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)

I'm going through the curriculum right now and I'm up to LR pseudo-sufficient questions. There were some lessons in which I felt sort of weak on (for example weakening questions), though I feel compelled to just keep going as I want to finish the curriculum in the allotted time I originally planned in my study schedule. How often should old lessons be reviewed? Should I drill down those lessons before going on? Or should I just keep going, finish the curriculum and then go back and review old lessons?

Hey all,

I will be taking the JUNE 2017 LSAT and I have just recently began studying . I live in Yonkers, NY but work in the city on the upper west side. I would prefer coffee shops anything after 3pm but am flexible for earlier. I would prefer someone at my level. I took a PT and my diagnostic was 149 :(. I Also drive so I don't mind traveling if you're in westchester or even NJ. I am using the trainer, bibles + manhattan books too.

Hello,

When answering principle questions, we want an answer that obviously doesn't violate the stimulusm, and conforms most to the text.

Is too general an answer choice bad? And in using certain words (specifically the medical advance question in the PT 40s) , can we assume that two words can mean different things or that one word can be more inclusive and cast a wider net than the way it is used in the stimulus?

So one question said that medical tests are advancing so that we can detect diseases early, but most of these diseases aren't curable yet by medicine. Then it raises an ethical dilemma.

Now the answer choice I put is "the more we learn, the more you realize how little we know".

The correct answer choice was "advances in medicine can raise ethical concerns".

If we assume that advances in medical technology/tests constitutes an advance in medicine then I understand it. But it states that we can't cure them using current medicines so can we really say medicine advanced?

It was too uncertain to me so I went with the wrong answer, the more general one. Or maybe there is another mistake in what I chose.

Thanks and GL studying !

Does anyone have suggestions for the best place to actually take an LSAT Flex? I am schedule to take the exam in August (guessing it will probably be a Flex), but absolutely cannot do this in my house as there are way too many distractions. I was thinking about getting a hotel room. Would love to hear what others have done in June - or are planning to do in July.

Proctors:

I don't even know where to start. The proctors were completely inexperienced and as that wasn't enough of a nightmare they were extremely rude to test takers. To be point of humiliating students in front of everyone in the class, making them feel horrible for walking in with labels on their water bottles (just really overusing their authority). They seemed very confused about every step from the time students were entering the room until the time the test was about to begin.

Facilities:

The facilities are alright. The test building is easy to find.

What kind of room:

Just a typical community college class room. Very small setting compare to other I have attended.

How many in the room:

Most 20 students each room. There were several rooms at this testing center.

Desks:

You have to share the desk with another student. There is enough distance between sits, but can be quite distracting with you are a person that gets easily distracted.

Left-handed accommodation:

The desk works for both left and right handed people the same way.

Noise levels:

Very silent, especially since the room is so small.

Parking:

Parking is okay, there is enough spaces for everyone.

Time elapsed from arrival to test:

One hour, seems like it is not that long, but the proctors make it so stressful that it seem like YEARS!

Irregularities or mishaps:

This test center is a NIGHTMARE. Like previously mention the proctors make the experience so stressful that you begin the test already feeling horrible about the experience. Unfortunately, the way people act towards me at the test center really impacts my overall experience, so this really ruined it for me. The proctors really abuse of their power, by making a big deal out of every little detail and they were calling out different things in front of the whole classroom making test takers feel really uncomfortable. I felt so humiliated that I went home and didn't finish my exam there, I tried to complain to the LSAC, but nothing was done about it. So, my advice, do NOT sign up for this test center.

Other comments:

Would you take the test here again?

NEVER AGAIN! I would rather drive 20 minutes to go take the test in Northwestern University (I had a great experience there).

Date[s] of Exam[s]:

December 5th, 2015

For those of you who have closed a large BR gap. How did you do it? currently scoring around 157 timed and BR around 164/165. I obviously need to do more PTs. Would love to score at my BR level lol. Generally feel like under timed, my brain doesn't catch on as quickly and effectively. I'm starting to recognize some patterns here and there in LR and RC. Questions 1-18 on LR, I can do them fairly easily (though not with perfect accuracy, again my brain just doesn't register as quickly under timed, but when I'm BR-ing, i'm like how did i miss that). It's the questions near the end, they just really eat me up. Tips welcomed!

Also any tips on improving RC?

Looking for any success stories/general tips as a guide. Thanks!

Actual:

LR: -8 to -10 per section

RC -9

LG -5 to -7

BR:

LR -5 to -7 per section

RC -5

LG -1 to perfect

I’m new to this Flex thing, since I just restarted studying last week (after taking a year off).

Can anyone do a brief overview of their Flex experience? You have to do it on a computer with a webcam - will you see other students? Do you see your proctor? What’s the format?
