Over the course of 2 years I took the LSAT 3 times and studied my ass off. I spent countless hours learning, reading this forum and taking PT's... I had an excellent tutor @Sami (even though I'm a bad student). I wanted to say thank you to everyone who contributes to this forum, Sami and 7Sage as a whole.
End result: I got about $450 a semester shy of a full ride to my choice law school and couldn't have done it without you guys.
@victoriaroman480240 get back up, dust yourself off and try again. I've taken the LSAT 3 times, 1st I got a 146, 2nd 149 and 3rd 157 (June 2018). Regardless, this is just a stepping stone in your journey. Now you know what its like and can adjust your studying accordingly.
First 3 lg games were ridiculously easy and last game not so much.
if it looks like you and you don't have sunglasses on or someone else in the picture I think you'll be fine. I had a beard in my picture and showed up clean shaven on test day and they let me in.
Okay so I scored a 162 on PT 71 and 178 on BR.
Stats:
-6 S1
-0 BR S1
After recording, I noticed something alarming. On LR Section one I spent:
13:47 on just 4 of the hardest questions (I got all right)
6:15 on the 6 questions I got wrong.
All of the questions I got wrong I spent around a minute on each. I spent very little time on the questions I got wrong that I didn't think were hard and much more time on the perceived hard questions.
You guys need to record yourself taking PT's to see where you're sinking time and maybe not spending enough time.
Does anyone have any more tips for recording? What to look for? How to tweak my strategy?
I would def recommend 7 sage ultimate+. The question bundles have made a huge difference in my score. I would treat it like a full time job for the most part. If you want a high score you have to make sure you're devoting enough time to it.
I am currently PT'ing around 161-162 and BR'ing 172-174. I'm aiming for 165+ on the June test.
by section I'm missing:
LR: 8-10 total
LG:3-4
RC:8-12
I know the fundamentals. Worked with an excellent tutor for RC. I seem to be choosing the attractor choice over the correct answer in LR and running out of time in LG. RC is about the best its going to get.
My questions are:
Where should I go from here?
Any strategies I could play around with to speed up?
You got this!!! I would refresh yourself with fundamentals and print out a practice test to see where your weaknesses are.
No I wouldn't. I tried the trainer and didn't get much from it. I use velocity LSAT prep as well and it has been a huge help. You could get through all the videos in a month too. I would definitely recommend it.
@artalayis927 thank you so much for your inspiring words
Hey all! Hope all is well. I'm starting to take full tests in preparation for the June LSAT. I'm averaging 161 thus far and would like to be around 165.
Any tips?
Also, with a 2 week old baby, working a job (quit my 2nd to study more), family life, and household obligations... how do you guys find a balance?
I'm in the exact same position as you. I have found that doing the LG and LR bundles from 1-59 have been a tremendous help. I also bought Velocity LSAT prep course and it has been super helpful. I'm up 12-14 points from my Sept 2017 score.
I would absolutely report it. When the times comes for your character & fitness check it will come up and negatively affect you. You will be glad you did, even though its petty, they take everything into consideration.
Saul Goodman or Harvey Specter. Whichever comes first.
what is Pacifico's LG bundle strategy? @tylergkohring661
Yes it is worth it. Just a few more points on the LSAT could mean thousands in scholarships or even the difference in getting in or not getting into a school.

I grew up in Bexley- very cool.
Awesome!!! Where are you going to law school?
Accepted and going to Capital Law School in Columbus, Ohio :smile:
This is a prime example of the nonsense that has no bearing on anything relevant to law school.
I thought since introduced premises....
I literally hate the LSAT so much

Also, are you tracking difficulty level? I like what @quirksarah1574 said.
Yes they're almost always the highest difficulty. 3-4 stars
I'm having serious trouble with weaken questions. I am only averaging about 1/2 correct. Could anyone help?
What is your plan of attack for weaken questions?
So I'm going -2 to -6 per section on LR.
I am missing a wide range of questions it's not just a specific question type. Does anyone have some advice or what has helped them for prepping?
I'm using all the time allotted.
BR'ing to -1 or -2.
What have you guys done to get LR down to -0?
I can assure you100% that a prep course is necessary. I've taken the LSAT twice and will be taking it for a 3rd time in June and am still learning things.
You without a doubt should do some sort of prep course.
