This is so real. For me it used to be that I would get the last 5-6 of the section wrong being that they were usually the most difficult. As my scores began to improve and I understood the way that the LSAT wanted me to think, I realized I began to overthink and overcomplicate the easiest questions which has just kept me sitting at the same score. Need to realize that they are as simple as they look sometimes and not everything is trying to throw me and absolute curveball.
@AaronWebbLaw the studying at work real... (currently writing this on the work computer)
100% agree! While balancing a fulltime job and study for the LSAT, one thing I've realized is that whenever I'm really tired after a long day or haven't slept very well the night before my scores are SIGNIFICANTLY worse. On the contrary, whenever I study on the weekends or days where I feel very well-rested, I do much much better.
Given this, I've began to just not study at all or just in little bits on nights I know I'm tired because I realized that on those nights where I continue to study I end up doing worse and getting frustrated at myself because I think I'm getting worse but in reality am just mentally and physically exhausted.
Make sure you guys are well-rested while studying, I've found it to be almost counterproductive to study while tired.
Just seems like you need to take your time to really get an idea of the core concepts and question stems of the LSAT. In my opinion with just that alone you can comfortably score above a 140 without anything else. There are just certain ways we need to think about different questions that is not the typical way we would think about them.
I would recommend spend a good amount of time watching the core curriculum videos from the very beginning and learning all about conditional logic, question stems, and core concepts. That's how I begun studying before I did any questions and that really helped me tackle the questions.
If you are going to take in fall of 2027, you have more than enough time to score in the 160's and 70's, best of luck!
