Hi Community! I am looking for one or two dedicated, down to earth, and sincere study partners to work with for the January test (first-time). I am interested in working through the PTs/section and really take time to understand missed questions/build foundations and have a thorough review/understanding of the method/process of getting to the right answer before moving on to new PTs. I am currently scoring in mid-160s and would like to get to higher 160s or low 170s by January test date. My goal is to cover at least 2 PTs every week but will slow down if I am missing more questions. I am currently working full time and doing a masters but I can be available during evenings and weekends. Please inbox/respond if you are interested!

Hi folks - I just took the November Flex. For reference, I took my first LSAT-Flex in October and did well. I went into November thinking I could do better...While the November test was fairly standard, perhaps even easier than October, just as I began to take the test, Biden was called (!), and for the entire test all I heard were people screaming and cars honking. I also had zero adrenaline, zero nerves. I felt like my body was so relieved from the election being called that I just crashed just as the test started. 1) Do you think LSAC would allow me to retake the test if I filed a complaint (I'm assuming ProctorU has the video recording of all the noise); 2) Has anyone taken an LSAT with zero adrenaline and done well? Legit I was so calm/exhausted/out of it that I feel like I lacked the edge necessary to execute the score I wanted. Also, if I don't cancel my score, is it bad for admissions to see let's say a 170 and then a 160? Thank you!

Good morning,

I am taking my exam this Tuesday November 10th.... Yikes! It is my first time taking the LSAT so I am not familiar with the process at all. Can someone please explain the process on the day of the exam, everyone I know has done the exam in person. Also, if anyone can offer any advise that would be great too.

Thank you in advance!

In foolproofing for LG (which I've just started) I've noticed that below the videos, there will be a target time. However, when I watch the videos, JY usually says a different target time. Which target time am I supposed to go by? The faster one? Also, does anyone know what determines the difference between these two times?

Example: PT 1 G1:Under 10 in video vs. 11:52

Example: PT 1 G2: Around 9 Minutes in video, vs. 11:04 (https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-1-section-2-game-2/)

Hello! I've recently begun studying and prepping for the LSAT and am taking an Online PowerScore Prep Course. I could really use an accountability partner and someone with whom I can share notes, ideas, and insight, as this journey is still relatively new to me and all kinds of help and tips are welcome.

I'm working and studying from home, but we could probably work something out either via Zoom, a computer chat, or a local library if absolutely necessary, although given our current health crisis I'd prefer not to commute anywhere far or be in close proximity to many people.

I'm also new to 7Sage LSAT...how does this work? Thank you and good luck to the rest! :)

Hey 7Sagers,

Here's the official November 2020 LSAT-Flex Discussion Thread.

**Please keep all discussions of the November 2020 LSAT-Flex here!**(/red)

Rules:

❌ You can't discuss specific questions. 🙅‍♂️

You CANNOT say things such as the following:

I am supposed to take my LSAT on Wednesday but I have a family emergency and have to cancel and take in January instead. I am fine to loose the $200. How do I cancel?

Just finished the flex for November. Had RC, LG, LR. Struggled big time with RC, but LG wasn't bad, LR was super easy, im kinda skeptical because of how simple i thought it was. Good luck to everyone else taking it!

Hi I live alone and the only available space for me to give my lsat can be on the kitchen counter shelf in my living room. Does anyone know if that will be ok with the proctor?

Hello! Signing up for Dec. and LSAC prompted me to pick a testing location. I was under the impression all tests were Flex through April. Does anyone have any insight into this? Much appreciated.

So I didn't read the instructions on the writing section and I was wearing headphones the entire thing. My webcam mic is really bad so I thought that I could use my headphone mic instead. Just realized today that it isn't allowed. Anyone have experience with this/ will they definitely cancel it? And if so, will I be able to retake it and if needed, cancel my score once the proper submission goes through?

If we didn't like wordplay we wouldn't be in this racket

I'm looking for a study buddy for the upcoming January 2021 test. I have taken this test multiple times and I score in the high 160s. I have never done as well as my PTs (usually in the low 170s) and I want to change the ways I study (including studying with other people) for what will hopefully be my LAST test in January. If you are going through the same thing as me and preparing for Jan test, please be my buddy!

MORE DETAILS per request

Hi Everyone!! Thank you so much for your comments. I didn't really think there would be such a high level of interest or people studying for the January test (given how late it is). My weakest section is LR. I would love to work with someone whose strongest section is LR. I can't really help you if you are looking for a buddy that can help you with LR. MY strongest section, on the other hand, is LG! I am really good at LG and I can help you if you are aiming to get -0 or -1. Ideally, I would love to work with someone looking to improve on LG, but scores well consistently in LR. Thanks!

how can I go back to the question on the PT to see the notes I put in when blind reviewing so that I can compare my reasoning with the explanation after I get my results ? I would like to see the exam so that I can go back over my reasoning and I put my BR notes in the notes section ...

If you have received your score for the your LSAT FLEX - can you please advise if it was close to your PTing average ?

I completed my diagnostic - got a 154 and 158 after blind review - but did it under "FLEX simulator". A bit concerned regarding the accuracy of my score since no one is sure how the LSAC will be scoring the FLEX. I plan on taking FLEX in Feb.

I know I can just do all 4 sections to get an accurate score but am curious on those who received their FLEX score , how close their official score was to their FLEX PTing avg.

I feel that ALL three sections are more difficult than the previous PTs... It'd be very helpful to have explanation videos on them!

Does it take a while after a recommender uploads a letter for it to show up as received on LSAC? I'm getting worried because my recommenders said they would upload them weeks ago but it still says "requested but not acknowledged by recommender" and 0 letters received

Greetings,

I'm taking the November LSAT FLEX on Wednesday. Originally my score was at 141but my score gradually increased over the passed couple of months. I've been stuck at 153 since the end of September, however, I have a strong feeling that I would be able to score higher if I learned to became more comfortable with the time constraints. I went from taking prep test every week to almost everyday along with other forms of timed and mastery practice. I am a person who in general has issues with anxiety. I am currently three days away from taking my LSAT test and I am experiencing a major reoccurring problem. For the past two weeks, I've been experiencing the inability to finish my test due to panic. I usually start to become frustrated and unfocused to the point where I'm unable to regain my focus enough to answer the remaining questions ( I was not experiencing this problem up until the last week of October).

I'm not sure if I'm burnt out to the point where it escalating my anxiety or if it's another underlying reason. I am hoping I can receive advice on what I should do from this point.#HELP

Hi! Of course, night before my test... my webcam crapped out (because why would I have a stress free experience anyways?) I bought a new one, and now it is saying that the webcam height and width can not be found. Does anyone have the fix for this?

EDIT- just went and got a different one that works. Not messing around haha

Also of note, the released form (of which there were several - IIRC 16 of them but don't quote me) of the May Flex ended up being a -9 curve, BUT there was at least some indication that the released scale might have been composed after the release... which kind of makes one wonder if a different method was used on the actual test.

2 years ago, I applied to a T14 school and was rejected. At the time, my GPA was at their median, and my LSAT was below their 25th percentile. Now, I have improved my LSAT score to exactly the median score. My personal statement, résumé, and letters of recommendation are very strong. Since my waitlist two years ago, I have made very solid advances in my career.

Do I have to re-work my entire application? Submit an entirely new personal statement? Write an addendum? Can I submit the same application with an updated résumé? Any advice is appreciated.

I take the LSAT Monday so I no longer need my 7Sage Ultimate plan. However, I would like to review what I’ve done until Monday. Does anyone know what happens when you cancel? Will all of my progress and information be wiped away?

My downstair apartment was always vacant, the university reserved it as a temporary quarantine housing for students. Unfortunately, right after my LSAT started this afternoon, I heard loud TV noise downstairs, cheering and laughing. (I guess it might be the media coverage for Biden victory.)

That was really distracting as I couldn't concentrate on the test. I can read but cannot understand stimuli. I flagged 10 questions on LR (usually 2-3 flagged questions during PTs), and had no clues for the RC section.

I have to say the timing was "perfect", no noise during my test check-in, and just right after my first session began, the TV was turned on. (I can no longer leave the room at that time) If I had known someone moved in and the insulation was that bad, I would have politely asked my neighbor to lower the volume.

My decision is to cancel the score (I have my August score on hand). In my situation, is this a reasonable reason for cancellation? Do I need to provide an addendum for this? As I once read on the forum, that admission officers would not flag a single cancellation, they would just assume something bad happened.

my test was LR-RC-LG, LG was quite normal, sorry I cannot assess the difficulties for LR and RC, as I was not at the test during these two sections. LOL

GOOD LUCK on your FLEX exam and remember to check with neighbors if necessary.

With students taking the November examas early as tomorrow, I encourage you to make time to "warm up" before you start your exam.

The purpose is to get you in the "mode," and get any "kinks" out before the actual exam. Ideally we want to trigger muscle memory so you're in the zone as soon as you start the first exam question (rather than finding your footing after a few questions).

Here's my prescription for warming up. The key idea is EASY - you don't want to run the marathon before the marathon - you want to do light stuff to get the blood flowing and get yourself in the zone:

2-5 EASY LR questions

Annotate an EASY RC passage (Don't worry about the questions if you don't have time - it's just a warm up).

Set Up for an Easy Game and make those Inferences! (Again - Don't worry about the questions if you don't have time - it's just a warm up).

It's fine if you want to use material you've done before, it's just about getting you in "LSAT Mode."

Also, feel free to do this on PTs - you may see a difference.

Its time. We are all freaking out but trust yourself. You've done the work and know what to do. LR: You've done every question type multiple times and know how to I.D and Breakdown the stimulus and find that damn answer! LG... dont you dare throw me something crazy LSAT CREATORS! RC Give me those engaging sexy topics please!

OH well, good luck everyone. BTW is January LSAT too late to apply? No! Dont think this way. You got THIS ONE!
