Hi everyone! I had started studying for the LSAT in August but not that seriously because the school semester had begun. I finally have a schedule that will allow me to study seriously for the LSAT. So I know some basics but that's about it. Any suggestions on where to start? I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed at the moment trying to decide which prep course or books I should buy since they are all so expensive. If 7sage is worth it, I might enroll in it. What are your suggestions? Should I be buying other books or enrolling in other prep courses with 7sage? I've heard mixed reviews about Powerscore and some people have mentioned Loophole and LSAT Trainer. Any thoughts on where I should start would really help. Thank you!
I would love to Blind Review with someone - anyone! I am starting off my LR journey and it could be great to bounce ideas off with someone else. My LR scores are not very consistent yet and can range from timed -9/-5 and BR -5/-2. I am trying to make my way through the earlier tests and eventually PT the more recent ones.
Let me know if you can make it. The BRing will happen regardless, but come join me if you are available. It would make me very happy to meet some people and learn some stuff :)
So for me, the mic and camera are fine but the issue is that apparently my computer settings can't be read because it can't connect to the ProctorU system servers and I don't have the ProctorU Extension version. When I went to download it, the sheer level of invasiveness and lack of privacy warning I got before downloading it was extremely concerning. I want to make sure my set up works well before the test itself so I can resolve any issues that may appear, but the privacy issue above, along with what other students were saying in the reviews about not being able to take their exams with the auto proctor makes me wonder if there is possibly any way to avoid having to download that extension? Anyone facing a similar dilemma or have suggestions??
Hi everyone! I'm taking the Jan flex on the 15th and would love some last-minute study tips.
I've noticed a strange pattern where all my PTs prior to 70, I'm getting 171+. Unfortunately I burned thru PTs 71-81 early in my studying, so I don't have those as a frame of reference-- But any PTs I'm taking past 82 I'm consistently stumbling on questions across sections. (Most recent observations is I'm hitting major issues in LR and LG, getting -6 on each when I usually get -2 to -3.)
Has anyone else had similar issues, and any broader ideas on resolving (besides just drilling specific issues I overlooked on a question-to-question basis)?
If the test is similar to PT82, i'll gift myself a Ferrari lol.
I see many people always mention they do one section of the test, Blind review it, and then check their answers, I'm unsure on how I can do this on 7sage?
So I'm pretty good at the logic games section, and LR. Unfortunately, with logical reasoning, I see my mistakes but just...didn't pick the right answer, when I knew how to get there? I'm missing probably 5 on that section, 4 of which were dumb and I guess I "could have" gotten them right.
For reading comprehension I have the information I need to answer the questions, but still miss too many from just poor judgment. Any advice?
Hi there, I am posting because I am in a huge dilemma here; I wasn't aware that there were only incredibly limited spots for the test days, and when I received the email for scheduling, it was 1am my time and I was in bed then; I was just told by ProctorU that the only date and time slot I have left is the 17th and 8.30pm onwards. Additionally, I have only just got back to my home country and adjusted to its time zone, and have only taken tests in the evening twice: both times I scored 10 points lower than my average, so I was wondering whether I should just move my test to April and make sure I schedule as soon as the email pops up?
January would have been the first time I will be taking the test, but now I am not too sure. I am also hoping to hit the 170s, and haven't really gone past the plateau yet (still scoring anywhere between 167-173 on average). Thank you so much!
In this passage, I picked D because I interpreted Rito using the phrase "serious underestimates" as the severity of the underestimate of the raw numbers, while Hiro uses “surely underestimate” as an acceptance that there is an underestimate but not necessarily accepting of the severity of it.
When I reviewed JY's reasoning, he said that they both thought it was serious, which I can't really seem to understand how it can be interpreted as such.
Can someone help me find out where in my thought process I went wrong? My second choice was the correct answer, and I should have focused on the conclusions in this one, but I need help seeing how both thought it was a serious underestimate. Thanks!

Hello everyone,
I hope everyone is on track on their studies.
I am a Canadian from Toronto, Ontario and so far I have not yet received an email from LSAC to sign up for the proctor u.
Anyone else facing this issue in Canada or anyone in general?
Why Jan LSAT Flex is on19th and 20 in KST time? Wasn't it supposed to be 16th and 17th? Moreover, there was not any announcement they were going to change the dates? I'm a little confused tho.. so I wonder is it all on19-20th for you guys?
So I registered for ProctorU and did my equipment test and everything passed except for my RAM usage. It said I'm using 98% of my RAM and the max is 90%. I assumed this was because I had other applications open so I closed everything on my computer other than the window with the equipment test, and the RAM category still failed. Is this an issue that will prevent me from writing on test day?
So happy to say I've accepted an offer at my top choice! Deposit down and ready for the fall! Anyone else make their decision yet? I would love to hear everyone's hard work pay off!
Can you use the negation rule (as we do in NA) in SA?
Taking Jan and want to get a sense of what pts the flex is comparable to. Like is the LR like the 80s, 70s or 60s? Same for RC and LG. Has anyone seen circle, pattern, or just weird games in any of the flex tests?
If I get a test like 72.85.or
86 I will literally cry.
If you have a proctorU account (edit:maybe) you can schedule your test. Good luck!
Hello - was anyone able to sign up for a time on the 18th (ET timezone)? I only saw availability on 16th, 17th and 19th.
Are there are announcements or rumors on dates after April 2021, and if they will remain flex?
Sorry, last minute I know... just decided I needed to get one done. But if you were looking for something to do or just so happened to be working on it, feel free to join in for a section or three. This will be the flex version. 5pm EST. Last 5 - 177, 174, 172, 176, 176.

I'm taking the Jan flex and usually score between -3 or worst -5 on games. I know I have the capacity to get to -1/-0 and want to maximize this before my test!
To all you high scorers: wondering if there are any particular games that you would recommend focusing on and exhausting? I'm pretty good at in and out (I've exhausted the CD game and feel quite confident with the logic behind it) I am now going to be focusing on sequencing and grouping games.
I am also wondering how you confront the feeling of nerves from a setup you've never seen before. I tend to freak myself out as soon as I see a misc game and start to shoot myself in the foot lol
Please let me know if you have any advice for me :)
Total side note: i tanked on PT 84 and just feel like there is no way to be consistent in RC (which is what inspired this post) let me know if anyone else thought 84 was particularly difficult lol
Hello everyone,
This thread so everyone can post their problems and solutions to equipment testing here.
For Chrome:
I ran the test, my internet passed and my system checked out as well. However, my mic and webcam were not checked green. Even though I can see my web cam was working.
What was the issue?
Apparently it couldn't measure the width or height of the camera, for the mic, it didn't even show what the issue was.
Did everything as described and still was not working.
For FireFox:
I installed firefox ran the test everything checked out. But, there was 1 issue.
The system check sign did not turn green.
Apparently, friefox has a setting where it disables websites from identifying your system info. Firefox calls this "fingeprinting".
Here is the link if you want to know more about fingerprinting and how to disable it:
Anyways
So my final result is that my, mic, webcam, internet and system, all checkout. Albeit, in different browsers.
If anyone figures the issue with Chrome, please post it. It will help the community greatly. f
Let's use this thread to help each other out and lower the stress levels.
Best of luck to everyone with the test.
I am unsure whether the flex will still be administered when I sign up to take the exam (aiming to take it april-may)
Should i be studying on print outs of the questions, or should i stick to the virtual questions, which would simulate the flex lsat more accurately?
Tips on switching between paper/virtual lsats?
im only seeing 19th est :( is anyone else seeing the 18th?
I am awful at reading comp. I am not really grasping what is being read and its honestly boring. LR and games im good at
