August flex date

[mkemp]

Hi!
I just signed up for the August LSAT flex, and I was wondering if there is a difference between signing up in a later or earlier date? I prefer a later date, but I have a fear that the test may be harder, and I am not sure if it would be worth it. Or if I am just paranoid, haha. Thank you so much!

When I took the July LSAT I took it the second test day and early in the morning.
Listening to the podcast that Dave and Jon put out about the July LSAT they referenced the exact test I took as the "hardest" variation.
So, I would suggest getting a time slot that works best for your schedule, and the time of day where you are more efficient and not brain dead. I think the difficulty of each test variation does not depend on the latest test day, and that it is just a "gamble"!
The LSATs are all difficult it just depends on which one seems easier to you based on your skill set and what you find easy. LSAT Casino!!

Good luck!

Hi mkemp,

Thanks for the question! (And thanks for the assist haleynicole797!) Haley said it perfectly — there is no test that will necessarily be "harder" or "easier" than another. It all comes down to chance and also your individual strengths and weaknesses. So, as Haley suggested, go with the day/time that works best for you!

Haley put it quite well, so I'm just adding on to her response here

Remember that all LSATs are designed to be roughly equal, so when a test is logically harder, you get a looser scale. If a test is logically easier, then you get a tighter scale. So, in the long run, it offsets and brings everything to the middle

With that in mind, you can choose a date and time according to what Haley said, which is the time best for you personally!
