LSAT · Finding the gap.

Hey there,

Recognition like this takes time. I've been on my LSAT journey for around 1.5 years, and it took me a while to gain that speed when analyzing premises and conclusions. I once heard on an LSAT podcast that to train your mind for that mode, you need to keep getting into the habit of making those conclusions in your head. Before you even look at the answer choices, I try to predict the answer just by reading the stimuli right off the bat. Any guess is better than no guess. Once you get into the habit of coming up with something that makes sense to you, given the premises and conclusions, I can almost guarantee you will slowly start to see your predictions in the answer choices.

The second thing I will add is that I also struggled with it at first. Take away the clock, don't focus on how long it takes you to get a question right. Speed comes with accuracy and time. I would literally sit there during drill and take an hour to do just a few problems because I was making myself sit until I could understand the question inside and out, especially why the correct answer choice was the correct one.

LSAT · April Score: Need tips and motivations

Coming from someone who had a 133 diagnosis. I took my first test in September of last year and scored a 146, a significant jump from having no idea what to expect and minimal practice due to a lack of resources. With that said, I felt extremely defeated after my first score release and had to delay my application cycle because I thought I'd definitely do better on the actual test. News flash... I did not do better. My advice would be to do what I did: take time to digest your score, take a 1-2 week break from any LSAT stuff at all. After your break, go back to basics, make sure you understand the fundamentals (of your problem areas, if applicable), then start ramping back up studying as you prepare for your next test. I followed that exact process and am now PT'ing in the low 160s, which gives me a high chance of getting into the school I want to go to. Best of luck to you in your studying, remember this test does not define you!!

LSAT · Cancel or Keep?!

if you keep it, it can help show improvement over your LSAT administrations. Like schools will be able to see your improvement from 160-170 but that of course is contingent on you doing better the second time. I got a 146 my first LSAT and did not cancel to show my progression over time. If I were you I would cancel only if you are concerned that you will not see a significant improvement in scores based on your PT, etc. Best of luck to you!
