Can someone please share an example of using the logical indicator "or" from the negate sufficient group? Thanks!
Aiming to take November Flex. Looking for a study buddy to go over RC passages. Message or comment if interested.
Hi all,
Can we complete the writing sample at any time? I am taking the August Flex tomorrow and I know they opened up the writing sample 8 days ago, but I just want to verify that I'll be able to complete it on test day or in the days following. The language on LSAC's site just says candidates can complete "starting 8 days prior to their LSAT administration."
Logistically, do I need to sign up for a Proctor U time slot or is it an LSAC proctored thing?
Thanks!
Should I be doing a blind review in silence to sort of simulate test conditions without the timer? Was considering listening to music during the blind review since it takes forever to do but not sure. Any thoughts on this?
Hey guys! My score on recent PTs has been swinging up and down like crazy! Like in a matter of one or two weeks I've been at a 171, then a 159, then a 169. Im literally including a link to a photo so you all can see how big these swings are: https://drive.google.com/file/d/11fxiUjcEJUYNQqNxgoCv6rDzlV3EXI0w/view?usp=sharing
If it were only 4 or 5 points I wouldnt care so much... but Im hoping to test in October and want to control for this variation more! The score difference between my last two tests is literally 159-169. What on earth?!
Has anyone experienced this? Any tips to combat this or at least understand what it means?
thank you!!!
Hello all,
With the LSAT Flex format containing less sections than the prior test format, do we know if our scores will be interpreted differently from schools during this upcoming cycle?
My wifi has been cutting out randomly for the past few days (f *ck Sp *ctrum) and I'm starting to get really worried about my flex test on Monday. I had no issues when I took it in July, but the frequency with which my wifi has been cutting out recently has been deeply concerning.
Could I take the LSAT flex on my iphone personal hotspot? I know it can be finicky, but it honestly could be more reliable than my wifi. Also does anyone know what might happen if I lose internet during the test?
Sorry I am new to all of this, i can't see a way to just do one section it always seems to make you do the whole test, can I do only one section on here?
Hi guys! I wanted to create a study group where we all do LSAT prep and study together. I personally have had a hard time doing the LSAT independently, especially when I need clarification on problems. I thought I could create a group where regardless of the test date, we help each other out with prepping and navigating the LSAT! I do plan on creating a GroupMe and also do Zoom study groups as well. Let me know if you are interested so I could create the GroupMe!
*I also have some practice test and resources! That way it would be easier and help us be on the same page with prepping.
Here's the GroupMe link: https://groupme.com/join_group/61869780/6dx4XjOY
My absolute best lsat work comes about 4-6 hours into a full day of studying. Right now I'm coming up with workshops of laid back lessons and section reviews that I've done a million times to transition me into my test on Sunday (3:30). I'm planning on reviewing for 3-5 hours before taking the test and yeah, I know that there are plenty of people that would label me a psychopath, but since we have this score preview/cancel option (first time taker) I don't see why I shouldn't go with my gut and do this. The main reason I think this will work for the flex is because I can transition almost instantly from workshopping to the test with no change of environment. Lastly, the only time I absolutely bomb sections is when I just hop into it with little or no review. Any other students like this or similar approaches that have worked?
Hey everyone! I know eating, breathing and living LSAT prep for the past couple of months can take a toll on one's mental health. If anyone is interested in making a group to keep each other accountable, share our feelings (& ugh I guess we can discuss LSAT material... :'( ) please comment your FACEBOOK below or DM it to me if you're interested!
I have a thinkpad laptop, I wonder if I could plugin a monitor and use the monitor to answer questions during the exam.
Thank!
I took a practice test this morning and got a 167. Would be extremely happy if I got this on my actual test this weekend. Any advice on what to do these last couple days? I just feel really tired and want to sleep all day.
I noticed that JY sometimes chains certain "some" "most" and "all" statements for MBT LR questions. Does anyone know where he explains the logic? It mostly makes sense but i want a better explanation than just winging it.
So I am registered for the October flex, does anyone know when scheduling for the date and time of this online exam opens? Or has it already opened? If so, where can I register, because there is nothing to register for a date and time in my LSAC account.
Hey, whats up.
I am taking the LSAT in October and reading comprehension is by far my worst section. I could use any tips that has helped you so I could try and see if it helps me. I am generally getting -10 to -13 per section. I would love to get that down before I actually take the exam.
Thanks
I had to take some time off of studying because Covid had a huge impact on my family and I was so overwhelmed with sadness I couldn't focus on the LSAT. However, I need to get back into studying, but I cannot stay motivated. I can literally sit to start reading and I will instantly find something else to do. I used to eat breath and sleep LSAT AND ACTUALLY love it. Now, I cannot find the urge to do it. I need someone who can make sure that I stick to my studies, as I will do the same. I would like someone who is willing to commit. I am in NY and I would prefer someone in my time zone. I am available every day after 4 pm. However, I can be available earlier certain days of the week if we discuss it in advance. I am comfortable with FaceTiming, zoom, text, calls, whatever is necessary to make sure we get the best out of the partnership. As of right now my untimed LSAT average is 165. I still have much to learn, but my LSAT goal is 172-175. I have a 3.8 LSAC CGPA. I am not necessarily working towards top 14 schools, I just want to have the best opportunity of receiving a full tuition scholarship.
Below you will see my section performance:
Logical Reasoning
Logic Games
Reading Comprehension
If you are interested in being my accountability partner please message me with what you would like out of the partnership.
Thanks!
I'm writing on Wednesday the 2nd and I got my highest score on my last PT (this Monday). Should I take another before or leave it?
Hey guys,
If youd like to join a study group there will be a review tonight for pt 63 passages 1/2 in the rc secrion. There will also be reviews daily. Please message if you'd like the link.

My LSAC account doesn't have my middle initial as I didn't input it because it's not a required field. Does this matter when taking the LSAT flex because the ID I will use contains my middle name or does it not matter? Would really appreciate any input as I'm writing tomorrow haha

Hi everyone,
I am feeling really discouraged. My diagnostic was a 145 and did not change substantially until I did 7sage. Last week, I got a 156, which was AMAZING to me, and I couldn't believe it. Now my score has only gotten worse: I got a 154, then a 149, and today I got a 147. This has all been in the span of a week or so. I'm very sad and I was planning on taking all of Friday off to relax, and do some drills today in my problem areas. Saturday is August LSAT Day.
What do you guys think? Is this a good idea? Any words of advice or encouragement? It's hard to not feel hopeless. I'm really hoping to get into the 150s so I don't have to go through this again, and I think that is what is making me so anxious.
EDIT: Would like to note that I have essentially cherrypicked my needs in the CC, because I definitely did not have time to do all of it, as much as I would have loved to. I started using the LSAT Trainer and studied very inconsistently, but it wasn't until July that I started really picking up on concepts and stuff. I know that my situation is less than ideal, but I think it's important for the full context to be here too. Please don't be harsh, as I know what I should have done.
Not sure if everyone else has seen this yet, but November was just switched to flex officially. Registration deadline also moved up to the 23rd of September I believe.
Hey I want to create a study group to BR with 2-3 times a week. I have found this to be the most useful for improvement. I have broken 170 only once and my average is 168! I would love to study in a group in the same range. RC is my weakest!
I am trying to access the course on my iPad and for some reason it will just show a blank screen. Does anyone know the way around that? Thanks!
