Hey all you cool 99th percentile scorers out there. I am wondering...once you crack into the 170's...is the test just easy? I am stuck in the 163-166 range, and still find that every time I take a PT it never feels easy. I really feel like each and every test thoroughly kicks my ass, even though my score is continuing to creep up. I do feel like my understanding of the material has greatly improved, but it is certainly never a walk in the park.

Just curious!

#help I have been trying to come up with the best way to approach these RC questions, especially the ones I get wrong. I have reverted back to Phase 1 in the memory method after doing not so well on a few of the RC passages. For the questions you get wrong, how do you go about tackling them? Should I be analyzing the passage on my own then going and watching JY’s analysis to realize what I have missed before I start the question? Should I just power through and then watch his analysis and questions after I do it on my own? I feel like its much harder to correct my way of thinking for RC questions than for the other two sections and not really sure what my “plan of action” should be. Thanks!

hi guys,

anybody here completed their August-Flex?

I just did mine yesterday. Hope everybody's went exactly how they wanted it to, and good luck to those who have not yet!

Hey everyone!! I really don't like reading on my computer/electronics for extended periods of time, and have a lot of trouble with long-term focus and concentration. I've been taking practice tests, and I always do the worst on the last section by somewhere between 3-6 incorrect answers. For example, today on my PT I scored LR -2, LG -3, and RC -9 (a much worse score than I typically get for RC).

I'm taking the October flex test and wanted to see if anyone else has/had this problem, and what strategies have worked for you!

Do we need to do anything with ProctorU after taking the LSAT flex? The "log me in rescue" app is still in my downloads - would I be able to safely remove it? And we're no longer screen-sharing / sharing our webcam video with ProctorU once we close the chat window right? (We have control over our computers again? right after closing the chat window) haha

Wishing everyone who took the test recently the best!

I took the August flex and didn't feel as comfortable with RC and LR as I would have liked. If anyone would like to blind review with me please message me! My LR is anywhere from -0 to -4, and RC is all over the place: -2 to -7.

If you're scoring around the same and are interested in doing a lot of RC this next month lmk!

Hey everyone, need some help here. The sufficient assumption questions are giving me a pretty hard time. I was curious where I should go back to and review that might help me with these ? I was going through the CC quite fine, Everything leading up to SA made percent sense, including the SA lesson itself. Even the general approach to these questions I found understandable.

But as soon as the actual practice questions started I have never felt more out of the loop. I find converting the questions into Lawgic quite difficult.

Any advice, on what to review or areas that might be a weak link that are making this question type difficult for me ?

Thanks !

Hey everyone! I took the June LSAT-Flex and got my score a while ago, but the in the "LSAT Documents" section of my LSAC account the document icons are still green, as opposed to grey. I realize Flex tests will not be disclosed, but my last LSAT (Feb 2020 in person) was also undisclosed and the document icons still turned grey after scores came out.

Has anyone been in touch with LSAC about why this is happening? I can't seem to get them on the phone, and I want to make sure that new LSAT-Flex score will get reported to schools.

Hey everyone!

For the last month I've been stuck in the low-mid 160s. My BR scores are consistently low 170s-mid 170s. I take 3 timed PTs a week and then on the in between days I drill the areas that I am struggling with (mostly LG and recently RC). I am taking the October LSAT and am starting to get nervous about if I will ever close this gap between BR and my timed PTs. How long and in what way were you able to close this gap? Thank you so much!

I’m new to this Flex thing, since I just restarted studying last week (after taking a year off).

Can anyone do a brief overview of their Flex experience? You have to do it on a computer with a webcam - will you see other students? Do you see your proctor? What’s the format?

Hi all,

I have four potential candidates I'd like to reach out to for LOR.

Two TAs (one from an elective course: leadership and resiliency i.e. not very hard, and the other was regular course)

and two Professors. Both very accomplished professors, one of the professors is the founder of the Public Policy school at UVA. I received A - for both classes the professors taught. All four taught different classes.

The professors don't know me particularly well, one class was a lecture with 120 students and the other class was a seminar with 15. On the other hand, I interacted with both TAs on a regular basis (many email exchanges, office visits, even study sessions over the phone during final exam period). The ratio for office visits was probably 3 to 1. Notably, I got a bad grade in my midterm for the class that non-elective TA taught but ended up doing really well at the end through many consultations with him and guidance he provided for my final paper and exam. I impressed both TAs and definitely have better, more in-depth relationship with them. I think they would write a stellar and very personal letter of recommendation and suspect that they will have much more substantive things to say about me than the professors.

So my question is,

Who do you think I should ask??

Do you think the admission officers would weigh a letter that has more depth and is written from a TA who knows/likes me but admittedly teach a not very challenging elective course? Or would they weigh a banal letter that sounds like other typical letters from well-known professors?

At the end of writing this I have decided to ask the other TA who taught a regular class but I still need to decide between my leadership class TA vs the two professors. I graduated a year ago and plan on submitting one or two LORs from my managers and supervisors.

Any thoughts/comments are greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

I sent transcripts from all of the schools I've attended to LSAC a month ago. Since I got my masters degree from the same school I got undergrad, whenever I request transcripts both of my undergrad and masters degree transcripts are sent together in one PDF. But for some reason, while LSAC shows that they received my undergrad transcript, they didn't get my masters transcript yet. I'm wondering whether I should request another transcript to be sent to LSAC from my school.. I'd like to call LSAC but they seem to be busy and currently not confirming whether they got transcripts via phone call. Would really appreciate any advice on this. Thank you so much in advance!!

I have been studying since June. I am currently finishishing up sequencing games and I am scheduled for the November LSAT. Do you think approximately two months of prep-tests will be enough if I finish core curriculum by mid-September?

I am realistically trying to get above a 170 but so is everyone else.

I wrote the LSAT-Flex on August 29th and was using the command-F feature during the RC section (I use a Mac). However, I'm used to hitting command-space to search things up on my laptop when I'm studying and I accidentally hit command-space instead of command-F during the exam which searched my entire laptop... I realized quickly and closed out of it and was too scared to use command-F after that. Do you think I will have any issues with getting my score because of this/should I do anything about it? Now that I've written the exam I can't help stressing over these little things! I don't want something like this to mess up my scores ahhh and I'm scared I'll get flagged because of this... would appreciate some opinions on if I should do anything

Could someone help me out with the memory method for RC? I am confused on how many times one should do it and for how long

Hi all

I am currently wanting to sign up for November, and have never used LSAT resources before. At this point I only have about 2 months and some change from now until test day for November 2020. Is this a viable timeframe to try to get 8-10 point bump? I've previously taken it and scored 147, a few years ago without test prep materials. I was not sure if 7sage put a strong emphasis on having months versus just 2-3

some one please explain this question to me.

Hello everyone,

I have spent the past 10 days focusing mostly on RC. I am having a great deal of trouble with this section. JY's low-res summary has not helped me one bit. I am having great troubles understanding the passage before moving into the questions. I have started looking into possible tutors to help develop strategies that will help me. I had a call with a company called "Varsity Tutors" today, they gave me a quote of $1200 for 12 hours of 1 on 1 instruction time. The price seems absolutely ludicrous given the amount of supervision.

I'm feeling defeated at this point, and any help would be greatly appreciated

Anyone have some tips on LR ? Would love to have a zoom call with someone who's strong on LR and maybe teach me a different approach? I read the powerbooks .. use Khan.. have Kaplan tutoring coming up.... Sometimes I learn better from peers.

my worst section is RC.. I read the power scores and they say read the entire passage and "summarize" as youre reading.. others say skim thru and highlight may terms/dates/names/etc. then look at questions and attack from the questions.. Who is very strong in RC and can give me a solid recommendation? I learn better from peers. Would love a zoom call with someone because Im at a 139 BECAUSE of LR and RC

Hi all. I took the LSAT Flex yesterday and well, it didn't go great. For various reasons I was not in the best head space and that coupled with test day anxiety really threw me for a loop.

I've been drilling LG for a few months now and have been consistently getting between -1 and -4 on practice tests. On the real deal, my brain went completely blank and I maybe properly set up two of the games. I remember blindly guessing on at least 3 questions (probably more but my brain has kind of blacked out details) and made semi-educated guesses on others. I also had super low time on the last RC passage and had to make some pretty quick educated guesses there as well. LR might be fine but also might not.

This was so far off from my recent PT experiences, which have mostly ranged in the high 160s/low 170s. I'm pretty worried that the LG section alone put me below the 160s range on the actual test.

I took the test last November so I already have that score on file (160) and feel like it would look pretty terrible to have an even lower score on record almost a year later... At the same time, maybe I miraculously guessed well and/or somehow didn't do as terribly as I think. So, the question is: Is it a good idea to cancel my score to be safe..? More specifically, is it better to have a cancelled score on record (and forever be haunted by not knowing how I did) than to have two scores well below my goals on file a year apart?

Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Does anyone think the January Lsat will be flex or in person ?

Is January 3rd 2020 too soon to plan to take the LSAT?

Two questions:

Has anyone had success recording a digital take + your scratch paper writing, and if so can you share your setup?

Does anyone have a line on a tutor good for reviewing video and analyzing strategy deficiencies? I've reached out to one of the tutors I've used before (from 7sage) as well as powerscore... still waiting on responses.

Hello! I am looking to work with a law school advisor/counselor to help demystify the application process and give me a better sense of where I stand in terms of this upcoming admissions cycle. If anyone on here does hourly advising, or if any of you can recommend a particular counselor that has helped you in the past, I'd be really interested in booking a session in the near future. My email is ryeenarzani@gmail.com by the way. Thanks!
