Hey. I took the July LSAT Flex, but I don't have a link available to do the writing. I have been on hold with LSAC to no avail, and I sent LSATwriting an email. Anyone else having this problem?

Thanks

If I took and canceled the July 2020 LSAT do I count as a first time test taker and qualify for score preview for August?

Have you found that 7Sage's 12 hour length for each practice test is accurate or do they just give a time on the higher end so as not to mislead. I have only done core curriculum lessons so far so I have not given a practice test/blind review a go yet. Bonus question: would anyone recommend interspersing some of the earlier practice tests with the core curriculum, or is it highly recommended to complete CC before taking on all of the tests after June 2007?

Hi fellow future/current lawyers! I am having a hard time weighing my overall gpa. My first two years, at my first institution, my gpa is pretty low to be honest. But my last two years a solid Big Ten school is much better. Will my second transcript be weighed significantly more or will the averaged gpa be the main thing schools look at?

Hi,

So I'm new here and I can't seem to navigate the site.

I'm sorry but this is a bit frustrating. The video I watched did not do much. Is there a way I can take individual sections without starting from the first section in an order. For example, I want to take the LR sections in PT 57 which are the 3rd and 4th. I am unable to do that because it automatically wants me to start with the first section. Please help.

I hope some of you will find laughter from this plus it's a PSA haha. I took the flex yesterday and LMAOOO just wanted to share with y'all that I didn't know/forgot we could only use number 2 pencils. So when my proctor was like "uhhhhh my guy are those MECHANICAL pencils? sorry they can't be mechanical...do you have any number 2 pencils?" I started to panic and rummaged through my entire house until I found 2 dull ass number 2 pencils. But wait, no sharpener. Only had a knife. It was the first time I ever sharpened a pencil with a knife in my life LOLOL we really hate to see it. The exam wasn't that bad. I usually PT from 167 - 172 (RC is my kryptonite rip) but I was so frazzled so I feel like LR/RC could have been better if my mind was in the right place. Ended up rereading stimuluses and parts of passages just because my angst got the best of me. But during the exam it was one of those moments where I knew if I was in the right headspace I would have complete control of the exam. You feel me? Nothing crazy out of the ordinary. Made some educated guesses on more questions than I would have liked and if the stars align we chillin, if not then rip. It sucks that I paid 200 for what is now essentially a practice exam but hey great learning experience and now I have HELLLAAAAA number 2 pencils and a sharpener for next time. Don't forget your number 2 pencils!!! Who's on this August train with yo'boy??

Which approach benefited you?

Does anyone know if Georgetown changes the optional essay prompts each year?

Is it worth writing one from last admissions cycle or should I just wait until the new application comes out?

Thanks!

Like others, I don't know if I performed to expectation on July. I'm pretty sure I killed LG, did okay on LR, but may have bombed RC (that tribes passage...)

My last few PTs before the test were 171, 170, and 175. I'd be happy at this point if I managed to get a mid-high 160 but my brain is giving me a huge possible range of scores from below my diagnostic to possibly around where I was scoring by the end.

I'm really happy with my LG performance since I spent most time working on it throughout my prep (thank you 7sage, Foolproofing Method, & Pacifico's Attack Method). I'm fairly confident I went -0 or -1 unless I missed something important, but I had time to check everything over. But I can't stop thinking about RC since it's always been my most consistent section but for this test I only had a few minutes left at the end of it, and I didn't feel confident about most of my answers from a couple of the passages.

While I'm loathe to give LSAC any more money then it's already taken from me, I'm going to need a fairly high LSAT since I'm a splitter with a horrible GPA (though at least I'd be a mature candidate, so I have that going for me).

What do you guys think? What have you guys done? I've been feeling a little nauseous ever since I finished the July Flex and I can't stop thinking about it.

Hello 7Sagers,

I've been very proactive in my studying and spending 4 hours a day studying every week for the past 6 weeks, but I've been facing a lot of mental challenges. I constantly feel fatigued and tired, but when I see how hard everyone on this forum works; it motivates me to work even harder. Yet, there are days where I can't mentally function and my brain feels so tired, and I feel extremely guilty, if i'm not being productive or doing some type of work. It's getting to a point where I am almost burning out every other week and it has started to take a toll on my social relationships as well. I want to do really well on this test, but at the same time I know the rate I'm going at is extremely unhealthy. I really could use some advice, if anyone could offer me any.

Has anyone doing the course out of order? Like starting with RC instead of LR. If so, what have your results been like?

Is anyone interested in forming a small study group? I consistently scored 169-170 on PT's. However, I took the LSAT Flex today and I know I felt didn't score anywhere near those scores. Therefore, I had to cancel my score. I am looking to bridge the gap on my weaknesses and hopefully I can help do the same for others.

Hey,

Is there an easy way to add questions to Problem Sets from the Prep Test performance screen after taking a Practice test?

Thanks!

I initially took the 7sage course back in 2019 and scored a 153 and then a 151 in Feb of this year. Would it be worth it to go through the course again in hopes of a 160+? I feel like the last time I ran through most of the material.

Hi everyone,

I am pretty sure this question has been asked on this for in the past so apologies in advance.

I'm taking the flex exam on the 17th. I read somewhere that I just have to submit the writing sample before scores are released for the July exam. Can anyone please confirm if this is true? I couldn't find where on LSAC's webpage this "due date" was mentioned. :(

Hello. I'm a full-time parent who works full time. I need to take the October LSAT. I would love to form a group that has the same lifestyle so we can help each other study. I am from Miami, Florida. Let me know if you are interested :) Thanks!

I am interested in joining this Study Group. I am taking the LSAT in November.

HELP!

I took the June 2020 Flex and received a 165. My PT averages were around 161 so I was pretty happy with that. However, I had to guess on the last LG due to time, so it makes me wonder if I can do even better than a 165. Should I retake? What are the downsides of retaking?

I had a very stressful experience with ProctorU and it took almost 2 hours until I was finally able to log on and start the exam due to various technical difficulties and multiple disconnects from their tech support. When I was finally able to start the exam I was still extremely stressed and on the verge of a panic attack, and asked my proctor to pause the exam briefly so that I could regain my composure (I was hyperventilating, dizzy, and shaking severely). The exam was paused for about 30 seconds and I was not far into the section at all, and the exam proceeded with no other issues. I asked the proctor if my score would be cancelled or if my test would have to be reviewed due to the pause, and she said she didn't know. I'm wondering if anyone has experienced anything similar or has any insight to offer on how this could impact whether or not I receive a score.

I was stuck between B and C and don't see why B is wrong. Doesn't it support the claim that it IS better to dump in a scarcely populated area?

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if any one could please clarify this phrase on the LSAT Flex FAQ page. It says:

Q: What electronic devices are prohibited?

A: "One cell phone is allowed for use as a mirror during check-in as instructed by your proctor, but it must be turned off and put away as instructed by the proctor before the test begins. Additional cell phones are prohibited."

https://www.lsac.org/update-coronavirus-and-lsat/lsat-flex

I was wondering what exactly "use as a mirror during check-in" mean? Does this mean that it's mandatory for me to bring my cell phone to my desk? (I was planning to turn it off & put it away long before the test starts for peace of mind, but now I'm not sure whether I need to have it with me and also have it turned on at the beginning of the test? Seems rather odd.)

Also, what is a "check-in"???

I'd be much grateful if anyone could please provide any clarification on this. Thank you in advance!

Do I need to finish the writing section before I see my July score on the 30th, or do I just need to complete it before submitting my score to schools in the fall? Thanks!

I just took the writing portion and as I started to take notes on the scenario given to me, I realized there was NO prompt to show the camera my scratch paper. I had already written a few words on on the paper but I stopped and I said to the camera something like “I think I was supposed to show you the paper. There was no prompt to do so but here it is even tho I just wrote on it.” And I showed it both sides and what I had written at that point. I probably lost about 30 seconds due to this and the panic that I felt.

One side of the paper was shown when I did my room/desk scan. But not the other side till after I took some notes.

Ugh. Did anyone else have this experience? Do you think they will disqualify me? This is a time sensitive issue and I’m not sure if it’s better to call them or just hope for the best and not make a big deal out of it.

Hey,

First, thanks for taking time to read this! I'm taking the July Flex this afternoon and have a last minute question.

Second, just wondering if the ProctorU or Lawhub LSAC portal is the place to go to start the test? In my ProctorU account I see a countdown that I anticipate will turn into a "Take Test" button after it runs out; is this correct? If not, would you quickly mind telling me where to find such feature?

Thanks so much!
