Would anyone here recommend a commercial prep course like Blueprint? I'm currently stuck averaging 150, but I've only taken 9 PT's. I would like to end up scoring in the high 160's by the end of this year. I've had some pretty unhelpful and costly experiences with some other tutoring companies in the past, so I'm really only looking for the best option at this point.

I already registered for October. But since this won’t count to the yearly limit and we can cancel our score, should I just try it? It can help me with experiencing the Flex first hand and i might even get a decent score. What do you guys think?

I'm currently scheduled to take the Flex on Tuesday and had a question about the highlight function. I've been practicing reading comp passages without highlighting after reading stories about what a disaster it is to use on the digital LSAT. However, I tried using the highlighter on one of the practice exams posted on LawHub and it seems to be working fine (using Chrome on a Mac). Has anyone tried using the feature on the actual Flex and know how reliable it is/whether I should attempt to use it when I take the test?

Thanks in advance!!

Any tips for getting faster at R.C? I've been stuck with only getting through 2/4 passages for a few months now. I started reading the Economist, and it's helped, but I still feel like there's something that's holding me back from getting through this section.

For LG: you need to diagram on paper and then create additional description for choices on paper for each question. On paper-based test, part of the printed problem and choices could be easily re-used, but not on computer-test.

For RC: if you take paper notes, look up and down every time for each questions' answer choices

For LR: The computer-program only shows 4 ACs not all 5, so have to scroll up and down all the time, not getting the comprehensive view.

These may seem trivial things for those who don't have issue with timing, but they all add up a lot during the test mainly for LG/RC. how do you handle each one of these issues?

I'm getting worried because there's still not admissions ticket posted to my LSAC account and I'm scheduled for the July test at 1150 on Sunday. Should I be worried, or is it normally posted the day before? I read the LSAT Flex tips on LSACs website and it said you have to hold up the ticket: did this change and I'm not supposed to get one? Just want to know for sure so that if I need to start calling LSAC I can do it first thing tomorrow morning.

Hello, I’ve taken all the PT’s in the 70’s and 80’s except for 89. I’m wondering if it would be beneficial to take PT89 before the upcoming LSAT this week or if I should save it to use for later if/when I begin studying for the August LSAT. On one hand, I want to be as up to date with the most recent material as possible. But at the same time, I don’t want to burn through my last “new” PT if I do end up studying for August. What are your thoughts?

I started taking PT's and my scores fell into the high 150 range. I got a 157, 158, 159 and a 156 respectively. Frustrated that I couldnt get a 160 I changed the way I studied and felt like it would have helped. I took a week off, came back and got a 155 on a PT. After that I reviewed my test and took another one. Today I got a 152. My lowest ever. Unsure of what to do and very lost.

Has anyone taking Blueprint's Live Online Course? How does it compare to 7Sage? Is it worth it?

Help!! I would like to withdraw from the July LSAT-Flex today this weekend, but there is no button available on the LSAC website account to do so, and the LSAC website says that withdrawing is permissible up until 11:59 PM EST the night before the test (July 11).

I understand this is terribly irresponsible and I should not be doing so this late but I wanted to ask if there was a way to withdraw?? The LSAC website doesn't have a button available under "eligible to withdraw" and I sent them an email but they probably won't respond because it's Friday night.

Should I withdraw on Proctor U?

Hi all, where can I access PINNED questions from problem sets?

#help

I registered for the July exam and thought I would have until midnight tonight to withdraw. I had attempted to do so a few days ago to no avail, so I emailed LSAC. I never received a response. I kept trying via the LSAC website and was unsuccessful. I then learned that I only had until July 3rd to withdraw. So, I logged onto ProctorU to schedule a slot, but couldn't get one. Spoke with a customer service rep who told me that all the slots are filled and that I should contact LSAC for assistance. They wont be back into the office again until Monday.

So, I can't withdraw but I also can't register for a test. Not registering shows up as an absence. Between that and a canceled/mediocre score I'd take the latter.

Does anyone have any additional information? What should I do?

Hey Everybody,

Does anyone know how the LSAT-flex will be scored in comparison to the normal 4 section test? For example, how many wrong on the 3 section LSAT-flex test would one have to get in order to get a 165, 170, 175...etc? Thanks!

Is it possible to enable analytics for problem sets?

Hi all,

Are you taking four-section exams in preparation for the LSAT Flex? Is there a way to take a three section exam on 7Sage?

Thanks!

Hey 7sagers,

I'm back again to ask for the advice of members of the community who PT 170+ . What is your mindset in approaching studying, correcting mistakes, habits & routines, etc..? I believe that your mindset is often an overlooked idea, but it has significant advantages when applied correctly. I just want to understand the thought processes that are behind what top scorers are considering in various aspects of this exam. I appreciate the help as always and look forward to your responses!

If you know a tutor or have any study approaches that helped you please let me know especially if you started low as -13. Any guidance would be helpful. I've tried 7sage, PS, & trainer. I try reading for structure and review all RC passages through 7sage. Somedays I'm at 20/27 (twice) timed and most other days I'm at an average of -13. I think the days where I hit 21 or 20 are merely flukes. Untimed I'm typically 23-24.

Thank you.

Anyone having this issue?

So I'm planning on taking the July test, but I'm getting so nervous!!! My goal score is around a 169 and about a month ago I was able to hit it but unfortunately, I haven't hit it since and have been averaging around a 163-164. The past month I've had a pretty bad apartment move, so I've been wildly stressed out and my mind hasn't been totally focused, which is what I'm hoping has been the reason for not hitting my goal score. When I do individual timed sections, I'm seeing the scores reflect exactly where I want to be, but when I take a PT my scores drop. Should I chance it and hope that my test day focus and knowledge of the content pulls through, or should I push to October? (August doesn't seem possible with my work schedule) I'm also worried that the test I scored a 169 on was just super compatible with my skill set and not reflective of an average PT. Any thoughts?

By the way, good luck to everyone taking July :)

What did you see when you got your LSAT Flex scores back?

Do they show you the number of questions you got wrong (and/or number wrong per section)?

Or just the score?

How do you practice flex three sections？ thanks!

Hello 7sagers!

I recently completed Mike Kim's LSAT Trainer and my question is how should I continue preparing for the LSAT? I want to begin drilling problem sets, as I cannot fully complete sections under time constraints yet. I would like to know what would be the best course of action - Should I drill practice problems from the LSAT Trainer & begin my CC of 7sage as well? I have been studying the exam for 5 weeks, so I only have a very broad understanding of the exam currently, any advice would be most appreciated!

I will be taking the August 2020 LSAT Flex. I think I read somewhere that we will only be allowed 5 pieces of paper and a pencil. I took the LSAT digital in person before but we got a pen. So will we not be able to use a pen anymore and have to use a pencil? Any other differences between the LSAT Flex and the LSAT digital in person?

I plan on taking the LSAT in October, so I’m not sure if they will still be doing LSAT Flex by then, but I am worried about taking the exam digitally. On the LSAC website where you can take practice tests the highlighting tools do not work for me. So I’m worried about not being able to annotate when I take the real thing. Has this been a problem for people, or is annotating easy to do on the LSAT flex/the digital one if anyone has taken it?

Hey everyone,

I was wondering if anyone had advice for how to improve focus/attention span for long periods of time. Sometimes during PTs I find myself having to read a question 3 times to finally focus and understand what it is saying, which is a huge waste of time. I feel like it was easier to get immersed into activities when I was younger, and now my attention span is floundering!

I exercise about 4 times a week, and have started to cut back on my phone apps that might shorten my attention span (rip tik tok and twitter). Any other advice is greatly appreciated.

Some extra info: My last PT was a 167 but I'm hoping to break 170 for the August test. I'm scheduled to take 16 more PTs before my actual exam (do you think breaking 170 in this time is possible?)

thanks!
