I am not doing well myself for reading comp, so I am not sure if there's any value for my feedback. However, I think that when we encounter really tough passages on the LSAT, we need to simplify things as much as possible and to do so by thinking in an abstract way. At the core of any argument or description is something like "Thing A does B" or "Thing X is caused by Y." Something like that where we don't necessarily understand what is going on, but we have some sort of a map. And then using this abstract structure to understand as much as possible from the entire passage.

May 2020 Sample Test

Does anyone know when 7Sage will have the new May 2020 Preptest with explanations? Any possibility it could be up before the November exam?

@ Hey! In case you didn't know, the FLEX will be all the way through April.

I definitely think you are an under-represented minority

@ Hey, LR answer explanations 1-16 are not there. However, if you go to 180pedia, you can find links that takes you to forums that discuss these answer explanations. Usually they are either the Manhattan Forums or Powerscore forums. In general, they are pretty helpful and useful, sometimes even along with J.Y's explanations! The person who created 180pedia really did good job gathering and organizing those links to make it very convenient.

@ Hey! I emailed LSAC and explained to them my situation. Since I wanted to use my coupon to reschedule for October, they did that for me pretty quickly! It only took them a day to respond and fix the issue.

Because the stimulus only provides SOME statements, the AC for an inference question has to include a weak statement (like one that would use "some" or "many"). This can help us quickly eliminate all but B & D. The reason that D is wrong is because the stimulus doesn't suggest or say that they "only" give a certain explanation. In fact, it kind of shows that they don't.

@ Hey, just to clarify, I have no idea if January will be Flex. I am just sharing my thoughts about it, but I have no clue. I don't want to mislead you at all!!

I would say it is likely that it will be Flex. I honestly feel that the fair thing to do is to make this entire cycle Flex so that everyone is on equal footing. I don't think it would be fair for applicants to have to take the original 5-section exam in the spring while applying in the same cycle. The Flex is shorter and requires less stamina.

But of course, many people have struggled with taking the test online for various reasons so hopefully they can keep the 3-section format and maybe have an in-person option.

August Opt-out Question

I opted out of the August exam, but my LSAC account still says that I am registered for it. I have a message on my account confirming that I opted out for August and that I am awaiting a coupon to use for a future exam. The message says that I should get an email within a couple of days, but it has been weeks and I haven't received anything. I wanted to check here first before I call/email LSAC.

For anyone who's in the same boat, did you get your coupon already? Does your LSAC account still says that you're registered for August?

Confirm action

Are you sure?
