I had ProctorU connection issues during my June FLEX.

LR was totally normal.

RC I was interrupted 3-4 times starting halfway through reading passage 2. After about 1 minute of stop and go reading, my proctor paused the test, closed everything, and started me off again from where we were. I got through the section, but felt I never got to the level of understanding for that passage that I am used to.

LG was normal through two games, but I was interrupted by connection issues again during the last two games. I was able to answer all questions, but I probably lost 60 seconds of work time, had to guess on two questions, and didn't check my work at the end.

LSAC is offering me a retest 8 days from now. Here's why I'm so unsure of what to do:

-I've already taken the most recent 25 PTs, and I'm worried about reusing PTs or relying on older ones.

-I don't trust the FLEX setup anymore. I could encounter the same or worse connection issues again. The issues stemmed from the server side, not from my local setup.

-I am not applying this cycle, so I can retest next year if I keep this score and I am not thrilled.

This was my second sitting. I think the odds I did worse than my first sitting are low, the odds I did 1-2 points better are high, and the odds I did 3+ point better are medium. But that's just my estimate. I was shooting for a -10 on the exam.

Thanks for the insight and support. I am just a wreck over this whole thing.

Looking at the syllabus, it looks like the logical reasoning section goes on for a very long time before introducing logic games. So, can you possibly interject some logic game lessons while still in the logical reasoning section of the course? Or is it recommended to just follow the syllabus strictly as it stands?

I took my LSAT on Sunday. I didn't have any major problems. Of course there were some passages, etc. that caught me off guard, but ultimately I felt good about the test. My LG seemed easy compared to every practice test I've ever done - I finished the section for the FIRST TIME ever without having to guess on any answer. After a day of feeling good about it, I started to second guess myself. Thinking things like "what if I missed an important rule and fell for all the trap answers, and that's why it felt easier than normal?" I also never know how I did on LR and RC, its hard to tell. Does anyone have advice on how to get past this second-guessing game. I don't want to feel like this for the next 2 weeks.

Hi, I have been consistently scoring in the mid 150s, and very slowly increasing my score. My initial PT was a 140, I am sitting for the LSAT this August. I am looking for a tutor or a motivated, small study group in an attempt to break into the 160s for the august exam. Do you think this goal is realistic, I am open to all suggestions and advice.

I filed a test day complaint after 2 hours delay and experienced multiple connection issues. I’m hoping to receive a retake for June Flex.

Does anyone know if retake LSATs with released scores are on the same day as general administration dates?

Hello, I was wondering if anyone had advice as to how to improve on the harder LR questions. Currently, for every questions I get wrong I write it in a notebook and analyze each answer choice. I continue to think it through and even play around a little and try to figure out what would have to change in order for the answer to be right. I have seen SIGNIFICANT improvements doing this and have noticed I have began to mimic this exact thinking process while i am taking times sections. However, I find it quite difficult to understand some of the harder LR questions. Does anyone have any advice on how to reason through them. Do you believe as I go through more questions I will begin to see general trends?

In the question, the advertisement claims no headache pill stops pain more quickly. Then, to my undestanding, their claim is that their pill, compared to their competitors, stops pain the quickest. Why is the answer C as opposed to D?

Is anyone and everyone considered the same thing in the LSAT?

For example, if I say anyone who has X should do Y. Is that the same as saying everyone who has X should do Y? I feel like we treat them very similar despite the fact that they feel quite different.

I was taking my exam and during my 1 minute break in between my RC and LR section I told my mom to put the tv lower. 5 minutes or so later the proctor calls me (once I’ve begun my LR section) and goes “I heard you talking, you’re not allowed to talk. What did you say?” I said “I just told my mom to be quiet.” she said “You’re not allowed to speak. This is your first warning.” I thought she was done but she kept going saying something like “do you understand? No more talking.” I already have accommodations because I have to reread multiple times or else I don’t process. When she interrupted me it really threw me off as I was in the middle of a question and it made me anxious. Was I allowed to say that during my break? And why didn’t she just tell me this while I was still in my break? She for some reason waited until I began the section to say something. If I am allowed to speak during breaks can should I complain?

How does one translate this in conditional logic:

"If one has X, everyone must do Y, if they are to achieve X"

Example: "If one has defined a goal, everyone must work together, if they are to achieve that goal"

Is it two seperate conditionals: defined goal > work together & achieve goal > work together

Or is it: achieve goal > (defined goal > work together)

Im currently working 25 to 30 hours a week while prepping for my LSAT. My LSAT date is in November. Im beginning to feel stressed and I'm seeking advice on whether i should keep working or stop working until i complete my LSAT. I feel that i don't have ample time to readjust mentally and physically between work and test prep.

Hi!

So I have heard a lot of people are able to work through the lessons/core curriculum pretty quickly and I would like to know how. I previously studied for the LSAT all last summer working myself up from a 147 to a 158, so I'm familiar with the basic, but wanted to refresh myself so I started from the beginning. I am new to 7Sage. I took the August 2020 LSAT and completely choked. After I recovered from that traumatizing experience I finally have the courage to pick up the study materials again. I plan on retaking the LSAT in August and November, but I'm not able to keep up with the suggest schedule, because of all the time it takes me to get through the practice sets. Is there a method you guys use or do you just skip the practice sets? #Help

I am at a loss for words... after countless hours and months of studying today was my day to shine. After a thirty minute delay and seven test interruptions I finally finished. Honestly, I feel absolutely terrible! I was redirect through seven different proctors and technicians throughout the course of my exam time. All I can feel is that my time was cheated! I don't know where to go from here. Is there a place where I can report this? Do I just cancel my scores? Please help!

(If this post violates rules on test disclosure, sorry and delete it!)

So - took the LSAT in April, and one of my games was grouping with binary sub groups - U or V. Now, my handwriting is atrocious, and I took like an extra minute just to make sure my Us didn’t looks like my Vs. I more or less had to re-do like 1/2 of the questions because I couldn’t tell if my mostly-angled curves were a U or a V.

From my recollection, earlier PTs did this fairly regularly, but more recent ones have generally gone for more visually distinct variables. Anyway, I wasn’t really prepared for it, and I should have been. (Assuming my LSAT used older LGs, but I could be totally wrong on that one). Does anyone else have this problem??

I’m also curious about everyone else’s thoughts … the argument could be made that being able to write clearly is important enough that it’s a legit part of the test, or we could argue that they could have tested logic without testing penmanship by going with U and P, for instance.

… okay I’ll be honest, I’m mostly just annoyed and slightly bored, so I figured I’d complain, hahah. Good luck to everyone taking the June test!

Hello everyone!

I just took the June LSAT Flex yesterday and really don't feel good about it. I know for a fact that I underperformed and my anxiety got the best of me. My first section was LG (which is usually my strongest section) but I was really nervous during the first game to the extent that I had to let it go and then come back at the end to finish it. After LG, I remembered I felt so bad that I was thinking to cancel the score during the exam. I did finish the four games and guessed on 1 question but I just really am not sure how I did.

My RC and LR were average I would say. I definitely could have done better because I was having some trouble concentrating sometimes during the test. I couldn't sleep the night before the exam so that really didn't help lol.

My PT average has been a 168 since April. And my April Flex score was a 164. After my April Flex I actually felt pretty ok but I got a 164. My fear is that if I don't cancel my score it is likely that it will be lower than my April score since I felt much worse than last time. I worry that the drop will not make my application look good.

And lastly, I have already signed up for August so I am retaking it anyway.

Thank you in advance for your insights and help! And congrats to everyone who has finished the test and best of luck to those who haven't taken it : )

I had been studying hard for that test. I had everything prepped and ready to go. However, when I started taking that test...man. Let me tell you. That was the worst mental and intellectual a$$ kicking I have ever received.

I have never felt more clueless in my life.
