Does anybody know (or have a guess) if LSAC is planning to keep the FLEX throughout 2021 or after April Flex will actually go back to the 4 hour exam?

I'm just trying to figure out if it's worth practicing all four sections + an experimental

Hi 7sagers, I'm looking for 2-3 study buddies to drill RC detail retention. This uses a drill method from LSAT Hacks website: basically we time each other when reading a passage. After reading, one person asks the other about main point of each paragraph and tests randomly selected details in the passage, such as where the details locate and purpose of the detail. Then the role alternates. This should be helpful for people who have done most passages and look for increasing RC speed/retention. This should take about 1-1.5 hour per session.

Some background info: I'm based in the UK (had a 170 from october Flex and hope to break into 175+ in Jan). If you're interested in serious studying for similar goals and trying out this RC drill, please feel free to pm me. Best of luck to everyone!

I think it would help me with my stress and focus on the exam if I can read passage out loud . But is it permissible?

After reading this stimulus, I thought the author was assuming the dire wolves were trapped in the tar pits while hunting and scavenging. Is that correct? I was confused about the use of language in answer choice D; what does most frequently actually mean? I tried negating it and it still didn't strike me as correct? Is "most frequently" synonymous with typically or usually?

Help.

So I was meeting with one of my LOR writers yesterday and they informed me that they will not be able to have my LOR completed until the first week of January (the 4th). Is waiting these extra 2.5 weeks something that will negatively impact my application? I was originally planning to request a hold until my January LSAT anyway so I don't think it would really affect when it would be read.

Hi everyone.

I understand this is an incredibly competitive cycle but does anyone know if this is the case for P/T programs as well? I get that people are working from home and it makes it much easier for a student to study for the LSAT-hence all the score spikes, but honestly it is much harder for me to be able to study as a mother to a toddler. I am a part-time applicant for that reason and so I am wondering if anyone has any insight.

Thank you and best of luck with everyone studying/waiting for schools to respond!

OK guys. I got into a very respectable school in my hometown. I visited and love it. I can live at home and commute, plus i was given a great scholarship. Long story short, I could go to law school for very cheap and not have to worry about living expenses. What do you guys think? Is it hard to live at home? Is it worth it to incur more debt to go somewhere else and live on my own? Any opinions would be appreciated! Thanks!

Why is the answer B and not C?

What is the best strategy for the final month? Looking for as much detail as possible.

Hi, I'm currently scoring in the mid 150s with hopes of getting 165+. I have been studying here and there on and off but have been trying to get on track so I can up my score. Looking for 5-10 people who would be interested in keeping each other accountable and reviewing tests on a weekly basis and maybe sections on a daily basis. Let me know if anyone is interested!

I decided sort of late in the game that now would be a good time to go to law school. I registered for the October 2020 test in July. I got a 167 on my diagnostic test. I studied with Magoosh (because I had a great experience with them on the GRE) but I was working full time at a restaurant trying to make as much money as possible before we shut down again so I really didn't study as much as I should have. I got a 168 on the October Flex. I felt that given that I had done well without much studying, I could re-take, really apply myself, and have a good shot at getting above 170.

I signed up for 7Sage and when I'm doing the lessons I feel like I'm learning a lot. Lots of ah ha moments. However, I've now taken three prep tests on 7Sage and scored 163, 164, and 165 respectively. On Blind Review on the first two I got a 170, but the last one I was honestly so discouraged I got kind of lazy on Blind Review and only got my score to a 168. I am so frustrated. I'm spending a lot of time studying and I've gotten significantly worse. It's KILLING my confidence and I am afraid to take the LSAT in January because I went from feeling great about it to feeling hopeless. I took prep tests July-Sept on the LSAC site and scored between 165-168. I'm wondering if the 7Sage format has something to do with it? I can't understand how I've gotten so much worse.

I've focused a lot of my time on 7Sage on LR because I felt I had the most room for improvement there, but I'm seeing no improvement and now LG is suffering. I'm kicking myself for delaying my apps when I could have applied with the 168, but please don't pile on in this regard telling me what I should have done. I really thought I was making the best call at the time based on the information I had (including my success up to that point).

Any advice?

Looking for one extremely dedicated accountability partner who is registered to take the April exam and can dedicate 5 plus hours every weekend. Please let me know if that person is you. 🙂

Does anyone else's videos keep going down to 1x after choosing another speed? I have to repeatedly click 2x every 1-2 seconds.

I don't know if it's a glitch or just my computer. If it's just me, how can I fix this?

Any LSAT tutors live in the Hudson Valley, NY or Albany NY, or someone who lives in Westchester, NY.

I'm registered for January but I might cancel because I've invested over a year on my life in this LSAT to study to settle for anything less than 170. My PTs are very inconsistent; the last 3 have been 171, 154 (I damn near died) and 169. Reading comp. and LR are my issue. I can do any game you put in front of me in my sleep.

I've switched study habits and training for skill (the overkill route lol)- I can spend a good hour doing 5 questions. I'm looking for a few people who are willing to commit and ride through with me until test day. Please, only consider if you're able to devote the time.

I posted this before but no one commented so I was wondering if there was a way to see explanation videos for substituted conditions in logic games? Or just some general help with them? I don't know how to answer them.

How do I become consistent in LR, when I do untimed and BR I get upwards of 4 wrong but sometimes I get 8 wrong when its timed. How do I bridge this gap and not lose my accuracy? Not restricted to any one question type.

I was smoking pot in my dorm with friends when I set the smoke detector off, unfortunately, this being my second offense (first got me probation) I got suspended for the remainder of the semester. One week later they began sending everyone home because of the pandemic. Maybe I made a mistake but I don't think this should be one that haunts me into law school. Since I got suspended I have actually gotten my hands on a medical marijuana card, something that maybe I can mention in my application to soften it a bit? Thanks folks.

I am not kidding. I am looking for maxiumum 3 other people who know they have the ability to reach 180 like me and will stop at nothing to reach it (or very close). I want to be hitting 177+ consistently on PTs before I even think about registering.

Group will be mainly extremely detailed and in-depth LR discussion and review and some RC too. Review 2 LR + 1 RC section/week although for this score range obviously we will probably only be looking at the most difficult questions. I spent an entire 35 minutes by myself on one LR problem today, but again, these questions are the ones that the 75% correct bar stops at 180. For people in this range I feel the time would be wasted talking about too many lower difficulty questions. I'm on pacific time.

Hey guys! I’m currently a junior in college getting ready to take on the LSAT probably around the time of May-July and applying to schools in the fall. Diagnostic was a 149, goal is 165! Anyone in a similar boat looking for some study buddies/group chat, etc?

I simply cannot improve my score. I have taken the LSAT before (twice) and scored 148 and 149. I used other resources to study (Kaplan). I signed up for 7sage because I know some people that took it and they highly recommended it. I used to watch the logic game videos when they were on youtube. Regardless, I have completed my core curriculum, and have begun to take full prep tests.

I have done 3 prep tests so far and completed the blind review as well. I literally scored 147, 149, 149 on my timed runs and scored 154, 159, 159 on blind review.

Any advice here? I cannot tell what is keeping me down.

After how many practice tests did you begin to notice an improvement in your score?

Keep in mind, I run my own business, so I do work long hours. My study schedule thus far has been this... Timed test on Sunday, Blind Review Monday, then Tuesday to Friday I review each section individually, and I take a break on Saturday.

I was able to narrow it down to B and D, but I am struggling to figure out why B is wrong?

I'm applying to the JDP program so I don't really know how the LSAC GPA is calculated yet (hopefully I get in and don't have to worry about it lol). If a low grade for a class I repeated is not included on my official college transcript but the new one is, does the LSAC count the original class in addition to the other one? Or is it only counted if both grades appear on my official transcript?

Also wondering if I'm in fighting shape for T10s still if my GPA drops a bit. For reference, my GPA now is 3.71, but with the C factored in I have a 3.68. kinda stressed :(

Hey guys, does anyone use discord to pass information along in an easier way? If anyone is interested, let's start one!

Hi everyone! My diagnostic was a 149 and I'm at 158/159 after 2 months of really light and minimal studying but I've been hitting a plateau the last 2 tests. My goal is a 164-166 range (but obviously higher is great). I'm not planning on taking the test until April or summer so I know I'm ahead, but with a full time job this is easier. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone who is in the mid to high 150s and whose goal is mid to high 160s wants to start a study group! Idc when you plan to take the test! I'm also open to suggestions on how to best execute this like meeting virtually or just chatting, etc. If you're interested leave an email in the comments. Hope to hear from some of you :)
