LG is by far my worst section, my biggest issue is recognizing what set up a game needs when they're a bit more complex. What do you think is the best way to practice recognizing what set up a game requires?

Hi people,

I am taking the November FLEX and currently debating on whether to register for the January FLEX. This decision ultimately comes down to whether or not I will have my results before the registration deadline for the January administration (Dec 2nd).

I am wondering if I will actually know my result from the previous exam before the deadline. It seems plausible in this case because typically it takes about 3 weeks to get results, but LSAC being LSAC I would not be surprised if they announced scores on Dec 3rd, forcing me to pay another $300 for an LSAT I may not need to take (YAY LSAC).

Would love to hear what people think about this one.

I'm a bit new to this and don't know a lot. Is the writing section mandatory? Does it cost money and do you take it the same way as the LSAT (like having a proctor)? Looking for any info! Thanks(:

Hey! Since the flex test is now the official form for the next few tests, how should I do the preptests? Should I stick with doing full PTs or should I only complete one LR section and compute the score myself? I feel like only doing full PTs before the Oct exam threw me off when it came to doing the flex. Any advice for how to go about this?

I really hate this test. Like I really really do. But I finally beat it! I have three pieces of advice:

On RC, if you are struggling with time or around -5/-7, you're probably going back to the passage way more than you need. Try going back less. You'll save time, but probably not much accuracy.

Chill out on test day! My anxiety DESTROYED me (and my score) on the July exam. Part of my success on the Oct exam was that I had adapted a "f*ck it, what ever happens, happens" attitude after the emotional rollercoaster of the first two exams. I was able to focus on the questions on the test on Oct, instead of worrying about how the test was going while taking it. Try to calm down!

For LR, before July, I was getting -3/-4 purely on intuition. I hadn't really understood argument structures, indicators, etc. Starting to actually learn the logic of what was going on made me much more consistently score -1/-2.

Before my Jan exam: Khan Academy, Bibles, 7sage

Before my July Exam: 7sage (mostly PTs, not much curriculum)

Before my Oct Exam: Tutoring (DM me for info, I highly recommend my dude)

Standardized testing is a classist scam designed to gatekeep higher education. I despise the fact that the LSAT ruled my life for 1.5 years, but I'm immensely proud of myself for persevering. You can do it too!

My diagnostic was a 147!! It took me a month to get to the 150s, 3 months to get to the 160s, and alllll the rest to get to the 170s. YOU CAN DO IT! It will suck. But this test is learnable. You got this.

Hey everyone,

Anyone out there taking the Feb or April LSAT and looking for a study buddy/ acct. partner? I work full-time. Evenings are usually best for me. Please let me know if interested. I really want to do well & need help.

Hello fellow 7Sagers!

I'm looking to start a study group for highly-motivated individuals aiming to take the April 2021 LSAT. Hoping this group can serve as a source of accountability and foster collective learning so that we can all progress on our LSAT journey and achieve our goals. Individuals scoring in all ranges are welcome!

I’m considering applying early decision for a certain T14 school. However, I’m still waiting on my October Flex score. I don’t think I did as well as I wanted to in October due to nerves, so I’m currently signed up for the January LSAT too.

If I apply somewhere ED and get rejected, can I re-apply in January with my new score? Would you recommend just applying in January? I feel like it’s such a gamble since it’s a little late in the game.

Delaying a cycle is NOT an option for me - I’ve already delayed two application cycles.

Thank you!

If you're retaking the LSAT and already have a writing sample on file, do you have to retake the writing section?

If anyone knows that would be helpful! Thanks!

I am currently registered for the Nov test but I think I want to take more time to study and take it in January instead. I’m really confused on how to change the test date on LSAC. Please help!

Hi friends, I have looked at a couple of posts regarding this topic from awhile back, but I figured I ask the question again in order to find out if anyone is doing anything differently, or what, if anything, has helped them in the past in reviewing reading comprehension?

I am aiming to hit the low to mid 170s by Jan 2021 test day. I am currently PT-ing in the mid to high 160s, with the occasional 170s thrown in between. My reading comprehension has proven by far to be the most inconsistent (going anywhere from -1 to -8), followed by LR (-4/5), with LG being my strongest (averaging -1).

Thank you so very much! Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Hi - Can I enter answers for preptest I did on Lawhub for analytics directly without doing the test again? #help

Are we allowed to search for various words/sentences during the reading comp section? Since LSAC views our screens, I want to make sure that executing this function will be ok and won't result in being disqualified! People who have confirmed this with LSAC please lmk :)

Want to focus on harder ones so I'm not surprised on test day. I have access to all of them and have taken 82, 81, 79, 78, 76, 70, 69, 66, 54, 18, 17, and J07 (and I took PT 89 when it was a real LSAT administration). Particularly want to challenge myself on Logic Games (my weakest section) but other hard sections are good too. All advice welcome!

Hi guys, it’s my first LSAT (and FLEX) and I was just wondering why APAC region does not support February LSAT despite it being a FLEX version.

Does this mean as long as we’re taking the exam in Asia, we cannot register for it whatsoever (due to tech, IP reasons, etc)?

OR if we could make it to the test based on NA region time (which will be night time + in Asia), could we also just register for the Feb Flex?

Thanks for your help in advance!

I've read through the 7sage approved tutor list thousands of times but i can't pick one because they all seem exactly the same. does anyone have any reviews (good or bad) on any lsat tutor???

Hi!

I haven't really taken to doing JY's approach to comparative passages throughout my studying process-- that is, dipping into the questions after reading the first passage. I've typically figured that it would be a time suck, but have recently started to sense that it could benefit me. Can anyone speak to this? I'm taking the Nov test in a week, and I'm wondering if it's worth it to hone this approach, rather than sticking to the read both passages and then dive into the questions method.

Thanks!!

Can someone explain the answer for this question please?

Anyone else who is taking the November LSAT-Flex underestimate how much brain space the election would take up? I know I should turn off the news, but it's SO hard. UGH.

i read a lot of posts lately about the unusually high number of apps this year (followed by tons of other discussions explaining why). although there may be a lot of different reasons for this, there seems to be a theory that the apps are up high because of covid-19 and that more people are looking at graduate school, law school not being an exception.

what does this mean for us? well, the first thought i had of was, of course, the more competitive application pool, which kinda gives a gloomy sentiment. but 2020 is already bad as is, so i wanted to bring up a crazy prediction: the application pool may in fact turn out to be "less competitive" than before! here are two reasons why:

it takes a long time to score high on the lsat for most people.

most people who are suddenly into law school because of covid-19 will not be adequately prepared for the lsat, compared to people who had been considering law school even before covid and had been preparing for this exam for a long time. as a result, there would be more numbers of lower lsat scores (which doesn't contradict the statistic that there are way more +165 scorers applying this year)

acceptance rate is one of the indicators that determines law school rankings, along with median lsat and gpa.

if there are way more applicants, there will be way more rejections. law schools would have an extra cushion to fall back on, and so they might be a bit more liberal in admitting people with lower stats than they were in the previous cycles.

obviously, i'm not accounting for countless other facts or factors that play a role. well, i'm no fortune-teller and this post was not meant to start a debate. just wanted to diversify the predictions for fun.

good luck everyone whether you are studying for the lsat or are in the waiting game after submitting apps!

covid sucked and still does, but the sun always shines after a storm!

Wondering if I can get some clarification on these, or if any of the diagrams are wrong?

A requires B = A --> B

A is required for/by B = A --> B

A is necessary for B = A --> B

A necessitates B = A --> B

A needs B = A --> B

All that is required for A is B = A --> B

Also, how could one use require/necessary such that it is B --> A, with B appearing in the sentence first?

Thanks a lot!

Hello,

I was so busy with midterms at school this week that I totally forgot to renew my 7sage (grandfathered) Ultimate+ account. I have literally been with 7sage forever. I think I was supposed to renew a day or two ago, but with so much stuff going on at school I totally forgot to do it. (It would be really really great if we could get an email reminder to renew our accounts).

Also, I am planning to take the next LSAT really soon, and the sudden price change from what I am paying now to what I would have to pay is too much for me to continue with my usual account. Can someone please please help?? I am really upset and panicked at the thought of not being able to keep my account!!!

For anyone who's take the flex- whats the proctor experience/check in process like? Is the format of the test exactly like its on LSAC law hub? When you finish a section, does the next one start immediately?

So with my flex exam approaching in literally less than 2 weeks, I am low-key worried. I have been taking about 2-3 .. sometimes 4 exams per week with one day of review in between. I have noticed some decent increases in my scores and even hitting like 170 once (never thought that was possible for me) which is encouraging. However, I chalk that up to luck and try not to think too much about it since my score still fluctuates anywhere from a 160-167 with my average being around a 165. Has anyone else noticed fluctuations like this in their analytics? I know it might be due to the fact that some exams are harder than others, but I can't help but worry a bit since I feel like I could literally score anything from a 160-167 on test day. The uncertainty is just killing me. I have noticed that LR seems to be the one section that generally drags my score down. I have always been best at LG and then RC which leaves LR as my weakness and basically the bane of my existence lol I have been targeting LR questions stems that I have the most trouble with and used the Loophole in conjunction with 7sage. Though I experienced some headway and managed to get my LR down from -8/9 to -2 to -5/6, I am now seeing a drastic decrease in my LR performance once again. I have been scoring probably around -8 to -12 being my worst and it's just freaking me out. I am not sure what else to do besides taking individual LR sections and focusing on my weak points. I am thinking of starting a wrong answer journal, but I find that most of my mistakes are usually due to misreading or missing a keyword. I also have an issue where I get down to 2 answer choices and I almost always somehow choose the wrong one over the correct one :'( In this past week, I noticed I get more tensed with LR as well which causes me to overthink some of the questions and answer choices.. My anxiety is just terrible over this section so yikes. I would appreciate any advice/ tips at this point as I am desperate to get back to at least a -5/-6 on LR so I can maximize my chances of scoring on the higher end of my scores.

Also, for context, I am mainly taking the PT's in the 70's to 80's. I generally score fine in LR for PT's into the 60's. And yes, I am aware that LR gets trickier or more "difficult" in the 70's to 80's so that could explain some of this. Again, any advice would help at this point T.T Thank you!
