Self-study
As someone with major text anxiety, how did you get better at speed??
I do so bad on timed sections (150s), and then when I fully BR them (or I do them Untimed) I get 160s+.... idk what to do anymore :(
I keep practicing untimed and then timed and WAJ but my second LSAT exam is in June (First LSAT 152, I had to sign up for that one since I will be back in the motherland over the summer, and Im applying for the 2027 cycle).
Does anyone have unhinged advice?? (I study 4-6 hours a day 6 days a week.)

Figure out what's different. Are you panicking because of the time? Do you spend time on steps you don't need? Are you evaluating answer choices critically? For example, I see students who read answer choice A. Stop. Think about it. Hmmm. Does that work? Think some more. Maybe. etc etc etc. But if it's a NA question and you know you generally don't want extreme language and A starts with "every", you don't need to read more - go on to B because A is probably wrong. Look for ways to quickly eliminate answers. Identify conclusion and evidence instead of just starting at the top of the stimulus and reading the whole thing. Look for the gist, rather than belaboring every detail in an argument. Spot patterns - "this goes from the group to the members" is often enough without needing more specifics as to what is going on. Identify where the time is going to figure out how to stop losing it.
