You're going to do so well!!! I find that it is really helpful to go into the test with an understanding that you will get some questions wrong - like I literally say to myself before a test, I will get some questions wrong. It's calming for me and helps me focus. You'll do great!

@leahfessler8694 if you look at the icon legend, the green icon means that it is not yet available!

I am in the same boat and just signed up for the July test. Who knows if that will be remote or not - I'm located in New York City and had to sign up in New Jersey. My bet is that it will be remote, who knows what will happen. I don't think I am going to cancel my score because the truth is that these are extraordinary times and a bad first score can be really easily explained in an application addendum given the circumstances. I agree with The Great White Shark about checking with individual schools, but even schools that look at all scores only report the highest ones for their own rankings.

LR seemed normal-ish tending on hard for me, LG seemed easy, and I think I really messed up on RC. I'm honestly so upset because I've been regularly scoring in the high 160s and this test really didn't feel like that. I felt like I was guessing on so many RC questions and I honestly could see myself getting a score in the 150s, and I feel just so heartbroken by this test right now.

I am supposed to take my test tomorrow, but when I look at the LSAT flex tab, it presents a certifying statement - can someone who took it today just let me know what the process is exactly? Like do you log in at your scheduled time and just start? I'm so confused....

LSAT · LG Help: from -0, -1 to -8 on a section that is 1/5 on difficulty

This has happened to me - It's usually because I'm speeding by the rules on easier games, and making really silly mistakes because of rushing. In my experience, overpracticing is detrimental and taking a break from sections where it seems like I'm suddenly doing worse in has been beneficial. Good luck!

I'm also freaking out because I was PTing 167-170 between 8 weeks ago and 2 weeks ago, and the last two PTs have been 164 and 165, and I'm worried about the May LSAT Flex reflecting this downward trend!!!

Hardest games in PT 74-81?

Hi everyone!

I am gearing up to take the May LSAT Flex and want to get as many games/general practice in as I can, especially from more recent tests. I don't have access to PrepTests beyond 72 on 7sage, but do have access to the full Preptest 73 through LSAC. I will take this one as a timed practice test. I also purchased the print version of Preptests 72-81. Since the test is three weeks away, I won't have time to do all these practice tests as full timed exams, and would like to use at least three or four of them as section practice with material I haven't seen before. With all that context established:

What are some of the hardest games (and LR sections, if any come to mind) in these tests (74-81) that you have encountered? I'd love to focus my time on these as the date comes up. It's really helpful to see new games variations/different language. Also, if anyone has last-minute tips/de-stressors to help with performance anxiety, I would love to hear them. Thank you!

Hi :) I think the important piece here is that the ants CAN'T use pheromones when the temperature is above 45 degrees (as it is in the afternoon in the Sahara desert.) The reason they can't use them is because the stimulus says that pheromones evaporate almost instantly once that 45 degree mark hits. If they've evaporated into thin air, there is no way for an ant to use them, so any Saharan ant that does want to look for food during the afternoon generally (I think they use generally to account for the slim amount of time when the pheromones evaporate) can't use pheromones. I hope this helps!

I chose A and it's not only that it's not the function of the words, it is also NOT an actual case. It's a hypothetical example. And if it is an actual case, that's not stated and it's not fair to assume. Hitting myself over the head for missing that...

I fell for the trap of choosing an answer choice (C) which is more of commenting on the premise than commenting on the link between the premises and the conclusion. Agh. Is it typical that there is a hint like the one in the question above for questions like these? #help

This was a really helpful video. I chose B because I was not focusing on the "backwards" aspect (the main aspect/principle.) In the blind review, I also chose B, so this is an indicator that I need to practice close reading!!!

I chose the right answer and then picked D in the blind review. What threw me off in reviewing was the assumption that France would not know about graphite. I've noticed that I have a tendency to overthink the assumptions with MSS questions, so it is helpful to know that 1) my instincts are right more often than not and that 2) recognizing the question type can help me in the future avoid overthinking these right answer assumptions (since the wrong choices make much greater assumptions!!!!)
