Hi there! I am also taking the LSAT for the first time (and hopefully last) in June and would love to be added. My practice test scores have been quite inconsistent, ranging from 162 - 172.

PrepTest 87 (June 2019) - Help!

Hi everyone!

I am going to be taking the LSAT-Flex for the first time in June, and am hoping to only have to write it this one time. Accordingly, I have been trying to do as much studying and reviewing as possible between now and then. My average score has been fluctuating quite a bit, ranging from 160 - 170.

I recently completed PrepTest 87 (June 2019) and finished with a score of 164. However, I am having difficult understanding some of the questions I got wrong. I have listened to some explanation videos, but am failing to see why the multiple choice answer I chose is not "more right" than the correct answer.

If anyone could explain any of the following questions, I would really appreciate it (specifically, why the answer I chose is incorrect).

S1 - RC: #3, 11, 13, 14, 24.

S2 - LR: 14, 17, 18, 19, 24, 26.

Thank you!

Today was my first lsat and I feel like I blacked out. I have no recollection of the test. I think I must have done it on auto-pilot. No idea how I did. Is this normal?? Such a weird experience. Like that feeling when you’ve been driving a while and suddenly you realize you’ve been zoned out the whole time but somehow you’ve been driving fine and end up at your destination. I’ve taken a ton of PT’s and never have complete amnesia after the test. Reading some of the other comments here is the only way some memory of the test is coming back to me. Can’t tell if this is a bad sign! Anyway, praying I don’t have to sit for another test!

I am actually so relieved to hear you say this because I had the same experience!! I cannot remember a single moment of my test!! When I got to see a copy of my writing sample - I could not even recall writing it!! I have written so many preptests before and I don't know if this means I was just super concentrated or if I did really poorly.

Had RC-LR-LG. Every section felt middle of the road in terms of difficulty, and the test as a whole felt average relative to PTs in the 70-80s, or potentially even a little bit easier. I found LR in particular to be a bit easier than normal, as I had 4 mins at the end to review my answers, whereas I usually finish right on time or with a minute to spare. I had the RC with insects and predator and preys, along with the passage about Inuits and territories. RC was my weakest section in my previous flex attempts, but I made a concerted effort this time to really focus on it, and I eventually got my RC performance about equal with my LR performance on PTs. I think my hard work paid off because in contrast to my previous attempts in which I felt like RC was noticeably challenging, this particular RC section did not feel notably difficult, tho I wouldn’t say it was easy either. Right about average to any RC section you’d see in the PT80s.

I feel most confident about this exam compared to my previous attempts. On my prior attempts there’d always be at least one section where I’d be scrambling for time at the end, but this time I finished with time left for each section. I’m hoping to score right along with my most recent PT averages, where I scored between the ranges of 172-174.

I took it on Saturday and had the same LG and RC sections it sounds like. The order I got was RC - LR - LG, which I think probably helped me confidence since I find RC to be my strongest section at this point.

RC was

Britain being pro-war before WWI and then a pacifist

the role of courts in interpreting the law

the two authors discussing aquatic keystone predators

I had a brutal time trying to remember the third passage, I vaguely came up with Canadian native tribes? ~you jogged my memory though; I had the territories passage as well.

I thought this was a pretty easy RC section - with the exception of the legal passage, that one was super dense to me.

The LR questions that I remember were

family vacation and choosing which motel to stay in after a bad experience

vampire stories and rabies

pilots and cancer

using folk remedies/plants to make medicine

ankle injuries and the type of shoe worn

ivy growing on buildings

I found this to be a fairly easy LR section. I had a little over 4 minutes left over at the end to go back and review, which was so nice.

LG was

the first one is the one I have the most trouble remembering - ordering of student seating?

upper and lower hall

economics classes & prerequisites (this one was just plain RUDE)

the order of events with the burglary in the museum, noises, etc

I'm already signed up for August - hoping/planning on that being my second (and last!) go at the beast. I know I can improve on my June score. God, waiting for the results in brutal.

I had a really wonderful proctor experience, no waiting, no weirdness, no interruptions. I was asked to move my desk a few inches so the proctor could see the door behind me, but it was honestly such a small change, didn't throw me off at all. I was a little apprehensive coming in because I saw other folks post about proctors telling them not to mouth the words and I read aloud A LOT when I practice, thankfully I didn't hear anything about my mouthing or whisper-reading.

Wish everyone the absolute best!

Oh my goodness! I have not been able to recall A SINGLE topic from my entire LSAT, and this post slightly jogged my memory. Some of the LG topics you mentioned seem familiar to me! I have absolutely no clue how I may have scored and it is really bothering me:(

Hi everyone!

For those of you that had 2 LR sections: what were your RC topics?

For those of you who had two RCs (I did too): do you think you did significantly worse on the second?

I just finished! I had two RCs. One of them went really well and one of them I was really struggling so hoping that one was experimental :(

Me too! The second one was quite hard for me. @ said:

Hey y'all! Just finished and had 2 RCs as well! LG-RC-LR-RC

LG seemed OK, LR seemed standard too. Felt 2nd RC was harder than the first.

1st RC: Winter's case/Native Americans + Don Quixote + Red light shift + GDP

2nd RC: Sentence reduction + Krauss/Universe from Nothing + Some photographer & apertures + Nigerian languages

Memory's shot for the other passage topics. Will addend if I can think of them! Added more passage topics, per discussion below! :)

Seems I had the same one! The first RC was so much easier:(

How do you feel about it. How was the over all test easy medium or hard.

Honestly, I have absoubtley no idea! The entire LSAT is completley blacked out in my memory (I cannot recall the subject of a single game or passage I had). When I received a copy of my LSAT writing today, I did not even recognize it! Overall, I do not feel very confident in regards to my score. I had to guess a lot more questions than I normally do - I think I was too stressed to function at my optimal level. Sadly, I expect I will be retaking it.

June LSAT Flex 2021

I just the LSAT Flex for the first time, and I was really hoping my first write would go so well... it did not. There were several questions I did not have time to reach (which never happens) and now I have no clue what to expect as a score. Does anyone have any words or wisdom or comforting advice? I do not want to think about how I may have scored WAY below my average for the next three weeks.

Confirm action

Are you sure?
