@dongdonge1996 No problem! Try no timer until you get every question right; then maybe try a timer and then move on to the next level of questions? Up to you to decide what would work better for you whether you try with a timer after you get each level correct, or move all the way through each level only working on accuracy and then using a timer after you find accuracy with 5 star questions.

From what I have read in other discussion posts, this is a common question so you are not alone, and I personally had this question until I figured out what works best with own personal style and preferences, but it took from hearing from others to curate my own way to get faster (I still struggle with speed, but have gotten faster with better accuracy.)

With all those disclaimers aside, what I found most helpful was to start by drilling with easy questions and working on accuracy before moving on to speed. It is better to start with slow accuracy, rather than practicing the wrong thing, just faster.

So, accuracy first until the questions become more intuitive, then add more difficult questions, and then increase speed.

This method helped me jump drastically in scoring! I wish I learned this earlier, because I ended up practicing the wrong thing over and over and wasn't making any progress until I started super simple and focused on accuracy.

Lastly, keep doing blind review even when you are moving slowly through the questions. It is useful to solidify your answer choices so that you can gain confidence to then build speed. The goal is 100 percents in blind reviews-push those blind reviews as high of score as possible.

Also remember to keep a wrong answer journal- paraphrasing my mistakes and then re-writing them to make them correct helped solidify the right answers for me to help build my intuition to then build speed.

Happy testing!

@Tumptytumtoes My impression is that your question is exactly the assumption that could be "faulty" in the logic sequence. The scientists believe that they are controlling the experiment, but who knows whether the proteins will be recognized by the body appropriately. They made an assumption that the body would react in that way. Maybe the body could react differently to the skin test and then there is a misdiagnosis.

I'm a millennial looking for a career change, therefore all of my LOR's are from previous supervisors/managers that have worked with me directly. In the LOR's they talk about my intellectual capacity and commitment/rigor etc. that you mention above. My impression overall is that law school applications are looking for you to be the most honest, so I'm assuming that whatever environment reflects you as an individual most appropriately would be the environment that is closest to you in time and scale.

The previous comment mentioned that having a professor LOR is mainly recommended if you are coming from college/university, and I have read/heard the same thing.

Sounds like you are on the right track. I have watched several youtube videos from admissions panels and they state similar suggestions, so I believe you are on the right track.

Best of luck on your journey!

Good news! This is doable! Depending on how much time you have to study per day, it is feasible. Have you checked out the study plan through 7 sage? They offer great analytics and have drills set up to the most impactful parts of the LSAT to improve your score.

From reading other 7 sage responses, the best way to improve is to drill, drill, drill. The strategy I have learned from others is to start with simple questions and consistently get those questions correct and then move to harder questions as you improve.

The individuals that have increased their scores about 6 or 7 points are drilling at least 4-5 hours a day. The study plan is great at providing a plan that will be feasible to meet your goals; it can provide a general picture of what it would take to meet your goals and what a timeline would look like.

Other 7 sage'ers mention the quality of their study time to be an obstacle, and they worry they keep repeating the same mistakes while drilling, and so there are different ways to support your learning to be focused and productive. Personally, I work through my wrong answers and then pretend I have to teach someone the concept and typically see the mistakes, and then practice the right concept.

It is a slow, grind type of process, but it is doable and feasible! You got this!

Congrats!!! Great to hear these stories! Drilling seems to be the answer to help with your score! I was wondering whether I should keep practicing by drilling, and if it would really improve my score?

Best wishes on your law school journey!

I am on this journey with RC, too. The two ways I am working to improve are by getting faster with the low-res summaries, so that they become more intuitive, and then active reading. Active reading is summarizing, questioning, and identifying the structure with the author's intent. I have been getting caught up in the details of the arguments rather than the arguments themselves. Happy studying!

@YaminiPrasad im on the west coast and taking the test in jan. The test is coming up quickly!
