Hey guys! I was hoping to find a study group to help keep me accountable. I am currently working towards the February test, and was looking to do a zoom/skype group.

I'm located in Washington state

With just about a month and a half to re-prepare for the exam, what is the best way to study to push past my August Flex score? Open to any and all suggestions!

I am currently registered for the October LSAT but switch my registration to the November exam. Does anyone know how to do that in the LSAC account?

Hi, does anyone know why LSAC cannot be reach out by phone? I tried several times, none of them work...

I took the LSAT Flex in June and wasn't used to the format. Is there a way we can take the practice tests in this format to get used to it?

Hello,

I am registered for the LSAT Flex on October 3rd. I have read that the test will either be on that saturday, sunday, tuesday, or thursday. But does anyone know when LSAC will let us know exactly what day/time we are assigned to? Im confused as to whether I should be expecting something from them, and if so when? Any information would greatly help! Thanks :)

Hello! I took the August FLEX test and decided I would like to keep that score for my applications. I am registered for October (as this was my first LSAT, I had no idea what to expect), but would like to withdraw so I can spend more time on my essays and maintaining my GPA.

If I was to withdraw, does the fact I registered for October appear anywhere on my transcript? I have received one email for a school already wishing me luck on the October test, so I'm aware that the information is out there. However, when my app is reviewed by the admissions officers, does the October registration appear anywhere?

Thank you very much!

I started the core curriculum in June and finished it just about a week and a half ago. I took a PT for the first time since my diagnostic which was several months ago and only scored 4 points higher, which is baffling to me. I did almost all of the problem sets on the LR CC (would skip some if I felt like I truly got it), and genuinely couldn't believe I was at roughly the same score in the mid 140s still several months later.

I started to run out of time near the end and skipped through fool-proofing all of the logic games in the CC. I was only able to fool proof the first two sets of sequencing games problems, the first two sets of in/out games problems and only one of the grouping games. I was able to grasp the general concepts in the beginning of both of Sequencing + In/Out in the syllabus, but when the curriculum starts diving into Sequencing games w/ a twist and in/out games with sub-categories, I am lost.

I guess now I don't know what to do. I absorbed what I believed to be a significant amount of information for LR, but got almost an identical score to my diagnostics. RC is my best section. I am hoping to test in November which is approx 6 weeks away but have no idea how to pull off the remainder of my studying.

One immediate thought that comes to mind is to drill the questions I get incorrectly the most utilizing the question analysis type tool until my accuracy is 100%. Another I have in mind is to take several practice tests a week and BR each one? I didn't focus much on RC because I felt it was already very intuitive for me. I'm not sure if it's even worth drilling compared to the other sections right now. I have some books like the LR loophole and the LSAT trainer that I didn't use much and considered reviewing to supplement my LR..? How many PT's should I even be taking weekly from now until then? Is it worth reading other books or just reviewing 7sage?

I apologize if this sounds desperate I'm just very anxious knowing my score isn't what at all I thought it'd be by now and the stress has jumped several levels. I don't even need a 180, I just want to at least get to the higher 150's as my goal score. If someone could recommend a gameplan here I would appreciate any and all insight as I'm being pulled in different directions on what to do.

Thank you all.

Hi everyone :)

To keep it short, I took the July LSAT-Flex exam and experienced multiple Internet outages and proctor interruptions. For some reason, I decided not to cancel my score and ended up with a 158, well below my PT average. By August, I invested in an ethernet cable to fix my spotty internet and had a much better proctor situation. Ended up with a 170, within my average. Should I write an addendum explaining a 12 point jump in 2 months? If so, should I basically just say I had technical issues, fixed them, and now my score reflects what I can do?

I’m currently scheduled for the October LSAT but after much consideration I’ve decided to postpone for the November test. Per the LSAC website, test date changes must be made through my account but I’m not sure what I should be looking for and how to complete the process. The test date reschedule deadline is Friday so, any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I have a quick question that hopefully someone may be able to answer:

I have the exact median score for 3 schools on my list. I know that (all else being equal), being "above" the median LSAT greatly improves chance for admissions and being "below" can be a tough obstacle to overcome.... what about people in my situation? For background, I am slightly above median GPA for two of these schools and about .1 below median GPA for the other.

Thanks so much!

I could improve my score by the time of the November LSAT, so I'm thinking of pushing my October LSAT back. However, I'm afraid this would put me in the later end of the law school application cycle and that my acceptance chances would diminish. Does anyone have any advice on this? Thanks!

Hi, I wonder if the Aug lsat count to the seven times test taking limit?

Hey everyone, I planned on purchasing the Ultimate+ month by month course but was wondering what the Bundle Prep Plus is and if it is worth adding to my purchase? Does it provide anything else worth purchasing? Thanks everyone!

Hello, guys would anyone like to start a small group chat focused around preparing for the November 2020 LSAT or any exams at later date this year (i.e January or February). Definitely would like to start a small group chat with around 8-10 where we can bounce ideas off of one another and seek guidance.

If you think this may be something of interest please comment below with your email information and I'll be sure to coordinate accordingly.

Thank you !

"What is the best strategy to take notes on RC during the LSAT Flex? How do I keep track of what passage or word I am referring to in the notes if I write it in a scratch paper?"

Hey!

I recently took the LSAT and am starting the application process. I wanted to reach out to one of the law professors in the department I'm interested in at my number 1 school to try and get more information about the program/any application or admission tips, but I'm not sure how to approach it and write the email.

Does anyone have experience with contacting professors like this, and if so, how did you do it? Also, does it reflect negatively on me if I am reaching out to a professor before I have even applied?

I saw on the lsac website that we could receive a voucher for a future lsat if we opted too. Does anyone know how to go about asking for a voucher? This is the number listed on the LSAC website 215.968.1001but every time I call I get a busy tone... Is anyone else having this same issue?

Hi everyone.

I graduated from my degree granting institution with latin honors (summa cum laude) but I was a transfer, and my cumulative GPA with my other institution is definitely not that. Summa cum laude is on my resume because it's written on my diploma, but since LSAC has calculated a different GPA, I feel weird putting that on my apps and law school resume, although they do ask for honors and awards... Any suggestions on what I should do?

I still don't have a writing portion done on the lsat, I was wondering if anyone had any tips, or helpful videos for doing this portion.

This is not LSAT/Law School related but I thought I'd ask here to see if anyone has any thoughts. I am applying to Boston College School of Social Work so I can hopefully do a dual MSW/JD. Under the Work Experience section it asks you to list professional, volunteer, or teaching experience. I'm wondering if since this is all it asks for on the application if on my resume I should also omit retail/restaurant experience. Thanks!

I was running on average of 158 on my practice tests, but woke up Friday to see a 154 on my August 2020 LSAT Flex. Needless to say, I'm disappointed. I have an LSAC fee waiver, so I've already gone ahead and signed up for the November exam. I'm wondering two things:

a) Should I cancel my 154 with score preview and apply early with my LSAC applications indicating that I'm retaking in November or should I KEEP the 154 score on my file with the indication that I'm retaking in November? I know that either way they won't review it until the new score comes through, but I feel this anxiety about waiting until literally late November to send the applications, and there's always the chance that I could bomb the November test even worse. It may be irrational, but I can't get it out of my head. Hopefully that makes sense.

b) Perhaps more importantly, does anyone have any general tips for retaking? I studied for months before the August test, and saw myself improve drastically from a 150 on my first prep test. I know I'm cutting it close buckling down on studying to retake in November, but I do already have months of practice behind me. The problem is that I clearly didn't do it right the first time. I am really strong in Reading Comprehension, fairly strong in Logical Reasoning, but consistently struggling with Logic Games. I just can't seem to crack them, no matter how much I practice. I'm pretty sure I missed every single answer on one of the Logic Games on the August exam.

That was lengthy, I know, but if anyone has any tips, I'd appreciate it.

I've been drilling PT 35-end, I'm currently almost at 50, but I've struck a string of just not very challenging games, or at most 1 challenging game per section. I eyeballed the difficulty based on 7sage rating, and a lot of these games have 2/5 difficulty with maybe one having 3 or 4/5. This rating is mostly consistent for the most recent PT's (with exception of the awful flower game section).

I guess what I'm asking or what I may inevitably find out is are more recent games either significantly different or harder than those in the 40's or 50's? I almost feel like I'm wasting my time drilling 40's and 50's given that they all seem not very challenging.

When I did PT 66 Game 1, the last rule was confusing:

"J must meet on an earlier day of the week than O."

Why is it not "J _ O" but it is JO, since it said: AN earlier day?

Thank you

"I have a strange question and some unique circumstances, and I would appreciate your discernment. I am an active duty air force officer, and I purchased the premium package last year (planning on testing this past spring and fall).

Here's the meat of my question- when should I plan to prep for the LSAT? I want to devote at least 6-12 months preparing rigorously, but I chose not to do that this year as soon as I found out I couldn't apply for this fall. My fear is that I will prep for 12 months, rock the lsat, only to have a score I can't use for another 7 years (therefore making it irrelevant).

My premium membership I was grandfathered into expires next week, and I do not know whether to extend, choose to prep for a year, test, and save my scores for 5 years, or if I am better off losing my membership, and restarting once I receive career-field release.

Do you have any thoughts on this? Will a score that is 3 or 4 years old look bad?"
