This is terrific advice, thoroughly appreciated!

I read the title of this post and only one word came to mind ---- Amen.

@ They sent out the email with full instructions this morning. We all select our preferred date(s) on October 30th.

@ Thanks that was fantastic. I feel my issues have to do with timing specially RC. I miss 3-5 each time around. I’ve noticed I’m comfortable with the first 3 passages but by the fourth I’m under a time crunch and I’m spending 2 mins reading and 3-4 mins on questions (even on 5 star passages with 6-7 questions). I usually finish them all but average 10-15 seconds per question. I’ll end up with 1-2 wrong on first 3 and 2-3 wrong on the last passage.

I’ve got guide posts that work for LR and LG. But I haven’t been able to figure out how to pace RC. Also I’ve never experienced having extra time on LR or RC. Occasionally I’m forced to leave a parallel question unanswered on LR due to time constraint.

Thanks again for spending time reading all this 🙏🏼

Hi jdseidler-1,

I have not tried recording the reasons I missed specific questions in a journal. Will definitely give it a shot. Thanks.

@ Thanks brother, that helped a lot. I feel like I've been psyching myself out a bit lately.

@-23 I'm confident we get to select which date works best for us on a first come first serve basis. I would recommend refreshing your email once every couple of hours if getting a specific time is a high priority for you --- don't stress yourself though one day earlier or later won't have any bearing on your hard work and preparation 💪🏼

This is an excerpt from LSAC's "About the LSAT-Flex" page:

"When exactly will the test be administered?

The November LSAT-Flex will occur the week starting Saturday, November 7, 2020. We expect that most test takers will test on either Saturday, November 7; Sunday, November 8; Tuesday, November 10; or Wednesday, November 11, with a small number of tests occurring later in the week based on specific remote proctoring requirements. We will open the scheduling sign-up process about 9 days before the first day of testing in November. We will provide more information and instructions to test takers prior to that time."

They are going to send us all a sign-up email exactly 9 days before the 7th. It's inconveniently buried in the LSAC website.

Finished 5 minutes ago...I got the RC-LR-LG combo. LR was easy finished with 5 minutes extra. RC was a bit harder than average (3 star) yet I managed to finish with 30 secs of extra time on that. However, LG felt brutal. Been averaging -0 to -2 ended up with no time for 4 questions. Although I skipped around so the ones I did answer I was 99% confident. Didn't occur to me that I had to save time to guess for skipped questions until 4 seconds on the clock so I ended up only bubbling in 2 of them randomly 🤦🏻‍♂️ --- Does that kill my dreams of getting a 170+?

Thank you J.Y. you’re a world-class teacher/mentor. The 7Sage podcast episode on the week/night before the test was specially helpful. Something about listening to all those success stories, as well as your wisdom gave me a great boost before my exams.

Congrats!

Thanks @.mullinkosson sounds like you’re killing it as well, best of you luck to you brother. Let me know if you want to review or study together sometime 💪🏼

@ Thanks for the in depth reply, it is very helpful! I am planning on applying this coming October for Fall 2022. I was just accepted into a compressed (3 month) paralegal certification program at the University of California, Irvine. I am going to complete that and work as a paralegal until I start law school. It will allow me to get a third non-academic letter of recommendation under my belt, while also giving me some valuable experience. I want to devote a solid year to my personal statement(s) as I will be applying to approximately 14 schools.
