Hello everyone,

I know that if you talk during the LSAT Flex exam, you automatically get DQ. However, and I hope I'm not alone in this, sometimes I whisper to myself or mouth to myself as I'm doing LG or LR. Does anyone know how strict this no talking/mouthing policy is? Thank you!

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 have 3 copies of the Official LSAT SuperPrep and 1 copy of 10 Actual LSAT (29-38).

Some of them have very light writing on them that is easily erasable.

All items free, you just have to pay shipping. Or if you're in LA area, I can meet up with you.

Mods please let me know if not okay to post this.

Looking for someone at the same level of their studies as me - Completed CC and taking PT's and doing thorough Blind Reviews. It will be my first time writing.

My goals for the next two months include: score more consistently, build endurance, identify and improve weak areas, really work on improving RC

I am hoping to get through some of the 70's tests this month and 80's during June. I am also open to doing older tests or even just sections ( example LR section or single RC passage) when not testing and BR-ing.

I find Blind Review VERY helpful and hoping someone who is preparing for July will be down. We don't have to do every single test together- maybe a few - unless you want to do more.

If you are interested, at the same level and have similar goals - then let me know!

My time zone is Mountain Standard

I totally forgot about the scratch paper. The thing is right after I finished it was completely silent for a minute or so, so I just closed the connection with proctor u.

Was I supposed to rip up scratch paper in front of camera? Obviously after I realized this I did throw it away and ripped it up, but hours after. Will people be penalized if not ripping it up in front of camera afterwards?

I have searched and searched to try and find which tests are included in the Official LSAT Prep Plus, but all I can find is a rough number of how many tests are included. (I have bought a bunch of tests already, so it would be very helpful to know which ones are included before deciding to purchase this.) Can anyone who has purchased the Official LSAT Prep Plus clarify which specific tests are included?

Thanks!

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 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?

For the flex, do we have to take the test with a desk against a wall or is a kitchen table/table in an open room okay? I tried calling LSAC but the phone lines ran busy so I was wondering if anyone had any info. Thank you!

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?

So I am just now starting logic games and I am somewhat confused on when I should be doing the full proof method. Is that something that should wait until I start to PT, or should I full proof the problem sets from the CC as well? I am completely new to the games, and as expected I struggled on the first sequencing games. I am still having some trouble understanding if I need to go back and do the game over again or not like the full proof method says to do. If so, am I supposed to full proof every single problem set game that I struggle with initially?

Does anyone know if we can take the Flex with the color inverted on our laptops? This is where the background is black and the words are white.

Did any Flex takers try this?

Is there anyone in Alabama studying for the LSAT? It's really hard to do this alone. Online support is fine, but I live in a small rural town and have been hoping to find someone within the state to help each other out with LSAT prep. So, anyone out there?

Well, I guess starting over is hard. I took the LSAT and had really bad result in November. I can attribute that to bad instruction that I hired tutor and being a lot of financial stress for the last 8 months. I turned 49 this past April. I decided that I need to change my whole approach and needed a change of scenery as well. I decided I need to change the way I thought. I was not getting any support from my mother who was rampant Trump supporter and was obsessed with politics. I just that I decided I cut myself away from it because it was going harm me from thinking clearly and logically.It was taking is toll on my mental well being. I decided that I could not be on either side if I want to think clearly and do it without the hyberbole of both sides. I decided that I wanted no part in politics. I wanted to make clean break from it. I was in deep debt from tax obligation from the IRS and Georgia Department of Revenue from an employer that did not pay the taxes and found out they changed my W-2s to exempt. I was fuming when I found out. I felt very upset and angry. I decided as soon I had the money that I was going pay off the 2600 owed both tax agencies that I could put it behind me.

I started to restudy for the LSAT in mid-January and try to clean up the mistake and not reading carefully in January. I decided that I was going to go a lot slower and really digest each part of the LSAT like itself section that needs to be done slowly and carefully. By mid-February, I saw my employment prospects dry up like well that was producing no water and was left. I had spent a good portion of my career in IT field roughly 25 years. I decided to head west to Texas where my job prospects were better and would give me an opportunity clear up my head and start fresh.

I left in Mid-March during the start of Coronavirus pandemic. I left on March 17th around 8 am and took I-20 route near Lithonia because I did not to drive on I-75 because driving on the highway with drivers in Atlanta was scary. I took the scenic route all until I was across the state line of Alabama. I got to Meridian, MS and stop to eat lunch at McDonalds. I had to eat in my car because the dining had been closed. I saw beginning of social distancing and the McDonald workers were wearing mask and gloves. I was hoping and praying that my car would make it all the way to Texas because it had issues where the brakes need be replaced. I was kind of scared. I made to Rayville, LA and stay at extended there. There was a Popeye's next door. You had to walk up to drive in because dining area inside was closed. It said so on the sign. I did take job in Dallas, TX to work remotely. I stood in the drive through for about 20 minutes and walked up to the window to order a 2-piece chicken dinner with French fries and Cajun rice. I drove to Dallas the next day. When I arrived at the extended stay, it was booked and found out my reservation had been cancelled because all of the flights from DFW airport were delay or cancel. I was panicking for a couple seconds.I almost could been homeless and felt staying my car was not an option. I decided to put it together. I found another extended stay in the good part of Dallas and was only one not booked up. I had bit of difficulty getting PO box with the post office in Dallas because everyone had take every PO box and everything was on backlogged for 6 months. I went a UP store and got one. It was hard. I started my job next day. It was rough for a bit. I tried to study the logical reasoning for 1 hour a night and build up a solid foundation.

Also, I had computer issues where the wifi didn't always connect and got it straighten out 3 days later.

Finding place to live was not the easiest thing to do. Most of the places required two pay stubs and didn't have enough to get an apartment. Most of the people were weird and didn't seem friendly at all. I had one that got mad because I didn't have a Facebook account and Twitter account. I said I didn't need one because I don't have anything interesting to say. I found about the lockdown and decided be cautious and keep the social distancing in place and wore a mask when I saw about a place. I looked online and found a room in really nice neighborhood. I rented room from this really nice African American lady who was really well off financially. She was 60 years old. I really needed a friend. She offered me a room, and I offer to pay the electricity. I said I want to be gracious as possible. I paid up rent up for the first 4 months after a month on the job. She said she had a daughter close my age. She started to treat me like I was her daughter. I was feeling better. Here is the thing. I was encourage to read books like classic literature by her. I starting reading Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew, the Three Musketeers, King Solomon's Mines, Allan Quartermaine, Catcher in the Rye, Old Mice and Men, The outsiders, Marcus Arelious,I was reading non fiction books and Texas Monthly which is the Texas version of Atlantic and the Economist. I read about 13 books since Mid April. I didn't have tv. I found myself being encouraged to listen to classical music and jazz. Her encouraging me, it is opening new ways of thinking. I think I had receive more an education in my last couple months with reading than I did in last 10 years. I must admit was not I reader until I got to Dallas. I wanted grab all the books I what could grab onto and afford. I did manage to cut out all of the sweets and fast food. I want to eat healthier to lose weigh and did since mid April. What difference it makes in thinking clearer. I did manage to lose roughly 30 lbs. I got yesterday three Agatha Christie's novels. I was excited to get them. I end up taking drawing and starting getting really good and practiced every night to help loosen up a lot of stress. It had filled my sketch pad almost. The drawing getting better each day that I practice. I try to find pictures that make me happy or that seeing the person smiling.

I stay in the house and never venture out because I heard that Dallas Police department was harassing people with out of state plates. My car stay parked on the street for over a month. It had the issue where the door ajar light stay on. I took Uber to UPS store when I had mail on the weekends. I was not keen on going to the grocery store with virus rampaging. I order food from the Doordash.

I had paid off my tax debt mid- April. My old apartment near the Mall of Georgia had given me a lot trouble for the last 2 months. I was battling them to keep their word on paying back the security deposit. I found they like to get people evicted and make more money on the eviction than holding the lease. They hated me paying up my lease. They had deal going on the utilies with this company they work with and make utilities like water 2 months later, so they could ensnare you on that. I was on to them and paid them ahead. I just got my deposit back and won.

I had to save 3 paychecks to get my car fixed and it was fixed. It just passed the state inspection. A week ago I managed to get my Texas licenses plates and get my car registered.

I was studying for the LSAT with the PowerScore books for the LR and LG. The reading of books is helping and reading of Texas monthly. I purchase Manhattan reading comp and found it be more helpful than the PowerScore reading comp. The PowerScore reading bible seems to overthink things and makes things more complex. My end goal is become a felony prosecutor. I know this long post. I am studying and making much better progress. I can tell the difference vs the bad instruction I had received early on. I must profess that I do not know everything. However, I am always will to learn more and make friends. This is the beginning of my LSAT journey. I want to think like a lawyer as well. For me, it means learning to do a lot of listening and learning from others. I don't have a test date set yet. I figured I would get the reading comp straighten out first and start taking prep tests first once I have the reading comp lessons finished. I want to keep track of my progress. I am more of a turtle with the LSAT than the hare at this point.I keep about 40 tests as a good indicator and once I have proven that I can do it. I will set a test date then. This is end of my blog post studying during greatest pandemic. I am so grateful to my landlord and her generosity. I feel energized by her encouragement to think better and new ways of viewing the world. At the moment, she is my biggest cheerleader for me with the LSAT.
