Hi - I am confused - do we need to create a ProctorU username and password ahead of time?

It seems to suggest it in Step#4 here: https://www.lsac.org/lsat/taking-lsat

but it wouldn't let me when I tried here: https://go.proctoru.com/students/users/new

Hey 7Sagers,

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

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

Rules:

❌ You can't discuss specific questions. 🙅‍♂️

You CANNOT say things such as the following:

Hey guys, so I am testing my laptop for this weekend and I've allowed camera and microphone use, but everytime I test it, it says that camera width and height are not found. Can anyone please help me?

I think I have learned the key to LR.

Overall you can classify most LR questions by the type of answer they are looking for.

Powerful Question Types

Strengthen

Weaken

Sufficient Assumption

Paradox

Provable

Necessary Assumption

Flaw

Main Conclusion

If you focus in on these chareteristics of correct answer choices you will be able to rule out most of the time 3/5 answer choices. Leaving you with a 50 percent chance to get the answer correct. Once you've done this you look at the two answer choices and look to see whats wrong with one rather than whats correct about one.

Hi everyone,

I'm an international candidate, and the only reasonable time I could sign up for was 5:30am local time.

Early morning hours between 2am and 5:30am were the only options I had left right after receiving the sign-in email from LSAC at around noon on May 26 eastern time (I'm a first-time test taker). I sent an email to LSAC to ask if I could schedule for an evening time, but I'm not confident that they will let me reschedule. Candidates in my country have been complaining about this time zone issue since 2020, and LSAC still isn't providing more time slot options for international candidates.

Are there other international candidates who had to take the test very early in the morning, and do you have any tips? Right now I'm performing at about 15 points below my practice test scores because I can't even finish the questions on time. (I normally finish all of the questions and have time left to review.)

I've been practicing waking up at 3:30am, have 2 hours to wake up my brain, and take a practice test at 5:30am, but it hasn't been very successful. So I would appreciate any and all tips you could share! Thanks in advance.

I have been scoring almost perfect on LR & RC within the time constraints (-1 or -0 on both).

I can only get -6 when taking LG with the time constraints BUT when I do LG problem sets with no time constraints I get -0. Does anyone have advice for doing LG faster without messing up?

I wasn't sure which phrase would indicate the self-interest

Admin Note: Edited title. Please use the format: "PT#.S#.Q# - brief description of the question"

where can I find a lesson on the difference between these two question types?

I finished the LR part of the core curriculum and took the Single LR Section. I didn't do well because of timing. Should I do more LR or just move onto the LG and RC sections?

I am having a hard time understanding why 'D' is the correct answer choice. I initially chose 'A' as my answer, yet obviously, this was incorrect. I was hoping someone could break it down for me and explain why 'D' is correct and why 'A' is incorrect. Thank you in advance

In the real LSAT test with the computer, can you really draw the logic just like JY did? I cannot imagine that I can draw the logic on the scratch paper and read the passage on the screen at the same time. Also, can you read the questions aloud? I don't sound loudly, but it's louder than whispering. I'm a slow reader, and if I don't read the passage aloud, I have to read it again and again to understand the context. Moreover, I am familiar with paper tests, so I am aware that I will have to spend more time reading the questions on the screen.

I took the LSAT in 2018 and scored a 167. I plan to take a diagnostic test tomorrow to see where I stand now. If I score 160+ in my diagnostic test, would 2.5 months be enough time to study to take LSAT in August and complete the 7sage curriculum? According to the study schedule generator, I would have to study 20-25 hours per week starting today to ensure I take at least 6 PTs by the August 2022 LSAT.

Thank you!

I was doing some LR drills, and Q26 on PT 6 S3 felt like I just needed prior knowledge to answer the question successfully. I feel like this is what catches me up on a lot of questions that are rated as max difficulty. I really struggle with the stimulus content and question wording and it just feels impossible to answer. Has anyone done this question specifically and could give me a breakdown of how they came to the right answer? Or just general tips for handling an extra wordy stimulus?

Hello! I started studying for the LSAT March of 2021 and took it twice in August 2021 and November 2021 (had not used 7Sage to prepare). Both times, I experienced something strange with the LR section: it was as if I had never seen the section. I wasn't able to process the words or make sense of the questions or able to see the patterns associated with the question types (as I usually am during studying and practice tests). The first time around, I thought this may be happening because I am not as prepared as I should be but the second time, I felt prepared. I have been following the Core Curriculum and it has helped me tremendously. My PTs after starting the CC have been 166 and 163 respectively (as opposed to my 158 official score both times). I will be taking the test September 2022 so I have a solid 3 months to reach my goal of 172+ but I am worried about experiencing what I did for the LR section my previous two administrations. What do you think this could be and how can I ensure that this doesn't happen again during my September test? Looking forward to your response, thank you!

Hello!

I was wondering if anyone has any tips and getting to -0 for timed PTs for LGs?

When I blind review, I correct it to -0 but then under timed PTs I still get -3, to even -6 under timed conditions.

It seems I get overwhelmed when a game has a lot of variables? For example, PT 68 game 4, I missed three questions, two cbt (felt overwhelmed under timed PT by rule that consecutive can't be the same topic, and brute forcing answer choices).

Other PTs I noticed my mistakes are I didn't read the questions stem properly under timed, or through a mbt question chose an answer that could be true. So tips for that pressure of timed PTs would be appreciative lol

I've foolproof before but haven't done so in a month, should I just get back it?

I am really struggling with reading comprehension! Do you guys have any tutors you would recommend? Really appreciate it! Thank you.

Is there a way to filter my analytics priority type questions, such as NA type, and filter out all the ones missed in LR and create a problem set to drill those questions?

I'm registered for the June 2022 exam but I want to delay it to August/Sept but it doesn't have the option for me to to change dates? Does anyone know why is it that we can't see or choose later dates?

Going through some problem sets and I've noticed that inference and MBT are labelled distinctly despite that fact that I thought they were identical question types. Am I missing some nuance between the two?

Hi anyone else facing problems in scheduling? Every slot is not available

Just started the first week in cc of LG and feel like I am an idiot. When I am doing the problem set, I can barely get 50% right answers for 3 star questions within 17:30. Couldnt calm down when I am drawing game board and make inference properly. Misread stem all the time. But during blind review I could easily draw a game board almost the same as JY and may only miss one question eventually. Dont know why that happened. Any advice to improve? Or just practice? My brain's like frozen with time restriction lol

Are you supposed to finish every problem set for each LR question type in the core curriculum before you move on to a new LR question type?

Just opened up Proctor U to check if I could schedule because I remembered hearing that people who were NOT first time test takers were able to schedule earlier on Proctor U ahead of the time that LSAC emails out the link. It worked!!!! I am scheduled now and got the time I wanted!!!! Go check if you are a repeat test taker! Sending good vibes to all testing in June, we got this!

Hi everyone! This is related to PT55S3Q24, but it is on necessary assumption questions with conditional language in general-- how do you do the negation test with conditional AC's? And what is a good approach for NA Q's with conditional language in the stimulus-- sometimes I feel like I can approaching them too similarly to a SA Q. Thanks!

Wondering because it would make my life easier in RC.
