Hi guys, I'm just a regular, kind of fresh college graduate (only been several months since I graduated, but if you don't count that as fresh, it'd do nothing but making me sad...) looking for some study buddies who are willing to work with me on serious LSAT prepping.

After having studied by myself for almost 7 months in total (been on and off, though) and recently started getting some help from a private academy in Seoul, Korea out of desperation, I feel confident that my fundamentals are pretty good given that I consistently get very high 160s and low 170s from each BR of the recent PTs I'd finished.

But, on timed runs, I suck too bad and still make an unbearable amount of mistakes in LR and RC.

If you'd been on with your prepping seriously for a decent amount of time, you know very well how terrifying it is to be bad at this test and getting scores that you don't like to see over and over again.

I want to get out of that crap.

And I think it'd be great if there was someone who I could work with to talk about some things I've never really had any chance to share with anyone around me (as a Korean living in non-Seoul area and surrounded by only Korean-speaking people) and see the silver lining together along the way.

So, if you're interested in making a new friend to study with and open to sharing your own feelings and thoughts about this monstrous test with me, I'd be delighted to meet and make our prepping journey more fun and sweeter with you as we run towards our respective goals.

Incidentally, if you're also interested in learning the Korean language, I'd say it's not a bad bet to give a try on studying with me (I'd done some LA work back in college in an Intermediate-Advanced Korean course with a handful of only English-speaking American students. So, who knows. By the end of your LSAT studies, you might become proficient in another real-life language as well!)

I'll leave my email address below, so please shoot me a kindly email if you think this could be a good opportunity for yourself as well.

Thanks.

After having chatted with my LSAT coach, who has 15+ years of experience in coaching students ever since she got her 1st over-170 score (173) some decade ago on PT 40 something and got a 179 very early on in her career, I suspect it'll last at least during this year's cycle, meaning we'd likely do LSAT flex until the next cycle begins in June 2021. So, I'd say any pre-June 2021 tests will very likely be administered in the flex format. The reason being is that, according to what she told me, the LSAC wants to be consistent as best as it can and it wouldn't risk being otherwise unless they come to have some gross interest in not administering the LSAT flex. And given the U.S. and North America in general are in the Covid crisis at the moment, there seems to be almost no reason or interest the LSAC might have in making transition to the original format, which requires a number of proctors and venues to host lots of test takers. In addition, previously in any given yearly cycle, the tests belonging to the same cycle have been, to some extent, expected to be consistent in terms of the level of difficulty, question formats, etc., though there were always some curveballs and experimental sections in those tests. If we took that account to our advantage, I guess it's somewhat fair to say that the LSAC wouldn't change the flex format all of a sudden at the midpoint of the cycle. That being said, it seems to me that it's unlikely that they will apply the original format to the remaining tests of this cycle. At bottom, this is all presumption and no one really knows other than the LSAC people which type of test format they'll be using for the remainder, but as a future test taker myself, I'm currently doing my prep with the flex format. But it's always safer to have a backup plan as you very well know. So, I recommend trying both and don't stress too much about it until you sign up for a test. As long as you've got a rock solid fundamental basis and feeling positive with your trajectory, it sure will work out just fine. Hope this helps.
