Hi, __I'm a student testing for the LSAT flex this April, but I saw that my testing date was moved from April 11th to April 13th eastern time.

Has anybody else had this problem?

I saw on the site that some tests could be delayed for proctor requirement accommodations, but I think this is so unfair if that's the case for me :(

I now have to take the test on a between two busy school days at nighttime hahahahah. I was expecting a peaceful sunday testing lmao.

The last sentence reads "The device is not yet used by a large percentage of car owners, but in cities where only a small percentage of car owners have the device installed, auto thefts have dropped dramatically."

I was very confused when reading "dramatically"; I thought it simply means an obvious drop in auto theft. But the size of the drop is still unknown---it can be small or huge. So I was struggled to spot a discrepancy.

Or, doe "dramatically" mean more than half of all auto thefts were dropped? I checked its dictionary meaning "by a strikingly large amount or to a strikingly large extent; greatly."

Any comments or insights would be really helpful! Thanks.

How are others spending the home stretch before the test? I'm wondering what the best ways to maximize the last ten days are - focus on practice tests to simulate test day, review particular problem sets / problem types, review logic fundamentals, or something different. I've completed all of the core curriculum except for some of the RC problem sets, and am curious what others are finding most helpful in the build up to test day.

Hi all! I am really struggling with RC and am missing 5 to 10 questions in the section and need to strategize better. Does any one have any recommendations for improving? There was a very comprehensive post made by someone on RC strategies a few months ago but I cant find it. I mostly struggle with hard art history passages, and then science passages but usually the questions in the science passages are easier even when the passage might be harder to read. Do you recommend using any additional resources? and if you have used additional resources then when did you start seeing improvement? how long did you work on the RC section before seeing any improvement? any advice or suggestions will be really helpful!!

Trying to test my equipment in advance of the April LSAT and every time I refresh the system metrics page I just end up on the same page. I tested my equipment without issue in advance of the Feb exam and then on test day ProctorU couldn't access my camera. After two hours with their support I ended up having to reschedule.

I have a brand new laptop, am using Chrome, have cleared my cache, checked permissions, everything appears to be fine. I literally have no idea what the problem is. Wondering if anyone else has experienced similar frustrations and if so, were you able to fix the issue(s)?

Any tips/advice would be much appreciated as I'm honestly at a loss with this damn thing.

Thanks, all.

Do I need to schedule to take LSAT writing with ProctorU (like multiple choice section) or can I take it when I would like? LSAC recommends to take it as soon as possible but unsure if I can take whenever.

Hello! I am currently actively studying for the LSAT, prepping for August test. I’ve heard having study buddies can be extremely helpful for LSAT motivation, question reviews, and just performing better overall, so would love to find some likeminded people to add to a study group. Let me know if you are interested (thinking ~10 people is a good number), and I’ll start a GroupMe!

I did an equipment test while signing up this morning which resulted in :

Maximum RAM usage is 95%. Your current RAM usage is 99%.

I am taking the April 2021 LSAT on Saturday, April 10th... when should be the last day I take a practice test? I want to make sure I am not burnt out, but also do not want to take too many days off. Traditionally I have taken 2 PTs a week on Mondays and Thursdays. I took one today (PT 89) and left M20 to do next week. I was originally planning on doing it Monday, but should I push it back to Tuesday or Wednesday so that there are not too many days between my last PT and the my real test? Any advice/thoughts/other week of LSAT advice is much appreciated, as this is my first LSAT and want to make sure I am prepared while also not exhausting myself before the real thing!

Looking to form a small study group (5 - 10 People) who are in Central Time or willing to meet on Central Time.

Feel free to drop your email to the discussion and I will add you to a group.

The LSAC has announced that effective with the April administration of the LSAT-Flex, test takers will be required to schedule their testing day and time by 11:59 p.m. ET of the Thursday prior to the exam. For example, for the April LSAT-Flex, which begins on Saturday, April 10, scheduling will close at 11:59 p.m. ET on Thursday, April 8.

After that deadline passes, test takers could opt to request a date change for a future administration, but will not be able to schedule for the current exam.

if you already have a ProctorU account through LSAC, you can schedule your April FLEX now.

if this is your first test, you might have to wait for the email tomorrow. Not sure.

I may be over thinking this, but on certain games I am having a lot of trouble deciding what should be the base. For example, on game 4 from Prep Test 43, the game seemed significantly easier when I used the food trucks as the base and assigned X,Y,Z to each truck. On May 2020 Game 3, however, the game is much easier if you assign HMOTV to either the fall or spring group (rather than assigning F and S for a total of 6 times to HMOTV slots). How do you decide up front which variable set to make the base?

Hello,

does anyone want to be in a study group together?

I figure it will be helpful and motivating as well as holding each other accountable.

Send me a message with the word" Study Group"and your phone number and i will form a chat on whatsapp!

I am having the hardest time with this section. Can someone please help me understand. I understand the concept, but when it comes down to bridging the gap between the conclusion and premise its gets kind of difficult for me. When I come across problems that have a conclusion and premise that takes up about 2 lines how am I suppose to shorten and diagram it ??

So I just had a law school interview today, and I'd like to send a thank you note, but I can't find the interviewer's email address. Should I send a thank you to the general admissions office and address my interviewer by name? Or should I write something like "Dear Admissions Office" ? Any insight would be appreciated!

Deciding between two schools

SMU and FSU

I would rather prefer Texas but FSU would cost me about 65k less over three years ... when you add interest it comes out to more ... but SMU grads make on average a lot more money coming out

FSU cost of attendance ( $47000 on average per year)

SMU cost of attendance ($ 69,000 per year)

Here is the link to check to see if you have all the right components to the system you are using in order to have the system check on test day go smoothly. If everything checks out then I would not worry about it. If something is wrong there is a FAQ section that has many little tips and tricks to use to try and get all systems go, but if that does not work there is a link to connect to a representative of ProctorU to help figure out what is going on with your computer. On test day you will have to have the browser extension and microphone on and camera, and have some security features off, to allow ProctorU to proctor you. I am not sure if you need to have an account, but I signed out of my account and I am still able to test my equipment. i would also recommend using chrome as your browser (recommended by ProctorU) I have also heard problems with people using firefox and or safari, I am not sure if those problems still persist but I have heard of them.

Hi,

Could someone pls explain what the stimulus is saying and how is B a better(and correct) answer than B? None of the answers stuck out to me as actually addressing the gap in the stimulus and so I think I might have misunderstood the argument entirely.

Thanks in advance!

Hi folks,

I am currently preparing for my law school applications this fall/winter and dealing with the Letter of Recommendation part.

So far, I decided to apply for JD/MBA programs, and already found 2 recommenders from my professional environment with whom I've closely worked with in projects. Both know me well personally, we have an excellent relationship and I am sure that I will get excellent LORs from them. I also informed them regarding the fact that they should adjust the law-school-LORs so that there is a focus on my academic abilities (analytical, writing, reading skills etc.).

However, I found out that law schools generally prefer academic over professional recommendation letters. E.g. Harvard requires at least one academic LOR, and Yale explicitly states that they strongly prefer academic over professional LORs (even if applicant has been several years out of school).

Although it's only 1.5 years since I graduated, I don't feel very comfortable with having an academic source as my recommender. I have a Master's degree in engineering from a top US university, but that's precisely where I found out that I did not like this profession at all. It was a time where I suffered from a lot of anxiety, did not really participate in class and really struggled to keep pace in group projects. Therefore, I feel that, if any professor or instructor will be willing to provide me with a LOR, it will not be a very impressive one (and, worst case, it will have negative formulations and hurt my chances of being admitted).

Regarding my undergrad professors: it's been 2.5 years since my graduation, and it was a European mass university where students don't really get a chance to know their professors personally. I also had a very bad relationship with my thesis supervisor back then. Therefore, I don't think a recommender from undergrad would be helpful at all.

Do you think I should stick with my current recommenders from my professional environment for both JD and MBA part? Or should I also try to add at least one academic recommender to the JD part of my application, although it will probably be not an excellent one?

Hi all,

Is there a 7sage/other platform option to create a problem set with all of the questions you've gotten wrong? I want to foolproof for the Logic Games and review the questions I've gotten wrong for LR, but I'm having a hard time figuring out a way to do this easily. I wanted to know if I'm missing something. Thanks all!

Hi. I am taking the August LSAT for the first time. I am studying strictly with 7sage. Having no background in the LSAT I am working my way down in the 7sage curriculum from LR to RC. The study schedule made for my by 7sage says I should be dedicating 50 hours a week to core based on my test date but that is not feasible for me. I am still taking three college classes and working full time. I started studying 3 weeks ago and I am only 14% done with the core. I do not want to spend all my time on my core and not being able to take any practice tests. But I need to to learn the material. I got a 138 on my cold diagnostic without any prior LSAT studying and my goal is 160 by August. I try to spend 2-3 hours on core everyday. I feel like the curriculum is very in depth and I am not touching all 3 sections LR LG RC. I wont get to LG and RC until the very end of the curriculum and it is recommended to go through it in order. Not sure what to do and how to fix my studying style. Any suggestions

Quiz #4

The economist's statements, if true, most strongly support which one of the following?

The right answer is Most Strongly Supported.

Isn't it Strengthen?

As the title says the sign up begins at Noon Thursday April 1st. Plus they are adding a new feature where you can 'cross' off the Answer choices you don't want to see. It looks like it is the exact same as when you click the "x" on the ACs on 7Sage but instead of it being a "x" it is a "eye ball" looking thing.

Hi all!

I am planning to take the exam with my MacBook Air, but I heard from a friend who did the same last November that the experience was disastrous...Is it really that bad? Could someone share his/her experience? Thank you!
