  • my issue has been trying to rush through the questions to shore up more time by the time I reach the last question. When I do, my accuracy suffers. Sounds like you're trying to move faster than your ability allows. Don't sacrifice accuracy for …
  • @"ShashankC.15" grain of salt as I also still have a way to go in my own prep. First, I don't think a few weeks is a lot of time in the world of LSAT prep. It takes time to process what you've learned. The absorption of strategies and construction …
  • Hey @"jeff.wongkachi"! To see why that strategy doesn't seem to fit I think you can just take a look at what you wrote to examine how you viewed the question: In PT82Q13S1, there's an apparent similarity yet the result is not the same. To solve …
  • @"austin.c" @Dkimvisionmaker11 my understanding is that differentiating between ones you were and were not sure about shows you where you made an error and were certain that you didn't. This allows you to identify areas of overconfidence or where y…
  • Thanks all! @"kayla.jackson232" I probably have about 5 months of prep in. Grain of salt, as I have a ways to go still, it's only my second 170, and I have yet to post an official score like this, but I think if I had to emphasize one thing it wou…
  • @"Jay Tee" I'm not solid on the sequence of the stem, mostly because there is so much well reasoned yet conflicting advice out there. Powerscore and Ellen both recommend stimulus first but take different (but both effective) approaches. After the C…
  • Wait until you get the email to sign up and the test sign up opens. You'll receive a link and account creds.
  • @sbrig009 some proctors did not allow paper, and some takers who were denied paper inexplicably tried to do the test anyway. Its because proctorU typically doesn't use scratch paper, and many proctors apparently not trained well enough for LSAT admi…
  • I might have mumbled a bit of the process here and there, but made a conscious effort to try to do all the steps and do them internally due to the no talking rule for flex. I forgot to add, this wasn't my first advanced translation. I also did J07 …
  • Yes 34:58... minus a the second or two it took me to stop the timer. I suppose with the caveat that I didn't say the translations out loud. I wanted to see if I could follow the steps under timed conditions, and if not, how much over I would go (th…
  • Thanks! @Chloeeee I recommend it highly. I found the system very intuitive, and the presentation more easily digestible than most prep out there. I used Powerscore and the CC, and Loophole fit in nicely... honed my stimulus translation and gave me …
  • My proctor came on audio to begin with for the security checks, etc.. Once everything was good to go, I literally said, "I've seen reports of many test takers being interrupted, proctor audio being left on, or proctors taking control of the screen, …
  • I'd just create a problem set filtering for in-out games.
  • Be sure to use lawhub a few times before test day. Test your equipment with the live ProctorU support with the exact setup you will be using beforehand. Don't skip your free minute between sections. Don't stall on the instructions page - your tim…
  • @mlhinkle said: was the LG section with calls and players of a game the theatre or crops LG section? For some reason I dont remember crops or theatre.... Crops and theater were two different LG sets. For RC it was either Motown or Drilling.
  • @yan_nyclaw said: @Pi031415 said: TLDR: if you have a MacBook, make alternate plans and use another computer/laptop for flex. I had my flex exam today. I have a MacBook Air. I logged in and could not get the system to regi…
  • @Cassidys Dave Killoran has what seems to be the most thought out curve predictions in general. Its on his twitter. As for scale predictions, they depend on your LSAT form. We saw these often: Motown RC/Crops LG = -7 scale Drilling RC…
  • @hl2xj Oct 19 was undisclosed. Regardless, it was an experimental section so would not appear on a released PT.
  • Hey, just saw that the waste disposal, picaresque, history of plagiarism, corporate law RC set was from last October... can anyone else confirm this? That's a pretty quick recycle if so. Edit: Independently confirmed... I'm assuming there will be …
  • Heres my review: Took at a hotel using their ethernet. Fucking room service interrupted me twice during RC despite having the door tag on. No proctoring issues. I mentioned the issues that have been coming up, and the proctor (who was in the Phi…
  • 10 isnt a hard rule... just saying do it a bunch of times until you can blast out the inferences smoothly and you feel like you own the game. For me, its typically twice in a day then again a day or two later, followed by maintenance (revisiting ev…
  • In last thursday's hangout JY said there won't be mock flex exams... you can just pull sections to make one. There is a flex scoring conversion though: https://classic.7sage.com/lsat-flex-score-converter/
  • I zeroed in on "most drugs cause weight gain" and "some weight gain is unlikely to be preventable" both indicating there was at least one instance of weight gain. That and none of the other ACs seemed like contenders. Most cause weight gain means a…
  • Do your BR first, like @Logician said on another copy or in a different color, then enter both sets of answers. where we input both our raw scores and our blind review scores Resources - PrepTests - enter answers from paper On the answer shee…
  • @lsatplaylist I doubt they'll publicize the exact methodology. I would assume what's out is all were going to get - equal weight for all questions. Offhand, it would seem like certain scaled scores would have to be skipped? Like -1 would get you …
  • About as far as one can be from a LSAT expert, but I do have tons of experience in critical thinking and sleep deprivation. Start well before test day and try to schedule sleep that is both adequate and allows you to match your optimal state of min…

  • Just a little background: "Slow is smooth, smooth is fast", while heard commonly throughout the Army (and likely the military in general), is most commonly used in jumpmaster school, where you train to inspect and safely lead a plane-full of paratro…
  • @Kiva_180 don't have an answer to that but I coincidentally just got WL'ed by UVA too. Definitely focusing on the R&R now especially with everything else going on. Already withdrawn from every admit and WL except CLS, UVA, and Cornell. Hopeful…
  • Thanks all for the input... am definitely seeing progress with a more common sense approach to LSAT prep. I suppose I can chalk this cycle up to an expensive admissions lesson, as I did learn a lot. Kicking myself for not jumping right back into p…
