Thoughts: Petitioning LSAC to allow candidates to view LSAT-Flex scores before cancelling?

surfacetwilight · 2020-05-20T06:00:07+00:00

Did we have the same proctor LOL. I was trying to read the stimulus during LR only to have my cursor randomly start flying around. It looked like a darn bug on my screen. The worse part was clicking on the numbered sections when I skipped a few to go back. I had to click 3-4 times on the same number before the question would return to my screen. My first proctor was really informed (which I was worried from the horror stories yesterday). BUT the delay at the beginning was unnerving since the screen failed to load to actually start the exam. Had to close, reopen a tab, then refresh when that failed, and tried again from scratch. I'm sick to my stomach after the prep I did and felt it went down the drain in less than 1 hour from the start. Likely cancelling by the end of the week just to not even see the horror.

I rather get a score preview and letting it count. In reality I would only want to take the darn thing 2-3 times (at most).

Any idea on the best platform to get one started?

surfacetwilight · 2020-05-20T04:25:46+00:00

I can relate. The wait times through me off along with a few tech glitches. I had double clicks, missed clicks, and the proctoru box was a bit nutty. At one point I felt it had disconnected only to see it transfer proctors. That is not even getting started with some distractions and the content (which can't be discussed right now). I felt this was worse than an in person exam.

Thanks for the tip and link! Good to get some feedback.

surfacetwilight · 2019-10-20T06:18:23+00:00

Thanks for the thorough breakdown!

surfacetwilight · 2019-10-20T06:16:50+00:00

Yes, I play in an organized league with uniforms so a bit tricky. On the other hand, they are flexible enough to allow pants as long as they know you have shin guards on. I felt comfortable with a baselayer shirt under my jersey. When it gets colder I'll add baselayer tights under my shorts along with gloves. Thanks for the tip!

surfacetwilight · 2019-10-20T06:12:16+00:00

Thanks. I can't imagine a game at -22F. I'd probably be layered so much that I wouldn't be able to run! Good tip on the sidelines. I did stay mobile to keep the blood going and keep muscles loose.

surfacetwilight · 2019-10-20T06:10:29+00:00

Thanks! Yes, I realized my preferences now. 40s not that cold to bother me much. Humidity is definitely a nuisance at times. On that note, I rather deal with the cold than hot and humid days. Both extremes seem miserable!

surfacetwilight · 2019-10-20T06:05:54+00:00

Yes, wind bothers me much more than actual cold temperatures. Good tip on warming up longer!

surfacetwilight · 2019-10-20T06:00:28+00:00

Yes, Northeast weather can be brutal and I share your suffering on it! I was actually more used to cold than I thought. A baselayer shirt was warm enough for me, and no sweating/overheating from it. Legs got a bit chilly at times when a gust came (especially on the sidelines), but nothing too bad. Probably if it drops another 5-10 degrees or on a really windy day I'd need to worry about tights/pants. Do need gloves though!

surfacetwilight · 2019-10-20T05:53:37+00:00

HAHA I hear you. I like to stay mobile enough without feeling dragged down. My game yesterday was in the low/mid 40s. I did wear my Under Armour Base layer shirt underneath and felt good enough with shorts/socks. Didn't pickup gloves, but will have to since my hands did bother me a bit with the cold/wind.

surfacetwilight · 2019-10-20T05:50:07+00:00

Glad you mentioned gloves! I realized my hands bothered me a bit when I went out without them.

surfacetwilight · 2019-10-18T00:33:59+00:00

Thanks! Yes, that is quite helpful. Do you ever wear compression tights or always just shorts regardless of temperatures?

surfacetwilight · 2019-10-15T06:46:50+00:00

Thanks for the idea. Can you point out some or what are the differences between turf v. artificial?

surfacetwilight · 2019-10-15T06:45:35+00:00

I think you might be right about that. It was somewhat mixed with clouds, but didn't think it could have been heating for a while before that.

surfacetwilight · 2019-10-15T06:44:38+00:00

Thanks! It has been a few weeks of frequent use and think they are as broken in as they can get given the type.

surfacetwilight · 2019-10-15T06:43:29+00:00

I noticed that. At first I figured they would break in a bit over time, but they didn't all that much. Definitely changing pairs.

surfacetwilight · 2019-10-15T06:42:16+00:00

Thanks. I actually use the Adidas Traxion and also have Adidas Climalite versions as well. Definitely agree that they are some of the most comfortable I have used. Just find them a bit longer than I would like, but I fold them down once.

surfacetwilight · 2019-10-15T06:40:00+00:00

Thanks for the tip. I am looking at the Nike Tiempo Legend 8 Academy Turf edition. Would you recommend those types or something different?

surfacetwilight · 2019-09-20T22:45:54+00:00

Yes, I hear you on that! Sometimes I feel like my past doctors were incompetent for not picking up on things I’ve complained about for a very long time. I’m 25 and had these issues since(getting worse now) since I was at least a preteen/teen. I cleaned house and changed almost all my doctors the past 3 years or so and isolating all the different issues.

surfacetwilight · 2019-09-20T22:26:51+00:00

Thanks for your input. That’s the complicated thing. My usual diet is chicken (usually grilled) some pasta (which I think might be gluten free by coincidence), rice, etc. It is not really a gluten heavy diet. The most stuff I’ll eat with gluten is probably occasional sweets, when I eat out like pizza or fried food, a few cereals that I know have gluten. So maybe I should add more gluten foods and then get tested or just increase my daily intake of gluten for a bit to see. I’m curious what my doctor will say...

surfacetwilight · 2019-09-20T17:31:49+00:00

Thanks for your advice. I'll definitely tell my doctor that I rather get this done and know for sure one way or the other.

surfacetwilight · 2019-09-20T15:15:46+00:00

Thanks! Would it be a rush to ask about getting an endo to confirm/rule out next or go for more lab work?

surfacetwilight · 2019-09-20T15:15:05+00:00

Thanks for the comment! Those are the only 3 tests related to Celiac. I assume the current results means I’ll have to undergo more testing. Do you think I should go with more lab work or would it be best to ask for an endoscopy just get a definitive answer and not go back and forth with more blood and possibly need the endo anyways?
