the Miscellaneous games as well? I know they are beneficial for picking out inferences that can help with future games but the setups for these games are so different compared to the games now. Would ya'll recommend still doing these games or drill games such as sequencing, in out, grouping etc instead?

Hi everyone, August Lsat-flex taker here.

I wanted to ask what kind of scratch paper we are allowed to use. I think it states blank paper but I heard from lots of people that took the previous flex that they used lined paper without problems.

I would also prefer to use lined because my writing tends to get messy with blanked.

Hello everyone,

I am planning on writing the November test, and am wondering:

When will the LSAC announce whether the November test will be in-person or flex? (I cannot imagine the test not being flex, but I am curious as to whether other people share the same thoughts)

While we do not know whether the November test will be flex or not, should I PT with 4 section tests or 5 section tests?

Thankful for any feedback!

Hi, I cant seem to improve my score ive been studying for the past few months. like i keep scoring in the 146-9s and the highest was like a 150. I originally started at a 143, it sucks when u dont see much change even though ur studying everyday and everyone around u is succeeding. At this point i feel like im gonna fail and there is no point in studying for the lsat. I just feel dumb

I'm requesting transcripts from a community college because I took a summer class there, and it has the option of sending them to "Law School Admissions Council--JD--LSAC---LSAC Box 2000" or "Law School Admissions Council--LLM--LSAC--LLM Credential Assembly Service."

Are these the same thing? My undergrad institution didn't have the option of selecting either one, it just said LSAC.

Thanks!

On my desk I have a few decorative items, books, and a plant. Will I need to remove these items when I take the LSAT flex?

has anyone been able to schedule a time to take the august flex??? pls help

Hi all!

I just reserved a time slot, 4:30PM PDT, for my August Flex. However, I just realized that in the previous email of LSAC, the times available are 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Eastern Time. Does it mean no time slot can be selected after 4 p.m. PDT? Does anyone have similar issues?

Thank you for your help in advance!

I would love to create problem sets with some of my starred questions without having to go through individual PTs. Is this possible? Thanks!

Why are my video explanations taking forever to load? Some aren't even loading for me.

Can I use my Apple Pencil in conjunction with my iPad?

I caught myself reading out loud, very quietly, under my breath while taking PTs. Is this a habit the microphone will pick up? Will the proctor interrupt and request I remain silent during testing?

Just curious. Hoping to hear from those who have already written the flex.

I listened to a few of the episodes of the 7Sage podcast and remember hearing someone talk about how they recording themselves taking practice exams. Has anyone else experimented with this? If so, how and what did you use to set up your phone/camera to watch yourself? Also, did you find it beneficial? Any other thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all,

I am trying to test out my laptop system requirements as recommended by LSAC for people taking the August LSAT. The LSAC website mentions testing the system through ProctorU once you've created an account, but when I go to created an account within ProctorU (selecting "Law School Admissions Council" as my institution) I get the message that LSAC does not permit creating ProctorU accounts. Does anyone know how to create an account? Has anyone had luck testing their system?

Thank you in advance for your wisdom!

Who knew that I would open an email from LSAC and actually be happy?!

LSAC has approved the use of ear plugs for the August Flex!!! woohoo!

Here's the exact language from LSAC:

"We are pleased to announce that in response to requests from test takers, we are making a few changes to the items test takers are allowed to use during the online, remotely proctored LSAT-Flex.

We will now allow test takers to use a regular or mechanical pencil, or a pen, while taking the LSAT-Flex. You will still need to show your writing utensil(s) to the proctor during the check-in period.

In addition, test takers may use soft, non-electronic, non-corded/banded, generic foam ear plugs, which will need to be shown to and approved by your LSAT-Flex proctor."

You should be able to schedule your test now if you already have a ProctorU account. Not sure if the reset password trick still works if this is your first flex text.

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know why there would be a "No" under the withdrawal section on my LSAC account? I am currently registered for both August & October and do not plan on taking August anymore. Any insight would be helpful.

Thanks!

If you are finished with undergrad, and you are applying Fall 2021, and you want to apply early, do NOT procrastinate submitting your transcripts to the CAS. I have been waiting for three weeks on my academic report and UGPA calculation. I am sure it will all get sorted out, but I would hate for anyone to be starting this process mid-September and waiting for this to come through.

Why when i take PTs, i score low 150s consistently, but when i do the blind review, i score 165+ on almost all of them? Personally i do not get to see around 20 questions because i am too slow to get to them all (at least 5/section), but i tried to speed up and my score tanked as a result. Any ideas of what i can do? Thanks guys

Ciao fellow 7Sagers!

I just started studying for the 4 weeks ago and I haven't made much progress. Specifically: I just began the Most Strongly Supported Lesson. I've given myself a year to study for it since I plan on taking a gap year after I graduate so I'm not presently pressed for time, but I don't want to take anything for granted. However, I am not even able to stick with the assigned study schedule. It seems like an overwhelming amount to get through in a day. I am wondering how one is supposed to make it through the Core Curriculum so fast. How do you study? Here is how I study:

For Lessons:

For Practice Problems

If wrong: I think why it was wrong and try to cement that reasoning in my mind. Then I write out the explanation as to why that answer choice was right ans why my answer choice was wrong.

With this method, I've been studying about 4 hours every day and covering 1 lesson in 3-4 days. Should I be studying like this? This is how I usually study in college so I just applied it here. But I've been reading on the forum and a lot of people are really making some significant progress with the core curriculum. Would you mind sharing how you study on a daily basis? Like do you take notes, do you just watch the video, read the notes and move on? How do you ensure you are understanding and retaining what you are learning? What do you do? Any advice/suggestions will be helpful!

Thanks much :)

I was wondering what everyone's thoughts were on this method?

So far I've just been doing VIEWSTAMP and following the 7Sage advice, but I can't help but miss several per PT section. Anyhow, I was wondering if it would help to switch it up a bit by absorbing the questions first, but I am worried that this approach wouldn't work because my reading would become biased.

Hi everyone,

I'm planning to take the August Lsat and was wondering if ya'll have any study tips, advice, articles for the last month of prep? Thank you.
