I can't decide whether or not to sign up for the October LSAT. I got my July FLEX scores back today and I made a 155. However, I was aiming for a 160+ as I was PT-ing in the 160-162 range. Do you think it is worth retaking? My top choice has a 158 median score. Additionally, would I be able to improve that much till October? Please send any tips you can my way. Additionally, since October results won't come back until about Mid-October, is that considered too late to apply? I don't want to lose a spot because of something like this.

Thanks

Hi all (sorry this is long),

I just got my score back for July and got a 162. Unfortunately, this was below my average of 164-166 and below my record of 169 but I'm just going to get back to it and try again. Now, I'm having a little trouble figuring out where to start. I'm wondering if I should go back through the course, although a bit quicker, to reinforce the basics or if that would be a waste of time and I should start trying to hone in on the sections and question types I need the most improvement on.

If I could guess, I would say that RC probably damaged my test day score the most, I've been able to score as low as a -3 but haven't been able to get that down consistently, and had even seen myself scoring -10's on PT's leading up to the July test. Also, I can imagine I didn't do as well in LR as I would have liked, I was having confidence errors before the test and although I've scored a few -0 to -3's before, my average was more like -4 to -6, mostly losing points on harder questions. I started to get a skipping strategy down and implemented that on test day and for RC, I was focusing on the Trainer's reading for structure methods while writing very short summaries of each paragraph during the read. I do admit my blind review's probably were not up to par, I started to find that I was having so many confidence errors that I was blind reviewing questions I got right and totally skipping those I got wrong, so I started to let blind review go for the last month or so before the test. Also, I have a ton of trouble learning from the mistakes I make during the test and really internalizing how not to make those mistakes again in the future.

If anyone has any advice on any of these things, please reach out! I've reached out to a few tutors already and I'm hoping I can hit my goal of 170s eventually. I've been studying for this test for so long and I won't let it defeat me!

Are we allowed to use full screen (f11) on chrome during the test? Thanks!

Hi,

Since the update to 7sage on Tuesday, I have no longer been able to access course or any materials other than discussion board and grader from the app via iPad. Anyone else having this issue? Please advise.

Thank you.

Don't get me wrong, I'm really happy about my score and I'm aware it's above the median for my target schools (Columbia, Harvard, Penn, NYU) but my GPA is weak (3.6 from an Ivy, not in the sciences). I did do an honors thesis, though I'm not sure how much that even counts for and I've been working already for four years if that's a plus.

This is my third time taking the lsat - first round I choked in September during the infamous flowers game and came out with a 164 and second time was the June flex and I had technical difficulties but still released my score to get a sense of how I did on the other sections.

I'm currently signed up for August but I'm debating whether it's risky to retake?? I have been PTing 173-178 consistently but not sure if it's worth it. Do I have a decent chance of getting into my target schools with my score/GPA?

Hi everyone I was looking for a little bit of advice...

I started studying for the LSAT in December with Kahn Academy (I know horrible choice) with a diagnostic of 153. I improved to a 157 after two months hired a tutor and was PT between 167-173 before the July flex. I got a 167 and was not surprised as I felt I had made some mistakes on the games.

I am switching over to using CC and was wondering if anyone had any advice on navigating through it with the hope of taking the exam again in October. For reference my splits looked like LR: -0 to - 4 RC: -0 to -6 (most inconsistent section) LG: -0 to -3.

Thank you all in advance.

Anyone else following this thread on Reddit? Apparently LSAC called a few people today (the day before scores are released...) who took the July Flex to tell them that their score “got lost”. I’m registered for August and am considering a move to October since there’s a coupon. What’re your thoughts?

If I am going to use this final fall semester of mine to boost my GPA, when should I submit my law school application (transcripts, LSAT score, letters of rec)? I am not aiming for a really good law school, an average one is fine for me.

I started with a 152 diagnostic, and after four months, my score has fluxed between 157-162, mostly at 158-160. I need a 165 on the August LSAT, and I just feel like even though I have been working my butt off, it hasn't paid off. I feel so defeated. My biggest problem right now is Reading Comp, (-11 whereas LR is near -4 and LG hover around -5 or -6) even though it use to be my best section.

Does anyone have any tips on helping improve reading comp? I would be so happy if I could get it down to -5 or even -4

Any input/feedback on my approach of how to close the gap between my last four timed PTs (172, 172, 168, 168) and their associated BR scores (176, 176, 177, 177) would be much appreciated.

Timing (and also confidence in my timing) has seemed to be a big issue in RC. To mitigate this I have been doing full fresh RC sections and redoing full-RC sections (1 of each/day). I’ve been doing this for ~week now and am now much more comfortable with an full RC section. I plan to continue to just do this. And also thoroughly analyze the mistakes I make in both my repeat and fresh sections. My BR for a fresh RC section is typically -3 to -1 but seems to be a downward trend which is good so I think I’m making gains in accuracy as well.

Timing in LR is sometimes okay and sometimes not. It just seems that when I’m in a good section I can have up to 8 minutes left after giving each question an attempt. Other sections I only have 5. I don’t think I have a particular weak point in terms of a question type so my strategy here is to just get into a rhythm with taking PTs and really BR and analyze any question that gives me trouble. I don’t know if doing LR sections would be super beneficial to practice timing since it seems that my speed just tends to correlate with how good I feel in the questions. I typically make 1-2 mistake I feel like I could have avoided and fall for 2-3 curve breakers.

LG has been pretty consistent with usually -1 or -2. I never get a question wrong when I blind review the games (which I just do timed a second time) so I’m hypothesizing my issue to be with the initial setup. Also, I find that I can just make stupid mistakes (like not manipulating symbols correctly in my head). My goal here is to just continue to full-proof LGs and do full LG sets such that my speed in making inferences allows me to “buy” extra time in working out the questions so that I don’t feel as under pressure or can even write more things out. Also, after every game I think I am going to take a second and reflect on what aspects of the game mandated that specific setup; hopefully that will give me a greater comfortability in setting up a new game.

I’ve taken about 10PTs and have been studying for 6 months. Any feedback or comments from the other side if you were in a similar spot and how long it took you to reach your goal would be greatly appreciated!

I thought it would be fun (and motivating) for us soon-to-be 1Ls to share where we'll be attending for the next 3 years!

I'll start: I'm heading to William & Mary!

Hey guys, I was just wondering

Any info you can provide about flex would be much appreciated just so people can know as much as possible before test day, thank you!

Sorry if this has been asked before, I'm wondering if there is a way to view the question types analytics so I can see my accuracy changes over time depending on the PT. I'm trying to see if there is improvement on certain question types. Currently on my analytics it shows RRE as highest priority but that is over 10 questions and none of the 4 most recent I have gotten wrong. So I don't think that is actually an issue anymore. However, I want to make sure there are no question types that I have failed to improve on or if there are I want to be able to easily locate those types. Thanks in advance!

I have searched but I can't find it, does anyone know how to submit accommodation requests for the LSAT??

I'm having a bit of trouble inputting my new answers (after preptest BR) into the answer sheet- without deleting the original answers. I know there's an option to see how you do before and after BR, I just can't seem to figure out how to do it.

Anyone know how I can do this?

Any ideas on how to take the test in a way that simulates the flex format? It seems like 7Sage doesn't allow you to only take the 3 sections, nor does LawHub. I'm taking it in August and really want to practice with the closest version of the test I can find.

How likely do folks think it is that the October LSAT will end up being a Flex exam? I'm in Florida where the COVID situation is really bad and I don't anticipate it getting better any time soon. I'm worried that LSAC will require it be in person and if that's the case I don't think I feel comfortable given the high level of cases in FL.

I took the July LSAT and am looking to do the writing section, however when I go to the LSAT Writing section there is not a link to launch for the July LSAT that I took. Is anyone else experiencing this?

This is my inaugural post lol. Just wanted to share the progress I've made since February. I switched over to 7Sage in April, after a 138 diagnostic a few months earlier. Took PT 71 today and broke 170 for the first time!! So so SOOOO grateful for this program. Hopefully I'll keep the momentum going 'til the August Flex. Good luck to everyone out there :^)!

I really like all of the Pilot pens I've tried, particularly the Pilot Precise V5 in blue.

Hey y'all to those who have taken the LSAT flex previously! I am taking the August LSAT, and was wondering about the time slots that you are able to choose from for the Flex. What is the earliest start time and how many slots a day are there? T

hanks in advance!

Or am I just super lazy 😂 I just find it difficult to study with so much anticipation

For anyone taking the August exam, what are you guys doing one month before to prep?? I am scoring just little lower then I want on PT but I'm not trying to get caught up in the numbers and just focusing on drilling my weaknesses (RC, some LR).. I just want to see if anyone has any tips or can share what there doing one month before test.

Thank you and best of luck to August test takers!!

Is it really difficult to get a job at a big firm as an international student from t16?

I got 168 last time and I might still try applying but I am really concerned about the chances of me getting a right position after law school, since it is not just dime and nickels that costs.

I''m not from undergrad in the states nor does I have citizenship.

If anyone has any knowledge about this kinda issues, I'd really appreciate it if you share your opinions.
