Self-study
I have been going through the core curriculum, taking extensive notes, and drilling. For a couple of weeks, I have not seen much meaningful progress. Are there any indicators that I am indeed progressing? Do I need to spend time on the grammar section if I am not tripped up by the grammar, but rather by the tricks the questions are throwing my way?
So far have taken one PT before even knowing what the exam would look like, and scored a 149. I’ve been studying for about 1-2 hours a day for the past two weeks like a chicken without a head- no direction just watching the core curriculum videos and taking notes in a split screen. When drilling, the types of questions i answer correctly and incorrectly fluctuate, and there isnt really a pattern of any sorts.
I’m seeking any advice people found helpful from others, or something that people wish they knew when they started studying. Scrolling through these messages, Ive seen a ton of others get tremendously helpful advice- anything and everything is appreciated. Thank you all and best of luck on your Law School endeavors!

I would take a break from exams and really focus on honing in on individual question types. With your tags being all over the place this means you aren't necessarily consistent in a particular area. I would suggest working on the individual types, blind reviewing, and making sure to identify the conclusion and premises in all stimuli and then breakdown each answer choice. Writing it out will help train your brain. Additionally, drill increasing difficulty once you are mastering the lower difficulty. This will help create a stronger foundation. Also make sure that the answer choices actually resolve the issue in the stimulus and try to breakdown and properly identify the elements while also working to get faster. I would then do individual timed sections to make sure you keep up on timing and can then better assess weak areas and then add back-to-back sections and then exams so you can build endurance and accuracy
