@noonawoon I found your answer very helpful so I'm glad you posted 😊

LR-LG-RC combo. Felt like this test was harder (trickier) than the one I took in July. LG is usually my strongest section but I couldn't pull it together today and that's probably what's going to sink my score the most. Was hoping for better, but …

@Waffles91 I feel you and am sorry you had a bad experience previously. I'm so happy that you feel good after your last take! I'm sure that's an incredible feeling compared to last time. If you do score much higher and need to write an addendum, fo…

I started self-studying for the LSAT in August of last year and took the November 2019 test, sorely unprepared. I was a professional dancer in my younger days and had no experience in this realm, so learning this test was like learning a new languag…

If they're uploading to LSAC it's quick. It can take much longer if they're sending them in by mail. Follow up with all your recommenders asap to see what's going on. Make sure they read and follow the instructions they received and give them a stri…
-
It might be because of the ProctorU extension that needs to be downloaded to take the test. If you haven't already disabled it you should try that first.
-
You have to allow all permissions. In order to distribute the test properly and make sure you're not cheating the proctor has to have full access. I was also uncomfortable with it so I waited until the day before the July test to download the exten…

Hey! I'm also taking the November Flex. I don't believe they've sent out the info email yet, but I imagine we'll get it sometime in the next few days. The email will let you know the date and time registration opens. Once it does you can then ch…

@"nicholas.patrick.teske" said: What internet browser do previous LSAT Flex takers recommend? Chrome, Firefox or Safari? I used Chrome in July and had zero issues.

I am a non-traditional applicant (old) and am not planning on writing any extra essays because I, like you, feel that my personal statement and resume fill out my application plenty. I have also heard in many podcasts and webinars that if you write…

I attended a law school's admission forum a few nights ago and something they said really stuck with me....better to show up as your BEST self, rather than early. The real question is, do you think you can get a higher score? If you know you can, …

Hey there! When you say you haven't reached the RC section yet, does that mean you haven't finished the core curriculum? I would suggest you finish all the curriculum (and do the problem sets within) before taking any practice tests, as many of th…

Make sure you read the instructions for each school you're applying to. There isn't a uniform policy that they all follow so you may have to tailor your statements accordingly.
-
Yes you should definitely write an addendum, especially if it was a technical issue that caused your score to be significantly lower than expected.
-
You'll get an email a few weeks before the testing window with information on when registration to choose your test date and time opens.
-
Starting your applications would be a great distraction. If you redirect your focus that score will be in before you know it!
-
I am also not a super-high scorer but I'm quite proud of the improvements I've made since I started studying. You should pat yourself on the back for achieving a 5-point bump in your test score in only a few months! Many test-takers score a few po…

Hey there! ProctorU has a diagnostic test you can run for your system to make sure everything is in order. Seemingly it prefers Chrome as the browser to use during the test. During the diagnostic test it will prompt you to download an additional e…

I think a 164 is incredible! I'm not scoring anywhere near that and probably never will, so try to be kind to yourself. It's incredibly common for people to score a few points below their practice test average. I have taken the test twice and my …
-
I'm in favor of taking it again. Many of us score lower on the actual test than where we're PTing, especially the first time around. If you score better on the next try then great. If you score the same or lower you still have your first score to fa…
-
A solid piece of advice I have been sticking to is that you shouldn't do a PT just to do it. You should only do a PT if you are certain you will perform better than the last one you took. I think placing too much stock in the idea of quantity over q…
-
Find comfort in the fact that pretty much everyone feels this way after the test! I've taken it twice and both times felt awful right afterwards, so if your intial feelings were positive I would say that's a good sign 🙂
-
I agree with @legallytired. Also suggest giving yourself a break the day before and doing something enjoyable that will help you relax. You'll feel more refreshed for test day. Good luck!
-
I agree with @noonawoon. Unless you had a particularly terrible time of it don't cancel, especially if this your first take.
-
The concensus among LSAC and law schools is that the Flex will not be weighted differently than the standard, in-person test.
-
I'm scoring right where you are, with the same goal score in mind, and I've always filled in questions I couldn't get to on PTs. I wouldn't leave anything blank on test day and so, for me, guessing has been an important part of developing and practi…
-
Hi Christina! What is your BR score? The gap between my timed and BR score on my first PT after the CC was 12 points, and after taking a few more I've closed it to 4 points, with steady improvements across the board. I listened to a webinar a few…
-
Yes, I used one with my laptop for the July Flex.
-
It depends on the proctor, but I found it's easiest to clear anything off the desk beforehand that you won't need for the test, as there is a chance the proctor could ask you to remove items anyways.

Hey Mike! I'm going to be applying to law school as an older student as well, and would like to throw into the mix here that at 52 you have a wealth of wisdom and knowledge that you can bring to any law program. Since you have made a stronger show…
