I have a thinkpad laptop, I wonder if I could plugin a monitor and use the monitor to answer questions during the exam.

Thank!

I took a practice test this morning and got a 167. Would be extremely happy if I got this on my actual test this weekend. Any advice on what to do these last couple days? I just feel really tired and want to sleep all day.

I noticed that JY sometimes chains certain "some" "most" and "all" statements for MBT LR questions. Does anyone know where he explains the logic? It mostly makes sense but i want a better explanation than just winging it.

So I am registered for the October flex, does anyone know when scheduling for the date and time of this online exam opens? Or has it already opened? If so, where can I register, because there is nothing to register for a date and time in my LSAC account.

Hey, whats up.

I am taking the LSAT in October and reading comprehension is by far my worst section. I could use any tips that has helped you so I could try and see if it helps me. I am generally getting -10 to -13 per section. I would love to get that down before I actually take the exam.

Thanks

I had to take some time off of studying because Covid had a huge impact on my family and I was so overwhelmed with sadness I couldn't focus on the LSAT. However, I need to get back into studying, but I cannot stay motivated. I can literally sit to start reading and I will instantly find something else to do. I used to eat breath and sleep LSAT AND ACTUALLY love it. Now, I cannot find the urge to do it. I need someone who can make sure that I stick to my studies, as I will do the same. I would like someone who is willing to commit. I am in NY and I would prefer someone in my time zone. I am available every day after 4 pm. However, I can be available earlier certain days of the week if we discuss it in advance. I am comfortable with FaceTiming, zoom, text, calls, whatever is necessary to make sure we get the best out of the partnership. As of right now my untimed LSAT average is 165. I still have much to learn, but my LSAT goal is 172-175. I have a 3.8 LSAC CGPA. I am not necessarily working towards top 14 schools, I just want to have the best opportunity of receiving a full tuition scholarship.

Logic Games

Reading Comprehension

I'm writing on Wednesday the 2nd and I got my highest score on my last PT (this Monday). Should I take another before or leave it?

Hey guys,

If youd like to join a study group there will be a review tonight for pt 63 passages 1/2 in the rc secrion. There will also be reviews daily. Please message if you'd like the link.

My LSAC account doesn't have my middle initial as I didn't input it because it's not a required field. Does this matter when taking the LSAT flex because the ID I will use contains my middle name or does it not matter? Would really appreciate any input as I'm writing tomorrow haha

Hi everyone,

I am feeling really discouraged. My diagnostic was a 145 and did not change substantially until I did 7sage. Last week, I got a 156, which was AMAZING to me, and I couldn't believe it. Now my score has only gotten worse: I got a 154, then a 149, and today I got a 147. This has all been in the span of a week or so. I'm very sad and I was planning on taking all of Friday off to relax, and do some drills today in my problem areas. Saturday is August LSAT Day.

What do you guys think? Is this a good idea? Any words of advice or encouragement? It's hard to not feel hopeless. I'm really hoping to get into the 150s so I don't have to go through this again, and I think that is what is making me so anxious.

EDIT: Would like to note that I have essentially cherrypicked my needs in the CC, because I definitely did not have time to do all of it, as much as I would have loved to. I started using the LSAT Trainer and studied very inconsistently, but it wasn't until July that I started really picking up on concepts and stuff. I know that my situation is less than ideal, but I think it's important for the full context to be here too. Please don't be harsh, as I know what I should have done.

Not sure if everyone else has seen this yet, but November was just switched to flex officially. Registration deadline also moved up to the 23rd of September I believe.

Hey I want to create a study group to BR with 2-3 times a week. I have found this to be the most useful for improvement. I have broken 170 only once and my average is 168! I would love to study in a group in the same range. RC is my weakest!

I am trying to access the course on my iPad and for some reason it will just show a blank screen. Does anyone know the way around that? Thanks!

Hi, idk how i'm missing this, but how do you "circle" a question you want to come back to BR on the digital test taking format? Thanks!!

does anyone know - if i click the “reschedule” button on proctor u, does it automatically take me out of the current time i have? i just wanna see if theres a spot a bit later in the afternoon. but, checking if there are availabilities is def not worth losing the time i have now

Does anyone know if we are allowed to have water bottle or coffee on desk during flex?? was planning on it but not sure if there going to say something.

Hey everyone! I'm currently stilling taking PT in the 60s right now, but was wondering if there really is a big difference in difficulty for PTs in the 60s vs those in the 80s? As in will get it harder as you start practicing the more recent ones?

So when 7sage released the Flexifier for the PTs, I noticed a jump in my score in the two next tests (they were 2 out of my 3 highest scores). Since then though, my averages have gone back to where they were when I was taking the regular PTs. Should I take regular PTs again and then hope for the same jump on test day (taking August Flex)? Or should I just keep PTing Flex tests?

I've been going over correlation causation and it's closely related cousin phenomenon hypothesis arguments and I realized a very important distinction. Phenomenon hypothesis (hereafter known as PH) deals with cause and effect whereas correlation causation deals with cause and effect over time. Here's why this is important:

Nicole Hopkins has a great webinar in the 7sage archives about weakening and strengthening arguments. She says we can strengthen arguments by showing more data that A->B, block an alternate explanation C->A&B, or block no relation between A and B. I'd like to additionally state that chronology can impact an argument as well. If we say A->B, staying that A did indeed come before B strengthens the argument. If B came before A how could A->B?

The important concept I realized was that in many PH questions the above methods don't cut it. In 70.1.6, 70.1.12, and 80LR1.23, we need to use a different approach: if cause, we want to see the effect. If no cause, no effect.

The arguments say "here's a phenomenon, here's my hypothesis." This is implying a casual relationship between A and B. But if I show the effect with no cause, what happens to the hypothesis? It's weakened. If I show your cause with it's effect, this strengths. Too, "no cause no effect" is a very subtle way of strengthening an argument.

When you go to add a recommender on LSAC it asks for their contact information including street address. Do you have to get their real address, or do you put the address of where they work?

Hello All,

Does anyone have any strategies for getting the highest possible correct in the 35 minute time frame? For example, should I just do the 3 easiest passages and skip the hardest passage, or do 3 and a half passages? In LR, I tend to get bogged down easily so maybe skipping the hard ones and getting as much done as possible. If you have any strategies that have worked for you that would be greatly appreciated. I'm aiming for a 160...which allows for about 6-7 incorrect in each section.

I'm writing on Saturday but clearly I haven't reached my goal of 165. Should I write again in November? Do I have a chance to improve my time or no?

Hi there,

This will be my 3rd time writing the LSAT, I switched to 7sage in the middle of studying for my second exam and love it, it has been way more descriptive/helpful. I have a question; visually writing down the SA + Pseudo questions does not help me (translating it into lawgic). In fact, I find it takes me more time and confuses me way more. I usually can get about 50-80% of the questions right (depending on the day) by just working it out in my head and eliminating answer choices. Is this bad? Should I re-do the whole translations portion of the course to better understand it going forward? I know some people have their reservations on this...Any suggestions would help! PS. I am aiming for the November exam as I was waitlisted at 4 schools (now 3 as one school emailed me and advised they are full).

I was wondering if I should take this into consideration when using the calculator to determine the likelihood of being accepted.
