Are you sure? The flex tests showed up on lawhub prior to taking the test.

It's not perfectly clear, but it is just a general rule that if you've taken the test 3 times or less they won't care about some lower scores. but if you've taken it 5 times, they will be more inclined towards averaging your scores, especially if you scored lower on the last or second last time.

don't cancel: schools will take your highest score if you've only taken the exam 3 times or less.

me! let's get to it!

@ccallander205772 go and get takeout from your favorite restaurant, get a dessert, and watch a movie

I see a lot of people saying that LR felt really weird. While I agree that they have been changing how they approach wording the questions, the content and logic is still largely the same. You have to focus on premise/conclusion distinction and don't get thrown off by their referential phrasing. Take your time and do it slowly if you have to and skip like 2-3 questions if necessary. Sometimes nerves can get to you under test pressure. For this same reason, I did one whole LR section from the 80s the day of the test before the actual test to be in good practice and in my practice I got 19/26. I felt that prepared me for the LR section and I was able to approach it much more surgically rather than getting thrown off/confused by the test writers antics.

@avitalshamtoub101472 not very hard at all. Standard type of games we see in the prep tests. Nothing new. I did mess up on the 2nd game which cost me time, ended up having to guess one and then I didn't have time to finish the 4th game because of that. However, I remembered the game after I finished the test and I knew that it was an easy solve, it was just based on a key inference that wasn't overly difficult to spot but unfortunately I ran out of time.

@jpoznan0587375 To get better, you have to do the grunt work. Read lots of passages, blind review them all one at a time and figure out what was right and why and what was wrong and why. Watch JY's videos. You have to take your time and you will slowly improve on RC. Everytime you read, try to take away MP, author attitude, structure, purpose.

@ongliwen28889 I thought the may 2020 was harder

LR (26) RC LG

LR seemed standard, not overly difficult.

RC was tough, lots of questions in the last two passages and they were difficult. I got interrupted in the middle of a passage by the proctor because she couldn't see my head on webcam since I was close reading. That completely disrupted my flow so I started the paragraph again and ended up spending 5:30 just reading the first passage!

LG first game was simple, second game I had trouble making some inferences so I ended up guessing on one question and I lost some time. 3rd game I was able to do even though it was harder than the second one. I didn't have time to finish the 4th game and ended up guessing on 3 questions.

Banking on my LR section and my guesses being correct.

#help why isn't without translated into a conditional statement?

@kilgoretrout @helmholtz99 "Later, (19th century onward) glass was drawn into sheets by pulling it from the melt on a rod..." I think JY was referring to before 19th century incorrectly in the video. It's the right answer but not because of JY's reason.

@jmarmaduke96714 Awesome, thanks for the help. Btw I also found those summaries to compare with mine and its definitely helpful. Thanks a lot for all your help!

Hi @jmarmaduke96714 Quick question. Before you started highlighting liberally like you mention in your post, did you write down your low res summaries on a piece of paper when taking preptests under timed conditions or were you able to just keep it all in your head because of the exercises you were doing under untimed conditions?

@jmarmaduke96714 Thanks for that. I'll be checking those outlines out to test mine against those.

Hello @jmarmaduke96714 excellent post and I really appreciate your help with RC. I was wondering how one can check to see if their RC low res and high res summaries are accurate? Thanks!

Would love to get some help!

no way, 6 minutes seems way too long to read the passage. How would one finish 4 passages and answer all the questions? Some of the target times of RC passages say 10 minutes.

Is the target time just for reading the paragraph or is it for reading the paragraph and answering all the questions? Thanks.

@serenasajan963 Read every sentence carefully. Examine every word/phrase and make sure you fully understood it before moving on to the next one. It takes some practice, you may take some time to improve but the diligent effort will definitely bring your mental clarity/understanding to a higher level.

Would love help if at all available after the souls before me :)

Two questions:

1)Everyone taking the LSAT in August will be automatically registered for LSAT flex? I ask because when I registered for the LSAT August date the option only gave me a "Houston Test Center" option.

2) Are there 3 scored sections and 1 experimental section for LSAT flex? Or is it just 3 scored sections?

Thanks!
