I think I've heard that PT70s and 80s have "harder" LR sections, but I want to do one or two of the notoriously harder ones before my flex exam.

Hi everyone!

I signed up a bit later for my time slot for the Jan LSAT, and I am kicking myself because I have an early morning time slot. I am somewhat worried of my ability to be awake and mentally prepared at that time of the morning, especially considering most of my practice has been during the early and late afternoon each day. There are currently no other additional time slots available for the 16th and 17th.

Do you all know if I am late to my Procter scheduling time, if I am unable to start the exam? I'm obviously going to try my best to be up and ready at the time in the morning, but I wanted to see if you all knew.

Additionally, does anyone have any advice (perhaps, if you've taken an early morning LSAT exam) as to getting mentally prepared at an early hour for such a stressful exam?

Are we taking the test on proctor u or are we taking the test on the law hub site ?

Last LSAT I took was a nightmare with my proctor. I made sure to tell my proctor that I am home alone, that I left my turned-ff phone in another room, and kindly requested I not get interrupted during the exam. I basically wanted to do what I could to avoid a horror story.

My proctor only chatted with me–I did not think anything of it.

During LG, she couldn't see my chin so she messaged me. I had a flashing box on the lower-right hand corner of my screen and had to click on it to open it. I adjusted my face and continued writing on my scrap paper. A second later I got another flashing and her message was a thank you. Again, I got interrupted and had to X-out of the chat box. At this point I got annoyed but contained myself and continued working. Then I got a smiley face! I shouted, "please stop interrupting me!" I might have been rude but at that point she threw me off focus for silly things and I made sure I was clear at the start to avoid interruptions.

I apologized at the end of the exam but I did not need 'thank you's' and smiley faces during my LSAT.

If I get another proctor who wants to just 'chat', can I request a different proctor? Maybe I am being a bit over but I really do not want to get thrown off my game again. Then again I heard of proctor's that forgot to mute themselves. >.((/p)

Any advice would be appreciated.

My takeaway: Keep your chin up.

Looking for a pretty challenging exam to gauge worst scenario situations and hone my testing strategy

Wanted to get some opinions on how you all approach MSS questions. I feel like I am getting these wrong often because I am struggling to piece together all the information in such a short period of time (especially on the science ones/things I am not familiar with). How do you all approach these questions to ensure quick reading comprehension? Do you always draw a diagram? Also, any general tips on quick elimination would be helpful.

I am taking the LSAT- Flex next Tuesday. Though I have scored a 165 on PTs, since then I have been scoring dramatically low for my standards (150s). I think this is because of my anxiety and overthinking. I have been approved for accommodations, but my brain still isn't making this easy. In other words, I know I can do well, but am I getting in my own way/ how do I stop that?? Please help :( I am very stressed

Does anyone know if we can wear earplugs for this January LSAT flex ?

Did anyone find the LR on PT 84 extremely difficult??

I haven't started anything with RC , I wanted to nail down LR first in hopes that it would my RC in general.

Any suggestions on how to tackle RC? 7Sage method ? PSB ? Reading a dense passage every night ?

Hi,

I have some question on In/out games regarding chaining, probably will take 15-30 minutes to explain to me, I just don't get it from JY, willing to pay for someones time via zoom. Thank you.

Hiya, I know that nearly all of us are wanting to save as much time as possible on Logic Games. One of the biggest issues I face is always have to redraw long diagrams for new questions on linear sequencing games. I just spent a ton of time on one where I had to draw out a table with 8 bases. It looked like this (with a number underneath):

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

Commonly, I'd have to redraw the base line again for a new question or when a possibility didn't work out. However, you can save time by doing this: instead of having to redraw the base points again, you can use the spaces above and below the table you've already created. Just be sure to scratch out the work that was erroneous to avoid confusion.

Basically draw again at the arrows I make and you can use one base up to three times or more. This may not work on multilayered linear sequencing games or you may be able to find a way around it.

--> (stack another above, you can keep stacking)

--> (one on the actual spaces)

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

--> (or use below, but you may want to keep this space open to impossibilities)

Anyway, I hope this helps some of you save some precious time on the LSAT! Good luck!

Hey everybody,

This post is directed towards people who have already written for the LSAT Flex. My concern is regarding the room/office/space/cell that one will take the flex in. Is there a certain type of room LSAC expects us to use? And specific guidelines as to what the room entails? For example, I have a desk in my office at my house. It has a few paintings on the wall, a few plants in the corner, a small book shelf (with books), and behind my chair is a tall "desk set". I'm wondering if I have to deconstruct the set and remove all other items from the room before the exam. Not about to spend 6 months studying just to be told that I can't take the flex because there's a portrait of a matador in the bottom left screen.

Let me know what I should do as its just around the corner. Thanks for the help fellow Sagers. :)

Anyone know some good games with both repeating elements and conditionals (like games 3 and 4 from PT 87) that I can practice before Sunday?

Hi everyone! For the Flex, I know people use a phone camera during the check-in process to show what their computer looks like. Does anyone know whether I can use a small handheld mirror to do this instead?? Thank you!

Could someone explain why D is wrong and A is right?

I initially chose D because it said "Parents are given vouchers" and "to attract students."

I thought students could be attracted, but then that doesn't mean that they would attend the school, because it's up to the parents.

I would really appreciate any advice!! I'm retaking the LSAT this weekend after taking it back in July. I got a decent score the first time I took it but it really isn't what I wanted and I was convinced I could do better. I have been dealing with a lot of test anxiety so I don't think I've prepared to the best of my ability for the January Flex (the anxiety kind of makes me not want to study if that makes sense?) but at the same time I'm not sure what more I can even do.

I'm scoring 2-3 points above my July score which still isn't where I want it to be. At this point I don't know if I should just take it this weekend and go with the score I've got or if I should withdraw and take a break from studying/LSAT stuff in general and try again over the summer. I'm not applying during this admissions cycle so I'm not restricted to taking it now. I also really just want to be done and not have to go through studying and stressing about it again but I also am not content with the PT scores I have.

Hey everyone,

I hope you’re all keeping safe and healthy!

I’m writing the January Flex and I’m wondering if there’s anything I need to download before my test (MacBook user)? Do I just sign onto my ProctorU before my test and it’ll load me to a screen? Please let me know about your experiences :)

Hey all!

I am pretty in-tune with when to split grouping game boards based off my own instincts, however I just took PT 85 Game 1 (a sequencing game) and tried to split that game board thinking I could do it off the "T in 1/7" and "T7 -> R1" rule.

Anyways, it's a pretty easy game but after realizing I couldn't split it effectively, it became rather difficult under time pressures.

I was wondering for anyone who particularly likes/specializes in sequencing games: if it's a game with a lot of precise rules and no clear split do you just head straight into the questions? And do you have any tips on what to look for in order to tell if you should try splitting under timed conditions for a sequencing game?

I feel as though there is usually a clear split for grouping games (emphasis on usually), but I would love to know everyone else's thoughts on if it is more common than not, to not split a sequencing game given that there are usually more spots?

just thought I would ask so I can get comfortable with the idea of not splitting!

please let me know if anything above makes no sense lol, just finished a heavy day of studying

I have been studying for the LSAT for quite some time now and I have yet to get -0 on a new section of LG games. I can easily get -0 on sections I have already done but every time I do a new section, I can never get -0. How long did it take ya'll to consistently hit -1 or -0 on LG?

How long is the Lsat flex and how long is each section? for those that did flex already.

Hi I did one full section on PT80 (one LR section) and I want my answers without completing the other sections is that possible? Or do we have to complete the whole test to see results?

I'm testing on Saturday, and I'm just wondering when I should stop studying? I took a PT Sunday and did well, so I feel really confident going into the test. Should I leave it on that note or take on more tomorrow? Maintaining that sense of confidence is really important for me going into Saturday, so I'm worried another PT might somehow mess with that if for some reason it doesn't go as hoped, but I don't know if it's a bad idea to have 6 days between my last PT and the real thing. I've still been doing some light studying and will continue to do so probably through Thursday, but I really can't decide whether or not to test one more time, so any advice would be appreciated.

Any advice would be appreciated. This is my first time taking the flex (3rd time taking the lsat overall) and I’ve basically been studying every day since June 2020, like studying has become my full time job for the past 6 months. Initially, I started at a score of 143 and, to my dismay, I’ve been PTing around 157/158 (using the flex option on 7Sage) but My blind review is always 174-177. I’m aiming for a 170+ score but constantly getting in the 150s has seriously hit my confidence. I want to apply for fall 2021, and I’m debating whether I should switch it to feb to give myself another month to improve or if I should just chill out these next few days and take it on Saturday
