😖 Frustrated

Help with studying

Was wondering if anyone had advice for how I can help this problem. I've been studying consistently since June, and have been plateauing on scores of around 155. However, my blind reviews have been going up, to where I'm now getting 170+ but not seeing those actual score changes on the timed version? Does anyone have advice on how to fix it? Is it just more practice with doing timing? I noticed one thing that I have trouble with is more of the logic ones like SA's, NA's, Mbt, etc where I get them wrong on the timed tests but get them right on blind review when I have time to work through them.

    SA/NA/MBT as problem areas sounds like you might need to solidify underlying conditional diagramming or causal reasoning skills. If you practice the underlying reasoning more, you'll be able to do those questions faster so you can achieve higher scores even within the bounds of time pressure. Or if you're overlooking any key words, you can practice identifying those words in any stimulus that you read, thereby training yourself to become more attentive.

    In a similar boat. So frustrating to pinpoint. I will say, something I heard in the LSAT podcast today that I'm going to focus on is a lot of untimed reviews and keep writing it out because eventually, doing that will become 2nd nature so it doesn't take so long and we can even do it in our heads. So that's amazing that you know you are capable of those high scores!! you've got this!!

    I feel the same way! Very frustrating knowing how much higher I could be scoring

    I’m in the same situation! And it’s very frustrating. Personally, I miss questions during timed tests because of misreading a word or overlooking a specific detail. Would love any advice!
