LR-RC-LG-RC. Reeeeaaaallly curious what the curve is gonna look like for this one.
@meaganwilliams948023, this is from Leiter himself:

Also discussed in the above interview is the oft-ignored point that, to the extent that rankings are useful, rank by AOS is a far more meaningful consideration for your career path than is overall US News rankings. In this respect, relying on US News rankings to make your decision can do more harm than good.
Hi @andrewestes0795812, what makes you say Jan 6th, specifically? Or, are you saying the 6th is your estimate based off prior Flex scheduling?
@juliet7sage, any word yet when the May 2020 LSAT will be available on 7Sage? Or perhaps a rough estimate?
Thank you in advance.
Bumping this. Very good questions @lucykelly459 and others.
Being able to communicate with proctors prior to the start of our exam would seem eliminate most of the problems previous Flex takers have reported. And avoid the distracting, unnecessary anxiety of not knowing what the hell to expect during our take.
Anyone else know if it's possible to communicate prior to the start of our exam?
So cool that you're offering this.. looking forward!
Respectable decision by a respectable company. 7Sage is the jam!

@sirajuddinsyed192 @laurenassayag484 @lbla041419, thanks for your detailed replies!
What a boss, congrats!
Thanks @8835 and @pfryfogle1735 for your comments!
@dring80418, at least for the joint programs that I'm aware of, first-year law students in joint programs take only law courses, since all 1Ls take the same courses. So while you're right to care about class rank, doing well as a 1L should have nothing to do with being in a joint program.
Hi all,
Anyone know if the LSAT-India PTs are similar in flavor, level of difficulty, etc., to the US-based LSAC PTs? Please humor my ignorance. I know nothing about these. All thoughts are welcome.

@shannonrandhawa428, actually, joint JD/MDs aren't terribly uncommon at all. A friend of mine is doing one right now, too, but she's planning on going into academia. I'm applying to joint JD/PhD programs in philosophy this cycle, also to go into academia. (Aside: if money is any consideration in your career choice, note that med school profs are some of the highest paid profs in the US, but, of course, whether one should ever do such a thing is an entirely different discussion, and typically profs aren't exactly in it for the money, given how little they tend to make for their level of education.)
Outside of academia, folks with JD/MDs tend to practice in just one of their fields. But, of course, JD/MDs bring something to the table that their colleagues never could; depending on your specialty, you could be at a considerable advantage. There's no question over the benefits. While it sounds trite to say out loud, it really comes down to whether you really, really, I mean really, like school. MD programs, by themselves, can be soul-robbing, not to mention tacking on JD coursework. Joint programs do shave some time off, though, due to overlapping credits; it usually only takes about six years to complete both degrees. Moreover, you get a lot of freedom in switching back and forth, getting perhaps a much-needed break from either.
I'd consider speaking with the program coordinators at some of the schools you're interested in. They've been really helpful with me. Best of luck!
@sirajuddinsyed192, oh nice, thanks for this!
@buytrafficexpress251, thanks!
@avelamb111553 and @avelamb111553, thanks for your thoughts!
Lolo1996 and others are right. It's remarkable how little most people (myself included) remember from PTs taken long ago, and how helpful those retakes can be despite remembering.
Hi all,
A couple questions about the digital test:
(1) I've noticed that 7Sage's digital PTs differ slightly from the three digital PTs that LSAC has made available. Most notably is the option to collapse answer choices on 7Sage's PTs, an option not available on LSAC's PTs.
An LSAC representative told me that the format of the digital PTs that LSAC has made public is exactly like what we can expect to see on the test. I was hoping to confirm that here.
(2) Does there seem to be any consensus regarding the whole stylus-vs.-fingers question for ease of navigating the test? I’m not interested for highlighting or for using any other features, but rather just for scrolling RC passages and selecting answer choices.
Thanks for any thoughts, folks!
This MBT is very uncharacteristic of the LSAT, at least in my experience: the lsat writers are presenting a statement that "no one disagrees" as a statement of fact (i.e., that it's indeed true that adults raised under traditional practices are as confident as adults not so raised).
I can't recall another instance of this ever appearing on the lsat. Can anyone else?

No need to worry about changing to pens. Note the following from the LSAC FAQ page:
"Will test takers be able to use physical scratch paper for making notes? What about pencils?
Yes! LSAC will provide scratch paper and a pen for test takers to use during the test. Digital LSAT test takers will also be permitted to use their own pencil and eraser for making notes. We will provide a stylus that can be used to underline and highlight text on the tablet."

@jessicakeedi500 Dave Killoran said on Twitter that he'll give his curve predictions on Thursday. Now we wait... lol
