Too late to take the January LSAT & apply for Fall 21 Admission in Feb? Higher score later > Lower score earlier?

Anyone else in the same situation?

I had RC-LR-LG. RC was easy-ish, except for the third game which was 8 questions long, unfortunately. LR felt extremely easy; the only thing that slightly tripped me up was repeated letter answers. In my opinion, LG was above average difficulty, unlike the suspiciously easy October LG.

Wondering if the difficulty of the LSAT affects the scaled score. Does anyone know the answer to this?

Congratulations to everyone who took the test and good luck to those testing later this week (3(/p)

On Sunday, of all days, a tropical storm hit my neighborhood. On the first two sections of the LSAT my internet kept disconnecting, losing me precious time on LR and RC. I am already panicked and, not having a proper flex experience, my electricity turns off (including wifi). I had to break policy by reaching for my phone to connect to my hotspot and report to my proctor. They said I should be fine to take another November date but the LSAC personnel said to wait a few days for options.

Do you think I should go ahead with the writing portion at least? Also if they only let me redo the last section and not the prior 2 (which I would rather just redo it all due to complications) or cancel to instead take the January exam, which do you think is the better option? Please lmk!

Hey y'all. I am starting to work on applications in addition to studying to retake my test in Jan. I'm a non-traditional student, working 50+ hrs a week so time is not on my side. But I also don't have anyone to go to for questions/advice in the application process. Are there any resources you'd recommend to get through the application process without having a mental breakdown :)

I'm writing for the November Flex and I went on the LSAC website under the "LSAT writing" tab, and do not see where I can sign up for the writing section etc. Can someone help?

That's all. I think I blew it with RC yesterday and won't get the score I need to offset my mediocre GPA

It's a weakening question. I don't understand why answer is D.

Answer choice is saying the ordinary crop doesn't contain drug. But according to stimulus, after pollination, the ordinary crop may produce drug-producing crop, therefore drug may end up in food supply. Answer choice D doesn't weaken this argument.

I was indecisive between E and B. But I couldn't think of an explanation of D is the right answer. HELPP~

Looking for serious individuals to join for a study group to prepare for the 2021 April Lsat flex

I'm looking into two schools but one of them I'm not entirely sure I will get into (I have yet to break 150 on a PT, I've only gotten a 150 in BR and I take exam in JAN, fml). Anyway, there's one school that I'm not entirely sold on because it's a T4 (Widener Law) but I sense that I can get manage to get into it (MAYBEEEEEE) but, I'd love to go to Drexel Law. Assuming I get into Widener and not Drexel, what are you thoughts on transferring after 1L? I've been wanting to go to law school since 2018 and here I am, REALLY TRYING STILL...thoughts?

So I'm about halfway through my RC section, when my screen goes completely blank. I'm thinking "what just happened?". I reach out to my proctor -- they say something along the lines of "just reconnect". I refresh the page and it reconnects. I've lost time. I ask my proctor for time back and they shoot back "continue".

I try to collect myself and deal with the situation. A few minutes later, my proctor interrupts me saying they need to take control of my computer to reconnect the video. This takes a while. Once again, time ticks away and I don't get it back. This was my 2nd section. I was absolutely shook. I barely finished on time and had to guess on questions. As you can imagine, the 3rd/next section didn't go so well.

I've already filed a complaint with LSAC. Does anyone know what they usually offer as a remedy? I took the test a while ago (May 2019) and I've been studying for months. Would score preview be on the table despite having taken the regular LSAT before? If push comes to shove, I can take it in January. Obviously not ideal, but I still have plenty of material and PTs. Please advise.

Hi everybody! I have really been stressing out lately. I've been really harping down on myself about my current situation and I'm really frustrated. I know that there are some discussions similar to this, but I just really need some advice in real-time. So I had a bit of an existential crisis over the summer about what I wanted to do with my life and decided in July that I was going to apply to law school and take the LSAT. This left me with only two months to study, and while I studied about seven hours a day, it still was nowhere near the amount of time needed to study for the October LSAT. I got my score back and it's a 150, which I was SUPER disappointed with because of my UG-GPA. I attended two four-year universities and one community college. My performance at my first college was really abysmal primarily because of extenuating circumstances, a really shoddy mental health situation, and undiagnosed ADHD (which I recently got put on meds for). Realistically, I need to raise my score by A LOT to make up for my GPA. I am mostly wondering, based on what I have said, should I wait to apply until the next Admissions Cycle or not? I plan on taking the January and February test to improve my score and I've read that it might be a little late to apply to schools by the time that I get the results back. Let me know what your thoughts are! If you answer the poll please give me a reason why!

so do you provide your own scratch paper? Or do they mail you a booklet like the one you use taking the normal digital exam?

Hey guys, if anyone is interested in some help on LG please let me know. I’ve done every publicly available logic game multiple times. I’ve been helping students for about 3 months now!

I'm taking the LSAT-FLEX tomorrow and had some final questions about what to expect.

I studied hard for this test since March of this year, and I sat for the November Flex on the 7th. As I was studying, time seemed to move extremely fast and now that I have completed the test, time seems to be moving extremely slow. Nothing took me by surprise on the flex, but I think I caught a case of test anxiety: things felt so surreal as I was taking the test that it kind of felt fake? I don't know how to really express my emotions with words; however, now I wait to see this score that I feel will be low, but the post LSAT life, where I go cold-turkey with studying, is something that feels hallow to an extent because you put so much time and effort on the test and now it's over for a little bit. It's weird.

I am not sure what this post even means, but cheers to the LSAT takers!

Hi everyone,

So I took the flex yesterday and I am shocked at how underwhelmed I am.

Going in I was averaging around 159/160, and was generally feeling great in LR and RC, but still weak in games.

On the flex I did well on the games (by my standards) and then for some reason I couldn't get into shape for LR and RC (missed a whole passage) and I've no idea what happened.

At this point I will be content to score anything above my 154 from August.

I am applying to Canadian schools (in access category at most) with around a 3.7 gpa and I don't know whether I should keep studying full-time until the Jan Flex, or to go find a full-time job and study on the side.

Saving money for law school sounds nice, but one must get in for that to be relevant and I'm going to be borderline.

I appreciate any help really.

Hey everyone.

On the August LSAT I received a 160. I thought I was done, but I feel like I can still get a higher score. However if I take it again, it'd be my 4th time. What do you guys think?

I graduated in 2019 and have worked for the past year in Finance. I was able to get a letter from my current work manager. I understand having an academic letter is important. Over the past month, I have emailed ~10 professors whose classes I have done well in, as well as a few career and pre-law advisors. I have only received 1 response and they said they were too busy and now was not a good time. What should I do? I was hoping to apply before Thanksgiving, but that is looking less likely. I can get another letter from a previous internship supervisor, but that would leave me with 0 academic letters. Should I apply with 2 professional letters and apply earlier, or delay applying and hold out (hopefully) for an academic letter?

Hey all,

I'm kinda having a crisis: I'm applying to Iowa, which is a really dream school for me, and it hits a lot of my desires/requirements as far as the school goes. I'm really interested in PI/gov't work, particularly prosecution, complex litigation, and moving into investigating white collar/environmental crime, ideally as a DA/AUSA. Iowa has a lot of cool academics who work in these fields, and it seems to have some great practical programs to this effect as well. And it punches a bit above its weight as far as things like clerkships are concerned.

But I'm worried that a) Iowa might be too regional outside of the midwest though i wouldn't mind living there (especially Chicago/KC), and that b) it might be too low ranked for these positions that I fear might be a bit unicorn-ish. Would going to Iowa and doing extremely well mitigate that possibility, or do I need to go somewhere in the t14 to have a fighting chance of working in these fields?

Can we go to the bathroom during the 1 min break? If we really need to...

Really curious if anyone has an answer to this: I am applying to my alma mater for law school. I was wondering if they refer to my undergrad application by any chance. Only asking because there is some overlap with how one of the essays were written back in my college essay as it was a significant experience for me.

Does anyone know if adcomms have access to undergrad essays?

Due to COVID, LSAT FLEX is in-home test, and i am wondering whether everyone takes the test with computer or tablet?

Is tablet allowed to use for LSAT flex? if yes, can iPad be used as well?

What is the pros and cons to take exam with laptop and tablet?

I would like some tip/info regarding this from previous takers too!

For answer choice A, I seemed to struggle understanding how it strengthens the argument. Is answer choice A saying that the more "good" cases that you have, the higher your productivity score at your firm (I am assuming that a high productivity score is a positive attribute to have)? What if one takes on a computer-fraud case (which according to the stimulus take more time than the average fraud case) and it's a "good" case (i.e. you win the case)? Won't this increase my productivity score? Would greatly appreciate clarification on this answer choice.

Hi I was wondering if there was a way to do a 25 question LR problem set with the full 35 mins without taking an official test. If you add 25 questions to a problem set they add to 33 minutes, which is 35/26 x 25. Is there a way to artificially override that time without adding time and half?

EDIT: Nevermind, I just realized there's an option for that in the time menu.

Hi there - I'm currently scoring 167-169 and hoping to break 170 (goal is 173+). I'm looking for a couple of people in a similar situation who are able to meet online once a week to review LR and RC sections. I'm in the Bay Area so west coast peeps preferred!

Best,

A
