I still don't get this as I eliminated B because how do we know that the artifacts belonging to the ancestors were in fact tools they developed. HELP

I still don't understand this question. If anyone can give me an alternative explanation, that'll be great

@ Sorry I wasn’t that clear. I thought you meant what was my process after I finished answering all of the questions.

So yes, first I look at the stem, I identify the premises/conclusions, and I go based on my notes how to anaylze the question. Most of which, I already do by physically writing my steps down before checking the answers. If it is MBT, I know it is logic heavy. If it is NA, I negate answers and see if something completely destroys the argument. BUT I completely understand what you mean. Your advice is really helpful. As others have stated, I think what will help is joining studying groups, tutoring, going back to the basics.

Thank you! I will be messaging you.

Hi @ My process right now doing the sections untimed is to go through each question and to those that I hesitate in to then I mark them down with stars and I rate how difficult the questions are by giving them one star to three stars. For questions i have to skip, I immediately give them two stars and for questions i am lost in, I give them three starts.

After I finished a section, I go back and check to see which ones I get wrong. I have a spreadsheet that separates the questions that I wrong (those i gave stars to vs. those that I didn't *overconfidence). I watch 7sage videos to the questions I get wrong and look at everyone's comments. I then write on my spreadsheet for every question I got wrong - why I believe I got it wrong and what I should do next time. On another tab, I write down pointers of what stood out/what tricked me/what I should look for for next time. Also, after doing this for both LR sections, I look at the types of questions I got wrong and see what type I keep missing, I put that on the margin.

I have also physically in clear sheet binders PT 38-56. After I am done reviewing, I label the questions I got wrong (with one, two, three stars) and I also label if they were cookie cutter questions. I go back and look back to the questions I got wrong, but usually I already remember the answer choice. However, to those I don't, I try to do them again.

When I was doing PTs timed and then BR, I was doing a similar process above.

I haven't studied for RC as in the beginning of my studying, I focused on LG and now LR. But, from the latest PT I took with RC (Feb- March 2018), I got -17 and -6 in BR, in another PT, -12 and BR -11 and -14 and BR -8.

Hi thank you for your comments @ , I will message you for the study group!

After I finished the CC, I took my first PT and got a 143. I then began to practice LG. So I took several games, foolproof them all in a span of 3 months. I feel so much better in them, but I understand that I should not be getting -3/-2 in the games. I have been doing timed LGs during my lunch and re-doing them the next day. I have been keeping a spreadsheet and a binder of all the PTs that I have and noting those that I got wrong and why I got them wrong when I take my timed sections.

With LR, I feel as though, maybe the Ultimate can help me. I am certain that 7sage has helped me the most in my prep. I will have to consider my finances in upgrading or maybe even taking private tutoring as @ stated.

@ I definitely hope others chime in as well!

I chose A because I thought "unusually inaccurate" signified that reporters is usually accurate in their reports, which I thought doesn't strength or do anything for the argument

So two summers ago (May to August2017), I started my journey. I was scoring in 131, 133 range using the Self Trainer and Powerscore books. I cancelled my test day as I was not ready. My dream is to get into Harvard. I took a break and began studying again in December with 7sage.

In March 2018, I was scoring around 141, 142. In late July-August, I was scoring low 150s (152-153), my BR score was ranging 160-161.

My breakdown since November 2018 is -5/-4 on LR, -10/-12 on RC (I haven't studied for RC at all since I began studying), and for LR (-10/-9).

It is the last PT I took as so far, as I am still not improving in LR. So, I've been doing untimed sections of old tests and going back to the basics.

However, even untimed, I usually get -11/-12 totaled for both LR sections. In the meanwhile as I practice LR, I time myself in LG and typically go (-3).

Is this normal? I am feeling immensely discouraged as I thought by now, I would be ready to take the LSAT this June. With calculating my untimed LR sections, timed LG, and assuming I am still scoring (-10/-12) on RC, I am still scoring low 150s. If I keep studying how I've been studying, will I ever reach my target score (170-175)? Any tips?

Note: I work full-time, 40hrs a week. I try to study 2 hours before work, 1hr at lunch, and 10 hours on weekends (at least 15 hours a week).

Thank you everyone for these comments! I've struggled with this exam (with numerous breakdowns left to right).. and I've tried my hardest these past months in improving, so I guess I just assumed that I would be at my target score by now. I should try not to be too hard on my self and continue at it

So last summer (May to August2017), I started my journey. I was scoring in 133, 134 range using the Self Trainer and Powerscore books. I took a break and began studying again in December with 7sage. In March, I was scoring around 141, 142. My score as of now is 152, my BR score is 161. Am I improving too slowly? Is this normal? If I keep studying how I've been studying, will I reach my target score (170) by at least next June? I feel discouraged. Any tips?

Note: I work full-time, 40hrs a week.

Are you sure?
