my diagnostic before the course was 136 and i was ashamed so i deleted it and blocked it out my memory and retook it after the course 6 months later (with lots of breaks) and scored a 145. I wasn't ecstatic about it, but there was definitely improvement so i was ok with it. However, i just took my second ever PT a few days ago (been BRing the past few days) and jumped to a 154 :) im not expecting to go to a T14 Law school and have no interest, but this score will most definitely get me into where i want to go with my current gpa, so im very happy to see im even capable of getting this high of a score!!!

(Ps im horrible at standardized test and decided not a worry about the time because that caused me the most stress during it, and my score jumped 9 points from last PT)

Hey all,

So yeah long story short, im doing quite terrible on RC. Im averaging about -9ish, on my last PT i got -11 on RC but still finished with a 164 because i did well on the other sections. I really want to tighten my RC up to at least getting something like a -5 average, is that too much to ask for?! For those who are good at RC, or who improved quite a bit, could you offer me some advice?

I took my first ever diagnostic from Khan Academy about a month ago and scored a 152, and recently took a PT and scored 158. I’m enjoying the CC and it’s definitely helped me approach questions better, but I continue to have significant issues with MBT, parallel method and flaw questions. Any suggestions on how I can improve in these? My approach so far has been to practice the hardest questions from the problem sets. I have plenty of time before giving the actual test, but I’m hoping to see my score hit 165 consistently in the coming months. Hadn’t got time to foolproof logic games till now but will be doing that post improving my LR performance.

Suggestions on how to improve in these areas – especially from those who have recorded drastic improvements – are welcome. Help out a fellow Sager!

Hey, anyone interested in becoming study buddies? I want someone who is willing to do serious studying and put in at least 12 hours a day! I don’t even mind having a group of four people. Please feel free to message me and we can communicate via Skype.

Thank you and best of luck to all preparing to write the LSAT in the future.

Hi everyone. Does anyone have advice on setting up practice tests or making sure that the practice tests are the same format as Flex? Taking it in August and I know that it is now only three sections (LR, LG, RC) and weighted equally. I would love to practice and know my score in this format and I have no idea how to set it up!

Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi all,

Am currently studying for the November exam (not my end all, just a first try). I've been going through the CC, specifically the LG curriculum to get myself acquainted but I often feel like I'm not doing enough. At what point did you start doing the fool proofing/taking full length tests? Is it okay to just focus on the CC for now or should I be starting as well?

Hi everyone, I figured I would ask this here since I am not sure where else to ask!

Does anyone know if we are allowed to use the command F feature on our computers to highlight words within text on the flex LSAT? This would be extremely helpful I think, especially for reading comp. I read someones comment on one of the preptests that LSAC has said they are allowing this, but it seems too good to be true... can anyone confirm (or deny)?

Thanks!

Hi everyone, I tend to see a trend in my PTs that I miss most of my questions in LR between Q15 and on. I wanted to starting drilling this level of difficulty questions.

Do you guys think drilling "medium and harder" difficulty in LR would be the equivalent difficulty of questions 15 and on?

Thank you in advance (:

Im trying to figure out where to go from here. I’ve taken 4 PTs 50, 51, 60, 61 And I got a 166, 163, 165, and a 159 respectively. It seems like I’m not improving and I did the best right after finishing The CC. I’ve had a lot of stress in my life for the past few weeks which could explain the dip, but I’m taking the August exam. I guess I’m trying to figure out if I should 1) do the CC again, 2) stop taking PTs and go through sets untimed or 3) keep taking PTs and blind reviewing

Hey everyone, I have a question about the LSAT flex. About how much time is given to get from one section to another? I'm hoping I'll have at least a few seconds to regroup and not have to jump immediately into the next section.

I feel most comfortable warming up for a PT (and presumably the real thing) with a couple easy LG and LR questions, although my question for experienced test takers is: do you have a "cheat sheet" with helpful hints/reminders that you have built up over your studies, that you prefer to review right before testing as opposed to practicing questions? If so, how helpful have you found this and would you recommend?

Hey guys i will be taking the LSAT in Nov. It is my first time taking the LSAT, do you think that 4 months should be enough time to study? Planing a retake in January. Any advice on how much I should study everyday to use my time wisely?
