To anyone who paid for score preview, finished the LSAT writing and took the rest of the exam: how soon after were you able to see your score? Was it sent via e-mail or did it show up at the end of the test?

Hey! Unfortunately the score preview does not let you see your score before the release date (September 18th) -- hope this helps!

Just took the test for the first time. LR was straighforward, nothing crazy with games (3/4 out of 5 difficulty) but RC WAS HARD. Usually my best section so I'm a little bummed...hoping for the best.

To anyone taking this test or a future test for the first time -- CONFIDENCE IS YOUR BEST FRIEND. Study hard, focus during the test, and be confident you will apply your skills on the test itself.

All love (3(/p)

Congrats on your INCREDIBLE score -- be proud! Take some time off the LSAT. If you're gonna study, do easy problem sets just to keep your brain wired. Eat healthy, get some rest, listen to some hype up music or whatever makes you happy.

Just make sure you are EXCITED for test day -- enjoy yourself for now and you're gonna kill it!

I deal with similar crashing, and often get nervous near the end because there's so many hard questions back-to-back.

My mental strategy is to treat each section as an opportunity to WIN points. You can WIN as many points in the beginning of the section -- be confident in those questions. On average you spend more time per question at the end. Anticipate that and take your time scoping out the right answer. If you run out of time, try some practice drills with only difficult questions (sprinkle in some very easy ones to relax your brain) and exercise yourself to get used to seeing as many difficult questions as possible.

You will do GREAT!

Flex Difficulty

For those of you who have taken the FLEX, how difficult is it compared to previous exams? I know in recent years there have been more Misc LG that are hard, and it seems that the LR are becoming more tricky.

Is that trend the same for FLEX -- any advice on how it was structured/content?

Peace and love (3(/p)

Hi -- I have the same troubles! I get super nervous on the actual test and really doubt almost every answer. What I realized is that 90% of the time, it's just test nerves.

Best thing I could say is TRUST YOUR GUT! Most of the times you will end up getting it right, and that doubt in your head is just your critical thinking skills doubting everything (which the LSAT wants you to do). If you can push past that, trust your instincts, and not get caught up on every minute detail, you will be great!

The way I see it, you might miss a couple on LR, and that's inevitable. If you accept that and have confidence in your skills, you'll feel much better on the full exam. Best of luck :D

The same thing happened with me (also taking August FLEX) -- my advice:

-Slow down during Blind Review. Don't get freaked out if they aren't cookie cutter -- really just try and figure out what they're asking

Be confident. I think I flagged like 14/26 for review, turns out almost every time my intuition got it right the first time around. You've probably been studying for a long time and I'm sure you know what you're doing.

Remember that their wording is just a distraction. At the end of a day, it's just a question and you've done hundreds of them already. Break it down to its simplest form and trust your gut!

YOU GOT THIS!

so dejected i can't believe it

ive been studying since february as a full-time undergrad and was consistently around the high 160s-low 170s for tests. just got my score and it's a 162.

i don't know what went wrong? i know the score itself is fine, but it is so far off my expectations. i don't know where to go from here. i've been so over this test ever since i took it in august -- how do i get back to studying?

Studying after time off - August 2020

I'm currently an undergrad student and I've been studying for the LSAT very seriously since Feb 2020. I've done the CC and have been practice testing since June. I've taken about a month off from studying because I had a full-time internship that took up my whole day. I'm signed up for the August LSAT and was wondering if anyone had advice on how to quickly get back in the groove of things?

For context: Scoring in low 170s and want to be around that range for test day -- thanks!
