Needed to hear this! Congratulations! I'm a fellow full-time journalist applying to really similar schools! You're giving me hope!

For any people who did their first writing sample for the Jan 2021 LSAT Flex, many days roughly did it take for LSAC to approve your writing sample?

Mine was approved within 24 hours

I forgot to show my paper at all and it was still accepted!

Does anyone know what time of day the scores will be posted?

Following...have never been so stressed. And also can’t remember anything from the test, hoping that’s normal???

This thread is giving me hope!

It will say “exam initiated” until it’s approved!

I'm in same boat as you! I definitely don't think it's too late. Of all the schools I've talked to, they said the Jan LSAT is perfectly acceptable, and applying in Feb won't hurt your chances. Just don't rush to make the deadlines if you're app isn't ready. If you think your application is the best it can be, send it!

Hoping some of the guesses were right!

One about locked buildings and one about paintings and sculptures from diff centuries.

I had LG second, and am so bummed because they were very straightforward to doable yet somehow I was on game 3 and only had 6 minutes left. Idk where the time went! This made me panic and I ended up guessing on at least 5 Qs (I can’t even remember). I’m bummed because I should have easily gone -2 on LG, but it probably brought me down so much.

Those of you who sat for the test already, how are you easing your post test anxiety? I can’t stop thinking about everything I did wrong, what I know I messed up, and calculating possible scenarios to hit my goal score. I need to relax, but it won’t leave my brain!

Any tips to make it to Feb 3?

Few months ago I read a comment that said, "I undersestimated how nervous I was going to be", and I thought, "I think I'm going to be okay".

I couldn't even think for the first couple minutes in. I skipped first 3 questions in LR. I was able to come back later to finish though.

I thought LR was hard.

RC was easier than some of the PTs in the 80s, it was fair.

LG, I ran out of time during the last game and took educated guess in 2 of them. And the last two it was straight a guess. We shall see...

This was my experience exactly! I blacked out during the first few LR, kept rereading and just couldn’t focus.

Same with LG, had to make guesses on a few.

Can I ask what your goal was/what you normally PT?

Just finished the LSAT Flex. Tried to ease my nerves in the beginning but was definitely overwhelmed once I began. I feel like I blacked out on the first 5 questions but hopefully pulled through. It was a fair section.

Feeling really confident about first two LG but had to make guesses on a few questions in each third and fourth games due to timing.

RC seemed fair, nothing out of the ordinary.

I don’t know how to feel right now — I either did well and met my goal or it was my worse performance yet! These next three weeks waiting for scores will be tough! Anyone else feeling like they aren’t sure how they did?
