When it comes to higher difficulty questions I have a tendency to narrow down to 2 answer choices, one of them being the correct answer. I also tend to second guess myself and change my answer due to lack of confidence. In sum, I just can't stop getting tricked up by these answer choices despite understanding the stimulus.
If you're scoring a 142 it's highly likely that you don't have a good understanding of the foundations yet. What is your study routine like?
Almost every time I PT there is always a significant gap between my actual score to BR score. I am making gradual progress on LR sections, yet I can't seem to shrink these gaps. Today I scored -8 and -2BR, and my past sections have had similar 6+ point gaps.
I don't know if I am just under too much stress every time I do a section, or if this means I need to work on translation skills. Let me know your thoughts, also if anyone has any tips on what they did to shrink these gaps.
@MariamSalem814 Thank you I'll take a look on Tik Tok, good luck with everything!
@MariamSalem814 Thanks for your advice, I definitely agree with the scholarship aspect too.
And yeah reddit actually sucks, most pessimistic people ever. According to them you need a 4.0 GPA, 178 LSAT score, and a recommendation letter from the President of the United States to be qualified for a T30 law school.
Due to unforeseen circumstances, I was unable to take the LSAT at an earlier date. As a result, I have to take it in April. I am mainly just worried that most schools, even those with rolling admissions, will close their applications by the time scores are released.
Also wanted to add that I understand the April LSAT is too late for certain competitive schools. My post is just referring to the general bulk of law schools outside of the T25.
@jrrphd The ideal answer is the best possible answer you can come up with. It'll contain explicit language that was seen in the stimulus, and rephrases the main conclusion verbatim in the answer choice. You are not always going to see the ideal answer choice in an LSAT question.
Often times question stems that contain verbiage such as "best represents the main conclusion" etc. will have answer choices that are not necessarily ideal, but will still share the same conceptual meaning. The right answer choice in these instances will paraphrase the main conclusion instead of adopting verbatim language seen in the stimulus. In essence, the right/correct answer choice to any main conclusion question will always be the question that is most provable from the stimulus.
@MichaelWright This was great advice thank you for your time! I really thought that "hypothesis" approach was interesting, definitely going to try that out on my next session.
