It is really good that you self-disclosed. You need to re-evaluate after you have your academic integrity interview or hearing and you need to read your schools academic integrity policy handbook. It could be that an academic integrity board member has to contact you for an interview any time there is even a slight question. (no matter what you are guaranteed a chance to give your side of the story), and after the initial interview then they decide if they are going to pursue it or not. If they are not going to pursue it you should receive an email or letter as such and may not have to disclose (based on the application wording). If they do move forward, you would have a hearing and afterwards they would reach a decision on the outcome. If it's dismissed after a hearing, then you would probably still want to include an addendum to your application. This is because when you graduate from law school and apply to the bar they will find the ac. integ. investigation, and if you didn't disclose it in your law school application you could have a huge issue. Obviously, if you are found guilty you would need to include an addendum explaining the circumstances, what resulted, and how you have learned/grown from the issue.

Finally, if you apply, but have not received a final determination from your academic integrity board you may not need to disclose it, but as soon as you get the result your next move better be to update your application, or if you are already in law school, go straight to your dean of academic affairs and disclose it then.

Obviously I am not a lawyer, but have had some experience in this issue. As long as you are up-front, truthful, and can demonstrate growth you should be just fine!

Good Luck!!!

@ and @ thank you both so much, you both actually answered exactly what I wanted to know. Great advice b/c I wasn't very feeling comfortable finding the answer and moving on to try to increase speed, but I will use the "exact paraphrase or read all" tip.

@ I haven't taken it yet. I'm taking it in October. How long has it been since you have taken it? If you haven't received your actual score from LSAT (which I'm assuming you have since it's been over 3 weeks since you posted), then it wouldn't be there until you receive your score. If you cancelled your score it won't be there at all I don't think. Anything outside of those options, I'm not very helpful, sorry.

#help with answer strategies/not reading all choices vs. reading all

At what point should you feel comfortable that you have "mastered" a particular approach to a LR question type, so that you no longer need to review all the answer choices? or should you ALWAYS read all the answer choices? For Example, in MP questions, if you find the answer choice to be "C", do you continue to read thru the other answer choices, or just select it and move on? Is there a difference to your strategy if you think "A" is the right answer choice, do you read all choices in that situation? Plz share any info on answering strategies to increase speed and accuracy. Thnx!

@, just wanted to tell you not to get discouraged! I started out the same way, my PT's were always in the lo 140's, but I had already registered, so I took the LSAT and scored a 141. Obviously I wasn't pleased, so I kept studying and PT'ing, 3 months later I scored a 150. I was accepted to a lower tier law school, but I wasn't happy there. I am back to 7 sage & retake the LSAT so I can score higher (159-163) to get into the school I really want to go to. I have started over from the beginning of the 7sage curriculum like I had never done it before and I am learning sooooo much more than I did the first time thru. I study 1.5-2 hrs, take a break for about 30-45 min to let it sink in, and then getting back to it for another 1.5-2 hrs. I find that if I go longer than that, my brain is fried, I zone out, and I am not really making the best use of my time. It's hard to stop studying when you are on a roll or b/c you know you only have a couple months til you take the test and there is so much material, so to appease myself I usually read thru the discussion threads, review my flashcards, or type out my notes for the day. The discussions are actually super helpful and a few concepts have just clicked after reading another perspective. If you have been thru the entire curriculum once, maybe you should go thru it again and if you absolutely must do PT's, pick 1 day for them, until you are at your level of mastery of each subject. I agree with the other comments here that if we want to increase our scores we absolutely MUST make sure we have mastered the basics, and studying more than about 4 hours is probably a waste. Our brain needs time to let all that info sink in. If you overload it then that won't happen.

As a side note, I watched the Netflix Series "THE MIND Explained" (episodes on memory & mindfulness) and the memory episode had some great tips for solidifying concepts!! Good Luck!

LSAT · ⚖ Official July 2020 LSAT-Flex Discussion Thread ⚖

@ said:

Hey! Just took the LSAT Flex today... it was my second time taking the test and I am honestly worried. I didn't get to the 4th game or the 4th passage, but I think I did decent on everything else. I guessed on 15-20 questions throughout the entire test. My PT was around 155-165. I'm just wondering if it's frowned upon to take the LSAT a 3rd time?

I will be taking it for the 3rd time this August. I was admitted to law school last fall, but I am trying to get into a different school that requires a higher LSAT score, and since I am not in the top 10 of my class they won't let me transfer w/o retaking the LSAT. That said, the Deans of Admissions at both schools have told me that they don't judge you on how many times you take it as long as you are making improvements. Since the tests vary in difficulty so much and circumstances can happen to throw you off in a test, they understand if you get a lower score and then re-take. If you feel very insecure about it you could always include an addendum to your application stating why you took it over, it's my understanding that the admissions committees appreciate addendum explanations (as long as they aren't too long).

Does flex allow accommodations?

In case your question hasn't been answered. Yes they do, I emailed them. Depending on your accommodations you will get your extended time, additional paper, etc. They did tell me that they don't have any way to let people do a few things (paper test, etc). But if you have been granted accomodations, they will be honored.

@ Doofenshmirtz thank you! I was sincerely worried that someone might have thought that he meant the actual LSAT-Flex (I read it that way at first) and if they just showed up randomly w/o a time, they would be screwed. I apologize to @ for attacking your comment, you are correct and thank you Heinz Doofenshmirtz for clarification!

@ and @.taima I don't think the previous comment by @ is correct, you can't just take it whenever you want. You must sign-up for a time slot. If you read your confirmation email, it says you will receive an email approx. 2 weeks before the test date with information on selecting a time and day to take the test. Specifically, the agreement you are required to read when registering for the LSAT says: "Reporting Time: You must report to the LSAT Test no later than the reporting time indicated on your LSAT Admission Ticket. You will not be admitted to the LSAT Test after the time set forth on your LSAT Admission Ticket. You must report to the LSAT-Flex Test no later than the time you schedule for your LSAT-Flex Test. You will not be admitted to the LSAT-Flex Test if you report to the LSAT-Flex Test more than one (1) hour after your scheduled time for the LSAT-Flex Test. LSAC will strictly enforce the reporting deadlines set forth in this provision. If you are a candidate at an international Test center, please carefully review the actual Test date, day, and reporting time printed on your LSAT Admission Ticket for the LSAT Test." YOU ABSOLUTELY MUST SCHEDULE A TIME, DO NOT SHOW UP TO TAKE THE LSAT-FLEX WHENEVER YOU FEEL LIKE IT!

I have a random question, does anyone know how taking 3 sections in the LSAT FLex vs. 4-5 on the regular LSAT will effect scores? Currently, the score received is based on your raw score of how many answered correctly over 4 sections, if you take out 23-26 questions then it seems to me it would be harder to achieve, for example a 160, on the flex than the regular. Am I wrong? Is it the same and I just am not thinking about it the right way? Initially, I thought the 3 sections would be much better because you aren't wondering which is the experimental section and less time spent taxing your brain to it's fullest, but now I am reconsidering. Thoughts??? Or does anyone have a raw scores conversion chart from a recent LSAT flex?

It should be on your LSAC account, You go to the LSAT part of your LSAC account; Go to your home page and then scroll down to the LSAT Registration; Click on the "Registrations and Statuses" Box, then scroll allllll the way down (depending on how many applications/LORs/etc. you have on there) and you will see a box at the bottom with each and every test date, then PDF's of scores and Answers sheets and if the test was disclosed then you will see the actual answers/score conversion and other PDFs. The only thing I couldn't find on there was the actual test so u can hopefully just look it up on the 7sage or LSAC Prep plus site, just look for the date you took the test (hopefully it will be the same version you took, but you may wanna check and make sure, since everyone doesn't get the same version)

I just tried to register for the July test and it said it was full, that I would have to pick another date....So unless that was for Tennessee only, you may only be able to take the August LSAT
