November or January LSAT date?

Hello.

I have just received my scores from the September LSAT and received a 154. I was hoping for a 160, or even a 158-159. I wish to apply to Canadian Law Schools (as I am Canadian woop) and the general average LSAT score they accept is 160. My PT scores have been fluctuating between mid 150s to low 160s. Most of them being high 150s.

So, I definitely want to re-take the LSAT. I am currently unsure if I should register in November or January and see pros and cons to both.

Currently I am a 4th year student in my undergraduate degree. So during November I would be knees deep in midterm season. I feel I would maybe have less time to study, and given the already sort of tight constraints, perhaps I would not be able to pull my score to where I want it to be in time? Meanwhile taking the LSAT in January would allow me more time to study for sure, especially with Winter break and only just starting new classes.

On the flip side though, I know the law schools in Canada have a sort of rolling admission policy. So, writing later could put me at a disadvantage in that regard?

So, I am just wondering which LSAT date do you think it's best for me to write? Is it realistic to expect improvement for the November one, or should I go with January?

Only complete 3/4 RC Passages

So, for RC I seem to have a common issue on my PTs. I always seem to run out of time. I finish 3 passages and the questions (usually only skipping one or two) but never the last one. On all of the three passages I get all of the correct answers minus the ones I skip and guess on. When I BR, I then am able to correctly answer all of the questions for the passage I missed.

Just wondering if perhaps I am taking too long to read/comprehend the passage? Or am I spending too long on certain questions? Also just looking for some RC tips in general.

For those who have taken it--did the highlighting/underline tool work well for you?

It is exactly the same format as the LSAT prep tests on law hub (literally used law hub to do the flex)! I'd recommend doing some of those if you have not already. I had no issues with the highlight feature

@ said:

Does anyone know if we are allowed to use Command+F (Find) during the test? I've heard other test takers say the proctors are not disabling it but I haven't seen LSAC comment on it directly.

I did use control f for one RC passage

@ said:

Also looking for an answer about whether we can take the Writing tomorrow as part of this Flex test.

Hmmm. I am not exactly sure of this, but for me I already had a writing sample online. There certainly was not an option to do the writing. Once you finished the third section, you were basically booted out of the test on law hub and told to shred your scrap paper by the proctor

LSAT · Can you use the Control-F search function during the flex?

I actually wrote the LSAT flex today! You definitely can use it...I used it for one RC passage

@-xo thank you for sharing! I'm taking the test on tuesday, does anyone know if they're going to have a different test for that day or will it be the same? if it's the same, will it be in the same order?

I believe the tests will likely be different. Just from looking at the LSAT Reddit, it appears as different people had different tests today (some said they had a very hard jazz RC which I definitely did not have).

Just finished. Eeek. My brain is jello. Order was LR-RC-LG

I found the LR pretty difficult :( Cannot remember any of the questions off the top of my head lmao.

RC was pretty average. Had a passage about planes flying through volcanic plumes?? And something about women's rights in regards to marriage

My LG seemed fairly standard. One was about taking classes in two terms. Another was about security levels.

I had RC, LR, RC, LG and LR.

LR both seemed quite easy. In response to @ I remember the Venus gases being one of the LR.

One of the RC was quite easy and the other difficult. My memory is terrible but from the sounds of other people's posts it sounds like harder one was the real one /: ugh. I was so excited about that one too.
