Better to study on computer or on paper?

samuelhirsch

I am unsure whether the flex will still be administered when I sign up to take the exam (aiming to take it april-may)
Should i be studying on print outs of the questions, or should i stick to the virtual questions, which would simulate the flex lsat more accurately?

Tips on switching between paper/virtual lsats?

Good question.

Definitely I think you should use both. Paper because as a medium it allows you to see problems differently. Your pen is next to your questions, you can underline, notate, etc. I did most of my studying on paper. I printed a lot of the questions and sections. I did 1-40 broken down by question type on paper. I also did PT 50-60 all on paper. 70 -89 on lawhub.

The virtual aspect comes in for test prep. You need to practice exam conditions and get used to doing it on a screen, it's not much different though. The exam will be on FLEX I think until the summer at least.

No particular advice. Do individual questions, do sections, do whole exams and refine your process as you go along. I find I like the LSAT online more, especially for RC. I like the highlight and underline features, even if they are a little buggy at times. And you can cross out questions just as easily as on paper.

Just remember to look away from your screen while you're testing, esp for LR. I find I become fixated sometimes and staring at the screen/questions for too long sometimes makes me not detach enough to see a gap in reasoning if its a tough question.

Good luck!

Regardless of Flex or in person testing, LSAT is administered in a digital format. You're better off taking practice tests on a computer. I don't see harm in drilling questions on paper or doing LG on paper (I printed all the LG games and didn't have an issue transitioning to a digital format).

Are you international? If not, and you don't have paper accommodations, you'd still use the same digital interface (albeit on a tablet) if they ever go back to the previous method. I'd just stick with the interface here and/or on LawHub until we hear indication of what direction they're going. April-May isn't that far away.
