Is anyone else having issues with some answers being saved incorrectly when they complete the BR portion?

We will now allow test takers to use a regular or mechanical pencil, or a pen, while taking the LSAT-Flex. You will still need to show your writing utensil(s) to the proctor during the check-in period.

In addition, test takers may use soft, non-electronic, non-corded/banded, generic foam ear plugs, which will need to be shown to and approved by your LSAT-Flex proctor.

I like it!!

Why was this B, not C?

Hello,

I have been mastering the LR and LG sections but my main issue is with RC ! Can't manage to get less than 9-10 mistakes per section.

I need tips and help please !!!!

Not really a discussion, I just think y'all should add a tag for except questions.

I have a sneaky feeling that analytics would show that to be one of my biggest priorities of study if that tag was available. I also think that it's just generally useful.

Thanks!

I am looking for a couple of people who are struggling with RC.. for the October test.. currently scoring in the 150's -160's.. I am wanting to do one passage per day timed and then do a blind review as a group.. for example one test = 4 days worth of passages.. If interested please message me and I will get a group going.. I have friends who did this and they went from -10/-12 in RC to -2/-3.

Thanks,

Madison

Looking for 7sagers in Alaska - want to form a LG study group.

Hi Everyone! My university sent the transcript to the following address (w/ the LSAT form) and when I called LSAC they said they never received it.... even though it was sent 3 weeks ago. I'm glad I called!

Just to confirm, is this the right address?

LSAC

Box 2000-M

Newton, Pennsylvania

18940-0933 United States

Thanks!

I ended up going with answer choice C and quickly skimmed through D and E.

I am having a hard time understanding why E is a better answer choice than C.

Thanks in advance!

Hello!

I am currently scoring in the 150's and am hopeful to increase this to 160 by October. Please let me know if you would like to create a study group and do BR's together! We can work via zoom!

Thank you!

Thanks!

I'm requesting transcripts from a community college because I took a summer class there, and it has the option of sending them to "Law School Admissions Council--JD--LSAC---LSAC Box 2000" or "Law School Admissions Council--LLM--LSAC--LLM Credential Assembly Service."

Are these the same thing? My undergrad institution didn't have the option of selecting either one, it just said LSAC.

Hey folks,

I'm scheduled for 8/30 at 4:20 pm...Looking for someone to bounce prep tests against for review. I just broke into the 160s after a 141 diagnostic in May (after COVID for 2 weeks and a full time job) so I've seen progress, but it's not consistent and I'm suffering in the same 2 areas: LR (flaw/parallel) and RC. LG is pretty consistent with -0~2 on regular and usually 0 on BR So I can help with that if someone needs feedback. I've taken the last 2 weeks off and the next 2 weeks so I'm aiming for that finish line.

Looking for someone who wants to keep it up on a daily basis with me and also wants an accountability buddy. I'm not delusional enough to believe I'll break 170s in the next 2 weeks, but a few points here and there and some consistency in scoring would be awesome. Don't get me wrong...I'm studying as if a 180 is possible, so expect that kind of commitment.

Who's hyped enough to finishing up these next 2 weeks?! Message me and get ready for most of your day to be filled with problem sets and PTs~~

Who knew that I would open an email from LSAC and actually be happy?!

LSAC has approved the use of ear plugs for the August Flex!!! woohoo!

Here's the exact language from LSAC:

"We are pleased to announce that in response to requests from test takers, we are making a few changes to the items test takers are allowed to use during the online, remotely proctored LSAT-Flex.

We will now allow test takers to use a regular or mechanical pencil, or a pen, while taking the LSAT-Flex. You will still need to show your writing utensil(s) to the proctor during the check-in period.

In addition, test takers may use soft, non-electronic, non-corded/banded, generic foam ear plugs, which will need to be shown to and approved by your LSAT-Flex proctor."

On my desk I have a few decorative items, books, and a plant. Will I need to remove these items when I take the LSAT flex?

Hi everyone,

I wanted to write this post for people who have been diagnosed with a mental illness/disorder and are considering applying for disability accommodations. If you feel like studying for the LSAT is a lot harder because of your diagnoses, my advice is to consider talking to a therapist about applying for disability accommodations. I was diagnosed with obsessive compulsive disorder my junior year of college and got good grades because most of my finals were take home and had amazing understanding teachers. However, the LSAT was something that I just had a lot of difficulty overcoming and felt like I had to sacrifice many things in my life and study 10 hours daily just to catch up on time loss from getting stuck on obsessions or doing my compulsions. After one year of studying and talking to my therapist, I realized that OCD is something that I simply couldn't shut off when taking practice tests so I applied for disability accommodations for extra time and got it! I realized that life does't have to be so hard and that accommodations was going to put in a fair playing field. I'm writing this post because a year ago when I first started studying for the LSAT, I didn't know that I could qualify for LSAT accommodations because I assumed that it was only for people diagnosed with a learning disability. But now that I know more, I wanted to write this post for anyone who also has OCD or a different mental illness to consider applying for accommodations. You deserve to make life easier for yourself. I hope this message can shed light for other OCD sufferers studying for the LSAT (3 & def sending positive vibes for the disability community ! We are strong and worthy of going after our goals.(/p)

Hi everyone, August Lsat-flex taker here.

I wanted to ask what kind of scratch paper we are allowed to use. I think it states blank paper but I heard from lots of people that took the previous flex that they used lined paper without problems.

I would also prefer to use lined because my writing tends to get messy with blanked.

I have created a groupme for daily blind review sessions.. we will be doing RC blind review every morning at 730 pst / 1030 est. We will be doing 1 rc passage per morning. At night we will do Lr 630 pst 930est.. we will break the lr blind reviews into 2 sessions questions 1-15 and 16-25/26 so that the sessions run about an hour tops each..allowing more time for the harder lr questions... if anyone would like to join the link is posted below.. hope to see all of you!

Hi all,

I am trying to test out my laptop system requirements as recommended by LSAC for people taking the August LSAT. The LSAC website mentions testing the system through ProctorU once you've created an account, but when I go to created an account within ProctorU (selecting "Law School Admissions Council" as my institution) I get the message that LSAC does not permit creating ProctorU accounts. Does anyone know how to create an account? Has anyone had luck testing their system?

Thank you in advance for your wisdom!

Hi everyone,

So I am currently registered for the August Flex. I've been studying since May and I've averaged a 154 across 7 prep tests post CC and this has been while avoiding guesswork as much as possible- if I don't get to a question, I just leave it blank.

Generally I miss around 20 or so questions per PT. This includes an entire RC passage, an entire LG and probably 5-7 LR questions.

With my GPA I really only need a 157 or 158 to have a good chance of being admitted to a Canadian Law School.

My thinking is that even now, were I just to guess on those last 20 or so questions, I would come very close to these scores. This is without factoring in any improvement I see by August. Then of course there's the test day penalty to consider as well...

I am really at loss of what to do here. I'm not sure whether I should just go for this cycle, write in August and potentially again in October/November, or whether I should take as much time as I need and just apply for the following cycle.

For reference, I'm averaging around -8 on LR, -9/-10 on LG and a paltry -11 on RC right now (I've neglected RC quite a bit up to this point.)

I would appreciate any suggestions or advice because honestly I am at a loss right now.

Can someone please explain to me why AC (D) is the correct choice; I'm stuck.

Hi everyone,

Here is a question, about weakening a claim, from my error journal:

Claim: Organic factors contribute to mental illness.

(A) the claim fails to consider that mental illnesses are only manifestations of organic factors.

(B) the claim fails to consider that any change in organic factors manifests itself as a change in mental condition.

Would you mind sharing your analysis of whether each of the choices is correct or not?

My specific issues:

Thank you very much for your time!

I've taken a diagnostic and scored a 146. I was wondering which study plan would be the most effective. Right now I'm on the grammar section. Assuming that I have enough time to do all these options, which study method is better?

Hi,

I started studying LSAT on April. It has been about 5 months. I have improved about 10 points from very first test. However, this is where I stand now. I have no improvement anymore for about a month already. I am currently taking like 3 PrepTests per week. All tests and BR came out to be around the same result with no improvement. I feel like I am stuck. Would any of you please share how to improve more? I need to get at least 10 more points. My weakness is RC. However, any tips for any section would be appreciated. Thank you so much. I am stuck and stressed.
