I feel like these types of questions are impossible to answer without knowing content of the rest of the app. My general opinion is anything that shaped you is important. It is equally important to understand things that seem major to you might be trivial to others.

Awesome! What was your daily study schedule like?

At first I was doing 8-12 hours a day. Then I realized the last half was worthless. I've been doing 5-6 every since. I started with LSAT trainer. Took 30 to get through that. Then started 7 Sage early in July. I did most of the CC to some extent. Some of it I didn't touch because I have those areas grasped pretty well.

Started taking 2-3 PT's a week late in July. Making sure I find some way to grow significantly from each PT. Whether that come from review or testing strategies. I've probably left some opportunity to grow on the table by doing so many PT's in a short time.

LSAT · RC is holding me back from a 170. Please, could use some advice

I'm in the same boat as you, Harvey. Let's do this together.

I don't like it but I guess I'll be Louis here. I'm also in the same boat and will definitely try this method out! RC is going to get LITT Up.

Be Donna.

156 cold to 170 in 80 days.

I'm a suuuuuuuuper splitter (or will be come Sep 18th) and am feeling great heading into my first official writing.

My advice is keep going. No matter what, keep going. Life is not easy, neither is the test. When you are feeling down tap into your "why?"

As for knowledge find out what way of thinking about things works for you. Recalling my thoughts when selecting wrong (or right but uncertain) answers has been the biggest benefit for me. Also with LG, just trying to figure out "was there a better way I could have approached that game?" I don't necessarily look for the "most efficient" way directly, I more so seek flexibility in each game. Meaning, how many different ways could I have done this game? And more importantly, how do those thoughts apply to AR in general?

I'm pumped and no one else really understands the grind I've put myself through the last few weeks so I wanted to put the energy out there and claim it moving forward. I will master this test and you can too.

Quality post.

General · What, if any, are the differences between the LSAT Flex platform and the 7sage prep test platform?

For me the functionality of 7sage highlighters is much better. Other than that no major differences.

General · Creating a ProctorU account?

Thursday, Aug 13 2020

Step 1 - Create an account if you don't have one already. Use the same email that is registered to your LSAC account.

Step 2 - Enroll in something. You can't enroll in LSAC when creating an account.

Step 3 - Enroll in LSAC after you have created the account.

Step 4 - Logout. Forgot password. Reset password.

Step 5 - Log back in with new password. Schedule your time slot.

Admissions · any chance at all?

I just did the calculation because I didn't want to give you assumptive advice, of 198 schools (rank 1-149 and 3 unranked) that I have data on (either from this site or lawschooltransparency) less than 11% have median scores of 166 or better.

Of course you can man! And a 165 will definitely give you a shot. Less than 10% or something close to that of ranked law schools have a median LSAT above 165. Considering all the experience and perspective you would add to the class there's no reason you can't make a strong case.

Admissions · Would it be ok to say that I want to go to law school when applying for a full-time job?

There is no one size fits all answer to this question. The biggest factor is your personality and charisma. Do you have what it takes to use going to law school as a tool to increase offer amount? I'm in a position that most people would never leave. I brought up my law aspirations in a manner that put the ball in their court which was a gamble but paid off. They actively do what they can to keep me around $$$. But the money doesn't matter.

The way I see it is that any recruitment service or company has two motivating factors. Profit and security. Their goal is to hire people that fit in and will bring something to the table. They also want to hire people that want to grow within the company and have high aspirations. Look at the company values. See if they have post grad tuition reimbursement programs. Ask what qualifications are desired to grow within the company.

I absolutely would not allow there to be any secondary thought that you might only be around for a short time. If you can't swing law school aspirations as a benefit for the company don't mention it.

HELP: I pressed the simulate flex option on PT 80 after completing the first 3 sections. It says I got a 155 but my raw score was (65 out of 75) is this correct?? Seems very wrong because I never score below a 169 on 4 section PTs (my first time taking a flex)

Write down all your answers and circle the ones you flagged for BR. Delete the test and re-enter the answers in a fresh test. I do that every time to see my score before I BR lol.

LSAT · If I get a LR question wrong, how can I improve to make sure I don't make the mistake again?

Crazy that this popped up after 7 years. This is exactly where I'm at. Keep missing a few that I absolutely should not miss. Hopefully my comment makes it pop up for someone else who needs it.

Any major differences between Flex and Lawhub PT software?

it's identical, the proctor just gets you to log on to your lawhub account and the flex is just added as another test

Thank you. I saw in another thread you crushed it. Congrats!

When using the Flex simulator, how does the system decide which LR section to dismiss? And will the one remaining LR comprise of more of an equal spread of LR question types than that of the dismissed section?

The second section is dismissed.
