General · November 7 LSAT-Flex (US and Canada)

@ said:

Does anybody know how to check laptop and webcam functionality before the actual test day? When I registered to write for the November test, there was a link to ProctorU to check equipment but I was under the impression I had to create a ProctorU account to do so, which I didn't. Was I supposed to create an account? Has anyone else encountered this?

Thank you in advance!

I did a computer test before my October test and I believe I followed links LSAC emailed me in order to do so. I tried to test mine early too, but I don't think I could without making an account either.

I remember trying to make an account on Proctor U early and there was no acceptable option of institution. If memory serves, I believe you will have to use a link LSAC emails you to create an account.

General · Tips for Testing Faster?

@ I think my trying to fully comprehend is part of my problem with RC. I'm simply too slow, so it often will take me 7+ minutes just to feel pretty good with the passage. I have heard that advice and it totally makes sense, the answers should come faster. I have been using my mouse to follow for LR and RC and that has been very helpful for keeping me focused.

@ I recently started trying the low resolution summary for RC and I'm hoping that will help get down the main points and not focus too much on the details.

Unfortunately it's all 3 sections, although RC is my slowest and LR is my fastest.

Thanks for the pointers and any others are welcome!

Tips for Testing Faster?

I have been a slow test taker my whole life. I've never completed every question of a standardized test (ACT, GRE, LSAT) and even after two months of dedicated studying and taking 10 full timed LSATs I've never completed a single section (LR, RC, LG/AR) without guessing on 5+ questions in the last minute.

Has anyone else had problems like this and managed to overcome? I know the more I familiarize myself with the material the quicker it should come, but since this has been the case for me forever and I have been a good student, it seems like a bigger issue.

Some helpful tips I've been working on are to skip a question if I'm not understanding and come back, and take the test like I'm trying to get my actual goal score, not a 180 (avoid time sucks basically). Any other pointers?

I studied (and by studied I mean took practice tests and problem sets) for two months and wasn't seeing significant progress, so I decided to pay for a month before my November test.

It is pretty overwhelming to see the course load and know I can't get through much of it in time, but I have found the lessons I've gone through helpful for honing in what I'm supposed to be looking for in the stimulus. I think learning some of these basics could help boost your score, and it's not too much of a financial investment, so I say why not?

LSAT · RC Strategy?

dncampbelldc543

Thursday, Oct 01 2020

RC is my worst section as well. I usually end up entirely skipping one of the four passages because I take so long with the other 3. I've tried several strategies to RC: skimming the passage first then rereading and underlining, reading once and taking notes, just reading thoroughly once through with underlining. Nothing seems to work for me. Would love any other specific pointers!
