I'm taking the January test and looking to book a hotel.

What kind/type of hotels would be great for the test?

Title

Are we taking the test on proctor u or are we taking the test on the law hub site ?

Hi All!!

I'm taking the January Flex on Tuesday and with only a few days till test day, I'm second guessing my chances!! My ugpa is 3.95, but I averaged 156 (scared this might be lower on test day) on the last three preptests. Will my higher gpa help make up for my score not being as high as some of my preferred schools' averages? I realize not applying until February also decreases my chances, but what are my chances of getting accepted AND decent scholarships from schools like Michigan State, Wayne State, Richmond, and Villanova? My goal is be to accepted to Wayne State with a really good scholarship!! Is this a far-fetched dream with how late I'm applying??

ALSO, if anyone has school recommendations for me please let me know!! Good luck to everyone taking the Flex this week :)

Last LSAT I took was a nightmare with my proctor. I made sure to tell my proctor that I am home alone, that I left my turned-ff phone in another room, and kindly requested I not get interrupted during the exam. I basically wanted to do what I could to avoid a horror story.

My proctor only chatted with me–I did not think anything of it.

During LG, she couldn't see my chin so she messaged me. I had a flashing box on the lower-right hand corner of my screen and had to click on it to open it. I adjusted my face and continued writing on my scrap paper. A second later I got another flashing and her message was a thank you. Again, I got interrupted and had to X-out of the chat box. At this point I got annoyed but contained myself and continued working. Then I got a smiley face! I shouted, "please stop interrupting me!" I might have been rude but at that point she threw me off focus for silly things and I made sure I was clear at the start to avoid interruptions.

I apologized at the end of the exam but I did not need 'thank you's' and smiley faces during my LSAT.

If I get another proctor who wants to just 'chat', can I request a different proctor? Maybe I am being a bit over but I really do not want to get thrown off my game again. Then again I heard of proctor's that forgot to mute themselves. >.((/p)

Any advice would be appreciated.

My takeaway: Keep your chin up.

I am hoping to submit apps sometime in the next week. I haven't spent a minute thinking about my resume until now because it's relatively inconsequential when compared to other factors. Also, I'm a few years out of college and have switched jobs so I already have one drafted. The problem I am running into with my "law school resume" is that I have what I believe to be relevant experiences from undergrad and I'm not sure how to include them such that it is 1) easy to follow and 2) recent work experience and older college community involvement both shine. Can someone look at my resume and critique my organization (and provide any other general feedback/criticism that you may have)?

Thanks!

My scores in each section have been:

LG: -3

LR: -12 - (-8) (-10 average)

RC: -12 - (-8) (-10 average)

Consistently my performance in LG has been -3, By coincidence, I typically guess 3 questions on each of them. So I have horrible luck at guessing and my error is from lack of speed.

I did notice if I take longer time per question, it's typically at grouping questions, especially grouping w/ repeated items.

I also run out of time at LR and RC, where I guess 3-5 questions in each. I usually get -12 - (-8) (average of -10) in each section, where very rarely my guesses are correct.

I need a score in the 160s to be admitted to the law schools I applied to . This seems within reach if I just solve my lack of time issue, turning my scores in each section to roughly -1, -7, -7, respectively.

With only 5 days left until my LSAT write, what are the best ways to improve?

Looking for a pretty challenging exam to gauge worst scenario situations and hone my testing strategy

Wanted to get some opinions on how you all approach MSS questions. I feel like I am getting these wrong often because I am struggling to piece together all the information in such a short period of time (especially on the science ones/things I am not familiar with). How do you all approach these questions to ensure quick reading comprehension? Do you always draw a diagram? Also, any general tips on quick elimination would be helpful.

I am taking the LSAT- Flex next Tuesday. Though I have scored a 165 on PTs, since then I have been scoring dramatically low for my standards (150s). I think this is because of my anxiety and overthinking. I have been approved for accommodations, but my brain still isn't making this easy. In other words, I know I can do well, but am I getting in my own way/ how do I stop that?? Please help :( I am very stressed

Anyone have confidence boosting strategies before the test? Like maybe a good test to take or games or psychological strategies or something?

I completed all Core Curriculum including and up to "Main Point and Conclusion." When I tried to go back and rewatch the videos from "Main Point and Conclusion," I can no longer access them or even see them in my syllabus. Is it normal that once you complete a section it disappears? Please let me know if you have the same issue or if I am missing something.

Does anyone know if we can wear earplugs for this January LSAT flex ?

Did anyone find the LR on PT 84 extremely difficult??

I already took the LSAT twice in the past year, once in June (162) and once again in August (164). I was scheduled to take it again In November but decided to post-pone it until January. Admittedly, Master's applications and end-of-term finals got the best of me, so I only started up studying again in January. I am a Canadian school applicant, so my cGPA and B3 is 3.80.

I have already been accepted to a law school, however my dream school has a LSAT 25th percentile of 163, a median lsat of 166 and a 75th percentile of 167, and a GPA 25th percentile of 3.77, median of 3.86, and a 75th percentile of 3.91, which is why I have been considering retaking the LSAT so many times as I do recognize that I am in their lower percentile. However, I do not want to have a third attempt on file without a significant increase (as in 167+) since I have heard this does not look good for this score and would want to save a third and final-ish attempt in the case that I decide to defer going to law school for another year, which would give me more time to study for a third attempt.

I have been pt-ing on average around 164-166 with a consistent average BR of 172-176. Though my two last pt’s were 163 and 159 (May 2020 and PT88 killed me! What was that LR and what was that RC???). Considering the January LSAT is next week for me and today’s the last day to withdraw, do you think it is worth retaking? I don’t want to risk having a lower or similar score as my last attempt.

my BR is showing me that there is a very likely potential to score in the high 160s, low 170s range if I just recognize the support a little better in the allotted time. but obviously I am not sure whether I can reasonably expect myself to suddenly improve that in a couple of days. though I can try, I suppose. this would be my last attempt to improve my score for the 2021 cycle. so that’s why I think an attempt would not be worth it if it’s not at least 3 points higher.

any insight would be much appreciated! Thanks!!

Hi everyone,

Hi everyone,

I am about to retake the LSAT in January and am hoping for a higher score than the first time I took it in July. 7Sage has helped me a lot. When I am practicing and drilling questions, I get a lot of them right. When I go to take a timed practice test, I seem to have hit a brick wall with my score, but I know I am capable of getting higher. Does anyone have any last minute advice on how to get past this mental block? Thanks so much!!

I haven't started anything with RC , I wanted to nail down LR first in hopes that it would my RC in general.

Any suggestions on how to tackle RC? 7Sage method ? PSB ? Reading a dense passage every night ?

My 4 month subscription doesn't expire until Feb 20, however, when I try to access the videos to old notes I get the error: "Sorry, this material isn't included in your course. Have you considered upgrading?" Does anyone know how to fix this? I take my LSAT next week!!!

Hi,

I have some question on In/out games regarding chaining, probably will take 15-30 minutes to explain to me, I just don't get it from JY, willing to pay for someones time via zoom. Thank you.

I keep getting sent to my syllabus in the middle of completing my Prep Test. I did an internet speed test, and my speed looks good. With the Jan 2021LSAT coming up, I am assuming there is just a lot of people on this website right now that are trying to complete the same Prep Tests. Is this something you all are experiencing as well? (it is good practice for the actual test, which may get disconnected from the proctor!)

Hi,

I went to continue to work through the main point section today and it seems to have disappeared. Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

Hey folks, I'm wondering if its okay to be reading outloud on the LSAT flex. I know there will be a proctor etc. so I don't see why you wouldn't be able to read an RC passage or LR stimuli outloud as long as you're alone in the room you're testing in. But I know this has been an issue for proctored college exams and other standardized tests so I am just curious if it also applies to the LSAT.

I just started 7Sage at the beginning of this week so I'm still familiarizing myself with the site, but I was in the middle of the Main Point/Conclusion lesson when I clicked next and it suddenly said I didn't have that subscription? And now my syllabus does not even have that lesson on it, even though I paid for the monthly Ultimate+. Did anyone else have this problem/ know how to help?

Hello, I have recently just started my studying and wanted to over the material of Main Point questions that are early in the logic section but now they will not show up unless I go to my notes. When I go the notes section and click on the link for a starred MP question, it says I do not have the plan for this material even though I just went over it. My plan is monthly by the way.
