@moriarty1 From what I've read from others, there's been a variation in processing times. It took 5 days for some and up to 3 weeks for others. It could be that they're reviewing your video feed more in depth or maybe if you missed something during …

From my experience taking the flex PTs, I think it’s random.most of the time, it skips the first LR section, but does vary from time to time
-
Hi! I took the August flex and everything looked exactly the same as the preptests on Lawhub. If you have been taking all of your PTs on 7sage, I would recommend taking some PTs on Lawhub when you get closer to the exam so you can familiarize yourse…

Sad update: woke up in Norcal to an apocalyptic looking world with orange skies. Thought the world was about to end for like an hour. Decided to take my writing portion later in the day anyway.... 15 min into the exam the software kicked me out lmao…

I personally watch the explanation videos for the questions I got wrong the first time, but corrected for BR and also the ones I got wrong both times. JY's explanations help confirm the ones I got right and explains the ones I didn't understand. I f…

Sorry you had such a terrible experience with Proctoru. Personally, I didn't have any issues with Proctoru besides a connection issue during my LR section. Most people who had multiple interruptions like you did, called LSAC to complain and LSAC gav…

@ryanmhallett @madi2639 @jludeer Thank you guys for the update! Looks like there's a mix of processing times. I read on reddit some people got their's approved in 3 days and some had their's under review for a month... Crossing my fingers mine gets…

@goforbroke thank you for your words of encouragement! I am just taking it day by day. I will definitely do my best to re-direct my energy back to the LSAT in case I need to re-take
-
@jludeer If it helps, I found the LR in PT 85 and 86 harder than usual. The answers were trickier in wording and sometimes more vague. On Reddit, people often claim that those PTs have the hardest LR in the 80's and I found that to be pretty true f…

@JerseyLife49 How do you know I only get 6-7 hours and sleep at like 2-3am whilst also neglecting my health ?? haha jk! Thank you for the tips. I am really going to try exercising again and sleeping at a reasonable hour. I am positive those practi…
-
@OldLadyK thank you for your supportive comment! It was my first time taking it so I didn't know what to expect and I am generally someone who doesn't expect the greatest result when it comes to the LSAT. This exam has truly drained the life out of …

@"Doha Irene" oh wow, thank you! I had no idea about that combination. I've just been meditating and praying to relieve my nerves. I'll try out your recommendation
-
@"is.saber" @johnschengber I agree with @empocrates in that the nerves get less intense the more PT's you do. I am an extremely anxious person and literally show physical signs of stress when it comes to taking the exam (PT and real thing). When I f…
-
@Magnanimousse makes sense! I have been taking the flex format since June/ July as well so I'm glad I have those leftover LR sections to practice on. Do you plan on doing PTs from various eras? Before the August flex, I mainly took the PT's from the…
-
@meganday2121 Sounds like a solid plan! I am planning to take my writing sample tomorrow or on Monday just to get it out of the way and prevent any score release delays. I googled some tips for the writing sample and khan academy and magoosh? had so…
-
@snellla Honestly, the Loophole is very helpful! It helped me get down to -2/ -3 (rarely -0) in some sections for LR, but LR is probably the section I struggle the most in sometimes.. Ellen Cassidy's methods are definitely a fresh take from other co…
-
@Magnanimousse wow. good for you! I feel like I need at least a week off as a breather lol Do you do problem sets on questions stems that you struggle in or do you do random whole problem sets from various exams? I went through the CC, but saved a t…
-
@DarthParallelReasoner that's sounds like a solid study plan! Did you save the newest PTs for last? I haven't done a ton of PTs so I have quite a few left, but I am unsure of whether the flex will be similar to the newer exams than the older ones. I…
-
@Brian12693 Thank you for the heads up about timing on the writing sample! That's definitely good to keep in mind. Good luck on your next LSAT!
-
Hi there, just wanted to let you know that you're definitely not alone in your fight with anxiety. I just took mine today and had really bad anxiety the day before and up until my exam. I felt super disoriented and just physically unwell. Deep breat…
-
Also consider where you want to practice in the future! That's a huge factor for me and it cut down my options quite a bit.
-
Took mine today (9/2). My exam sequence was LR-RC-LG. Reading the past and current comments, I can tell that they definitely mixed and matched sections. So I'm guessing it just depends on luck in terms of what section combos you get. LR- Usually t…
-
@deo22 Oh wow. I did not know that. Thank you for clarifying. I always assumed we would actually speak to our proctor. I guess LSAC changed the Proctoru requirements? I remember people who took the earlier flex exams complained that they heard the p…
-
@deo22 Wow. I am so sorry to hear that this happened to you. I would have lost my shit if I got interrupted so many times. Crossing my fingers this doesn't happen on Wednesday when I take the flex, but it sounds like an unfortunate common occurrence…
-
Honestly, it might just be burnout / fatigue! Those two factors really take a toll on your mindset and performance on the LSAT. I wouldn't stress too much about your lower scores. Just know that you know the material!! Definitely relax and try not t…
-
@Climb_to_170 thank God lol! Were your exams closer in difficulty to the recent exams (80-89)? I personally feel the PTs from 80-89 are trickier than say 60's-70's. I know they're administering old undisclosed exams, but technically we could get any…
-
@legallytired Glad I could give some insight! To be completely transparent, it took me over half a year (or more) to understand that I need to be kinder to myself when it comes to the LSAT. I used to beat myself up for every little setback when …
-
Same, that extra question adds way more nerves than needed lol From my understanding, I think it will be random so it could easily be 25 or 26 questions and it will just depend on which LR section LSAC chooses.
-
I resonate a lot with your struggles. Like you, I am aiming for the high 160's to 170 and it definitely sucks when the PTs I take don't reflect that range. LR is my crappiest section too, but I just try to go through JY's explanations and CC again t…
