For people who registered July LSAT, do we need to do anything? Like re-register? in order to take the Flex-lsat?

Yeah, you have to login to your LSAC account and confirm with them via an online submission form that you still want to take it in July as opposed to a later date.

I think you'll be A-ok. LG is like a muscle, the more you use it the better it gets, especially with repetition. Think of those games that you've already done as foolproof opportunities, and go back and review the ones you hadn't taken before to get a sense of how you'd do with 4 new games as opposed to 2 or 3. I wouldn't worry about it too much. You can also create your own LG section from games you haven't taken before and use that score to estimate you overall score in the PT if you want. Good luck!

I think the answer to your question lies in your BR vs Timed score difference. I just recently broke through the 174 barrier on my last two PTs (177 and 180 timed and BR), and the difference that really helped me with that was using the Flex simulation because I'm taking the August writing. Three sections is alarmingly easier for me to maintain focus on than four for me.

A few things that I've done over the past few weeks to help me:

I've been averaging about 2 or 3 practice tests per week with Blind Review and final question review with no other study. I try to give myself about an hour after I finish the timed section to BR, and then I don't go over all the explanations of the questions I missed until immediately before I'm about to take my next PT, sort of as a warmup.

I only BR the questions I've flagged - this really helps me tune my confidence gauge for the harder or trickier questions. **Super Important:**I've started flagging any questions that give me even the slightest pause to go back and review them under less pressure after I've at least looked at the whole section once through. This has really helped me identify questions and trap answers that I would otherwise be overconfident about. The key in doing all this testing is to hone in your intuition for what makes an AC right or wrong and to know when you should be confident or cautious about your AC.

For LR: skipping questions that take forever to read (like parallel reasoning and some of the applied principle questions) or questions I have to draw out with formal lawgic (I need to take my time with those questions so I leave them until the end), and trying to give myself at least 10-15 minutes at the end to review them has helped me tremendously. If I see a question I just don't like/doesn't click immediately, I skip to the next to keep my momentum and confidence up. Then, once I know I don't have to worry about time as much, I'll read it slowly and usually I'll get it down to two answers.

For RC, I found that I was in "LR Question Stem" reading mode in that I was acting as if I'd read something very similar to the passage before and was just skimming for key words. Follow JY's advice on this: take your time with the passage to understand it and then really be able to fly through the questions. Since I've started reading slower to comprehend more on the first pass through, I've really improved my RC accuracy and timing. Went from -3 or -4 to -0 to -2 regularly.

Hope that helps! Good luck!

tl;dr | ~2 PTs/week, review wrong answers directly before next PT, flag any question unsure about or that gave you trouble, only BR flagged questions, when in doubt skip to the next in LR, take it slow on RC passages

Wow, I misread the question stem and assumed that we were supposed to strengthen the argument opposing the airport's current decision to expand now, not strengthen it. I'm a sadboi now
