@CadenWalsh said: I just finished, but during my exam my proctor forgot to do the room scan after the break. So they made me do it during the exam, I lost about 4-5 minutes just because of the confusion of it all. So I had to rush through the …

It may be good practice in the beginning to fool-proof even the games you fully understood within a given time limit, though you may want to phase that out as you progress in your studying. When I was towards the end of my prep, I fool-proofed any …

Hey! I was in the same boat as you. I have a diagnosed anxiety disorder and take medication to control it, but symptoms arise nevertheless! I find that while it is helpful to discuss how to mitigate anxiety, it is more important to PLAN for anxiety.…

Two things: In a podcast put out by the Deans of YLS and HLS, they discussed this very point. If a person worked various part-time jobs throughout college to support themselves, you should definitely include that. You may not need to detail EVERY …

Yes, context is paramount, as the previous poster indicated. But here's my take. I think I'd hesitate to say that "tends to" = "most". In LR, I've often seen "tends" used to indicate a weak correlation between two variables. For example: "A tends t…

@byul1000 said: Confirming that on the August LSAT I got a 166, 91st percentile. Curious what this means relative to previous years - is the curve getting harder to break? Do we anticipate this is the trend for future tests? While LSAT …

@practiceinordertopractice said: If the score percentile shifts downward relative to earlier versions of the Flex exam (not saying that it does, but just in the hypothetical), how does LSAC expect law schools to fairly assess students who took…

Also, my 171 is in the 97th percentile.

As a URM myself, your story is extremely similar to mine! Congrats! Here's to bringing greater representation to the legal profession.

Step 1: Channel your inner Socrates and proceed from the realization that you know nothing. The second you think you understand the LSAT, the LSAT wins; there is always more to learn. Step 2: Set realistic goals. If you're consistently missing -5 o…

Hey there! The pre-pandemic LSAT, the regular exam we've come to know and love (or hate), had 5 sections, 4 of which were scored. Generally, you'd be answering 100-101 questions. If you get 25 wrong out of 100, your raw score is 75%. The post-pand…

@wadduppeeeeeps said: Hello everyone! I am a prospective applicant and plan on taking the LSAT next year. My goal is to score in the high 160s, low 170s as of now. If you worked and studied full time, I'd appreciate it if you would be wil…

Hey! I live in DC. DM if you want to link up!

My proctor accidentally started my LR section without telling me while I was holding my laptop out in front of me to give them the 360-degree room-scan. I somehow realized that had happened and then frantically sat down to start the section. As I wa…

@srz12797 said: Just finished and not sure my performance reflected my true ability, a mix of nerves and IMO difficult content, as well as my proctor still talking to me as the test began (has anyone had this happen?) it was a bit distracting …

Ah yes, those pesky RC inference questions. I agree with previous posters in that there are NEVER 2-3 reasonably supported inferences. There is only one. I've devised my own set of strategies that has enabled me to go -0 on RC inference questions. H…

Here's I think: the LSAT is like a quiche. I, like many people, eat eggs. I'm not a master chef, but I can cook eggs a variety of ways, e.g., scrambled, fried, or hardboiled. Thus, I have some knowledge of eggs and how to cook them. But if someone…

I watched an interview with a former admissions counselor from a Top 5 law school (I think she was from Chicago - can't remember) and a discussion about disparate LSAT scores came up. This one student scored a 168 initially, but then scored a 176 a …

Hey! I suffer from anxiety generally, so I can provide some insight on how I've navigated scheduling the exam and dealt with test-anxiety. First, it's my understanding that the earliest you can apply for most schools is October. That said, you have…

@sarakimmel said: @csharm002 you actually are allowed to mouth (and even mutter, trust me) during the test, just not speak. I had a rather drawn out discussion with several others after last years' FLEX tests, and although some proctors might …

I think it's totally doable. I know it isn't easy to study in school, but here's what my timeframe looked like while working full-time: I was averaging 165 in January and my new average, about 5 months later, is 172, with my highest score being a 17…

I'm of the opinion that the diagnostic is more harmful than informative when one takes it without ANY prior studying. It's kind of like doing an American Ninja Warrior course for the first time in your life. Is it going to suck? Probably. Is the dia…

Hey @thinklikealawyer, you are definitely not alone. The anxiety of test day is an absolutely novel experience compared to what is feels like to take a PT at home. I was averaging between 168-170 on PTs before I took the April FLEX and scored a 163.…

Howdy. I have some thoughts for you about how I'd analyze AC:D in relation to other AC's as opposed to assessing the AC's relationship to the premises and conclusion. Sometimes this is a clearer method to understand why an AC is wrong. AC: D can ul…

Hey Caroline, I'm in the same boat. I'm probably going to do 2 more timed exams prior to April 10th. Regarding your Tue/Wed question, I supposed I'd recommend taking the test on Tuesday and BR-ing it Wednesday. Then just spend the next few days doin…

If you've read The Loophole (I haven't read the others, so I won't speak to those) and feel like you don't have any strategies in your pocket, I'd advise you to read it again. The crux of the book is that we don't solidify our understanding of the …
