The time JY mentions is usually him ballparking it based on his assessment of the difficulty of the game (or how long it took him to do it). The time listed as the "target time" is the average that it took 7Sage users (I believe 170+ scorers) to do …

My score lined up pretty closely! Over 10 Flex PTs, my avg score ended up being just 1.2 points higher than my actual score in Oct. Also, there are numerous Flex converters out there (this one + Powerscore's), and they tend to yield similar (identic…

Happy to take a look - just PM me it!

Hey! If your score had a significant increase (and 5 points is significant) and they strongly suggest it, you should write it. I would probably just keep it short (2, maybe 3 sentences) and say that you had an off day the first couple times, and tha…

Hey! If you decide to delay, I would probably base the decision on yourself and whether you think you can get the strongest application ready in time for this cycle. If you think you'll rush your personal statement/getting the highest possible score…

I took it this morning - LG, LR, RC. LG had a game about diplomats traveling to London, Madrid, and Paris. LR had a question about bureaucratic efficiency, alcohol from wormwood, and whether a town should manage cable TV. RC had a passage about neoc…

I believe this question was omitted from scoring
-
I had LG-LR-RC. For LG, I honestly don't remember the theme of G1. G2 was gold and silver items, G3 was gym music piano and sailing schedules (or something else with G M P S items), and G4 was transcribing/recording/preparing interviews. For LR I ha…

Hey! For me (and from others I've talked to) it was about on par for tests in the 70s/80s, with the caveat that misc games are fairly unlikely (compared to the 80s where the fourth game seemingly always was a super hard game). Given how much LG is w…
-
I personally would try taking them on LawHub, and transferring them over to 7Sage - you could do this by printing out a scantron and bubbling in your answers on LawHub during the PT, then plugging them into 7Sage before you see the score so you can …
-
I think the best approach is somewhere in the middle, and the approach should be different for questions you don't get to versus those you're unsure about. If you have 30 seconds left and several questions blank/won't have time to read them and woul…

Hi! Older PTs are not necessarily easier, but are different - compared to the 80s, the 30s tend to have harder/trickier games, but slightly easier RC and LR sections. I do think practicing in the 80s can better prepare you for the real day, since th…

A lot of this is covered by other people, but two things helped me - one drill-based, and one mindset-based. In terms of drills, doing a lot of timed sections/tests, and thoroughly blind reviewing them really was what made the difference, across all…

Hey! I'm in a similar boat - splitter who sat for the July flex and is relying on a good score for my admissions cycle. I felt solid about July (although I share your trepidations about RC...), but signed up for August; the way I see it, the downsid…
-
Hi! My order was RC-LG-LR. RC: Formalism, paranormal events, jazz, and plastics. I thought this was definitely the hardest section of the test, and one of the harder RCs I've done - jazz and plastics were particularly dense. LG: TV/Print, class sc…

One important thing is taking every mistake really seriously - view no mistake as acceptable, and learn something from any error. At the beginning of my studies, I'd make excuses, telling myself a question was just "really hard" and not to worry abo…
-
@martinxi679 Yeah I definitely feel that - RC is honestly really hard! One thing that might help - try to figure out the attitude of the author as you're reading (ideally in the first paragraph or second). As I practiced more and more with sections,…
-
Hey! I definitely agree one part of the solution here is improving comprehension; ideally, you feel like you have a baseline level of understanding of any passage you confront, and never feel truly out of your element. Identifying what passage types…
-
@johnjyoo Hey! The first step is to see what the specific problem you have is, which BR scores can help you ascertain. If you're -0/-1 in BR, it's likely a timing or strategy issue, and doing a large quantity of sections or tests will help you perfe…
-
I tend to agree that any score deviation over a 175 amounts to a not-insignificant amount of luck, since it will largely hinge on missing (or not missing) 1 question per section, particularly since the ones you'll be missing are the curve-breakers t…
-
It depends in part on what types of mistakes you're making, even if they're spread fairly evenly across sections. The general wisdom is that if your Blind Review score is lower than your target score, it's a sign you need to learn the content more, …
