the LRs in the 80s are killing me.
anyone who has taken the previous flex tests, was the LR as difficult as the 80s?
I understand why the answer was D, but need a good reason to keep me from picking an answer like A. in the future....I was going back and forth between A and D and selected A last minute.
Hi! I've finished the LG curriculum and am currently redoing the problem sets I got wrong. One of the things I struggle with is figuring out when to let the questions drive the inferences. I only do this once I've spent 5-10 minutes trying to figure things out and moving to the questions in defeat. Is there a way to build this intuition?
Thanks!
Is there a way to enter your answers for specific questions you attempt while drilling? It seems that you can only enter results for full preptests
I can't remember where I saw it, but I remember seeing something about not being able to move the cursor during an exam and only being able to use arrow keys. Is that correct? I hope not as I like to move my cursor throughout a stimulus or passage. Thank you to anyone who answers!
Does anyone know how to request accommodation for where to write the exam? I think it will be too difficult for me to write it at home with a big family.
It seems like only some schools have the NALP reports available. Is this not required because it is all self reported? I see all the employment outcomes for the schools I’m looking at but only found about half of the NALP reports?
I chose C for this one because I wasn't sure about any of them. Can someone explain why the answer is D?
I was trying to contrapose it back but because the stimulus has an "or" statement that confused me when I was diagramming it.
The reason why I didn't choose D is that even though the bookstore does not have exclusive access to a specialized market, I thought that since it could cater to mass tastes and be still be profitable.
What do you think?? What's the best way to answer this question??
Is there an explanation available for the tags on the practice tests? For example, SeqPure I understand, but what is MC or INFAP? It would be really great if there is a chart I could throw into Excel.
Hey folks! I just began studying for the LSAT full time (30hrs/wk) a few days ago intending to take July/Aug. I'm hoping to get some advice from you guys on a couple of things with regards to the CC.
I am struggling to keep up with my generated study schedule. For example, a lesson like 'Intro to Arguments' may say that it requires 2hrs to complete, but I find that it usually takes me twice as long (or more) to actually finish because I handwrite notes, pause the videos, try the exercises, review, etc. Currently, the schedule says I should be done the CC in 2 months, but if its taking me double the time will it take me 4 months to finish? Is this normal or am I doing something wrong?
I finished the 'Intro Arguments' and 'Grammar' lessons and I'm debating if I should jump ahead and start with learning LGs first? I've been told some people prefer learning LG, then LR, and finally RC. Thoughts on doing this or should I just stick with the order of the CC?
Thanks guys!
On both my last two PT's, I misread or altogether missed a rule during LG that cost me a lot of time before I realized my mistake. I am really worried about this happening to me during the real test. It happens to me very frequently and can make an easy game feel completely mystifying. Does anyone have any strategies for how to avoid doing this? I know the obvious answer is to slow down, but I feel the need to move fast since I am very slow when it comes to LG. I usually never get to the fourth game in time.
I just registered for my time slot for the January test but have yet received my writing sample. Has anyone else received their writing sample already?
Hey, I have been interested in teaching other aspirants which in turn could be helpful for both. I am currently Pting around 165-166 and would love work with people who have trouble breaking into160s and who feels this could be mutually beneficial.
Would be interesting in Br-ing around 2 to three preptests a week.
Thanks
I would love to Blind Review with someone - anyone! I am starting off my LR journey and it could be great to bounce ideas off with someone else. My LR scores are not very consistent yet and can range from timed -9/-3 and BR -5/-2. I am trying to make my way through the earlier tests and eventually PT the more recent ones. I struggle most with timing and that accounts for most of my missed answers, but I think I'll get into the groove eventually.
Let me know if you can make it. The BRing will happen regardless, but come join me if you are available. It would make me very happy to meet some people and learn some stuff :)
^^ I copied that from my last post and modified a bit. Sorry for the repeat if you already saw this.

Some critics say it's unfair that so many great works of art are in huge city museums, since those people already have access to lots of art.
But this is unwarranted because there are so few masterpieces that distributing them more widely is impractical.
Plus, if a masterpiece is to be fully appreciated, it must be seen along other works that provide context for it.
I chose B here because I thought that people would benefit most from getting a full appreciation of the art, and that distributing them more widely would diminish that appreciation for more people.
I mostly understand why D is right, but does the last sentence of the stimulus play any role in answer choice D??
Also can anyone explain why my thinking for B was wrong? Thanks!
What is everyones thoughts on getting one last PT in the day before the exam?
I'm planning on taking the LSAT summer 2021, so hopefully there will be an opportunity to take the test in person at that point. However, the prospect of having to take it at home is really stressing me out. My family is all working from home (and will continue to do so for at least the next year), and I have a lot of noisy animals. My anxiety makes me very sensitive to noise, so I typically have separate room accommodations on all types of exams. The noise isn't something I can get used to (it's not simply an annoyance but is something that can actually send me into a panic).
Has anyone with a similar issue found a solution? At this point, I'm thinking of saving up money to rent out a space for that day or something. Thank you! I appreciate any tips you might have. Best of luck to those prepping!
Hi everyone,
I recently completed the 7sage Core Curriculum and was seeking advice on how to proceed with studying. On my first diagnostic test I received a score of 133. I first began the CC back in March of 2020, but was not very consistent in the beginning. I try to devote around 15-20 hours a week studying. It took me until the end of July to finish the LR part of the CC, as I did not really buckle down until the middle of April. While completing the LR section of the CC, I also read The Loophole in Logical Reasoning. I began the LG section of the CC in August and full-proofed every game offered in the CC. I finally finished the RC section of the CC at the end of December 2020. I took my first PT as a flex test (February 1997) and scored a 157 (-12/-7/-6 in LR/LG/RC). My BR score was a 169 (-8/-1/-3 in LR/LG/RC).
It is very obvious I have an issue with LR. I definitely have some fundamentals to improve on, as I believe I lost a good portion of the knowledge I gained from completing that section of the CC earlier in 2020. I've read that doing untimed sections may help improve fundamentals?
With LG, I used to be completely clueless. I think the CC has helped me improve tremendously, but I think I can do better. I feel like it may be a good idea to fool-proof the remaining games from 1-35, but if anyone has any advice I'd appreciate it.
As for RC, I really feel like this section is a hit or miss. I did okay in my opinion on this pt, considering it was my best section while timed. I assume the only way to improve here is to just drill passages?
I guess what I'm trying to get at is how should I proceed now that I've completed the CC. I very much enjoyed the structure that the CC provided and I'm sort of feeling lost now. I don't think I have the time to take a PT every week nor do I think it would be useful for me to do that right now. I am beginning to wonder if perhaps I should redo the LR portion of the CC, but this time much more quickly. Does anyone have any thoughts on where I should perhaps begin? I know it sounds silly, I am just very confused about this whole drilling process. Also, I'm not out here aiming to get a 170 or anything, if I could get a 160 on the actual test I'd be ecstatic.
The stimulus talks about the number of visits per representative decreasing from 640 to 501, but does that mean the number of visits per pharmacist decreased as well? Is it possible the number of visits per pharmacist from these representatives possibly remained the same or even increased depending on the number of representatives working for these manufacturers? Can the number of visits per representative be equated to the number of visits per pharmacist?

Hi everyone! I had started studying for the LSAT in August but not that seriously because the school semester had begun. I finally have a schedule that will allow me to study seriously for the LSAT. So I know some basics but that's about it. Any suggestions on where to start? I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed at the moment trying to decide which prep course or books I should buy since they are all so expensive. If 7sage is worth it, I might enroll in it. What are your suggestions? Should I be buying other books or enrolling in other prep courses with 7sage? I've heard mixed reviews about Powerscore and some people have mentioned Loophole and LSAT Trainer. Any thoughts on where I should start would really help. Thank you!
I would love to Blind Review with someone - anyone! I am starting off my LR journey and it could be great to bounce ideas off with someone else. My LR scores are not very consistent yet and can range from timed -9/-5 and BR -5/-2. I am trying to make my way through the earlier tests and eventually PT the more recent ones.

So for me, the mic and camera are fine but the issue is that apparently my computer settings can't be read because it can't connect to the ProctorU system servers and I don't have the ProctorU Extension version. When I went to download it, the sheer level of invasiveness and lack of privacy warning I got before downloading it was extremely concerning. I want to make sure my set up works well before the test itself so I can resolve any issues that may appear, but the privacy issue above, along with what other students were saying in the reviews about not being able to take their exams with the auto proctor makes me wonder if there is possibly any way to avoid having to download that extension? Anyone facing a similar dilemma or have suggestions??
Hi everyone! I'm taking the Jan flex on the 15th and would love some last-minute study tips.
I've noticed a strange pattern where all my PTs prior to 70, I'm getting 171+. Unfortunately I burned thru PTs 71-81 early in my studying, so I don't have those as a frame of reference-- But any PTs I'm taking past 82 I'm consistently stumbling on questions across sections. (Most recent observations is I'm hitting major issues in LR and LG, getting -6 on each when I usually get -2 to -3.)
Has anyone else had similar issues, and any broader ideas on resolving (besides just drilling specific issues I overlooked on a question-to-question basis)?
If the test is similar to PT82, i'll gift myself a Ferrari lol.
I see many people always mention they do one section of the test, Blind review it, and then check their answers, I'm unsure on how I can do this on 7sage?
