For some reason, regardless of the rest of the test, my first LR section is always worse than my last.
The past 3 tests have been
LR (sec 1) -5 LR (sec 3) -2
LR (sec 2) -4 LR (sec 4) -1
LR (sec 1) -6 LR (sec 3) -2
The difficulty of each section doesn't seem to matter. LG and RC stay fairly consistent.
What could this be? Fluke?

Yup, I used to be in the NBA and the Trump thread a bunch. Now I just peruse the URM and LSAT fora. 7sage has supplanted TLS for me.

Thanks guys. I'll will try to work in a warm-up. What do you guys suggest works best? I've tried 1-2 problems in the past but didn't keep up with it consistently. Maybe I'll do like 10 LR, a game, and a RC passage?
@marine4life6798246 it's happened on way more than 3 tests. I'm gunna try the warmup but thanks!
Yeah, I think that's probably perfect. I make little packets the night before I do a PT of a little warm up. Usually all questions I've seen before. So like 10-15 LR questions, a game or two, and an old RC passage. It's not about how you do on them, but more so just getting the mental juices flowing.
And I'm the OG Mikey :D

Or you can go extreme like someone I knew last year who did 1 full section of each as a warm up haha
I'm crazy, but I'm not that crazy :scream: :scream:
haha word.
to be fair, they were highly neurotic but did end up getting an amazing score so kudos to him! lol
I feel like I know who you mean, hahah ;)

Same thing with me. On my last pretest I got -10 wrong on 1st LR and then -3 on 2nd LR. Looked at difficulty and 7sage had both sections rated the same lol.
On the bright side its super helpful to notice this. If it indeed is a question of warming up, we can apply this lesson to test day and save a couple points because of it .
i'm the opposite. i think it's just stamina in my case

I do exactly that. I usually do 1 problem set from the CC (5 questions), an "easy" RC passage, and a "hard" game.
I think it depends on the person honestly. For me, I usually just warm up with like 5 LR questions just to get my reading flow going so I don't read slow and re-read on the first few things I do. May be diff for you though, I know lots of people do like 1 passage, 1 game and like 5-10 LR questions
@71888 It sounds like you are having mostly LR problems so I would stick to doing just LR problems to warm up right now.

It doesn't matter and it's not a trend. no need to care.

It's SUPER common! It happens to me relatively often and a good friend of mine consistently. Something about the cogs in your brain greased and ready. Before you next PT, do 15-20 LR questions at random and then start your PT. See if that bumps it!
Agreed. I think I've seen tons of posts on here and other forums about this exact trend/phenomenon. I say try to do some more warm up before a PT.

Can be that you need to warm up with LR before doing a PT. Can also be that the PTs you've noticed this pattern on have harder questions for the first LR?
According to 7sage the difficulty doesn't matter. I've gone -2 on the hardest and -5 on the easiest lol
It's gotta be a warm up thing or something
yeah, that used to be my problem. warming up with LR tends to help me (:

I have heard several others mention this. Like Mikey said, you might need to do a little warm-up pre-PT to get those synapses firin'.
