I practiced today but honestly I felt mind of exhausted. I'm so tired of waking up every morning and studying for the exam and today I was just sick of it so much that after taking a practice barely I reviewed anything. I was wondering whether I should take a break tomorrow just relax and try again on Thursday. I did take a break last Friday and Saturday so it's not like I'm working nonstop. Or should I try again tomorrow. I dont think I'm burning out but I'm just tired of it all

@SofiaAviles 3 months of hardcore studying ( 4-5 days a week, 4-5 hrs per day) from a 143. I was plateauing in the early to mid 150s for a month
@TeklaCo All those hours of fucking studying and those sets backs and it's so worth it
I just finished taking PT 153 and got 160
A couple weeks ago I felt was stagnate but now I generally feel like I'm improving. I got my highest score ever on PT 154 ( a 157)and I'm so much closer to my dream score. I took a practice RC passage from PT 148 after feeling stressed out about RC and I felt more confident than ever took a RC passage and my timing was a lot better. Usually I don't finish a lot of questions and guess but I only guessed at one without looking at the answer.
I first entered the 150s in late March. Then, almost a week later, I got a 153. Then another 153. Now a 154. I took section 1 of PT 127 and got a Preptest equivalent of a 154. I just want to enter the 160s. I've started focusing on on flaw reasoning and reconcile questions. Now I'm focusing on weakening and strengthening, the latter I'm struggling with, but I'm starting to let go of my mindset that the answer has to explicitly prove the conclusion, and I feel like I'm performing better. I just don't understand why I'm not improving. In this section, I took the advice of people here, focusing on accuracy over quantity. So I spent more time than I would have pressed for time. I had more answers left unanswered compared to other PTs ( really, 3 more), but I got 17 correct out of the 19 intentionally chosen. (22 with blind review). The rest I guessed on without looking at the questions due to lack of time and got none right lol. If you have any tips, specifically on time and calming yourself down due to anxiety on tests. Thanks in advance
Even tho I got it right, I felt like B was wrong because it said marine biologist but D couldn't be right to me and that was the only other possible explanation
Basically the title. How do you know if let's say you are improving on the flaw question types. Also how many LR sections is recommended you do let's say per week or biweekly
There's virtually no difference between -7 and a -5. It could simply be due to a harder test tbh.
I heard preptest 150 is much harder than other PTs on reddit and some said they scored lower on it, so Im wondering is that the case for many, if not most ppl who took it. My score was exactly the same as another test I took but I studied between PT 150 and my previous ( only a week but still ). I was wondering if it's possible that I could get a higher score on the real exam
The reason why I didn't choose D is that not being more successful means that it can be equally or more successful. That's not a reason to support
I got this answer correct, but the way this stimulus was phrased was so confusing. I read it twice
Ask yourself first why is your blind reviewing score ten points higher than your actual score. Why did you choose the first answer and why are you making a different response now. Also maybe learning the foundations and what you should do certain questions.
There's not a set amount of tests you should take. Try taking a PT once every 2 weeks can help
Same for me too. The score can be in the same score. band or close to being in the same band if that makes sense. For instance, someone who makes 147 on one exam could have easily made a 151 on the samr test. You know? So idk if I would worry about it too much tbh
Edit: Also a 5 point difference in score isnt that bad in general
Yes. I have anxiety over taking full tests too and the best way I can deal with it is by taking a full test. I tell myself by taking a full test I can measure my faults particularly about time or gain a better understanding of my abilities. Most importantly, I tell myself I have time. Idk when you plan on officially taking the exam but according your post it seems you also have time to fix the problems. So just breath and allow yourself the ability to do so.
Can I ask you what are the difference in scores between your older and newer tests?
Also try to be as confident as possible and try your best. That is really all we can do
Edit: I also took an old test and performed much better than a recent one. It sucks because it means I might have to work harder
@Rena12345 I know it's only 3 point difference but is my score on PT 126 representative of what I can get on the actual test or is it to not that recent
I took pretest 149 and got a 150. Days later, I did Preptest A and got a 158. Today I took PT 126 and got a 153. I struggled on RC more than my previous practices because two of the passages were HARD. I studied and learned concepts since my 150, but it's been a week. Where would that place me? Was my score on Preptest A a fluke, or could I get a 158
Same. I'm just focusing on LSAT rn and getting my second letter of recommendation. Everything less is just can be done later
