LSAT · Increase 10+ points from low 160s to 170s in 2.5 months? Possible?

@ZKhan thank you! I do think this is my trap, like one of the other commenters said about default relying on intuition as a trap. This definitely helps reinforcing its quality over quantity.

@PhoebeHopp Thank you! This is very helpful! That's actually fairly close to my current routine (using my worst tagged questions for untimed drills) , so helps so much knowing I'm on the right track.

😖 Frustrated

Increase 10+ points from low 160s to 170s in 2.5 months? Possible?

Looking for advice for anyone who has actually done the above??? Especially those who struggle with LR.

Planning for September Test. I study every day, usually at least 2-3 hours on weekdays, try to get up to 4-5 hours on weekend days. LR is my enemy... I consistently get about -6 when I do a timed section. That hasn't moved in a month. Almost all my wrong answers are in the last 5-6 questions. When I BR, I usually get between -2 to -3.

RC comes pretty naturally to me, but still will get about -4 to -6 per section (BR around -0 to -1). Science is my worst topic, but I think it's pretty possible for me to only get -1 to -3 on RC with more repetition, so I'm less worried. I split about 80/20 LR to RC when studying.

Feels like no matter what I do I can't move the LR score. Any tips???

*Not trying to be an LSAT wizard, but I can only go to NYC metro area schools, because I have kids and can't move for school. Most schools I need a 168+ with the GPA I have to even get into the lower tiered ones.

General · Anyone else dislike the new UI?

That's the worst part of it for me, the "hide" button change....I didn't practice too much in the old interface except when doing the lesson plans and loved that it was right next to it, and I used it pretty regularly.

When I started in the new one, I kept doing the same thing, flipping it on and off to use, and then forgetting you have it on/wasting time. It's annoying and every second is valuable!

So I started practicing basically without it, unless having an "EXCEPT" question, where I'll turn it on for answer elimination. I think if you're doing any question where you know you are going to approach answers with POE, turn it on right away and then you'll get practice only having to hopefully turn it on/off once, thus saving the little bits of time.

Can you make more!?

This helped a lot- I'm a very visual learner which is why the diagramming alone with just arrows & trying to remember those rules tends to be pretty hard for me for conditional reasoning. It giving you a real time check/feedback too to be sure you're doing it correctly is fantastic.

@David_Busis A quick comment on an error it keeps producing - I do like it and find it valuable, BUT - it keeps mis-reading/doesn't understand when you have adjusted your timing. I have accommodations for testing for 150% time, so I typically practice with those conditions. But then if I ask it for analysis, typically it will bring up that I'm practicing in "standard" timing and I'll do better under my expected timing, which is just not true. It will say this when I've done a section on 150% time.

Also, agree it's sycophantic like all AI models - which is nice when I need a little confidence boost to keep going when I get something wrong! But too much, and I worry it can actually derail people's progress if they have some false hope/think they're doing better than they actually are. Which could end up being worse if you start slightly prompting it to boost yourself with the questions you ask. I noticed this when I asked after an LR section, "How would this influence my overall score because I'm already very strong in RC?" And it instantly agreed with that, even though - yes I've gotten perfect passages and sections where I only get -1 or -2 in RC, but have also had some ones with as much as -6. And I would hate for it to keep giving me the impression that "it's ok - you got this still!" when I actually have some areas I really still need to improve.

My sister tutors for the SAT and says a really common mental trap for students is to make excuses for themselves when they didn't get something right they already feel confident in ( "I got distracted briefly on that question..," and "oh I just read that one too fast...", "I have a headache today, that's why it was wrong.." etc. )- those things could very well be true, but I could see the AI reinforcing some of these thoughts based on prompts you put in, possibly to your detriment.

I'm a critic of AI, but I do think it has some very limited useful applications and see how this could be improved to be very useful to students to continue to identify learning gaps and help with study strategy, but I would be very careful about monitoring and fine tuning the product to trim where it could actually be hurtful to students.

@businessgoose Second this - also check out the app Insight Timer. Calm is a good one too but Insight Timer has more meditation techniques that they will teach you.

If you're doing that well at your age already, give yourself a major pat on the back. I regret not treating myself that way at your age. For what it's worth, I'm finally going to Law School at 36 years old after feeling pretty much exactly like you when I was 24 and wanted to go the first time. I actually believe I'll perform 100x better with going now than I would have as my younger self.... I've worked in advertising, commercial insurance, and the production industry, getting to the top of my game there, and got married and had two kids. It's amazing what time will do to bring your confidence up.

I promise if you give yourself a break, you'll thank yourself later.
