Self-study
Hi! I will be taking the August LSAT in a few weeks. It is the first LSAT I will take. I took my first Practice Test today and received a timed score of 149; however, on my BR I received a 169. Has anyone else had this situation? If so, what tips do you have for bridging this gap?

This is really common! It's important to note that even if you're getting something right on BR, it's worth paying attention to that question type. Speed accompanies proficiency; if you were totally comfortable with that question type, you would have been able to get it the first go around under timed conditions. When you do a Wrong Answer Journal (I'd recommend it if you don't already), really take the time to understand why you chose the answer you did, and why that answer isn't right.
Most of your study time should be spent drilling; focus on one question type at a time!
Finally, I'd also take a look at your testing strategy! How do you approach timing? What's your system for making sure you don't get caught up on one question?
