oh wow, that wasnt there before... or studying too much... thank you both!

thanks for the reply, they dont seem to give you more space on a bigger screen. the box on lawhub seems to be locked in sizing.

no issues with a new mbp

if you are committed to studying, keep studying and push it back... nothing is more important than a high lsat score

yeah they pushed the date up of the exam from nov 14 to nov 7 so i think thats why it might have been changed

if you are not consistent, i would say no

Podcast Summary:

They believe every variant (with one exception) will be a curve of -8

The one exception is the combo of Orwell/Maple Trees LR + Newspaper LG which they believe will be -9

Curve is the # of Qs you can miss and hit 170. May 2020 curve was -9.

If I would like to know the curve for a test , how can I find it ? For instance I would like to know the curve for the November 2018 test

enter scores until you get a 170

All of the "gotcha" methods like time sinks and games that are supposed to take abnormally long are counterproductive to the entire purpose of the test in the first place.

The time pressure is already going to make test takers perform worse than if they were allowed to not have to rush through sections, so all of the extra BS if anything is just another barrier in getting an accurate evaluation of someone's true capabilities on the test as opposed to if they are savvy regarding the methods the test makers use. Why should you be penalized if it takes you 2 minutes to answer questions as opposed to 1:30, or because you didn't complete a game you actually could've finished because you were wasting time with a time trap? That says more about the circumstance than what you are truly capable of.

Knowing to skip a game or passage has no translation to any skills but can put two equally capable people into entirely different brackets of scores, in turn giving them entirely different law school prospects. That doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me.

Shouldn't we be less worried about others "cheating to get a higher score" and more so why the LSAT goes so far out of its way to make people jump through hoops that don't matter and are irrelevant to being a lawyer?

TL;DR - Worried about the wrong issues

this is hilarious to read... like what?

I got accepted to a law school with a 33% chance on 7sage predictor. Shoot your shot!

this is the way

think there are some misconceptions here about the amount of information needed to be constituted as cheating or having an unfair advantage. lets be clear, ANY information about the exam before going in to the exam will give those people an advantage. this is where you can argue how much of an advantage but there is no denying that there is one. the default reply to this is "how does knowing which game/passage/etc. was hard and help you do anything" i've even seen people try to argue "how does knowing the type of game help or i knew the game and what type it was and it still didnt help." this just baffles me, if you know which game is hard you know which game to save for last to attempt and even just save most of your time trying to get 3/4 games perfect before even attempting to do the last game. yes, this doesnt give you any additional points for that last game/passage/etc. but it also gives you a very clear strategy to attack that section without having to waste time or thought in to how to do the section in the most efficient way possible, and in turn, leading to a higher score than someone who had to parse through the section and waste time to do this with the same strat. for those people that even question if this is cheating clearly did not study this exam or have any clear understanding of it...

tl;dr - knowing things prior to the exam is cheating

try closing the extensions, force quit all apps and restart

i was at 88% after but there was 0 issues during the exam, i also think its wrong because i have the m1 mac and 16GB of RAM

For the FLEX do we have the option to choose "dark mode" and does the exam look the way it does on 7sage - specifically the font and the option to choose modes? Best of luck everyone, my exam is tomorrow.

no dark mode, lawhub format only

powerscore april flex podcast is up

second LR i found harder than the first but i would say above avg difficulty

LG-RC-LR-RC

2nd RC was way harder than the first, LR was pretty tough too... overall this was a pretty tough exam

@ said:

I had the opposite feeling about LG. I finished with 11 minutes to spare and verified all my answer choices for each game. Maybe this was a product of playing through 10 very tough/unusual games on Thursday but nothing about LG felt overly difficult as the setups all seemed conventional to me.

RC was the most difficult in my opinion. I think I struggled with the first passage which shook my confidence a little bit moving forward.

LR seemed more or less like a typical PT but I struggled to focus a little bit, especially early in the section - probably test day nerves.

Definitely agree with Julia's comment about being happy to have finished the test but doubting my score more than the typical PT.

had to same feeling with RC, first passage was kind rough for the first but the comparative for me killed me.

in agreement with the LG/LR sections, pretty standard

> The only explanations missing for 1-35 are the LR explanations from 1-16. Everything else is there. You can access them via the method @ described.

i know this is 5 years old, has this been updated with explanations?

just do a fresh restart and only open your internet browser and and run the check and everything should be fine. when i test it after using the computer for daily activities, it shows that my RAM usage is 99% with my m1 mbp and i have 16GB model so its not really going to be an issue.

Following, but my plan is mostly rest-based. I’ll do LGs most days to stay sharp, and I’ll try to keep reading a lot of “difficult material” to stay conditioned, but my primary goal is to rest the brain. (PS PowerScore has a great podcast on this).

care to link the podcast?

Cheers!
