Is there an official FAQ anywhere?

Is July flex? (tba from what i understand)

Are all schools accepting flex scores?

thanks

Hello All:

I am scoring in low 150s and looking for a study buddy to boost to high 150. I am very flexible on time and looking forward to studying with someone else in need of a study-buddy.

Does anyone know how COVID is changing the JD job market? I read some large firms weren’t hiring a freshman class? In a job market that is already saturated can we expect employment numbers for schools to take a hit/make all this worth it financially in the long run?

Hi,

Since the new LSAT is digital, plus the LSAT Flex being administered on your own computer, would you recommend printing out the practice tests and taking them that way or taking them from the computer to get used to it? Or do you think there is not much of a difference? (Personally, I prefer printing them out but not sure if that will hurt me in the long run!)

Thank you!

Hi all,

I'm at the beginning of a career transition from professional film production to law. I received a journalism degree in 2018, but otherwise have zero pre-law experience. I took the diagnostic prep test tonight and got a 144 with a 149 BR. Can anyone give me context or comparison on whether this is a reasonable score to move up from in the next four months before the August 29 test? I'm having a hard time finding any information online about good vs not so good baseline scores.

Thanks in advance!

When trying to take a test, I am asked to link my account to LSAC - it states that I should have received an email from LSAC as well, which I didn’t. I clicked on “activate” but it’s just running in the background without a resolution. It eventually kicks me out. Can you advise what I need to do? Frustrated I cannot take a test. Thanks

What PT does Kaplan use as their free test? I took that as a cold diagnostic so I want to make sure I don't repeat it/watch video explanations for it.

During my last PT, there was some kind of glitch in my LR section. I was not able to see all of the answer choices and was shown only 3 answer choices for some questions or just 1 answer choice. I tried scrolling up (sometimes the answer choices are long) to see more but that didn't work either. I had to stop my PT and do a timed BR and then actually do BR. I'm not too sure if this has happened to anyone but if so, how did you solve this problem?

Thank you.

Just took May LSAT Flex. Will probably be retaking in July, already signed up. Is 2 weeks too long for no LSAT whatsoever? Should I start studying again soon? idk I feel bad not studying but i really dont want to lol

I took my first PT after going through the curriculum and was able to increase my score by 6 points from my diagnostic. While promising, I noticed that 18/24 questions that I had missed were considered level 4 or 5 difficulty questions and I had gotten the lower difficulty questions correct on blind review, leaving me without a necessary "weak" question type. My initial takeaway seems to be that I have a decent baseline understanding of the question types and lawgic and can intuitively get to the right answer for the easier questions, but I struggle with breaking down the harder ones. Is there a way to effectively overcome this hump? Thanks for any advice.

Really trying to figure this out, so any advice or thoughts can help me PLEASE!! :)

Hello everyone,

I just bought my 7sage account today along with the necessary LSAC subscription. When I try to look at the Prep tests, it says I need to activate my account with LSAC. However, by clicking it it just brings me to their login page and when I try to create an account, it says my email as already been used, despite the fact that when I click the forgot password and username function, they cannot find any record for that email. Alternatively, the email LSAC has sent me as a "get started" function which does the exact same thing. All in all, I am unable to look at the Preptests at all sometimes. Has anyone else had this problem before and if so, how was it solved? Also I would appreciate it if technical support could answer this question.

Thanks

Hi everyone,

I am attempting to study through chunking. What I mean is, in order to get myself back in rhythm of studying I'm going to use the chunking method so I don't burn out, so I can understand what I am learning, and to properly execute what I learned through practicing.

My main concern currently is how should I chunk the material?

For LG I do pretty well, I'm somewhere between 3-4 questions wrong (this is was the case in FEB) I don't know where I stand currently until I do some practice LGs.

The biggest section I want to focus on is LR. So,what should I chunk? Should I do 3 30 min chunking sessions throughout the day and have different concepts to chunk such as MP/MC, STR, Weaken or do 1 30min chunk session with 2-3 concepts and then later on in the day go through some flashcards to reinforce what I learned and do a couple of practice problems?

I believe this could help a lot of people if they don't have time such as myself.

What are your thoughts?

does anyone know how to highlight on the law hub interface? I see the highlighting functions in the top right corner but for some reason when I hold and drag it doesn't highlight. Maybe its just my laptop or maybe im doing it wrong. For those of you who can get it to highlight, are you just holding and dragging?

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone! I know there's been quite a bit of speculation about whether or not the July LSAT will be flex... if it does end up being flex, when can we expect it to be announced?

I do all my scratch work in pen (i hate the feeling of writing with pencil), but I saw that pens weren't on the list of 'allowed items' for the Flex. Is this a strict prohibition, or was anyone able to use a pen during the May Flex without issue? Thanks!

Our baby's due date was Monday the 18th, my test was scheduled for Wednesday the 20th. Now that the April test was cancelled I didn't know if I'd have to wait another half-year to take the test once I'd regained enough sleep to be functional after caring for our newborn girl. On top of this a lot more responsibility has fallen on me while my wife has been getting much needed 3rd trimester rest: this means taking care of our toddler, cooking and doing dishes, house chores, finances and working from home. Lastly, as an Army veteran I suffer from constant back pain and frequent neck spasms -- it's certainly not the worst situation, but it's not the best either. Yet through it all I remained uncharacteristically calm and drew positive comments from family members and friends on how I handled the situation! I owe how I handled the stress to 2 methods and hopefully this can help others stay calm and focused too.

The 2 methods that helped handle all the stress were meditation and having a written step by step strategy for not just the LSAT but also for when our baby comes. I bought the book "The mindful athlete" which talks about how to practice mindfulness. Learning how to meditate and meditating for 10 minutes twice a day helped me to chill out after a long day of work and helped me become calm when I felt stressed out. Without meditation I swear I would have snapped at my family and loved ones a TON, but taking a time out to regain composure proved an invaluable resource I'll be practicing probably for the rest of my life.

Having a written strategy took a lot of the guesswork out of what to do when my wife actually starts labor (contractions can start even 3-4 weeks before real labor contractions do). I wrote down exactly what to do, who to call, what to load into the car; this allowed my mind to be free of that responsibility. Same for the LSAT. I used Mike Ross and Josh's timing strategy which helped me make an exhaustive strategy to execute for every question type during rounds 1 and 2 of each section and I practiced this. There was nothing that took me by surprise on Flex day and despite being nervous I feel like I executed my strategy to a T. I feel like I really was able to beat demonstrate my aptitude and limit the negative effects of nerves substantially.

Having a strategy and knowing what to do as well as practicing mindfulness helped me overcome what may be one of the most stressful times in my life. I am fortunate to have even taken the test at all - I didn't have neck spasms during the test and our baby girl practiced social distancing and didn't come yet (lol). Even if she had come I was mentally prepared to take the test in Sept and Oct and viewed this circumstance positively, not negatively. The inducement date is tomorrow the 22nd if the girl doesn't come today and if I get a 170 or above we'll make her middle name my numerical test score :D haha just kidding. We're naming her Flex ;) All the best!

We want to let you know about a pre-law summer program (online this year, thanks Covid) from Duke Law school.

It's hosted by Prof. Neil Siegel who also happens to be the professor behind our Constitutional Law Explained course. He's been running this program for a few years now.

The program takes place over two separate two-week sessions. You'll get to take law classes with Duke Law professors and meet special guests like U.S. Senator Mike Lee and Dana Remus, Chief Counsel of the Biden for President Campaign and Former Deputy Counsel and Deputy Assistant to President Barack Obama.

What is fool proofing?? I have just started logic games and I have seen people talk about fool proofing, can someone please explain!

Thanks !!

Hi all,

I've been studying the LSAT for a long time (over a year). So I am basically familiar with concepts and what each Q type asks us to do. But I also know that improving is all about working on my weaknesses. LR is the section I am struggling the most (3-4 wrong per section). Is drilling by Q type still effective at this stage?

Thanks! :)

Hey, I was wondering if I could print out the whole core curriculum because i feel like it would save a lot of time with note taking and problem sets. Is there a feature for this or an easy way to do it? I worked at a law firm and they have a super printer I could use for it, so I was just wondering, thanks

Hello, I recently took the May LSAT-Flex but am considering taking the July LSAT since I feel I can perform better. I have already completed and reviewed Preptest- 74-89. I have never reviewed Preptest 69 and under since I thought completing the most recent ones would benefit more before test day. Is it worth it to start the newer Preptest and then review 80-89 all over again. I score 148-150 at the moment. Is it possible to score a 160 on the LSAT given the time I have left for the July test? Am not currently working much due to COVID19 so I just want to take advantage of my free time to improve my score. I feel I need to work on my speed in LR and improve alot in RC since I get most wrong in that section. I can almost complete the game sections and after working on them constantly I get -5 wrong. Any feedback is welcome. I can really use it since I already reviewed and did the most recent Preptest.

Thank You

Hi all! I finally (and literally) bought into purchasing a prep course given my history with standardized exams. I self-studied for the MCAT a few years ago and did not do very well. I thought I could tackle the LSAT with Khan Academy, but once I started taking the PTs, I began to trend down from a 150 diagnostic. My goal was to take the June LSAT, but I'm almost 100% going to get a coupon and my hope is to a least take it by August (although I don't necessarily have to rush to take it by then, but would be ideal before I start my 40+/week fellowship). I normally study 4-5 hours/day and would like to keep it reasonable (have a life outside of LSAT)--any suggestions on prime amount of time to study? I know there's the study schedule generator, but it's suggesting I study 60+/week. I don't think that's feasible, but would like to hear more from others.

Has anyone been in a similar situation and can offer advice on how to use 7Sage having already had several months of self-study? Would love to hear from people who have been working with this for a few weeks at least, but any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Is there any particular reason the 7sage goes over LR, LG, then RC in that order? If I wanted to start with LG and then move to LR and RC would that be detrimental to my studies?
