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.

I have been studying since July 2020 (160 diagnostic) and I took the November test and got a 166 after having scored in the 170s a handful of times. I know that I can do better so I studied through December and until 10 days ago, I thought I was ready to kill it. In the PTs that I've taken after the November exam I have averaged a 174 in 10 PTs. However the last two tests that I have taken have been 166s. I am not sure if I should take the exam this month (I'm registered for the 19th) or postpone another month. Has anyone else experienced something like this? Please let me know what your advice is. I would appreciate any insight as I need to decide if I'm rescheduling before the 15th.

By making diagrams for the LR questions, especially the Parallel Method of Reasoning or Sufficient Assumption ones: I get more questions correct in LR. But this causes me to run out of time, and guessing the remaining questions hurts my scores.

Is it a good practice to diagram whenever possible, or do I need to be able to visualize these diagrams mentally, instead of taking the time to write them out?

How do i take my PT's flex style (3 sections)? it's making me take 4 sections.

Hi all!

Taking January and just trying to avoid any potential mishaps as much as I can. Was curious about the devices everyone used to take their Flex exam on (for those who have already tested). I have a Macbook Air 2020 that I'm generally confident about but I also read somewhere that Macs are less compatible with the system - may have just been an anecdotal story though.

Also any other tips for taking Flex? I've heard horror stories of proctors messaging test-takers and causing them to lose time, so I'm trying to avoid anything that could get me "in trouble" lol.

Thanks :)

So I'm good at LR and LG and got to a point where the main questions I miss are stupid mistakes.

Unfortunately, I just suck at RC. I am good at it when I like the topic, and have knowledge about it, so I guess on the LSAT there is a POSSIBILITY I could do well, but far too often I miss 2-3 questions a section, which is obviously not good.

I've tried reading slowly and taking comprehensive notes. I've tried whipping through it taking no notes. Both gave me kind of crappy results. I know what the Kaplan Method is but I feel like it's too tedious for me to actually do on test day.

Has anyone else found out how to successfully get RC questions right?

Is there a way to underline/highlight on 7Sage's RC passages?

I do so much better reading the passages aloud.

How is it E not A??

I recently read somewhere that it helps to do LR sections in under less time than 35 minutes (let's say maybe 32 minutes). For people with more experience in LR, what's your opinion on this?

Do you think it's something worth trying? And if you've tried it before did you find success in applying that method?

Thanks!!

I am currently BRing steadily in -2. In today's practice section I got -2 timed and untimed, but my timed score fluctuates depending on whether I finish everything on time or not. I wondering if applying this method could force me to be faster.

Hello 7Sage community!

I feel as though this is a pretty common issue people have when it comes to test, so I thought I'd seek out the community's advice on the matter.

I've always had a problem when it came to tests and being timed. I get anxious and basically skim through the question and answers, only to find that I've scored terribly low. And in turn, when I'm not timed and take my time reading and answering questions and answers, I find that I've scored pretty high.

So I ask anyone/everyone who reads this to please leave some advice as to how I can be less anxious and improve my score while being timed.

Thanks for reading. :)

The question stem says, "The argument above makes which one of the following assumptions?"

This was labeled a Necessary Assumption question.

Wondering how to tell when a question is NA/SA when it doesn't explicitly say in the question stem? Or maybe I am just missing something in the question stem?

I just took the May 2020 LSAT flex practice test that is up on LawHub. Since I don't believe JY has posted explanations of the questions on here yet, would anyone want to review the test. I'm scoring in the 167-173 range and would like to review with someone in the same range.

Hi can anyone with experience with this please give me some insight! I am beginning the process of getting my LORs in order. I am conflicted about the access rights waiver. The LSAC says they encourage you to waive your right to view your recommender's submitted letter so that they are more candid. They claim that in return law schools will look more favorably upon your application. I am hesitant to wave them just so I can see which letters are strongest before choosing which to attach to my applications. Does waiving your rights really make that much of a difference? Any information or advice is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

I have made strides with RC but have noticed that the Qs I am missing are all inference Qs. What should I do differently to tackle inference Qs? Are the AC's typically weaker since we are making inferences?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks.
