Taking the flex in 2 weeks, and LR is crushing me. I do sections and get around a -8, then in BR I check my flagged questions and usually end up at a -5 (my goal). Whenever I look over the questions I think "of course the answer isn't this" and end up picking the correct answer. I guess my issue is the time and pressure, but how do I overcome this? Any tips would be appreciated!

hello -- I have been studying since last may and am looking for a study buddy in the high 160s/170+ range to study with for feb. I am scoring around 168 aiming to break 170 for the exam. Please PM if interested ~~~

Did anyone find it very difficult? I've taken about 20 PT's and my lowest score on RC previously was -6. Landed a -11 on this one yesterday

help This might be a dumb question.

I get the correct answer (emphasize the degree of unpredictability in S and O model) However, I was hesitant to pick it because I somehow interpreted it to mean that the model itself is unpredictable, not that the ideas in the model are unpredictable. I think it's because I interpreted it to mention degree of unpredictability of the model not in the model. Is there a difference in these 2? How do I differentiate whether they are discusses the model itself or elements of it.

Just took PT 84 - wondering if anyone found the LR kind of weird? Not hard per se, but for example PT 84 S2 Q2 (an NA) was more of a soft NA answer? They are usually a lot more clear. Idk maybe I’m just being picky but I found there were a couple questions where the answers were a lot more subtle to me.


Anyways, onto PT 84 S2 Q11

I knew AC was right but crossed it off because I thought it attacked a premise. Looking back it appears I misread the stimulus.

The premise says: “Many features ..." Admin Note: I deleted the premise and Answer Choice C as it is against our Forum Rules to post LSAT questions on the Forum.

And AC C says: "Excessive blinking ..."


I thought that the stimulus read “excessive blinking is not such a feature of confidence” (rather than saying "blink rate is not a feature")

My question is, if it had said what I thought it said, would AC C have been an attack on the premise like I thought it was?

Hi Everyone,

I started studying back in November and was originally planning on taking the test in April. However, based on my projected timeline I am planning on pushing my date back until June. I am wondering if anyone knows when the registration dates after April are usually opened?

Hey guys, so my LR score finally has been improved (well sort of), I have been doing some times LR sections from prep tests 1-15 and I usually spend about an hour or an hour and a half on each LR section, I've been scoring either 14/26 or 16/26.

In general, for each question type I am not consistent in my scoring (for example, the test could have 3 or 4 Resolve Reconcile Explain questions and I'll get 1 or 2 right and the rest wrong). Another example, for MC questions if there is a sub conclusion and I noticed that LR timed sections have these, I won't be able to figure out which is the exact main conclusion (see question 4 on prep test 15 as an example).

There is no one question type I am good at, but I notice that the harder the level of difficulty the more likely I get it wrong.

How can I improve my score to at least a 20 and should I be doing timed sections? I am not really sure what to do next.

Oh and if anyone PLEASE has or knows of any resources that can help me improve on Weakening, Flaw and Necessary Assumption Questions that would be great because they are my biggest nightmare.

Thanks! :)

To anyone who’s interested, I’m streaming my study sessions live. Come “join” me in our quest for the mythical 180 :)

As of now, I’ll be on until about 6:30 pm EST

Hello, would any of you be interested in doing a zoom study session - mainly focusing on RC (it seems to be my weakest section)

Let me know! Only a few days left until we have to take it!

Thanks :)

Hey ya'll

Im planing to take Feb LSAT, the first time I took LSAT I got 127 in June 2020, and now my highest PT LSAT score is150. It been a while that even though I study a lot with BR Im not improving, My GPA 3.80 ( from UCI) is more than the 75 percentile for the school that I love to attend (chapman law) but my LSAT is bellow 25(154) percentile. I was wondering what do you think my chances are to get Into chapman at all or get in with scholarship?

Took PT 55 today, set records in LG and LR but my score suffered because of the friggin Maxine Kingston passage. Did anyone else have a hard time with this RC?

Is it possible to take the LSAT writing after you've taken your test, or do I have to take the lsat writing in order to take the test? I know I have to take it in order to see my score, but was wondering if there was an open window when I could take it. Thanks!

Hi All! I will be taking the writing portion this week, is there any recs on how to tackle this part of the exam?

Hi all!

Hope everyone had a Happy New Year!

I haven't been studying much since I was focused on finding employment after being laid off from COVID, however, I'm happy to say I'll be starting a new job this week, and I feel like I can refocus my attention on the LSAT.

The last time I studied consistently was probably early November. I did a bit here and there throughout November/December, but I would say probably only an hour or two every other week. I feel like I'll be rusty getting back into more of a strict schedule, and like I may have "forgotten" my strategies for LR/LG. Does anyone have any tips for someone who's taken a break for this long and is now returning to LSAT studying again?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you :)

Hi guys, I am currently a 0L and will be starting law school in fall of 2021. I have been looking into the 7sage law school explained courses and was wondering if anyone can weigh in on the pros and cons of it? Additionally, do you find the courses helpful and what part of the course has been most helpful to you? I know it's a relatively new addition to 7sage so I wanted to get some feedback from actual students before signing up for the whole course so any thoughts would be appreciated. I just want to get my feet wet before diving into law school so I at least have a sense of what I'm getting myself into before 1L starts lolol

If my transcripts and LOR's are submitted to but not processed by the LSAC before a school's deadline, can I still apply?

Hi guys,

I'm preparing for the January LSAT flex this upcoming weekend. I will also plan to take the April and July 2021 LSATs as well.

So far, I've been doing a lot of drills and untimed work, with some timed work intermittently. It improved my BR scores to be at/above the target score (173). But occasionally I rush the process and get a lower BR score. I've been doing this after the core curriculum up to PT 53.

I recently took several timed PTs (72, 73, and 82), scoring lower than my previous timed scores and BR. I'm not worried about the LG portion, but feel that I need to be doing much better in LR and RC. I'm going to stop taking PTs after PTs, as I feel that I'm not making the improvements that I am hoping for, particularly in the LR section.

I've heard from Josh's webinar series that one should develop a study plan after BR and analysis of the latest timed PT, to work on one's weaknesses. I've already used up PTs 7 - 52 and as I plan a set of drills for specific question types in LR, I'm thinking of drawing them from PT 54 - 56. Afterward, I will take a new timed PT (probably 74), BR, analyze, and drill the question types that I got wrong from PT 57 - 59. Repeat, hopefully, until a timed score of 173.

How does my plan sound ? Am I pulling from the right pile of PTs for drilling my weaknesses? In other words, should I solely be making drill sets from PT 1 - 35? Or, on the other hand, am I spending too much time on drills/untimed work and instead should be focused on doing timed PTs and BR instead?

All the best.

Before entering the PT's in the 80's, I used to blaze through the LR questions and would get -4/-5. Obviously, not perfect but a solid result.

But once I entered the 80's, my LR started dipping and I end up getting -7 to -9. I took a step back and tried to see what's going on.

I'm starting to find that a lot of the flaws and assumptions in LR in the 80's are still the same, but they are disguised with more convoluted language, both in the stimulus and in the answers. This has forced me to have to slow down now and really untangle the language in both the stimulus and answers now.

Is this something people have noticed or am I just going crazy? Lol.

I used to love blazing through the sections, but am wondering if I need to slow down now to attain accuracy on the more recent PT's.

Any idea whether test takers are allowed to use a touch screen laptop & stylus pen for the LSAT Flex? My reading comprehension & overall performance is much better when I can use the pen.

Hello,

I recently received my CAS evaluation and noticed they included grades from non-undergraduate courses. These courses have no undergraduate standing and were for a certificate course. Does anyone know if non-undergraduate courses are included in the CAS gpa calculation?

Thank you!

Does anyone have any advice about when it is a good idea to log into their Proc U account on test day? Also, I heard someone say that we might have to turn on/off webcam mirroring? Your insight would be appreciated.

Hi everyone,

I've just completed the MP and MSS lessons and was wondering...what do you all do when you 96% understand a lesson? I did some custom problem sets from the question bank, and was getting all right except 1 or 2 of the ones designated "hard" or "hardest" every section...do I move on to the next lesson? Do I stay here on MP and MSS? What else can I do to make sure I 100% understand this before moving on?

Thanks!

Would any one like to review my personal statement? I wrote this statement a year ago and would like to keep most of it the same but I am open to suggestions. Thanks!

Hi everyone. I'll be taking the LSAT Flex for the first time in a few days. I've read on here that proctors will interrupt if they cannot see your face in the camera. Are we able to see ourselves on our screens? How can I make sure my face is visible at all times? I'd like to avoid being interrupted. Thanks in advance!

Is it possible to schedule the LSAT flex in the middle of the night? Taking the test in the middle of the night would be the most safe option for minimizing disturbances for my environment, but I was wondering if it was even possible.

Are available test times on a 24-7 basis for your region? In previous proctorU registrations I only looked at the specific time I wanted so I didn’t really look at how wide-ranging the times that they had were.

For instance, if I was in the region (Europe, Africa, and the Middle East), would the time slot “3 am” in the UK even be an option for me haha, or are all the time slots limited to just early morning to reasonable nighttime hours. If anyone remembers that would be helpful!

--–————————————————

Side note:

IF ProctorU has 24-7 availabilities, I am also of course curious to hear about any health/scientific comments on health impacts/performance of switching to a nocturnal life. (I used to wake up at 9 AM, sleep at midnight). It would be a major change, but there are 16 days to go until Jan 19 so I think it's possible to adjust to being nocturnal. Just not sure if there might be unknown consequences.
