@ trying calling LSAC ASAP if you Havent already! I heard some people were able to re schedule for a later time in the week if they had a really bad proctoru experience that affected their performance (but this was for the August flex... However I'm sure they still grant the same thing now). Either way, call and see if you can re take in a couple days!! Also, if you don't have strong wifi, invest in an Ethernet cable. It provides much more stable connection or if you can take it at a workplace with strong wifi, definitely go for that. I was able to reserve a room at the company my mom works at and I haven't had an issue with proctoru for the 2 times I took the flex.. with today being the 2nd time

I got everyone in my house to leave for the day so I would have a strong and reliable connection. I am hoping they can give me a coupon for the January session as this was such a terrible experience. Sadly, my boss already said they won't give me time off for it later this week so I will need a coupon or just have to suck it up, cancel my score, and register for January.

I had a similar experience earlier this morning. It happened to me during RC and, just like you, I lost precious time. I was absolutely furious (and also panicked). You can make a formal complaint and have LSAC investigate. Here is the link to more info:

Thank you! I wrote a non-formal complaint as I want to make a formal complaint over the phone since I would like so more information about it. Did you end up making a complaint?

If the first person you spoke to at LSAT wasn't helpful- try again. I know from the August test which I was never even able to start because of tech issues that weren't my fault that there is a makeup day on Friday for all Flex admins. It took me three representatives to tell me this and I literally never even saw the test. I was told it is difficult to get one of those makeup exam spots but it can be done. Good luck!

I would honestly be a okay if they gave me a coupon to use for January as my testing experience was so bad. I wrong a non-formal complaint as I couldn't get a hold of someone. I will be calling them first thing tomorrow morning. I would need a coupon as I will not be able to get the time off work for Friday to do rewrite. I am so mad about it but I really appreciate the words!

I have taken two practice test since posting this, (both untimed flex) and I got 151 and then 152. If I can pull these off timed on tuesday, I feel it will be a good starting point to go from for the January session.

I started self-studying for the LSAT in August of last year and took the November 2019 test, sorely unprepared. I was a professional dancer in my younger days and had no experience in this realm, so learning this test was like learning a new language. It wasn't until a few months ago I started scoring consistently in the mid-150s. Devoted 20 hours a week for a year to get there. I had not expected it to take so long, but everyone is different. Once I developed a strategy that worked best for me I stuck to it and I'm finally where I need to be. I'm sitting Tuesday for my third and final take, so I'm with you. Best of luck!

Good luck to you as well!!

@ You do not need to study 6+ hours a day. My guess is that very few people honestly get much out of more than 4 hours a day of studying. My guess would be to look at how you are studying. Clearly the way you have been studying is not effective for you. If you just started up again recently do not sweat a single poor result, and I agree with you about Khan, I made little gains there.

Regardless, not much to do now. Just do your best this week and hope it goes well, and take again in January. You CAN do this. Relax. Have you completely full proofed logic games? If you are getting more than a couple wrong in games I would concentrate there. Foolproof games, drill them every day. Do not worry too much about RC. It is the hardest to make gains in, and you are not trying to make a 180, but to get a mid 150. When you are able to get only -2 to -0 on every games section, move on to LR. I will give one tip for RC. Do every main point question last in any section. Read it, flag it, move on, then come back when you are done with the rest of the section.

At the moment, I am averaging about -5 on the logic games. I am only screwing up on the sequencing games, mostly due to wasting too much time on them. I know once I get better at the sequencing games that I will be able to get a perfect logic games section on the exam, which might be what saves my score due to a terrible reading comprehension score.

I really appreciate the reading comprehension tips! I am taking two practice tests tomorrow before my tuesday lsat session and will try this out

I'm in a similar situation being stuck at 149 with like 3 150s sprinkled in. I'm guessing cuz I only study around 3 hours a day and other ppl study like 5-6 a day. IDK 4 sure. Also I'm not 100% with the fundamental/core curriculum. (Diagramming mistakes, scope, etc.) I've done majority untimed study.

I just do not have the ability to study for more than 4 hours a day, like 4 days a week. I have to work part-time and I have a small business that I run on the side. I am just hoping for that high 150s for the January session. I am doing really well on logic games. Reading comprehension is my worst section. It is what brings my scores down a lot.
