I had to call during my writing exam because the program had cut me out. They made me do a room scan again once I was back in the program. But, while I was on the call and my phone was on the table while I did so. When I hung up the phone, I put my phone farther away to the side and under the table. Is this going to be a problem? Has anyone had a similar situation occur?

This was gonna be my first LSAT and I wasn’t able to take it. I logged in and then proctor took over, then the computer began to lag like crazy. We kept on disconnecting. My internet is fine and is fast but when they took over, it went to crap. We tried to fix it for two hours and no luck. I went to buy a usb Ethernet adaptor to fix the connection issue by connecting my laptop directly to the modem. The proctor told me to call LSAC to see what we can do and he even said to download the chat box later to try again. I talked to tech support for proctor u and they didn’t know about this chat box (this one that allows the proctor to talk to you and take over your computer) but told me to email them to reschedule. Today was the last day to take the exam on the schedule. Wth! Am I screwed here? Anyone have/had this issue and is there a way to take the October exam still?

During the sign in process with my proctor, my webcam signal was not being received. I spent more than 4 hours with technical support resolving the issue, but when it finally was resolved, I was informed that my examination window had closed and that I needed to contact LSAC to request an extension. When I called the testing support line, a guy told me that all LSAT slots were full until January! That doesn't seem right... Does anyone know if there's a special route for people to sign up for a new session if they were unable to write due to tech issues?

Hey guys! I was curious as to how you all have gone about studying different game types. Do I need to wait till I master one before moving on to the next? Or can I do a few at once? I'm taking the November test and logic games is what's holding me back. I'm only getting about 11-12 correct. Thanks in advance!

Does anyone have experience with this?? On both LG and RC sections, I lost connection and ultimately, my vid cut out. They took 30 minutes and still couldn't solve it, which for RC meant that what I'd read was not in my brain anymore. I requested to reschedule rather than spend more time waiting for no reason.

Will I be able to reschedule?? I'm so upset!

Anyone wants to do a zoom session where we discuss a reading comp. section? 80+ reading comp answer wordings are something else. We'll decide what test to take, we don't score or BR yet, get on zoom, compare answers and discuss our understanding of each passage and how we arrived at our respective answers.

I keep seeing people referring to the Oct. 8th administration date in a way suggesting that it's only for international students. I'm in the United States and signed up for the Thursday date without any issue. However, now I'm getting paranoid that I'm not going to be able to take the test tomorrow or something! Any other Americans taking the test tomorrow (Oct. 8th)?

So I started my test, was having tons on problems got tossed around to different proctors/technicians. Eventually was able to start the test, got through the first section and then the connection went out with 2 minutes left. At that point the proctor/technicians told me to just reschedule. When I called LSAC they told me I had to take it this Friday even though there were empty slots to reschedule this week. Just wondering if anyone else had similar experience/was told to retake on Friday.

Hi, I completed my LSAT writing a couple of days ago and while I was trying to take a pic of my ID I was talking to my mom to press the capture button so I could stabilize it since it was coming out blurry (but this was before I started the test). And I also forgot to show under my desk. Does anyone think this is grounds for disqualifying my submission/flagging it? I’m kinda worried and don’t know what if I should call LSAC or not.

Do LSAT writers not realize that there are non native speakers taking the test as well? I was on track for a 170+ for November until I started PT80+. I'm all over the place. Half the time I don't even know what the questions are saying.

Are the wordings on PT80+ more difficult to digest or I'm just tired?

I got -9 on my diagnostic, -2 BR. Today's -1 was from PT1. I'm wondering if it's just because of the passages that I was able to pull this off? Did anyone else find the passages from PT1 to just be easier...?

Sharing this for my personal growth and in case it benefits a single person. I went -5 on RC for the first time (usually -9 to -11) and immediately took note of what I did differently. Looking at it on paper, it's all so obvious, but it's stuff that apparently I had to learn the hard way.

Highlight less

I must be losing 1-3 questions' worth of time switching between colors, highlighting, and sometimes even erasing. Stahhhp!

Worry less

Don't freak out and reread anything for the sake of committing it to memory or catching every little detail. The test writers have word minimums. Like someone said in one of the 7Sage podcasts, lots of RC passage material will go over your head, that's what it's supposed to do - the game, then, is fighting the instinct to fully understand every single thing that's handed to you. Every sentence cannot be the most important sentence. Unhighlighted space or unremarkable information should be expected and embraced, not fretted over. Read actively and move tf on.

Concentrate... but really

Nothing in the world exists except this sentence.

Rush rush rush

Shed the mindset that the first passage will get you into the groove.

I have taken 3 PT's so far and I have been scoring around -14/-13 on LR. Do you guys think that it is just a matter or going back to the fundamentals of how to tackle question types and drill those questions? Or should I just keep taking separate timed sections on LR?

Hi, just wondering if anyone could explain this to me. I'm not really seeing what the flaw is. (Flordyce University archaeology question)

Hello,

Can someone please provide their process for RC blind review? Do you typically go through the answers using only your low resolution summaries or is it beneficial to reread the passage and do entirely new summaries then answer then go through the questions?

Help, what is a conditional indicator and can you give me an example? Thank you!

Good Evening,

As I am starting the logic games section, I am noticing that setting up the board games is the most difficult part for me, I am able to make the inferences necessary on my own and figure out the questions in a timely manner but the hardest part is to not only set up the boards efficiently but correctly, what do you think is the best method to master the set up in order to develop proficiency in logic games? #help

My exam was set to start at 9:10 and I am still on the waiting screen at 9:28 without any proctor. Anyone else experiencing this right now?

Hey 7Sagers,

Here's the official October 2020 LSAT-Flex Discussion Thread.

**Please keep all discussions of the October 2020 LSAT-Flex here!**(/red)

Rules:

❌ You can't discuss specific questions. 🙅‍♂️

You CANNOT say things such as the following:

Hi, I just finished the October LSAT and now turn to the writing part. Do anyone know if we need a web camera for the LSAT writing? Can I use a computer without camera? Thank you!

Hi! I am confused when I should chain the conditional statements to make inferences and when I shouldn't in the In/Out games. I noticed that when JY explains the games where each of them connects in some way, sometimes he chains them and then makes inferences, and sometimes he doesn't. So I am not sure when I SHOULD NOT chain? If the conditions connect to each other in a chain then why is he not doing it in some while doing it in others? Also, I have been chaining the games whenever I can because that helps me make inferences, sometimes that helps me get the answers right, sometimes it doesnt. So I am not sure what I should do.

Can a claim that's not supported be considered as an intermediate conclusion?

Can intermediate conclusions be attacked (even though they're also a premise?)

Asking due to PT 67 LR Section 4 Q24 - If we accept that If not Larocque, then Student, why would C weaken the argument?

Admin Note: https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-67-section-4-question-24/

What size paper is allowed for flex? I've been using legal pad, will that be okay??

Feeling frustrated because I feel like as I practice games, I'm only memorizing those specific games and not getting better at making inferences. Any advice/perspective?

Does anyone have any hints or tips on how to get RRE questions correct? #help
