I would strongly recommend taking both June and July (if necessary). You have already paid for both, and there is a chance things go your way in June (especially on flex). Not only do schools not care about multiple takes but the LSAT Flex also does…

Speed will definitely come with practice (there's really no way around this), and a good skipping strategy, like the ones you mentioned, will help you leverage your time efficiently. However, unless you are receiving testing accommodations from LSAC…

If you are on a short time frame and get a question right, I do not think it is problematic to skip an explanation, especially if you are doing good BR. However, if you got the question right but only after spending a bunch of time, you probably wan…

You will get an email just hold tight.

You absolutely do not have enough time to do this. Furthermore, for me at least, any highlighting or other markings take away from my ability to see how everything connects. Practice recognizing sufficient and necessary conditions without any markin…

The jump you are trying to make honestly might just take some time. It sounds like you are taking a good approach to studying. If you aren't already doing this, I would recommend keeping notes of exactly what mistakes you are making in your practice…

When "should" is used in a conditional statement, there is still a guarantee. However, this guarantee is a prescription rather than a state of affairs. Consider "If you want to do well on the LSAT, then you should study.". If you satisfy the suffici…

If you can improve then go for it! Just be cognizant of any diminishing returns that may result from applying later in the cycle. We don't know when the next "regular" test will be.
-
You seem to be taking the right approach. First, there's no guarantee you will get to 100% confidence on a difficult question with extra time. Second, you could have 100% confidence on a question and still be wrong. Third, you simply do no have enou…

Try spending more time reading the passage. With that, move through the questions aggressively. Try to avoid getting stuck on any one particular question. If the question is difficult, give it your best guess and skip to return later if you have tim…

Unless you are a URM, you would likely be looking at an up-hill battle to get into t-6. If that is your goal, I would strongly recommend retaking. Schools only really care about your highest score.

Call LSAC, but plan to be on hold for a while.
-
I would recommend refraining from highlighting in RC. The tool is clunky, and, personally, trying to figure out what I should/should not highlight takes away from my ability to focus on the structure of the passage. I make a very short structural su…

I would recommend doing the lesson drills and then immediately start foolproofing (i.e. do pt 1-35 LG in order). When you start learning LG, it is important to be able to set up the gameboards correctly and identify whether something is sequencing, …

Harder questions are typically very similar to cookie-cutter or "easy" questions, except they have an extra wrinkle or complexity (or a few for the hardest questions). If you just finished the CC, you really just need more practice and drilling. The…

I think you will want to fill out the LSAC equipment form. I do not think such a display, even mirrored, will be allowed. You can also email or call ProctorU, but they took forever to get back to me via email.

Whenever I used my coupon from the July 2019 test, it just showed up whenever I tried to register for my next test.

Study for process not for results. You want to have a repeatable strategy for each section that will be second nature on test day. The test day nerves will be there, but having a proven process helps to mitigate both some of the test day jitters and…

The Powerscore books are good if you want to get more into LSAT theory. I thought the LR Bible worked well in conjunction with 7sage. I wouldn't say the LG and RC Bibles are that helpful though. But different LSAT books mostly just offer different p…

I am interested!

I would keep taking 5 section tests in your practice. If you end up with a flex test in June, then great, the test will feel like a breeze (from an exhaustion standpoint). If the test is normal in June, then you are prepared for that as well.
-
I really don't think we have enough information from LSAC yet to make an informed decision. It is very frustrating, because there's a very real possibility that we won't get this information by the time at which we have to decide to defer.
-
@noonawoon Why would you voluntarily take a real LSAT at home under unfavorable conditions? People make unfavorable conditions to simulate test day. That being said, I highly suspect there will be server and internet issues throughout, so that may …
-
@lexxx745 I am like 50/50. I can see nearly as many benefits as drawbacks, which makes the decision more difficult. I won't apply until next cycle though, so I am in a different position than many.
-
Just keep in mind the possibility that the curve will be tighter to account for the more favorable testing conditions.
-
@drbrown2 is definitely right about momentum in RC, but be careful to note that he is not saying you should not be skipping questions in RC. You definitely should. But timing in RC is more passage-based and thus, in my opinion, more similar to LG wi…

In a perfect world, you never want to be diagramming SA questions. Sure, every once in a while there will be a convoluted or lengthy question you may want to jot down. But I rarely if ever diagram for SA. While you read, try to think of the informat…

I posted this in response to another forum post, and you might find it helpful: A few months ago, I was scoring pretty well in LR (-0 to -3 a section). But sometimes, I would have a bad section, and I was often unhappy with my confidence level on q…

A few months ago, I was scoring pretty well in LR (-0 to -3 a section). But sometimes, I would have a bad section, and I was often unhappy with my confidence level on questions I got right. I took a couple weeks to focus on how I read the stimulus. …

@divaspeller Go to Columbia; it's not even close (unless you know you want to practice in Utah). Your potential career outcomes are much higher and much broader at Columbia, which can be valuable especially since you don't know exactly what you want…
