Hi so I’ve been practicing for the LSAT going on my third serious try and unfortunately the previous takes were both sat for during the pandemic which in turn is the LSAT-Flex exam. After several Prep-Tests in simulated Flex mode I’ve come to notice a recurring pattern of scoring 144-146 average- despite my better 151 performance on the full length exam. My theory at least to my premonition at best is that with the removed additional Logical Reasoning Section (the section I perform best on), could it be the case that the points accumulated are not being attributed to my overall Flex score? In other words how well of a theory is it that the curved score I am receiving is reflective of my “actual LSAT performance” granted I don’t under perform. Just a question I’d like to discuss because it is really been deteriorating my confidence walking into what will be my FOURTH LSAT take. My first score being in the low 131s (full LSAT without adequate prep), then 139 then 141 (both flexs) , when as described previously my practice score on the full length exam is 151-154 average. Please help-as I’m reaching the end of my rope.

Hi Fellow 7sagers,

So I understand that while a few gifted few of us score within the 99-90th percentile-however it has come to my realization that at the very least the LSAT may as well be a gamble of an exam.

Case and point with the LSAT logic games section there is, and practically speaking so; a strategy of “skipping the Substitution question”- which at least seems to me to be a bit oddly peculiar when compared with other standardized exam formats. That is to say, after all there no other exam other than the LSAT has such a mechanic in place. Mind you I understand that as a future lawyer most of our work will consist of attention to detail, problem solving and lots of reading-however at least technically speaking the LSAT exam is at best a gamble-more particularly the Logic Games section. All this said, I am proud to announce that I have completely MASTERED the substitution question type granted my utilization of test prep materials such as Powerscore and 7sage-however I still find it to be a problematic case that the “skip this question due to time concerns” phenomena occurs-granted the livi tied time feature of the exam. Now bear with me I am intelligible enough to understand what rupees of arguments are bickering and at the very best complaining but I am convinced that I have hit a significant concern granted the evidence that most substitution questions warrant a person scoring in the high 80-90th percentile considering the performance curve. Therefore my question as a matter of this circumstance stands as-would anyone feel inclined to agreeing that the LSAT ought to seek a reformatting in the coming future? Perhaps an exam that consisted of just the Reading Comprehension Section and Logical Reasoning Section (2 major components of being a successful lawyer) would suffice as a legitimate test for law school admission. Any thoughts. Thanks.
