These questions are tough, but you should be looking for an AC for which you can find direct support in the passage. Consider what the author would say, but do that based on what the author either directly says or indirectly implies. If something i…

I almost never try to anticipate the answers to weakening questions, because there are a plethora of ways to weaken questions. And, especially on the tough questions, the test writers will craft traps based on an answer many people would anticipate.…

Yes it's achievable. Use your PT wrong answers to guide you to the areas at which you need to improve. Some of the best advice I got was to not take a new PT until you learned or improved upon something from the last PT. So I found drilling between …

I have never noticed it to make a difference on the questions. They often use the citation on science passages that may appear out of date.

It's really not that bad. If you are comparing digital to paper, you are trading glancing at a screen for having to bubble in answer choices, which is a trade I would make any day. For LG, I don't see why you would ever need an "additional descript…

Relying on heuristics like "look for weak ACs in NA questions" will only take you so far. Yes, the correct answer for NA questions is often worded weakly, as that makes the AC easier to support. But the test writers know many students rely on this h…

I found the LR bible to be a valuable addition to the 7sage curriculum. It does a good job helping you understand the theory behind the question types, and it is a good sort of reference tool when you need to locate something quickly. If you already…

If I were you, I would only take PTs sporadically while you foolproof games again, assuming you have foolproofed games 1-40ish (ignore this suggestion if you need to take the test soon). I did something similar in my prep, where I devoted a few week…

If you are taking in August, you need to start doing timed tests immediately. Success on the LSAT requires both understanding concepts and using your time efficiently on the exam. Without taking timed tests, you are ignoring one of the most importan…

The amount of PTs you need to take will depend on your particular situation and your abilities. You definitely do not want to rush through the CC though, as, by not learning the foundational concepts, it could slow you down or impede your future pro…

I took out my tv. It's better to be safe than sorry imo. You could also try to cover it if it's really difficult to move.

That's right. As it pertains to the test limit, flex tests (at least right now) are essentially "freebies".

@Platinum said: Necessary assumption questions ask us to determine what has to be true. The necessary assumption is never explicitly stated, but we have to "fill in the gap” and bridge the premises to the conclusion (with an answer choice tha…

It isn't really that important. You should be much more concerned with where you are going than where you are coming from. I would strongly recommend not taking more of the newer tests before starting your prep. Taking tests on a whim is usually not…

That's not quite it. A necessary assumption, if negated, would wreck the argument. A necessary assumption is something that, if negated, would make it such that the premises do not support the conclusion. The conclusion itself could still be true wi…

I did all my prep digitally. I think this is extremely important for being comfortable and prepared on test day. However, if you already have mastered the material, as it seems you have, it may not take you too long to adjust.

I was told by ProctorU that I could not use the touchscreen on my surface laptop. But my understanding is that LSAC is sending out Microsoft Go tablets to those without an adequate computer, so who knows.

It depends on the PT. Sometimes both LRs are about the same difficulty. Sometimes LR1 is more difficult and vice versa. You are probably experiencing some test fatigue with those score discrepancies. If you aren't already, I would recommend doing s…

Consider holding off on PTs for a bit. Take some timed sections and focus on improving known weaknesses. The last thing you need is to be stressed out over what you get on PTs. Some of the best advice I ever got was to never take another PT unless …

There are definitely SA/NA traps, usually where the flaw is stated in the opposite terms. For example, if the argument confuses sufficient for necessary, the trap answer would say the argument confused necessary for sufficient. So you certainly wan…

The Flex went smoothly for me in May. As a general rule, those who had a bad experience will be more vocal than those who had a good one. Just follow LSAC's and ProctorU's listed rules and you will probably be fine. If not, then reach out to LSAC an…

I like making a very short structural outline of the passage on my scratch paper. I find highlighting and underlining entirely too finnicky and not very helpful. And yes, you are losing time by writing things down, but you may be gaining in underst…

Do you have a skipping strategy for LR? Giving yourself enough time to figure out those tough questions is the key to mastering LR. But having enough time requires that you use your time efficiently on the easier questions and that you don't spend t…

It wouldn't hurt to try. You should be able to message them before clicking the start test button.

Memorize and drill the common flaws so that you can soundly eliminate them on the harder questions where they often show up as incorrect answer choices. Try not prephrasing the hard flaw questions and see if that helps. I find prephrasing very helpf…

You want to focus on the structure of the passage when reading. As you read, think about how each paragraph and sentence work together to contribute to the main point. To do this, you may need to spend more time up front reading the passage and less…
-
I think you are absolutely fine to be spending that much time up front. However, if you are looking for ways to speed up, try ditching the highlighting. Highlighting is finnicky, and I don't think it really helps that much (I used to do a bunch of h…

You should absolutely drill old RC sections if you are struggling this much. Focus on reading for passage structure. After each paragraph and every sentence even, ask 'Why did the author include this?'. That will help you think about how everything …
-
At this point, there is not much you can do to improve. And you definitely don't want to change up your approach two days before the test. Just focus on passage structure and try not to get stuck on particular questions. I would consider either doin…

Whether it is more difficult for you depends on your specific skills and weaknesses. 2. They are not artificially making it more difficult. 3. Law schools are, by all accounts, viewing the LSAT flex like a regular LSAT.
