Stuck in PT40s

I usually get 6-7 wrong per LR section in late PT50s or early 60s. Yet, when I did PT40s(PT42), I got 10 wrong per section. I felt lost and confused. Should I review the CC before doing more timed section or PT?

    @gregoryalexanderdevine723, I found logical reasoning section most helpful.

    I had very similar experience even after I finished CC. I would recommend the LSAT Trainer as a supplement.

    Yeah, definitely finish the CC completely - it can make a world of difference!

    Also, as Sami said above, use your analytics to see where you can allocate specific study time to gaining a better understanding of.

    @gregoryalexanderdevine723 I don't think there's a huge difference between missing 6-7 and missing 10 because they both fall in roughly the same range and we need to base where we are off of a range not one PT or one score. If you have not finished the CC I would finish it. It's February and you have plenty of time to finish the CC and take lots of PTs before writing an exam.

    Those are my two cents anyway. :)

    I deleted the previous PTs I did and wanna review the CC or finish the rest since I still have 50% left.

    Depends. Take a look at your analytics for those tests. What does it say your priority is for LR? Based on that information I would review the Core Curriculum and do additional drills. At this point, if you have already done the core curriculum, I wouldn't just go back to all of it - that would take too long and it might waste time on things you are already good at! I would try to find out the particular weaknesses you might have and focus on that.

    Assuming all variables were controlled for during your PT: you didn't have a cold, you weren't unusually distracted etc, my recommendation would be to review the CC and review PT 42 thoroughly before continuing to more PTs. Consider this a learning opportunity, get as much as you possibly can from that PT for your journey forward. Really review what you missed. Any questions on particulars, don't hesitate to reach out.
