In case you haven't checked out this blog, it might help guide your apps: https://blog.powerscore.com/lsat/which-law-schools-are-splitter-friendly/ I am also a splitter, so have been looking into this a fair bit. Do you have any other criteria for…

The easiest way seems to be to take the PT as flex, then take a problem set, either the second LR from that test or an RC or LG from another test. This best simulates the scoring and will help with endurance. Do be sure to take your 15 minute break …

Based upon previous FLEX administrations: Dates and times will be released about 2 weeks before the start of test week, once sign-ups are opened (you will get an email). There will be testing times offered throughout the day both weekend days (8/14 …

Sufficient assumption questions are a great place to practice predicting answer choices and, I would argue, it is a necessary skill for getting these questions consistently right. Since the missing premise provides the link between the other premise…

My diagnostic was 138 (or was it 142? I can't remember, but nothing to write home about) in June of last year. I had massive technical issues and ended up getting a 149 on my first FLEX in October, then took a month off after writing (burnt out from…

My advice: simplify your life around test taking. We’re always saying to replicate conditions as closely as possible to test day. This test is hard enough with a sharp mental state, adequate sleep, no distractions, and all the stars aligned. Keeping…

You could take the test sometime before 8am on Friday, yes? Seems like that would work well for you if you're a morning person?

@GoatAdvocate I am SO sorry that happened to you. They can definitely be strict about vocalization, but they shouldn't have interrupted your screen during your test to tell you that. I lost more than 5 minutes from my October FLEX, so I know how dev…

@FloridaMan Based on past iterations of the FLEX, there will be options to take the test both weekend days (8/14 and 15), and then only a 2-3 days of the following week, leaving the last day for retakes due to technical issues. It does not typically…

@csharm002 you actually are allowed to mouth (and even mutter, trust me) during the test, just not speak. I had a rather drawn out discussion with several others after last years' FLEX tests, and although some proctors might say something if they he…

That would be awesome. I’m inconsistent at best with RC so that would be really beneficial for me as well. What is your availability like? I’m quite flexible and can make most times work, though I’m not much of a morning person. I’m on the west c…

Something to keep in mind: the process recommended by 7Sage, Loophole and the Bibles are all pretty different from each other. I would recommend sticking with the CC first (JY does an excellent job of breaking down the basics), then consider using L…

Having a BR study buddy can also be a viable alternative or even compliment. Having to articulate your reasoning to another person is less tedious but accomplishes the same goal. You also get the opportunity to explain things that your might buddy n…

Hi there! I have started doing this to the nth degree. It is "painfully tedious" by design, but is the best way to really extract all the useful info from sections and PTs you've completed. It also helps with seeing patterns in the stimuli and ACs. …
-
Not sure if the group got up and running, but in a similar boat with choking under pressure with games and would love to work that out!
-
I would definitely practice the test as FLEX if that is what you are taking. The extra LR section makes for great drilling practice, which you burn by taking the extra section as a PT, which may or may not be problematic for you. Simulating testing …

This is the "official" list, I think 7Sage does an awesome job in vetting tutors. I don't think you can go wrong! https://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/4760/7sages-approved-tutors/p1

It is around 2 weeks out, they will send an email with a link. The workaround only allows you to sign up earlier in the morning the day they open sign-ups, so unless you are panicking and extremely limited on when you can take the test, it shouldn’t…

There are rules, but you can absolutely have pencils and an eraser. The pencils can’t be mechanical and your erasers can’t have any sort of cover, sleeve, etc. you will need to show them to the proctor prior to beginning, so do check LSACs website f…

Needed this today, thanks for posting and congrats!!

Ah, this is one of those stims where the test makers would love for you to just look for indicator words, but that can trip you up, especially with more difficult questions. What you need to ask yourself with any MP question is WHY is the author wri…

I got two strong recs from long-time previous clients. I will likely being asking a current client of mine, an attorney, with whom I have been working for the past 2+ years for one additional rec, as the Adcomm feedback indicated that it can be espe…

Hi Guilia, I am 43 and went through the same back-and-forth. After discussions with MANY adcomms, their advice was uniform that you should get your letters from sources who know you best and can attest to your readiness and aptitude for law school.…

I have both taken the LSAT Flex and use 7Sage for PTing, and my one recommendation is to be sure you use the LSAT font when taking PTs on 7Sage. I have not found there is much of a difference at all as long as that is the same. Functionally they are…

The week after writing the June test, I'm taking off for the Dalmation coast in Croatia for a month. If I get stuck there, I'll be ok with that!
-
I would be sure to ask that question to the school directly to be sure you have the correct information from the source. Congrats!
-
You still looking for a study partner? I am PTing in the low-mid-160s and am aiming for a 168+ in June. I am on the W coast but wfh and have a flexible schedule. Just let me know if interested.
-
I would not skim. Take the time to read and understand the passage. Like with the games, time invested upfront to understand what you are reading will save you time when you get to the questions. Definitely read the passage before attempting any que…
-
Absolutely. It is by far the best prep service available, and costs less than all other monthly options.
-
That's tough, but I think focusing on 3 passages would be a good start. How is your accuracy on RC passages when you do them untimed? Are you able to answer most of the questions correctly if given enough time, or do you have trouble understanding t…
