Hey guys, was wondering if anybody had experienced an issue similar to the one my buddy is experiencing right now.

“When I went to test my equipment for the exam tomorrow, everything tested well except for the “monitor width.” I contacted customer support and they told me they haven’t experienced anything like this before and if I want it to get resolved, to call back an hour before the exam tomorrow.”

Has anyone dealt with an issue similar, or have any advice for him?

"I am reviewing the writing prompt from LSAT 84 and I am a little confused. For this prompt, am I arguing for one bullet point and either the Canton or the Fuller space? Or, both bullet points and the either the Canton or Fuller space? I’m just curious because I read one writing response in which the test taker argued for the two bullet points and only one of the following points (i.e. Canton or Fuller).

I am aware I need to point out the strengths and the weaknesses in my argument, and the exact same in the opposing argument, while reaffirming my argument in end."

This section alone has four weaken questions!!! I don't think i've ever had a section with so many flaw and weaken questions together... anyway, since JY's explanation videos are not available yet, I want to put these confusing ones out here for discussion:

Q22

Premise: (because) if we want to know medieval epi includes some claims, we just ask whether any epi believe it. If they did, then it is part of medieval epi; if they didn't then the opposite is part of medieval epi.

Conclusion: The solution to define medieval epistemology simply as the epistemological beliefs of the medieval epistemologists.

The correct AC is E, however I feel like E is weakening the premise. since we're supposed to weaken the support in this type of questions, I'm not sure E does that and also this argument feels like circular reasoning to me. Please feel free to point out any problems in my breakdown of the argument.

Q24

premise: if pollen from a drug-producing crop flies into a nearby non-drug-producing crop of the same species, the drug could fertilize and turn it into a drug-producing crop.

conclusion: genetically engineered crop raises the possibility that drug will end up in the general food supply.

I chose E for this question, becuz i think E provides that even though X happens, doesn't mean Y will necessarily ensue (X, not Y).

Similar to Q22, I find the correct answer choice D to weaken the premise, instead of the support.

Say I retake the LSAT writing for November flex, with an approved writing sample already on file from a previous exam -- if, by the time November flex scores are released, submission for the retaken LSAT writing is still pending, could that affect my score release?

I'm told that as long as I have an approved writing sample from the past year I will be able to view subsequent scores without delay, but I was wondering if having a pending writing sample in addition to an approved writing sample could potentially impede that process.

Thank you!

I don't know if this is common knowledge but I just wanted to share if it isn't. I take digital notes and I didn't like writing down all the sentences when taking a quiz. For example, while doing the logic group 1 and group 2 translations quizzes. So I downloaded an extension called Web Paint that allows me to underline, draw, paint, etc. the examples on the web page instead of physically writing all of the sentences and working through them on paper. I think this has saved me a lot of time. If this sounds confusing then let me know and I'll further explain what I mean.

I just got an email after taking the FLEX on Nov. 11th saying my writing sample was cancelled because my government I.D. was not clear enough and now I have to take the sample again. Is there any way to contest this so that I do not have to wait extra time to view my score. I wanted to apply to schools if my score was within my desired range and if it was not then I would study and take the January test, but if this processing takes additional time it sort of screws me over. Thanks everyone!

So I've applied for GWU Early decision but there is a very slim chance I get in..

I wanted to also apply for GMU, but I'm at odds whether I should apply now regular decision or Early decision but in Jan (When I find out about GWU)

I am wondering if I should write an addendum for my score going from a 148 (Nov 2019) to a 159 (Nov 2020)? I'm not sure.

Also, I changed my major to Graphic Design for a year in college because I wasn't sure about being a lawyer. Should I write about that as well?

How long should each addendum be?

Thanks!

Can somebody, who has taken the LSAT flex, comment on the differences between the LSAT flex and the normal full length LSAT. Is the experience better with the flex? And is your score considered just as credible by colleges as the traditional LSAT?

Hello,

We could discuss strategies, talk during BR, go over CC/PTs with a focus on RC and LR - LG if needed (twice weekly/online)

We could take 1-3 months together, hopefully helping each other for accountability and breaking that curve.

Please post/message your emails if interested!

does anyone recognize any similar games to the herbs game from Nov. 2020 flex from any previous LSAT's? would appreciate it if you can guide me to a similar game.

Anyone else ever felt like they blacked out during the test? I feel like this and I am flopping on the tests but during my study time in blind review I have gotten upper 160s. Does anyone have tips to amend this?

I'd like to find someone to meet with once or twice a week online to discuss LR and RC sections/questions. Ideally this would consist of completing some of the same sections/questions every week and then meeting to discuss difficult questions and passages.

I am currently scoring in the mid to high 160s (I have also scored in the low 170s several times on practice tests) and would prefer studying with someone with similar PT scores My current section breakdown is roughly LG -0/-2, LR -2/-3, RC -2/-4. I am also trying to find a study partner that approaches studying in a similar manner to how I approach it. I try to approach the test in a very methodical way and I find it very helpful to fully understand the reasoning behind each stimulus. I like to come up with a reason for choosing the correct answer and reasons for not choosing each incorrect answer. I also try to prephrase an answer as often as I can in LR--this is something I have struggled with so it's really a work in progress. For RC passages, I typically take a bit more time on the passage in order to really fully understand the structure of what I am reading. I like to read the passage as if I'm having a conversation with the author of the passage and constantly reflect back on what I've read to create a kind of mental map of how the passage is progressing.

Please send me a message about your experience with the LSAT/your study habits if you are interested in studying together! Thanks!
