Hi everyone, I have a question on the time when the exams start. Do they do a fixed time all around the country or is it based on your time zone? Also, when does the exam start? Morning or afternoon, or does it vary based on which day you choose to take the test? Thanks!

I was wondering if there is anyone who feels the same but I feel like I am not improving on LR accuracy even after practicing sections after sections. I review all the questions I flagged and got wrong but it just seems like I will still get -6 or -8 the next time. I will also redo them and get most of them right.

I scored a 163 on the May flex and I am really looking to get to 170 on the July one. I feel like doing better on LR is essential for me to get closer to that goal.

For people who have any success stories about improving significantly on LR, would you mind sharing your approach and some advice if possible? I would really appreciate that. Living along for about 3 month now, the stress and anxiety is building up...

Hi everyone.

Just two quick questions on the LSAT Flex:

Is the full screen option available on the real LSAT Flex? (Just like 7Sage where you can maximize it to the extent of your web browser.) LSAC's LawHub simulator does not seems to support them but I'm guessing they're simulating the in-person digital tablet test, not the Flex.

Also, are line numbers cited on RC? Again, LawHub's simulator doesn't cite line numbers, which is a bit bonkers...

Thank you.

Two boring questions:

Do we need to print out admission ticket? I'm assuming no but want to be safe

Do we need to have our phones with us to show we turned them off?

Hi everyone,

So I am determined to apply this upcoming cycle and have registered for the August test. However, I want to leave room for a second attempt so I am considering signing up for the October test as well.

My plan would be to see how my score is from August -I believe I would get the result in late September- and then I would withdraw from the October test depending on whether or not I am satisfied with my score.

I honestly don't care so much about losing money for the late withdrawal at this point; I just want the added peace of mind that comes with knowing I have a possible second attempt.

I am just wondering whether or not a late withdrawal will be reflected on my application negatively, if it appears there at all.

Would anyone be aware of these details?

I would appreciate any help and advice very much!

I decided to withdraw from this weekend's administration. On the status page on LSAC's website I do not see any option to withdraw. I gave them a call but they are not open until Wednesday. I sent an email and also submitted a message on their contact us page. Is there anything else to do in order to avoid an absent marking for the exam? Did I misinterpret the withdraw deadline? Is n't it at midnight tonight?

Thank you for any insights!

I am having trouble viewing the quick view on certian question- it says the link is expired. I can view the question when going to the explination and when looking at earlier tests but not the mid 40+ range tests.

Hey everyone,

I am taking the July 14th flex exam and was curious if anyone has had an issue of "download speed can't be found" I have tested it on other websites and am downloading at a speed 3x higher than recommended. Wondering if anyone else has had this experience and what was done to fix it.

thanks

I will be taking the LSAT-Flex in t-minus 46 hours and am petrified about reading comp. My reading comp scores vary greatly -sometimes it is -8/9 and sometimes it is -0/1. I have gotten my logical reasoning and logic games scores to where I want them to be but cannot afford getting 9 reading comp questions wrong come test day.

Does anyone have a method I could use to get more consistent with this section? I assume that if I am able to get -0/1 my problem is related to my understanding but rather some other issue.

I am thinking about just reading an abundance of actual passages to get primed but do not know what else I can do :/

if we have this statement

A --> B and C

Contrapose:

Not /B or /C --> /A

Simple enough

What if we find out only /C

then what remains?

Do we still get to run contrapositive?

What if this happens in a logic game Would (A-->B) still be the remaining rule?

Nervous about registering for a flex lsat if they will be doing lsat like this for a while because I have been doing practice tests the traditional five section way for a while. Do you think it will be more difficult to get a higher score with only three sections or will it be about the same? And supposedly they aren’t going to make it more difficult because it’s three sections but I honestly don’t know if that’s going to be the case lol. Also how do you think law schools will view a flex score ?

Hey everyone,

My studying began at the very end of last year. I just received my first 170, albeit with some extra time added on to the PT. When discussing speed, I've heard the maxim, "Slow is fast and fast is smooth" and am attempting to live by this motto. Within the speed zeitgeist, there is also the skipping strategies from Mike Ross and Can'tgetright, which are incredibly useful. For anyone else scoring within this range, could you provide either general principles or specific rules that help you gain speed without sacrificing accuracy? Alternatively, you can just affirm that speed is a function of practicing more frequently and I'll begrudgingly accept that.

Lastly, if you are in need of a study buddy, I am up for being asked "dumb" questions if I can ask foolish things in return. I plan on really considering this July Flex test (even with its drawbacks) with August as a hopeful take.

Thanks!

I just started 7sage a few weeks ago. Should I start taking practice tests throughout the core curriculum? I understand that I won't know the best approach for most of the question types at this point and don't want to "waste" the prep tests if I'm not ready.

Any recommendations on when to start integrating them into my weekly study plan? Thank you!

Hi - I know this is a nice problem to have but I am looking for advice on if it makes sense to move from June to July LSAT. I am registered for both but hope to take once with highest score possible. My study schedule and overview of PTs are below. I am feeling a bit exhausted but also have always had a shoot your shot mentality and would not hate being done with LSAT on Monday.

My question is how much can I expect to improve if I take a few days to decompress this weekend and then refine with PTs 79-84 doing 1-2 a week for next few weeks? This would probably involve me taking LSAT time down from 80% of time to 30-50%. Would it be typical (expected?) for a test taker with below level of scores to move up to more consistent high 170s? Or does the below pattern indicate an end to realistic improvement. Thank you and good luck to everyone jamming on this stuff.

Overview of studies:

I moved through LSAT trainer in about 1 month while picking and choosing core curriculum lessons as I felt it was needed. I started PT'ing at the the start of June scoring:

April 15 - May 31: LSAT trainer and core curriculum

June onward PT and blindreview:

76 - 169 (173)

77 - 168 (171)

78 - 173 (174)

79-83: saved

84 - 171 (171)

85 - 168 (172)

86 - 169 (170)

87 - 171 (172)

88 - 169 (176)

89 - 173 (173)

I can go -0 in an given section but tend to have one section always go -3 to -5... Timing is improving especially on LR (maybe 5 minutes at end and getting better). RC is always tighter for time. LG has most variability.

At what point do I know I've completed the core curriculum? Currently, I'm on weakening questions - but I noticed there's nowhere on the syllabus that specifically states "core curriculum." I know its L, LR, and RC but how do I know when I've completed those lessons on the syllabus?

I guess I have a question. If the June test is the LSAT flex, would they release a 4 section test or just 3 section for the books they publish and sell to you for prepping purposes? It seems bit confusing to prep for 4 to 5 section and using the 5 section as an experimental. The actual test is just 3 sections now with LSAT flex. I mean how do you score it a 3 section test? I am sort of confused at the moment. If you can explain where it makes, it would be most helpful.
