Hi all --

I am feeling a little defeated by LR. I've been studying for almost a year and I seriously feel like I haven't improved at all when I see my score. My diagnostic was 153, so there has been SOME improvement. However, I am BRing in the 170s and have gotten 180 before! This gives me SOME hope that I can get there, but what gives? I cannot seem to figure out how to master this section!

For overall PTs, I have scored typically between 160-167 (one 168). I took PT 80 today and got a 161 (-7LR S1, -7 RC, -3 LG, -10 LR S4). The LG score was a bit abnormal for me, it was a reassignment game that threw me off. I am so hoping to get a 168-170 range on my test in July, but I honestly have no clue how to go about improving. I've had a tutor, but that particular person was not helpful for me.

Anyways, I am going to really focus on LR and RC this last month. I wouldn't say I am struggling consistently with one type of question because it truly seems it is all over the place! Maybe principle questions? I struggle with the questions that are level 4/5 in difficulty. I realize a lot of the time I am making careless mistakes either due to misreading or being overly critical of one AC, but not the other. It is very common for me to be stuck on two ACs. Any advice on how to improve AC confidence specifically in the newer tests? I've tried hyper skipping, but still struggle to find extra time at the end to go back or I struggle to refresh my mind and convince myself that I haven't selected the right choice.

For RC, I seem to always struggle with questions that have to do with inferring what the author would be likely to agree with or weaken/strengthen. This section is usually -4 or -7 for me.

What kind of studying should I be doing this last month to close the gap? At this point I am seriously stressing over whether or not it is even POSSIBLE to grab a few more points on the test considering how long it seems I have stayed in the mid-160s..

I would really appreciate any advice!!

Hi everyone!

Thought i'd share my little snafu in hopes of preventing this from happening to anyone else. After endlessly reading 7sage discussion boards of what to do the day before the test, I went to the gym to get a nice workout in to "clear my mind." Well, if you have not been to the gym in a while because you've been studying or because quarantine has closed your gym up until now, this might be a BAD idea.

I ended up working out for a couple hours and herniating a disc in my back and was unable to move. Full on flat on the floor lying on ice and heat for 24 hours. Thank GOD the LSAT Flex lets you reschedule your time. I changed my test to today (Monday) and was able to recover enough to get through it.

Moral of the story - don't do anything too intense at the gym the day before!! :-P

Hello all,

I’m making my way through the Core Curriculum. I just finished LR about a week ago, now I’m making my way through LG. I’m wondering your approach as you move forward.

Do you only focus on the current section (LG) or do continue practicing LR so that it stays fresh in your mind?

Your input will be much appreciated!

My PT average is 170. I had to guess on three questions. Yikes. I could easily get anywhere from 157-175 on this one hahaha. Oh well. First real LSAT. I get 2 more tries before the clock runs out for apps. How did you guys feel?

Hey Everyone!

Curious about how everyone approaches those SUPER detail oriented questions in RC? I'm talking about the questions that ask something like, "Each of the following is mentioned as an attribute of the opponents theory EXCEPT" so every incorrect AC is more or less explicitly stated in the passage and you just need to figure the detail that wasn't discussed.

I'm happy with my accuracy on these questions (typically get them correct) but they tend to be more of a time sink that other questions in RC (~1.5-2 minutes). For background, I tend to spend a lot more time upfront in the passage highlighting and then even writing a super quick outline of the passage on my scrap paper (3.5-5.5 minutes).

Curious if anyone has any suggestions for me. Do you think that since I spend so much time upfront I ought to answer these questions without looking back at the passage for the most part and I need to work on holding more of the details in my short-term memory? Should I just resign myself to the fact that these questions simply reward the ability to discriminate between what is explicitly stated vs. what is not and accept that these questions do in fact take longer than others?

I'll have to travel to take the August lsat, but I'm not really sure about what will happen in regards to Covid19 during that time. Does anyone know if the Flex can be taken in a different country than the one I registered for?

Hi,

So the correct answer here was E. I can see why all the wrong answers are wrong, but I had a really hard time accepting that E is right because I saw "doctors" here as referring to ALL doctors (and I don't think we know anything about all doctors from this stimulus). I made this inference because from past experience in other LSAT preptests, in the absence of quantifying language like some/most, I thought that we construe it to refer to ALL (ie PT70.S4.Q18, where E is correct because "managers" refers to ALL managers).

#Help

Thanks!

Best regards

Just wonder if we are allowed to use tablets like yoga or surface with their pencils? Or we have to take the flex on the normal computer with mouse? Thanks!

I have messaged 7sage people about something and my exam is tomorrow. I'm hoping that they will see it in time, but it's the weekend so I'm worried. This is a last ditch effort. Good luck to everyone!

How difficult was the test?

I know this has been asked already, but that was 6 years ago. I am on the weakening part of the syllabus and there are 15 problem sets. I feel kind of comfortable almost halfway through, so I get the urge to move on. However, I am not sure if that is a good strategy. Do you guys move on to another section in order to save some problem sets for later?

Hi everyone, I have a question on the time when the exams start. Do they do a fixed time all around the country or is it based on your time zone? Also, when does the exam start? Morning or afternoon, or does it vary based on which day you choose to take the test? Thanks!

I was wondering if there is anyone who feels the same but I feel like I am not improving on LR accuracy even after practicing sections after sections. I review all the questions I flagged and got wrong but it just seems like I will still get -6 or -8 the next time. I will also redo them and get most of them right.

I scored a 163 on the May flex and I am really looking to get to 170 on the July one. I feel like doing better on LR is essential for me to get closer to that goal.

For people who have any success stories about improving significantly on LR, would you mind sharing your approach and some advice if possible? I would really appreciate that. Living along for about 3 month now, the stress and anxiety is building up...

Hi everyone.

Just two quick questions on the LSAT Flex:

Is the full screen option available on the real LSAT Flex? (Just like 7Sage where you can maximize it to the extent of your web browser.) LSAC's LawHub simulator does not seems to support them but I'm guessing they're simulating the in-person digital tablet test, not the Flex.

Also, are line numbers cited on RC? Again, LawHub's simulator doesn't cite line numbers, which is a bit bonkers...

Thank you.

Two boring questions:

Do we need to print out admission ticket? I'm assuming no but want to be safe

Do we need to have our phones with us to show we turned them off?

Hi,

Is it possible to take a practice section through 7 sage without taking the whole test? I am unable to click on a section without going through the prior sections first.

Thanks!

I take my test in half an hour and wanted to log-on early... I have gone to ProctorU but don't see anything besides my exam time. How do I connect to a proctor??

Hi everyone,

So I am determined to apply this upcoming cycle and have registered for the August test. However, I want to leave room for a second attempt so I am considering signing up for the October test as well.

My plan would be to see how my score is from August -I believe I would get the result in late September- and then I would withdraw from the October test depending on whether or not I am satisfied with my score.

I honestly don't care so much about losing money for the late withdrawal at this point; I just want the added peace of mind that comes with knowing I have a possible second attempt.

I am just wondering whether or not a late withdrawal will be reflected on my application negatively, if it appears there at all.

Would anyone be aware of these details?

I would appreciate any help and advice very much!

Hi I am scheduled to write the exam tomorrow but on the proctor U website now it just says pending on the status rather than the time i registered for. Does yours also say the same ? Thanks

I decided to withdraw from this weekend's administration. On the status page on LSAC's website I do not see any option to withdraw. I gave them a call but they are not open until Wednesday. I sent an email and also submitted a message on their contact us page. Is there anything else to do in order to avoid an absent marking for the exam? Did I misinterpret the withdraw deadline? Is n't it at midnight tonight?

Thank you for any insights!

What does it mean when your doing a problem set and it has priority ( very low, low high and very high)? Is this the matter of how important it is on the LSAT?

I am having trouble viewing the quick view on certian question- it says the link is expired. I can view the question when going to the explination and when looking at earlier tests but not the mid 40+ range tests.

Anyone in Hawaii also studying for the LSAT? Would love to be study buddies.

Looking forward to hearing from some of you!

Hey everyone,

I am taking the July 14th flex exam and was curious if anyone has had an issue of "download speed can't be found" I have tested it on other websites and am downloading at a speed 3x higher than recommended. Wondering if anyone else has had this experience and what was done to fix it.

thanks
