Wow, can't believe I didn't pick up on the distinction between legal permissibility vs. punishment in the answer choices. This is one of those questions where I'm not even mad that I got it wrong lol. Clever writing by the LSAT designers works well here to compel us to select a trap answer choice.

Question: Should I toggle "simulate flex" while taking prep tests?

Hi all. I know that there will be 4 sections on the real LSAT, with 3 being scored and 1 being experimental. However, the default option for taking prep tests gives you 4 scored versions. Would you guys recommend taking the flex test (which would perhaps lead to a more accurate score?) or taking the regular version to more accurately simulate the endurance required for the real test? I am leaning towards the latter option, but I know LR is my strong suit, and I don't want to give myself false confidence with the benefit of a higher % of my total score coming from LR. Thank you!

General · LSAT Tips: The Decision to Retake and Reapply

I made the decision to retake and reapply after having been nearly certain for years that I would go to law school right after college. It was certainly a difficult decision, as I had to find a job right before graduation when most of my friends had already figured out what they would be doing after graduation. I am very happy I made that decision, however. I am PTing much higher than I was then, I am working at a law firm that has given me a much better idea of what I want to be doing after law school, and I have had a more time to focus on my mental health and personal relationships. If anyone is feeling uncertain about their options I would definitely recommend taking a year or more to retake and reapply.

General · How do you all balance study time across LG LR and RC?

Personally for me, I found it best to go through the core curriculum in order and then focus on my weaker sections in between PTs. It really depends on when you plan on taking the test. You might feel like you're forgetting LR material, but when you finish the core curriculum, and get to the PTs, it'll likely come back to you.

I feel like the skills I learned in each section sort of apply to each other in a way. Like, you might think the LG curriculum is only useful for LG, but the logical thinking you are using in the section can be applied to RC and LR as well. However, if you are really worried about losing skills you learned in LR, I don't think it would hurt to throw in an LR section in your studying every now and then. Just make sure you don't overdo it and burn out!

General · Can a Gap Year improve my score?

A gap year can't improve your score, but what you do in a gap year can. If anything a break from school could be beneficial, as your brain can get fatigued during the school year. Just make sure you study regularly and you should be okay! I decided to take a year off before applying again and I do not regret it at all.
