can someone let me know what this all means? how do we read this data and decide to apply based on them? does this mean that LSATs taken during flex are looked at more leniently, or are we just assuming more people took the exam …
@iLSAT180 said:
@canihazJD Is the curve predetermined? I've heard someone mention that they use the two weeks before score release to see how people do and decide the curve based on that
Per LSAC it is predetermined. There is reason IMO to b…
CARS is similar to RC but not exactly the same. Not that it wouldn't help but unless you've exhausted all available CARS specific material, I'd stick with that. Same reason we aren't using Jack Westin or KA CARS passages... it probably would help, …

to buy the claim that the curve was relaxed significantly this year, i'd like to see data that is lsat-flex focused (e.g., percentage breakdown of each score-range for lsat-flex).
like @Nice_home said, data o…
Heads up Feb takers, I'm hearing there's edit for less specificity to be safe: a challenging game in one of the LG sections. Just like always, stay calm, push rules together and find inferences... skip if you need to and kill it on a second round. W…
As deep as possible written review of everything that gave you any kind of trouble. You want an analysis of the question and the test writer's objectives in its formulation, as well as a brutal introspective critique of your performance/reaction inc…
Those two statements are indicating the same type of relationship. Some (people/judges) (say/complain) (LSAT hard/statutes). What kind of difference are you referring to?
I believe the lessons on analytics, substitution/equivalence questions and maybe some others are peppered in after the PTs start. You can just scroll through and find them.
Unless you can get a paper accommodation, there's no use dwelling on how much better it would be... that could even be counterproductive if it becomes a factor in your test experience. Literally every element of this test is purposely designed to sc…
I decided to R&R around this time last year. Absolutely the right decision given where I'm at now, and I'm completely fine with waiting another year if I don't get one of my preferred outcomes. If you let your goals define your path, then your s…

Do I need to manually submit all my answers?
Yes. When you open a PT in 7sage there is a "convert" button that will bring up a bubble sheet to fill in. I recommend taking the PT on 7sage so you get the timing data (and do…
After the core curriculum. The problem sets should be sufficient for now. Remember to build good habits now during those timed sets. Skip things that you get stuck on then come back to them if time permits. Flag problem questions. Do a strict BR and…
They can either replace the one that was submitted or upload a new one. The latter will require you to generate a new solicitaiton. As stated above it isn't necessary, but if you can painlessly update the letters, go for it. My strongest LOR this c…
You're still talking about the top 2-3% of testers over the last (I believe) 3 years. It's just that a lot more people are taking the test now, while factors such as the new format, more at home study time, etc. have for various debatable reasons ca…

so does this mean the fourth section will always be the experimental section? Or that we don't know which LR section will be the experimental one?
Historically the experimental were randomly inserted, so likely not. Also i…
I'd be wary of individually operating tutors. Not that they can't be good, but just make sure there is a track record, or some way to verify legitimacy. You should be able to verify an official score if they are not otherwise vetted by some establis…
Good looking out.
Looks like June is going to be a target test for a lot of people.
Interested in what this means for test disclosure and new PTs.
Four-Section Format
Starting in August 2021, the LSAT will continue to have three scored se…
It's slower than normal this cycle, but that was to be expected due to the increase in applicants and high scores. So, no you shouldn't be concerned specifically about the wait.
This comes up from time to time because there aren't any "answers" beyond what the book gives you. Try it like the translation drills... eventually (once you exhaust the explanations in the book) you'll have to just take the time to review your unde…
"Fuck the seagulls" has always been my personal favorite... followed by, "Guys... you're not going to believe this. I fucking killed a bear."
Bonus: Children are pretty dumb, I'm not sure how I can help you, What the fuck is happening to me right …
No. If you have a relevant update, send that. If it's just to remind them you want to be admitted... they already know. You also don't want to make more work for admissions staff, or come off as naggy. So your app reader finally gets to your file fo…
No. Take a run at a PT on lawhub to familiarize yourself with the UI. Its similar but different enough to throw you if you haven't had adequate exposure.

Thank you @canihazJD!!
@"Burt Reynolds" @lsat_gunner I haven't done the dinosaur game yet... it sounds like a doozy. Which PT is it?
I think it's in the high 50's PT (57? 5…
I think its a good thing... thats your brain organizing and storing those patterns. You're doing enough that it's like, ok shit... we need this stuff accessible. If you make this test just part of your life, it'll be that much easier to destroy it o…
Fluctuation is normal... especially in the 170+ range and especially if you're doing flex tests. No need to panic. Those "lower" scores are huge opportunities to refine your attack on this test that you'd otherwise not have done.
You cannot read aloud. You'd probably get away with talking under your breath here and there, but the proctor will stop you eventually, and you risk invalidating your test. If it is a medical necessity, I have heard of people getting read aloud acco…
