I recently posted I didnt do well on an exam and the day afterwards I was disappointed so I was like I can't go out like this and I did a practice test to prove I could do better. The first test I got a 153. The second 159. The test I took two weeks ago was a 158. I did worse than usual on my RC so several reasons on the test I got a 153 so I want to give myself grace but I dont want to ever score in the early or mid 150s anymore. I want to start scoring in the 160s to so I can get a very good score by October l. I guess just writing my thoughts for the test I got a 159. I only got 2 incorrect in one section. So its in me
I didn't do well on my last PT, which is a contrast to my performance on the one before, where I did very well, my second-best score. My biggest drop is RC, which I am usually strong in.
Edit: I spend so much time and money on this, and what happens if it's all for nothing? What happens if I don't go to law school? What do I do?
Edit: I wanted to take the exam is Oct and thought since I was making improvements I could get a better score than I thoight I would but nope
What I heard is that you can reuse old practice questions if you run out since you likely won't remember all the questions. This happened to me recently because I did a section that I did months ago and I recognized some questions and answers but I didn't remember what was right or not.
Off topic : but its interesting to see the results of other people scores. Cause there is times when I get a good score then next time not so much.
If you need to take a day off. Do it. Then just review the answers, see what you can do next time and practice till you feel like you wont make that mistake again. That's all you can do and hopefully you do well on the exam
Questions like this always make me so confused, and my brain hurts. Crazy how 91 percent are getting this right now despite being a level 3 quesiton
I think its possible for me to get a 170 by then from what I'm getting now . Here's hoping
@inky I also don't think I wanna go to big law or care much to go to a very top school. I am trying my best to study to get the best score as possible to sends app in the fall
Got in the low 150s. After PT in the late 150s-160. Feel hopeless
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
Same. I'm just focusing on LSAT rn and getting my second letter of recommendation. Everything less is just can be done later
@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
I got this wrong because superseding to me means that people now are using information terms to replace geographical consideraitons when definition defining urban and rural lifestyles but the passagd is just advocating for a different approach
