Law School Application Essays

Hi All!

I am preparing my application materials for the upcoming cycle including various essays (personal statement, etc.). I noticed that there is a compiled list on 7Sage of the required/optional application materials for schools. However, for some schools there are optional essay topics listed that aren't listed on the schools' websites (ex: Cornell). I was wondering if that means that there are questions that we only have access to after the application cycle begins.

Thanks in advance!

Also this is the link to the application components site (https://classic.7sage.com/admissions/lesson/application-requirements-for-top-schools/#Harvard%20University)

I took the May Flex and had a lot of trouble with the highlighter feature. It was extremely clunky and hard to use but maybe they improved it since then. I'm taking it again today and have been practicing not using the highlighter for that exact reason though. IMO don't use it if you haven't practiced using it.

Thanks for responding! I wasn't sure if it would be more reliable because it is being administered on LawHub, but I'll try to use it as little as possible if I need to. Best of luck on the test!!!

Highlighting on the Flex

I'm currently scheduled to take the Flex on Tuesday and had a question about the highlight function. I've been practicing reading comp passages without highlighting after reading stories about what a disaster it is to use on the digital LSAT. However, I tried using the highlighter on one of the practice exams posted on LawHub and it seems to be working fine (using Chrome on a Mac). Has anyone tried using the feature on the actual Flex and know how reliable it is/whether I should attempt to use it when I take the test?

Thanks in advance!!

General · Tips for LSAT Flex

I've been using this technique for calculating my approximate Flex score when I take PTs:

"Add up your raw score from the Reading Comprehension section, the Logic Games section, and your lower-scoring Logical Reasoning section. Multiply that number by 1.33. Use the new total as a raw score and convert to a scaled score according to that test’s score conversion chart. Then, do the same thing with your higher-scoring Logical Reasoning section. The two scaled scores will represent a range of what you might have scored on that test if it had been administered as an LSAT-Flex." (Found on: https://www.manhattanprep.com/lsat/blog/flex/)

I've found it to be a pretty reliable way of seeing what my score would be for a Flex test. The range is always very close to my four section test score. You could also check this out and just input either of your LR scores to get an idea of what range your score would fall in: https://blog.blueprintprep.com/lsat/calculate-your-lsat-flex-score/

Hope this helps!
