Feel more and more hopeless every day thinking of those logical reasoning sections, anyone feel the same way? :( Were they especially hard or was it just me...?

I feel the same way. For me it was like when the proctor said begin,I just was reading but not really understanding like I would be in PTs. It was just like running purely on my subconscious. It was strange and I think I did poorly on the LR. The LG and RC was much easier.

Haha yeah - thanks a lot. I always read those comments like prepare for the worst, but I didn’t think I needed to practice taking the test with one eye closed. Just a suggestion for all you out there who wear contacts, try a section with only your non-dominate eye!

lolololol didn't get to bed until 430 am annnnndddd only gets to use one eye. i wore conacts during the test. but i honestly think if i were in your shoes, i would just be like fuck it and quit. or just keep both eyes open (more comfortable than keeping one closed) and read in a blur. so kudos to you for holding it down during the sections.

I had LR, LR, LG before the break and the second LR was what I think is the experimental and I was actually so close to getting up and leaving. Then I did the games and felt I got through it well then feel like the second half was better than the first. But definitely a brutal experience. Just trying to minimize the stress of thinking about how to proceed studying. I never did the CC I just worked through The Trainer, so I think I will go with a full 7Sage course, take my time, and go for 170+ for next September.

I had 3 LR sections - during the first section, on about question 12, my contact fell out and I took the rest of the test until the break with my left eye. I'm actually more concerned with how many people are saying the mining game was difficult - makes me think I might have thought it was too easy and completely messed it up. Oh well, most likely going to have to retake anyways!

Okay thanks everyone. So when you suggest using the PTs/sections as diagnostic, then what would be used to drill? Previous problem sets?

Please Advise

Taking suggestions on the following dilemma:

I started studying in late June - I worked through 1 lesson per day of the LSAT trainer, did the prescribed drills, and completed that in about 2 months. From there I have done mostly timed sections (all of 72-81) and 62-68; however, I have only taken approximately 5 or 6 full length exams. I started at a 143 cold diagnostic and my scores are 156, 154, 158, 161, and 154. I got logic games down to avg -4 (some later PTs killed this average with the miscellaneous games). I feel confident there now. I do not feel confident in LR although I feel much more prepared than I did 1 month ago.

Here's the dilemma - I am taking the test Saturday. My goal when this all started was to get a 162. I really would like to start law school next fall and not wait a whole year; however, I absolutely know I am capable of a significantly higher score than what I will get on Saturday.I really think I can get 170+ if I did the 40 plus tests took all the time, but is it worth waiting another year? I am 25, turn 26 in March, and a life underwriter (risk selection for a big company) so work is very draining - lots of reading and critical thinking throughout the day. So, studying has felt rushed and stressful. Money is also a big factor in this equation due to lots of undergrad debt from a private institution.

If I take the nov test and continue to study for the January, do you all think that 10ish weeks would be sufficient to get to the 165 mark? Obviously I am nowhere close to the prescribed 40 PTs though. So say I'd do 1 PT per weekend for 10 weeks and some sort of light drill work during the week on LR. Do you think that would give me a good shot at 165?

This is incredibly scattered and non linear - forgive me for that. I'm in full stress/evaluation mode.

Thanks for feedback.

Personal Statement

I’m looking to submit everything tonight. My essay is probably off the normal route of delivery but I feel it’s the most accurate way to portray my desire to pursue law. Would anyone want to review and ensure you feel it is appropriate?

I went -2 on LG and on LR I somehow missed questions 8 through 16 (every single one). I had to have mixed up numbering. Ended up with a 153. This was my first time, but still Incredibly frustrated. I needed a 158+. January is too soon I feel. Gonna wait another cycle. Eff man.

Hey all, this may seem like a stupid question but can someone explain what the curve does in terms of scoring, specifically that is. I just used my raw score conversion after each PT. Is the curve what would determine those 1-2 point changes? If so, the curve then doesn’t seem like that is that big of an impact as people are implying. Thanks for clarifying
