Hey all - I just got my October flex score and am feeling pretty discouraged. I scored a 157 and my best PTs were in the mid-160s (scores I would be very content with). It's frustrating because after the exam I felt really confident and felt like I had a great test day and the exam was easier, but my score ended up not reflecting that. I've been studying 20-30 hours a week for 9 months and am really burnt out / tired of studying for this exam. I want to apply this cycle and feel kind of meh about going to a mid-range law school. My GPA is also just kind of alright (3.6 from Berkeley) and my soft factors are strong (Teach for America, good letters of rec, a PS I feel confident about). Does anyone have any thoughts/advice on how to navigate? I'm super satisfied going to a not-top 20 school but a little above that like a GW, Notre Dame, or Boston College, but now I feel like I don't even have much of a shot at those. Thoughts??? Thanks everyone.

Hi all, I think I'm running into a consistent problem. I think I am reading TOO MUCH into the question / words used in attempt to read the questions with a "critical eye." My take was, "wrong" ≠ "should not play," or in other words, one should not play a joke, but not necessarily because it is wrong. Can someone help me resolve this mental pretzel?? I eliminated C because I was thinking the answer needed to include where the joke "should not have been played" explicitly, which COULD be different from a joke being like morally "wrong."

I too am looking for a tutor, ~-9/10 as well for October so if there is someone else responding to this post, I also am in need!
Can someone further explain why D is wrong?

@ yes!! not by 10 points but def below average, and I left the exam feeling so confident!!
Can you clarify the "no electronics" rule? I was going to take the test in a room that has monitors on the desk and a TV. Is this not allowed, even if they are off?
Everyone's in the same boat. I think it was an error
Same thing and the entire phone line is busy, everyone must be calling. I hope they just release it because this was a terrible fake-out
yes! it first said there was a hold and now that hold message is gone. now just no score shown
Hi! I'm in Chicago but I have the same goals and would love to join the group virtually!
Answer choice D makes sense but I do not understand the difference between D and C. Are they not saying the same thing? Doesn't salt increase chances of food poisoning by not letting food cook thoroughly?
I was stuck between B and C and don't see why B is wrong. Doesn't it support the claim that it IS better to dump in a scarcely populated area?
Does anyone have an info on when/how we pick our test time for the Oct 3 flex test?? Trying to get on in asap so I can get my top priority for test time.
I ended up eliminating all of the answer choices and am a bit confused why answer choice is D. Is it because the answer choice only mentions sentencing and not arrested + convicted as the stimulus does?
Interested!!!
with B I wonder then why residents would still be asked to cut back on AC use if most of the blackouts from ACs are from businesses and factories?
I was SO thrown off when I was taking my PT but when reviewing it, as soon as I treated it like a depth logic game, it became super quick and easy. You just use it as NFS has to be above D, and W has to be above E. Then you have a bit of a web you can create when they begin overlapping
A. Doesn't address the flaw. It DOES ignore this, technically, so it's correct verbage etc.
B. Okay, it's absence has not always led to failure based on our evidence. Failure has occurred when it has been absent, but that is not the same thing as what B is saying.
C. The sources are not really discussed or shown to be BIASED
D. Required = necessary condition. Yes, it infers that virtue & concern are NECESSARY to success just because it has occurred ("been associated with") DURING failure.
E. I mean no
Wow, I think I am approaching LR questions with TOO much skepticism and actively trying not to draw ANY assumptions, but E as the answer choice does rest on the assumption that YES, flower color IS passed genetically from domesticated radishes to wild radishes. I was looking for a connection that addressed that domesticated radishes are passing its color to the weeds but realizing that this STILL does not draw a connection between this phenomenon and the passing of pesticide resistance phenomenon. Seem on point? I'm realizing that yes in LR questions we do need to just swallow some assumptions and not fixate too much on all the gaps, which seems a bit counterintuitive when our task is to attack assumptions. I'm having a hard time balancing this. Any advice?

I thought "normal appearing" had nothing to do with position and more to do with simply looking like an insect biologically...
Thank you everyone! This is all very reassuring. I am going to try and apply with the 157 just in case, since I'm not caught up in the T-14 necessity. If I'm unhappy with the schools I get into, I am going to take the exam again in the spring and try again next cycle. Good luck everyone!!
