Hello,
Legacy accounts, which are accounts created before LSAC implemented their Prep+ policy, can't be extended, but once it expires, you can just purchase Ultimate+ again. My understanding from talking to Student Services is that you'll keep all your data when you resubscribe as long as you use the same email address associated with your account. Also, you can reach out to Student Services by email and have them cancel your account immediately if you want, instead of waiting until August 1st.

Hello,
For this question, we are trying to figure out why the crimes reported to local police departments give the impression of a rise in crime, while the independent surveys give an impression that crime has decreased. To address your post, we don't know enough about the independent surveys to conclude what you're saying about them, or really anything that's not in the stimulus.
As for answer choice E, it's correct because it picks up on an important distinction, which is that not all crimes get reported to local police departments. E picks up on this by pointing out that a much greater proportion of crimes have been reported to local police departments in recent years than 20 years ago. This provides a potential explanation for the difference between the two data sources, as while crime has actually decreased overall, as indicated by the independent surveys, the reason the data from the local police departments indicates a rise in crime is because the local police departments have gotten a higher percentage of crimes reported to them. While it's possible this might not be correct, it at least provides a plausible explanation, hence why E is correct.
Thank you so much for taking the time to answer so thoroughly! Let me see if I understand this properly.
The initial part of the stimulus -- now -- looks like this to me:
(Example)
In regard to reporting,
2001 = .5/100,000
2005 = 1/100,000
2010 = 2/100,000
2015 = 4/100,000
2020 = 8/100,000
When we look at recent years with independent surveys,
2021 = .25/100,000
The latter portion of this example would represent ACTUAL crime proportional to population. The former would represent what has been reported (i.e. =/= to actual crime). Reporting can increase but that does not necessarily constitute an increase in actual crime.
Let me know if I am interpreting this better now!
Hello,
I think you're pretty much spot on. The only thing I would point out is that we don't if the independent surveys are actually the correct representation of the total crime per population, as we know little about them. Other than that, it looks like you're interpreting this question correctly. Please let me know if you have any additional questions, as I would be happy to help.

Hello,
D is incorrect because it says that most fatalities from horseback-riding and motorcycle accidents could have been prevented if they had been wearing a helmet. We don't need it to be most since the stimulus never mentions anything about the majority of injuries being prevented, and it also doesn't talk about fatalities either. If it had said it prevents some head injuries, then it would be the correct answer, but since it uses most and classifies what it's talking about incorrectly, D is incorrect.

Is November flex as well?
Hello,
November will be online too, but it will be the new regular LSAT, which is 4 sections, one of which is unscored, with a break in between sections 2 and 3. Too clarify, while the LSAT is completely online for the time being, starting with the August test, it's no longer called the LSAT-FLEX, but just the LSAT.
@joannaboyerd412 said:
@ssbm100 What do you mean that you would have to take the writing portion the same day if you want to take the test in the hotel? I am going to take my LSAT in a hotel and would appreciate the information!! Also where can I find more info on this?
Hello,
I'm not completely certain, but I believe they mean that you have to take it on the same day since LSAC only reimburses you for the one day you take the test, so if you wanted to take the LSAT writing in a hotel room and get a refund for the room, you'd need to do it on the same day.
@itonydelatorre373 said:
Having to decide between last flex or waiting until august is rough, lol.
Hello,
While it's referred to as just the regular LSAT, it's still the LSAT-Flex once August rolls around. The only changes is that it will have an additional unscored section and a break in between the second and third sections.

I signed up for the August LSAT - but will likely take the October one as a “just in case”— do you suggest for me to just sign up for October one now too or wait?
Hello,
If you plan on using it as a backup, and can afford it, you're better off just registering for it now to be safe.
Hello,
B is wrong because it's saying that the author is saying that everyone who is a poet or critic are all critics or all poets, when he never states this. He says that you have to be a true poet in order to be a critic of poetry, which goes exactly against what B is saying, since it shows that he doesn't believe the categories are inherently exclusive.
Hello,
For me, this is one of those cases where both answer choices technically work, but A is much stronger than B.
A tells us that meteor strikes that turned the atmosphere into a reducing atmosphere occurred around the time life began. This increases the likelihood that a lighting strike could have created the first amino acids because the proper conditions for them to form were met.
B is a really weak answer choice because it has too many variables involved. The stimulus tells us that amino acids essentially never form readily when it's not a reducing atmosphere, and that if they did, they usually break apart. B would add a lot more support if it said that a single amino acid was enough to create life on Earth, but the answer choice only says that it could have been enough. So on top of it being extremely rare that an amino acid would actually be created and survive, B at best tells us that maybe one would have been enough anyways, which doesn't really help us at all. While A does require a lighting strike to happen not too long after a meteor strike as you pointed out, the fact that the meteor strikes occur around the time life began does greatly support the theory that lightning works, and I think provides much more support than answer choice B.
Hello,
It's labeled as an MSS question, though I think it could also be interpreted as an MBT question. Thankfully, either interpretation works here, and this is not a question stem used on more recent tests.
Hi,
Just wanted to let you know that I'm registered for the June 2021 LSAT, and my LSAT registration on my LSAC account says the projected score release date is July 1st, 2021. Also, I just registered for the August 2021 LSAT too, and the score release date for that is September 3rd, 2021.
Hello,
Yes, 7Sage has a built in step that let's you blind review before seeing the answers. I recommend doing most of your preptests on 7Sage because of that feature and the analytics, but do some on LawHub as your test date approaches to familiarize yourself with the interface.
Hello,
You can't do a preptest untimed, but you can create a problem set of each section and do those untimed.
Alternatively, you can do the preptests on LSAC's LawHub untimed, though you won't get data such as your time per question and target times like you would on 7Sage.
Hello,
You can click on the problem set, and there should be a delete option on the main page of the problem set.
If you take it in exam mode, it won't show the score until the whole test is done.
Congratulations! You deserve every acceptance you receive, and hopefully there are many more to come!
Hello,
My understanding is that for some reason LawHub still uses questions that are removed from scoring, as the question you are referring to isn't in the officially released preptest.
Hello,
I got back my February LSAT score, and while it's good, I want to retake the LSAT in August because I know I can do better based on my preptests, and I'm hoping to improve even more. However, I've used up all fresh preptest material, so I was wondering if anyone has any advice on how to properly study when I've already seen all the preptest material?
Hello,
In the third paragraph of the passage, the reason the plot that was sprayed with the pesticide is predator free is because the pesticide kills the predator insect. The pesticide in Q23 is stated to have no effect on the predator insects, hence the predator wouldn't be killed off and could eat the prey insects. While it's true that the passage doesn't state if the plot treated with pesticides had predator insects placed into it, the passage states in the first paragraph that these predator insects naturally go into these strawberry plots that have the prey insects, so it's reasonable to assume that would happen in this experiment since they are unaffected by the pesticide.
Hello,
A is correct because it shows that the stimulus' conclusion is too narrow. The stimulus lays out multiple requirements for becoming the dean of computing, and then concludes that they have to pick a professor from the computer science department, thus making the unstated assumption that the only candidates who fit all the requirements are professors from the computer science department. Answer choice A weakens this argument by essentially stating that there are candidates who meet all the requirements listed in the stimulus but who are not professors, thus weakening the argument by showing that the argument's conclusion is too narrow since there are more eligible candidates other than professors from the computer science department.
This is definitely a tricky question, so I'd be happy to clarify my explanation or answer any questions you might have about this problem.
Hello,
LSAC has recently stated that the LSAT-FLEX format is going to be used for at least the next 2-3 years, so yes, they will accept the LSAT-FLEX. They are going to add an unscored section and a break between the second and third sections in August, and use that format moving forward.

Good evening,
I registered for the April LSAT-FLEX about a month or so ago, but I don't see a specific date mentioned on the LSAC home page. I see that it will be for April 10, 11 and some days later in the week. How/when will I know what my exact test date and time are? thank you in advance! :)
Hello,
You should receive an email around a week before the test that will give you your ProctorU login info. This will allow you to access the website and select your test date and time.

I struggled with a section of LG, it was the second game so it threw me off that I was struggling with the second game! I’m pretty good with LG but after 2 minutes precious time I skipped over it & unfortunately had to guess the answers. RC all seemed more dense and difficult than Jan RC but I did my best. That being said, does anyone know when the grades are being released?
Hello,
The scores are being released on March 10th.
Hello,
You can find them under the LSAT Questions tab. Click Explanation Videos, and there will be an option near the top of the page that says Show starred explanations.
