Hi everyone! I just updated this post with a new tutoring session. Hope to see ya'll soon! The details are in the main post on page 1.

Hi! Super excited to get to join. Just want to confirm the zoom is for tonight, February 24th? It says Saturday, February 24th and just want to make sure I have the actual day right! Thanks for holding this!!

You can get on proctorU and have them vet your setup beforehand. Get on chat and just ask the rep to do it. Make sure you're using the same internet connection you'll be using on test day. If you have an update do that first then test the setup.

Thank you so much!!

It sounds like you might be burning out to be honest, so I would recommend studying a little less. Was the 172 a fluke, or is that around where you usually score? If you're usually scoring in the low 170s, I'd imagine the 162 is the fluke. Also, are you blind reviewing your tests? If you're doing a BR and you scored a 162 timed and a 178 untimed, it really does sound like burnout/fatigue. If you scored 162 both timed and untimed, I'd just recommend focusing on the sections of the test where you didn't do as well going forward. Definitely prioritize your time instead of trying to put in a lot of hours

Thank you for the advice and reassurance. Yes, I am scoring much higher on BR. The 172 was the first full practice test after I completed the CC (prior to CC I was scoring around a 166). I am going to be studying this week and then will plan to take the weekend off to try to prevent the burnout like you said may be a factor here. I really appreciate the advice!

If you get on and pick your time once LSAC allows you should be able to get the time you want. I would try and not have this be a stressor. The process for picking times and stuff is really easy. it asked the time you want then gives you the days that are available. Or you can pick the day you want and it'll give you the times available.

Best of luck on the exam,

Kole

Thank you, Kole! Good luck on the exam as well!

I just got the email and signed up for my Feb flex the 20th. I was super worried about this and wanted to do it like how you did. They offered it like 8am to 8pm like the person above said, with multiple options at each time. It seems pretty easy to get the time you want.

Thank you! Good luck with your Feb exam!!

You can pick whatever time you want. I think the times range from about 8am to like 9 pm and you can pick from a couple of days. You can pick whatever time you normally study at which is what I think is most helpful.

Thank you so much - super helpful info!!

As someone who had to move back home and deals with working from home (teaching) with my parents and siblings being home almost 24/7, I think you can definitely make it work. It helped me a lot to set clear boundaries with my family and when those boundaries were crossed, make sure I addressed it ASAP to make sure it did not happen again. It was an adjustment to ensure they gave me full privacy and also to make them understand my working hours went farther than the hours of the actual job. It was helpful for me to also let them know the same expectations from when I lived at home pre-college could not still stand (example, eating dinner together every night) because I simply did not have time for an hour long dinner/was not always free from work/meetings at the time of our typical dinner. I think ensuring those things are known in advance makes it easier to re-explain/re-tell family members when conflict arises. Good luck, I'm sure you will make the right decision for you!

@ thank you SO much! I'm sorry about Berkeley - their loss (but still fingers crossed you get off the WL)! This was so helpful.

@ thank you for the advice! Here are a few of my questions that I am still kind of confused how they work...

Can I register for CAS / submit my letter of rec requests over the summer if I am out of school and know who I want to write mine - or do I have to wait until applications actually open?

I know what I want to write in my personal statement, but do I need to tailor it for schools? What I have so far is pretty much exactly 2 pages double spaced, and I think taking something away would hurt the overall statement. But, would it be better to address each school specifically? Or is the personal statement okay to just be broad about me and law school in general?

In relation to my previous question, is it okay to keep my personal statement broad/generic and then do a "why __" for each school, even if they do not necessarily mention optional essays? Or is that inappropriate?

Last question - very specific... I went to undergrad the same place the whole time so only have one transcript, but during two summers I took one class as a "transient student" at my local state college - the course is listed on my official undergrad transcript as a summer transfer credit - do I still have to request a transcript from the local state college?

@ What do you mean by run the check for you on chat? I am using a 2020 air and passed the check on Proctor U, but if there is another check I can do in advance that would be great to know! thank you!!

If not too late/too many people, I would love some help! Thank you!

@ thanks so much!

@ Do you know the instructions on how to connect to an actual Proctor U representative to have them check? I did the automated check, but want to have an actual proctor check as well if possible (which I think it is from your comment above). Any tips on how to do that on Proctor U? Thank you so much!!
