Hey all- I took the writing sample the day before scores were released last time and still got my score. I don’t recommend that I’m just saying. The “deadline” is before scores are released otherwise you won’t get yours.

Have a calm space for your writing sample. The pressure won’t be as on like on the test, but it will still be timed and technically proctored.

You can say whatever you want. They give you an argument and you get to pick both sides. It can be as long as you want. I really wouldn’t sweat it. Just get it done eventually. I waited until after because I don’t need to tack on more crap in my life but don’t wait too long or you’ll get out of the LSAT groove.

@ I tried to make my screen bigger in order to do that, but it didn't work. The margins wouldn't fill the screen and then I couldnt see the proctor chat box which really screwed things up. Ended up sucking it up and just using screen as it appears on Lawhub.

So even though I love the analytics on this site, closer to test day, I PT on Lawhub and transfer my answers over onto here via conversion.

So...you COULD wait. But...based on what they've been saying, they aren't planning on switching back anytime soon.

And all I know is 1. I'm not basing putting off Law School so I can get a better break experience and 2. if you wait too long, you may have to take an LGless test, which I would not look forward to personally because it's my only guaranteed -0 section.

But I mean, maybe that's just me. All I know is..there's no guarantee that's coming back.

In games, it will always save you time to make proper inferences before you begin as opposed to only writing down the rules. Knowing how to correctly inference (and when to stop inferencing) is crucial to answering quickly.

In LR (and RC) knowing IMMEDIATELY what each question stem is SPECIFICALLY ASKING YOU TO DO will save you a lot of time-because you'll know what to look for in the stimulus AND the answer choices.

Also, understanding key words that allude to premise/conclusion, are crucial. Identifying exactly what's going on just by seeing certain words helps things go by a lot faster.

And also, plenty of practice.

I also learned that, ironically, stopping and taking maybe 30 seconds to breathe every so often and regain your sense of composure, believe it or not- saves you time in the long run. The better your brain can move, the faster you don't realize you're going.

Also in NYC and also same. kamelbrooklyn@.com

Do you use lawhub? I can tell you the LSAT Flex looks 100% the same as taking a PT on lawhub. Same screen. Same everything. It's essentially just like taking a test on Lawhub. Truly.

So once we hit "save" does that mean it's submitted? What if we did it after the time expired? (Like, 15 seconds after, since I can't see the timer on the screen while I write). I don't want my work to not count after all this time!

If you'd like you can PM me, but I'm going to comment here because I feel like it may be useful for others to know too! I took the LSAT flex both paper and digitally and I can absolutely answer any/all questions.

Can you give examples of other LR questions that DO employ this false pos/false neg thing, but in a relevant way?

@ the no talking thing is very real. Last time, they caught me talking my way through LR and told me not to- but I have it in an accommodation that I'm allowed to speak outloud to myself, so I told them to buzz off and read the accommodations and they quickly shut up. This time, I had no problems because the people knew how to do their jobs. But obviously, if I didnt have that accommodation, I would have had to be quiet.

Did anybody here take the August exam? How do you think it compared in difficulty most especially in relation to RC?

How hard was RC in general?

You have to stop, take a breath, and remember that this is the LSAT. There is a finite amount of game types. There is a definite way to graph it, and make sense of it in your head. If you're having trouble charting it out, look at some of the answer choices, and how theyre ordered. It's okay to regraph, or start over.

If a game perplexes you immediately, do the other games first. Get your guaranteed points in before you spend all your time on the riskier ones. And practice the "misc" games. Those are the games that don't have a surefire method and those are the ones people consider hard. What always seems impossible to me, seems rather possible after I stop and take a few breaths and think about it.
