Mysonx3's Law School Thread

[mysonx3]

Congratulations! I could probably use some study tips from you. That score is spectacular! I agree that it's not worth even bothering to try again. It's too close to 180 and with your 4.0 GPA you're going to be into top 10 school easy. I would be very curious to hear what your thoughts were about the LSAT flex though. I suspect a lot of people scored differently than how they normally would have scored, primarily from the extra stress of coronavirus happening.

I know a lot of people had extreme wait times with ProctorU - to the tune of 5-6 hours, and I'm sure that had a negative effect on many people's scores. My wait was about 90 minutes, and it was hard to stay mentally ready that whole time, especially when we had been told it would be 20-30 minutes.

A bigger factor, I think, was that the LSAT-Flex was a differently constructed test than the regular LSAT. Although it used the same kinds of questions they were organized differently. It had only three sections, all scored (whereas the regular LSAT has five questions; four scored and one experimental). Not only did this change the experience of taking the test, it changed the LR/LG/RC weighting from 50/25/25 to 33/33/33 - a major disadvantage to people who did best on LR.
