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

I'm taking the Flex tomorrow, but when I sat for the July Flex my Proctor said I could use the restroom in those 60 second breaks. Has anyone else had a Proctor say this?

Hey all! Hope everyone is doing well.

I took the LSAT-Flex in August and during my session my proctor took control of my laptop for a while and did some stuff. I didn't pay attention. Going into law because I can't technology.

Now, I can't take screenshots with my laptop or use video on Zoom.

Does anyone know how I fix these issues? I have an 11 year old MacBook Pro.

Thanks in advance!! (3(/p)

Hi Friends,

I'm taking the test tomorrow. I know we are allowed to have 5 sheets of lined/unlined paper...

Does anyone know if we are allowed to have paper where the lines are numbered, or if it has to be blank?

Thank you and good luck to everyone! :)

Taking the November test and was wondering if we can have our laptop chargers nearby? I don't want it plugged in because my laptop will get too hot but was just wondering if people had theirs nearby when they wrote.

LG help

If anyone needs help on LG let me know! I got a 167 on October and I’ve been helping people for about 2 months now!

Hey everyone,

Duke Law's personal statement prompt says to mention your "personal and career ambitions," but in my "Why Law, Why Duke" optional essay, I go into detail about my career ambitions. I don't want to repeat myself (Duke specifically says not to do this), but I also don't want it to seem like I'm not following their directions... Does anyone else who has applied to Duke/gotten accepted have any insight on this? Thanks in advance!!

Hi,

I bombed my October LSAT and I thought I did so well. I planned on submitting my applications as soon as I received that score and was so discouraged when I saw me score. I am going to take the January exam and hope for the best.

I've talked to admissions counselors and they said that it's okay to apply with the January score but I don't know if they're just saying that. Is it better to wait to submit during the next cycle or take a leap of faith and submit as soon as I get my January score?

(I have really great softs and a good GPA (also URM))

For those of you who score above 170, how often do you guess on answers? On my last practice test, I got stuck on an LR question and sunk so much time into it that I had to rush through the remaining questions. I am aiming for 170+, so feel a lot of pressure not to miss questions, but sometimes this mindset seems to make it harder. Is the answer just to accept that I will inevitably get stuck sometimes and be ok with guessing, or does this just mean I need to study more to reach my goal? Looking for insight! Thanks!!

I purchased CAS on 10/22/20 and ordered 3 college transcripts via LSAC's online form link on 10/25/20. My CAS status shows that no transcripts have been received or processed. Is this normal? I'm in no rush but worried I messed something up which is why they haven't been received?

I take the LSAT Flex on Sunday on my laptop. I'm wondering if while you're taking the test, any notifications come in or does the ProctorU software completely block out everything? I see my iMessages come in on my laptop and I'm worried that it will happen during the test. I tried deactivating iMessage already but something is wrong with my iMessage so I can't. Thanks in advance for any help!

I've written a flex before and used my laptop, it was easy to show my environment to the proctor by lifting/moving my laptop entirely. I'm going to be writing this week's flex on a desktop with a built in camera. To experienced flex writers who have used a desktop, how did you show the proctor your environment?

Thanks!

Hey guys! now that I know we are allowed to use control F, i was wondering if anyone had any advice on how to use it most efficiently. I suppose that for RC explicitly states passages it would serve most helpful, but I am just wondering if anyone has found any other use to it?

Was trying to figure out my login for LawHub today and saw the May 2020 exam with the option to take it as a flex. Kinda didn't think anything of it then PowerScore released a podcast episode about it and I realized it was kinda random they released it. I'm lowkey too scared to look at it tho cause my test is on Sunday lol but for anyone else to have at it!!

OMG i'm freaking out. i just checked my proctorU account and it says my test got scheduled for the 7th when I definitely scheduled it for the 10th. ProctorU is telling me I scheduled it for the 7th and the 10th is booked. I'm seriously about to have a panic attack I don't know what to do! Does anyone on here have some advice??

What's up! So I am looking for a study group that can meet close to 4-6 days a week and review one section of LR until the end of November (Also maybe doing LG here and there, but I will probably do it more on my own time as it is my strength). Starting December I will work to take 2-3 Tests a week and review only. January will be the same thing. Specifically for people who are 160ish + My goal for January is a 165+ and im pretty determined so ambitious people only!

P.S.

Sorry if I sound rude in this post, but I have been in a million groupme's and none of them work so I am going to limit it to like 3-5 people.
