I just the LSAT Flex for the first time, and I was really hoping my first write would go so well... it did not. There were several questions I did not have time to reach (which never happens) and now I have no clue what to expect as a score. Does anyone have any words or wisdom or comforting advice? I do not want to think about how I may have scored WAY below my average for the next three weeks.

Hi everyone!

I've been working on the LG section and have been doing some of them multiple times. Whenever I redo them after watching the explanation videos my score improves. I have been wondering if redoing LG will distort view of how well I can master the LG section? Does it actually represent how good I am at logic games? I am just scared that the improving scores will give me a false sense of confidence.

Thank you for your help!

Hey everyone! I just selected a few weakening questions from PT1-35 so that i could solve them in the problem sets. However, after submitting it, i could view the right answers but there were no explanation videos. When i clicked on explanation, It led me to the discussion forum. Could you guys tell me how to go about it?

Hi yall!

So I am taking the test in a few days and I just totally forgot how to I solved NA questions. (I know this sound so dumb and ridiculous) I can solve all other questions fine but I literally just freeze and can’t do anything whenever I see any NA type. I’m freaking out big time here.

If you have any way of solving/approaching NA, I’d really love to hear it. This literally feels like I have a short term memory loss. Please send help.

I take the flex on Sunday in 2 days. The last time I took a PT was on Wednesday and it was my highest score so far. Should I take another PT today or end on that good note and just do practice problems for my weak points?

I picked C initially but I am confused as to why and how A is the correct answer and how that information could be deduced?

Plan is to take my real "high-scoring test" in August and this is like a mid-way test. I saw that my PT's were hitting 162's and 163's when my goal is really above 165 this Saturday. My score splits are really annoying, I might be working too hard but recently they've kind have gone down the drain. When I was working LR sections last week the worst I was seeing was -5/-6 and a decent amount of -2/-3's but today I hit a -9 and I've had a few -7/-8s recently. What is really annoying is that I did a -5 on RC today which is good for me, usually I am around -6/-7. A few days ago I hit a 164 with a -3 on LR and a -4 on LG and a -7 on RC, I had not worked on LG for probably 2 weeks at that point and it clearly reflected, I probably should have refreshed my mind before that test. My logic games are usually around -1/-2 but I have pretty much run out of sections so I have been reusing a lot of material. Can I have some advice for this weekend, and even some advice for getting that 172+ in August?

Anybody else just really anxious about this test for some reason? I know that I studied a lot but I really want this test to be awesome and kill it. I've been meditating before I do any LSAt stuff and that does help. Anyone have any other tips for calming down or relaxing when you get nervous or anxious? It's my first time taking it so also no idea what to expect.

If I complete the writing on Sunday afternoon or Monday, will my score be delayed? I don't think I'm mentally ready to take it ahead of time but do not want my score delayed. Any advice (esp from people with experience) would be so appreciated!

I've recently started my LSAT Journey to take it if not in August then October, and I've noticed a particular issue I'm having is with Reading Comp. With reading comp, I manage to finish reading each article with a thorough understanding in about 4-5 minutes. The issue with this is after reading 4 articles each in about 5 min, there is barely anytime left for me to answer the actual questions. Do you guys have any advise on how to tackle this issue?

Could someone please explain how you got to C in S1Q14? I narrowed it down to C and E but do not fully understand why C was the better choice. Is it just because frequency was incorrectly attributed to visibility rather than headlight use? Thank you so much!

Hello!

I am terrible at distinguishing the author's tone, or opinion, or really make any inference in terms of the RC passages. Also application questions I tend to also miss. It's severely bringing down my score. If anyone has any tips on how best to tackle these questions, let me know!

Trying to debate whether to take the June test or move my test to August so time is kinda short. Thank you!

Hi Guys,

I really struggle with sufficient assumption questions. Can someone please offer some guidance/tips/tricks on how to start understanding them and getting them correct?

Thanks in advance

Hey everyone. Honestly I am just looking for some positivity right now as I go into the Flex this Saturday. This will be my second time taking the test and I cannot seem to get into a positive mindset to encourage myself. My score on the first test was much lower than I expected and I can't help to think that it will happen again so any positive reinforcement will help! You cannot take this test in a negative mindset so please help me become encouraged!

I just took the May 2020 prep test and got a 161. I am excited about this because I had not reached the160s yet and it is the most recent prep test! However, lately, I am consistently getting 11 wrong on LR. If I could just get get four or five less wrong, I would be hitting mid to upper 160's which is my target. I specifically see that I need to work on flaw, strengthen, RRE, and MSS. Any tips or strategies for these?? I am scheduled for the June test on Sunday and haven't been doing this bad in LR until recently

I'm not a native speaker and my English reading speed is only around 200 wpm. With this reading speed I need about three minutes to finish reading a passage. I heard people saying that RC typically requires the reading speed of 250 to 300 wpm. I do constantly run out of time on RC section. But JY sometimes indicates that he spends two or three minutes reading a passage. I'm wondering whether my reading speed is the major problem here. How much time do you guys typically need to finish reading a passage?

I know the test is on the week of the 14th, but I work a job and need to request off several days prior to, and on test day, so it would be really helpful to know when I can select my actual test day/time.

going through the weakening/strengthening sections, i've noticed that the reason why i have a hard time with them is because i can't identity the assumption(s) or i can't identify the assumption(s) in time. any tips on how to spot out assumptions for questions like these?

thanks!

While learning to do RC it was advised through 7sage to write simplified summaries on each paragraph to better understand. Do you advise doing this on the blanks sheets of paper we are allowed or do you believe it will take up to much time?

Is there a way to filter for specific video explanations to problems, for example if I wanted to just see PT1 S3 Q 22

How is D right?

The hotel being at 100% capacity seems to be the right answer to me as if the hotel is at 100% capacity no amount of decorations can better this number. Upgrading the decor, and thereby price, would have an ambiguous impact on % of the hotel occupied and the profits generated.

I feel solid with LG, can always be better with LR, but oh my, RC has me. For the life of me, I cannot seem to fix my timing issues. Every time I PT or drill, I try to force myself to go faster, and I always have far too many questions left. I cannot seem to finish this damn section on-time, or anything close to on-time. Does anyone have any tips or past eureka moments where they finally found themselves at least getting close to finishing RC on time? Any help - really anything - would be appreciated.

It appears in the core curriculum it's taught there is no distinction between main point and main conclusion questions, i.e when a question asks "whats the main point" or "whats the conclusion." However, I find the "main point" questions will be a lot more general and doesn't strictly adhere to "summarize the one sentence that is the conclusion" in this argument. Am I misunderstanding the core curriculum? Does anyone agree with this observation?

Hey Sagers,

I just wanted to know if y'all practice just 4-5 star games on the side? Normally I do full sections of LG everyday. I normally go -1 or -2 but the only games that give me difficulty are those harder games. After finishing a whole section and BR do you ever just do games of harder difficulty? I feel that if I drill those difficult games it will better prepare me for new PT's or new LG sections.

What are your approaches to games besides obviously just drilling?

Hi everyone,

So I recently got an email from LSAC saying I need to schedule my June Flex test, when I basically did so as soon as the option popped up on ProctorU back on the 3rd. I was wondering if anyone else was in this situation. Should I just ignore the email? Thanks.
