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.

I am currently fool-proofing PT1-35. Although I am seeing the repetitive nature of the games, I still feel like I am not being as efficient as I could be. I do about 4 games a day and space out it out depending on how I do on each trial. What are your foolproof strategies? Do you breakdown the games in sets, by types, or any other strategies. Although my LR is not the best (-10), my real problem right now is the games and would like to have them down. I have faith in the foolproof method and understand that it might take a while, but I want to do it in an affective manner. All advice is welcomed, thanks!

I came to post this question and noticed that someone just posted a very similar question a few minutes ago. That said, I feel my question is sufficiently (y'all see that LSAT language creeping in) different to still go ahead and post it up.

For background, I have never completed an LG section under timed conditions.

I wonder, for those of you who have overcome the same dilemma, do you have any tips that seemed to bridge the gap between Finishing and Not Finishing the LG section. I often get through only 11-12 questions, so needless to say my score is a disaster.

I write this partially because I had the same issue with RC and LR sections until very, very recently. What helped me was to realize there is almost no possibility to take the foot off the gas on this test, and instead to just go all out flooring it at blazing speed (probably 2-3x beyond my max "comprehensible" reading speed). Which actually gave me a lot of confidence and seems to have helped my score at least in the short term. My analogy is like getting on a fast-moving highway: there's no room at all to slow down.

For LG I can't use the same approach, because there is literally no way to go faster without first at least trying to figure out what's going on. Put differently, in LG the questions are more "symbolic" in nature, vs just purely dense linguistically. So like without being able to formulate and organize the symbols properly, there's no way to speed up. Meanwhile, I find myself taking too long to diagram, too long to analyze each question, and often, just getting totally lost in there. The analogy is, I need to get onto the highway, but halfway up the on-ramp, I realize one tire is totally flat.... Meanwhile there is a car speeding by!!! (I guess that would be the car that y'all are in!!!) So my confidence is pretty deflated on this front. But I am trying to keep it positive!!! Especially since the January LSAT is the last possible test for this application cycle for my target school. And I cannot get the necessary (LSAT language again) score while leaving half the LG section with pure guesses. Please help if you find it in your heart to do so!!!!!!!!! God bless!!!!!!!!!!

Hi I am trying to sign up for the ultimate+ course and I'm seeing that it requires an LSAT prep plus for another 100 bucks. Can I not access the material unless I have the prep plus thing?

Where can I get PT 90/ the May 2020 LSAT Flex? Is it on 7sage? Have explanations been written for it yet? I can't seem to find it in my course syllabus.

If time is no issue, I get 80-100% of the questions correct. On an actual LSAT or a PT, I tend to run out of time with approx. 3-5 questions remaining, causing me to guess them.

When doing Problem Sets ("PS"): The first time I do a given PS, I do poorly. The second and thereafter, I get 80-100% of the questions correct - even if I don't come back to the same problems for a considerable amount of time. The problem is on an actual LSAT, I obviously won't have experienced the questions before.

What is the best method to improve my performance in LG at this point? To grind new PTs (which are a limited resource), or to re-do old Problem Sets?

Hi 7Sagers!

I am looking for advice regarding the best way to boost my score for a retake.

I was planning to apply for the 2021 cycle but have decided to wait, partially so I can apply ASAP for the next cycle to increase chances at admission/scholarships and partially because my LSAT score isn't quite where I want it to be/believe it can be.

Some background:

Since making the decision to wait a cycle, I have pushed my Jan test to April (would be open to pushing it to May if that's an option & is flex) with a goal of 165+ and am now wondering what is the best way for me to prepare during these next few months - focus on whole PTs? Do the core curriculum? Do a combination of the two at the same time? I'm worried that if I focus too much time on the curriculum, I am just delaying practicing my skills & will have less time ultimately to do PTs; on the other hand, it seems that the curriculum might be important in strengthening my foundation.

I want to feel as confident as possible going into the next LSAT and would love any suggestions you all have for how to best approach studying this time around!

P.S. I do work full-time in case that changes anything.

Thank you!

I just don't feel like taking it. I want to lie to myself that I have no limit by not taking cold diagnostic test.

Any opinions?

How is "homelessness as a social problem" compatible to accepting/denying the conclusion?

Hi what would you guys recommend for reading faster ?

Hi everyone! I am looking for people interested in studying together/holding each other accountable, etc. specifically for the 2021 Summer LSAT dates. My goal is 165+. Here is the link for a group me I created if you are interested!

https://groupme.com/join_group/65317666/xGC44pw3

Is anyone else finding the LR sections of the 80s PTs drastically harder? I cannot figure out what is happening here.. Is this indicative of the January 2021 test, if so this might be highly problematic for me.

I am unsure what to do, and if you guys can give me advice I would really appreciate it!

So I am registered to write the January LSAT, which is in a few days. I wasn’t able to study enough because I work two jobs and other family responsibilities! I am scoring in the 140s and I have already applied to two good law schools in Canada (UofT and Queens) and plan to apply in the states. Should I defer the exam and write it in April and withdrawal the applications for Canada? Or should I write it and if I score that bad the day of the exam I can rewrite it again ?

Also, I am unfamiliar with the American applications but is it possible to apply in February 2021 and write the exam in March 2021 and still get in for fall 2021? I really want to start this year!

I got accepted to UConn today, and it's Sunday. Who knew that was possible?

With about a few days remaining, it should be said that the actual testing interface is not identical to the 7Sage practice test interface. Go poke around your LawHub account and do some questions in there. That is the environment the test will replicate.

So I had a personal statement and after going over it with one of my professors I decided to bascially change directions and right a new one. Would anyone be able to read it and offer any feedback on grammar, flow, etc?

When do you do the writing sample? I'm taking the LSAT Flex on Sunday, but don't really understand the writing section at all.

I am struggling to make a problem set if I want to add LR,LG and RC. Is anyone else having this problem or know how to fix it. I just want to make a small multiple section quiz for myself. Any help would be great!

So after getting a 176 and 175 on two PTs (81 and 86) I took 75 as a flex and got... a 168. I tanked on RC (-6) and also did fairly bad on LR for what I've been scoring (-3). Bright spot was a -1 on LG but overall it was not great. I this is tied for my worst RC score (I also got -6 on PT 70 a few weeks) and I'm sort of deflated even though I'm aware that I'm probably more likely to get -2 or -3 on RC since that's what I usually get. I feel like I've neglected RC and honestly 7sage's methods don't help me. I've been listening to the Powerscore podcast and I've considered buying the RC bible and cramming it before Sunday. However, I'm worried about a) burn out and b) that I'm overreacting. I don't know if there was anything off about this PT although I might have gotten overconfident after hitting those high scores. Should I take more PTs before Sunday? The Powerscore podcast says no because a bomb might put me into a spin (already kind of happened).

This was a mess of a post but any insight would be super helpful

Hey all,

I will be taking the Flex next Tuesday and understand that soft foam earplugs are allowed. I will be taking advantage of this because I have been studying with ear plugs but had a few questions, as I want my test to go smoothly.

In LSAC's guidelines they say ear plugs are allowed so long as you can hear the proctor, this shouldn't be an issue as I can usually hear myself typing but during a timed test that requires extreme focus, I'm just trying to avoid any fuss.

If anyone else has advice or suggestions regarding proctors or the flex please don't hesitate to leave it below for myself or someone else. Thanks and good luck everyone!

I started out my studying by focusing on LR and LG and seem to be doing alright on them. I didn't spend any time on RC because I thought how hard can it be. But now that I am doing Prep tests it is by far my worst section and brings my whole score down by quite alot. I find alot of the questions are so detail oriented and I'm just focusing on the main point and trying to retain whatever information I can. Even when I start a Prep Test now and see RC as my first section it ruins the entire flow of my exam because I know I'm doing horribly at it. Does anyone else find RC hard or is it just me??

The contact number I have for LSAC doesn't work. Is there currently a way to contact LSAC by phone?

Hi everyone,

I am not taking anymore PTs so I do not get burnt out but would like to continue doing sections and BRing. I heard that LSAC will be using 'older' non-disclosed LSATs but does anyone which PTs would be most similar to January expectations?

I also remember the Powerscore podcast from November making predictions but not sure if they are applicable to January.

Good luck to everyone and thank you 7sagers.

I have done so many MSS questions and I am continuing to always get them wrong. Even easy ones. I feel like there isn't a great lesson on how to really execute MSS questions. With Must be True types, we can "fact check" and with other types there are ongoing reasoning structures that we can rely on. With MSS, I feel like they are so ambiguous. I always get to the last two answer choices and then guess wrong. With MSS, there so many ways to reason out of the right answer choices. Any good advice on how to tackle MSS? Thanks!

Hi all! I'm taking the LSAT Flex on Saturday and am curious about how cleaned out/empty your testing room must be? Of course I've gone over the rules and requirements, but should the room be totally empty? Anyone have experience with proctors giving them a hard time? Desk space will be completely clear but I will have a filing cabinet behind me, a few pieces of furniture, etc.
