Is using questions from the newer PTs something students do once they’ve completed the core curriculum? I was referring to once I finish it.

Does LSAC have a late registration fee? Is it too late to take in Feb?
Has anyone used a keyboard cover for the LSAT flex? If so have you had any problems getting it approved from the Procter? I had to buy a laptop internationally for the LSAT so I needed to get a keyboard cover to have the right language keyboard. Thanks!!
Hi everyone! I took the January LSAT and made a 161 which is a good score but I'm aiming for a 170. I started studying again right at the end of May. I've done five full exams so far with the following scores:
PT 74- 160 (Diagnostic)
PT 81- 162 (BR 164)
PT 79- 163 (BR 164)
PT 78- 164 (BR 166)
PT 67- 164 (BR 168)
I work full-time so I study in the evenings or early in the morning. During the week I typically complete timed practice sections and review them, going back to my notes or lessons when I need to. On the weekends I take a full exam and do BR. Then, I review the exam in-depth over a few days. I've improved a lot on LG but am still not quite there on LR or RC. Lately, I've been struggling more than usual on RC for some reason (I'm not sure why).
I was wondering what advice folks have for me. I've been staying positive and I think I'm genuinely improving every week but I just need an extra push to keep bringing my score up. I'm hoping to take the exam by the end of this year. Thank you in advance for your advice! :)
Hey everybody! So I planned on taking the writing section last Saturday so I booted up the writing simulation to familiarize myself with the program. When I got to the ID verification section, I couldn't get a clear picture of my ID on my webcam after trying to do so for half an hour. Since I didn't want to risk getting my writing sample canceled on the real writing test due to my ID being blurry, I waited until today to call LSAC's technical support line.
The representative told me to get a new webcam if I wanted to take the writing section which shocked me a bit as I was hoping they would have alternatives for issues like this. I asked if I could talk to a supervisor to see if I could escalate this issue but he told me that he will forward my request and told me to wait for a call back.
Has anyone encountered a problem similar to this? Will I have to just bite the bullet and spend money on a better webcam?
Writing this for myself but hopefully someone else finds solace in this as well..
Got my results back this morning and was quite disappointed in the results. Scored a 166, which is the same score I received on the official take in May.
I’m so much better at this test than I was in May (PT average at the time was 166). I have improved, but frankly it sucks that this isn’t reflected in my official score. My PT average is exactly170 right now and I haven’t scored below a 168 in more than 5 months on a PT. My BR is consistently 176+ (and trending upwards) and if I can better my process even more, there are probably a couple of additional points I can add to my timed results.
Something happened in LR where I was just off my game and because that was the first section I could feel myself more distracted in RC. Based on the PowerScore prediction, I had the hardest compilation of sections and that might have affected my confidence too.
Either way, I’m ready for October. November too, if need be.
“So what, now what?”
Has anyone tried the LR Mastery seminar from LSAT Hacks? Are methods compatible with 7sage?
Hey everyone,
When do you think we will find out if October will be Flex? Do you think it will be flex?
what are good ways to drill fundamentals to really get the core ideas engrained??

Hi all!
I've been having a bit of trouble with routine and structure in regards to a study schedule. I was wondering- how does your day to day look like when studying? Do you guys do 1 PT a week and X number of sections/ drills? What has worked for you/ what hasn't? What's reasonable to do in a day/ week, etc?
I just feel a little lost on how to study effectively (and not just study to say I did and waste materials). I need to build a structured routine so I can be self- disciplined and see results, and I know it varies for each person but I would appreciate any insight! TAA!
I'd like to ask for some advice on how to go through problem sets in CC "wisely".
What I'm doing now is watch JY's general explanation on q.type,
do the Qs on my own and then watch JY's explanation clips checking if I got it right or wrong,
then doing Problem Sets attached to it.
Now for Problem Sets, after checking the result, I watch the explanation clip right away, read some comments and then move on.
That's when I feel stuck. I feel like this process doesn't get me anywhere to develop advanced logical thinking to solve any questions at similar level. I've read many comments trying to articulate the reasoning on their own but I feel like sometimes I just memorize JY's argument. Should I still try to explain it on my own after(or before) watching the explanation?
Would that help me acquire or broaden my reasoning?
I'm already registered for Oct flex which will be my first exam but I haven't reached the score I'm aiming on PT.
As I took some prep classes before joining 7sage and I don't have much time left before October flex,
I was going to tackle only on q.types I'm weak in, but I changed my mind and decided to finish CC as soon as possible.
I'm so depressed now that I don't see any improvements in my PT score(avg 157) and I can see why when I go through Problem Sets.
What am I doing wrong?
Should I try to explain every answer choice while doing Problem Sets or BR before watching the explanation?
Do I have enough time for that? or would that be more effective way to score any higher?
Any advice, encouragement welcomed. :(
(Btw, my goal is to get somewhere around 170 in January)
hi does anyone know when we will receive the email from LSAC to sign up for Proctor U for the August lsat flex?
On the lawhub interface RC questions that refer to specific parts of a passage will be highlighted on the passage. There are no line references because they don't have a fixed layout for the passages.
I've found other behavior where it won't do this however and will instead only highlight where one of the answer choices has a highlight in the passage. Just wondering if it'll be like this for the actual test or if I'm missing something that lets me see where the other answer choices also are in the passage.
Example:
Which of the following words is most similar to how the word "blah" is used in the second sentence of the first paragraph?
A- "bleh" (---- Only this one will be highlighted in the passage. The other answer choices aren't, and the word "blah" in the question itself also isn't highlighted.
B- "blue"
C- "red"
D- "blargh"
E- "bloop"(/p)
Hi I am scheduled to take the lsat flex and was wondering if i automatically am signed up for the writing or if i have to sign up for it?
I want to cancel my score using the Score Preview for First-Time Test Takers but does anyone know if this will also wipe my writing sample? I'm not keen on taking the writing portion again.
Could someone help me out with the memory method for RC? I am confused on how many times one should do it and for how long
Is it just my laptop or LSAT Flex cannot be full-screen on test day? I mainly use Lawhub for PT which should be the exact same format. While during practice Lawhub allows the browser to be expanded to full-screen, on my August LSAT test it can't, which took me a while to readjust. On the test day, the screen would just look like a window size with black margins surrounding it. Any thoughts?
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.
Hello everyone,
I have a question regarding test dates and time. I was looking at the schedule for the June test and noticed there were 3 test dates: June 12, 13 and 15. Does anyone know why this is? And will this is be same for the other tests too?
Also, I'm planning to take the test in Ontario, Canada, but I don't know the starting time for the test. Is it usually 7AM or 9AM?
Thank you in advance!
I scored a 144 on the July flex LSAT and want to score a 155 on the October date. I barely studied the first time, is my goal score too unrealistic or is it realistic? Just need feed back, because I'm very worried. Trying to apply for schools, so I can attend next fall. Help!
Hello! I'm looking for an RC tutor. This is the one section I have been struggling with and cannot seem to improve on.
Has anyone applied early decision to their first choice law school and received an email from the dean of admission? I'm wondering if this is a good sign. If anyone has an experience like this please please let me know.
I'm currently looking into hiring an admissions consultant for the upcoming Fall 2021 cycle. Would anyone be willing to share their experience with me (good or bad)? I was also wondering if anyone knows whether or not Spivey Consulting offers payment plans. Any feedback is greatly appreciated!
I'm looking for a list of events that I can attend on the 7sage website and I can't find any.
