I feel your pain, OP! I also had a bad experience with ProctorU and scored much lower than I have on any of my PTs! Doing my best to shake it off and stay focused on June. Hopefully years from now, this moment will just be a blip on the radar.

Don't give up! We've all got this!

I'm interested, too! Retaking in June after a bad experience in April. I think having LG under control would really help settle me in.

Cancel or Keep?

Hi everyone,

Wondering if some of you who have gone through admissions process might be able to chime in here? April LSAT Flex scores just released and I scored substantially (5+ points) lower than my PT average. I'm already signed up and plan to retake in June.

I'm a first-time test taker and had a horrendous time getting ProctorU to function on my prehistoric MacBook Pro. Spent 1 hour or so on tech support call before beginning exam, which rattled me to say the least!

I have Score Preview option available so cancelling is a possibility but I've seen mixed advice on how a cancel looks to ad comms when you apply. The score in question is not bad (166) but I've scored higher than this on every PT I've taken (I've been religious about simulating actual test day conditions on each PT so I don't think this is a huge factor...) I also don't want to wreck my chances at a T14, especially in a cycle as competitive as this fall's likely will be.

Would appreciate this community's guidance as I think about how to move forward.

Great insight, thank you! (I'm so underconfident I didn't even consider underconfidence as a possible cause, LOL!) I'll do some drilling with that predicting technique.

Thanks again!

Getting Tripped Up on Easy Questions

Lately, I've noticed a frustrating trend in LR when taking PTs. I'm consistently getting the "five star" curve-breaker questions only to get tripped up by easy questions (1-2 star questions) that for whatever reason just don't register with me. Not sure if I am overthinking, if it's a fatigue/focus issue, or if there is some fundamental gap in my understanding I need to fill.

Anybody else been through this? If so, any tips/tricks you learned to combat this would be much appreciated!

What's helped me tackle the NA questions I've run into is to look for an AC that, if negated, would totally destroy the argument the stimulus is trying to make. (JY discusses this in the cc and his explanation is much better than mine--take a look if you haven't already)

This simple litmus test of "If the statement in this AC were not true, would the argument still hold water" has been pretty effective for me.
