For what it's worth @clairelex, I had that same experience at first but then pretty quickly saw it normalize. Try experimenting with different font sizes, line spacing settings---I ended up settling on extra large-sized font for LR and LG, and mediu…
Did the LR section seem more difficult then normal?
Yes, I thought so. Probably the hardest of the three for me, but I already see someone else thought it was the easiest, so it just really varies.
Also could have been a different …

Do you all think that there will be a bigger than usual curve to deal with the issues that people were experiencing? Some of the factors that came about due to proctoru, and just the newer testi…
@jankley I don’t think there’s any question that there will be another Flex date to sign up for this summer! Haven’t heard any speculation at all that they would outright cancel July. Has anyone else?
That’s BS. The only one of those problems I also had was the proctor mic coming on at the start of my test, which was indeed pretty annoying. Losing 10 mins of LG? You deserve a refund at a minimum.
I think you were right, and that PT7 S4 Q13 was indeed an R.A. question!
Conclusion: The fact that the percentage of homes with smoke detectors has gone from 30% to 45% over the last ten years has not made early detection of house fires more likely…
For weaken questions, it really helps me to transform them into RRE questions. I think I got this from something JY posted one time.
For example, to answer a weaken question with this stimulus, "Johnny loves pasta, so he must love all Italian food,…
I just realized I think another critical thing is whether or not it says “all other things being equal...” first. If it does, then definitely not necessarily a linear relationship. But if it doesn’t, I don’t see how it could be anything other than l…
I think a big issue here is the difficulty of putting together the conditional "true/false" with the matters of degree indicated by "the more" and "the less." If you say, "the more you know about history, the less you love history," there certainly …

Do we think admissions will treat/ weigh the LSAT-flex scores differently? I’ve heard differing opinions.
I emailed Columbia Law Admissions to ask this and they said they will not treat it any differently!
What do y'all think about this (written courtesy of Flex-Stress and morning coffee):
(A) An unweighted three-section test would pose problems for the following types of testers: people (1) whose best section is LR, (2) whose worst section is LG, an…
@lexxx745 interesting! If you don't mind my asking, are you a -0/1 LGer yet? (I'm definitely not.) Just wondering if that strategy is compatible with gettin' 'em all right.
Thank you! I definitely think I don’t take advantage of the “switch” tool enough, so that’s great to have as an alternative to actual board splits. I suppose that’s not all that different from the calculus involved in writing an “always together” bi…
I think the key lies in here:
Why is “Such songs” taken to reference “songs written for movie soundtracks” rather than referencing “those songs that movie producers (or whoever asks) asked writers to make for movie sound tracks,” because where t…
Thanks very much! It makes sense that you wouldn't want to create a blanket rule like that, but good to hear that it's probably usually the right call.
@givemethatcake I honestly can't mentally separate LR from the 20s from the 30s or even 40s right now. But in general, the main thing I gained from practice in those earlier LR sections was improved habits. Doing lots of early LR questions and secti…
I have found that the frequency of formal logic questions characteristic of the 20s is NOT found in the 70s! (Haven't done the 80s yet so can't speak to that, but I've done lots between 20s and 40s and now am in 70s).
You mentioned that necessary assumption questions are hard for you. Make sure to try using the negation test:
Imagine how the argument would go if the answer choice were untrue. If the answer's being untrue would make the argument incorrect, it is…
I have definitely seen passages in which the main point is not at all clear until the final paragraph. Not sure of the frequency of this, so I guess it's possible that this is a gamble that's worthwhile for you. It's definitely not for me though!

Just wanted to share a weird method that I think has helped me to improve a lot in RC recently (went from between -6 and -10ish to between -0 and -4ish). In addition to blind reviewing after each test, I've started doing this around once a day, whil…
