When you hover over the answer choices, the percentage of people who chose a particular AC and the avg LSAT score of those people appears. How is that intended to be used/how do you use it? As a confidence booster/score predictor/difficulty gauge or what?

TIA!

Need advice from anyone who has participated in 7Sage admissions consulting. I have been looking into the option that provides unlimited edits for one document, so I could really focus on my personal statement. For reference, I took the June test so I don't have my scores back, but I have been averaging a 169 on PTs and really want to push my application into some top-tier schools. However, I will be paying for law school apps and haven't been able to work many hours due to COVID, so I really want to be sure that paying for any sort of consulting would be worth the money. Please let me know your experience or any thoughts you have!!

Hi everyone!

Just curious for anyone who used the loaner tablet to take the LSAT flex what was your experience like?

I have been studying for about 2 months and am still in the LR section of the CC. I am getting nervous as to how much time I will be able to devote to PTs before my exam in August to have a chance to retake before fall 2021 admissions. Approximately how many should be completed and BR before taking an actual test? Does anyone have any advice on getting through the CC quicker, or which sections would be most important to focus on? Any advice in general would be very helpful. Thanks in advance!

Hey all! I have been wanting to search for threads to see what people are saying about the LSAT-FLEX. However, when trying to search for anything related to the FLEX in the search bar, nothing relevant is provided in the search... anyone else having this or a related issue in the discussion search? Thank you!

I was reading the LSAT FAQ on LSAC, and I noticed this statement: "The online, remotely proctored LSAT-Flex tests do not count toward this total as they were administered as an emergency response to the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic." I am a bit unclear on what this means. So if we take 2 LSAT Flex tests, they will not be counted towards the limit of 7 tests in a lifetime?

Here is the link:

https://www.lsac.org/lsat/taking-lsat/lsat-faqs

I am just curious about if we have access to the February 2011 and February 2010 LSATs? Or are certain tests previously administered not available? I am also wondering if LSAC uses some of the test sections that we have available as PrepTests for upcoming LSATs?

Thank you for any response!

Hello, I have been struggling with necessary assumptions for a surprisingly unnecessary amount of time and still I cannot totally understand the concept as I have received seemingly conflicting methods to solve this question stem. Let me start with a simple question: if You negate a statement, and that statement makes the conclusion MUST BE FALSE, then that statement before its negated is the necessary assumption? If a statement is negated and the conclusion is COULD BE FALSE, then the statement before it was negated has no bearing on the argument and is not a necessary assumption? I really need help strengthening my firm understanding of this concept because it has been hit or miss for me. I sometimes would get most of them right in a PT and get most of them wrong in another PT, 50-50 right in another PT. Please help

I tried refreshing the page and re-opening it from existing problem sets a couple times but it keeps on showing the loading icon. The other sets I took around the same time work just fine.

Anything that can be done to fix it?

Has anyone taken the Flex with a TV in their room? I plan on taking it in my living room for superior internet connection but I'm worried the TV will be an issue - it'll be inconvenient to take it out.

The FAQ page mentions media players aren't allowed in general, not sure if TV is included.

Already emailed LSAC about this but not sure if I'll get an answer so wanted to check in with you guys.

Is the correct negation for (B), “The leopard magpie moth does have the speed or agility to escape from SOME of its predators”? And if so, does this hinge on the fact that it contains the word “any”, which is treated like “all”, and therefore negated as “some is not”, and the added “not” creates a double negative which turns “does not” into “does”? If this is the case, I would like to know if this is a hard-and-fast rule we can apply every time we see the words “any”, “all”, “every”, “some”, or “most” anywhere in the answer choice of a necessary assumption question. I usually don’t have trouble negating these words when they are at the beginning of the sentence, as in “all swans are white”, but I had never negated an answer choice in this way when the quantifier was in the middle of the sentence. Consequently, like others, I thought the negation for this was “the leopard magpie moth does have the speed or agility to escape from ANY of its predators, which in my eyes, does undermine the argument. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Godspeed to those taking the test in July

Same with this one question like before...

A park contains at most five of seven kinds of trees- firs, laurels, maples, oaks ,pines, spruces, and yews - consistent with the following conditions.

If maples are in the park,yews are not

if firs are in the park,pines are not

if yews are not in the park, then either laurels or oaks but not both, are in the park if it is not the case that the park contains both laurels and oaks, then it contains fir and spruces.

If the firs are not in the park, then which one of the following must be true.

A) Maples are not in the park

B ) Spruces are not in the park

C) Yews are not in the park

D) Pines are in the park

E) Spruces are in the park

i understand why A would be the right answer, however, can't D be true because if firs are not in the park then pines must be in the park as well..? The contapostive. why isnt the answer D

Okay so I understand the question just confused because two answers seem right to me! Maybe this will help someone with practices well?

Zeno's unfunished Furniture sells exactly four types of Furniture - Footstools, hutches, sideboards,tables,and vanities. Irene buys just four items, each of a different type, and each made of entirely of one kind of wood. Maple, Oak, Pine, or Rosewood. The following conditions govern Irene's Purchase.

'

4.if Irene buys a footstoll, she also buys a table made of the same wood.

5.Irene does not buy an oak tree

6.Exactly two of the items sge buys are made of the same kind of wood.

If Irene does not buy an intem made of maple, then each of the following must be true EXCEPT

A. Irene buys a footstool

B. Irene buys a pine hutch

C. Irene buys a rosewood sideboard

D.Irene buys exactly one item made of oak

E. Irene buys exactly two items made of pine.

I thought the answer was D not B because if she doesnt buy an item that is made of maple then she cant but a vanity which means she buys a footstool and if she buys a footsool then she buys a table made of the same wood..right? so that means if she buys one that is one type of wood then the other needs to be made of the same type of wood and the table cant be oak so that means she can't buy the footstool and table becaue its the same wood so wouldnt that make D false? Since they have to be the same?

Looking for those who scored 17x on actual/real LSAT, could you describe your prep specifically for computer-based test? did you practice on paper-test sometime or on computer-test all the time?

Planning to retake a low 17x score from a paper-administration.

Hello Community,

I'm drilling SA questions (because I suck at them) and I came across this "gem" that really shook what little confidence I DO have on these question types.

I picked out the conclusion and premise with no trouble but then when I went into the answer choices, I was thoroughly confused. I scratched off B early on as it's restating a premise and conclusion we already have, but this turns out to be the right answer. I thought this was a trap and was sure it couldn't be right, but nothing else looked good either. Can anyone give me some insight as to what the heck I'm missing? Is it just because of the matching conditional structure? Any help and explanations (super dumbed-down for this old lady) would be greatly appreciated!

I have been studying my butt off for LG, but I cannot for the life of me break 14/2x when I PT. I only have 2 months left to study, starting to feel hopeless. Any tips other than the repetition one? Cause that is not working for me (obviously haha). Please help!

I set up my time zone in GMT+8, but the time slots were still shown in CST. Did anyone experience the same problem? For sure I can calculate the time difference by myself, but the email that the LSAC sent me says the test date available to me is 4am-5pm on 7/17 (ET). But I was able to pick 8:30pm CST on the website. I think something must have gone wrong. It makes me anxious. And it seems that the website is not functioning anymore and there is no response from Proctor U support. Did anyone encounter the same problem?

I recently started selling some artwork on Etsy and was wondering if I should list this on my resume - sort of like a small business. 20% of each sale is donated to charity so I thought maybe it would show creativity/service but didn't want to add it if it looks bad. Anyone have advice?

I've read so many horror stories about bad proctors on ProctorU from people who've already sat for the May and June flex tests. How do I go into the July flex with a positive attitude without feeling like the system is dooming us from the get-go?

Is anyone else nervous about this? If so, what have you been doing to help your nerves? If anyone has had a positive experience with ProctorU, I'd really appreciate it if you could share it here!

Hi all! So I recently took my diagnostic test (PT 75 chosen randomly, I know kinda dumb) and got a 153. During the test, I just fell like I was feeling off and my head was kind of foggy maybe? On a whim, I took PT 76 a week later with virtually no review or studying, and I got a 163. I don't know what score I should use as my diagnostic or which is more indicative of my raw abilities. Is the second test not considered my diagnostic because I had already taken a PT and was therefore loosely acquainted with the LSAT? I know that your diagnostic score isn't hugely important, but it's useful to track your progress. Any insight is appreciated!

Does anyone know if we can use a laptop like the Microsoft Go to utilize the touch features and to orient the screen similar to the tablet experience? Also, when using a laptop, is there a way to choose which webcam proctorU will use if you have multiple options? I was told the proctors need to have a certain field of view so they can see you at all times so I was curious if we could disable the front facing one and use a third party / usb attached webcam so we can lay our laptops in a way some of us might be more comfortable with.

Thank you for any insight! :)

During the test I always get 'tunnel vision' and because of this I miss tiny but very important details. Do you guys have any tips to avoid this tendency?

Do we have to change the "temporary password" given by LSAC for ProctorU?

Over the past few months I've taken about 16 exams from the 50s-80s and even excluding the scores I got towards the start of my studying, it appears there is a significant gap in the average scores for my exams from the 50s/60s (avg. 172, max 176, min 170), and the 70s/80s (avg. 168, max 171, min 167).

The difference in my performance comes from the RC and LG sections, but I'm not sure why... Are there certain question types that have become more common in the more recent exams in both RC and LG? Any help figuring this out would be much appreciated. At the moment I'm just wishing I could have taken the exam a decade ago.
