I didn’t see this information on any of the forums I’d scoured before my FLEX exam yesterday so I thought I’d share my misfortune in hopes someone else can avoid my fate.

If you have a Surface Pro with a detachable keyboard you’ll lose all keyboard functionality once ProctorU takes over your computer. I found this out the hard way when none of my highlight or underline tools worked during RC. You can use your finger, but you have to uncheck the tool before you scroll the screen with your finger otherwise it’ll highlight the entire passage.

Cost me 15 mins trying to get the proctor to pause my exam while we figured out the problem. Either plan on not highlighting/underlining anything, or borrow a different computer.

Can anyone help me out with this one? I ended up getting it right by process of elimination but I'm having trouble figuring out how to write it in conditional logic.

Thanks!

Hi all! I will be taking the LSAT for the first time in April. I am PT-ing in mid-160s right now and aiming for a mid-160 to high 160s on my first test. Please send me a message if you're interested in joining a study group for the April test.

Hello,

My name is Ken Kim. We are a group of Koreans and Korean-Americans planning to take the LSAT either this October or in a couple of years. We have members scoring from 160-175 either on the official test or practice tests. Some of us are committed full-time to the test while some of us are working at a company, law firm, etc. We meet on the following dates at the Gangnam station Exit 9 Wing Study Cafe.

2:00 pm-5:00 pm, Sunday

We usually meet and do questions from LR and RC. We match our answers and discuss why each one of us have chosen an answer we chose. The fee for joining the study is free other than paying for the studying cafe fee which is 1,900 KRW per person for each hour (5,700 KRW total).

If you are interested, please send me a message to my inbox. I will direct you further. Thanks!

Hi guys I would appreciate it if someone could review my reasoning for this question and let me know if this is correct. When BRing I realized that I made a mistake and chose A rather than E which is correct.

Basically if negated, A says something along the lines of less than 51% of those people who abandon the use of chemical fertilizers will periodically grow alfalfa. Now this may be tempting but it doesn`t really do much, our argument doesn`t say that every person needs to make this switch, just that in order to improve the soil structure we need to ditch chemical fertilizers and begin growing green manure crops.

E is a much better answer because it tells us that we can`t use chemical fertilizers AND grown green manure crops, so we have to ditch chemical fertilizers as stated in the argument

When negated it sounds somewhat like, some farmers in the region will grow green manure even if they do not abandon the use of chemical fertilizers, suggesting that we do not need to ditch the fertilizers in order to grow green manure, and ruining our argument.

I also struggled a little with answer choice D, but here`s my reasoning

I think its incorrect because when negated it just says chemical fertilizers themselves do not have a destructive effect on soil, this can be true because the argument is assuming that its the switch from green manure to chemicals that has deteriorated the soil structure, it doesn`t need to be that the chemicals themselves are destructive.

Let me know what you think!

Hi, I chose C but not firmly sure why is the correct answer.

Even though all professions involves a certain degree of subjectiveness, but this is not the same as "determined by" subjectiveness. If all jobs are involves merely a certain weak degree of subjectiveness--not to the extent of being determined by it, then this answer choices does not really point out a flaw.

Any thoughts? Thanks.

Hey everyone

I have 9 recent PT's left that I plan to take before the November 11th LSAT. Would it be ideal to have all of them except maybe one or two done before the final week leading up to the LSAT? That way I'd have completed all the material and can focus solely on review that week. Or is it better to just keep at my current pace and not switch to primarily review the final week. Thanks for any advice!

    Hey 7Sage friends, i took pre-test 68 and scored very differently on the two LR sections. i am a bit perplexed by the discrepancy. How does one get 85% aka 22/26 on the first section of LR on a preptest and then get 56% aka14/25 on the second section of LR on the same preptest? I did both of them timed during a full practice test and THEN redid both sections, timed as well, and got the same score on a different day. I redid them to make sure that the second sections failure wasn't an accident. The difficulty level of the second LR section is clearly much more difficult for me. I would say 85% on the first section is a great outcome but the second section killed my score overall. any tips or explanations for the difference in difficulty? So i need to go back to fundamentals? do preptests usually have one section of the LR that is SIGNIFICANTLY more difficult in comparison to the other? thanks in advance

    I was wondering if anyone had any insight on how the LSAT-flex will be scored? If it’s on the same scale as the regular LSAT does that mean we can miss about 8 questions and still get a 170? Thank you!

    Hey guys! Who I drill MSS questions, I lays get all the "very low" questions correct, then when it gets to "low" questions and "high" questions, I always get down to the last 2 choices and pick the wrong one on the first go then pick the right one on the blind review. Are there any tips on how to distinguish between the last 2 answer choices in the time frame on the first go? thanks!

    Hey just wanted to reach out to see if anyone else in the community had issues with taking the October LSAT. The first time I tried to test, the system stopped working in the middle of the exam and I couldn't finish. I sent emails, called, and reported an issue with the exam and rescheduled. Then when it came time to retest, the proctorU system indicated that the original exam, that I couldn't finish, somehow processed as completed as scheduled. So I was unable to take the retake as scheduled. I reached out to LSAC to see how this can be resolved, but I've heard nothing back yet. I'm a little worried they could snub me on the money I paid, as well as the exam attempt. Was anyone else unable to take the October 2021 LSAT because of multiple technical issues with LSAC and ProctorU?

    Not sure if anyone has experience with this but if we apply in the Work/Life Experience category (other factors are given more weight than GPA), would we still be considered under the General Applicants category depending on the nature of your non-academic experience? It does not say anything on their website.

    Hey folks, I'm going to be doing a PT this Saturday at 10 am CST. If you are taking PT's now, feel free to join in. We don't need to be working on the same test either.

    Anyone interested?

    Flaw: Conditional Logic Flaw

  • A wants a mayor to help attract more businesses, THEN Cooper is the only one to support.
  • A is supporting Cooper.
  • Conclusion: A wants to attract more business

    Anticipate: 1. The author mistakes what is necessary to be sufficient and vice versa.

    2. Does supporting cooper ? Guarantee? attracting more business.

    REMEMBER KEEP PREMISES TO BE TRUE.

    it must be true that A is supporting cooper! But the conclusion is FALSE. does it mean they ONLY want more business? what if there's other reasons.

    Since mass can be determined by the brightness, if the brightness is lower than previously thought, shouldn't it be that the mass is also higher than previously thought? If the brightness was thought to be 40% and mass 50 but brightness is actually 20, wouldn't the mass also be less than 50, hence lower than previously thought?

    I'm not sure I understand this question - what does 60 times less light mean? Is that supposed to be an absolute number? It seems pretty relative to me.
